Sexual Pressure

noreply@blogger.com (John Marine) — Thu, 23 May 2013 14:56:17 PDT

(UPDATED: May 23, 2013) Pressured into sex or being sexy? It seems tough to try to avoid sex and being sexy in today's postmodern times. In no way am I suggesting there is nothing wrong with this or dabbling with being sexy. However, I feel there is constant and persistent pressure to be sexy. Mainstream society will likely honor and praise those who are in the vein of "sex, drugs, and rock and roll." Society will praise the male who is either overbearingly handsome or has a body...

World's Worst Tenants

noreply@blogger.com (John Marine) — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:19:27 PDT

"World's Worst Tenants" on Spike TV is a show that I have been watching a lot of lately. I usually watch Spike only for watching wrestling, but I've recently been seeing this show a lot lately. Allow me to review this show based on various episodes I've seen. This will be my chance to share a review of this show here in my personal blog. Thank you for visiting "John's Blog Space!"

John's Corner: Away

noreply@blogger.com (John Marine) — Thu, 02 May 2013 10:04:51 PDT

(UPDATED: May 2, 2013) This "John's Corner" is about why I haven't been blogging lately. Now before any of you think I've somehow lost motivation to blog, think again. I've faced some computer and online troubles that have led me to blog less often. In fact, I haven't prepared many posts since facing these troubles. I will explain what has happened. What happens is that at some random times while connected to a browser (or sometimes away from browsing), my PC would either randomly...

"Coming Out"

noreply@blogger.com (John Marine) — Sun, 24 Mar 2013 20:48:37 PDT

When someone "comes out," he/she announces and admits being gay. Why is this a big deal? Most people feel hateful or intolerant of people who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, or whatever. Acceptance of one's gay lifestyle can be a difficult task. Some people may never want to associate with or be around certain gay people- even friends and family! Considering that people can have strong hostility towards those who are gay or transgendered, there are two parts of "coming out"- the...

Too Much, Too Little, or Just Right?

noreply@blogger.com (John Marine) — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 13:05:32 PDT

Too much? Too little? Or just right? We never know if we have prepared or carried too much or too little for anything in life. You may be going on a trip, and you don't have enough with you for your trip. You may engage in something, but may not have enough to make the experience great. One never knows if he/she ever has enough to get through a certain experience. The challenge of having too much or too little for something is a very common problem we all face. How do we know if what...

"The Reveal"

noreply@blogger.com (John Marine) — Sat, 16 Mar 2013 09:55:35 PDT

The American Le Mans Series and the Grand-Am Road Racing Association have announced a merger back around August 2012. At the Chateau Elan hotel at Sebring International Raceway, and in an event called "The Reveal," a host of individuals representing both the ALMS and Grand-Am and many journalists all converged for this big announcement uniting both the ALMS and the Grand-Am as one unified series. This unification for the ALMS and Grand-Am is almost as impactful as the unification of the...

Sushi Rolls

noreply@blogger.com (John Marine) — Fri, 15 Mar 2013 21:30:47 PDT

A lot of people love eating sushi rolls. Some love sushi rolls regards to what the proper kind of sushi rolls are. I personally like sushi rolls myself. Some others are more into real sushi. This blog post, however, is all about sushi rolls. It is the more "modest" (if you will) sushi that I will make mention to. Please note that this blog post is about sushi rolls. Many people into real sushi enjoy having real sushi as opposed to sushi rolls. This is actually a topic I wanted to...

Qubicle Constructor

noreply@blogger.com (John Marine) — Fri, 08 Mar 2013 19:32:21 PST

(UPDATED: March 8, 2013) Making voxel models can be tough. One program that makes things a bit less complicated is Qubicle Constructor. It allows you to create and edit voxel images to your liking. If you are a gamer, you can even design voxel models for games (like Duke Nukem 3D, Minecraft, and Ace of Spades) through Qubicle Constructor. Qubicle Constructor can even be used with the Unity 3D engine for commercial game development. No matter what your needs are, Qubicle Constructor has...

Anger

noreply@blogger.com (John Marine) — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 21:06:18 PST

Having anger is healthy. How you manage it, though, can make a big difference. Some people can manage being angry to where they get upset while not completely losing it. Some others... well, they'll go on tirades and don't want to be bothered. Some angry people can be violent and physically abusive. The scary thing about being angry is that a person has a certain capability of anger that we don't even know we have. It is like finding a beast within you that needs just the right cue(s) to...

Bruno Mars

noreply@blogger.com (John Marine) — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 11:16:41 PST

Bruno Mars is one of the finest singers in today's landscape of music. The (born: October 8, 1985)-year old has some of the smoothest vocals and some of the coolest songs of any recent recording artist. I'll showcase his music here on John's Blog Space for my music-loving audience. Perhaps my audience can get to gauge his talent and what he brings to today's music scene. This blog post is mostly a look at his music. --- A Brief Look at Bruno Mars ---Peter Gene Hernandez goes by...

Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4

noreply@blogger.com (John Marine) — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 14:53:45 PST

The Murciélago was a hot Lamborghini. However, and unlike most flagships, replacement models must be made. The Murciélago's replacement is the immensely beautiful Aventador LP700-4. This Lamborghini Aventador draws its DNA from the Réventon I once did a "Car Style" post on. This beast of a car packs 691 horsepower from its 6.5-liter V12, and it can get from 0-100km in 2.9 seconds, all the way to a top speed of about 350 kph (or 217 mph). I think this is a beautiful-looking car. How can...

Reduced to Lowest Terms

noreply@blogger.com (John Marine) — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 10:50:40 PST

In mathematics, fractions can be reduced to their lowest terms. In society, some people and things are treated like fractions- reduced to their lowest terms by others, and usually not good terms. Being reduced to such terms by some people make people and things feel worthless and meaningless. It means certain people and certain things are cheapened to some people. Here to discuss another topic regarding people being cheapened, welcome to John's Blog Space! --- Reduced to Lowest...

Blogging 101 (Deals)

noreply@blogger.com (John Marine) — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 21:49:21 PST

"Deals" on Live Well Network did a segment on blogging in one of its latest episodes. Katishia "Kat" Cosley chatted with a blogger named Tiffany Ivanowski of "My Litter." The segment regarded starting your own blog. Most of the advice is so true that I wanted to feature it here while also adding my own commentary. So to my international audience who want a little insight on getting started blogging, I will use this video while also expressing extra points based on my blogging...

Beyoncé

noreply@blogger.com (John Marine) — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 14:30:30 PST

Houston's own Beyoncé Knowles is best known for being part of the super group Destiny's Child. Beyoncé also expanded her appeal to dancing, acting, and various other roles. She recently was the Halftime superstar for Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans and got rave reviews for her performance. Many would say she had an electrifying and powerful performance at Super Bowl XLVII. So much so, that she literally sucked the power out of the Louisiana Superdome that night (inside joke).

Gun Control

noreply@blogger.com (John Marine) — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 22:57:40 PST

Though JBS is a positive place, I can't guarantee every topic is a comfortable one to discuss. This is certainly one of them. I am absolutely uncomfortable discussing anything related to violence or lethal weapons. However, gun control has been a hot-button issue of late. Various incidents such as the mass shootings at Virginia Tech, the mass shooting at a Colorado movie theater for the premiere of "Batman: Dark Rising," and the disgusting mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary have all...

My blog passed 2,000,000 hits all-time (Blogger/Blogspot statistics) today! John's Blog Space celebrated its fourth anniversary on January 23, 2013; and now this view milestone was wonderful to accomplish and recognize. Very few blogs under Blogger/Blogspot statistics have 2 million blog hits, let alone even reaching seven figure views. So I feel like I have reached rare air among most blogs among the Blogger/Blogspot interface. Am I happy? You bet your backside I am! This blog post is...

I Want the Best For You

noreply@blogger.com (John Marine) — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 22:05:48 PST

When you meet people, or at least when I meet people in person or online, I always tend to think of others' dreams or problems. I feel the best way to win one's respect is to offer hope and good fortune towards dreams, and working with people who may have certain problems. I always say that if you are able and capable to help others with problems that others have disclosed, do your best to provide calming and respectful words to others. Someone may have visions of greater things and reaching...

2014 Chevrolet Corvette

noreply@blogger.com (John Marine) — Sat, 19 Jan 2013 15:00:20 PST

By now, you may have seen pictures of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The 2014 Corvette marks the seventh generation of this iconic American sports car. The Stingray namesake has been resurrected for America's sports car. With a new Corvette comes a new persona and style. For some people, its style is a serious diversion that you either are going to love or loathe. Certainly worthy of love is its 450hp V8 to power this new-age Stingray Corvette. It is a new-age 'Vette that also delivers a...

Big Kid!

noreply@blogger.com (John Marine) — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 12:21:53 PST

I'm a big kid. I'm an old teenager. I am still young and youthful even though January 15, 2013 marks my 30th birthday (dirty 30s, baby!). Remaining youthful even as you get older helps you to feel better about yourself for a long time to come. And if anything, birthdays are to be cherished and honored. Why? It's simple- you've lived a full year of life and are ready to start a new full year of your life. In essence, a birthday is like a new year celebration- only a new year of your life....

Daytona USA (PS3 and XBOX 360)

noreply@blogger.com (John Marine) — Wed, 09 Jan 2013 19:21:03 PST

Daytona USA for the PlayStation 3 and the XBOX 360 is much different from the Daytona USA I blogged about a long time ago. This version is an arcade-perfect rendition of the 1994 arcade racing classic. This game is nostalgia for veterans and a new experience for newcomers. You can enjoy this title on your PS3 by buying it from the PlayStation Store, or you XBOX 360 gamers can buy this game from the XBOX Live Marketplace. For the first time ever on John's Blog Space, I review an...

New Year Thoughts

noreply@blogger.com (John Marine) — Tue, 01 Jan 2013 17:50:57 PST

Happy new year! I must say that I am very pleased at the attitude people have shown in regards to the new year. The majority of people I've come across look at the new year and look ahead to the new year with renewed optimism. That is a healthy attitude to have with a new year. I am happy that people don't look at a new year like a continuation of the previous year's woes. If you look at the new year as the persistence of woes from last year, and if you don't work towards making the new...

Hump Day

noreply@blogger.com (John Marine) — Wed, 26 Dec 2012 20:00:15 PST

Wednesday is often called "Hump Day," as it is the middle day of the week. There is sometimes a psychological impact with Wednesday... at least, for me. You see, a good or a bad week so far could change its course heading into the second half of the week. A bad week can improve. A good week can go down the tubes. While it is fun to call Wednesday as Hump Day, Wednesday can sometimes be a psychological hump to one's week. There have certainly been Wednesdays where I felt like my having a...

The Importance of Christmas

noreply@blogger.com (John Marine) — Mon, 24 Dec 2012 11:35:45 PST

Family and love are more important than any gifts. What gets lost in Christmas time is figuring out what is more important: gifts or love. Christmas- like a lot of other holidays- are big for commercial reasons. People want gifts and such. However, focusing too much on materialistic things takes away from the real reason why Christmas is celebrated and honored. It is a time of peace and love celebrated with family and friends. But to most people, Christmas is primarily just a time for...
