Help Save the Everglades Today!


Imagine that. Signing a quick petition online to reduce the urban sprawl that is hurting the Everglades.

The Everglades is a 5,000 year old geologic and ecological formation that is the home of most of South Florida's wildlife. It also functions as a gigantic filter that cleans up our lakes, rivers, and provides clean water. Have you ever heard of Zephyrhills? Now you know where the water comes from. The Everglades is part of the water system that includes the Okeechobee river where most of the water we drink comes from in South Floria.

You can Sign This Petition and make a statement. You can do something important today.

$100 Kobe Beef Cheesesteak

I'm really not sure if this is delicious, gross, or just wrong. I'm not even sure how I found this video but I couldn't resist sharing it. They've taken super rare and expensive kobe beef, maine lobster, and truffle shavings to make what they call the perfect cheese steak sandwich and it goes for $100.





Would you eat this? It sounds interesting but nevermind what it's made out of. What about paying $100 for a cheese steak?

Avicultural Curse


Jeez. It's not even 9am yet and oddities have begun. This morning while driving to work I was the murderer of a brown crow. I was driving south on 142 ave and I saw the bird swoop in front of my car and for a split second it hovered in front of me. It stared me in the eye and suddenly, as if it were tired, it gave up flying and it thudded against my windshield. I can vividly see it in my mind's eye. I looked back but there was no trace of the brown swooper. How freaking weird.

Thought that was weird? I've single-handedly killed about 4 birds while driving (that I can remember). What does this mean? Is this the normal frequency for bird vehicular homicide??

Fungi killing ants, bad dreams, and my balance going shallow...



I woke up in the middle of the night after a bad dream. I'm not sure I want to discuss it here. Basically it involved one of my family members getting hurt. That kind of dream is no fun and I can't get to bed since.

I noticed I had a text from my bank with an alert that my balance was below a specified amount I had once specified. So i went online to check it out. Then I logged into my gmail and found that my best friend had sent me this email. I saw the video and it spooked me out. The direction makes it very dark. So alongsie my dream, my balance, and being awake at 4:57am, this is kinda weird.

The Viagra from Nicaragua

My best friend is Nicaraguan and he decided to visit his dad whom he hadn't seen in many many years. Now that he's a grown man I guess his dad wanted to show him what being a man was all about. I leave this to you the viewer... :D

Woman Saves Lion then...

Apparently some woman found a lion hurt and on it's way to imminent death. She took the kitty home and restored it's health. When the lion's health improved enough, she called the zoo and they took it in. This is the lion's reaction after seeing the woman again...

Dolphin Play Bubble Rings


I don't even know what to say here. I can't comprehend this. However, I believe it to be real. Just thought I'd share with you all.
