I have to wonder would we have voted for a Republican black older gentlemen for the president of the US? I doubt it cause the Democrats and Black people go hand in hand like cheese on crackers (ummm there is no meaning behind that comment LOL)
With President Obama going into his 101 day in office, I wonder about race relations in the US and how we have grown from the past what we used to treat each other like and what we treat each other like now.
Well, just wondering…. don’t feel like going into a big ole rant on it. Inspired by a post made many moons ago on The.LIFE files
Over the last few days, Susan Boyle was in the news and on the internet taking people by surprise. But what I would like to know is what happened to the guy who did the same thing well over a year ago on the same show Britain’s Got Talent?
Before I go into that, I think this guy right here got me to thinking that I need to go to the Opera as soon as I can because I really felt the tears. Its not a surprise that Opera and music from Wolfgang Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven stimulates the brain more than… well Beyonce, Lil Wayne, and Kelly Clarkson.
Makes you think (well if your listening to just popular music and such, maybe you can’t think at all lol) about what most of us listens to and just how good it really is. Since art and music is generally a reflection of society, what does this say about society? LOL
Well, it looks like he is currently on tour with Elizabeth Marvelly (who is that???) and does have an album out (not recent). I may just get this album and review it from a standpoint of a guy who has no clue as to what opera should sound like lol
Paul Potts was born in Bristol on the 13th of October 1970, one of four children to a bus driver father and a mother who worked in a local supermarket. An ordinary schoolboy who later claimed he had been bullied as a child, his jobs on leaving school were also at a supermarket (stacking shelves), and at the time he entered Britain’s Got Talent he was working for the Bridgend branch of the Carphone Warehouse, a mobile phone retailer. In 1999 he had his first taste of television when he appeared on the Michael Barrymore show My Kind of Music and won enough money to enable him to travel to Italy and take singing lessons at a summer school. He sang with the Bath Opera, a local amateur company, and performed the roles of Don Basilio in The Marriage of Figaro, Don Ottavio in Don Giovanni, and the Herald in Turandot. He also toured Italy and sang with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, all of which caused some controversy on the Britain’s Got Talent show, which was supposed to be for undiscovered talent, but Potts‘ response to this was that he had never been paid for any of the performances — he had personally paid for all his training and even the Italian tour was part of the course.
Even that is inspiring. I am not for keep trying without really analysing how you can actually succeed, but this guy really believed in himself and his dream and he did it.
As Diddy would say, Lock In to your dream. Lock it in.
The Truth Wristband is a wearable device that dynamically reflects your psycho-emotional response to the world, promoting internal states to be externalized and made into interactive forms of expression. Measuring the galvanic skin response (a marker of emotional arousal commonly used in lie detector tests), this devices lights turn from blue to red as the wearer becomes aroused. Ask the wearer an evocative question and reveal his or her inner Truth
(because with a few million I am sure its possible)
To me, its too imposttible to be true… but could it? This is a design done by Kootouch that is getting some internet buzz. It looks like this was done for a design competition held by Yonko Design. First saw this on a site while looking at a pair on couture shoes and eventually ended up at Boing Boing and finally to KooTouches blog.
Anyway, wouldn’t it be fun if this could be something that can be done?
I have to admit, I totally agree with most of what he is saying. Many people have NO IDEA how business works. I am begining to think some pople think business is magic, like Lucky Charms or something.
So people will get mad that Youtube will try to actually make money off of a site that is NOT making money. People use it to an N’th degree but somehow becuase it is being used so much that it must be profitable. Wrong.
Its hard to advertise Trix cereal next to a guy spitting explitives and talking about liking squirl nuts.
I personally have some idea how how Youtube and other sites can earn more money, but it still won’t be enough to pay for all the bandwidth they expend just on playing the videos. So what happenes? Site redesign. probably one of a few designs that will come down the pike to try to make YouTube profitable.
I am looking forward to seeing it, because I like YouTube, but they won’t last bleeding money like they are now.
The Death of Youtube???
(redesign hurts the little guy)
(or does it???)
