The current season of Survivor has been off the hook, but I especially loved tonight’s episode. There was so much tension and garbage aired out it was almost uncomfortable to watch, and I loved every moment of it. But I was especially happy to see Candice leave tonight, oh, and stay at Exile Island for a fourth night.
I never liked how she left that one tribe, but what really got on my nerves was her overly obsessive PDA relationship with Adam.Â
No matter what, you can overcome your past,” he said. “With help, if you look to God, you can overcome your past and be reborn.”Hmm. That’s an interesting quote. You may be wondering who said it. Sounds like it would be from a prominent evangelical leader, or maybe someone with a powerful testimony, or perhaps a youth pastor hoping to break through to a crowded room of young people.
Or, would you believe, Rocky Balboa?
Or, to be more accurate, Sylvester Stallone, the actor who created and starred in the iconic series of films about the down-and-out boxer who became the heavyweight champion of the world — several times over several movies.
Stallone spoke of being reborn in a teleconference with pastors and religious leaders concerning the faith elements of the unlikely sixth movie that’s due out Dec. 22.
Hopefully it’s just not a ploy to try to sell movie tickets.
Thanks for the link, Bone!
U.S. Bans Sale of IPods to North Korea
The Bush administration wants North Korea’s attention, so like a scolding parent it’s trying to make it tougher for that country’s eccentric leader to buy iPods, plasma televisions and Segway electric scooters. The U.S. government’s first-ever effort to use trade sanctions to personally aggravate a foreign president expressly targets items believed to be favored by Kim Jong Il or presented by him as gifts to the roughly 600 loyalist families who run the communist government.
Kim, who engineered a secret nuclear weapons program, has other options for obtaining the high-end consumer electronics and other items he wants.
But the list of proposed luxury sanctions, obtained by The Associated Press, aims to make Kim’s swanky life harder: No more cognac, Rolex watches, cigarettes, artwork, expensive cars, Harley Davidson motorcycles or even personal watercraft, such as Jet Skis.
This guy is selling his soul:Â
Let me start by saying this is not a publicity stunt. This is a real contest. The winner of my soul will enter into a binding contract that offers them specific benefits of soul ownership.
I’m sure this seems a bit strange, a person selling his soul like this. However, I can assure you that I am perfectly sane.
Every day people sell their souls for far less than what I am asking for through this website. But rather than sell my soul for a paycheck in corporate America, I am selling my soul to the community, and making a commitment to give back to the community.
