Random stuff...need to clear my head

First - Stephen Hawking, the brilliant physicist most famously known for his breakthroughs in cosmology and quantum gravity, has been admitted into hospital on account of serious illness. He is a genuis when it comes to black holes and his work has shed light on this area, among others, in ways that cannot be described nor forgotten. Hawkings contribution to the human species and to science is absolutely incredible and his work will help generations to come to continue on a path towards greater knowledge regarding our world and the universe that surrounds us. I hope he makes it out of the hospital and feels better soon. We still needs minds like him.

Second - I watched Poltergeist III on Sunday (I wasn't in the mood to do much else and I needed a break!). The movie was great, as expected since I've already seen it. lol. But this time I watched it more carefully and picked up on some of the best quotes in the film, especially quotes said by Tangina - the psychic. At one crucial point she says: "You see innocence is the only gift we're given. All else must be fought for. In that gift is purity. In that purity lies strength." This quote sent a chill down my spine, but it is so true. Movie was made in 1988, so you can imagine how crappy the tech stuff would be, but still they do a good job. There's nothing like these old horror films. It was less on the technical crap and more on the story, quotes, and acting. 

Third - Susan Boyle may have met her match in 'Britain's Got Talent'. A 12 year old boy has taken the spotlight with his amazing vocals. Should be an interesting season on that show.

Fourth - A former astronaut who was part of the Apollo 14 mission to the moon says that aliens do exist and that the U.S. government, along with other world governments are hiding the truth from people. He's a Roswell native and he claims that the infamous Roswell crash landing of an alien spacecraft did occur. The more this guy talks the more he sounds like a real-life "Mulder". I'm wondering when "Skully" is going to show up. Seriously though, he's got some serious claims so it will be interesting to see how this pans out. He's got national attention already.

Fifth - I'm still waiting for the "Do Not Call List" to kick in for me. I registered a few months back, but I'm still getting a shit-load of telemarketers that wake me up from my naps, disturb me while I'm eating, and just plain annoy me regardless of what I'm doing! I told one man to give the phone to his manager. He said "okay Ma'am." Less than a minute later someone picked up and said "Hello". And I swear it was the SAME GUY! Only he was pretending to be the manager. So I told this guy to own up to it, but of course he wouldn't. I just don't know what it's going to take to tell the same dude that I don't need duct cleaning... [sigh].
