- On Thursday I became one of those men who has Botox injected into his forehead

Not me, of course. I would never let anyone inject poison into my body, unless I was terminally ill and the poison would help. This title is a quote from Todd Babiak over at Edmonton Journal. After reading his article, and learning that Clint Eastwood probably have had Botox injections, I still don’t know why he would do such a stupid thing. Wrinkles are not a flaw. Period.

Clark has received two Botox injections, but doesn’t suffer from peer-related anxieties. This may be because he is very tall and built like Conan the Barbarian; it is difficult to imagine a sane redneck questioning his masculinity.

“I spend a lot of time in the gym, eating well, taking supplements” he said. “The most I ever did was slap some sunscreen on. But I see a real difference already. If I can prevent wrinkles later, with Botox now, it makes perfect sense. It’s that stigma handed down from generations of our fathers, that you don’t cry, you don’t get pedicures. Things have changed.” Clark raised his eyebrows. There were no wrinkles.

I had always thought of myself as one of those men who would go through life without having Botox injected into his forehead. On Thursday I became one of those men who has Botox injected into his forehead.

Recently, David Hasselhoff admitted, joyously, to receiving Botox injections.

He accused Clint Eastwood of doing the same. Simon Cowell, the American Idol judge, seemed shocked two years ago when a reporter asked him if he’d enjoyed some non-surgical enhancements.

“I’ve had Botox, but not in an obsessive way,” Cowell said. “Then again, every guy I know who works in the city has had it now.” Even Clint.

Worst Job Ever: Massage Therapist for Models

I love this commercial. It’s great fun. But the truth is, really, I think I would hate that job too. It comes with great scenery, of course, but just think about this: He is like a eunich in a harem. “I think one day I’ll quit this nightmare”.

- Geeks are the one who save the world, not the macho men.

What do you do when you find that the government is watching everything and treat you like a suspected terrorist? How do you fight Big Brother? I aim to find out. I just downloaded Cory Doctorows book Little Brother. 

Marcus is only seventeen, but he figures he already knows how the state system works and how to work the system for himself. Attuned to the networked world, Marcus has no trouble outwitting his high school’s intrusive surveillance systems as well as other state surveillance apparatus.

However, Marcus’s whole world changed when he finds he and his friends caught up in the aftermath of a major terrorist attack on San Francisco. In the wrong place at the wrong time, Marcus and his crew were arrested and whisked away to a secret prison where there were interrogated as terror suspects.

When he was finally released, Marcus discovers his city had became a police state where citizens are all treated like potential terrorists. That is the point where Marcus decided to take on the government. Thus the quest began where the geeks are the one who save the world, not the macho men.

- It’s only natural to want a powerful machine with a spinning chain of razor sharp blades between your legs.

Some guy (at least I think he’s a guy) called Fourth and Fifty over at Bleacher Report has an exellent report of The ESPN Timbersports series after one day of “viewing” while waiting for vision correcting surgery.

If you have not witnessed the TimberSports series, I urge you to watch it.  You have great athletes(?) competing in events such as who can cut three slices off a log with a chainsaw the fastest.  This would be like the 100 meter dash, if we were watching track and field.  Now I respect the manliness of a chainsaw.  It’s only natural to want a powerful machine with a spinning chain of razor sharp blades between your legs.  But, I usually have to buy DVDs of that at the Erotic Boutique near my [Ed. note: parents'] mansion.
