What I got for Christmas - A Butt whoppin !!

A traditional holiday fist-fight Dec. 27 - Peruvians dance and fight at a traditional festival designed to wipe the slate clean of personal problems. It starts with dancing and a religious processions on Christmas Day. But instead of exchanging gifts participants then trade blows. Lindsay Claiborn reports.

Wasting your time twirling pen??

When I was growing up, all I ever heard was - “work hard, don’t waste your time on trivial things and you will be a success”…. As a nation we here our American education system is shot and that the Japanese have students who have no summers off and work long school days. This is why America is falling behind…….. Now I find out that video games could have made me a millionaire. That silly computer “nerdy” tech stuff could have made me the next bill gates. I also know that the Japanese culture plays more video games, online fantasy games and spends a lot of time trivial things - like perfecting the “art “ of twirling pens in their hands. I guess we were wrong…… Maybe I’ve learned one thing over the years of my life - I will never tell my children that something it too trivial or useless. It just may be the next big thing and they will be the next bill gates or Myspace, or who knows - millionaire champion pen twirler…………………

Tis the season to be teasered?

Don't get me wrong but this season seems to be a bit more rough on me than previouse one's. I personally witness a store clerk get malled as he tried to bring in some Wii nintendo units to place on the shelf. When some one is almost trampled becuase a couple of parents need that oh so wanted gift - maybe everyone should carry a stun gun? But give me a break - even if the woman in the video below was irate and a bit out of control [ maybe - hard to tell on video ] - I still don't believe that she should have been stunned. I'm starting to think this is getting out of control here. I always get that stupid alarm ring from the security buzzered becuase the register girl didn't decoded it right - am I going to get tased one day becuase that alarm went off and a security guard will find it easier to tase me than to confront me?
