UP We Go !!!

UP!!! I swore I was going to watch this ever since I saw it's trailer last year when watching Iron Man.



When I first saw it, I was thinking...OMG someone has the same dream as me!!!

.

.

.

When I was young, I always fantasied about living on the road...in actual moving houses.

Like in a caravan.

There was something strangely appealing about being able to peer out into unfamiliar territory yet still feel right at home.

I longed for both the wondrous adventure of the unknown and the cozy warmth of home.

So the imagination of a 5 year old ran amuck...

and soon I wanted to tie balloons onto my own house to make it fly.

That was my compromise between magic and reality.

Not a plane for a house - too boringly practical.

Not wings sprouting from my house - so absurd, even a 5 year old knows that.

But a house flying on balloons...feasible yet still so magical.

It was perfect.

And now I realize that Pixar stole my dream!

Hm no, Carl stole it!



The Culprit.

Carl is a retired balloon salesman who stole my brilliant idea and tied thousands of balloons to house's roof. (It's not fair! I didn't have enough money to buy so many balloons at 5...)

I think he puts up a cold front but deep down...ok maybe deep deeeeep down he's actually a very kind soul.

Where is he going with his flying house? And WHY?

I sure hope he doesn't lose it with silly Russell around.. XD



Russell!!!

The unwitting stowaway on Carl's flying house...

and also the silliest, funniest and most adorable little boy I've ever seen!

I can't wait to see what sort of trouble that silly bum gets himself into!

.......and in some cases, what sort of "friends" he gets himself.......

.

.

.

I mean, LOOK at his friend.



Yea...his name is Kevin. 0_0

It is a 13 foot tall version of the Dodo bird for god's sake! (which, by the way are supposed to be gone from the face of the Earth)

What's next?

A talking dog?



And ladies and gentlemen, this is Dug - the talking dog.

Oh no.......

.

.

.

I'm so gonna watch UP!!

Saving The Planet Is Bullshit

My 2nd favourite video from George Carlin after Religion Is Bullshit!

The takeaway from this is...

"Saving The Planet" is bullshit!

All these environmentalists, activists, saints running around proclaiming that they are "Saving The Planet"...

.

.

.

.

Bullshit.

They just want to save their own asses.

It doesn't bode too well for them when they are wading in knee-high water melted from the poles does it?

.............

Don't get me wrong...I'm all for saving my own ass.

But I don't do that in the name of ... Saving The Planet ! ~

As old George says...

The planet is fineeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, the PEOPLE are f***ed.

Maybe we should start having SAVE OUR ASSES campaigns instead of SAVE THE PLANET campaigns, SAVE OUR ASSES Day instead of Earth Day...

Perhaps only when we drop this whole noble and holy pretense of Saving The Planet and admit that all we really want to do is not become an ice fossil in the next Ice Age,

Another Religious Email

DID YOU KNOW THESE FACTS?

I SURE DIDN'T TILL NOW

Death is certain but the Bible speaks about untimely death!

Make a personal reflection about this.....

Very interesting, read until the end.....

It is written in the Bible (Galatians 6:7):

'Be not deceived; God is not mocked:

for whatsoever a man sow,

that shall he also reap.

Here are some men and women

who mocked God :

John Lennon (Singer):

Some years before, during his interview with an American Magazine, he said

'Christianity will end, it will disappear.

I do not have to argue about
that. I am certain.

Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, today we are more famous than Him' (1966).

Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times.

Tancredo Neves (President of Brazil ):

During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency.

Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made President, then he died.

Cazuza (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer and poet):

During A show in Canecio ( Rio de Janeiro ), while smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air and said:'God, that's for you.'

He died at the age of 32 of LUNG CANCER in a horrible manner.

The man who built the Titanic

After the construction of Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be.

With an ironic tone he said:

'Not even God can sink it'

The result: I think you all know what happened to the Titanic

Marilyn Monroe (Actress)

She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show.

He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her.

After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said: 'I don't need your Jesus'.

A week later, she was found dead in her apartment

Bon Scott (Singer)

The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On one of his 1979 songs he sang:

'Don't stop me; I'm going down all the way, down the highway to hell'.

On the 19th of February 1980, Bon Scott was found dead, he had been choked by his own vomit.

Campinas (IN 2005)

In Campinas , Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend.....

The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter holding her hand, who was already seated in the car:

'My Daughter, go with God and may He protect you.'

She responded: 'Only If He (God) travels in the trunk, cause inside here.....it's already full '

Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died,

the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact.

The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, none was broken.

Christine Hewitt (Jamaican Journalist and entertainer)
said the Bible (Word of God) was the worst book ever written.

In June 2006 she was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor vehicle.

Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus.

Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive.

'Jesus'

PS: If it was a joke, you would have sent it to everyone.

So are you going to have courage to send this?.

I have done my part, Jesus said

'If you are embarrassed about me,

I will also be embarrassed about you before my father.'

You are my 8 in 8 seconds. I am not breaking this. No way!

I'M TOLD THIS WORKS!!!!! Bishop T.D. Jakes '8 Second Prayer.' Just repeat this prayer and see how God moves!!

'Lord, I love you and I need you, come into my heart, and bless me, my family, my home, and my friends, in Jesus' name. Amen.'

Pass this message to 8 people {EXCEPT YOU AND ME}. I Hope that you don't ignore and
let God bless you.

REGARDS,

BJ

When I read this chain email, I thought...

What hogwash, tosh and codswallop!

.................

Is this the message they want to send out to people?

That God killed all those people, and most of them in brutal ways for their careless remarks?

A mistake in the moment for some of them, a miss in time...we ARE human right?

You are telling me God drowned 1523 people on the Titanic for something a bloody walking ego said?

Yes, I believe people are going to tell me that the email was written by an ass and is not true, or not representative of God's will or whatever.

But you can't deny it is how Christians in general propagate their religion,

by instilling fear.

It is built into the whole system, no use saying you are "giving them hope" or "saving them"...they need to fear before they buy that.

I agree with George Carlin on this,

Thou shalt keep thy religion to thyself.

by the way, George Carlin, the one who dared God to strike him dead in his Religion Is Bullshit comedy routine lived till a good old 71 years.

Pocahontas Was Real But She Never Loved John Smith

Was poking around YouTube today when I found this lovely music video of the movie, The New World (movie version of Pocahontas).



Reading the comments, I made an astounding discovery.

Pocahontas and John Smith weren't lovers.

I proceeded to Wiki it and there it was.

"There is no suggestion in any of the historical records that Smith and Pocahontas were lovers."

Pocahontas was real.

She was 12 when she met John Smith who was 27.

They were just friends.

She was first married to this guy in her tribe.

Later at 19 she married John Rolfe, who grew tobacco and was 10 years older than her.

They had a son, Thomas Rolfe.

She died from smallpox at 22.

And one of my favourite movies from Disney was unceremoniously destroyed one lazy afternoon...

Fairy tales never felt further from reality.

Pooi!
