Greed, and power stem from one of two things. One of those things as you can tell by the title is money. The other thing is brute force.

Money can buy you anything you want, therefor it is natural and greed should follow with the money. With money you also have power. The power to buy and sell things, and occasionally people in certain cases.The power to get the things they want and do the things they wish to do.

Brute force is just as powerful as having money. You can manipulate people by forcing them to do something. Controlling people with threats and violence can be just as powerful as controlling them with money. Sometimes it is even more powerful than money, people can turn down money, but the threat of violence can move mountains when even a high dollar amount won’t.

Is money really the root of all evil? Other countries have oil which means that they have money, but the United States has the brute force behind it. Does that mean that the countries are threatened? No because with their money they can buy protection against the force and then they would have both the power of money and force.

So is money really the root of all evil, is it really as powerful as people say, or is it the money with the force to back it up that is the true power?

I can scratch another notch in my belt of games completed after I finished up the main storyline for Superman Returns. I don’t have an interest in going and collecting all the kittens and powerups. Since I am done with it, I may trade it in at Gamestop, though I am not sure when I will do that. Now if only I can sit down and play some Mass Effect to figure out what is going on in that game.

I don’t use checks. I pay all my bills online and if need be then I send an e-check. As I learned last month when I got the cable boxes, e-checks don’t always work. The cable guy required a check, he couldn’t take cash or credit, so I was in a dilema. I had to go to the bank and get a certified check of $30 to pay for the service. Since then I have ordered checks for those just in case moments. When I reorder checks from the place I ordered them from, I enter the coupon code BlogFreeChecks08 and I get 25 free checks. I haven’t actually used any checks just yet, but it is still good to know that I have them when I need them.

The hardest part I always found about having checks was balancing the checkbook. It is actually easier now, especially after I took that accounting class a few years ago. Now the biggest challenge is having more money going into the checking account than coming out of it. Of course I think everyone has that problem, otherwise we wouldn’t be in a recession right now. I think it will get eaiser though, especially if Krissy gets this job she’s hoping for and I finally have something take off on my end.

A lot of people ask me what this site is all about. To be honest, I don’t know anymore. It started out as mainly a blog, which I hate to admit, with a few other features. It has grown to so much more than that. It has grown to Myspace comments and wallpapers and so much more. I am trying to get other people involved in the content making so it won’t all be on me. What do I tell people when they ask what is the point of my site? It is a multifacited site that offers something for everyone. Why do sites have to have a focus anyway? People are multifacited and websites can be too.

Is there any sight more beautiful than a sky filled with stars? When I was younger I remember looking up at the night sky and seeing the millions of stars twinkling in the sky. I can’t do that anymore, there is too much light pollution. There seems to be a lot of ambient light anywhere you go in the United States. I’ve been in West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and Delaware and in none of those states could I see as many stars as I could ten years ago in New Jersey.

Whatever happened to going in the backyard laying on the ground and looking for all the constellations? Nowadays it seems in order to see constellations you need to go to a planetarium. The Dark Sky Festival is being held to make people aware of the light pollution and to have people do something about this problem.

It’s too bad that they can’t just turn off the power to a town, some exceptions apply like hospitals, etc, so that people can enjoy the natural beauty of what they might not see otherwise. When was the last time you stared at the millions of stars in the galaxy? If you can’t answer that then maybe it is time that you go out and just lay in the grass and see what stars you can, or take a vacation to somewhere without all the light and enjoy the view.

It took a lot to dye my hair. I first put straight peroxide, 20 proof on my head, but that didn’t do anything, even with it sitting there for over an hour. Next I used a lightening kit along with the peroxide, that seemed to work, but it made my hair many different colors, from white, to a strange orangey color, to a very out of place red color. I don’t mind it though because I had black hair for so long it bored me.

The one thing that I didn’t like about dying my hair was afterwards when I was washing the stuff out of my head, using a normal shampoo made my hair feel like straw. Even using conditioner didn’t help that much, the peroxide seemed to have stripped all the natural oils out of my hair and I would have to not shower for a few days to get them back. The next time I washed my hair the shampoo made my hair like straw again. It wasn’t until the third time that I had washed my hair with naked naturals shampoo and conditioner that my hair wasn’t like straw. I guess a natural shampoo is the best way to go for color treated hair, it restores the oils that the peroxide strips away like no other shampoo can.

I was watching the AVN Awards on Showtime for a little while. I am not against pornography in any way, in fact I actually embrace it and encourage people who are against it to watch it and defy them not to get turned on. So as I am watching this, I see all these women there. Now these aren’t the horror stories that people try and portray of the adult industry. I am sure you know the horror stories I am referring to, the ones where they have to do it or are being forced. These are powerful women up there. Jenna Jameson, Tera Patrick, these are names that have shaped and continue to shape the pornography industry of the 21st century.

With such powerful women in charge of the industry, I fail to see how women can get offended by it. How can something be offensive to women if women are the ones creating the content to begin with? Back in the day it was a male run industry, but times have changed. The most powerful woman in porn, Jenna Jameson has risen from the ashes of her youth and has become very powerful, not just in the adult industry, but she has also crossed over into mainstream media.

Now I wouldn’t go as far as to say that these women should be looked up to as role models for what they do as an occupation, but they should be looked up to as role models for what they have overcome, and what they have been able to achieve. In the last ten years the tables have turned. Don’t you think it is time to embrace the change and reconsider what is deemed offensive in this country? Porn can not be offensive if the gender who is offended are also the ones producing it.

I love digital photo frames. I don’t actually own one, but Krissy has one that is attached to her keys and my aunt has one. I think they are the coolest things. You could load anything onto it and have it displayed anywhere in your house. You can also easily switch out the pictures without printing anything to put into it.

I think that a digital photo frame would make a great gift to anyone technologically inclined, or otherwise. How many times do you take a picture on a digital camera and never get around to printing it? With digital photo frames you never have to print anything again. I would love to have one, but even with their great prices they seem to be out of my price range at the moment. I will have one someday soon though.

I love the city, and with good reason too. There are so many things to do in New York that you could be there for a week and not get bored. I wish that I still lived in NJ so I could go there anytime I want, but now that I am in Delaware getting up there is proving to be harder than you’d think.I want to go up there and really take in the city for all its worth. I am talking about getting a hotel room for a few nights and then using Trusted Tours & Attractions to take a nice tour of the city.

I think people should consider city tours when they are throwing around family vacation ideas. What better way to spend a family vacation than to go around to all the sights the city has to offer? Even if you don’t want to go on a predefined tour per say, there’s always so much to do in New York that when throwing around vacation ideas you may want to put it at the top of your list.

If you are planning a vacation, or want to go on a tour then I suggest that you head on over to their site and sign up for the Trusted Travels eNewsletter and enter to win an IPOD Nano! Offer ends Monday, March 31st, 2008.

I want to get my degree. I have no money to go back to school so I need to look into student loans. I know Krissy is trying to go back to school too, so she will also need a student loan. I would hate to take out so much money to pay back, but at least we could defer the payment until after we graduate. Finding a Delaware student loan shouldn’t be that hard, the hard part is going to be finding the right school to go to. Krissy has it figured out at least, I am still lost as to what I want to do and where I want to go.

Nintendo’s Reggie teased E3 2008 today when he was posed the question “with such a big first half of the year for Nintendo, what is the second half going to bring?” His answer was that it would be revealed at E3. For those of you who don’t know, E3 is the Electronics Entertainment Expo held every year in LA. E3 will be held in July this year so it is a little odd that he would be teasing E3 already, considering that it isn’t even April yet. I guess they figure if they put it in your heads now then you will be looking forward to the Nintendo announcements months away. I guess it is an affective strategy.
