I did not know of this site until I was contacted by them for permission to include one of my photographs in their online city guides. The site is called SCHMAP.

Here is the photo they decided to include in their online city guide for the city of San Diego:



and here is the link to the guide that has my photograph:

Although I am not getting paid for this, It's still cool to have a photograph included in a high traffic web site.

HTC Touch Pro Sprint

Out of all the current phones available for Sprint, the HTC Touch Pro takes the cake! It is WAY better than the Instinct and it is a better choice of a smart phone than the Palm Treo 800w.

First off, don't get me started with the Instinct as I have said it before and I'll say it again, it's GARBAGE! BASURA! Anyway, if you are looking for a smart phone, this is it. It has the best of both worlds, it has a touch screen keyboard and a pull out physical keyboard. It is a little on the bulky side.




The phone runs Windows Mobile 6.1 and unlike any other Windows Mobil phones available on the Sprint Network, this one has the ability to send photo mail. Sprint, while a little late, finally listened to customers gripes. I am amazed! The phone could be a little sluggish at times but that is to be expected from WM phones.

I like that fact that if you search you can find many applications for the WM platform. Sure it's no iphone but the Instinct isn't even close to being a Windows Mobile phone. On the HTC, I'm able to run Twitter from tinytwitter, it comes with the trio of instant messangers, AIM, MSN, and Yahoo. On this phone you are able to recieve you email from outlook, gmail and others.

One of the best things about this phone is the HTC 3D Touch Flow software that runs over the WM 6.1 platform. This software creates easy access to some phone features without having to go into the WM software.

Out of the two phones I have tried out, this third one was the charm. When I tried the Palm Treo 800w, the battery on this thing was horrible! When I tried the Samsung Instinct, the thing that upset me the most was that this thing, the Insticnt is nothing but a piece of crap phone that now t-mobile has their look alike version.

There is a lot more for the HTC but I think this is enough. In my opinion this is by far the best phone Sprint has to offer if you want a phone that has it all.

Samantha Musa - American Idol

Many many months ago, a beautiful young lady by the name of Samantha Musa hit the American Idol Auditions in San Diego that caught a lot of men's attention by storm! I know she caught my eye that I just had to post the clip on youtube! This is the beautiful young lady that made it to hollywood but later on disappeared.



Well my video on youtube is still causing waves and hopesully she tries again next time around because even though I DON'T watch American Idol, I do watch the try outs especially when they happen around Southern California.

Here is the video for all you Samantha Musa fans. And here is her myspace!

Exercise and excuses

In this life we have excuses. Excuses for everything. Why? Because we're lazy. Admit it. We humans are lazy when we want to do something that doesn't motivate us.


Now let's get into the topic of exercise. Why is it so hard for us to try to get into shape? I am always hearing excuses, "I'm too busy", "I have kids", "I'm married", "I'm too tired" and the list goes on and on.




Then we have the complaints. "I'm too fat", "I have a gut", "I need to stop eating", and this list goes on and on.

Then we have the miracle products, all those infomercial pills, fad diets, and things that are supposed to do the work for you.





And lastly, we have the new years resolutions that we know only last a few months and you know who ends up winning? The fitness centers as this is when they make their money! They make their money off people that make the year commitment to pay them but never attend the gym.

Let me give you my story. I have the opposite problem of an overweight person. I'm a 32 year old man, 5'8 tall, thin, 155 lbs. That's my ideal weight for my height. But I was no where near in shape as I would of loved to be. I got tired of being skinny and scrawny so I decided to do something about it. For the passed 9 months (since Feb 2008) I have been hitting the gym. Every day with a few days of rest in between but I have made working out part of my routine, like washing clothes or making food. In 9 months of weight lifting I have improved on how much I can lift and with that comes a very toned body. I am still not where I want to be but I am very satisfied with my body. I see a difference in my body. This all happened because I am not chasing "magic pills" and "fad diets" or gimmick gym products. All these advertised products give the impression that if you just stick to this you you can just lay there living the same lifestyle and the pounds will magically disappear. People WAKE up. There is NO magic diet!! Get off your lazy bon bon eating ass and get active! MOVE!! Do something. Sure you can still do the fad diets but exercise should be in order!

Most people wouldn't even complain about what they eat if they kept a constant exercise program. Take me for instance, I cannot gain weight to save my life, but I never know when my body is going to quit and let me gain tons of weight. My with my constant exercise program, I never fear about eating the wrong things and gaining weight because I know my exercise will take care of that.

Stop making new years resolutions and do something about it NOW! Don't wait till after the holidays to start. If you start now, then you can eat almost anything meanwhile you know you're burning fat by hitting the gym. And not saying to eat ANYTHING. Eat what you eat in moderation, then start altering what you eat. But when the times comes to eat for celebrations or holidays you wont feel guilty because you know you're burning at the gym. And once you hit your ideal weight it is NOT time to quit. This is the time where you maintain the healthy weight!




How many times have you heard (ESPECIALLY WOMEN) I need to lose weight to fit into this dress for (insert occasion here)?




If you kept exercising you would NOT need to cram exercise! Motivate yourself, do something about it. Stop being jealous of your sexy fine ass co- worker that looks like this:



And don't be mad when your man eyes other women that look like that. If you want your man to just look at you, have pride in yourself and don't let yourself go! Same goes to men, stop looking like slobs and get back in shape! Have pride in yourself! Do something about it! There IS no easy or fast solution. It's going to take some time but if you keep at it, you will see results and you will feel so much better about yourself!

Samsung Instinct from Sprint

I have a Gripe and it's called the Samsung Instinct from Sprint. This phone is a poor excuse for a PDA/Smart Phone/iPhone competitor. I would rather called this a Dumb phone.



I never compared the speed of the internet of the iphone compared to the instinct but one thing I will tell you that I have an ipod touch and I was suckered into buying the instinct and let me tell you that the instinct has nowhere near the amount of applications the iphone has. The iphones interface is a lot smoother, the overall feel if the iphone/ipod touch is superior. Sure the instinct has video/picture mail but that is not enough to make the instinct superior to the iphone.

My suggestion to you is not to buy this garbage. Look, Apple is a hardware software company. Most of everything Apple produces is a winner with design and ease of use. The Instinct is just bunch of electronic components slapped up together to capitalize on the iphone craze. I sure did not see ANYONE lining up at the Sprint store dying to buy an Instinct. If you're expecting to get equal use of the Instinct as an iphone you are sadly mistaken.


Two weeks into owning an Instinct I realized that I could not do SHIT with it. NO APPS, ok let me rephrase that, ONE app for use with twitter and it sucked. You go to the sprint store and you can't find any apps. The phone is garbage. If you want a smart phone that will kill your craving for an iphone on sprint, it will have to be the HTC Touch Pro. But you'll have to do research on that phone because I barely have 3 days with it and I'm still trying to figure it out.

So you have an instinct and you're telling all your friends "look I bought an instinct and it's fast on the internet" and they ask, what else does it do? does it have applications? games? (have you played Pac man on the instinct? PATHETIC!!!) On the other hand, someone buys an iphone and they say "look i have an phone, it has twitterrific, pownce, facebook, myspace, aol radio, pandora, ESPN cameraman, ebay, paypal, ibowl, lander, tap tap, a kick ass media application and the list goes on and on! The instinct on the other hand has a SUCK ASS APPLICATIONS meaning NONE! And a few months into selling this phone, still have not gotten their act together and it looks like they are getting ready to abandon this phone. Used to be the first phone on the Sprints phone gallery. Now they moved it to the bottom.

Sprint, my message to you is this, if you're going to compete, DO A FUCKING GOOD JOB, if you're going to make a half assed piece of shit phone, why waste your time? You KNOW EXACTLY what I am talking about. Piece of shit poor excuse of a iphone Un-competitor.

If you notice the commercials for both phones, only show internet download speed for Instinct but iphone? The commercials shows all the apps, games, music, video.

Yeah I am pissed and I'm expressing myself!

We have brains!!!

"We have brains!" and so do I! I thought as I laughed at the sign at El Gordo restaurant! In case you didn't know, some Mexican food involves some gross cow parts like bains, Brain tacos or Tacos de Cesos. I don't like "tacos de cesos" I think it's gross. But injoy the pictures because we all have brains too!

THIS is the muffin top we're talking about.

I just want to say that not all muffin tops are bad. A little but of muffin is perfectly fine. Something along the lines of this:




On girls like this, the Muffin top AKA love handle is perfectly ok!

However on a girl that looks like this:

Not so attractive!!!

I want to thank reader: Greg & Sheryl. (warning: Greg & Sheryl link is intended for a mature audience, enter at your own risk)

until next time. And believe me, there WILL be another post about muffin tops in the near future!

My problem with Digg.com

I have been a digg user almost from the time it started. My user named was banned because I posted a link twice in my comments. The nerds all had a fit and I guess it was considered some form of abuse. Anyways, I opened another account. SO FUCK YOU NERDS! Get a girlfriend or something!

I loved Digg a lot in the beginning. The thought of user submitted articles all on the front page because of what was submitted was interesting. But something happened. The users figured out a way to cheat the system.

Ok so we got this straight, that digg.com is or was a social bookmarking website where only the most popular submitted stories make it to the front page. But it has turned to something different. It is NOT about the most popular stories. Now it's about the most popular users and their so called digg-friends. It seems that now people only digg stories based on the friends that dugg them. If you are a user that doesn't have friends added to the list, you're NOT going to get your submitted story dugg. This is why you see the same user names time and time again. These people are NOT reading the stories they are just using the "trigger finger" on the people that dugg their stories.

If you recall the mrbabyman submissions where multiple stories were dugg within a matter of seconds, why? Because the faster he diggs those people, the faster they digg him thus propelling him to the front page.

This is the sort of activity that is making digg fall apart. Everyone deserves an equal chance to get to the front page. But when you have people monopolizing the front page, how is that any different from say, CNN's front page? Might as well hire mrbabyman as an editor or a writer because he and multiple people pulling this same crap, are dictating what goes to the front page. Sometimes I wonder who dugg some REAL LAME shit to make it to the front page. Wonder no more. If you don't play the game, no matter how interesting your article is, it wont get dugg just because you don't add friends so that you can trade diggs. That's just real sad.

I know this isn't something that can be "caught" because no TOS is being broken, But this activity is unethical. It's like buying a trophy, not earning it, but falsely claiming you won it. Until people start acting like real diggers, digg is going to continue to decline in quality.

Been a while

Wow, it's been a while since my last post. I just want to apologize for any reader that has been waiting for me to update. Sorry but life gets in the way sometimes. I had a post but I had to rethink it because I think it was a little too much. I don't want to over do it. I just want to stay edgy. Anyway, stay tuned as I got some free time to think of some very interesting topics soon.

Outragedman!
