Here we are in the time of the year that you either love, hate or could really care less about. Me….when I was little I loved it. Fall has always been my favorite time of the year, well except for all the rain we get here in the lovely Seattle, Washington area. It is so green here during the summer months and you don’t really notice that a lot of the trees you are looking at are not evergreens…when you look at the mountains…all the trees look the same. Big, tall, and an evergreen pine version of a tree. Then Fall hits…and you get to a point where you look at those same hills again and you see the big evergreen trees that you can count on the stay that deep beautiful green all year long…but mixed in with it now you see trees that have leaves which are turning beautiful shades of red, orange and yellow. It’s really beautiful here in the fall. Then sadly those trees eventually loose their leaves as it gets colder and colder…and you now have brown twiggy things mixed in with the big evergreens. Oh well…just like Angelina Jolie….it was gorgeous while it lasted…but all outer beauty fades away at some point. Sorry Angelina…but the truth sucks…of course you have enough money to prolong the inevitable I’m sure. And my smart ass little comment leads me into what then starts to hit you this time of the year. At least, that is, in the good ole’ USA…

If you are a fan of horror movies then White Noise 2 is a pretty good movie and worth a watch in the theatre because of its visual effects. The starting is a little disappointing but then the movie picks up and the story is worth a watch. Nathan Fillion has given his level best in terms of acting and performance as a husband/father who loses his family meaninglessly in a restaurant in splits of seconds right in front of him. This is a big shock to him and later he commits suicide as he didnot try and save them. This is when the main story starts where he experiences a near to death situation and is able to see the “white light”. Moreover, he can see an aura around people who are going to die, and decides to save such people and make it a new purpose in his distorted life. There are many scary moments during the movie and the mystery of the murder is a seat grabbing experience.

Ok…so went to see the movie Step Brothers the other night. Now…this movie is rated ‘R’, I’m making a point of saying this for a reason. The movie is about a man and woman who meet, fall in love, realize that they each have a son pushing 40 who lives at home…and they get married….aaawwwww how sweet. And you know it’s going to be an “interesting” movie when it has Will Ferrell in it. Oh..and you also know it’s going to be a bit cheesy…but good for a laugh if you need one.

Today I am going to talk about different laptops available in the market. The reason I am going to do this, is because I had to research for 1 month in order to come to a conclusion of which laptop to purchase. This will be less of a comparison and more of information related to each brand and what they really offer. The brands I am going to talk about are Acer, Apple, Dell, HP, IBM, LG, Sony, and Toshiba. Out of these, I have personally used Acer, Apple, Dell, HP, Sony, and Toshiba.

Since both of these phones, that is iPhone 3G and Blackberry have constantly been compared with each other and considered as an ultimate rivalry, I will provide my view about both the phones.
When it comes down to buying a phone, let me list down a few points which are important to everyone. Battery Life, screen size and resolution, internet speed and browser interface, phone interface, user-friendliness, email configuration and interface, network reception, third party applications and last but not the least, is it trendy or good enough to be seen with it.
I will be comparing all those points with both the phones.

2:57 p.m on September 10, 2008, Dubai : Earthquake was felt by me and many other people who I spoke to. I am guessing this will be the first blog reporting the earthquake, even before the local newspapers will. All I can say is that it felt like I was dizzy and wanted to throw up. Maybe I am stupid that I am writing a blog article instead of going below my building and saving myself, but I just wanted to write about this. I have no clue of why there is an earthquake or the Richter scale of it, but it sure was quite a long tremble of at least 5-8 seconds. God Bless everyone in Dubai, and nothing happens to this place
Cya!

The prices of crude oil have been fluctuating for quite sometime, and I don’t understand the reason behind it. There are several reasons reported by different news agencies, but there is no definite answer to it. The prices have risen from $25 a barrel in 1997, and went to a record high of $140+ in 2007. Would this be considered as speculation? I am going to provide my opinion on this whole issue. The prices rising up so much has caused a lot of changes to economies of the world. Moreover, if Iraq was conquered and their oil fields were put in use, I feel, this should have brought the oil prices low. But instead increased them. Moreover, there was an article in the newspaper which states that 30% increase in oil prices are due to the falling dollar (Link to the article). This brings about another topic of why the dollar is falling? Well, because of the amount of money borrowed to conquer Iraq, maybe the dollar weakened. But there are other people stating that it could be because of America buying more stuff from other countries, and exporting comparatively way less. (Link to the Article). My personal belief is, if I invade Iraq, and I use money to invade it, and then I retrieve oil from it, then it should break even, and not cause so much of panic. The reason I am taking a topic into consideration because I live in Dubai and the dollar is pegged to the local currency. Therefore, all these situations have caused major changes to Dubai. I personally would like to hear everyone’s comments on what they feel could be the reason for such a major change in the crude oil price, and also, how is it being controlled? I mean, is it a group of people, or is it like by one person. Because according to OPEC, the oil production was never reduced, and the world population cannot double in just a span of two years. According to this article (Link to the article) it is not the falling dollar, but other reasons like the OPEC is not ready to increase output. It is a confusing state, and I will try and find out more about the whole situation. But currently, the oil price is $102.22 on September 10, 2008. I wish, it would return to a regular of $60 a barrel, where everything is normally priced, and it doesn’t affect the poor. After all, the rich is getting richer and the poor is getting poorer in this whole speculation.
Please leave your comments.

I will be reviewing namepros.com. The site is a forum which relates to domaining. First of all, I have been a member of namepros since April 2008. Since then, I have been reading many articles about how people make money online and help each other in different ways regarding their site or any matter.
Good Points:
1) The members in namepros are very helpful. I have asked the most stupidest questions ever someone can ask, and still i have many replies by the members helping me out. They are very helpful and will try to help you to the maximum. Also, there is a special section for introducing the newbies. All I can say is, every newbie is given a warm welcome like a family member.

So, went to see Hellboy 2 this last weekend. Seriously, when you go to see a movie like this, you know you are not going to be going to see some epic life changing film. You are most likely going to it because you want to be amused. You don’t expect the movie to be perfect, you know it won’t be, that’s ok.
I enjoy movies like this one, because they are so far fetched that they are just fun to watch. So what’s it about? Did you see the first Hellboy movie? If you didn’t…you should, good thing is that they give you a quicky reminder of who Hellboy is and how he came to live with the humans, etc. I’m not going to give anything away don’t worry….

One of the things I do for fun, and to mellow out is play poker online. There are a few things I’ve noticed while I’ve been playing. The biggest item I noticed is that well, there are some really fun people out there playing poker. There are also some not so fun folks playing, and then there are some who are just flat out jerks. I mean get real, it’s a virtual game!!
I’m not going to say that I’m a flirt, I’m friendly. There’s a difference, no really, there is. What gets me though is that most of the time I don’t have to do a dang thing and some guy is pouncing like a panther. I can be playing an innocent game of poker when all of a sudden I have some guy saying hi to me. Innocent enough right? Normally yes. Most people if you are nice enough to chat will ask where you are from, blah blah blah…. I am talkative..uh if you read the ‘About Us’ I warned you of that one right? Ok..so..I like talking and I have no problem telling someone where I’m from, and I love to find out where other folks are from too. What freaks me out….is when some guy asks you ohhhh…3 or 4 things and then all of a sudden is telling you that they love you!!! Seriously, I thought that women were the ones to pop that little phrase outta their mouths too fast…..not the guys. Had one guy recently tell me that he wanted to marry me…um…small problem dude….oh forget it…why bother to explain.
