			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><strong>My friends</strong>,</p>
<p>You may have noticed my shameless use of internet marketing on this blog (The busted tees link to the left). I already know that many of you see me as a capitialistic pig and you would be right. But the link at the left has a altruistic reason behind it. <em>I am raising money for charity.</em></p>
<p>The charity is called the<strong> &#8220;Tim Thorn new Mac fund.&#8221;</strong> Many of you have given freely to charities such as the human fund, the Yao Ming help-China-grow fund, the M.C. Hammer bankruptcy fund, and the save the XFL fund. Each one  making steps for a better world but not as much as the Tim Thorn new Mac fund will! You gave to them, why wouldn&#8217;t you give to a much better cause (except maybe the XFL thing)?</p>
<p>What I am asking you to do today is to purchase a t-shirt or five from Bustedtees.com (please make sure that you click on the link below so that I get the kick back) and 12% of your purchase will be donated to the Tim Thorn new Mac fund. All proceeds will go directly to the fund and not a bit will be applied to overhead expenses or to televisions evangelists<strong>*</strong>. It all goes to the Tim Thorn new Mac fund.</p>
<p>In addition to helping, you will receive a funny t-shirt that all your friends at school and work will be sure to talk about! (If you don&#8217;t have any friends, please purchase anyway this may be your ticket to popularity&#8211;sure beats stinky cologne again!)</p>
<p>You may be asking yourself, &#8220;Hey Tim, what do you need a new Mac for?&#8221; You would be asking a great question and it has one simple answer-I want people to bow when I whip and Apple out in public. I&#8217;m buying arrogance people, it&#8217;s that simple.</p>
<p>In addition this blog and many other creative tidbits will be created with much more ease because of my new Mac!  Don&#8217;t let me suffer with a PC one more day, this is your opportunity to save my creativity&#8230;I need you!</p>
<p>Thank you for your help,</p>
<p><strong>Tim Thorn</strong></p>
<p><strong>President of the Tim Thorn new mac fund</strong></p>
<p><em>Don&#8217;t forget, the only way to contribute is by clicking the bustedtees.com link on this very blog!</em></p>
<p>(It&#8217;s to your left)</p>
<p><strong>*Please note:</strong> A portion of the proceeds can be used in the following transactions; pyramid schemes, blackjack, poker, slots, and roulette.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>So a few weeks ago we had some fun coming up with my write in vote&#8211;Bob Barker. Now I think we need to find a running mate for John McCain. What do you think? I saw a bit on Conan the other night but I think we could do much better! So here&#8217;s who I got:</p>
<p>1. Alf-furry, lovable a great diplomat for our alien friends</p>
<p>2. Dick Vitale-perfect to spruce up the same old boring McCain Speech. Just imagine this, &#8220;I will follow Bin Laden to the gates of hell if I have to.&#8221; &#8220;Yeah baaabbbbyyy!&#8221;</p>
<p>3. Donald Trump-this actually isn&#8217;t a bad idea and he can make up for McCain&#8217;s folical challenges</p>
<p>4. Tony Robbins-I can&#8217;t help but think that America needs a motivational speaker</p>
<p>5. A Magic bullet-Don&#8217;t ask. Seriously don&#8217;t ask.</p>
<p>6. The Planter&#8217;s Peanut-Just because of the cheesy presidential campaigns you could come up with. &#8216;You&#8217;d be nuts not to vote for McCain/Planter&#8217;s&#8221; &#8220;We&#8217;ll &#8216;cashew&#8217; at the voting booth&#8221; &#8220;Break out of your shell and vote for a nut!&#8221;</p>
<p>That&#8217;s what I got for now&#8230;I&#8217;ll keep this going for a while. I want your ideas and please share why!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><i>Greetings from Nashville! </i>I am at a marketing conference in the south and I am sure enjoying myself. Gene Simmons spoke today and surprisingly he is a smart, articulate businessman. I was really impressed. He didn&#8217;t stick out his tongue or wear his costume. I&#8217;m happy I didn&#8217;t have to see that. Frankly, if I wanted to see 60 yr old men in spandex, I&#8217;d go run a marathon, do a seniors bike race, or go to the grocery store at 5:30 AM.</p>
<p>After his little rah-rah speech we got to stand in a line and get a picture with him (I will get a copy on here as soon as possible). Sadly I had to take the picture with co-workers because they were rushing the line a bit to get everybody a chance or else you would have got one heck of a fake smile from me and Gene.</p>
<p>Anyways, i will be updating you from the conference when I can and let you know of any funny situations. Oh wait, I just thought of something that drives me loco.</p>
<p>Do you ever get sick of people that ask questions just to ask questions? It seems like they just get up for the attention. Don&#8217;t get me wrong I have no problem with the occasional question, trust me I had plenty in 9th grade biology. But seriously the long leading questions to reconfirm what the speaker just said are obnoxious. Luckily I survived the first day without any intense Q&amp;A&#8217;s. I&#8217;ll keep you posted on the Q&amp;A situation&#8230;</p>
<p>Oh and never eat a slice of pizza followed by a little Chinese food. No matter how hungry you are&#8211;don&#8217;t do it!</p>

<p><i><b>You probably can&#8217;t see very well because I wasn&#8217;t supposed to take pictures (opps!) but that&#8217;s Gene speaking.</b></i></p>
