21st November, 2008. 12:44 am. songs that kill the party

The evening is perfect. You've made your finger-lickin' herb dip, decked yourself out in your finest, and opened several bottles of killer Zin. Your entourage arrives -- things start kickin' -- and your "best party EVER" is in full swing! Now... just make sure you have the perfect playlist pumping so the evening's music is as flawless as every other detail. Until it's your own party you may not realize that a really bad song kills a good vibe -- and that's not easy to revive. Here are Foxy's votes for the ten worst buzzkill tunes of all time.


I'm Too Sexy by Right Said Fred This song's humor wore out long ago, and now it's just vulgar, cheesy, and so annoying. It's kind of become a really bad, hairy, cheap-cologne-wearing gigolo anthem.

All By Myself by Eric Carmen Music to make even the happiest person on earth sick with despair. There's no amount of nostalgia in the world that can make us yearn for this song -- even if our dog died... even if we lost our job... and especially if we're trying to party!

When I Grow Up by The Pussycat Dolls These girls are H-O-T. We get it. And if your party playlist was voted on looks alone, they'd be near the top. But this repetitive, hi-pitched, electro-pop track lacks the sexy vibe of "Don't Cha" and just leaves us wishing the Dolls would grow up and sing a little something else.
Endless Love by Lionel Richie & Diana Ross Just thinking about this gushy ballad makes us so happy the ‘80s are over! Even the divine Miss Ross can't save this duet from being maudlin.

Macarena by Los Del Rio This flash-in-the-pan phenom is our pick for the most annoying song of all time. Even if half your guests agree with us (and we think the will), cross this dance ditty permanently off your list.

Fergalicious by Fergie The funky Fergie stutters her way through this irritating tune, parts of which sound like a broken record, literally. She may have the best abs in the music 'biz, but do you and your friends really want to listen to her sing about herself for nearly five minutes?

I Kissed A Girl by Katy Perry Too loud. Too obvious. Just trying too darn hard. With its in-your-face content and dumbed-down lyrics, it comes off as a one-hit-wonder curiosity for the under-twenty set. The kind of tune you'd expect to hear playing at a teen-store at the mall, not a hip soiree. We like the taste of cherry chapstick too but...

My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion Your gathering will sink and crash like the legendary Titanic. Need we say more?

Don't Worry Be Happy by Bobby McFerrin Childish, perky pop -- upbeat to the point of being really really annoying. This is a song that makes you be happy that you're near the door.

The End by The Doors Weighing in at over 11 minutes long, this song will stop even the most raucous party in its tracks. The lyrics - "Father...I want to kill you" - are not quite the feelgood hit of the century.

Good thing to know when we want to end the party.

21st November, 2008. 12:37 am. 5 Reasons Why You Guys Are Still Single

5 Reasons Why You Guys Are Still Single
by ??????
Posted Mon, Nov 17, 2008, 1:23 pm PST Yahoo

Do you find yourself wondering why most of your buddies have steady dates, yet you can barely secure a first date, let alone a second (and, playing a regular game of Mahjong and Canasta with your grandparents and their friends doesn't count)? Guys, if so, it's time to ask yourself a few Foxy questions...

Do you... have a problem with eye contact? Even if you love everything about this other person, it won't matter, if you can't take your eyes off their body parts. They'll likely think you're out for one thing, or that you're just kind of creepy. Sure, they might be wearing something revealing, but that's no excuse to stare all night long. Get a grip and get comfortable with eye contact, which creates a much better bond.

Do you... eat like a caveman? Utensils are there for a reason -- so you can eat like a gentleman. Shoveling food into your mouth is not something you should subject your date to. Same goes for talking while chewing. Not only is it unpleasant to watch at a time when your job is to be easy on the eyes, it's a red flag that says you're a little short on self-awareness -- an important characteristic in a mate.

Do you... trim your toenails? Not that your date will necessarily see your toenails right away, but when they do end up eyeballing them, unkept toenails are a guaranteed huge turnoff. It means you don't take care of yourself, and valuing yourself is an important part of a healthy relationship. Plus, let's not forget the damage they can do to the other person's leg when you're snuggling up on the sofa watching movies.

Do you... order "everything on the side" at a restaurant? In other words, do you order like a girl? Please don't. Because if your date has to be tortured by, "I'll have the Cobb salad, but no cheese, avocado, or bacon, and dressing on the side, and the pasta, but no oil please, and extra light on the pinenuts," they may be forced to hide under the table or at least wonder what kind of demanding partner you could be. If you have dietary restrictions, do your best, just don't get into what will happen to your belly if you don't follow them.

Do you... assume you're going to strike out? The Secret said it once but we'll say it again: In a lot of ways, you manifest your own destiny. So, if you have lots of thoughts about being unlucky in love, you may be pushing people away in ways you may not even know. If you assume the worst of the world and yourself, spend a few minutes before your date making a mental list of why you're looking for a relationship and why you are an incredible a catch.

15th October, 2008. 9:04 pm. Nintendo DS version3

http://www.famitsu.com/game/news/1218552_1124.html

It is coming out Nov.1 in Japan and will not play GBA games.
It will have a digital camera and weigh less then the DS.
The DSi will also have a media player but it looks like it
will not play movies or those kinds of formats. It will use
a SD card.. or DS backwards. For me.. I like the bigger
screen but I really don't need a camera or a music player
or even the pre-loaded web browser.
I will keep my DS lite and see no reason for me to buy
the DSi. I LOVE MY GBA GAMES and I like playing my DS
games. I know there is a add on not licensed by Nintendo
but it will play music.

3rd October, 2008. 4:23 pm. Breast cancer awareness month

In honor to remember those who have lost their lives to cancer.
I wanted to help educate those people who might not of heard of
I.F.B. (Inflammatory Breast Cancer). It is a silent killer and
some women do not realize they have it because most doctors
over look it. I've posted some links.
I normally do not do this but I hope you send a email with
this link.
Thank you ^_^

2nd October, 2008. 6:33 pm. Destination Truth

On Wednesday 10/1 show the crew went to Aokigahara-Jukai in Japan. This area just at Mt.Fuji is nicknamed
"suicide woods" where 30 people kill themselves each year. The Destination Truth crew flew to investigate
the woods and they caught a ghostly figure raising from the forest floor along with a voice left on the
digital recorder. This is where I have a problem, the voice is a American sounding voice and not Japanese.
The voice in very plain English says "GET OUT" and I find it strange that it isn't in Japanese.
Also just finding someone who writes in kanji "oni" or "devil"on a tree doesn't make it a haunted forest.
I will admit it was a creepy forest and it made for a good story but it came across as kind of cheesy.
It just seems this place as well some other places in Japan has some kind of folklore behind it.

30th September, 2008. 12:14 pm. homeland security

Maximum PC article Sept. 08 article
"Kiss your Gear Goodbye"
In July, the Department of Homeland Security released two policies that among other things, allow U.S. customs agents to seize "any device capable of storing information in analog or digital form" - yes, your laptop, cellphone, flash drive, and iPod - for as long deem necessary. The polices are designed to allow U.S. agents sufficient time to analyze, translate, or decrypt information crossing a border in order to detect threats or illegal information.
The problem? Custom agents don't have to give probable cause or even "individual suspicion," when seizing your assets. Apparently the forth amendment doesn't apply here.
Still, we like the idea of loosing our hardware even less than people rooting through our private stuff. What's a geek to do? If possible, leave anything you would miss at home. Encryption is still a good idea, but it could just draw suspicion. Put your sensitive data on a disc and mail it to yourself, or leave it online and download it later. The internet knows no borders.

My comment:
On my recent trip with in the U.S. no one asked to see my PC, so I think it is only
international travel they check the PC, cellphone, and flash drive.
I guess it would be good to check with the airlines or homeland security website.

21st July, 2008. 4:22 pm. my day

After the ISS BBQ I ended up driving Todd back to his place and made the ferry. I got home and my mom was up to make sure I didn't get hit by any trees and drove on I-5 with out dying.
She went to sleep after that while I stayed awake a little whime longer.
When I woke up late in the morning, she was still sleeping and not thinking anything of it. I let her sleep being she has not been sleeping very well lately due to stree from her job.
I had not realized she had not been awake when I woke up because many times when I am awake she had been awake and gone back to sleep for nap.
When she woke up at 1:30pm she said that she was having a heart attack and had slept for 12hours. She took her blood pressure and it was high, so I said we should to see her doctor because it didn't seem so serious.
I took her in and it was due to her drinking juice and upset her diabeties. She is fine now and feels dumb for drinking juice and up setting her blood sugar.
I find all ironic because on my drive to her doctor she was talking about her will and what
would happen when she dies.. about me getting the house and what I would do.
Just after talking to Amber and family.. this happens to me.
maybe its sign to me

11th July, 2008. 3:43 pm. Funny survey

Go to www.urbandictionary.com and type in your answer to each question in the search box.



What is your name?
MG

A British motoring company, now run by BMW (And merged with another comapny, Rover.) It's 50's and 60's heyday saw it dominate the world sportscar market, along with the Jaguar XK120, prompting the United States to start making sportcars, which GM did with the corvette.




A total Studgod, masterful in every way. Great King and Ruler, loved by women and adored by children, envied by men for being so awesome and wealthy and having a big unit and balls of steel.




I hope when I grow up I can be a MG.



They all bowed down to his great MGness and kissed his butt.



The baseball star was a real MG.



The women dream of being with MG.



The football player was trying to become a MG.



This spins off the word "goth" (as in the fake Goth not the true Barbarian Goth). These are the poser ones who always shop at Hot Topic (thus the name "mall") and think they are "weird" or "different" because they dress in black and listen to blaring loud music.



It is very easy to spot these people. Look for the fresh new colors of black that appear straight from the factory line...These same people also are also VERY immature and childish...An example of their typical attitude revolves around saying the obvious and talking (never trying) suicide....They also cut themselves a lot claiming that it "feels good"...Even the most fucked up person knows when something hurts, and a blade is no exception. All forms of self-mutilation are simply for attention.


"Look at the MG's in Hot Topic"

Mongolian Grill, A popular Restaurant serving usually Asian foods that are at first raw, and then selected and put together by the customer and then is obtained by the chef to cook it for you.


"Dude we should hit the freaken MG"
"I wish i had eleven dollars for the MG"
"My Ass got pwned by the MG this morning"

you can Spell It
man who fixes computers...and by fixes computers, i actually mean have sex with "clients"

Favorite food
sushi
A Japanese dish made with a lump of rice and sweetened vinegar wrapped around a vegetable slice, or a fish slice. Often there is a piece of seaweed wrapped around the entire thing, but not always. Also, the vegetable or piece of fish can be on top of the rice with the seaweed wrapped around vertically.
