“It is believed that Shakespeare was 46 around the time that the King James Version of the Bible was written. In Psalms 46, the 46th word from the first word is shake and the 46th word from the last word is spear.”

i got angry with my front door
Comments: 3 people have voiced their opinion. What do YOU think?
technology is a wonderful thing. it makes all our lives easier than it used to me, but it boggles the mind that sometimes it is implemented half way through, and that really sucks.
i have a routine, i walk towards my car, press the unlock, listen to the reassuring click sound that tells me the car has been unlocked and i open the door and get in. same when i get down from the car. i click the car and wait to hear it click back to know the door is locked and we are all good.
today morning i had my hands full of stuff and was a bit preoccupied when i ran out of the apartment, closed the front door and locked it. dammit, it did not lock; so i tried it again. still unlocked. i was starting to get annoyed at the door. why was it not locking itself. after staring daggers at the poor door for a few seconds it struck me that this was my apartment front door not my car door. thats why it was not clicking back at me when i clicked on the lock button. DUH!
i proceeded to sheepishly put the door key into the lock, turn the key locking the door, looked both to my left and right to make sure non of my neighbors had witnessed this very embarrassing moment of me clicking my front door and headed to my car which responded much better and as expected to my unlock clicks than my front door had.
this got me thinking. why don’t they have the same mechanism for buildings that they have for automobiles. its a very useful technology that can be used in many different area’s. why was its implementation stopped at just automobiles?
am i the only one this has happened to? i would love to hear if anyone of you have experiences something similar.

I have a dream is now yes we can

in 1963, in front of the Lincoln Memorial, Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke the words that he is probably most famous for. “I Have a Dream”
today, that speech came into realization as President Elect, Mr. Barack Obama gave his acceptance speech in Chicago. i think the words of “I have a dream” have now been transformed into the phrase “YES WE CAN“. the dream has finally been realized.
this is enormous for all youth of color. it gives great hope to everyone that if you believe in something hard enough you can do it. yes you can!
i think this will also give black people and all people of color a much more stable identity for themselves. it gives them a new light in which to look at themselves in. i think we will start to see a new wave of youths of color. a generation of youth who will take their future more seriously and know that they can indeed achieve anything they want and that phrase of “Believe in yourself” is not just hollow advice that does not mean anything.
here’s to a new era both in the United States of America as well as in the rest of the world.
Congratulations Mr. President – Barack Obama. Now what?

this is indeed a wonderful wonderful time for all Americans and all citizens of the world. having Barack Obama as the president of the United States of America means so much for the change that he promises. In the last 8 years America has made many enemies. now is the time for repair. both within America as well as its relations with the rest of the world. i know that President Obama will do us all proud.
what i am more curious about is what will happen to the McCain camp? i can just imagine the thoughts going through the hierarchy of the republican camp. McCain can now retire in peace and enjoy his old age, he deserves it. he ran a good race and didn’t make the cut. the big problem here is Palin. McCain brought her in. she didn’t work. now how the hell are they going to get rid of her before she causes more embarrassment to both the republican party as well as to the entire nation of the United States of America to the rest of the world. i mean she is already the laughing stock of the international community.
what a delema….
video – cartoon that reminds us what the declaration of independence is all about
with the elections coming up in just a few days, i though this looney tunes cartoon i just came across would be very useful for reminding us what the American constitution and the declaration of independence is all about.
“Freedom of Religion” and “Freedom of Speech” to name a few…

video – Barak Obama 30 minute commercial
Comments: 1 Comment so far. Your Next
about two days ago, US presidential candidate Barak Obama aired a 30 minute commercial on almost all the major tv stations. titled “American Stories, American Solutions: 30 Minute Special” it featured stories of everyday americans that i think almost everyone in america can relate to. it also gave Obama an opportunity to talk to directly to the people, making his closing argument so to speak before tuesdays election.
this 30 minute video was one of the most touching, honest, and open messages i have seen in a political campaign. what am amazing production. here is a man who really seems to GET IT. seems to get what everyday people live through on a daily basis.
lets face it. if someone owns 6, 7 houses and mingles with the richest of the rich all the time, they have a different perspective to life. they don’t really understand what the middle class goes through. to them the middle class and other the rest are just statistics. the mechanisms that need to be in place for the rich to get richer and stay rich and they will do what ever it takes to make sure they can afford that 8th mansion and gold home and 60 foot yacht.
watch the video after the jump and let me know what you feel. if you have already watched the video i’d love to hear what your opinion was on it.

i just finished watching this video and really liked it. i think the video is very well done, well shot, well cut and well presented. it draws you in and makes you listen to the lyrics. i think everyone can learn something from these lyrics. its a good lesson for all.
so who is ras ceylon. based in Los Angeles, he is Sri Lankan in origin. i haven’t had much exposure to his music but hope to learn more about him. this song has definitely got my curiosity peaked.

news – air raid in colombo, sri lanka
Comments: 3 people have voiced their opinion. What do YOU think?
when ever news of this sort reaches my ears i get very worries. are all the people i know safe, etc…
tempered with this, there are some occasions where i cant help but to laugh. today was one of those occasions. as worried as i was, i literally burst out laughing when i read the following news story on Reuters. Tamil Tiger planes bomb power station and army camp.
so what was so funny about the article that caused this outburst? here you go.
Shortly after the lights went out, the sound of anti-aircraft guns thundered from Colombo’s shoreline, and people stood in the streets to watch.
i mean, the whole point of a blackout is for people to head indoors, and wait it out in darkness until it is safe to come out again. NOT to go and stand in the road where you can get hurt by stray artillery fire.
i guess somethings will never change. we sri lankans are a very curious bunch, but sometimes its better to be cautious and safe than curious and sorry don’t you think?
