King James and the Glory That Is Childrens Food

Every night I eat dinner with my family, which currently consists of me, my parents, and my youngest brother James, who is now 8. James rules the house with an iron fist. We call him "King James," but really that's an insult to him; he lives more like a Pharaoh.

He controls the TV in a manner that would make Gadhafi blush. He doesn't ask what's for dinner - he tells you what's for dinner. He hasn't worn pants on the weekend since 2007. He has a goldfish next to his bed - Oscar - who was won at a town fair in 2003 and is still alive. That's from the first term of the Bush administration! If those goldfish make it a day before going down the toilet, you call it a win. The only explanation is that James has not yet given him permission to die.

But it's his meals that impress me the most. More Here...
Girls More Likely To Experiment With Other Girls

Now that we have your attention, let me explain this post's title...

Thanks to television, we now know (sometimes in too-graphic, video detail) the sexual habits of people we'd rather not (ie. any man or woman on The Bachelor or Jersey Shore). But thanks to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics, we're now finding out about how often regular people like you and me get busy.

According to researchers, the results were somewhat surprising. You know you want to find out more...
"Welcome to America, Now Speak English!" (a rant about nationalism and a brief history lesson)

No wait. That's not right; this isn't England. I meant to say, "welcome to America, now speak Cherokee, Iroquois, Navajo, Sioux, Amurrrrican!"

People who bitch about other people speaking in different languages always make me chuckle, but they also irritate the shit out of me. They make me chuckle because of how ignorant and stupid they are, while they irritate the shit out of me because of how ignorant and stupid they are.

Yes, if you are one of these people, this post is mostly geared towards you. So lighten the fuck up, come down off your high horse, think about what you are saying, and learn to live and let live. More Here...
Male Contraception on the Horizon..You ready?

I was sitting around talking with my girlfriend, and we were having a discussion about all the different kinds of birth control that are out on the market, and how it can become at times a bit of a grueling task to find the right one for both us women and our bodies. “I wish it was the guys who had to take the birth control," I said to Brynn. In turn, she said, “I wonder...would they even want to take it when it does become available since it’s been the responsibility of the women for so long to be the one taking birth control?” I looked up from my pouring myself another glass of wine, and said “I’ll have to write about it, and get back to you on that”.

I’m sure you guys are thinking “Well, what about condoms? That’s our form of both control“. Sorry fellas let’s face it--condoms can break, and many of you don’t even wear them, and since vasectomies are permanent I don’t see guys lining up around the block for the procedure. So once again, it's left up to us women to be on some form of birth control. Women have had hormonal reversible contraceptive since the 60’s, and I feel that putting all the pressure on the female partner is hardly fair. However, a non-condom form of male contraceptive is already in development.More Here...

All Our Childhood Heroes Have Gone Metal!

Thanks to the advent of YouTube, and the crude video editing skills of several deranged people, our childhood heroes have undergone a transformation. You can now find a heavy metal version of just about everything on YouTube -- from the MacGuyver theme, all the way to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (as featured above).

Is it an improvement? Is it humorous, or just downright asinine? Probably a little from every category. But you can decide for yourselves. After the break, you'll see a few more examples of your favorite childhood heroes and stars gone completely metal. Rock on here...
iOS vs. Android: Is one really better than the other?

Mobile phones and other technology, like tablets, are some of the most popular products out there today. Consumers are always looking for the next best thing, whether that's a faster phone with a bigger screen, or a tablet that does more, has a better, more comfortable design, or any other number of variables. Yet despite the wide variety of phones (and pretty soon, tablets) on the market, it seems that the single biggest factor that matters to people is what software their device is running. Although the Blackberry is still popular, especially for businesspeople, the two major contenders in the market are Apple's iOS, and Google's Android.

But which one is truly better? Are they just two very different operating systems with separate appeal, or two different flavors of the same candy? More Here...
Do Men Want/Enjoy Sex During A Pregnancy?

Last night I was watching a show called "One Born Every Minute" on …never mind, the channel is not important…kind of embarrassing actually. But it's about; you guessed it, women giving birth. The only reason why I sat through it was to see the baby's father drop his cell phone on his new-born baby.
They showed this is in the commercial previewing the show and I just had to see it again. Who does this?! Good thing the baby was not hurt.

Am I wrong for laughing at this? Probably.
Anyway, the show wasn't too bad. Some of the father's faces were priceless upon seeing their wife spread eagle with their baby (and all sorts of juices) coming out.

My mind started roaming, like it usually does, and I started to wonder about couples who are pregnant...and their sex life.More Here...
Charlie Sheen Invades Twitter

Everyone's favorite tiger blooded actor who was born with Adonis DNA has finally joined Twitter. No, I'm not talking about Zac Effron.

I'm talking about Carlos Irwin Estevez, better known as Charlie Sheen to the non-warlocks of the world.

Not since Kanye West joined Twitter has the social media world been abuzz about what someone's next Tweet will be. So far, he hasn't disappointed his followers. More Here...
Apple Unveils The iPad 2

Yesterday the iPad 2 was introduced to the world by Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO . Me being the gadget freak I am, well, I will definitely be saving my pennies up to get one of these bad boys.

On March 11th it will be shipped out to stores, which will be beating out the shipping dates of RIM's first PlayBook, HP's first TouchPad, and of course WAY before any Windows tablets ship.

Since the first generation iPad hit the market in 2010, Apple has sold nearly 15 million which contributed $9.6 billion in revenue. That surpassed iPods and iMacs in net revenue. Not too shabby for a device that Apple started selling in April.More on the iPad 2 and its features here...
