Surgery is now more popular than ever. Unfortunately it's cosmetic surgery that seems to be taking over. Breast augmentations, face lifts, and even tummy tucks can be seen as typical procedures especially amongst women with insecurities who are looking for the "quick fix." The dangers of surgery are often swept under the rug because of the huge profits they bring. According to some of the nation's top anesthesiologists it's becoming more common for patients to wake up during surgery! Imagine half way through your face lift you wake up and notice your skin becoming acquainted with one of the doctor's sharpest medical utensils. In most cases if this happens it's because the anesthesiologists has misjudged the amount of anesthetics required to keep the patient unconscious. A patient's reaction to the anesthetics can depend on the consumption of daily alcohol, blood pressure, and body fat. It's hard to diagnose these reactions within a short period of time - this can be a problem especially because most cosmetic surgeries are done within 2-3 consultations. Truthfully patients are less likely to research anesthetics when dealing with cosmetic surgery; unfortunately they are more concerned with the physical results after the surgery. Several months ago Donda West (mother of Kanye West) made it all the way through her surgery; however she eventually died from complications to anesthetics (post medication) prescribed by her surgeon. In my opinion the medication is just as important as the surgery itself.

Reebok recently endorsed a decision to create a "Kool-Aid scented sneaker" line. Not only can you live up to your racial stereotype of enjoying orange flavored Kool Aid during dinner, but now you can impress your peers with an idiotic design from Reebok that will be sure to have everyone hinting - "add more sugar please."

....Just when you thought sneakers couldn't get any more stupid it seems like the marketing of the Obama campaign has no limitations. Hence; Barack Obama Air Force Ones. The things people do for attention.

Here in Chicago it's not unusual to see several of Mother Nature's little friends. Last weekend while I was riding with my friend (Matt) and we spotted a possum in the alley. Possums are weird little creatures, especially the ones seen on the Southside of Chicago. Unlike squirrels, rats, or rabbits - possums don't seem very bothered by human presence. Most of the time when approached they stand firm and make a hissing noise. I remember a couple of years back while walking down the street I spotted a possum; the little fella didn't budge after I made several attempts to scare him away. After 2 minutes I realized the possum had claimed his territory and it was in my best interest to take another route. Coward or no coward, I'd rather take my chances with a stray dog than some nasty possum.

.....Speaking of animals. This weekend I managed to snap a shot of my cat watching TV. Here's video below of me and Chunky tonight (warning: may be subject to animal abuse).

Kanye West's new music video features video vixen Rita G. For a small price and a lost of dignity you can purchase her used panties. Now although that's completely disgusting so far she's making a great profit.

Obsession is one thing, but stupidity is another. Someone obviously didn't give this young lady the memo as evidence to her Hello Kitty tattoo.

It's no secret....girls boys just wanna have fun.

Poor Lindsay Lohan is starving for attention as of lately, it seems her crack addiction is no longer front page worthy - so now she must resort to an awkward nude portrayal of Marylin Monroe.

When Miley Cyrus isn't selling out jammed packed arenas for her Hannah Montana concerts, she can be seen as another typical promiscuous lost teenage girl. These pictures are proof that Ms. Cyrus has a life after Hannah Montana, prehaps "Girls Gone Wild" could do the trick? . Disney must be proud.

This past weekend I along with several friends attended to the 2008 Chicago Auto Show. From high end luxury cars, to futuristic prototypes - the auto show has it all. Like last year, I did my best to so see every car and gadget featured. Overall I had great time. Outside of the Auto Show it's been pretty festive as of lately. As always I try to make the best out of every occassion.

Final Thought: I got 99 problems but.....
