Beer Steak Bullshit

Haiti is a country that shares the island with the Dominican Republic – from where I have just returned after a week long vacation. While Dominican Republic is fine (aside from countless thieves), Haiti is suffering from results of 7.0 magnitude earthquake that struck the country on January 12, 2010. It is estimated that the earthquake killed between 100,000 and 200,000 people and lest 2 million homeless. To help with immediate aid, celebrities, musicians and bands from all over the world teamed up to put together a concert they are calling Hope for Haiti. The Hope for Haiti Telethon will be broadcast online so anyone interested will be able to watch in real time. Live Streaming will be provided by many major websites, including msn.ca, bing.com, facebook.com, myspace.com, youtube.com, etc.

Hope for Haiti Concert starts today – January 22, 2010 at 8pm ET. It will be hosted by George Clooney, Anderson Cooper and Wyclef Jean. The telethon will feature many stars and will take place at several places around the world:

Can you see me on this beach? No you can’t, because I’m not there yet. Not until tomorrow. I’m gonna head to bed early today, for my alarm clock goes off at 4am to get me ready to board a plane to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. This will be my 2010 edition of an unforgettable annual vacation in the Dominican Republic. I’m so excited…

I visited Dominican Republic last year (2009) but only got a chance to explore all of the north coast, from Puerto Plata, through Sosua, Cabarete, Rio San Juan, Cabrera, all the way to Samana peninsula where I spent most of my time. I wanted to go whale watching, but it didn’t work out for me. Hopefully this year and hopefully I’ll also get a chance to check out Los Haitises national park. I climbed the magnificent 27 waterfalls on the river Damajagua last year though, which was the highlight of my trip. However a horse ride to El Limon waterfall up the mountain was also exciting and a swim under thundering falls was enthralling.

This year I’m heading to Punta Cana and other than making it back to Samana to get some whale watching happening, I’m gonna focus on the east coast around Bavaro and some of the south. I love Dominican Republic. I’m renting an SUV for a week so I’ll be moving around. I don’t do all inclusive vacation stays at resorts. Last year was all about the Atlantic Ocean, 2010 will be more about the Caribbean Sea. It is quite likely that I won’t get a chance to get on the internet until after I have returned back to Canada on January 22, 2010 so Beer Steak Blog may not get any updates while I’m vacationing. It’s all for the good for after I have returned, my mind will be fresh and my body relaxed and I’ll be able to jump right on more bullshitting. Stick around, I got to go kick some ass in the Dominican Republic. This country is so awesome I go there every year. 2010 sounds like a good one. I so can’t wait.

Check out this video about the highlights of the Dominican Republic:

It’s a new phenomenon. New medical condition. Many people who went to see Avatar in 3D report that they have experienced post movie depression upon realization that they were back on Earth, not on Pandora. The world seems grey after you have taken off the 3D glasses as the last line of Avatar credits rolls off the screen. This is what 2010 will be all about – people depressed because of a movie.

I have seen Avatar and loved it. Yes, it is a story that’s been beaten to death and yes, you know exactly what happens next, yet I still enjoyed it. After the movie I’ve moved on. But let’s put all movie making aside and focus on Avatar Depression. As you will see in a video below, CNN did a report about it and to get to the right answers, they’ve invited two seriously dumb people to comment on the phenomenon. Both have no clue what the eff they’re talking about and both are irritating to listen to.

Jo Piazza who’s an entertainment writer for CNN sounds like she’s got walnuts in her throat (or some other nuts) and what she says is so out of whack I was tearing my own nuts off to shove them down her throat so she could just shut the eff up. Obviously, Ms. Jo Piazza must have just found out about the internet yesterday. I don’t know why they employ people who spent last two decades living in a cave, but then again, it’s CNN. They also kiss Barack Obama’s ass which says it all.

Jo Piazza doesn’t understand the internet. She doesn’t know that what people say on the internet does not necessarily reflect who they really are. These people often have no other life so their on line acquaintances represent the community they want to fit in with. They will do and say anything they have to in order to get attention, for they lack it in real life. Jo Piazza has no grasp of this phenomenon whatsoever. How can she understand the Avatar depression phenomenon if sheer basics escape her lacking smarts.

Psychotherapist Stacy Kaiser was a little bit less clueless with her responses but also doesn’t get firm grasp of reality either. Then again, since her title bears word “psycho” she’s doomed to not understand what real people deal with and feel. Psychologists are as clueless about real people as they get.

People exaggerate. This simple premise is often overlooked by so called experts. People also pretend to be, have, or feel what they are not, don’t have or feel. That’s the way people are. Furthermore, people are affected by their surroundings. They respond to stimuli offered by those they are in contact with. If there is going to be something bad looking out of the Avatar depression, it will be in response to weak minded individuals giving in to the momentum created by attention seekers. However those weak individuals would flip sooner or later anyway. They just need the trigger. And Avatar Depression could easily be one if they focus on it intensively enough.

Duh, input from “experts” never ceases to amaze me. Just how dumb do you have to be to let bullshit out of your mouth on national TV. And how dumb are the people to eat that along with cherry on top. We’re doomed. The world is grey and flat. I want to live on Pandora. The video is below:

It’s hard to imagine anything more humiliating than this. A customer in Burger King got really pissed off at something and went to vent his frustration with the building. He started by throwing his drink at the wall and followed by grabbing a chair which he intended to smash against door windows to break them to shards. He took a swing, ran towards the door and then bam – failed. You got to wait for it and see to laugh your stinky ass off, but the icing on the cake is the remark by the cameraman who concludes angry customer’s failure with “You fookin’ knobhead!” That’s when I went down laughing. Precious video.

Lauri Price used to work with the Cypress-Fairbanks school district in suburban Houston as a substitute teacher in Sigh Fair ISD but does no more. She was fired and is now forever labeled as a sexual predator for having an encounter with a minor. Lauri Price met 16 year old boy from Canada on the internet and her desire to have an underage penis inside her vagina made her fly to my country to meet with the boy and have sex with him. Sounds like something normal people would do, right? Well, not in this day and age. Lauri Price is now being featured under such headlines as “Predator Check” as can be seen from the Fox 26 report in the video below.

Houston Mother of four Lauri Price met the Canadian boy while playing an interactive game World of Warcraft on the internet in September 2008. The boy was 15 at the time. Through ongoing interaction and communication, Lauri Price got to know the boy and when he reached the age of 16, which is the age of consent in Canada, Lauri Price boarded a Canada bound plane to get that teenage cock in her mouth. She took her first trip to Barrie, Ontario where the boy lives in February of 2009 but got no teenage meat because the boy chickened out. She returned to Texas and continued to work on the boy on line until she got him all worked up and took another trip to Canada on December 29 – right after Christmas. Wild sex between a 42 year old substitute teacher from Texas and a 16 year old WoW fan from Canada took place in a hotel in Rosseau, 70 km from Barrie where the boy lived.

Lauri Price spent the New Years Eve in Canada and returned home on January 5th. She was arrested by the US authorities upon landing at Houston’s Bush Intercontinental Airport. Her time in Canada was spent with the boy who left the note at home that he was leaving with Lauri Price. His parents freaked out and alarmed the police. Since the boy was 16 year old, the Canadian RCMP did not have any case against Lauri Price, however they’ve ratted her out to the US police and let them know when she was planning to return. She was set up, the police were waiting for her and put a bitter end to an adventure of her lifetime.

Life is not fair. I’ve always said that and there are several cases of a teacher busting a nut of a teenage boy on Beer Steak Blog to prove my point. Why would Lauri Price not contact me instead when she was coming to Canada? I would pull my teenage looking cock out of my pants to let her have her way with it. Teachers know how to handle the meat. Must have been hell of an adventure for the boy too.

Video news report about Lauri Price from Houston is below:

Women are the root of all evil. It’s an undeniable fact but in case you haven’t yet figured it out completely, above is the video proof to set the record straight. The video is a footage recorded by a guy whose girlfriend (I presume) is trying to climb a hill but being a woman, she’s completely useless and clumsy and near kills herself falling down. Luckily, some nice man put giant boulder in the way to save her ugly ass so she is stopped before disaster could happen. In all her divine uselessness, stupid woman then disturbs the balance of the boulder that saved her life sending it crushing down near killing her boyfriend. What useless piece of skin around vagina. Women truly are the root of all evil. If she wasn’t there, the man would be having an enjoyable trek. Put a woman in picture and you end up with double disaster.

This video is all sorts of weird. A guy apparently walked into his local restaurant which looks like the seediest bar in bad neighborhood and inside there was former US president George Bush along with full entourage of bodyguards. What was George Bush doing in a seedy restaurant is unknown to me and why would he want to dine there is totally odd, but let’s go with the story. As our hero spotted George Bush, he silently walked out of said restaurant, went back into his car, took a video camera he had there, turned it on and walked back into the restaurant set to hackle the crap out of former president.

Video starts with some shaky footage during which the cameraman yells some anti Bush slogans, calls him a murderer and a piece of shit, and tells him that he won’t get his New World Order. The guy goes on with his charade and brings up the millions of deaths George Bush is responsible for. Nowhere in the video could I see George Walker Bush. The picture is unclear and shaky and never really offers any image that would identify George Bush. The guy is then pushed out of the restaurant by what is supposed to be ex president’s bodyguard while still hackling ex pres by calling him all sorts of names.

I’m having hard time believing this video. First of all, all we can see are some men in suits. Aged couple dining inside doesn’t give half crap about what’s going on. Guy with a camera goes on a rant about how people know what George Bush did and that we won’t let them start the New World Order or some shite and uses a lot of bad language. He is then banished from a public place? That’s where he lost me completely. I call shanenigans. Nice try, dude wanted to get his message across but it seems rather pathetic. I wish it was real.

Consumer Electronics Show 2010 that has just concluded in Las Vegas has created a lot of buzz. I was one of the excited observers who was especially focused on upcoming 3D TV sets. Needless to say, the 3D Television has generated most interest but there were some other gadgets worth a mention. Without further ado, let me take a brief look at the Best of Consumer Electronics Show 2010 and offer my own Consumer Electronics Show 2010 Review:

Consumer Electronics Show E-Readers Review

Given the digital age we have all submerged ourselves into, 2010 is without doubt all about the electronic media. As a result, many exhibitors at the Consumer Electronics Show displayed their e-readers and e-books. I personally don’t find any of those useable as I would either use my laptop to read on line news or would stick with paper print if I’m on an airplane or a bus. Even though some e-readers were made from flexible materials and allowed for being roller up, I still didn’t find it anything I would like to own.

Consumer Electronics Show Interactive Dashboard Review

Ford has introduced an in car system that will be up to par with latest computer technologies and will allow the users to connect to the internet and play interactive games. The MyFord Touch Dashboard will be featured in 2011 Ford Edge. This is pretty cool. I’m actually surprised cars are still not sold with this being a standard feature.

Consumer Electronics Show Skype on TV Review

LG and Panasonic will be equipping their connected HDTVs with webcam and Skype support so consumers will be able to make VOIP phone calls using their internet connection and big screen, high definition TV Set. This is cool. You’ll be able to see your girlfriend’s mug across your 50″ HDTV as you’re camming on Skype next time around. Cool stuff.

Consumer Electronics Show Sony SD Card Support Review

Sony cameras will now be available with support for Secure Digital memory cards. Sony used to only support their proprietary Memory Stick which really sucked and made for more expensive and non cross platform compatible solution. Quality of Sony cameras will remain shitty, but now you can have one that takes SD cards. All in all, you are the only one to blame if you opt for overpriced, underperforming cameras made by Sony. It’s akin to buying a Mac computer. It plain and simple = FAIL!

Consumer Electronics Show 3D Video Camera Review

Panasonic has introduced an end user camcorder that will record 3D videos (playable in 3D on 3D TV Sets). The camcorder is equipped with two lenses, each recording Full HD video on its SDHC card. The camcorder will be available for sale in fall of 2010 and will cost $21,000. Given the price tag, Panasonic will custom build the camcorder for you. Awesome. Let the bets begin on who the first porn producers with 3D cameras will be.

Consumer Electronics Show USB 3.0 HDD and Laptops Review

USB 3.0 storage devices (computer and laptop hard drives) were introduces by Western Digital and Seagate. Intel has introduced one of their upcoming laptops which will have the capability to wirelessly connect to an HD TV with mere touch of a button.

This is my brief best of sum up of the CES Consumer Electronics Show 2010 in Las Vegas. The 3D TVs ruled the show and drew most interest. Everyone is gonna want to have a 3D TV in their living rooms. Let’s hope you the reader have put off the purchase of a new big screen TV or else you’re gonna hate yourself. See you at Consumer Electronics Show 2011.

I occasionally find out about new wonders of the world that no-one knows about, yet they are absolutely astounding. Naica Crystal Cave in Mexico is definitely one of them. Discovered only recently, Naica Crystal Cave contains world’s largest natural crystals (translucent beams of gypsum) some of which are as long as 11 meters. It’s very hot inside Naica Crystal Cave – temperature reaches 50 Degrees Celsius and humidity is almost always near 100% making for challenging visits. Sharp edged crystals along with unbearable environment resulted in Mexican Naica Crystal Cave labelled as one of the most dangerous places in the world.

Cueva de los Cristales (Cave of the Crystals) – as Naica is known among native Mexicans will be featured on “How Earth Made Us” program broadcast by British BBC and on The Deadliest Places on Earth feature by National Geographics in early 2010. You can seen the video with first footage ever recorded in Naica Crystal Cave in Mexico below. Filmed by Italian cave explorers, the video offers great perception on how hot and humid it is inside the cave.

I am not sure whether Naca Crystal Cave is open for tourists, but given that a human can only survive for some 10 minutes in such harsh environment without specialty protective clothing, I somehow doubt that. I’d be interested to hear from anyone who visited the area to find out what really is going on. Naica Crystal Cave is located near Delicias in Chihuahua state of Mexico. It was discovered in 2000 when Mexican miners were pumping mineral rich water from a well covering the cave. Neico is a range of mines in the Chihuahu state where mining has been done for year. A visit to this world marvel must be interesting. Too bad Mexico is so dangerous nowadays. Check out the mindboggling video below:

Chinese government has invested $585 Billion as stimulus package to support the growth of Chinese economy despite recession. Big chunk of the money went towards speedy creation of cities such as Ordos in Inner Mongolia, north-east China. Ordos was built in just 5 years and was built to be big enough for 1 million residents, however the city is empty. Despite all the modern infrastructure, there is hardly anybody there and Ordos as seen for what it really is – an Empty City.

Thanks to its low population numbers, but high income due to nearby coal mines, Ordos has the second highest per capita income, after Shanghai. And even though Ordos remains an Empty City with hardly any inhabitants, management of construction companies claims that all units have been sold, it’s just that nobody’s moving in. Most of the house and apartments have been purchased by investors. At present time Ordos is an Empty City in China, but if it takes off, the value of these homes and other real estate will sky rocket which in the end will result in great return on investment.

The video about Ordos, China’s Empty City by Al Jazeera is below:
