Minecraft Skeletons

Skeletons, the ultimate enemy in Minecraft.  At least on the surface.  These guys shoot arrows, and aren't afraid to come after you in pairs or multiples.  Many deaths have been caused by these guys and lots of frustration.  Yet, we still plug away at the game.  There is a strategy for taking on one at a time, but more than one, gets tough.  This is the best image I could find on the internet.  Might have to get one of my own later.

Minecraft Spider

Spiders are probably the second easiest thing to kill in Minecraft.  I mean come on, all they do is jump around right?  And try to jump on your head?  Oh, but they drop string(s).  One or two.  Players like to hunt them to make bows or fishing poles with.  Great mobs to go hunting for.

Minecraft Zombies

Talk about easy cheesy.  Zombies are probably the easiest thing to kill in Minecraft.  They just come at you and try to eat you.  That's all.  Nothing special.  A few swings with a sword or a couple of shots with a bow and you've got these guys on the ground begging.

Minecraft Creeper Statue

Many Minecraft players fear Creepers and for a good reason.  Many players have been killed because of creepers, only to end up losing some loot and have to go hunting for it again.  Some have even lost loot completely, because of various factors, not getting back in time, etc.  Here, someone built a massive stature of a Creeper.  Why are they so feared?  They blow up.

Dragonball Anime Review

I've been busy watching the Dragonball Series.  I'm currently watching the Dragonball Z series, which is the second in the third series.  I'm also going to start doing a series of anime reviews on this blog.  With no further ado, here's my review on the Dragonball series.

Dragonball, is about a young boy, Goku, who lands on Earth as a baby.  Goku is a Saiyan, and they are known for their superior strength and power.  Which is found out later in the series.  His journey and travels takes him from the loss of his Grandfather, to the search for the magical Dragonballs.  Hence, the name of the series.  Dragonballs are magical in a sense, that when all seven are collected, the Great Dragon grants you one wish.

This anime is really about one thing.  Fighting.  Good vs. Evil.  The first series consist of Empire Pilaf as Goku's nemesis.  Emperor Pilaf can only be described as a small Blue Imp-like creature that wants to rule the world.

There is also another enemy during this series.  The Red Ribbon Army.  These guys are tough, notorious bad guys.  And Goku has to take them all on himself.  "But he's just a boy."  Bulma would say.  But, he's also a Saiyan.  The Red Ribbon Army's leader is kind of short, and the reason he wants the Dragonballs?  Well, I'll give you one guess.

Bulma is Goku's first travel companion.  She starts off at the age of 16.  Goku, being only 12, gets into a lot of trouble with Bulma and Goku's innocence, only makes it that much more interesting.  Goku is of a pure heart, with pure intent.  Thus, making him stronger than most would think.

Krillin, is Goku's training partner and rival at first, but they become good friends.  They are about the same age and end up getting along well.  Krillin is kind of short also and bald.  And interesting character.

Piccolo, end up being Goku's toughest opponent in this entire series.  He's a Namekian a green guy who can have his own offspring.  Kind of weird really.

This series develops well, with good characters, and new fighting techniques being added.  Goku's whole philosophy is, no pain no gain.  At least, that's what he adopts.

Overall, I'd give this a ********* 9/10 stars.

Check The Ingredients

Many food manufactures are adding things that you'd normally wouldn't eat to their products.  One thing that people have gotten away from is checking the ingredient list.

For example, if you'd check the ingredient list on many Blueberry products, you'd find that they don't actually have Blueberries in them at all.  What's in them?  Sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar, did I mention sugar?  On top of that, various forms of sugar, Fructose and other additives.  So, there really isn't any Blueberry in them at all.

There are many products that try to fake the whole Blueberry or Natural craze.  It's true, that people love fruit in their foods and that people love Natural and Organic foods.  Just because it says Natural thought, doesn't mean it's Organic.  Or that they haven't added stuff to it.

What are some things that don't have fruit at all in them?  Muffins for starters, most muffins don't actually have real fruit, they have what some companies call Fruit Bits, which are flavored and masked to looked like Blueberries.  Many popular name brand products such as Kellogg and other brands, use this method of masking the product to make you think it's healthy.  Yet, at the same time, these companies charge you the same price that the cereals that do have fruit in them are charging.  If not more.  Seriously?  Yep, you bet.

I'm not specifically targeting Blueberries here, there are lots of fruit imitation foods out there that do this.  Makes you think twice about these foods doesn't it?  There are cereals that are actually healthy for you.  One thing to keep in mind when it comes to healthy food?  Usually the fewer the ingredients, the better.  Better yet, many things can be made yourself.  That way you know what's in it.

What have we learned here today?  Check your labels on food.  Many people don't do that.  And they wonder why their getting fat.  Shouldn't I be losing weight?  I'm eating healthier foods.

I say, ask yourself again, is the food really that much healthier?  Or is it just disguised junk food?

Natasha Bedingfield - Unwritten lyrics

 This is an awesome pop song that I love from a British girl.  Came to America and married.  She's awesome.  This song rocks.

Natasha Bedingfield - Unwritten

I am unwritten,
Can't read my mind
I'm undefined
I'm just beginning
The pen's in my hand
Ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your innovation

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten, yeah

Oh, oh

I break tradition
Sometimes my tries
Are outside the lines, oh yeah yeah
We've been conditioned
To not make mistakes
But I can't live that way oh, oh

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips

the rest still unwritten
