No wonder people hate America

Last night I was watching a little T.V. and stopped on MTV for a bit and some stupid show that gets on my nerves was on but for whatever reason I decided to watch a few minutes and was so mad within a few minutes that I had to turn the channel. It was this show called "Sweet 16" or something like that. It is a reality show all about these teenagers who turn 16 and who’s parents throw them a huge (and I mean huge) sweet 16 party. Well all of the kids are complete spoiled brats. In this episode the girl turning 16 was no different. She was talking to the camera about how she was turning 16 and that her grandparents were going to buy here a new car probably a Lexus, Audi or BMW or something.

So then they cut to her and her grandparents in their SUV and they are on the way to the dealership. The Grandmother tells her that she spoke to the man at the dealership and he assured her that they had some great used cars about 4 years old. The girl then goes ballistic, "What? Used! 4 years old! I don't think so! I am getting a new car!" Well they get there and the salesman shows them around and shows them some very nice used cars that the girl turns down. Then they go inside and there is a brand new Audi sedan with a big red bow on top with her name on it.

When I was 16 I was grateful just to be able to drive my dad's Buick. Now I realize that this obviously does not represent every American but it made me realize why the world hates America. All they see are the Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie types on T.V. Then throw in all of the negative war news, political scandals, and a few other things I can't think of and there you have the reasons why we are hated. World citizans...please don't think we are all like the Americans you see on TV. Americans...stand up and prove them wrong!

My Celebrity look-alikes!

Ha ha, check out my celebrity look a likes below on the side. Now believe it or not... someone actually did say they thought I looked a little like Leo DiCaprio once as well as George Clooney. I just love it that the computer chose Forest Whitaker though, thats freakin hilarious! You guys should totally go to that website and do your own.

The Cow Statue in Delft


Some time ago I went to Delft and posted all sorts of pictures on my blog about it (remember me getting propositioned by the prostitute?). Well just last week I was watching T.V. here and realized that they were filming this show in a small square in Delft that I had been to. I knew this because there on the T.V. was the cow statue! Sadly the statue did not make my earlier entry on Delft so I thought I would post it today for all to enjoy. It is now a famous staute so now it can be on my blog.

Me before loosing the 24 pounds

Well I am not bragging but since I have been here I have already lost 24 pounds! I thought I would post the before and after pics. They are not full body but you get the idea. Click the pic to enlarge. It is almost like looking at two different people I think. Just keep in mind the before pic wasn't a good pic of me anyway.
