| Another Truly Laughable "Curse" Obsession | | 2008-06-09 15:27:00 | | I hope Dan Shaughnessy is damned to hell for this.Over the weekend, I saw an article, courtesy of the great web site Fire Joe Morgan, that's once again trying to dredge up some stupid, moronic, nonsensical "curse." And this time dear readers, the Red Sox have been put under some kind of "evil spell" with all the injuries they've had this season.I hope you've stopped laughing by now. Yes, some moronic dimwit named "Bill Chuck" (yeah, I'll bet that's his real name) over at Fox Sports wrote a lengthy article over there about the new "curse" the Sox are under because of the injuries to players like David Ortiz, Sean Casey, Curt Schilling and Daisuke Matsuzaka.If you click the link above, you can get Ken Tremendous' laugh-out-loud take on this stupid crap that someone actually made up over at Fox Sports. Once again, I just shake my head at laughable nonsense like "curses" and "jinxes" and those halfwits who are trying to make up new ones, especially when it concerns the Red Sox.

| | Obsession, Novel Writing, Short Film(3) | | 2008-04-11 03:51:48 | | The battle of ending my newest novel is near. I think. At times I can almost feel it - this process - ending. Other times it’s as though it’s taken on a life of its own. I’m not talking light at the end of a tunnel ending or anything like that. It’s more like the [...] | | By: (Worst)Writer | | |
| | La Joconde: Histoire d'une obsession(1958) | | 2008-04-05 16:46:18 | | How many films did you watch in your life? How many films narrate the obsession of a character? It's very simple, for a cinematographer, to leave all the intepretations open but sometimes the fact could be true.A man is obsessed by the Mona Lisa after he has seen the famous painting at the museum of the Louvre. This anecdote is the inspiraton of Heri Gruel's short. Boris Vian give free course to his imagination and tries to solve the enigma of the smile of the Mona Lisa.La Joconde won The Gold | | By: Mellart | | |

I've even been known to take a cup that still has drink in it and put it in the dishwasher to clean."Heidi - who replaced the band's original member Siobhan Donaghy in 2001 - recently revealed she found bandmate Amelle Berrabah's nightclub brawl "hilarious".She said: "I was in shock! We were going to Atlanta to record the next day, and me and Keisha turned up at the airport, full of the joys of spring. We got out of the car, saw Amelle, and I'm like, 'Oh, Amelle, here is your birthday present!' and she was like, 'I've just come from a cell.' It was hilarious."Amelle claimed she and her sister Laila had been attacked for no reason by a group of girls in the Surrey nightclub. She was arrested for her part in the April fracas, but all charges were later droppe | | By: female celebrities gallery | | |

- Oscar Levant
To enjoy the holiday season more, I amassed some books for reading to pass my time. I also came up with a book wishlist (of which some of the titles can be seen above) and transferred my online list of [...] | | By: Postcard Headlines | | |
| | Really funny jokes-Mother's Obsession | | 2007-12-14 06:18:10 | | A psychiatrist was conducting a group therapy session with four young mothers and their small children."You all have obsessions," he observed.To the first mother, Mary, he said, "You are obsessed with eating.You've even named your daughter Candy."He turned to the second Mom, Ann: "Your obsession is with money.Again, it manifests itself in your child's name, Penny." He turned to the third Mom, Joyce: "Your obsession is alcohol. This too shows itself in your child's name, Brandy."At this point, the fourth mother, Kathy, quietly got up, took her little boy by the hand and whispered, "Come on, Dick, we're leaving." | | By: Really funny jokes | | |
| | What is Coeli's Obsession? | | 2007-12-10 15:58:35 | | (Note: This post is an entry to Otaku Anonymous' contest, "What's Your Obsession?")The readers of this blog might already have an answer to that question based on what they see and read here. Strictly speaking, I don't consider myself an otaku because I don't spend my life inside my room with anime, manga, video games and figures as company. Using the Americanized meaning of the term otaku though...well, I guess I am.What am I a fan of:Anime - I've seen more than 300 anime series, OVAs and movies. 300 and still counting. I've seen some of my favorite anime like Fushigi Yuugi, Rurouni Kenshin, GTO, Yu Yu Hakusho and Slam Dunk more than 5 times each. I've tons of CDs and DVDs in my room, most of them scattered just about everywhere since I've run out of space for them a long time ago.Manga - I think I enjoy manga more than anime ever since I started reading. I have more than 250 manga already (still counting too!), most of them not generally known while some are where anime series are based on. The most I've read in one day was more than 30 volumes -- manga makes me lethargic and once I've started reading, I refuse to stop unless I really need to.Figures - I started collecting anime and video game based figures around 5-6 years ago. It all started with a Shishio and a Seijuro (of Rurouni Kenshin) figure that I bought in a toy store in Singapore. Now I have around 50 different figures ranging from gashapon to trading figures to large figures. Add a couple of gunpla (Gundam kits) there and you have a three-tier cabinet full of figures. I've actually run out of space already so some of my gashapon are on top of the case. I still have a long list of figures I'm waiting to purchase so I need to get a larger display case first.Video Games - Okay, I don't really have that much patience when it comes to playing video games which is why I stick to fighting games and those interesting, funny and amusing games. I do like playing samurai-themed video games though (an | | By: Poopsies - Toys, Anime, Manga, Video Games, etc. | | |
| | Man's Obsession With Predictions | | 2007-10-01 19:12:00 | | We live a society constantly trying to predict, in one way or another, what exactly is going to happen in the future--near or far. We've all heard of Nostradamus--well most of us, look him up if you haven't. So, what exactly is our curiosity with the future? The interesting thing is that, from the perspective of reality, there's no sure way to even know what the future holds. But that doesn't seem to stop us from trying to figure it out. Perhaps in the future some technology will come along that changes this, or maybe we'll get smart enough to know the patterns of life. It's very unlikely, but still.Even I am not immune to this obsession. In my first finished novel, WISB (the World in the Satin Bag, found on the right there), the main villain happens to be capable of viewing the future, and altering its course in the process by knowing what decisions he needs to make to correct what might come true.What predictions do you have?I recently found a site called Long Bets which takes things even further.Predictions of Interest:By 2050 we will receive intelligent signals from outside our solar system. Here.By 2050 no synthetic computer nor machine intelligence will have become truly self-aware (ie. will become conscious). Here.That by 2020 a wearable device will be available that will use voice recognition capability and high-volume storage to monitor and index conversations you have or conversations which occur in your vicinity for later searching as supplemental memory. Here.By the year 2020, the tickets to space travel - at the least to Moon, will be available over the counter. Here.That by 2024 "artificial" life emerging somewhere out of the soup of human technology will be given a Latin taxonomic name by biologists and others and declared viable for study. Here.By 2020, in real or artificial life, sustainable evolutionary progress in a genetically closed system will not have been demonstrated. Here.By the year 2040, AI will appear on computer viruses that will communicate with each other using a universal Internet language and will be programmed to fuse together and mutate into Computer Organs that will later be controlled by powerful search engines (Systems) diffused through out the Internet. Here.By the year 2020 solar electricity will be as cheap or cheaper than that produced by fossil fuels. Here.Evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence within the solar system will be confirmed before evidence from several light-years away. Here.By 2020 a completely propellantless (no material particles expelled for propulsion) or "field propulsion-type" aerospace vehicle will land on the Moon. Here.By 2025 at least 50% of all U.S. citizens residing within the United States will have some form of technology embedded in their bodies for the purpose of tracking and identification. Here.By the year 2020 the technology will exist that will allow for the "faxing" (teleportation- sending/receiving) of actual inanimate objects, such as text books, clothing, jewelery and the like. Here.By 2150 faster than light propulsion theory will become realized, but not implemented, either through black holes, worm holes or space time warping. Here.And some for the sake of humor!Within 100 years the citizens and companies of a large and prosperous country in excess of 100 million people will no longer pay taxes of any kind. Here.By 2007, the U.S. Government will intervene to prevent at least one of the Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers (ILECs)/Regional Bell Operating Companines (RBOCs) (e.g. Verizon, SBC, Bell South, and EXCEPTING Qwest) from filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Here.An all-new Star Wars film will be released to theatres this century. Here. (Ignoring the ones that already came out of course).So, apparently we're making all sorts of interesting predictions these days. | | By: The World in the Satin Bag | | |
| | My Big Brother Obsession. | | 2007-08-04 13:07:52 | | Ok, since it’s the weekend and I’m watching live feeds of Big Brother 8, I am now officially obsessed.

| | Stalking and Violence: New Patterns of Trauma and Obsession | | 2007-07-16 06:44:00 | | Author: Stephen J. Morewitz Paperback: 150 pagesPublisher: Springer; 1 edition (December 31, 2002)Language: EnglishISBN: 0306473658Stalking and Violence: New Patterns of Obsession and Trauma provides new perspectives on the prevalence, causes, and effects of stalking in intimate and non-intimate relations. Drawing on the results of a large random survey of restraining orders, this book found that stalking is highly prevalent in a variety of relationships and is a pattern of behaviors that is routinely regulated by the demographic and social characteristics of the victims and offenders. This book demonstrates that it is possible to develop reliable stalker profiles to help better detect and respond to the threat of stalking. These findings differ from previous studies that considered stalking limited to severely disturbed persons. Covering a wide range of topics from offender profiling, the dangers of stalking, cyberstalking, traumatic health effects, and the responses of the polic | | By: GanEden For Books | | |
