Hot Dog


Hot dogs are delicious.

If I were the king of the world, I would own my own hot dog brand and they would rock your world!

Robots

Here is something to help you read the blog. Press play and follow along:

Remember the year 2000 when everyone was freaking out about their computers not being able to handle the change from 99 to 00? What was that all about? I fear that mankind has far too little confidence in their robotic creations. On the other hand, do we have too much confidence in our mechanical friends? There is a thin line between the two and I intend on presenting both sides of that line!
Robots are our friends: There are plenty of great examples out there of robots and humans getting along. Take for example the computer you are infront of right now, without that computer where would you be? You'd probably be bored. Robots
do so much for us, like cleaning our floors and tease our cats (as seen here with the Roomba):
Robots tell us what time it is and connect our phone calls. They are responsible for life support machines in hospitals and they cook our frozen burritos and nachos. Think of how much work we would have to do if we couldn't rely on machines! We would be stuck in the dark ages with who knows what kind of diseases! Robots like R2D2, C3PO, WALL-E, Stephan Hawking, the Terminator, Inspector Gadget, the Tin Man, the Canada Space Arm, toilets, automated telephone operators, wrist watches, Optimus Prime, the iPod, your mom's mixer, Mega Man, and Dr. Emmett Brown's robotic breakfast machine from Back to the Future are all patriots of a friendly and long lasting relationship between humans and the mechanical world. For the most part it is also important to note that robots never ask for anything in return. What have you done for a robot?

Robots are evil: Although it is difficult to find hard evidence that evil robots do exist, there are still a lot to speculate about. Like how many limbs, heads, or digits have been lost
at the "hands" of a machine? Most of the time it is the fault of weak human minds and flesh that such accidents happen, but on the rare occasion an evil robot may be to blame! Rouge robots can cause a lot of problems, just look at Hal from 2001: a Space Odyssey (right).
Or how about Dr. Octopus (Spiderman 2, 2004), or the Matrix, or even the Borgs? We just have to face the facts: There are and probably always will be evil robots out there that are bent on making humans suffer. Maybe we are to blame, who knows? I mean we try and push technology to the next level year after year, but when is it going to stop? The answer: Probably not until a robot has ripped the roof off your house and stolen your children to use as power sources to run their complicated machinery! Only the simplest of robots can be truly trusted.
For now it is probably enough to just know that there is a possibility that robotic uprising could occur in the future, little more thought or action is required beyond this. I like robots. Do I trust them with my life?? That depends. Do I think that robots will take over? Well, that also depends. As long as I have the upper hand I think that me and robots will get along just fine. I am excited to see what is coming next. What the heck is the next iPhone going to look like for example? I hope that it can fly. If I were the king of the world, I would definitely get robotic extendable arms.

Space

I have always been interested in outer space, you know, that endless abyss that exists beyond our atmosphere. The mystery of what is out there kind of boggles my mind. I am completely okay with the possibility of extra-terrestrial life. After all, Alf was one of my favorite aliens growing up!
I can only hope that there is more life out there like this hilariously lovable creature! Most aliens probably aren't so bad. They're probably a lot like us, there's good ones and there's bad ones. I just wish we could get out there easier to do some real exploring.

I was always a little skeptical about the lunar landing. It just didn't make sense to me that we only landed a handful of men on the moon over thirty years ago. With doubts in hand I did what any would-be scientist would do, I investigated. Amid the piles and piles of conspiracy theories out there I found the proof I needed and I embraced the truth, "WE LANDED ON THE MOON!"- Lloyd Christmas. The thing that bums me out the most is that the US government spent all that time, money and effort to land on the moon and they didn't leave a better mark! Come one guys! You land on the moon and all you do is plant a tiny little flag!! Where's the creativity? You are smart enough and creative enough to design rockets, landers, and all sorts of other neat space stuff, yet your best idea to make you mark is a tiny little flag?
You can do better than this NASA! I realize the difficulty involved in getting to the moon and that you may not have room to care materials required to truly leave you mark, but there are options. Just think back to your childhood, if you wanted to leave your make you used what materials you had at hand, be it paint, mud, rocks, pee, ect. I think of the moon as this highly misjudged asset that is at our disposal to help fulfill some of our wildest dreams. I am afraid that the moon is being taken for granted! If I were the king of the world, I would fly my private space ship up there and really leave my mark!

There's a new kid on the block!


I realize that you have all been waiting in great anticipation for this day to arrive, but you need not wait any longer! I have found my way onto the interweb. Let me introduce my main goals to you:
For starters I am not overly fond of the idea of blogging. I have little to no experience with blogs, I have read few and have not even considered looking at most. For me I have two interests when reading over some of the nonsense that is out there, having a laugh and being amazed.
Secondly I feel like the blogging world has been run by stay-at-home moms and "hip" college girls for far too long (I have nothing against either I just think there should be some representation from a different demographic for a change: MAN).
Thirdly, I thought it would be nice to have a place where all your wildest dreams come true and where imaginations are free to roam the endless possibilities that await us!
Lastly, I have no agenda and I don't want to prove anything. If I can get a smile, a chuckle, or even a sigh of relief, then I will feel like my work has been done.
If I were king of the world, I would pat myself on the back and say, "You did it man, you're king of the world! Let's go get some nachos!"
