i have too many blogs. It is hard to decide which ones I want to do blog. Lately, I have been using Tumblr beacuse it is very easy and quick. I am a fan of microblogging. I dont usually write long entries. I just post cool stuff, such as photos and links. I like to share with you all.

Although you cannot see the status part here because it has to be logged by admin (which is me), it is a nice way to do quick posting from here on my blog.
It is a twitter-inspired. I like it.

The Onion Comes to DC
I usually read Washington Express. But when Washington Examiner comes to the town, I read more on Washington Examiner. I like Washington Examiner better than Washington Express. Why ? Washington Examiner puts Sports to the last few pages while Washington Express in the middle. I don’t read Sports. Not only that reason, but there is also another one: how it looks. The Examiner design looks much cooler than the Express. The Soduku in Examiner has more room in boxes than in Express. Unfortunately when I came to metro in the morning around 9:30 to 10:00 AM, the Examiner seems not be available for me to pick up. I was not sure if it is ‘sold out’ or they never put any in there. If it is sold-out, I can see why. It is a better newspaper.
A few months ago, I read somewhere about The Onion will come in our Washington Metro area in paper newspapers. The Onion, dubbed America’s Finest News Source, is a popular news website, founded by students at University of Wisconsin in 1988. It is filled with variety of news from Local to Politic to Sports to Science/Tech to Entertainment to Education. It is the Gen-X satiric newspaper. The age range of 18 and 44 are reading The Onion online.The Onion already have distributed in paper newspaper to 9 cities. Washington DC will be their tenth city. Washington Post will be paid for its business services. It will be in news boxes at metro stations and by hawkers on April 5th. I am looking forward to reading the newest newspaper in the town!
One of the cities’ The Onion newspaper looks like that all the way below. I noticed that they costs 50 cents each, but we, Washingtonians, will get them for FREE. How nice. Thanks to Washington Post. I have excrepted an quotation from Washington Post article. You can read more in Washington Post here.
“We believe that The Onion will be very well-received among young Washingtonians, and this is a very attractive opportunity for us to provide our advertisers with a new and unique way to reach that attractive young audience
Christopher MA, Post Co. Vice President

Now who will read more: The Onion, Washington Examiner or The Washington Express? Mmm, we will shall see…

Pepsi Unpatriotic?
I got an email from a friend about Pepsi. This implied that Pepsi is Unpatrotic because they left two words out: ‘Under God’ in the Pledge of Allegiance and it has Empire Building pictures on the can.
First of all, I love Pepsi. But I have nothing to do with the religion here. I just was puzzled about this one. So I decided to research a bit on that and I found the similiar message that I got in email to see if that is true. Well they said it is not true. They got mixed up with Dr. Pepper. The Dr Pepper did leave two words out, “Under God.’ I believe the reason they thought it was Pepsi because of their new look on the cans. You can view the design of the cans here. It is nice.
You know that the rumors can be very dangerous. Rumors can cause a lot of trouble. It can easily be misinformed.
This one is from the site called truthorfiction.com below. You can find that link here.
I’ll buy Coke!
Pepsi has a new patriotic can coming out with pictures of the Empire State Bldg. and the Pledge of Allegiance on them. But Pepsi forgot two little words on the pledge, “Under God.” Pepsi said they did not want to offend anyone.
If this is true then we do not want to offend anyone at the Pepsi corporate office. If we do not buy any Pepsi product then they will not receive any of our monies. Our money after all does have the words “Under God” on it.
Please pass this word to everyone you know. Tll your Sunday School class tomorrow and tell your Pastors so that they can tell the whole congregation. We want the words “under God” to be read by every person who buys a can
This version below that I got from email:
Don’t buy Pepsi in the new can. Pepsi has a new “patriotic” can coming out with pictures of the Empire State Building , and the Pledge of Allegiance on them. However, Pepsi left out two little words on the pledge, “Under God.” Pepsi said they didn’t want to offend anyone.
In that case, we don’t want to offend anyone at the Pepsi corporate office, either! So if we don’t buy any Pepsi product, they will not be offended when they don’t receive our money that has the words “In God We Trust” on it.
You can check about the Dr. Pepper leaving two words out, “Under God” from truthorfiction.com here.
The excerpt below:
As you may or may not have heard, Dr Pepper is coming out with a patriotic set of soda cans. The problem is that one of the cans will have the Statue of Liberty on one side and the Pledge of Allegiance on the other. Why is this a problem? Dr Pepper has taken upon themselves to remove “Under God”. The can will read “One Nation, … , Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for All”.
This has got to stop. When a handful of people wanted to stop prayer in school, I did nothing. I wasn’t in school any longer so it didn’t seem to bother me. I know this may sound hypocritical for me to now want to be involved, and I really can’t explain why this seems to tear at my heart, but it does. I have children now and maybe that’s the reason. For all of you with children in school, or grandchildren or nieces or nephews, this has touched you more than me. I see the world in the shape that it is in today and worry about the shape that it will be in when my children are older and attend grammer, middle and high school. What part will God play in the future? Will he even have a part?
This action from the Dr Pepper corporate office is no more than an attack on Believers. This does not target any specific denomination. This does not target christians. This is a slap in the face of both Believers in the One True God and Americans in general. My father fought in a war for his country. The Pledge of Allegiance is a symbol of what they were fighting for, just as the flag that waves today. The audicity of any single organization to take it upon themselves to change such an institution as the Pledge of Allegiance is more than I can stand.

Cowboy 1 ….. Smart Ass 0
My friend sent me this email … thought it would be worth of posting here. Enjoy.
A young, well-educated man on a business trip get on a plane to find himself seated next to an older, weathered man in a western snap shirt, faded jeans and a cowboy hat. Thinking himself above the old cowboy, the young man decides to make sport of him.
“You know,” he says, “I’ve heard these flights go much more quickly if you strike up a conversation with a fellow passenger. So, let’s talk.”
The cowboy looks at him wryly and says, “Well I suppose that’d be all right. What’d ya like to discuss?”
“Oh, I don’t know.” says the young man with a hint of sarcasm, “How about Nuclear Proliferation?”
“Hmmm,” says the cowboy, sensing the young man attempt to belittle him, “That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first —horses, cows and deer all eat the same stuff—grass. Yet, a deer passes little pallets, a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse makes muffins of dried poop. Why do you suppose that is?”
Dumbfounded, the young man replies, “I haven’t the slightest idea.”
“So tell me then,” says the cowboy with a smile, “How is it that you feel qualified to discuss nukes when you don’t know shit?”

Dreamlets
Are they cute? It reminds me almost like ones that Manny designed his called Mava Dolls. Matty from Mojizu created cuddy creatures called Dreamlets. Each cuddy creature has name. You can check his catalog here.

I never got a chance to get one of Manny’s Mava Dolls.
I am sure it is sold out already. They are adorable! I hope he will make some more. I would love to have one!

By the way, check Matty’s website, http://mattyharper.com. It is a cool website. It is different. Also, he has a MojiZu profile there. I need to sign up so I can adopt any characters from MojiZu.

Idol
The video tells a psychedelic storybook come to life, Rabbit spins an eerie childhood fable of the consequence of greed. It is 8 minutes and 20 seconds (08:20). I say it is an odd story yet interesting. I am not sure If I understood this story… Well I would say it is a good animated video. It is different. I will leave up to you to decide if it is good or not.

Interesting.
However, do keep in mind that The Onion is filled with parodies and satires.
