Compelling and Rich (and hilarious)

Wow this is compelling video!  It’s a tad long (over 9 minutes) but it’s awesome.  What is it all about?  Well some students at NYU took over the school cafeteria for 3 days and demanded various stupid things like scholarships for Palestinian students, etc.  What you see is the situation completely falling apart as the police rush in and put a stop to such ridiculousness.  

The best part?  The very last minute of the video when the students go through their gear to document their valuables before they get confiscated by the authorities.

Damon’s Wisdom of the Day

Much like Muslims and terrorism, not all Apple users are crazy nut-cases.  But all crazy nut-cases use Apple.  LOL!

Political Blog

Just so you know, I have made a big change in my blogging habits.  I now have a political blog where I attempt to make witty, sometimes funny, thought-provoking and HOPEFULLY discussion/comment inducing posts.  Check it out and bookmark it!

Lesson: Sharks Are Not Respecters of Persons

I’m no sadist, but there is something rather ironic about this.  Meet Brian Guest, a 51 year old Australian man.  Brian had a pretty good life, living well and spending as much time as he could in and around the beautiful Pacific Ocean.  Mr Guest loved ocean wildlife and he worked hard for years of his life to convince the Australian government to protect one of the most magnificent and elusive predators on earth, the Great White Shark.  He was largely successful in this work, helping push a grass-roots effort to offer more judicial power to punish those who mercilessly attacked these wonderful animals.

Yesterday, while swimming a few meters off shore searching for crabs on the ocean floor, Brian was calmly approached (and swallowed) by a resident Great White.  The Great White, who had no idea that this was THE Brian Guest who was working so hard for his safety, calmly chewed and swallowed down his morning meal, spitting out the utterly tasteless wetsuit and moving on to afternoon tea. 

Hellllllooooo?  This was BRIAN GUEST!!!!  Talk about biting the hand that feeds you!

Some sharks have NO manners.  Honestly.

Ho Ho Ho

And for my obligatory Christmas Eve post…

Damon’s Bad Parenting Tip of the Day:

Don’t prank your kid until they reach an age where they can APPRECIATE the prank.  In other words, don’t do what you see in the following clip.  Ever.  Even though it might strike you as an amusing gag, its a sure-fire way to get yourself murdered by your disgruntled child.

Enjoy!  (I admit I found this clip TOTALLY disturbing, and yet the slightest bit funny.  In a really twisted way!)
