			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok. Megan Fox.</p>
<p>Apparently I missed the Superbowl commercial with Megan Fox. I did watch the superbowl this year and for the first time ever I wasn&#8217;t bored to death doing so. I did not watch the half time show as I had to leave from my sister&#8217;s house to mine during that time. Today I find out there was an advertisement for Motorola with Megan Fox. Great! I watch it. The reason I found about it is because everyone noticed that a Megan Fox Thumb Double was used.</p>
<p>Yes Megan Fox has a short thumb. A short and wide thumb. I didn&#8217;t think it was a flaw, it was just how she was and it was fine. So why did Megan Fox allow them to use someone&#8217;s thumb other than her own? Does she think it is a flaw? Did she chicken out afraid they will find someone else to do the commercial otherwise? Why didn&#8217;t she stand up for herself? Disappointed. Here is the commercial.</p>
<p><a href="http://westernarab.com/2010/02/10/megan-fox-disappoints/"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p>
<p>Now if you guys remember, Megan Fox did a great advertisement before this disappointment. In that one she encourages kids to be themselves. And the bullies, she says &#8220;Fuck them, because they don&#8217;t know shit. What really matters is being yourself &#8230; nothing is more important than being who you are.&#8221;</p>

<p>Way to effen fail Megan. FAIL. Be who you are, a short fat thumbed hot girl.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mom found a very strange butterfly as she called it and I went and saw it. What I saw looked like a moth, it had a very fat thick body and fat legs. It was orange and had an eye shaped pattern on its wing, which dad took a a piece of grass and expanded the other wing to reveal a second &#8220;eye&#8221; on the wings. After some investigating, it seems to be a silk moth. Very beautiful looking creature out in the world. Here are a few shots.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It has been maybe 2 weeks of cold weather and it is finally warming up. The cold weather isn&#8217;t gone exactly, but at least during the day it is nice weather, while indoors at home is colder than it is outside. The nights have not been as cold as the past 2 weeks were. With a forecast of 53 being the lowest in the next few days, and high of mid 70s, I think the weather is going to be great. I hate when my hands are freezing while I am trying to type. I wear socks and my feet are fine but my hands freeze when it is cold! Go back to NY cold where I left you 5 years ago!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I finally jumped on data plan boat and got a new phone. I bought the HTC Touch Pro 2 and it arrived last Monday via Fedex. Fedex wouldn&#8217;t let me pick it up myself on Saturday and they wouldn&#8217;t deliver it until Monday even though they had the package here in Boca, but anyway that is a whole other story.</p>
<p>So TOUCH PRO TWO. Just say it a few times. So far I love the phone. It is an awesome phone with a beautiful screen. It takes good pictures and videos. It also has probably the best hardware keyboard on any smart phone out right now. The slide out keyboard is a 5 row qwerty keyboard with keys spaced out. The screen also can be tilted at an angle with keyboard slid out but I haven&#8217;t felt the need to tilt it much yet. I got it with Verizon&#8217;s new every two which means I got an additional $100 off the phone price for a total of $99 plus tax. The phone weight can be felt, especially coming from a small Samsung flip phone, but it feels pretty solid. The phone runs Windows Mobile 6.1, and is supposed to get an upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.5 but that has not been released yet.</p>
<p>So now I am on the boat of those paying an additional $30 for a data plan, which was my biggest hold up of getting a smart phone as I don&#8217;t really need it. Anyway here are some pictures of the phone. Oh sorry, smart phone!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>California. Beautiful state. I love it. I have been here 4 days and it is wonderful. In that time I have visited Las Vegas, Nevada, the Hoover Dam in Nevada/Phoenix and San Diego California. With beautiful clear blue skies and impressive mountain views, California is quiet possibly the most attractive state I have visited.</p>
<p>Driving on the winding roads through the mountains and just the overall mountain views is a nice reminder of Lebanon. Lebanon has those winding roads in the mountains minus the guard rails and much thinner roads with beeping cars around each bend warning everyone that they are coming around the bend.</p>
<p>I have taken plenty of pictures and there will be plenty more to take. I will post some later.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had a fun long weekend traveling from Fort Lauderdale west to Naples and North to Tampa and on to Port Richey, then east to Orlando and south back down to West Palm Beach.</p>
<p>It all started with Bakugan.</p>
<div id="attachment_849" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://westernarab.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/IMG_8882.JPG" title="Bakugan Tournament" rel="lightbox[848]" rel="lightbox[848]"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-849" title="Bakugan Tournament" src="http://westernarab.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/IMG_8882-150x150.jpg" alt="Bakugan Tournament" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Bakugan Tournament</p></div>
<p>Nearly 300 miles away was a Bakugan Tournament at Gulf View Square Mall, and that was our excuse to take the trip knowing that the tournament would be at most an hour event, but the kids would love it. My nephews that is. =)</p>
<p>Kids were excited and had a great time. They got t-shirts, wrist bands and got to be official bakugan battle brawlers with a card with their picture certifying it! COOL!</p>
<p>Following the bakugan tournament, we headed to Olive Garden for breakfast/lunch. We did wake up at 6am just to be in time for the bakugan tournament so we were pretty hungry. After we found a place called stop and play which was just an arcade and after that headed to Orlando.</p>
<p>We arrived in Orlando and found a Radisson Hotel to stay in. It wasn&#8217;t as good as we had expected, but not bad overall but next time staying in a Holiday Inn would probably be the better choice. And from the hotel it was out to Old Town where there is an amusement park. We bought tickets for the kids to play on the rides and were convinced that any adult can ride with any kid on the ride. After smashing and bumping the cars on the race track around which they threaten to kick you out if you do so, we learned that they want kids of certain height to go on rides alone and won&#8217;t let an adult go with them unless they pay for the ride again. Alright so we broke their policy of no refunds and got our refund and then just bought individual tickets for the rides. Silly of them, we ended up spending much less.</p>
<p>But the amusement park gave me good opportunities to take shots with slower shutter speeds to achieve cool effects.</p>

<p>I also found a waterfall finally &#8230; well kinda.</p>

<p>The next morning we headed to the waffle house, when you are in Orlando, there is some rule that you have to have breakfast at the waffle house. Had pecan and chocolate waffles, eggs, hash browns and orange juice.</p>

<p>And finally from the waffle house, we started the trip to <a title="Kennedy Space Center" href="http://www.nasa.gov/centers/kennedy/home/index.html" target="_blank">Nasa Kennedy Space Center</a>. If you want to feel very little, this is where you go and see how gigantic things are and the great things that man can build.</p>
