It's official. I'm a 'heartthrob' -- to all toddlers and teens. i do love kids but why, oh why can't they be grown men, for a change?! "go with me to the zoo, or maybe to chuck e. cheese's?", asked a very hopeful, dreamy-eyed 4 yr old -- then offered me the only drink he ever knew in his young life... milk. he was looking at me so intensely that i had to smile and break it to him gently, "well, maybe next time -- when you're older". "oh boy, what a ladies' man," i told his mother while he gazed at me with stars in his eyes. before they left church, he demanded to be hugged, and coaxed me one last time to 'go out with him.' sigh. well at least, i still get to be noticed... c'est la vie!
anyway, before this month ends, i'm posting my list of top 5 pulsating news.

To a philosopher all news, as it is called, is gossip, and they who edit and read it are old women over their tea.
-- Henry David Thoreau

Yes, we know, you're one in a million. But you're much more unique than that, in ways you've probably never imagined. Here are some of the more unusual biometric methods now being explored.


if some of you haven't read this and you're into all that sci-fi hoopla, this is absolutely the news for ya, i guarantee.


PARIS - President Jacques Chirac moved swiftly forward Monday with a widely expected government shakeup to save face at home as European Union officials worked to control damage after French voters rejected the EU's first constitution, dealing a potentially fatal blow to the charter.
The results of Sunday's referendum were a humiliating blow to Chirac and a disavowal of his government, left reeling by the decisive victory of the constitution's opponents.


paris my love! if eet is zee way eet is going to be, stand your ground and be 'eard!


In the Star Wars saga, the Skywalker clan has its roots on the Tatooine -- a desert-covered planet revolving around two suns. A theoretical investigation has explored the likelihood for worlds like this to exist.
And it looks like the nearest Tatooine may be closer than a galaxy far, far away.


uh-huh. another treat for star wars junkies.


Finally researchers have come up with a reason other than pure laziness for why teenagers can't shower and brush their teeth or unload the dishwasher and wipe down the counter.


it seems science now has a plausible excuse for teens after centuries of parent yapping.


CIA is conducting a secretive war game, dubbed "Silent Horizon," this week to practice defending against an electronic assault on the same scale as the Sept. 11 terrorism attacks.
The three-day exercise, ending Thursday, was meant to test the ability of government and industry to respond to escalating Internet disruptions over many months, according to participants.


oh, and while you're at it, can you pleassseee defend your people against pop-up assaults?! CASHBACK BUDDY is one of the freakin' nastiest pop-up ads ever to self-install on my pc!


ok, i honestly don't want to include this crap on my list, but what the heck? some might even get a kick out of its gross stupidity.
well, that's all folks! another month, another fresh start.
