What is up with thumb sucking adults? I've seen teenagers with a pacifier in his/her mouth or sucking their thumb. Today we passed this lady in her car sucking her thumb while driving.
I'm not here to make fun of anyone but I just want to know why they do it? I've been reading up on it and apparently it's all psychological. But there are problems associated with thumb sucking. Such as your teeth grow so that your thumb can stay in your mouth and your tongue gets this white coating on it. Your thumb also can get sores on them where the teeth are biting down on them as well as your skin becomes red and infected because of the constant moisture from the inside of your mouth.
Not only that but your fingers are digging in your purse or pocket, intermingling with objects outside of the mouth such as poles, door handles, money... etc.
It's a disgusting habit and these adults need to grow up and stop sucking their thumbs and teenagers especially, it doesn't look cool to either be sucking your thumb or have a pacifier on a necklace around your neck. Come on, seriously, pick up a different habit because you look like you belong in a psycho ward. It's hard to look like a thug with a pacifier in your mouth. If you come up to me with your jeans around your knees showing me your boxers with that street thug strut, don't expect me to take you seriously when you have a pacifier or your thumb in your mouth.

Fly Problem
I don't know what it is about summer but all of a sudden there are fly's all over the kitchen window above the sink. It's like that every year at this time. When I go to take the dog out in the back yard I usually open the back door then we walk to the back gate and I let her out then I go back into the kitchen and close the door. But even if I'm not opening the door they come in through the front door when we answer the door or when we are coming or going.
So about a week ago I was sitting in my room watching tv and the saying "you catch more fly's with Honey than you do with Vinegar" came into my head. I wasn't thinking about the fly's so I don't know where that came from but it was like all of a sudden a light bulb turned on above my head.
I went into the kitchen and we had these honey packets from KFC from awhile ago that we never used, yes I'm the guy who saves ketchup packets and all the other "packets" lol. Anyway, I put some on a napkin (yes, from Taco Bell lol) and put it on the ledge above the kitchen sink and left it. Well, after a few days the honey had soaked into the napkin so you couldn't even tell it had any honey on it, it just looked wet.
I threw the honey napkin away like 2 days ago and cleaned the honey off the tiles. During the entire time I had that honey sitting there it was like all the fly's had disappeared from existance. They were gone. None of them took the bait and landed on the honey and got stuck but they just disappeared. That's why I removed the honey but it's been 2 days, the fly's are back in full force. So, I went to look for more honey packets to put on a little plate but we didn't have any more, I'd used the last 2 but we did have some syrup.
Yes, I know what you are going to say, ants... well, they didn't come when the honey was there so hopefully they won't show up for the syrup lol. But since I put the syrup out about maybe 10 minutes ago all the fly's are gone again. It's almost as if they were offended by it or something lol.
Oh speaking of fly's lol have you heard on the news about Obama killing a fly during an interview and then PETA came out against him saying he murdered an innocent fly on TV lol. OMG hilarious. They said he should've used this thing called Katcha Bug which is a stick with a little pyramid looking dome that you catch the fly in then set it free outside lol. Ok whatever you say PETA. I believe that dogs, cats, birds, elephants, lions, tigers and bears oh my all have souls but I mean come on, who freakin cares about a house fly whose life cycle is only 15-25 days anyway. Who cares, KILL EM!

Star Struck or Struck by too many stars
This guy (left) named Rouslan Toumaniantz tattooed 56 stars on this girls (also left duh) face after she asked for stars to be tattooed to her face. Here is a quote:"Toumaniantz claimed that Vlaeminck agreed to have the tattoos done: “Kimberley agreed to everything, she was very happy with my work. I have a witness who saw everything.”
Now she says that she is ugly, disfigured and can't even go out anymore, not even to work.
By the way, she fell asleep during this procedure. She fell asleep. How the heck do you fall asleep while someone is putting needles on your skin especially on your face? The only way someone is going to fall asleep and endure this much pain is if you have numbed your pain with some kind of drug or alcohol. That is why it is illegal to tattoo someone while they are intoxicated because they can't be responsible for the tattoo they are about to ask for because they might have been influenced to get it and they don't remember.
Here is another quote:
He said that it was only when Kimberley’s dad saw his daughter that she changed her mind.
But the Franco-Russian body artist has now offered to meet the cost of a laser operation.
Belgian newspaper ‘7s7’ quoted him as saying: “It will cost around €3,000, but I’ll pay for it. I’m not a criminal and I don’t want to start a fight with anyone.”
Toumaniantz, whose own face is full of piercings and covered in tattoos, said that he has learnt from the incident: “That was the first time that I’ve tattooed a customer’s face. I won’t do it again without written permission.”
The amount of money that she will have to pay to have the stars removed is $13,000 (converted to US dollars - according to fox news) and he has agreed to pay for half of it. If he has a witness stating that she was happy with it and she asked for it then I don't see why he should have to pay a dime. But considering it was on the face and she wasn't covered like he is with tattoos then he should've had her written consent first.

BikeCam Video
Here is that video on YouTube. Yesterday I inserted it into my previous post but I figured it deserved it's own post so here it is. Note that it's better to watch the video through YouTube because you can comment, rate and subscribe to my channel hehe.

Bike Cam Vid Done
I got my bike cam video on the computer without issue (YES!). I found 3 good songs to put in the video and used my Adobe Soundbooth to mix them like a DJ would lol. I added the song then sped up the 20 minute video to 8 1/2 minutes so it fits with the songs. It's all ready to go, I just need to get it on YouTube.
I was a bit disappointed that the video was shaking so much, I mean from side to side because of the handlebars but when you are riding a bike you can't keep it from doing that lol. It is physically impossible to get the video to be still constantly the entire time. Especially when it's mounted to the handlebars. If it were mounted on my helmet then perhaps that would be different but on the other hand every time I move my head up or down or left or right or behind me, the video moves too so it sees everything I look at which would be way more annoying lol.

Bike Cam Video
I went back on the bike trail today with my camcorder hooked up to my mount that I made and when I came home I immediately hooked the camcorder up to the computer and it didn't fail the import, it failed on Saturday morning. I'm still confused as to why it did that but that's ok because watching the video showed me how much I need to stop moving the bike from left to right so much when video taping lol.
It's always a learning experience right?
So anyway, now that I have it on the computer I can make it go fast and add some music to it. It's a 20 minute video but I'm going to speed that up so it fits about 2 or 3 songs so hopefully about 8 or 9 minutes. I don't want to bore people too much but at the same time I don't want it to go so fast that you can't see what's happening you know lol.
So, I'm going to be working on that for awhile. I can't upload it to YouTube until I get some money because this program that I use which is the best program, Pinnacle VideoSpin. It's a free program with conditions. You get I think 2 weeks free use out of it then after that you have to pay $15 for the codec, otherwise you won't even be able to import your video into the software. I've tried other programs like windows movie maker, I also bought Adobe Premiere Elements 3 and those 2 programs won't let you make your movie for YouTube to be able to have it in widescreen. Your video ends up having the bars on top and bottom but also on the right and left. That's no good.
So, until I get the codec for it when I get money then I will upload that video. I'm also going to take the opportunity to do some other videos while I'm at it of some video games then just do them all on the same day.
