I was filling out an app when I hit the question section and I couldn't believe what they were asking...

It wasn't too bad at first.


But the question started to get


way too paranoid


even for me.

Really? Really?

I have lived here in Texas for about two months and these are the things that still just take me by surprise.

• Open car windows, I walk down the street and everyone's car windows are rolled down. I know it is hot but doesn't anyone worry about their stuff getting stolen.

• Once the sun goes this place is freaking dark, even the street lights around here barely shed any lights on the street.
  

• People will tell you their whole life story after meeting you for only two seconds.

I have no idea what made Sara have the urge to make Onion Rings, but then again when have I ever questioned a chance at food.

Stuff You Will Need:
1 Large Onion
pot of cooking oil
cup of flour
cup of buttermilk pancake mix
1 egg
cup of milk
pepper, seasoning salt
plate
paper towels

Lets Begin, preheat your pot of cooking oil on medium for about ten minutes.



Slice your onion.



Mix the ingredients in a bowl until it is smooth.



Dip the onion in the batter then place in the oil *CAREFULLY*.

Make sure not to place too many in the oil at once or they will stick together.



Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on one side.



Then flip and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown.



Remove from oil letting the excess drip off for a second.



Place on plate with paper towel to soak up any extra oil.

Repeat previous steps



Reward yourself with Onion Rings, I prefer mine with Ketchup

I have been noticing lately that Myspace is trying to be more like Facebook even down to the chat bar at the bottom.

So, I think it would be interesting if Facebook were to acquire Myspace from Rupert Murdoch and then merged the two products to make Myfacebook.com. You would have the ablilty to choose between a Myspace or Facebook templete and even switch to the other one later. Your friends list would be universal so no matter which service you use you could talk to people on the other one. Myspace Music and Video services could be intergrated into Facebook's Fan Pages.

To make it even more interesting would be if they could then buy Flickr and Skype to give the user more connecting ability and a larger reach on the internet.

It might be just me but I have noticed that wrestling doesn't have good guys (the babyface) anymore, just different degrees of bad guys. When I was a kid you knew who the good guys and bad guys were. As I grew up a large grey area appeared and some day the bad guy was the good guy and vice versa but at the end of the day you knew where everyone stood. The good guy would get jumped and you could count on another "good guy" running down and coming to the rescue.

Now wrestling is just a rollercoaster ride of one bad guy attacking the not so bad guy of this week. the "storyline" have simply degraded to being complete waste of time. I am starting to wonder if this is really the best way to go with this sport entertainment franchise.

Next you know it will just become a crappy version of UFC. No one wants that.

Lets be honest that the reason this is getting so much attention is for basically two reason. The first being that we don't expect "Television" personalities to be so vocal with their emotions. Humans are humans sometimes no amount of training or experience can stop something or someone from getting under your skin.

Reminds me of the video of Bill O'Reilly Flipping out:


The second comes down to the fact that Leo Laporte comes across as a relaxed and easy going guy. If Howard Stern or Rush Limbaugh blew up during a show no one would be shocked, but because Leo stepped outside the fatherly/good guy image people have placed on him it has become a big deal.

In this new world of cameras everywhere and on all the time, we the consumer need to move past the old idea of "Television" personalities not being human. If I called you out and talked shit to you while holding a Camera? Would you walk away or would you flip out on me?

One of the biggest hurdle for Bing is that most people use a certain search engine without even thinking about it. When I do a search for something I don't think about it, I just type it in the search window at the top of my browser. Bing is going to have to bring something pretty big to the table for me to change my default Search engine and to be honest I don't think it can be done.

In a world of Google, Yahoo, Ask.com, Alta Vista, Lycos, Excite, AOL and many more (Even Wolfram/Alpha), I don't see Bing being able to make a mark for itself other then being another "Nice Try" by Microsoft.

I noticed that lately most of the music video Beyoncé has released feature her dancing with two backup dancers. Which begs the question is she starting to miss Destiny's Child or is this just her new version of the former group (she gets all the attention and the other two girls are just in the background.)
