| So in light of my upcoming trip to Colorado, where I plan to do alot of hiking, I thought I'd see what good ol' Wikipedia had to say about it. I was reading it, and at the bottom they have a list of different kinds of hiking, like backpacking, thru-hiking, naked hiking, etc... Wait, NAKED HIKING?!?!
Seriously, there is a group of people out there, who aren't necessarily from nudist colonies, that enjoy getting back to nature in multiple ways. I'm all about doing whatever floats your boat, but I'd be pretty concerned with sunburn, those little weed seeds that stick to you, thorns, ticks, and mosquito bites having that much access to my daily special. But I guess if cavemen could do it, then so can we.
Here's the link to the page, but it's NSFW because of some full-frontal-hippie-nudity.

| I used to watch this cartoon non-freaking-stop when I was a kid. I think it's the best one ever, way better than that crap they have out now.
You just can't beat Whimpy chasing the duck, or Sinbad's song (best song ever written), or the song the two-headed giant sings when they get ahold of Popeye, or Popeye's little one-liners.

| Here, watch this. I knew they did maintenance on high-voltage power lines with helicopters, but I never knew how they did it exaclty...
Anyways, I think this is pretty awesome, and in the end isn't that all that really matters?

| Well, it's official, CNN has lost all credibility as a professional news source.
Here's the series of their biggest stories in the past couple months:
Anna Nicole is dead => Why did A.N. die? => Who gets A.N.'s body? => A.N. is still dead => She's going to the Bahama => Dom Imus said a quasi-racist thing => Al Sharpten and Jesse Jackson are pissed => "Nappy Haired Ho's is a bad thing to say" => Surprise surprise, Anna Nicole OD'd => Public news outlets should watch their language and not say things like "nappy haired hos" => nappy haired hos => happy haired hos => Who Anna Nicole's baby daddy? => Imus got fired, Sharpten and Jackson still pissed => That one guy is Anna Nicole's baby daddy => Now Condolessa Rice says Imus is a jackass => Dick Cheney's plane hit a bird, the bird died, Cheney is ok => Remember Anna Nicole Smith? Yeah, still dead => Anna Nicole had a diary, who gets the diary?
Seriously, WTF CNN? How did that whole war in Iraq thing turn out? Did we win? Is Bush still president?
And then, here's one of the headlines on their website today: "Schwarzenegger pimps green machine" Yup, "pimps" right there on the main page. I'm no journalism major, but I'm pretty sure that the only less professional way of saying a governor is pimping out energy efficent technology is to say "Big pimp daddy Schwarzenegga hoars out that nappy headed ho called green technology."

That is exactly how I feel about the whole 'nappy headed ho's' comment and the resulting circus.
This comment pretty much sums up why it's so damn stupid for everyone to get all pissed off at some crusty old white guy for saying what he did:
". . . everybody knows “nappy-headed ho’s” is a compliment compared
to what we allow black rap artists to say about black women on a daily
basis. . . We don’t respect ourselves right now. If we did, we wouldn’t call each
other the N-word. If we did, we wouldn’t let people with prison values
define who we are in music and videos. If we did, we wouldn’t call
black women bitches and hos and abandon them when they have our babies."
Kind of reminds me of being the only white person working at Popeye's and having to give the white opinion to all my black co-workers.
