day

September 11

Today is September 11th. A day that is notable in history. What does this day mean? Is it some sort of holy day. There is much to be written about this day and there is much that has been written about this day. Should everyone stay at home from work and observe this day, and for what reason. Today is September 11 around the world. A day to be aware of. Is this day to be found in prophecy somewhere?

Peta

Peta Rocks. Peta, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals somehow ended up as one of my MySpace top eight friends. To me, I guess they represent everything environmental and saving the world. They seek to save the animals from the humans maybe. I have always read about PETA over the years and have seen them at events on television. They are an animal rights organization and are anti fur and anti meat and advocate for the humane treatment of animals. It’s great they speak for the animals as I have not run across an animal that can speak for itself yet. And this time Peta is at it again. Peta is in today’s am New York newspaper. There was a furor over fur. PETA was protesting a fashion show as part of this weeks fashion events. They were out in full force pushing an animal cruelty free fashion agenda. PETA’s slogan is “Animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or use for entertainment.” Their campaigns rock.

Hey bloggers. Now here are some interesting statistics about the bloggersphere and the Internet. I was always wondering what it’s like out there in the Internet bloggerworld, what the numbers were actually like. And when I posted the Blog World Expo event the other day, I saw exactly that, what the numbers are like in the blogosphere. Below are the numbers that the Blog World Expo has on their website. The numbers are mind boggling to me and boy does that give me an interesting perspective into the blogosphere of the bloggerworld.

Debate This Topic

Now this is a really interesting political discussion forum. Argue With Everyone seems to be doing just that. Their discussion forum is covering every political and debatable topic under the sun and their forum members are debating every political and debatable topic under the sun. They cover news and current events, the 2008 election, the Middle East, the courts, U.S. domestic policy, gun control. abortion, economics, religion and philosophy, education, gay issues, global warming, health care, hurricane’s, immigration, September 11th, terrorism, war in Iraq, and even sports. They are an open free speech zone and there is no political topic untouched at their site. They are all debates and discussion all the time. This is a sponsored post.

Who is Che Guevara

Who is Che Guevara. The photo that accompanies this posting is to be found everywhere today. He is a popular political figure and I see his images on t shirts everywhere and I think the image of him means revolution. It’s almost as if he was a cool communist figure that everyone who wears his t shirts wants to be or is implying to wanna be like him and his ideologies. And those military army fatigue combat boots and gear he wore were kind of cool, it reminds me of the H & M fashions of today somehow. And what did, what does he represent. What is the story of his life and his ideologies. Was he for peace and justice and how. Was he a student, rebel, revolutionary, diplomat, communist, socialist, guerrilla and a legend. And the books, films and stories written about him are endless. Long Live The Revolution. And what does this have to do with a No Police State?

Blog World Expo

Hey Bloggers, I’ve been receiving these email announcements about a big blogging event. This must be an interesting blogging conference taking place in Las Vegas, Nevada. It’s the first conference and tradeshow of this kind to ever take place, now that’s interesting. The Blog World Expo , November 8-9, 2007 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. A blog world and new media expo. A blogger convention. How exciting! I wonder who are the keynote speakers and who will be there in the bloggerworld and who will be presenting and what could possibly be on the program schedule of events taking place and who and what are the name and subjects of the panels, seminars and presentations. Will there be a how to blog to riches display, or a how to get a Google page rank of 100 overnight table set up there? Will someone be offering how to distress from your blogaholic addiction massages also. And will everyone be walking around with a laptop to blog about this conference every nanosecond as it is taking place. If you happen to be in Vegas, this event looks worth checking out. It sounds so interesting that I want to visit their website to read about it now. And Vegas rocks. There is no place like Vegas.

Review My Restaurants

A website where you can review your favorite restaurants and share your reviews with others, I think I’ve read about something like that. At Trusted Places, you can now review your favorite london restaurants in London and all around London. The reviews are posted by real people at real places. Their site has reviews of the day and this weeks top places. It sounds like you can find a lot of great places to eat or not eat at TrustedPlaces website. This is a sponsored post.

jazz, music

Miles Davis

I ran across a friends book about Miles Davis, the legendary jazz musician the other day. It seems like Miles Davis is the icon of the jazz scene because a lot of musicians usually have some record, album, book or poster of his around. And reading this book “Miles” The Autobiography, one would think his lifestyle was more dramatic and interesting than his music. In this book he speaks frankly in black and white about his life and holds nothing back. He seemed to be very outspoken almost political like a preacher in his speech. And I have come across other Jazz icons biographies and movies also such as Charlie Parker, and their lives seem to have been sex, drugs, and Rock N’ Roll as one would never know these jazz icons and others on the jazz scene were former junkies in their lifetime unless you read the book or watch the movie to learn the history of these figures and the jazz scene around them in their time. And the legend lives on. Long Live Jazz.
