Get Into the Christmas Season...Christmas Flash Mob

Hallelujah were the sounds of this flash mob at a neighborhood mall. Some lunchers and shoppers and passers by received a glorious concert of the day...unexpected and beautiful. Heavenly. On pitch. Loved it myself. Being a former choir member myself, I recall this challenging Handel masterpiece. I even slipped at the end when the choir keeps singing "hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah..." etc. and I mishapped by singing an extra hallelujah. Luckily it wasn't loud enough for the conductor to back hand me.

Anyway, please click on this YOUTUBE link and be delighted for a few minutes and get yourself into the Christmas spirit.

Black Friday and TARGET! Woohoo!

OMG! I get the email for Black Friday ads and BOO-YAH!! The Target ad was released. I haven't looked at it in full yet. But let me tell you, after already deciding I will not do Black Friday this year, standing in lines at 4:00am with Starbucks in hand, scarf around my neck and gloves on with all the consumer crazies...the release of the Target Black Friday sales has me rethinking. I'm not a shopper like many people I know, BUT I get the shopping itch like every other American.

So, should I stay or should I go? Let me spend about 2 hours browsing through that ad, making my list, getting it right. And then let me close that window on my laptop after a wasted 2 hours after deciding...holidays are not about the material things. And then let me go back to my email again the next day and rethink again, and again, and again.

Yes, I am infected with the all-american consumerism, materialistic bug. I love to shop. I love a good deal. Stay tuned to see if I can control myself. We're not even half way through November and I'm craving those early morning deals! Ugh! Maybe I'll see you out there! I promise I won't cut in front of you just to get the freebie...whatever it is this year!

Netflix Addiction

For less than $12 a month, you can get high on all the television series watching you want! Unlimited almost! It's called Series Binging. Just a little over a month ago, my spouse and I decided to get a Netflix subscription and this has opened up a whole world of mesmerizing TV watching at my fingertips. No longer do I have to wait a whole week to find out what happens next on Nip Tuck or Weeds. As a newbie to Dexter, I was able to watch 4 whole seasons in less than one month. Now I am completely caught up in the new season with access to each new episode online. It's a crazy world. But, it has given my life a whole new meaning when it comes to couch potato syndrome. AND...I must say that I love it!

Keith Olbermann Supports Democrats

I guess I can understand why, as a high profile journalist, you are not supposed to donate large amounts of money to any political organization because of conflict of interest of being part of mass media and reporting. But who gives a shit, really. I actually think that movie stars have more pull when it comes to making monetary donations to big wigs in politics. Too bad that he was suspended. I love the guy. But I guess that's what rules are for, eh? Whatever.

Let's Do The Timewarp Glee Kids

The Rocky Horror Picture Show makes its way to William McKinley High School in a small Ohio town on the ever popular GLEE. I'm a big fan and was pleased with tonight's show. I long to attend a live showing and audience participation revealing of this 1975 wonder creation. For GLEE to feature it in their show tonight brings millions of fans to be reminded of such a remarkable film. Fun, disturbing, overstepping boundaries, sexy, provocative, scary, lots of things. Did you watch it?

Well, for all of you new fans to the Rocky Horror Picture Show, a fan club exists and you can be a part of it! Right now especially is the time to look for it playing at a location near you, with Halloween just around the corner. Boo! Let's do the timewarp again!!!

Brett Favre Sexting Scandal

Okay, first of all, I just want to say that "sexting" is the newest and coolest word in the American dictionary!!!

Now, on with the buzz. Brett Favre in the middle of a scandal? Are we even surprised? Does anything of this nature surprise us in the professional sports world? C'mon people. I say tell us more!

The details?

Well first and foremost at the top of his sexting menu is Jenn Sterger. I don't care much about the details of what was said, what was sent, who said what, what the "sexting" details are. Although it would be interesting to share all of that, I honestly don't care.

Next, a masseuse from the Jets shares her story. My guess ALSO is that is not this masseuse's first "hit on" incident. I mean, why do people get into any avenue of the professional sports industry to begin with? Aren't they asking for all this? The money is good and they know what's going to come along with all of this. I like sports, but I hate what the industry has become.

So questions emerge like...

Did Favre send Jenn Sterger nude photos?
Is this whole hot news buzz going to aide in ending Favre's career?
Are we surprised, once again, about the infidelities and "sexy" scandals that have emerged once again with yet another very loved sports professional?
How does this affect his 14 years of marriage to Deanna Favre?
How will this affect his big game tonight? Monday Night Football?? Everyone's gonna be watching.
Does it really matter in the larger scheme of things?
Is it helping the fight against global warming?
Are our children benefitting from all of this and what is the status of our country's educational system?

I really could care less. It actually makes me chuckle a little bit! LOL!! Hahahhahaha!!

Too bad, Brett. Good luck to you!

Suicide at Rutgers University, Gay Student's Privacy Invaded

I am so damn tired of hearing stories like this. What the hell people? What goes around comes around is all I can say. You will get yours. This student at a school of excellence, Rutgers University, was driven to suicide because some jerk roommate webcammed him with another student. Give me a f- - - - - - break! This makes me sick. And how did that privacy-violating nerd make it to such a prestigious school. There should be some sort of screening for respect and integrity in people before they are admitted to college.
What is it folks? Is it you damn right-wing conservatives that have nothing better to do than to bash another human being because of their personal choices? Can I do something to you for being so conservative and traditional, driving you to insanity and making you jump off a bridge? I feel so sorry for people like you.

God Bless this young man who had nowhere to go, no one to trust or talk to with this issue. Shame on the RA who wasn't able to help him much when approached by him about the "problem". Have a heart all of you homophobic morons. Learn to live...meaning, learn to love and accept ALL!

This shit makes me sick.

Katy Perry on Sesame Street

Why pull the plug on a popular icon? I mean be serious, it's not like young children do not ALREADY see cleavage on any average show these days. You know all the kids are singing her songs...I kissed a girl and I liked it. You know little kids sing that song!! So, whatever! Sesame Street should just forget the hype from all of these "say they are" conservatives and let her on the show. If anything, it COULD be an opportunity for parents to TALK to their children instead of let the tube babysit them!! Be real people. Let Katy Perry on Sesame Street. She's so cute!

Disastrous Oil Spill in the Gulf

What a catastrophe Obama's Administration has had to deal with. At one point in my young life, I considered going into politics but it's so easy to turn the other way and stay out of that limelight when politicians and government officials tend to be SO scrutinized for things that seem to be out of their control. It's one of these easier said than done things when dealing with such an enormous issue. So, in the mean time, an important person resigns from her role. I'd probably do the same thing. I wouldn't need that stress in my life. I'd rather be the worker bee, really trying to get things done because having to answer so many of media's and the public's questions, in such a negative manner mind you, must be HELL!

Tim Urban Pulls Thru

I have to admit that I am a Tim Urban fan. I like him. I really do. The judges of American Idol obviously don't. Week after week, I feel as if they do nothing but tell him things to drive him away...no constructive criticism. I think he has something and it's just taking a little while for it to pan out for him. I think he completely has the "Zac Efron" thing going for him. That's what America loves. A simple, humble character. I hope he makes it for at least a couple of more weeks. I honestly think some of these young bucks can go home. They have their lives ahead of them and will plenty of opportunities. So, Tim Urban...Hang in there! You have my votes! I'm rooting for you!!

Taming The Tiger

I watched Tiger and listened to his apology. I do say there is hope for this man. Everyone has their flaws and quite honestly, all of you professional sports players out there are just happy that it was him who got caught and not you. I mean, please jocks! Get real! You are happy that Tiger is the one at the podium, apologizing for his behavior and all that, and not you! I don't know the statistics, but it's gotta be like 90% of professional male sports athletes has infidelity issues. Some people just know how to hide it better, make better deals with their entourages to not leak info, or they choose women who are very likely to never really care, and are willing to be more discreet. Maybe these 'escorts' get a better pay out. Sex addiction is not the only issue here...it runs much deeper. It's a male dominated world.

I do give kudos to Tiger Woods for his public apology. I think it's a good thing and I hope that the public and paparazzi respect his wishes and leave him and his family alone. Even in his darkest hour of humiliation, he was still a gentleman well-poised and full of eloquence. Good luck to you, Tiger!

Digital Nation: News on Addiction to Tronics

I loved this show on PBS Special called Digital Nation. I am so glad this research has come out because my own children are already showing signs of internet addiction. They want to use the computer. They want to play video games. They don't ask if they can go outside to play. They don't ask about playing a board game first. It is really crazy and I have always felt this way. However, I am also guilty of allowing my children to be on the internet or playing video games for the amounts of time that I am not proud to share. Try to watch this documentary if you can. It is eye-opening and real. Then after your done, go check your Facebook goings on!

Tiger is Still Not Out of the Woods

The latest scoop on Tiger Woods simply says...well, he is in SEX REHAB! among other things. So proud of Elin who was clever enough FINALLY to look at his cell phone for texts. I mean, when did she start having suspicions? Oprah has had many a talk show that show the sure tell signs that your spouse is cheating on you, so why didn't you look at his cell phone sooner?

Anyway, just read the article. It'll make you laugh. I actually feel sorry for the couple because every marriage deserves a chance and I think TW seems like a kind enough man to learn to trust again. I'm no psychologist or therapist, but I think it can work. Maybe only if the rehab works...geez! I hope the staff is unattractive, flat-chested and missing teeth. However, that may not stop a sex addict.
