			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.mrpappagiorgio.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/8golds.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-266" style="float: left;" title="8golds" src="http://www.mrpappagiorgio.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/8golds-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a> Michael Phelps will be gracing the cover of Sports Illustrated for a sixth time next week after completing his Olympic Masterpiece, 8 Gold Medals. There&#8217;s no question that Michael Phelps stole the show at the Olympic games this year with his record breaking performance of 8 Gold Medals in a single Olympic Games, and also setting World Records in most of the events. Its no doubt Sports Illustrated loves the guy right now, hell, we all do, how many people do you know who haven&#8217;t heard about the 100m Butterfly where Phelps extra half stroke won the gold by a hundredth<span id="more-265"></span> of a second, so close it was almost impossible for the human eye to tell. It wasn&#8217;t until I saw the Underwater photo of the finish that I finally saw where Phelps touched first, by less than a fingertip.</p>
<p>To Celebrate the victory and another SI Cover for Phelps, I made a quick Wallpaper, Enjoy.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>&#8220;I think you&#8217;ll find that this is the real deal,&#8221; Robert Barrows of Redwood City, Calif., told the Bay City News local wire service.</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>Matthew Whitton, a cop in Clayton County, Ga., </strong></em><span id="more-261"></span><em><strong>and his friend Rick Dyer, a former corrections officer, say they recently found the body in the woods of northern Georgia.</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>Veteran Bigfoot tracker Tom Biscardi said he&#8217;s examined the body, and that scientists will get their chance soon.&#8221; (Story pulled from <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,402882,00.html" target="_blank">Fox News.com</a>)<br />
</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you click on the picture, you can view the full image of the released photo in which the supposed body of a bigfoot creature has been thrown into a freezer. Of course its always difficult to tell from a photo whether something is real or not, but these guys are supposedly going to back everything up by inviting the media to a press conference tomorrow at noon. More than likely its probably bullshit, but hey, its Bigfoot, and Bigfoot is fun in my book, so if you&#8217;re like me, just sit back and enjoy the show that ensues whether it be the real deal or another hoax, either way, its going to make for fabulous entertainment!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here is the story on Fox News:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.mrpappagiorgio.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/listen-up-kids.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-255" style="float: left;" title="listen-up-kids" src="http://www.mrpappagiorgio.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/listen-up-kids-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a> Listen Up Children! Schools back in session, so sit your little badasses down, shut your little bastard mouths, and listen up! Before you head back to real school, you need to hear Today&#8217;s Lesson: Just because you can, doesn&#8217;t mean you should. With the kiddies headed back off to school this week, I just fealt like I needed to have a little session with the kids to teach them some valuable lessons, and lets face it, now that Isaac Hayes is gone, you won&#8217;t have Chef from South Park to be the voice of reason for your kids anymore. So here I am to help out. Now <span id="more-256"></span>that we got that ridiculous introduction out of the way, lets get to it. Just because you can, doesn&#8217;t mean you should.</p>
<p>Elmer&#8217;s Glue is a very popular back to school item, and although it has a very specific use, it generally ends up in the your mouths, and eventually it will lead to dependency and experimentation, and the next thing you know you are hanging out behind the gym after 3rd period in the sixth grade coordinating the drug deal that&#8217;s going to bring you your next heroin fix. <strong>Just because you can eat Elmers Glue, doesn&#8217;t mean you should.</strong></p>
<p>The always fun back to school activity of shooting spit wads is a highly attractive activity. You get to shoot spit wads at girls you like, boys you hate, and the teacher if you&#8217;ve got the balls to give it a try. I&#8217;m highly advising against this as generally during this activity you get so good at not getting caught, the next thing you know your shooting spit wads at the class bully who is now subsequently stabbing you in the ear with his newly sharpened pencil in art class. <strong>Just because you can shoot spit wads at people, doesn&#8217;t mean you should.</strong></p>
<p>Lets face it, I don&#8217;t care if your in 2nd grade or 10th grade, you&#8217;ll always get some crackpot ass teacher who wants to give you a test on the very first day, and already you are panicking. But have no fear, the time to cheat is here, or at least that&#8217;s your new plan. But see, once you start to cheat, you tend to begin to rely on it, and the next thing you know your graduating high school with your 2.5 GPA that you acquired 100% through cheating, and despite all the cheating, sadly, that&#8217;s the only thing you ever got a 100% at, proving once again, you really are pretty stupid. You are so stupid, in fact, that you have never done any work on your own, and are now the proud owner of a 612 on your SAT&#8217;s. Don&#8217;t get too excited dumb ass, you get 600 just for signing your name. So now you are left with no other option than to work at Micky D&#8217;s and once again spend 3rd period outside your local gym, and this time you ran into a savvy sixth grader who is way smarter than you were at that age and is now selling you heroin instead of the other way around. <strong>Just because you can cheat and get away with it, doesn&#8217;t mean you should.</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a sick world we live in and if you are sending your 8 year old girl to school in a few days, you better go ahead and have the sex talk with her now, especially if your kid goes to a ghetto school, cause let&#8217;s face it, ghetto kids might as well be adults. No seriously, I&#8217;ve actually had a 7 year old girl tell me that this 9 year old boy just asked her to go into the bathroom with him and they could have sex. Awesome right? Well, it would be a good idea except for the fact that you are a seven year old girl who got pregnant and is all over the National news, and on top of that all the 12 year old boys now know you are easy and are hitting on you constantly and trying to get you to hook up with them at every turn. Now, there is a good thing about all this, you&#8217;ll be 25 years old when your kid turns 18, and you&#8217;re life and your kids life will have been so screwed up by then you&#8217;ll be able to start dating each other, and eventually get married, and spawn a demon child. Congratulations. <strong>Just because you can have sex at 7 years old, doesn&#8217;t mean you should. </strong></p>
<p>So there you have it kids, I hope you enjoyed our talk, and always, always, always remember, <strong>JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN, DOESN&#8217;T MEAN YOU SHOULD! </strong>Alright, good talk, now get the hell outta here you little ankle biting freaks and go bother your parents instead of me, CLASS DISMISSED!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.mrpappagiorgio.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/soulmenx-large.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-252" style="float: left;" title="soulmenx-large" src="http://www.mrpappagiorgio.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/soulmenx-large-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a> The picture to your left (Click for Full Picture) was taken from the set of the upcoming film &#8220;Soul Men,&#8221; out November 14. If you&#8217;ll notice the picture stars the Late Bernie Mac, the Late Isaac Hayes, and of course, Samuel L. Jackson. Is it just me? Doesn&#8217;t it look like Sammy knew what we didn&#8217;t, and that the movie they were really making, was indeed Final Destination 4: This times for Real (Due Next Year, no seriously, Final Destination 4 is due in 2009). You know the film series I&#8217;m talking about right? No? Come on now, its those flick&#8217;s where you can&#8217;t stop fate, and if you <span id="more-253"></span>cheat it, it will find you anyway, one way or another. If you ask me, he looks pretty damn scared in this picture, and after this past weekend, I&#8217;m sure he&#8217;s shaking in his boots as these other great men passed away.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But seriously, Bernie Mac, and Isaac Hayes were both great men and lived great lives. Isaac Hayes, all you got to say here is SHAFT! You damn right! And for Bernie Mac, well this man had comedic chops not often found in this world. His delivery was impeccable, and yes, and he said in his act, he said things we all think, but can&#8217;t say, and Bernie, we thank you for saying them for us. Both of these men will be missed. RIP.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As for you Sammy Boy, I&#8217;d say watch your back, cause it looks like you are NEXT!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.mrpappagiorgio.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/officespace3.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-249" style="float: left;" title="officespace3" src="http://www.mrpappagiorgio.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/officespace3-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a> It&#8217;s a problem of motivation you see. Or at least I do. Motivation is what makes the world go round, its what pushes people to move forward in every single part of life. So whats my problem? No Motivation. I see it every day, in myself, and in others. Its a funny thing, I&#8217;ve recently come across a few other people from high school and this also seems to be their problem.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For Instance, lets look at this one example. I saw him just yesterday, and he&#8217;s working at a tire shop down <span id="more-239"></span>the street from where I work. Now this guy was smart as hell and sharp as a whip, his father was a lawyer, and he&#8217;s got every bit the same potential, but he&#8217;s working at a tire shop. Why? No motivation. I can identify with that simply because I&#8217;d consider myself to be in the same boat. I&#8217;d like to think I&#8217;m a pretty smart guy who could have done any number of things, the only problem is I never cared to. So that goes back to the saying you might have clicked on to view this thread, &#8220;It&#8217;s not that I&#8217;m lazy, its that I just don&#8217;t care.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Others like myself, smart, capable of doing a great many things, quite simply, lack the motivation to do them. We don&#8217;t know why we do, and frankly we just don&#8217;t care. We&#8217;re more than happy to live our sad little lives for our own enjoyment, and really just don&#8217;t care about the rest of the minions around us. Of course, family and friends are the exception, and that&#8217;s why I used the term minions, which is a fine term for the general public.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So what am I to do? Honestly, nothing. When you&#8217;re born without motivation, there&#8217;s nothing you can do about it, its just the way you are. There is absolutely nothing that can inspire you to fully achieve the things you are capable of. Its a sad truth I know, but hey, if I&#8217;m happy in my own little world, why should I care? I guess that&#8217;s why I don&#8217;t. I know I&#8217;ll never be a doctor, or a lawyer, or an astronaut, and guess what, I couldn&#8217;t possibly care less. I&#8217;m happy in my own little world, unmotivated, and unfazed by the idiocies that plague our world. In the end, all that matters is happiness right?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So if I&#8217;m happy, then that&#8217;s enough, but wouldn&#8217;t a great job and tons of money be better for my life? Who the hell knows, one thing I do know is that it doesn&#8217;t matter if I jockey a register, perform an open heart surgery or blast off to the moon, in the end, its all work, and work is work. You have to do it, so you can have your time at the end of the day to enjoy whatever it is that you want to enjoy, and I can do that doing what I do now. No motivation? I guess it works for me.</p>
