Another reason why the olden times were funny. If you have a dog, yet, hate transporting it inside the confines of your car, hang it out on the window! Fido sure will enjoy the wind in his face, and the seasonal thrills, such as pouring rain, snow, and hail!
THANK GOD the times have changed. Can you imagine if this idea actually flew? Idea FAIL, fo sho.

The Michael Phelps Backlash
So, the more important issue of my post should be that Time Magazine, for their annual Person of the Year issue, picked Barack Obama as their #1 person this year. Deservingly so, the man got people of all walks of life excited about politics, and won the most exciting and history-making election of our time. But what I really want to talk about here is Micheal Phelps. He came in as one of Time's People Who Mattered in 2008, and also deservingly so. The man got the world glued to the Olympics, and shed a new interest in the sport of swimming, and kept breaking records along the way, and made the last couple of weeks of summer incredibly exciting. He is one of my entertainers of the year, for sure. Yada yada yada. What I REALLY REALLY want to talk about runs a bit shallower than that. Oh, Michael, I don't know what you did to deserve this, but someone in Time's photo department hates you. HATES you!!
Omg. I have no words for this picture. You know how sometimes on Facebook, your friends will tag you in a picture where it's like a really unflattering angle, or there's a flash of a double/triple chin, or your eyes are half closed? And you get all embarrassed and angry, and immediately detag yourself? Well, this is like that, except a thousand times worse. He can't detag himself, and MILLIONS will see this photo. Yeah yeah, I'm sure he's flattered that Time Magazine thinks he's so important, and they wrote a nice blurb about why he mattered in '08, but really? This picture is so awful! Now, I'm in the minority of people who actually don't think Michael Phelps is a bad looking man. I mean, yeah his face is kinda long and he looks kinda underdeveloped in certain lights, but overall, he's like goofy looking (not always a negative thing) and hence oddly cute.
But even I am appalled by this photo. The constricting goggles, the weird bug-like effect the eyewear creates, the thick neck, the dumb expression...do you really need me to go on?? And this comes at the heel of another 'We're honoring you man, but uh, we're also going to torture you at the same time' awful picture- his Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year cover. Yuck, yuck, yuck. I don't know, Michael... You might have had the best.year.ever, but I think this is just the beginning of your downfall! So, stop hanging around with Vegas cocktail waitresses, stop being douche-y, and get back in the pool and do what you do best!! And now I'm gonna go YouTube your exciting summer races to erase this awful image of you from my mind. Bleh.

Picture of the Day
"This is our time, to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope. And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can."

These Are Some Amazing Fencing Photos
(Photo by Alexander Hassenstein)
I love photography. And I have been caught up in all this Olympics-mania. So you can imagine how happy I am to post these amazing pictures of the Women's fencing event taken by photographers from various news wires.
I mean, they are just awe-inspiring photographs. They perfectly capture the movements and emotions that make up the sport. Click here for the rest of the set or read more to check out the rest of my favorites and to see the fencers' cool Daft Punk-like helmets!

Crazy Pictures of the Day
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be colorblind? Despite what you may think, most people that are colorblind do not see the world in black and white. Most people are red-green colorblind, meaning those colors all look the same to them.
I recently found this site that shows how colorblind people see certain images. It kind of blew my mind and I thought that the site was exagerrating the results. However, after reading through the comments and showing a color-blind person the pictures, I have to say that it's pretty accurate.
Click here to visit the original site and see more examples of how colorblind people see the world.
