Help Detroit Get Their Statue Of Robocop!



Ok, I'm all for good causes. However, if you ask me on the street to donate some money for a charity, I refuse to pay for first class flights of CEO's who run the charity, therefor, I'll tell you I can't speak English. If you're a gypsy begger on the street shoving a brand new paper coffee cup in my face with all your solid gold rings on saying "Please! Please! Please!", I will pretend I saw someone I know and wave 'them' down just to passively aggressively vacate myself from the shitty predicament you put me in. If you're going to climb Mount Kilimanjaro to help cancer research, I will laugh and say good luck to both, we all know they'll never find a cure to cancer! It makes the pharmaceutical companies billions every year!

But the reason for my post today is for a very good cause. A cause that something tangible will come from it! Detroit needs their Robocop, and this time, in a form of a statue! Please check this site out. The good people of Detroit are raising the money all on their own. They have already raised $50,000 which was their initial goal, but with 38 days to go, lets see how much more they can raise!


And even so, their mayor, Dave Bing, is being the evil nemesis saying it's not going to happen, "But thank you for your suggestion. " Perhaps this Dave guy has never seen Robocop? Perhaps he was a boy that only read books, pissed the bed and dreamed of being a politician one day. Wake up Dave! Wake the fuck up!

Who is going to serve the public? Who is going to protect the innocent? Uphold the law?

Detroit needs their Robocop!

The people of Detroit will not take 'No' for an answer, and that is admirable!

You guys know how much I love Robocop, especially if you read my last post about him. If that made you smile even the slightest, can you donate to this wonderful cause? Even if it's just the change you find in your couch. Perhaps you could donate your children's lunch money, anything will help! Most importantly, if it's just you taking the time to 'Like' the campaign on Facebook, it's free but shows your support!

I commend you good Samaritans who support Robocop!

Good luck people of Detroit! Make America proud!


God bless Robocop!

Google Adsense Made My Day!

Ok, first and foremost, to anyone out there actually reading my blog, you guys are awesome! You definitely know good material when you see it, so keep it up! Every time I see that one of you have enjoyed a post of mine, it's almost equivilant to the feeling I got the first time I watched Whats Eating Gilbert Grape? Heart warming....



Next, I'd like to share some of my success with you guys, (thanks to you guys). Last week I set up a Google Adsense account and put some ads on my blog, just to see what would happen. I surely wasn't expecting to receive a 6-figure pay check over night (even though that would be nice) but out of curiosity, I really wanted to see if Google actually pays decent. Here's my Adsense report, you decide:


As you can see, I have earned one penny in a whole week. Sorry to all you Negative Nancy's out there who think this is nothing, but I think this is amazing progress! My cup is half full! That's a penny more than I had last week! If I keep this up, I can afford to put my future children through college one day! It would be quite the conversation starter if I told people that Google got my kids an edumacation wouldn't it? Then I could join the PTA and scoff at all those parents who naively opened silly savings accounts that bled them dry....



Thanks Google Adsense, you made my day!

I'm going to make me a sandwich now.
