Women tired of your man looking at other women? New study says men are biologically  compelled to stare at the sexy and powerful. Scientists at Duke monitored the eye movements of  male Rhesus monkeys as they looked at photographs of fellow primates. When the monkey fixed his gaze upon a photo he was rewarded with a squirt of fruit juice. What the researchers found was that the monkeys where drawn to photos of power and sex, looking at alpha monkeys of both sexes.  But women are not off the hook either, both men and women have a strong tendency to monitor attractive and powerful people.

The visual monitoring takes place very rapidly and the offending person my not even realize it is happening. Men this still does not give us the right to turn our heads and stare for an extended amount of time.

So I want to know what do you think of this NEW research?

Minn. Ap - Two teenagers where charged  Tuesday in the killings of  Katricia Daniels   who was stabbed over 100 times and her son Robert Shepard who had a TV smashed over his head. The two boys convicted of this crime blames each other and both had said that robbery was the motive. But Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman does not buy it. Saying that the brutality of it does not fit a robbery and the only thing that was taken was the mothers cell phone.  The two teens that were charged are 17 yr. Edward Thompson and 16 yr. Brain Lee Flowers. The two allegedly knew Daniels's 15 year old son who lives in Chicago. Daniels's boyfriend Joseph Williams, found the bodies Thursday morning William's 1 - year - old daughter was bloody but unharmed.

I want to know what is happening to this country where we take life without even thinking about it. Have we not learned anything from 9/11? Is this what life means to people now nothing? 9/11 taught us a lot of things but the one thing that people seem to have missed was that life is too short!  Far be it for me to quote the Bible but what has happened to love thy neighbor? Now we well kill just to kill is that it? While our wonderful solders are fighting for us we in this country are killing each other for WHAT? MONEY? FOOD? FUEL? This is just too much!!!We need to remember who are real ememy is, and it is not each other!

Los Angeles - George Takei (Mr. Sulu) is to wed his longtime partner and business Manager, Brad Altman, now that the California Supreme Court has legalized same-sex marriage. 

Takie and Altman have shared more than 21 years together and are "overjoyed" to be legally married.

So what do you think? Happy for them? Think this is wrong?

Today I was in line in Wal-mart and this women was in front of me taking her time unloading her cart REALLY taking her time. Now I would have gone to a nother lane but there was not one opened except for those Bloody computer checkouts. So I waited and waited and waited and... Got well lets say  just say when you hear Oh my Irish blood got the best of me or  I am sorry my Irish temper got the best of me just now. It is not being said for nothing. My Irish temper did get the best of me!
So after my experience today I was wondering when is enough enough?

I am currently enrolled in Phcc community college where I hope to graduate with a degree in computer technology. I moved back here four years ago to be closer to my family. And in a surprising turn of events I actually found out that a relative I have never met but know of lives right here in Florida (Orlando) a cousin that I am looking forward to meeting one day very soon. Interesting Fact I am related to a very famous Missouri Governor!
