Places You Should Know
I have looked at thousands of web sites, the ones listed below (in no particular order) are among the best. Have fun and try to learn something will ya :)? If you know of a very good link not listed here, Send It To Me and I'll put a link to your site on this page.
AIRC - How would you like to make only $3,000-$4,000 a year and live in a place where there's no jobs, no adequate health care, no indoor plumbing, no heat or insulation and very, very meager sources of food & clothing? Oh yeah, there's also filth, disease, virtually no resources, rampant despair, high suicide rates, and violence. Please help the Oglala Sioux Indians in South Dakota.
David Icke - This man is a genius.
Google - This is THE best search engine out there, don't waste your time on the others. Google has over 1 billion pages indexed!
Geocities - Whenever I can't find something via search engines, I go to Geocities and surprisingly I've almost always been able to find what I'm looking for.
Amazon.com - I usually don't recommend retail sites, however, I go here to read reviews of books and CDs, then I go to the library and check them out rather than buy them (ne ner ne ner). Who says you can't beat the system?
Internet Movie Database - A wonderful resource about any information you want pertaining to movies, actors, or actresses.
Reel.com - An outstanding site about movies. They have a great search engine that will match your movies of preference to other similar films.
Bookfinder - A great resource! The best bookfinder (new or used) on the Internet.
Search Engines Worldwide - A HUGE directory of 1300+ search engines from over 170+ countries.
Emode - One of the most enjoyable sites on the Internet. Take many free tests here. For example, one of their more popular test is, "What breed of dog are you?" I turned out to be a chihuahua (*l*) -- the funny thing is I'm over 6' tall and over 200 lbs.
Top Ten Links - Want to know how something ranks? This site lists just about everything imaginable into top ten lists based on viewers reviews.
Foreign Films - In many cases, foreign films are better than American films. For example, The Seventh Seal (Swedish Film), Run Lola Run (German), Rashomon (Japanese), Heimat (German), 2nd Heimat (German), Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (Chinese), Wings of Desire (German), The Seven Samurai (Japanese), M (German), The Stalker (Russian), The Samurai Trilogy (Japanese), The Terrorist (Sri Lankan), Jackie Chan's Police Story (Hong Kong), 8 1/2 (Italian), Ikiru (Japanese), To Live (Chinese), Triumph of the Will (German), The Gods Must Be Crazy (South African), A Pure Formality (French), Walkabout (Australian), Jean de Florette (French), and Manon of Spring (French). I rest my case.
The Realm of Existentialism - This may be the very best site I've seen yet on the Internet...it has it all -- first rate content, excellent design, ease of navigation, outstanding links, etc. The cool thing about Existentialism is, it's not monolithic, it's multifaceted.
Laugh of the Day - Funny, clean humor. Their newsletter is great.
The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy - Self explanatory. Great ready reference for things pertaining to philosophy.
Cheryl Ladd - I've always had a "thing" for Cheryl Ladd. She has class, beauty, and sweetness, all three make a perfect combination. Hey, she's a Cancer, too (*g*). Cancer women are the best.
Politics 1 - Click on the "Parties" link and browse some very interesting sites (this holds true even if you don't like politics).
Yahoo - IMO, they have the best news page.
About.com - Yahoo on steroids.
Kheper - A HUGE, outstanding personal web site covering just about anything spiritual or religious.
Rich Geib's Universe - A friend of mine. Rich is probably the most well read person I've every met. His site is first rate and HUGE (600+ pages).
The Free Site - The best free stuff site out there, however, I have one minor qualm -- the design is very bland.
The Library of Congress - An awesome reference site.
Celebrity Legs Hall of Fame - Wow! What a collection of classy, beautiful women. Out of all the female celebrities on this site, the top ten most beautiful legs, IMO, would be: Angie Dickinson, Elizabeth Monthgomery, Tina Louise, Cyd Charisse, Lynda Carter, Peggy Flemming, Mary Tyler Moore, Sophia Loren, Ann Margaret, and Joyce DeWitt.
All Music - A wonderful site pertaining to just about anything connected to music.
Sea and Sky - Absolutely gorgeous web site.
NFL - Football! The best sport, of course.
The Raiders - My favorite sports team. Silver and black, baby.

Soccer - The world's most popular sport and, IMO, the third best sport.
The NBA - The fourth best sport.
Tennis - The fifth best sport (unless Wimbeldon is on, then it becomes the third best sport).
Bob Marley - One cool thing about reggae music, it always makes one relax and be happy. IMO, Bob Marley is the king of reggae.
Doing Nothing.com - Anyone that writes a book called "Doing Nothing" has to be alright. Steve Harrison is a very seminal, unique author.
Allan Weisbecker's Site - Allan, you're a true bohemian. "Peace Be The Journey." You'll love his book In Search of Captain Zero.

Peter Jenkins - One of my favorite contemporary writers.
Hitbox - Click on the My Ranking page and you'll be able to peruse the top 1000 sites divided by category.

Click TV - One of the better online TV guides.
Urantia - One of the most unusual things I've ever read -- Star Wars meets Gnosticism meets the Bible. The Urantia book is a very trippy huge compendium (3500+ pages).
The New Church - This church is based on the teachings of the fascinating, sagacious mystic, Emmanuel Swedenborg. These people were very nice to me. I ordered several books from them and they said don't worry about the money up front -- send it to them whenever I could. Wow. How many businesses would do that?
Andy Kauffman - Geez, this guy was weirder than me. Andy was a very controversial yet amusing comedian and entertainer.
