We Want Your Soul - Spoof Website

After a little research I discovered that this site is a spoof website, but when it was first forwarded to me it gave me chills:

We Want Your Soul
http://www.wewantyoursoul.com/

Although it is a fake site, I am sure they have had a lot of people that have actually tried to sell their soul. In a world that is has become more and more secular and Godless, technology is getting so scary that sites like this can easily trick someone into believing it is real.

Pray for change…

Cell Phone Popping Popcorn a Hoax

Ok, ok – enough is enough. I have gotten three forwards in the past couple of weeks with a video of cell phones supposedly popping popcorn.

http://www.koreus.com/video/telephone-portable-mais-popcorn.html

Sorry folks – it was a hoax cooked up by a Bluetooth headset manufacturer called Cardo Systems as an internet marketing scheme. Here is the CNN Report on it: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/tech/2008/07/09/carroll.cellphone.popcorn.cnn

And here is the Snopes article on it (Read to the bottom and the explain the videos were a marketing scheme)

Looks like people will have to stick to the microwave for popcorn!

If you have CNN, PLEASE make sure that you watch, record, or TIVO this series. Powerful stuff.

CNN – Black in America
http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2008/black.in.america/
Celebrities, students discuss the black experience in U.S.

CNN Presents: Black in America, July 23 and 24 at 9 p.m. ET.
http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2008/06/20/bia.what.it.means.cnn

I AM presents four African-Americans who challenge conventional notions of blackness. But then defining what it means to be black has long been a matter of debate within the African-American community. The R&B singer, Billy Paul, once had a song called, "Am I Black Enough?"

What are your long term goals?

Hello Everybody,

I was looking on CNN website at the 2008 Fortune 500 list, and here are the top 20 companies:

1. Wal-Mart Stores
2. Exxon Mobil
3. Chevron
4. General Motors
5. ConocoPhillips
6. General Electric
7. Ford Motor
8. Citigroup
9. Bank of America
10. AT&T
11. Berkshire Hathaway
12. J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.
13. AIG
14. Hewlett-Packard
15. IBM
16. Valero Energy
17. Verizon Communications
18. McKesson
19. Cardinal Health
20. Goldman Sachs

Notice something? Even with oil prices through the roof and the economy in a slump, a majority of the top companies are OIL and ENERGY companies, with banks, communications, and health companies filling the gaps. Companies are folding left and right, but these companies are riding strong. Coincidence? Not at all.

What are you doing to secure your future? Are you saving? Do you have a plan in the event that the company you work for went out of business tomorrow? How much money do you blow on things you really don’t need? I hear people talking about how much they hate their job, their co-workers, their car, their house, etc. What about the people who just lost their job, can’t afford to keep or put gas in their car, and are homeless because of natural disaster? Everyone needs to come to terms and realize that the world is evolving outside of our immediate situation.

Consider this either your wakeup call or confirmation of the changes you need to make. It definitely made me think – in the past I have been guilty of many of the things I just mentioned. Everyone - WE NEED TO STEP UP OUR GAME. What are your long term goals?
