Old New Kids go pink

Even twenty years later my heart still skips a beat when I see these five guys. Any girl that was a child of the eighties know who this is and is probably having fond memories of sleep overs and collecting New Kids On The Block memorabilia. Joey was my personal favorite, but that is a blog for another time. Girls of this generation that loved NSYNC need to pay respect to the founders of boy pop groups. A pop group that should have stopped in 1990!
While I may not enjoy singing along to "step by step(ohhhh baby)" anymore, I am a big supporter of breast cancer research and finding a cure. Even if they are has-bens, they are trying to get a message out, and hopefully more than their five fans will listen. October is national breast cancer month, so go pink, and support a great cause.

$1.75 Can Go Farther Than You Think: Woman Buys House With Loose Change

eBay has been the home to auction for anything from roller skates to motorcycles, and recently a woman bought this abandoned house for a whole $1.75. Who would have thought. When I first saw this picture, I was hit by the wear and tear this house must have been through over the years, but surely a home is worth more than a stick of gum right? Apparently Joanne Smith of Chicago topped all eight bids that preceded her on the online auction. Of course the original article describes that this house on top of being abandoned, and maybe inhabitable, is also in a large amount of debt: $850 is owed in back taxes and yard maintenance. Perhaps Smith didn't know what she was getting herself into. The house is located in Saginaw, a town that's been hard hit financially through the last couple of years. Smith says she has no plans to live in or keep the house, instead she intends on selling the house herself. Recently appraised at no more than the cost of a soda, it appears Smith has her work cut out for her.



Holy Cow

By looking at this photo you can tell this is a mugshot. It's a Middleport woman who was arrested on Monday in Ohio. Of course it's not a normal mug shot, the woman is wearing a cow suit. The woman caused some disturbances by supposedly chasing children and causing traffic problems on a couple of streets. She also urinated on a front porch and was verbally abusive to the arresting police officers.
When I first saw the photo I kind of felt bad, even though it was funny to look at. I thought to myself that she must of been on something or has mental problems. It stated in the original article that she smelled like alcohol when being transported to jail. If you read the article there are more details on what happened. I hope she can get some help to avoid these embarrassing situations. I don't think I would've believed this story if I didn't read it.

What has happened now??

This photo could have many different explanations, at first I thought maybe someone is upset that the stocks are going down or something happened to upset them personally. When in reality this photo is a concerned citizen wondering what the United States is going to do without the financial bill.
This photo shows the disappointment of the people of the United States when the House of Representatives rejected the $700 billion plan to bail the US out financially. People want it to be put up for another vote, but will that help? If the House of Representatives rejected it once, what chance does it have of being passed a second time.
I wonder what is going to happen to the United States way of living because of our financial problem... It might mean the people having to cut back on buying, loss of jobs, or the Bush administration is going to have to look for another way to fix this problem if the bill isn't going to be passed.
What are your thoughts about the United States financial problem?

To infinity and beyond what?

The way things are today, this photo says that there is actually more going on out there other than politics, failing markets and failed financial plans; people flying. But really what's going on here? Obviously a man is flying some sort of craft, does this have to do with alternative vehicle ideas? Maybe someday we'll all be flying around, no more harmful exhaust fumes or annoying traffic jams, we just pick up our set of wings and fly away. All jokes aside, it's good to see that even as bad as things are, people are still out there having fun and exploring their interests what ever they are. What do you think? What would you be doing if you had the time and money to do what you wanted...?
