Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me.

Chris Brown Destroys Studio on Good Morning America

A lot of good those anger management classes did for Chris Brown,  he lost his marbles on Good Morning America this morning.  

Visibly frustrated and full of anger, Brown tore off his shirt, broke through a glass window with a chair, and briskly walked the streets of New York shirtless.

All it takes is a little push of a button to send this young man off.  He then proceeds to tweet, “I’m so over people bringing this past shit up!!! Yet we praise Charlie sheen and other celebs for there bullshit.

I don't know about you, but this boy has some serious issues.  I'm guessing "Dancing with the Stars" will dismiss him from his performance next week. It was only a  matter of time, before he did something stupid.  He is currently on probation, so you know what this means?

See what started it all...

Remember - We Still Have The Cheapest Gas

With gas prices going up, and people complaining day in, and day out, on how President Obama and our government are screwing with us. Remember, you could be paying $8.04 a gallon, as in the U.K.  People fail to understand that the demand for gas is high; we have more people driving. Not to mention the conflicts occurring in the Middle East, this too is a contributing factor.

So instead of listening to Sarah Palin rant on the "$4-Per-Gallon President," Ben Jervey (Contributing Editor, Environment) decided to take a closer look at gasoline prices around the world. Mrs. Palin might be interested to learn, that the world already has quite a few $4-Per-Gallon Presidents. In fact, the world already has $6-Per-Gallon Parliaments, $7-Per-Gallon Prime Ministers, and $8-Per-Gallon Presidents!

OMG Hilarious! - Bad News, Good News

Outrageous Products: Ab-hancer

I swear, there's ridiculous products, then there's plain stupid.  I don't even know where to begin with this.  I'll just let the photo speak for itself.

 

If only it were that easy.  

Well hey, at least there's adjustable straps. I guess that means "one size fits all."

Can "The Voice" Bring Back Our Diva, Christina Aguilera?

Quite Fascinating...

If there were ever a job that could bring someone back from the brink of self-destruction, it would be "The Voice."  This may be Christina's saving grace after all.  The show is title is such, because the judges are literally with their backs turned to the singers, and only get to hear their voice.

Christina Aguilera, Blake Shelton, Cee Lo Green, and Adam Levine will be the judges on NBC's new show, set to premiere on April 26th.  Oh, and Carson Daly will be playing the host.  You may remember me blogging about it 3 weeks ago, and I wasn't to keen on the idea of a new singing competition, especially during American Idol, but I may have a change of heart.  Maybe.


I'll be honest, after watching the promo and learning more about the show, I got a little intrigued.   In the promo, Adam Levine explains, “The biggest difference between this show and all of the other vocal competition shows is that it’s a blind audition…Remember the ’70s? There were some sketchy-looking people that had gorgeous voices.

Can this save Christina?  You be the judge...

Doggone it Denver, Did You Do It?

I can tell this man loves his dogs, just by the way he talks to them.  They rule in the house, just like mine and Ryan's little monsters and their momma.  This man's dogs are so lucky to have such unconditional love and I'm sure they give it back in so many ways.

It's obviously not Macy, here.
It's funny, but dogs know when they've done wrong.  Ryan and I occasionally leave our chihuahuas out of their bedroom and let them roam around the living room, kitchen and dining area.  When we don't hear them playing anymore, we get up to check on them, and they're nowhere to be found  - they retreated to their bedroom.  One, because they pottied, or two, they broke into something they shouldn't have and did some escándalo.

Denver, recognizes he did wrong by eating the kitty snacks and all he does is grin, it is the cutest thing you've ever seen.  Every time I see this video, it reminds me of my little Princess.  She was so precious - she would always know when she did wrong, and I would always forgive her.  I loved her so.

 

The music that accompanied this video was perfect!  I loved every bit of it.

Glee's Chord Overstreet Poses Shirtless for the Streets of Los Angeles

Glee man, Chord Overstreet is looking mighty fine these days.  According to JustJared.com, he showed off his six-pack abs while taking a dip in a pool overlooking downtown Los Angeles.  The 22- year-old posed shirtless for photographer Christan Rios.


Don't Piss-off The Person Waiting to Park

You know how they tell you not to piss off restaurant staff, because who knows what they may do to your food?  I worked in the restaurant business for 6 years, trust me, I know. Well, the same holds true for stealing someone else's parking spot, especially when they've been waiting for quite a while.

The guy you see in the video below, is waiting patiently for the GMC Yukon to leave, when all of a sudden you see a woman speed through and park in that spot.

What does the man do?  He gets out of his car, walks nonchalantly towards the convertible Mustang, steps in, and relieves himself.  So how would you feel?

And If The Queen Says It Shall Be, Then It Shall Be! - Part Deux

Who knew I would be using the same title for another post?  

Lady Gaga made that statement on the Jay Leno Show, back in February, when referring to an email from Madonna and her people wishing Gaga luck on her latest single, "Born This Way."

This time around I'm using it, because If the queen (Lynda Carter) says it shall be, then it shall be!  On Friday, Mark Malkin from Entertainment Weekly sat down and talked to Lynda Carter and here's what she had to say...

"I think she looks fabulous," said Carter, who originated the role in the classic (and oh-so-campy!) series in the mid-'70s. "It's a new look and, jeez, her body looks fantastic."

Carter wants everyone to give Palicki a chance.
 
As hard as it was to read, I'm siding with Lynda on this. I'm going to give Palicki a chance, if not for David E. Kelley, for the original Wonder Woman herself.

A Horrible Un-necessary Death = Sadness

On April 5, 2011, Knut would have been 4 years and 4 months, instead he will never reach his Polar Bear life expectancy of 30.  At the Berlin Zoo on Saturday, 600 onlookers watched in agony, as poor Knut fell into the water and DIED!

No one seems to have an explanation as to why he passed as such an early age, “He was by himself in his compound,” says bear keeper Heiner Kls. “He was in the water, and then he was dead.” 

This is sad news indeed.

I was out gardening all day Saturday and Sunday, that I didn't have the chance to catch up on my blogging, and missed the opportunity to talk about this horrible news!  I knew of Knut, because of the outrageous news, which broke back in 2006; Without reason, his mother had rejected him and his twin (who died 4 days later).  He became an instant world sensation, with posters, t-shirts, mugs, and games bearing his likeness. Even Leonardo DiCaprio posed with him, in Vanity Fair's 2nd annual "Green Issue."


People who never took a look at the Polar bear as an endangered species, are now having second thoughts, because of Knut.  He was truly loved, but poor little guy, he will surely be missed.

Born This Way Parody by Key Of Awesome

Countless number of parodies are made everyday, from Britney Spears to Beyonce Knowles, from Christina Aguilera to Katy Perry, but nothing takes the cake like Key of Awesome's parody of Lady Gaga's, "Born This Way."

Don’t be a rainbow, be a flag. Don’t drink the tea, just lick the bag…


Don't get me wrong, I love Lady Gaga to death, but this is some funny shit. Ok so maybe Lady Gaga did use, TLC's "Waterfalls" and "Express Yourself"as inspriration, but who cares. Born this way is a very good song that has a very important message. This parody almost had nothing to do with the actual song.

OMG Hilarious! - Foul Language in the Workplace

The next time, you choose to use foul language in the workplace, think of something better to say.  At least this is what a Human Resources Rep. suggested for their employees' foul-mouthed tongues.

I can't figure out which one is my favorite, because they're all so freaking hilarious!  So instead of saying, "This sh** won't work," maybe you should try saying, "I'm not sure this can be implemented."  LMAO.

Kid Who Body-slammed His Bully Speaks Out

After years of tormenting and being picked on, 15-year old Casey Heynes snapped, and body-slammed his bully onto concrete.  The video, which I blogged about last week, became an internet sensation.

In an interview last night, Casey stated he had been taunted for years, because of his weight, and been duct-taped to a pole at one time.   He said that while he was glad for the support, he had actually contemplated suicide last year.

In the past, he usually let bygones, be bygones, and never retaliated for what these boys did to him.  But something happened to him that fateful day when he grabbed his bully and slammed him to the ground.  Casey just snapped.
"He just came up out of nowhere and grabbed me by the shirt and then he punched me in the face. Then he went for a second hit, and I blocked it," Casey recounted.
"The third hit, I don't know if he connected, and then the fourth and fifth hit me, and then I actually snapped and grabbed him," he said.
Catch the interview here, and decide, should Casey be punished for what he did?

Movies to Watch: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2

So how excited are you for the second part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows?  I, for one, am very excited.  I thought the first part was rather slow, but I understood what they were trying to accomplish.  On the other hand, the second part is full of drama and excitement, it will surely take everyone for an emotional roller-coaster.  My question is... what are all the "die-hard" Harry Potter fans going to do when the final moments of their saga comes to an end?

Below you'll find a trailer/featurette featuring the cast of Harry Potter and from the looks of it, this movie is going to be downright amazing.  Ryan and I will definitely be watching this on 3D.

Take A Trip to Disneyland Paris

Regardless of what Wikipedia and Disney have to say on how it was made, the video is superb.  The Disneyland Paris promo looks like a  clay-mation or "Rudolph" type movie, and the music that accompanies it has that old 1920's feel to it.

Pack your bags and get ready to enjoy a whirlwind trip via our new tilt-shift video, "A Magical Day at Disneyland Paris," and see just about everything The Walt Disney Studios and Disneyland Park has to offer. Read more at the Disney Parks Blog: Here


According to Wikipedia, "Tilt-shift photography" refers to the use of camera movements on small- and medium-format cameras, and sometimes specifically refers to the use of tilt for selective focus, often for simulating a miniature scene.  In simpler terms, Disney's blog states, "Tilt-shift videos like these use different photo angles, focus settings and color saturation adjustments to make the subject of a photo appear miniature. It took more than seven months and 4,000 photographs to produce this 2:38-minute clip."

I found the video fascinating, to say the least. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
