I know this falls under the category of something I don't like to talk about but this is just something that has been bothering me for such a long time.
Why do people believe in something that has never been scientifically proven but yet they deny something that has been scientifically proven?
The people in the middle east deny the holocaust yet there are pictures, it's in the history books.
Some people deny the dinosaurs because of their religious beliefs. Hello! Dinosaurs have been dug up. They aren't Styrofoam bones you know, they are real bones. They weren't faked. Some people think they were faked but what would that prove? Science has proven that the earth was hot and had to cool did it not? I'm not an expert but I have seen a few documentaries on the Discovery channel about the big bang theory (no, not the TV show although I do like that one hehe). But just because the dinosaurs were not in the bible doesn't mean they never existed.
Some people deny the existence of ghosts. There is indeed scientific proof of the existence of the afterlife. I watch Ghost Hunters every Wednesday on Sci-Fi channel and they have absolutely caught voices of children, voices of confederate soldiers, voices in other languages (GHI) plus there have been images from the thermo-cam that shows heat.
Speaking of which, I was sitting in my desk chair and Chip was laying in my bed and he asked if our cat jumped on the bed and I looked and said no, she's out on the patio. Then I said did you feel like a cat jumped up on the bed and is walking around and he said yes. His eyes were closed. I've felt that so many times. I've even blogged about our ghost cats.
Yet even though all these things have been proven, the religious people whether they are Muslims (who deny the holocaust) or born again Christians (who deny dinosaurs and ghosts) absolutely will not believe in them yet they believe in a god that they have never laid eyes upon or have never had any scientific proof of "it's" existence. How can you deny something that is proven yet worship and swear by something that has never been proven? I don't understand where the logic is in that.
There has been discussion about how you can't see god but you know he's there. You can't see the air but you know it's there. You can't see space but you know it's there. Uh, actually, yes you can. That again has been proven. You absolutely can see space through telescopes. You can see the stars, planets, galaxies. That's another thing, people absolutely deny that aliens from other planets might exist. Are people that arrogant to think that of all the galaxies and of all the planets in those galaxies that we are the only living breathing thinking beings out there?
I believe in ghosts, dinosaurs, the holocaust and aliens. I'm sorry if that upsets people but that's the truth.

Dumbing Down in Bakersfield
Ok so I'm at the corner market buying eggs and a loaf of bread. I go to the counter and there are 2 women standing in front of the counter purchasing their groceries, I'm on their right and there is a woman on their left. The woman on the left asks "ok how much is 2 plus 6?" and the woman on the right says "um... 12?"
Excuse me? 12? Is that your final answer? I seem to recall covering this in elementary school and although I don't remember everything from when I was in school, I definitely remember how to count and the correct response is 8. But my question is, why are you asking how much 2+6 is in the first place? It's a no brainer. It's an automatic answer in your own head. Sigh.

Gothic Chess Set
I mentioned the other day that there is this website which sells molds for building model castles. Well, I've been obsessed with looking at all the cool projects that they have to make and I came across one that is a Gothic Chess Set.
This is the project that would probably cost a couple of hundred dollars but in my opinion is well worth the cost. Now I personally don't play chess but I think it would still be an awesome thing to have. Especially if you are Gomez Addams lol.
Here is the page for the Gothic Chess Set:
http://www.castlemolds.com/chess/chess.html
They warn you that it is a monster of a project. Yeah it is. I'm sure it would take forever to make and it is going to cost a lot of money and a LOT of time too. But like I said, well worth the cost, effort and time. The chess pieces are sold from another website and each individual piece are about $7 and the pawns have 4 pieces and they are about $14 and of course you need 4 sets of pawns.
I would like to start buying the parts gradually over time and then just set them all aside until I have everything then I can start working on it maybe in 2012 lol.

Trantasia
We just watched this show on Showtime called Trantasia which is a beauty pageant. But unlike Miss America, it's with transsexuals. The contest was the "Worlds Most Beautiful Transsexual Pageant" and it was from 2006.
I watched it because I thought it was interesting because I am a part of the gay community and so I wanted to watch it. But I found it interesting how these people live their lives as a female whether it be pre-op or post-op.
This one person said, and this really pissed me off too, "my husband of 7 years and I performed homosexual acts" and something to the effect of "I don't have anything against gay people but some day they are going to have to answer for their sins" or something. Uh, hello! You are gay! Don't kid yourself honey, you are a homosexual with tits. Whether you have a penis or a mutilated penis turned into a fake vagina, you are still a dude.
I understand that men who feel like they are really women need to have the surgeries and stuff and I don't have anything against that but I do have a problem when they turn against their own people.
This was supposed to be the "World's Most Beautiful Transsexuals" but most of them looked like crazy drag queens ready to do a show and so naturally they didn't win. The final 8 were picked because they were the most believable looking women. The rest were not picked because they still looked like dudes in dresses with tits.
Naturally the ones who lost were saying that it was rigged and they claimed sabotage and one of the African American ones claimed that racism is still alive lol. Hon, it's not racism, it's not sabotage and nothing was rigged. First of all the one who claimed sabotage looked like the biggest drag queen of the millennium. Don't kid yourself, if anyone sabotaged you, it was you lol.
The winner was the most believable looking one and she deserves her crown and lol title. To the rest of them... dude, what a drag.

Build Your Own Castle
Have you ever wanted to build a castle but didn't know how? I was doing a search on the internet for stained glass window patterns because with my new Versa-Tool I can solder and it says you can make stained glass windows. I was thinking a regular piece of glass, maybe like from a picture frame and maybe Plexiglas or something. Put it in a frame then make shapes with wire or something and solder it to the glass then use that gel paint to add in the colors and texture. Viola you got stained glass.
But I found this instead. It's a website that has these molds you can buy or they teach you how to make your own molds. You buy or make the molds then you pour either plaster of paris (which is cheap but chips easily) or the more recommended dental stone into the molds and you let it dry and it pops right out of the rubbery molds. Then once you have all of your (let's just say) bricks hardened and out of the molds, just bake it and it's all dry and ready to build your castle.
They have detailed instructions on how to do everything like putting the bricks together to form a building and how to glue it all in place and how to paint it all with 3 different colors so it looks authentic. There are videos too.
It's not just castles, it's also regular houses and space ships too. It's really cool. If this is your hobby, like building little houses for your train sets and stuff (like Alec Baldwin in Beetlejuice) then you'll love this website. You can just use your own imagination and build whatever you want.
Their website addresses are: www.hirstarts.com and www.castlemolds.com
The molds are not that bad in price if you think about the time it takes this guy to make the molds and the cost of the materials for the molds plus the very fact that he took the time and talent to make all the items that you make from these molds you are saving a lot by buying them from him. I'm really thinking about buying a mold here and there as I get money for it. Then just make tons of stuff and put them in buckets as if they are Lego's so when I'm ready to make something I have them all ready made.

KFC Dollar Menu
Talk about your false advertising. I've been seeing these commercials on TV for the KFC dollar menu where these 2 guys are in the car and the driver is all "you have a dollar menu?" then he looks back to the people in their cars behind them yelling "They have a dollar menu" while the passenger is laughing.
Then there is the commercial with the "spy" asking if they have the secret recipe and asking how much and the guy inside says a dollar.
They show all these things as being a dollar. Well, we were at the KFC today and their dollar menu had the following products. KFC Snackers in many different flavors, original, crispy, honey BBQ and one other which I can't remember. Then they had 2 biscuits for $1 and 2 pies for $1 and 3 cookies for $1. That's it.
They had several other items for $1.49 and $2.49 but that's hardly a dollar. Why are things that are a buck and a half or two bucks and a half on the one buck menu? That's false advertising.
And speaking of false advertising. We bought 4 KFC snackers, 2 original for Chip and 2 crispy for me. They were so tiny and we couldn't tell which were original and which were crispy. But they were so small, I said to Chip we would've been better off going to McDonald's getting the Chicken sandwiches from their dollar menu because they were twice as big as the KFC snackers.
My opinion, go to McDonald's, you get more bang for your buck buck buck. Pun intended.
