Wow, I’ve been completely bogged down with classes. I’m trying to fit 4 courses that should take 36 weeks to finish into 36 days! On top of an ex-boyfriends birthday party and my mom’s birthday today. I’ll be blogging this week, so keep in touch and stay tuned. =]
For some reason I’m interested in what exactly Scientology is. It’s altogether disturbing as I said in my last post. As with anything today there are many resources on the internet, so here are more resourses on the “Religion/Cult” that I have come across:
MTV Explains - What was Tom Cruise Really Talking About?
Penthouse’s Interview with L. Ron Hubbard Jr. - The creator of Scientology’s son himself speaking of his father
“Looking over my shoulder, The Inside Account of the Story That Almost Killed Me”- the writer of Scandal of the Scandal of Scientology, Paulette Cooper writes about how Scientology ruined her life
http://www.xenu.net/ - Where you can find huge amounts of information about Scientology
My number one question is if Scientology doesn’t have anything to hide and none of the accusations against them are true then why are they taking legal actions toward information on the internet? (more…)
I’m sure if you read my interests you noticed that I have exotic cars listed. When I was in 6th grade my interests peaked into cars and not just everyday cars but Ferrari’s and Lamborghini’s.
A friend showed me this video a couple months ago of the Bugatti Veyron and it blew my mind. If you haven’t, it’s a must. In the video it explains what exactly the Veyron can do and what it’s equipped with. Towards the end of the video the car is actually driven to the maximum speed. What’s the magic number? 253mph, no lie. Watch for yourself:
Get a little more in depth on the Bugatti-Configurator, where you can choose what the exterior color and interior colors are, then view the car to your specifications.
I had never heard of Scientology until I saw the Tom Cruise video yesterday, which can still be found on Gawker. Honestly it’s disturbing.
If the Cruise video wasn’t disturbing enough, check out this YouTube video about “The Un-Funny Truth About Scientology”. Caution: This video is graphic.
And they have vaults? To learn more go to this article on the Wahington Post. Here’s one vault on Google Earth, and you can find the other one here.
What do you think of all this?

Finding a webhost, another dilemma that’s giving me a huge headache.
For the past 3 weeks I’ve been searching and searching for a webhost. I’ve done google search after msn search over and over again, and I haven’t found what I’m looking for. I’ve signed up for Lunarpages.com and Easy-To-Build.com, and neither one satisfy my needs. The review sites tend to be just affiliate websites trying to make money. Ah! I need some real human input. Someone who knows what they’re talking about and what’s the best of the best cause I can’t find it.
I’ve been with Homestead.com since I was in 6th grade. They offer an amazing sitebuilder and other great features, but I’m trying to expand my site (if only they supported wordpress and forums). The features that I need a webhost to have is being able to support wordpress, forums and have an awesome WYSIWYG builder. Along with the standard email address’, lots of space, outstanding up-time, good help support, etc. Does anyone have any suggestions? I’m about to jump out of a window soon going through all these webhosting websites trying to find the right one, and only signing up for them and finding out that it’s not what I’m looking for.
Edit: I ran into Homestead’s blog, which stated that they’re going through beta testing of PHP capabilities. I hope they release this soon. Maybe, just maybe I can stay with them. I’d still like to hear what everyone has to say.
