Thursday Attitude - Historic 50th POST

Welcome one and ALL TO ESKIMO BOB'S HISTORIC 50th POST! (smattering applause - applause machine breaks down)

Yesterday I left my blog in your hands, my followers. You did not disappoint, except you Frederick.

(Standing in silence, shift eyes to the left [your right], watch as security escorts Frederick out.)

As I mentioned, you my followers, did not disappoint. The blog was in your hands, and the responsibility was to play perfect phrases for the situation of the welcome announcement for the historic blog. (Breathe) I was going to highlight some of the best of the best, however, when I was copying and pasting, I ended up deleting them on accident. You can see the remaining six entries on the insights of the previous blog.

I did have it on my agenda today to discuss something that really has been nagging at me; not so much a bother, but a mild annoyance really, I appreciate the fact that this little blog from Wasilla, Alaska has been seen in places that I can not even pronounce, but I am chagrined that I have not been visited by a specific place yet. Yes. Denmark.

Now I went out on a limb for them. I really did. I don't have any real ties to Denmark, nor do I have any pretend ties. If you are new to the site, and haven't followed since the beginning, first off I implore you to do so, it will only help with your sanity as we navigate through this the cyberspace; however if you need a quick update you may click {here}. So here I am - advocating for them, without any thought of remuneration, or praise, or a key to the country; but not even a visit? They are on the decline people! Maybe that's why they aren't visiting and it only underscores the severity of the situation. My lord people! I'm having a panic attack, just thinking about those poor, poor Danes. I mean - I even represented the Danish with Ren Hoek. What more can I do?

This is something that is bigger than myself. So once again, I reach out to you, my followers. We need to spread the word. Share this message to all that you can. Let them know the plight of the Danes! Maybe I'll set up a Billy Blank Boot Camp, and we can all Tae-Bo together. Remember that? It was from the late 90's and early 2000's. My friend Jack (he's white)'s wife (she's white too) from time to time pops in Billy and works out. Reason I know this, is because Jack lets me know that he comes home to his wife, she's all sweaty, being yelled at by a black man, and enjoying it. Anyway - we'll have a B.B.B.C. and raise awareness.

Oh, and by the way, if you know anyone from Iceland, please send them to here: CLICK ME!

Blog Concerns

I've received some feedback regarding the blog, that seems to have irritated or may even have offended some of you. I DO NOT APOLOGIZE! The material in question is something of which, I as an individual have little to no control over, however it is something that means a lot to me, so I share the information. I will elaborate on why it means so much, and why you too should have some concern.

In regards to the Population of Denmark, a few of you have raised concerns about this, but not in a positive or proactive manner. I have received statements just simply asking: Why do you post this? Are you trying to be internationally weird? This has no bearing on me, why do you bring it up???

Polar Bears. The Polar Bear is the answer, right now the U.S. Government is researching on whether or not to add the Polar Bear to the Endangered Species Act. They come to this conclusion based on several factors, one of which being the population of the Polar Bear. Currently, as of this posting the Polar Bear worldwide population is roughly 25,000. The total bear population* is 575,000, making the Polar Bear roughly 4.35% of the total bear population worldwide. Alarming yes, the Polar Bear makes up less than 5% of the total bear population*, clearly action needs to be taken.

Now I come back to the Danish. As of this posting, their population ranks at 5.5 million (rounded up). The total world population is 6.6 Billion (rounded up). The Danish make for only .083% of the total world population. My friends, this is a travesty! How can we, living in the age of the Cyberspace, be able to allow this to happen?!? Clearly I move that the population of Denmark be watched on continual basis, and placing the Danish on the Endangered Species list. Could it be due to global warming or environment changes? Is it due to the financial crisis being felt around the world? Further study needs to happen. I will do my part, by posting this beloved member of our worldwide self on my blogsite. Please help the Danish.

* Total Bear Population in regards to the "Big Three": Brown, Black and Polar Bears. Not taking into account Koala, Panda, Bear Markets, Baloo, Winnie, or other types of Bears unless they be of the "Big Three".
