Blood Diamond
Tuesday. 12.12.06 1:45 am





I saw the movie Blood Diamond yesterday. It was so intense. I could not believe the war and chaos in that country. I did not know that people were dying over the production and mining of diamonds. It was educationally disturbing.

Blogazoo is a piece of Crap

Blogazoo is POO!



I registered with blogazoo recently. At first they denied my blog because they said Nutang has frame breakers and they do not allow any of our accounts access. Then I asked to Dave to fix it. So now I am in. However I am not getting any hits from the credits I have allocated. Blogazoo said that you only get hits from the credits you earn by the amount of people on their servers. So basically, there arent enough people on blogazoo so you do not get many hits for your credits earned.

In my opinion, it is not worth signing up for and wasting your time viewing blogs for credit!!

* 1 cup butter

Random idea

This is Nutangs CHANGBANG dancing hula...



I was thinking about opening up a hula studio and teaching hawaiian dance. I am planning on opening the school in an expensive area. It is up on a hill where rich people live. They have their own little community of yuppy people that dont like to come down the hill to socialize.

I think I just came up with a name for my school... "Aloha O Panaewa Dance Studio"

How does that sound?

I want to use that name because it is a part of my daughters hawaiian name.
