The Swedish Bikini Team to the rescue?


Swedes to use body heat to warm offices

So the Swedish is making plans to harness all that body heat generated by thousands of commuters scrambling to catch their trains at Stockholm's main railway station and use it for heating a nearby office building.

I'm all for it!

I'm cold... someone -- please, send the Swedish Bikini Team to my office!

A guy can dream, huh?

Oh-uh... the Holiday Season is Upon Us!

This is the time of the year families get together. It is not always a good thing. There will be tension and angst.

Take the higher road. People will snipe. People will say classless and rude stuff.

That is just being a human being.

The most important person is you. Ignore all that claptrap. Focus on the true meaning of Xmas. The joy of being together with the friends and family that mean so much to you...

Enjoy yourself, pretend there is always a camera focused on you. When you move, the camera is panning the shot to capture you in motion.

Have a great holiday and happy New Year!!!

Britney Spears Fail a Drug Test?


What's new...

They say Britney Spears failed a drug test recently. And she is claiming that it was a false positive due to a new inhaler she used...

Why is this news? And why are we so obsessed with Britney self-destruction?

I mean really? She is loaded with money. She can do any legitimate thing in the world. She can really get into a great hobby that is interesting and constructive...

And she does all those things that gets her bad press... drunk driving, public embarrassing incidences, and whatever else she is doing now...

She used to be pretty and America's darling and now look who she is, a really sad, sad woman who is probably crying for help and not getting it.

The point I'm trying to make is be very careful who you idolize. Britney Spears isn't it.

Jerry Seinfeld is Busy as a Bee with New Family

We all have heard of Jerry Seinfeld from the hit TV show. Jerry is now 53 years young and admits that he didn't become a full grown adult until he was in his late 30s.

Jerry talks a little about growing up. He said he wasn't funny but his dad was the comedian in the family. Jerry had to "force" himself to get up on stage and be funny. It was terrifying for him. I can imagine because most people are scared to death of public speaking. I heard people are MORE scared of public speaking than death.

Go figure.

Back to Jerry Seinfeld. He said his success was due to his relentless work ethics. The only demon he had was the lazy demon.

Wow, that is refreshing for someone to say that because our world is obsessed with quick and easy. And along comes Jerry Seinfeld throwing that myth out the window.

Oh yeah, he is really happy now. Syndication revenues from the 9 year run of his sitcom has made Jerry very wealthy. He has been married for 8 years and has 3 children.

I'm happy everything is working out well for Jerry...

What You Must Do Before You Love Others

Recently, I read a very interesting article from Robert Ringer (link below)

Prerequisite to Loving Your Neighbor, Part I

He wrote that you MUST first respect yourself! Robert said that a lot of people that he meets do not respect themselves and consequently, do not respect others.

He said, "You can see it in his facial expressions and body language; you can hear it in his words and in the tone of his voice. "

To tell you the truth, I never thought about it that way. I always assumed that when someone is rude or cross with me, that it has nothing to do with me. They are just having a bad day. But what if they are having a bad life? What if YOU are having a bad life?

Yes, what happens if you are the person that Robert Ringer is describing. I can imagine that many people, including myself, never thought about how others view us. Are we unconsciously telling people that we dislike ourselves or have little or no self respect? Are we treating others with contempt?

And it is very hard to change your personality. I know that. But if the underlying foundation is shaky, you MUST take steps to strengthen it or the whole house will fall down.

Don't look now but Don Imus is back...

Well, it looks like Don Imus is back in the news again. Not only he settled with his former employers for $20 Million dollars...

He is getting sued by one of the Rutger basketball player that he insulted that started this whole circus.

And don't get me wrong... I think Don Imus is a gas bag that said things he shouldn't have said. And yes, it was extremely obnoxious but not illegal. We do have free speech which is one of the most cherished rights we have in the greatest country in the world.

But still...

Did I mention that Don Imus is a giant bag of gas?

I am sure this is what happens when you "get away" from saying crap for years and your employers don't take measures to clean up your act. Why? They are scared because believe it or not -- a LOT of people really like to hear him blabber...

Must be for entertainment purposes because I don't listen to him...

So I am sure he is getting back on the radio again -- hopefully a wiser man.

And about the lawsuit -- don't know if it will ever make it to court but anything that will pester Imus is fine with me.

So the lesson here as always -- there are consequences for everything you do and say. Less said is usually better...

Why Are Muslim Males So Angry?

I was reading the magazine, Psychology today (August 2007). And one of the articles was -- 10 outrageous truths about men and women [brace yourself]. And a subarticle was titled: Suicide Bombing Has NOTHING To Do With Islam…

Granted, this is a very very provocative argument and I kept reading...

This article makes the point that most suicide bombers ARE Muslim. And that suicide bombing has nothing to do with Islam but it has everything to do with the absence of sex.

To tell you the truth, I was intrigued how they arrived at that conclusion and so will you...

The article says that the Islamic society tends to be polygyny. Which is a way of saying that men of higher status are allowed to have more than one wife. And since most societies are 50% men and 50% women – it means that a lot of men in Islamic societies have little or zero chances of getting a wife and starting a family.

So polygyny increases the competitive pressure on the men of low status because wealthier men tend to have more than one wife. The men of low status may resort to violence acts such as murders, assaults, and rapes to gain access to mates.

Then these men get the promise of 72 virgins waiting in heaven for those anyone who is a martyr. The definition of a martyr is anyone who dies in the defense of their beliefs. The key word here is beliefs. It can be defined by anyone in the position of authority, which really isn’t difficult, because the men who answer the call of suicide bombing are just about always single and always low status males who have a really bleak future of no women and NO SEX.

And the promise of a harem of 72 virgins is a very, very enticing way to get illiterate and poor young males to volunteer to give up their lives.

In short, if the premises and facts put out by Psychology Today is true, the current trend of blowing up yourself to further the agendas of authority figures in the Mosques and Muslim countries is one of the most diabolical and horrific scam perpetuated on society today…

Just wow. Makes a lot of sense to me.

Paul Potts And Everything...

How many times have we heard this, "I can't do it?"

I am tired of failing...

I am tired of losing...

Well, meet Mr. Paul Potts the winner of the show, "Britain's Got Talent."

If you haven't heard of this man, you are really in a cave. Get over to youtube.com and check out his video. I promise you even if you don't like opera, he will blow you away and make the hairs stand on your neck.

I really am not joking...

And you see, Paul Potts was not a shoo-in. He is 36 years old. Just got married. Had bad luck and medical problems. And his teeth!

Things were not looking good for him and he decided to TRY ONE MORE TIME!

And we are all better for it because we would have never heard him sing. To hear his sing really, really makes you appreciate life and all it has for you to enjoy.

Really.

Winning Through Intimidation

I just finished reading an awesome book by Robert J. Ringer, "Winning Through Intimidation."

Although Robert wrote this book in 1973 as a real estate agent... his theories in the book can be applied to anything you are or do in your life.

One of his memorable theories is the "Boy-Girl Theory."

It states that every person wants what he can't have and does not want what he can have.

And I think that is so true...

And we don't appreciate what we do have until it is gone...

Oprah and Dave - Sitting in a Tree - KISSING

Well, well, well

US talk show host Oprah Winfrey has agreed to appear on rival David Letterman's show, ending a long-running feud between the stars.

I believe that is 16 years long...

Forgive me if I seem jaded... but this smacks of commercialism.

Sure Oprah is sensitive about her weight and sure, Dave likes to make fun of celebrities...

A match in heaven as they would say...

I remember a loooonnnggg time ago when one of the most popular saying was in Hollywood, "You are nobody until you have been insulted by Don Rickles."

And the big wheel keeps on turning...

Jessica Alba is NOT fat! The lesson we can take away...

Guess What? Jessica Alba is Human Too!

Victoria's Secret picked Jessica Alba, who starred in "Sin City," as the sexiest actress.

But behind the scene... Jessica Alba is like many other people. She has self doubts and neurosis about her body.

In a interview with Rolling Stones she obsessed about her weight. And we all have seen her pictures and movies. This woman is gorgeous so why would she feel this way?

Then if we did a little more research, we may find out things like she suffered from collapsed lungs, burst appendix, pneumonia, asthma, and obsessive-compulsive disorder when she was younger.

So what do we know? She has tons of her own problems too! Kind of puts things in perspective huh? So don't think you are the only person in the world with problems...

So be sure to check out Cucan Pemo's introspective eBook how to find love or Bring Back a Lost Love. After all, each one of us is unique and if you need some help on the journey of self discovery, Cucan's book will be sure to show you the way...

Pamela Anderson & Tommy Lee Jones

Third time lucky for Pam and Tommy?

The Blonde and Blonder actress basked her famous assets in the Hawaii sunshine, as her badboy ex-husband showed off his tattoos.

Why do I get the feeling that this couple is on a slippery slope? First of all, I am all for finding lost loves and rekindling relationships -- but this is the THIRD time! Last two times ended badly. Tommy went to jail for hitting Pamela. Tommy gave Pamela Hepatitis C sharing a needle.

This reminds me of a quote:

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
-Benjamin Franklin

This is going to bother me all day. I need a drink...

Ashlee Simpson Gives John & Jessica a Thumbs Up

I'm so happy.

It is moments like this that reminds me of why I hate rich and beautiful people.

Just kidding. But really...

Why is the public so infatuated with famous & gorgeous women and handsome men?

Would it be like an escape from our own boring and mundane reality?

What do you think? Is this the reason why we spend so much time watching TV or renting some crappy movie?

Be sure to sound off and let me know what you think

Lies, more lies and statistics

Article: Featured Story- Why We Lie - AOL Research & Learn


The research say it is all about self-esteem. When we feel our self esteem threatened, we tend to lie more.

But the most interesting thing about this study is this:

"Men lie no more than women, but they tend to lie to make themselves look better, while women are more likely to lie to make the other person feel better."

But the article concludes that that honesty yields more genuine relationships and trust.

I agree. Learn to be funny and easy going.

It is way easier and less stressful that trying to maintain your self esteem because no matter what, it really doesn't matter in the long run...

What do you think?

Who is the Father?

The battle to be father to Anna Nicole's daughter : Mail & Guardian Online

Even in death, controversy seems to follow Anna Nicole Smith...

You see, Anna Nicole Smith's last will revealed that she left everything to her son Daniel. However, Daniel passed away several months ago. It is assumed that Anna Nicole Smith's baby daughter, Dannielynn will get her mother's estate.

But who is her father?

That is the 20 million dollar question. And there are men popping out of the wood work to claim that lofty status. Even Zsa Zsa Gabor's hubby is saying he is the father.

Good grief!!!

Either way, it seems that Anna Nicole Smith will continue to fascinate and shock us even as she goes to the Playboy Mansion in the sky...

Proof that Smart People Do Make Stupid Mistakes


Lisa Nowak and the man in the middle


Astronaut charged with attempted murder is released on bond - Orlando Sentinel : Space & Science Astronaut charged with attempted murder is released on bond - Orlando Sentinel : Space & Science

NASA astronaut accused of attacking a rival for another astronaut's affection at Orlando International Airport was released on $25,500 bond after authorities upped the ante in her case, charging her with attempted first-degree murder.

Lisa Nowak has 3 kids, is 43 years old and should know better. Apparently being smart and confident doesn't make you invulnerable to stupid acts.

Lisa armed and disguised herself and drove 900 miles from Texas to Florida to confront her rival, Colleen Shipman. After spraying her with pepper spray, Lisa was caught.

And now she is in BIG trouble because her charges can lead to lifetime imprisonment.

The thing of this whole tawdry affair is that there really was no romantic string to connect Lisa with Navy Commander William Oefelein.

The only thing I can say to Lisa is what were you thinking? You trained to be an astronaut and you are definitely very smart.

Colleen Shipman the alleged victim

This whole situation is messed up. Lisa Nowak doesn't belong in jail but she has to face up to her responsibilities. She made the stupid decision to hurt people and for what?

The love of a man that isn't romantically involved with her...

I just bet Lisa isn't the only person who done something like this. So the lesson here is DO NOT do stupid things in the name of love. It doesn't work and can get you sent to jail!!!

Pictures of Penis -- Hanging Offense?

Pantagraph.com | WTF | Teacher reassigned after having students draw penises

I don't know about this...

Apparently some biology teacher had his 7th grade class draw a picture of a penis.

On one hand -- it's a biology class and covering the subject of human anatomy should be expected.

On the other hand -- these kids are around 12-13 years old. I am not sure this is an appropriate subject for kids at that age.

Then again, when I went to school years ago, it seemed obvious that most kids were aware of the differences between a man and a woman. I mean really aware!

I don't know what is it like these days but still...

Can't you just cut up a frog and leave it like that?

What do you think? Are the parents just a bunch of prudes or is the teacher a closet pervert?

Let's Go Camping!!!

Dating and Relationships - Atlanta Style:

"What type of lady organizes a three-day camping trip in the wilderness with her baby? "

I really like this blog. Desiree Day who is from Atlanta, GA has been posting "Denise Daniel's Guide to Pleasing Your Man (And Yourself." She has posted 15 parts so far and counting...

And # 8 is organizing a 3 day camping trip in the wilderness with her guy. I think that is a great idea because I think I am speaking for many guys here...

Many guys love the great outdoors and like to spend it with someone they feel closest too. However, for me, getting a cabin is the best way to go.

Let's face it, having bugs, snakes and other assorted critters sharing your sleeping bag is NOT the most romantic moment of your life!!!

Anyone have other great ideas to share intimacy?

Amber Frey Talks About Relationship Advice

ABC30.com: Amber Frey Talks Openly and Offers Relationship Advice

Unless you have been stuck in a cave somewhere the past few years...

Scott Peterson was convicted of killing his wife Lacy and their unborn son. He is now sitting in Death Row which is ironically across the bay from where the bodies were found.

Amber Frey was interviewed and she has relationship advice for the women. "Trust women intuition a little bit more and if they have questions, it's probably for a good reason."

And of course everyone involved in the case is going to try to make some money. The jurors who convicted Scott Peterson and sent to the death row has come out with a new book, 'We, the Jury Deciding the Scott Peterson Case'.

But the jurors are mixed on Amber Frey. For instance, one juror believed that Amber knew she was in a relationship with a married man (Scott Peterson) but choose to ignore it anyway. That juror thought it made her a questionable witness.

However, other jurors have said she was a credible witness. "She was the Star of the prosecution."

Anyhow, Amber Frey is getting on with her life. She married a police officer (Who is a good man) and is planning to tell her two young children the truth when they are old enough about her relationship with Scott Peterson.

I don't envy that task but I sure applaud Amber's ability to get on with her life and it seems she is very happy with her relationship with her family.

For some great relationship advice and tips
