You know what? I’m gonna put up a new page for the Formula One Season.
The new Ferrari F-10
I love F-1 and I think everyone should. Formula One is the height of Sports Car driving.. What does this mean.. It means that if you put an F-1 driver in a car, he should be able to spank other drivers in sports cars (in theory anyways). F1 is – by far – the most exciting sport on the planet. ‘And yes, it is a sport you freaks! The cars travel up to 190 on many of the tracks and it is a pure tacticians sport. They can turn like no other cars, and when they brakes are activated, it feels like you’re hitting a wall. The cars are phenomenal pieces of equipment that cost millions of bucks a piece. If you want to know how cool they are; play the end of the video segment when the car is hooked up to the computer and is used to play music.
I’m gonna put together its own page so I don’t have to post my observations on Myspace like I have for the past 2 seasons. I really appreciated all the attention on it but now.. Its on. Maybe I’ll even get a few more Americans in on the action. and you know what? To wet your whistle, I’m gonna load up a video… Its what I do!!! Just watch it. See what happens when you put an average guy behind an F1 Steering Wheel.
Jerome David (JD) Salinger is an American writer and is known for writing the classic literature book, The Catcher In The Rye. He was born in 1919 (January 1) in New York City. He had a pretty interesting life to include Valley Forge Military Academy. He would also serve in the Infantry in World War II, and go to Columbia and New York Universities.
Catcher In The Rye is his most important piece of work… AND, his only published book. He did publish other works to include 21 (KNOWN) short stories and a few poems. ‘Catcher would eventually sell more than 60 Million copies – no doubt aided by schools making his masterpiece required reading. The book itself follows the life of a 17 year old, young man, named; Holden Caulfield. Holden is going through life realizing that he is having a seeming mid life crisis (to us mid life types) as he rebels from society. He flashes back to people in his life.. HEY= This is really basic and you should just read the book. I’m not gonna get into it or ruin if for you.
“An artist’s only concern is to shoot for some kind of perfection, and on his own terms, not anyone else’s.”
He had become reculsive and damn-near hated society but during the 80’s he would sue a guy who claimed to have a interview with him. He would sue another freak later who would write an unauthorized sequel of The Catcher In The Rye. He died January 28, 2010. Rest In Peace!
Thought I’d change it up a bit… so I added on a new look to the site. Hope you like.. Even more important. I hope you noticed that something has changed.
After my last post, I saw that Conan O’brien kicked out a good segment and I had to post it.. In my previous post, I said that the Veyron was the fastest of Street cars… Its also, the most expensive (non-race cars).
This Is from Top Gear. The best show on TV (BBC America if you have to ask). I don’t even find the need to explain this because they explain everything already.. Its Top Gear. Very few of us will ever get a chance to see an actual veyron (I have) let alone touch or, God forbid, drive a Veyron.
With Active Aerodynamics, All Wheel Drive, 4 Turbos, 10 Radiators, and 1001 horsepower, the Veyron is one of the most high-tech cars on the planet.. Watch the video for information.
It is unfortunate for Haiti that this had to happen. Haiti has been a poor (one of the poorest) countries on the planet for a long time now. Gangs, Criminals, Dirty Politician, and other types of opportunists looking to make money off of the suffering of others. The 7.0 was just devastating. It caused all kinds of havoc with infrastructure. Houses, buildings, and bridges stood no chance at all. The images coming out of the island are horrific and sad and unfortunately, will get much worse.
America will always help and the Government (Obama) has promised $100 Million. The American people will also donate some of their own personal money as well. So far its up to around $9 Million bucks or so. And that will probably grow to more than what the government will provide over the course of the next month.
Do something if you want. Don’t do anything if you don’t want to… hell in contrast to the US, China and India both donated $1 Million each. That amount of money does seems piddly for such large governments… but hey! at least they’re helping. Not only is the US providing money, but also search teams, military support, helicopters, water purification, Security support, and a hospital (USNS Comfort) ship.
Teddy Pendergrass died today. He was huge in the 70’s and 80’s. So many good soul and love songs that he was considered a sex symbol. Women loved his voice and guys tried to imitate him. I’m sure he had a wild life (with the ladies) when he was younger. He was later paralyzed from the waste down. He died of colo-rectal cancer or conditions and the recovery required after surgery for it. He was a young man at mere age 59. But we will all remember him because of his music.
It is unfortunate that many will buy his music now that he is dead, however, he has some good stuff worthy of a listen.
Red Bull is always doing some cool Stuff and this vid is no difference. Travis Pastrana hops in his Subaru WRX Rally car and jumps 270 feet. I wish I could do that.. Again, it shows you how fierce a rally car is. Built for speed and… at the same time – to jump!
