Tom Daley's Daily Workout

Olympic Swimmer Tom Daley enjoys his daily workouts.  My only question is...  Why put on shorts if you're going to take them off anyway, right?  Calm down you gay boys, it's just Tom Daley.

Make You Feel My Love by Sean Rumsey

I first heard Sean Rumsey's cover of Adele's "Make You Feel My Love" over a year ago, and I still can't put it down.  I absolutely love his rendition of the song.

I learned today he was actually a contestant on The Voice currently airing in the UK.  According to the Mirror "he is on the verge of being signed by a "host of record labels"".

 

And The Best-Written TV Show Ever is...

It feels like I'm having Déjà vu or something.  I could've sworn I told somebody the other day at work "Game of Thrones is so well-written, but whether it can beat The Sopranos, I don't know." And Lord and behold, The Sopranos is named the best-written TV show ever.  Too weird for words.

Don't worry fans of M*A*S*H, Seinfield, Mad Men, The West Wing, Breaking Bad, Six Feet Under, and many others; Your show was on this same list of top 101 best-written shows.  Over the weekend, the Writer's Guild of America released its list and TIME magazine ran an editorial about it.  You can read about it here, and check out the list here.

Quoted - Andrew Garfield on Gay Marriage

Awww, Our Spidey in his "It Gets Better" T-shirt

“Of course I’m in favor of marriage equality. Same-sex couples should have the same rights as anybody else  - there is no argument against equality.... How can anyone argue against compassion and understanding?”

"WHERE ARE MY DRAGONS???"

He's the gay hairstylist who's been giving the recaps for the episodes of Game of Thrones.  And after this past Sunday's episode I needed this.  For those who have not seen the series or read the books, it's probably not a good idea to watch this.

I Haven't Been Fully Honest With You... (NSFW due to some upset texters)

Last month, comedian Nathan Fielder from Comedy Central asked his twitter followers to text their parents about a fake drug deal, and the outcome was absolutely hilarious!

This time, he asked his followers to text their loved ones, "I haven't been fully honest with you," and not reply for at least an hour.  I'm pretty sure some of them wished they hadn't done it. LOL.

The hilarity continues after the jump...

If Only You Could Share Your Coke

So what is Coca Cola famous for, aside from the bottle and the red and white colors?  Sharing.  Yep.  You've seen the countless ads about "sharing a coke", but I promise you've never seen anything like this.

Much like "The Thinnest Vending Machine In The World" I introduced you to last month, you will think this video is cool. Check it out, because you may find yourself sharing a coke sooner than you think.

Things We Can Do To Save The Environment - Issue No. 20 - Check the Label

Whenever Ryan and I buy an appliance or something new for our home that requires the use of electricity, we look at those yellow stickers that say "EnergyGuide".  I'm sure you've seen them.  And while the prices may often be a little steep, the end result is a lower bill.  And who doesn't want to save money and help the environment at the same time?

ENERGY STAR is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency voluntary program that helps businesses and individuals save money and protect our climate through superior energy efficiency. Learn more about ENERGY STAR.  

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

20. Check the Label

You wouldn't buy a car without knowing its gas mileage. Why not do the same when choosing energy-efficient ovens or even supermarkets and hotels? Energy Star, a rating system by the Environmental Protection Agency, will help you find them. Approved products can be pricier, but they cost less to power. Commercial buildings account for nearly 18% of U.S. greenhouse-gas emissions, but those with the Energy Star label consume 35% less energy than the average. By using Energy Star appliances at home, consumers can reduce their utility bill as much as 30%.

Make sure to follow Blade 7184 every Tuesday for a new issue of Things We Can Do To Save The Environment.  Each issue is thought-provoking, informative and may hold the key to saving your children and grand-children's future.  Please feel free to click on my logo to read previous issues.

Snap! Crackle! Pop!

As real as it is, this ad will either garner Dr. Ryan Lee new customers, or keep them from ever visiting a Chiropractor in their life. LOL.  Seriously, what was he thinking?  On a side note, is it me, or are all these girls young and beautiful?  Oh Dr. Lee.

Are People Really This Stupid? Issue No. 36 - Taco Shell Love

OMG, I don't even know what to say.  Are people really this stupid, or are we stupid for eating at these places?  

Geez.  I know these workers get very low pay, and some need this job to pay for school, books, or other necessities in life.  But if you hate your job so much, don't make love to our Taco Shells.

While Taco Bell has yet to respond to this Facebook photo, KFC fired an employee in February for making love to some mashed potatoes.

An iPad Finger Painting Masterpiece

The Mona Lisa of the North, or better known as the "Girl with a Pearl Earring" is an oil on canvas painting created by artist Johannes Vermeer in 1665.  But today I'm actually blogging about Japanese artist, Seikou Yamaoka and his amazing video.  Using his iPad Mini, Yamaoka created a near-perfect reproduction of Vermeer's painting which is pretty darn cool.  Check it out.

Student Loan Debt Has Surprassed Both Credit Card and Auto Loan Debt

Not to burst everyone's bubble this morning, but student debt just surpassed credit card and auto loan debt by a sizeable margin and the future doesn't look too bright either.  Unless President Obama, Elizabeth Warren and the GOP can find a solution...

Courtesy of Mother Jones:

If you're one of the 37 million Americans with student loan debt, you're in for a real treat come July 1. That's when interest rates on federal student loans are set to rise to 6.8 percent—double the current rate of 3.4 percent. That deadline has lawmakers scrambling for a fix. There are a bunch of proposals out there, including Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren's call for students to be allowed to pay the low, low rate that big banks pay for short-term borrowing; a plan President Barack Obama laid out in his budget in April; and the GOP plan that just passed the House—a plan Obama hates.

Whatever lawmakers and the president ultimately decide matters a lot. Over the past 25 years, the cost of going to college has spiked 440 percent. Since 2004, student loan debt in this country has tripled, and now stands close to $1 trillion. Check it out here.

A Real Final Destination

I honestly believe I've cheated death on multiple occasions.  I won't waste your time describing each incident, but suffice it to say, most were in my twenties, and most involved alcohol. 

Buzzfeed put together this video of a few blokes lucky to be alive, including a man who could feel a bear eating his brain, but he played dead.

Michele Bachmann's Real Retirement Video

Leave it to Funny or Die to make a parody of Michele Bachmann's retirement video.  It actually isn't too far off.  LOL.  Make sure to catch a special cameo by her "behind the candelabra" husband, Marcus.
