I am sure I am not the only person who has used Google Earth to check out places.  It is actually a pretty cool tool and many businesses have found great uses for it.  But not here, we tried to find the best and craziest places possible.

Navy Swastika

Three airplanes taking off at once.

One winged plane landing.

World War II bomber.

Typhoon slammed cruise ship.

18-wheeler wreck.

Gravity defying car.

Leaning office building.

Crop circles…including the nicely placed Mozilla Firefox.
 

KFC and Coca-Cola learned of the pictures just in time to place nice ads.
 

And that concludes our lesson in Google Earth.  Now we would really love to see your pictures and findings.

Before I begin, this post is brought to you by the Black and Single: Is marriage really for white people? story on CNN.com.  I am sorry if you find this to be an offensive story, but dammit people this **** drives  crazy!

Is marriage really for white people?  45 percent of black women have never been married compared to 23 percent of white women.  Hello, have you ever thought to factor in that 50% of all marriages end in divorce?!?  That is right, over 50% of ALL marriages end in divorce.  Also, have you ever thought that maybe some black women do not want to marry another race, which means they have to battle the 2 black women to 1 black man ratio?

This story basically says that Mrs. Allen, a white woman, had it “all” and she (Dionne Hill - un-married black woman) wanted to be just like her.  Do you know what Mrs. Allen’s life was like at home or did you just assume?  She (Dionne Hill - un-married black woman) wanted to be married, have a house and kids and have a solid education.  She goes on to say that she has to withstand the jokes of being single and is always asked, “Why are you single?”.  Here is an answer for you, you are single because you have made that decision.  Every time you start to date someone you, you put up the wall and push men away or decide that the man in your life is not good enough or maybe even that he is not ready for marriage.  Maybe you have a bad judge in character.  Maybe you are hard to deal with and no one wants to marry you.  Being single is not a bad thing and it is not a good thing…it is a fact of life for every single person in this world.  We are not born married, we work through our lives and get married.  Maybe you are still single and have not found the right man because you are gay.  Maybe there is no perfect man in this world for you, maybe there is a perfect woman out there for you.

I am seriously expecting this to be the next topic on the Presidential debate.

“As President of these United States, I vow to help black women meet their ‘one and only’ soul mate and get married.  I will ensure that all ‘babies mommas’ have a husband to go home to.  <Raises glass>  Here is one for me and one for my homies.  Peace up, W Town.  Goodnight.” - McCain

OMFG!  Are we really a nation of whiners or what?!?  Are we really this narrow minded that we see everything mother ******* thing as a black and white issue?  For the love of <insert religious person here> people.  Grow up, grow a pair and take life head on.  Instead of blaming society for your issues, maybe take a look at yourself and figure out what is wrong with you.  Being a black woman and not being married is not a black issue.

Would you rather get married to the wrong person and then end up getting divorced?  When are we as a society going to step up and take control of our own lives and our own issues?  Stop blaming other people/things/places/drugs/alcohol/parents for your short comings.

This is all a great big circle of life folks.  Things happen for a reason and you cannot control most of them.  One thing that is wrong with society is that when one ignorant person makes an offensive comment, people fault the entire race, not the person who said the remark.  I hear this crap everyday when riding the train and walking through downtown Denver.  The Presidential campaign is even getting “Black and White” and not in the direction you would think.  People are calling Obama out for being too white and leaning towards helping the white people.  Are you ******* serious folks?  The average person in America is not a racist.  I am not a racist, but I hate lazy and ignorant people!  Every race has a bad gene pool in it.  For example, there are white people and then there is white trash.  I could go on but then someone would assume that I am racist.  If you feel that you are more qualified for a job, then prove it.  If you feel you deserve a nicer car or nicer home in a better neighborhood, then go buy them.  I worked my ass off my entire life to get where I am.  I was not handed a great job, a car, a home, a wife and kids…I earned them.  I have worked hard and still work hard at what I do to succeed in life.  But before I got to where I am today I struggled and had issues.  I lived pay check to pay check and ate Ramen Noodles and drank generic Kool-Aid but I made it.  I never once blamed anyone for it.  I blamed myself and decided to make a better life for myself.  I made mistakes and got in trouble with the law but never blamed anyone, it was my fault.  I have a biological father who was a drunk, drug user and mental/physical abuser…but I have never used him as an excuse.  My first step-father was a drunk/drug user and mental/physical abuser…again I never used him as an excuse.  Everything that has happened to me in my life has been my fault and my fault only.

I grew up, maybe it is your turn.  Grow up America.
