Starbucks Aids in Americas Fight To Get Fatter

AMERICA'S QUEST FOR FATDOM RAGES ON...

I hope you were as stunned by the news as I was, but Tuesday, January 18, Starbucks announced that it will now provide American with the new "Trenta cup size". 
The new sized cup will be 31 oz, which, are you sitting down........IS ALMOST A WHOLE QUART!
You can click on the link below to read the whole story, but I just had to comment on this.  When will it be enough America?  Do you need a full quart of ANYTHING on the go?  Is anyone whipping up a batch of homemade cookies in Hummer they just pulled up in?
Seriously.  When is all to much?  We are actually far beyond "too much" at this point.  This land is a beautiful place.  America!  I am proud to be here.  Along with the freedoms came gluttony.  We've forgotten to put the fork down.  We have yet to realize that our bodies are not meant to consume mass quantities of anything.  Our bodies are built for survival and to be gluttonous should be a reward.  Not everyday practice.

You can agree with me or hate me, but the truth is in our faces.  America is fat.  Americans are dying, from being fat.  And the big corporate conglomerates are profiting from it.  It is really sad to think that the only way most of these people are going to wake up is when there dead.

New Video Uploaded! Check Out Some Very Fast Off Road Racing Footage From National Televised C.O.R.R.

Here is a video i shot and produced for 4 Wheel Parts a couple years ago.  The #1 thing to take into consideration here is the fact that this entire video was shot in 2 days, with one person and one very tired camera.  All in all it turned out pretty good, the president of 4 wheel parts, and featured racer, Greg Adler was happy with the video, and I had a blast doing it. 

There are a few things in life that have scared the hell out of me doing.  And many of those things I would do again in a heart beat.  The first was skydiving.  Not the strapped in to another person kind.  I'm talking "lets get our skydiving license" kind of skydiving.  Another was standing in the middle of a dirt race track, filming 800 Horsepower, $100,000 dollar trophy race trucks, flying by you at 100 miles per hour and flying through the air without wings. 

Its a video unlike any other you will find online.  Its pretty self explanatory i think.  I just wanted to show the feeling of racing.  What a racers mind looks like, and what it takes to have balls as big as these boys. 

Enjoy.

Free Your Mind - A Commercial Free World

 The days of flipping from radio station to radio station to radio station, trying to find music, is over.  Well, its not over, but I don't have to put up with it anymore.  Guess what!  Neither do you.  Satellite Radio / SiriusXm is here. 

If you have yet to experience the magic that is Satellite Radio, then do yourself a favor and FREE YOUR MIND!  Free your mind of the constant advertising.  Free your mind and explore new worlds  of music and entertainment.  Free your mind and immerse yourself in the reading of a great book.  Instead of being enamored with commercial after commercial after commercial, tune into the Comedy Channel and laugh.

The world that is Satellite radio is in essence, freedom.  Yes.  It does cost money, but the old adage "freedom isn't free" will make you realize that if for only a few bucks a month you can fill your mind with anything your little heart desires, its a price well worth the freedom. 

For most of my adult life I was forced like everyone else to listen to Terrestrial Radio.  A few songs, a witty DJ with a few minutes of interesting banter, followed by commercial after commercial.  BUY THIS CAR!  CLEAR YOUR PIMPLES!  BUY THIS DRUG.  NO WAIT.  THIS DRUG. 

I cant count how many times I've been in my car, going from point A to point B, without hearing one song.  Even if the trip was 20 minutes, it was 20 minutes of non stop commercials.  And forget about decent talk radio.  It just cant be found on Terrestrial Radio.  As soon as there was an option to break free from the non stop advertising banter, I took it.  No more would I be bound to "rocking out" to a Living Spaces Commercial on the way to work.  If I want to rock out in my car on the way to work, I want to do it right now.  I don't want to wait.  When the mood strikes and I want to catch up on last nights sports scores, I want to be able to hear that right now.  Not when and if the commercials ever end. 

The point here is simple.  "Freedom Isn't Free".  It never has nor will it ever be.  And the price I pay for SiriusXm and Satellite Radio a month is quite small compared to my sanity and the well being of others on the road.  My mornings now consist of coffee and a smoke with Howard Stern.  Many morning consist of banging my head furiously to Metal as I get the previous nights cobwebs out of my head and prepare for the day.  "What was the score of the laker game."  Oh that's right, let me tune into one of the many awesome sports channels to find out.  Its all there.  Non stop music, books, talk, sports, comedy and so much more.  What do you want with your coffee and drive to / from work?  How about a good book or some Christina Aguilera? 

Whatever, whenever, however you want it, its there.  I took the leap and set my mind free in January 2007.  I can't even explain to you how it changed my life.  No more commercials, no more constant yammering to buy this, i need that, donate today, invest now, rates are lower than ever.... AAAHHHHHH STOP!  And it did.  All for $12 little bucks a day.  So I ask you.... What is freedom of the mind worth to you?  When will you break free of advertising and fill your mind with what makes you an individual?  Commercials and advertising aren't who you are, so why support that medium any longer?
