President.

I don't care much about politics. I don't vote. Hell, I'm not even from America. But this is something I must say just to get it out of my system.

I HATE John McCain.

I think he'll do everything to win this election. If he's willing to do these things to get the presidential seat, imagine what he'll do when he wins. He'll probably put an end to America. United will become divided.

I LOVE Barack Obama. And I hope he wins.

Panamanian Condo Hotel.

The Republic of Panama or simply Panama, an international business center and a transit country, is the southernmost country of Central America. It is located in the middle of Costa Rica, Columbia, the Carribean Sea, and the Pacific Ocean.

A city in Panama called Casco Antiguo founded in 1673, is now one of the world's most beautiful historical places. It has a range of sophisticated hotels which was cropped up within a span of few years. And now, you can own your very own hotel condominium.

Panama City's oldest continuously operating hotel is about to become its most exciting urban destination. With its Andalusian details, modern amenities, and a prime location at the heart of a UNESCO World Heritage site, Hotel Casco Antiguo will cater to sophisticated travelers who seek the kind of charm, vibrancy and style that mainstream hotels can never deliver.

Upon its completion, the restored Hotel Casco Antiguo will be a condominium-hotel with 34 rooms and a full complement of amenities. A first in Panama, guests and owners will have access to the inaccessible through in-house concierge services provided by Quintessentially, the world's leading luxury lifestyle group.

It's a great place to live and invest so register for an eBrochure here to learn more about this place. You wouldn't want to miss out on a great investment such as this. It happened to Macau and Dubai, and now, it's happening to Panama.

Camp Rock.

I've been hearing this song a lot this past week. It's a song from the movie Camp Rock which stars the Jonas Brothers. I know I'm not a fan of this kind of music but it's catchy. Plus, I always see the music video playing on the Disney Channel.

And I don't mean to sound creepy but I think Joe Jonas is cute.

I don't know what's happening to me. Next thing you know I'm watching the movie. Jeez!

Squint For Me.

There are three reasons why I still watch One Tree Hill:

1. Nathan Scott is hot.
2. Little Jamie is so cute.
3. I want to know how it ends.

I used to be a fan. I used to wait for it to come out every week and see what happens next. But then Lucas becomes a womanizing jerk and I think I got fed up with all the Lucas drama. Peyton, Brooke, Lindsey, who else? I lost track of all his women.

But to be fair, I don't think the writers have nothing good left in them. I actually enjoyed this week's episode.

The Cure's music is depressing and whiny. And if it could squint it'd be Lucas Scott.

I paraphrased but it's totally right on. I think Lucas is hot but all he does is squint, squint, squint! It's annoying. Take off your shirt already.

iLASIK Information.

Both NASA and the US Military have been using laser vision correction technologies or LASIK to increase the performance of their mission-critical personnel. This procedure which has been used by thousands and thousands of civilians in the past five years, has now been developed by the Department of Defense and NASA to help improve the vision of specialized personnel facing extreme, physically demanding conditions.

This procedure utilizes the latest in LASIK technology. It uses two lasers instead of one, as in earlier versions of the procedure. The first stage of iLASIK uses wave-front technology to map the unique characteristics of the individual’s eyes. Then, an ultra fast, computer-guided laser creates a corneal flap. This laser replaces the handheld microkeratome blade used in older forms of LASIK and makes the procedure exceptionally safe. After the flap is created, the wave-front mapping data guides a second laser for vision correction. The combination of these advanced laser technologies creates a custom-fit procedure clinically proven to provide excellent safety and visual results.

This LASIK information is good news for those people who are having eyesight problems yet hate to wear eyeglasses or contact lenses. I know these people would agree when I say that wearing contact lenses is too much hassle. You put it on your eyes, it makes you cry, then you have to remove it at the end of the day and clean it before you can even go to sleep. Not to mention you have to go to your eye doctor to have your eyes checked regularly to make sure you're wearing the correct prescription lenses.

I know I'm just a blogger so don't take my word for it. As I've said earlier, the US Military, NASA, and the US Department of Defense are all using it.

According to Steven Schallhorn, M.D., a retired U.S. Navy captain and leader of clinical research and studies done for the DOD regarding the use of LASIK:

"The DOD and NASA have validated the fact that today’s LASIK exceeds all established standards of safety and effectiveness."

Some notable results of the military’s evaluation of modern LASIK in 100 military personnel showed that 95% achieved 20/20 uncorrected vision or better. When asked, 100% of naval aviators having undergone the procedure would recommend the surgery to other naval aviators.

Everyone wants to have perfect vision and right now, based on what I have read, I can conclude that iLASIK is the best way to correct vision problems.

Triplets.

I was just staring into nothingness when the movie Blades of Glory came to mind. So while I was doing my movie trivia reading, I came across Chazz's first skating song. This is The Stroke by Billy Squier.

Then I saw something interesting. Billy Squier looks like Mika!

Then I realized that they both look like Will Ferrell. Or at least Chazz Michael Michaels.

Great American Seafood Cook-Off.

Seafood is one of the best tasting food there is. It's fresh, it's easy to get, and it's healthy.

This year's Great American Seafood Cook-Off to be held in New Orleans, Louisiana has five finalists:

Chef Paul Anders of Colorado with his Colorado Striped Bass Panzanella

Chef Tafari Campbell of Maryland with his Pan Roasted Glazed Rockfish with Peas and Carrots

Chef John Currence of Mississippi with his Mississippi Redfish Courtboullion with Seafood Dirty Rice

Chef Mark Holley of Texas with his Texas Gulf Shrimp

Chef Brian Landry of Louisiana with his Louisiana Shrimp and Andouille Cassoulet

And out of the five dishes in the cook off, Chef Brian Landry's is the recipe I found most enticing.

Shrimp and Andouille Cassoulet

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound andouille sausage, cut into ¼ inch pieces, (other smoked sausage or bacon can be substituted)
1 each sweet onion, diced
4 each celery stalks, diced
4 each garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon creole seasoning separated
1 teaspoon dry oregano
5 each whole peeled canned roma tomatoes (approx. 1 - 15 oz can)
5 each whole peeled fresh roma tomatoes
3 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
4 - 15 oz cans white kidney/cannellini beans (other white beans can be substituted)
2 bottles Michelob Amber beer
4 pounds fresh Louisiana head-on shrimp,
16-20 count
2 teaspoons fresh thyme
1 bunch green onions, chopped
3 cups breadcrumbs, panko if possible
1 ½ cups ground parmesan
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste

It looks delicious, and the ingredients are not hard to find. I'm going to try and make this this month because it's my mom and grandma's birthday month. And I wouldn't dare try changing the recipe because it's perfect the way it is.
