songs that kill the party

Fri, 21 Nov 2008 08:46:01 GMT

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.

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.

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.

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 ^_^

Destination Truth

Fri, 03 Oct 2008 01:47:03 GMT

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.

homeland security

Tue, 30 Sep 2008 19:41:44 GMT

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.

my day

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 23:40:43 GMT

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

Funny survey

Fri, 11 Jul 2008 22:43:53 GMT

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.

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.

Sun, 22 Jun 2008 23:45:19 GMT

By April Masini
Special to Yahoo! Personals
Updated: Jun 20, 2008

Are you a nice guy who has always wondered why the cocky guy -- the one who barely appears interested in the girl -- is usually the one who gets the girl?
Have you suffered from hearing the words, "You're a really nice guy, but I only like you as a friend," from a woman who you would do (or may, in fact, have already done) just about anything and everything for -- only to turn around and watch her date (or even chase) a guy who treats her like she's nothing special? And are you stumped wondering why she would date a guy who treats her like that when she could have you who would treat her like a princess and give her everything she wants? Well, you better brace yourself because I'm going to tell you a couple of secrets that you might not want to hear.
First, "nice" equates with boring and predictable. Look up "nice" in the dictionary and you find: pleasant; agreeable; satisfactory. In other words, average -- not exceptional, not exciting, and not sexy.I'll bet you've never heard a woman say she didn't want to date a guy because he was too confident, too passionate, or too exciting -- have you? But, I'll bet you have heard women say things like, "He's such a nice guy. He's so sweet and he's always there for me, but I only like him as a friend." Or, "He's such a good guy -- kind, thoughtful, generous, honest, loyal -- but there's no chemistry. He just doesn't turn me on." Sadly, I hear it all the time. The fact is, Mr. Nice Guy, you cannot bore a woman into feeling attracted to you or into wanting to date you. And as obvious as that sounds, if you are one of those guys I described that is exactly what you are trying to do. And it won't work.
Please understand that I am not suggesting that you mistreat women or disrespect them in any way.
What I suggesting is that you value and respect yourself more.
To illustrate what I mean: The answer to the question, "Why does the guy who doesn't appear to care as much about the girl get the girl?" is simple: The nice guy cares too much, too soon. He has made the woman too important and too valuable and it shows in everything he says and does. He is too available, too eager to please, too accommodating, and he gives too much -- all without getting anything in return. By doing so, he has made himself appear desperate, insecure, needy of this woman's attention, affection, and approval -- and he has stripped himself of any value in her eyes. After all, if he's already doing and giving everything, without her doing or giving anything - why would she value him? She won't. She is not going to value him any more than he values himself. What she is going to do is look for someone else, someone who she perceives as being more worthy, more confident, and more valuable.
It works like this:
Once you need something, or you want it too badly, you forfeit your strength and lose all power of negotiation.
Once you need something, or you want it too badly, you forfeit your strength and lose all power of negotiation. You are in a position of weakness and you are perceived as weak. Someone (or something) else is in control of you, the situation, and it's outcome. Men in this situation appear to be anything but confident, strong, and exciting. More, they are perceived as being unworthy and as lacking value.
Translation: Things that are easily acquired, obtained, or maintained, without any effort or sacrifice, lack value... it's human nature.
The secret to why the cocky guy wins with women, over the nice guy, is that he is perceived as being a stronger, more confident guy with more value. How? He never invests everything -- his entire being, ego, and self-worth in what one woman's response or reaction to him is. He doesn't gush with compliments; he isn't always available; he doesn't give too much; and he knows he isn't going to die if a woman says "no" to him. More, his attitude is, yeah, I'd like to go out with you, but if I can't, that's OK -- I'm a busy guy, with exciting things going on, and lots of other options.

Killer app: Game consoles contain hazardous chemicals

Fri, 23 May 2008 20:25:12 GMT

Don't eat your Xbox, says Greenpeace
By Ben Silverman
The next casualty in the console war might be you.

In their new 'Playing Dirty' report, environmental organization Greenpeace found that all three home video game consoles - Sony's PS3, Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Nintendo's Wii - tested positive for a variety of hazardous chemicals, including polyvinyl chloride (PVC), beryllium, bromine, and phthalates.

The latter, found in relatively high levels in both the Xbox 360 and PS3, are not permitted in components of toys or childcare products sold in the European Union. However, game consoles are not classified as toys and therefore are not subject to existing legislation.

"Whether game consoles are classified as toys or not, they can still contain hazardous chemicals and materials that could harm humans. The technology is available for the manufacturers to design out toxics and produce greener game consoles now," said Greenpeace's Dr. Kevin Brigden in a press release.

The report found that all three systems also contained significant levels of bromine, a chemical linked to impaired memory functions and other health problems. One of the phthalates found in the 360 and PS3, a chemical called DEHP, is also known to interfere with sexual development in mammals, especially males.

Hold on -- you don't need to start wearing a cup made of reinforced steel every time you play Halo 3 just yet. Greenpeace points out that the three console manufacturers have "avoided or reduced uses of individual hazardous substances in certain materials within their consoles." Nintendo's Wii showed no traces of beryllium in its electrical contacts, the Xbox 360 used fewer brominated materials in its housing materials and the PS3 circuit boards were bromine-free.

"Our test clearly shows that a greener game console is possible, said Casey Harrell, Greenpeace International toxics campaigner. "By combining the best practices of each console design, we could replace most of the hazardous chemicals found in these game consoles with toxic free materials."

And whatever you do, don't dump your broken 360 in the trash. The group has further identified game consoles as key contributors towards a growing waste product called "ewaste." Once console have reached the end of useful life, the group said, game consoles are "often dumped and end up in unsafe and dirty recycling yards in developing countries, where toxic contents harm both the environment and the health of workers."

Ok, get ready to play.. have your lead lined cups? Get that controler out of your mouth. Stope licking the console.

Hello Kitty for tourism in Japan

Tue, 20 May 2008 19:14:59 GMT

By TOMOKO A. HOSAKA, Associated Press Writer
Mon May 19, 3:11 PM ET

TOKYO - Hello Kitty — Japan's ubiquitous ambassador of cute — has built up an impressive resume over the years. Global marketing phenom. Fashion diva. Pop culture icon. Now the moonfaced feline can add "government envoy" to the list. The tourism ministry on Monday named Hello Kitty as its choice to represent the country in China and Hong Kong, two places where she is wildly popular among kids and young women.

Officials hope that tapping into that fan base will lead to a bigger flow of tourists into Japan, and closer toward their goal of attracting 10 million overseas visitors every year under the "Visit Japan" campaign.

Last year the number of foreign tourists traveling to Japan hit a record high of 8.35 million, up 60 percent since the government began the marketing effort in 2003.

Arrivals from China and Hong Kong, who accounted for 16.5 percent of visitors to Japan last year, are poised this year to become the second-largest group of tourists after South Koreans.

At a press conference, Sanrio Co. President Shintaro Tsuji called Hello Kitty's new appointment "an honor" and pledged to "work hard to attract many visitors."

Japan's other goodwill tourism ambassadors include Korean singer Younha, Japanese actress Yoshino Kimura and Japanese pop/rock duo Puffy AmiYumi.

Although this is the first time the tourism ministry has tapped a fictional character for the role, the foreign ministry in March inaugurated blue robo-cat Doraemon as Japan's "anime ambassador."

Designed in 1974 by Sanrio, Hello Kitty first appeared on a plastic coin purse. Her image today has become one of the most powerful brands in the world, adorning some 50,000 products in 60 countries.

In China, Kitty-fever has already broken out.

A multi-million-dollar musical featuring Hello Kitty opened earlier this year in Beijing and is in the midst of a national tour. "Hello Kitty's Dream Light Fantasy" is then scheduled to travel to Malaysia, Singapore and the U.S. over its three-year run.

According to her official profile from Sanrio, Hello Kitty lives with her family in London. It does not mention how often she visits Japan.

Wii Fit in Trouble

Sat, 17 May 2008 18:29:38 GMT

When a 10 year-old girl from the South-East of Britain stepped on the scale of Nintendo's new game Wii Fit, she expected to get the blood pumping with some fun, casual exercising.

Instead, the game's software told her she was fat. Understandably, her father wasn't happy.

"She is a perfectly healthy, 4ft 9in tall 10-year-old who swims, dances and weighs only six stone (84 lbs). She is solidly built but not fat. She was devastated to be called fat and we had to work hard to convince her she isn't."

Obesity experts in the U.K. are working equally hard taking Nintendo to task for failing to warn parents that Wii Fit isn't appropriate for younger kids. At the center of the debate is the game's use of the Body Mass Index (BMI) as a means of judging the health of its players. After standing on the game's innovative Balance Board peripheral and entering basic information like height and weight, the game doles out an overall BMI number as well as a label, such as "underweight," "ideal," or in some cases, "fat." While the somewhat callous system is reasonably accurate in determining the BMI of adults, a child's BMI can literally change from day to day. Experts have deemed its use in Wii Fit misleading.

"I'm absolutely aghast that children are being told they are fat," said Tam Fry of the National Obesity Forum. "BMI is far from perfect but with children it simply should not be used. A child's BMI can change every month and it is perfectly possible for a child to be stocky, yet still very fit."

Nintendo apologized for the terminology used to describe players, but stopped short of actually adding a warning to the game.

"Wii Fit is still capable of measuring the BMI for people aged between two and 20 but the resulting figures may not be entirely accurate for younger age groups due to varying levels of development," the company said through a spokesman.

Nintendo's exergame is already a bona fide international hit, selling out quickly in both Japan and Europe. The game releases in North America on May 19.
