Spacewalk, Night race, Newman, Monsoor, no bailout!!!

The Chinese successfully completed their first ever space walk! Sometimes, you gotta wonder is the picture realy 'LIVE'? Is that footage even real? May the Chinese government also be more worried about what's going on on the inside more than just beautifying it's outside image. Human rights issues, pollution or poison issues, etc. Anyway, every developing nation will naturally face these issues, I pray that China can really make more progress internally or spiritually.


















Another first that happened over the weekend would be F-1's first ever night race in Singapore! The race was kinda boring at first, but then it produced some surprising finish! It was a very cool race... and I'm sure the fans stayed cool too! ;)















And on a sad note, actor Paul Newman died of cancer at the age of 83. Paul Newman's father's a Jew and mother is a practicing Christian science... I really have no clue what is his personal religious affiliation, but I just thought he's a cool guy and his involvement in auto racing. He did say had he found car racing earlier, he would've been involved in racing rather than acting! He owns a few racing teams in US. One of his drivers Sabastien Bourdais is now involved in F-1, but too bad Sabastien Bordais is getting his butt kicked by Sabastian Vettel and super good German kid! Anyway, back to Newman, the guy also has his own brand of salad dressing or juices and his company donates all of the profits to charity. How great is that?

Another guy worthy of rememberance is Navy Seal- Michael A. Monsoor. The guy was killed 2 years ago today. This is a guy who I've heard from lots of different sermons. I couldn't tell if some of those pastors made up the stories or what... it was until I read about him in a Corvette magazine that I realized that yeah, the story must be true! The guy owns a Corvette!

Anyway, this California native... from Garden Grove... was on a pretty confined roof top with 3 other Navy Seals. A granade was thrown onto that rooftop and he is the one closest to the exit. He could've very easily saved himself by running outta there, but instead, he laid down his body on top of that granade so that his combat brothers lives may be saved. This is a guy who actually practices what Christ preached about lying down our lives. Catholics have a Feast Day on Sept 29 celebrating the angel Michael. 'Michael' means "who is like unot God"? Monsoor is not only a true American hero, but also an angel!

Oh, btw, the oafs in Washington DC decided to NOT pass the $700billion bailout. Because of the election is near, they all want to pass it, but they'd rather other congressmen to pass it instead of themselves because the people they represent, the folks on Main street don't really want them to bail out people on Wall Street. So the stock market slid further today... Hmm... hope things gonna be alright... read about a bunch of lousy kings of Israel today... will we suffer the same fate? May God help us!!!
