| Clay Aiken |
What's the new scandal? While in Boston on tour on Dec. 5, a source claims a lonely Clay Aiken logged onto manhunt.net, a Web site created for men seeking to have sex with other men, from the Wyndham Hotel. Clay eventually found himself an instant message buddy — according to the source, who is a male school teacher — and apparently sent the man photos of himself — clothed and partially-clothed! — via a Web cam!
Clay's alleged online buddy did have a sense of humor, though: He ribbed superstar Clay about staying at the ever-so-economical Wyndham Hotel. Below, is the conversation which the source claims took place between financially sensible Clay, and his online buddy, about Clay's less-than-glitzy lodgings:
i'm in a hotel downtown

Source: which one?

Source: you're not at the ritz

Because I'm a man, when I lock my keys in the car I will fiddle with a wire long after hypothermia, or heat stroke, has set in.
AAA is not an option. I will win.
_____________________________________________________
Because I'm a man, when the car isn't running very well, I will pop the hood and stare at the engine as if I know what I'm looking at. If another man shows up, one of us will say to the other, "I used to be able to fix these things, but now with all these computers and everything, I wouldn't know where to start." We will then drink beer and break wind as a form of Holy Communion.
_____________________________________________________
Because I'm a man, when I catch a cold, I need someone to bring me soup and take care of me while I lie in bed and moan.
You're a woman. You never get as sick as I do, so for you this isn't a problem.
_____________________________________________________
Because I'm a man, I can be relied upon to purchase basic groceries at the store, like milk or bread. I cannot be expected to find exotic items like "cumin" or "tofu." For all I know, these are the same thing. And never, under any circumstances, expect me to pick up anything for which "feminine hygiene product" is a euphemism.
(F.Y.I. guys cumin is a spice and not a bodily function)

Because I'm a man, when one of our appliances stops working, I will insist on taking it apart, despite evidence that this will just cost me twice as much, once the repair person
gets here and has to put it back together.
_____________________________________________________
Because I'm a man, I must hold the television remote control in my hand while I watch TV. If the thing has been misplaced, I may miss an entire show looking for it (though one time I was able to survive by holding a calculator)...applies to engineers mainly.
_____________________________________________________
Because I'm a man, there is no need to ask me what I'm thinking about. The answer is always either sex, cars or football. I have to make up something else when you ask, so don't ask.
_____________________________________________________
Because I'm a man, I do not want to visit your mother, or have your mother come visit us, or talk to her when she calls, or think about her any more than I have to. Whatever you got
her for Mother's Day is okay; I don't need to see it. And don't forget to pick up something for my mother too.
_____________________________________________________
Because I'm a man, you don't have to ask me if I liked the movie. Chances are, if you're crying at the end of it, I didn't.... and if you are feeling amorous afterwards... then I will certainly at least remember the name and recommend it to others.
_____________________________________________________
Because I'm a man, I think what you're wearing is fine. I thought what you were wearing five minutes ago was fine, too. Either pair of shoes is fine. With the belt or without it, looks fine. Your hair is fine. You look fine. Can we just go now?
_____________________________________________________
Because I'm a man, and this is, after all, the year 2006, I will share equally in the housework. You just do the laundry, the cooking, the cleaning, the vacuuming, and the dishes, and I'll do the rest... like looking for my socks, or like wandering around in the garden with a beer wondering what to do.

One of my friends sent me one of the hottest items in Ebay. It is a piece of sheet metal that happens to have an image that looks like Jesus. It’s worth more than 1000 dollars now. Last year, if you remember, it was an image of Maria on the old bread. This year is Jesus’ image. Next year will be God’s turn, I guess.
I think human mind is so used to of creating images to match what we are familiar to. It depends on each individual person’s view. Like someone say,
two people walk pass a muddy pond, one see the dirty mud, but one see the moon.
What do you see when you look at this picture?
I see the cover of the Third Eyes Blind album right there (if you take the hand off).

When it comes to death, human beings always have the unidentified fears like the fear of separation from our beloved one, the fear of crossing over to somewhere we are not familiar or the fear of non-existence. Therefore, most of the cultures are evolved around the fear of death. From the way the religion and gods are created to the way we behave in the society.
My best friend who just lost his father asks me about my opinion if the way we handle the dead body will determine that person next life. His father is cremated. But his aunt was upset and told my friend that his father soul might not be in peace because of the cremation.
I totally understand his aunt’s concern. She is a Christian and my friend has become a Buddhist a while ago. These two religions have totally different view about death and life.
In Buddhism point of view, we believe everything from quarks to the universe is temporary. Everything changes and death is the final change to the new beginning. Since we consider everything including body is temporary, our ways of handling the dead body is easy and represents our belief of not being attached ourselves to anything including our own body. Therefore cremation is a normal way of handling the dead body in the Buddhism even the Buddha himself was cremated. However, this also depends on the culture; some Buddhists in some countries are buried. The Tibetans give their bodies to be the food for vultures and wild animals. Moreover, unlike Christianity, the Buddhists do not believe in God so we do not believe God will one day return and raise us from the death. So they do not need to preserve the body in order to meet God on the judgment day. The cremation in Christianity is pretty new. I think perhaps since we are in the 21st century, most of the people already realize that Jesus will never come back like all the ancient mommies will never come back to life because the great Osiris will never grant their life again.
I told my friend I do not believe the way we handle the dead body will determine if those people will be in peace or not. Those ceremonies or cultures are created to deal with the fear of death and to create a peace of mind for the people who they leave behind .
If all the buried will go to heaven, the heaven will be an exclusive club for the rich because they can afford to have all the nice land to be buried and all money to have the most magnificent funeral. Then the hell will be the permanent residence of those poor people.
I believe it’s not the way we die but it’s the way we live that will determine our next life. In the Buddhism point of view, we are all responsible for our own actions. Like the Tibetan Book of the Death mentions when we are crossing over we will experience the Bardo- the vivid dream like- that will guide us to other worlds. What will influence us to choose our way in specific is our own Karma. Karma is our own action. Therefore, only our own actions will determine where we are going, not the ceremony.
Personally, if my death comes peacefully, I would love to donate my organs to other people who can benefit from them and then whatever is left in my body will be cremated. I think cremation is easier for those who we leave behind.
Why we need to put burdens on someone when we will not know what is going on with us anyway.
