Laugh of the Day: How to Write the Perfect Valentine

Look, I know for some of you it's hard to come up with the right words to say on Valentine's Day.  That's okay, it's not for everybody, but here's a sure fire way to accomplish what you need to do.

Go to a dollar store and buy two Valentine's Day cards.  Buy one with a sweet and loving statement, and the other with a generic statement on it - like Happy Valentine's Day or something.  Take this card, and transcribe the words from the "sweet and loving" card underneath the generic statement.  Ta-da!! You got words your sweetheart will remember forever! LOL.  Oh, and don't forget to write, "Bianca," "Bradley," or whatever your partner's name is - above the generic statement.

Here - I'll let the video explain it for you, because it's absolutely hilarious!

The One Spanish-Speaking Video You Wished You Had Seen...

When I first saw this video a few months ago, I cried because I understand the love and compassion these two boys feel for each other.  I know, because I've been with Ryan for almost 8 years and our love continues to grow with each passing day.  But I couldn't find the time to translate the words into English for you guys, and also my blogging days were in remission.

But today, on Valentine's Day no less; I have found the same video with the words annotated in English.  The boys speak beautifully in Spanish, so maybe that's why it makes it so emotional for me, I don't know.  But the overall message is pretty clear - These two boys love each other.

The video is titled "I Love You" (Yo Te Amo) - It deserves a look. 

Enjoy.

George W. The Artist

Poor Dubya, can somebody please help him? I mean, I guess after being President 8 years and having delegated everything to Karl Rove, art is his only escape.  I mean George W, The Artist isn't so bad - I'm just curious about his state of mind.

Mind you, I have a few other things I wish to say, but I'll keep those to myself - out of respect for some of my dear friends. :-)

Movies to Watch: Romeo & Juliet

So yeah, I think I'm ready to watch Romeo and Juliet.  The upcoming movie stars Douglas Booth as the ever so gorgeous Romeo and Hailee Steinfeld, the very beautiful Juliet.  

I happen to agree with James St. James, he is the dreamiest Romeo since Leonardo Di Caprio, played alongside Claire Danes in the 1996 film rendition of the same story.

The new movie, is going to be pretty darn cool.  Ryan and I can't wait to see it.  Here's the synopsis...

In the 16th Century, young writer William Shakespeare is grappling with the story of his latest play, Romeo and Juliet. William's vivid imagination hurls him forward in time to Oxford in the 21st Century, where the feud in his play now rages for real - between two rival business families, the Montanas and the Carringtons. William, all at sea in the 21st Century, soon finds himself caught up in his own story...

Cyanide and Happiness: Car Accident

What a Hot Mess: Books Bound In Human Skin

Courtesy of World of Wonder, I thought I was losing my mind when I came across a picture of a book bound in skin.  No, not cowhide, cardboard, or paper.  Human Skin!

I remember hearing about this way back when, but I never really looked into it; Until now.

Some say Harvard has four books, others say three - but honestly, Harvard has no earthly idea amongst it's 15-million book library how many are wrapped in human hide.  And Harvard isn't the only school with books bound in skin.  What a Hot Mess!

According to the Crimson.com,  'Accessible in the library’s Elihu Reading Room, the book, entitled “Practicarum quaestionum circa leges regias...,” looks old but otherwise ordinary.

Delicate, stiff, and with wrinkled edges, the skin’s coloring is a subdued yellow, with sporadic brown and black splotches like an old banana. The skin is not covered in hair or marked by tattoos—except for a “Harvard Law Library” branding on its spine. Nothing about it shouts “human flesh” to the untrained eye.' 

And the mess gets hotter... 'The book’s 794th and final page includes an inscription in purple cursive: “the bynding of this booke is all that remains of my dear friende Jonas Wright, who was flayed alive by the Wavuma on the Fourth Day of August, 1632. King Mbesa did give me the book, it being one of poore Jonas chiefe possessions, together with ample of his skin to bynd it. Requiescat in pace.”' 

Crazy, isn't it?  You can read more about it here.

Star Trek Characters & Roles

I found this chart online and thought it was pretty cool. So being that I love Star Trek so much I thought it was only fitting I post it on my blog.  Thank you ChartGeek.

Here is a chart of practically every Star Trek bridge officer from every Star Trek show arranged according to character name and role. Please note that exact parallels are impossible to make so what I’m aiming for here are roles that are roughly analogous, not 100% the same.

The Joys of Being a Parent: Caught Red (Sprinkle) Faced

Ha ha ha, oh... the joys of being a parent!  This is for all you parents who have children or had children who were the kindest, sweetest, cutest, littlest liars. LOL.

Watch as this little boy tells mommy he didn't eat the sprinkles.  And by golly, he didn't eat them even if he had some on his face!

Worldwide Homophobia

This chart is really fascinating.  Not in the sense that I'm glad America isn't in that horrible, deep-pink and purple category, but glad that our country has come a long way.  Sure we have thousands, if not millions of people who continue to hate us - like that ignorant school teacher in the news lately.  But to think that Ryan and I could be incarcerated, or better yet, put to death in all those countries is mind-boggling to me.  It's crazy!!! 

So if you're thinking of taking a trip to any of those places - good luck.

Things We Can Do To Save The Environment - Issue No. 09 - Build a Skyscraper

The Global Warming Survival Guide

Thinking of building a new home? Buying one?  Well, take into consideration how much you can help the environment by using materials that conserve energy.  Using recycled steel, insulating concrete, cool roofing shingles, recycled wood/plastic composite lumber, Low-E windows and many more materials can help keep you cool during the summer months and warm during the winter; all while helping the environment.

Giving credit to TIME,  I'd like to thank them for showing us the many ways we can meet these goals.  Just one person can make a difference, and it starts with YOU!

9. Build a Skyscraper

Almost everything about the Bank of America tower, a soaring skyscraper under construction near Times Square in New York City, has been designed to minimize the use of energy. Take the concrete. Making the stuff from scratch is very energy intensive, so the builders are using a mix of 55% concrete and 45% slag, a waste product from blast furnaces. Mixing slag with concrete saves energy and makes the concrete stronger. The tower will save so-called gray water from washrooms and use it to flush the toilets. The building will also generate much of its own electricity from natural gas, a less potent carbon emitter than coal. These features will account for $3.5 million of a total building cost of $1.2 billion, but the owners expect to recoup that in a few years with all the energy they'll save. When it's finished next year, the tower will be the second highest in the city, but it stands alone as the greenest building in New York. [Updated]
