This video has an amazing message, one we should all heed.  We’ve turned into a world where love is feared, feelings are feared, life itself is feared.  I fully believe in what these guys are doing.  The complications, the war, the disease, the hatred has been created by man.  Man is beautiful, but man is dangerous.  Let’s reverse the hate.

My dad gets to meet these guys…  so jealous!

SO BUSY!!

I decided to develop an eBook for anyone suffering from persistent acne.  Over the years I have had my struggles due to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome which creates a hormone imbalance causing acne.  Did you know that 1 in 15 women suffer from PCOS, most unknowingly?

The beauty about SKIN is it is tried and true techniques I have discovered over the years.  I understand the problems associated with persistent acne, so my goal is to affordably help anyone else traveling this same difficult path.

Even if you are one of the luck ones who doesn’t suffer from acne, I’m sure you know someone who does, so pass it on!
Thanks!

Friend or foe?  Read my thoughts on this subject in Opinions.

My mom sent me this in a forward and usually I’m not a fan of forwards, but this is pretty interesting stuff.  I know, I’m a dork.

GEOGRAPHICAL FACTS

Alaska

More than half of the coastline of the entire United States is in Alaska.

Amazon

The Amazon Rainforest produces more than 20% the world’s oxygen supply.

The Amazon River pushes so much water into the Atlantic Ocean that, more than one hundred miles at sea off the mouth of the river, one can dip fresh water out of the ocean.  The volume of water in the Amazon river is greater than the next eight largest rivers in the world combined and three times the flow of all rivers in the United States.

Antarctica

Antarctica is the only land on our planet that is not owned by any country.

Ninety percent of the world’s ice covers Antarctica.  This ice also represents seventy  percent of all the fresh water in the world. As strange as it sounds, however, Antarctica is essentially a desert.  The average yearly total precipitation is about two inches Although covered with ice (all but 0.4% of it, ice.), Antarctica is the driest place on the planet, with an absolute humidity lower than the Gobi desert.

Brazil

Brazil got its name from the nut, not the other way around.

Canada

Canada has more lakes than the rest of the world combined. Canada is an Indian word meaning ‘ Big Village.’

Chicago

Next to Warsaw, Chicago has the largest Polish population in the world.

Detroit

Woodward Avenue in Detroit, Michigan, carries the designation M-1, so named because it was the first paved road anywhere.

Damascus, Syria

Damascus, Syria, was flourishing a couple of thousand years before Rome was founded in 753 BC, making it the oldest continuously inhabited city in existence.

Istanbul, Turkey

Istanbul, Turkey, is the only city in the world located on two continents.

Los Angeles

Los Angeles’s full name is El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de Los Angeles de Porciuncula  and can be abbreviated to 3.63% of its size:  L.A.

New York City

The term ‘The Big Apple’ was coined by touring jazz musicians of the 1930’s who used the slang expression ‘apple’ for any town or city. Therefore, to play New York City is to play the big time – The Big Apple.

There are more Irish in New York City than in Dublin , Ireland; more Italians in New York City than in Rome, Italy; and more Jews in New York City than in Tel Aviv, Israel.

Ohio

There are no natural lakes in the state of Ohio, all are manmade.

Pitcairn Island

The smallest island with country status is Pitcairn in Polynesia, at just 1.75 sq. miles/4,53 sq. km.

Rome

The first city to reach a population of 1 million people was Rome, Italy in 133 B.C.  There is a city called Rome on every continent.

Siberia

Siberia contains more than 25% of the world’s forests.

S.M.O.M .

The actual smallest sovereign entity in the world is the Sovereign Military Order of Malta (S.M.O.M). It is located in the city of Rome, Italy, has an area of two tennis courts, and as of 2001 has a population of 80, 20 less people than the Vatican.  It is a sovereign entity under international law, just as the Vatican is.

Sahara Desert

In the Sahara Desert, there is a town named Tidikelt, Algeria, which did not receive a drop of rain for ten years.  Technically though, the driest place on Earth is in the valleys of the Antarctic near Ross Island. There has been no rainfall there for two million years.

Spain

Spain literally means ‘the land of rabbits.’

St. Paul , Minnesota

St. Paul, Minnesota, was originally called Pig’s Eye after a man named Pierre ‘Pig’s Eye’ Parrant who set up the first business there.

Roads

Chances that a road is unpaved in the U.S.A : 1%, in Canada : 75%

Russia

The deepest hole ever drilled by man is the Kola Superdeep Borehole, in Russia.  It reached a depth of 12,261 meters (about 40,226 feet or 7.62 miles).  It was drilled for scientific research and gave up some unexpected discoveries, one of which was a huge deposit of hydrogen – so massive that the mud coming from the hole was boiling with it.

United States

The Eisenhower interstate system requires that one-mile in every five must be straight.  These straight sections are usable as airstrips in times of war or other emergencies.

Waterfalls

The water of Angel Falls (the World’s highest) in Venezuela drops 3,212 feet (979 meters).  They are 15 times higher than Niagara Falls.

Fascinating!  Hope you enjoy!

My Consignment Blog!

Today’s post is going to take a serious side.  My personal bank account was compromised last week.  Apparently some jackasses out there have figured out a way to simply and effectively use card numbers.  I’m assuming they generate the numbers somehow with a program until numbers work, then continue to charge things until the funds run out.  Joke was on them when they hacked mine, I only had $25 in there, but you better believe they used the whole thing!  First with a $20 charge to Yahoo.com and then one to a theater in Seattle, WA…across the effing country.

This morning my mom called me, they’ve hit her now.  So far there are 20 different charges between $20-80 to websites with curious names.  She’s freaking out, and rightfully so.  Good news is right when you dispute these charges (and the banks know it’s not you, Wachovia even called me and said there seemed to be suspicious activity on my account), they reimburse you and then take your card off your account.  Bad news is you have to wait about 5 business days for a new card.  Worse news is this is happening to a lot of people and the new card might not be safe for long.

This applies to ANY card you have.  Credit, debit, anything with 16 digits, a date, and a security (haha, right?) number on the back.  It’s the card number, not the account.  THIS CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE AND IT’S HAPPENING A LOT OF PEOPLE.  The banks are obviously on to it, BUT, and there’s that lovely but, they haven’t figured out a way to stop it.

If you Google anything having to do with this, nothing comes up.  Hmmm, thanks media for informing us on something pertinent.  God forbid they actually do their job for once.  I realize the banks are probably trying to keep this hush hush so that all out pandemonium doesn’t break out (you know the average person and their ability to connect any incident to the end of days and/or Obama’s fault), but people do have the right to be informed that their bank account might be hacked.

Be warned people, be warned.

And to the Mother F#*kers doing this.  Your spot is reserved in hell, also known as jail, where you’ll get bu-fued, hopefully daily.  If you’re female, well I don’t really know how jail rape goes down for you, but it’s coming, too!

P.S.  I guess old people using their checks aren’t as dumb as we thought…  Oh modern technology; the convenience of plastic.  Well everything has it’s price, right?  Apparently this price is your security being compromised, AWESOME!!

This is quote of the moment.  I say “moment” because I’m quite the lazy one and will never get to this daily or even weekly, always.  So accept it for what it is, but enjoy it enough to check back periodically…at your convenience (I hate the word convenience, it’s so hard for me to remeber how to spell it) because it’s going to be entertaining…sometimes.

“One time…I pooped in a bag.”  -  Random Dude

I found this whilst stumbling, true story. It’s pretty much the best Craigslist listing ever created. Just read, you’ll see. Almost makes you want to meet this dude…but not for sex, as a comedian in a comedy club or something (Are there even comedy clubs anymore? Haven’t they been replaced with Comedy Central?). Anyway, read it and share your thoughts. I love to steal other people’s thoughts…I mean read.
_______________________________________________________________________

So I was in the shower this morning, having a vodka martini while washing my hair, and I thought “wouldn’t it be great if I had a girl to do this for me?”

I mean wash my hair, not drink the martini… I can do that myself…

So after heading outside and kicking some homeless men so I could steal their change cups for cash, I popped into a Starbucks and ordered a non-fat soy chai latte, then had the barista stir it with her tongue. You didn’t know Starbucks did that? Well you’ve probably never asked. Try it next time.

I sat down and fired up my laptop, first browsing a couple porn sites to see if my sister was getting any work… then opened up Craigslist and started to write.

So by this point of my profile, you probably want to shoot me in the kneecap with a small girly handgun… Let me give you some more ammunition…

* While surfing in Africa last winter, I lied to my friend about which beaches had shark sightings then went to the worst one. I smeared his board with fish guts. Once he was attacked, I pulled him from the water… I’m a goddamn hero!

* I’ve never stolen a car without returning it with a full tank of gas, two tickets to a hockey game, and a gently used handgun in the trunk. Juuuuuust kidding…. who can afford hockey tickets these days? Come to think of it, who can afford gas?

* I know the difference between a fine kilo of pure Columbian yay, and a shopping bag full of icing sugar, so don’t try and double cross me like my first four wives.

* Everyone hates mimes… but not me. I respect someone who knows when to shut the fuck up. If we all did that, there’d be less war. Then again, if there was less war, Hollywood would start making more movies about teens trying to lose their virginity before college. I lost mine in grade 8 to my parent’s chubby Greek cleaning lady… how come no one makes a movie about that?

* My agent thinks I’m an asshole. Partially because I never pay her, partially because I keep getting her name wrong. I’m bad with names. If we sleep together, and I wake up and call you Betty, Sally, or Billy-Jo, don’t be offended. I have the same problem with phone numbers, so if you wonder why I don’t call… it’s cause some nice family in the ‘burbs is getting non-stop booty calls at 2am in your place.

* Don’t worry about that though, as I never sleep with the same girl twice. You wouldn’t ask DaVinci to paint another copy of the Mona Lisa, would you?

* I get mistaken for Tom Cruise almost everywhere I go. Not Tom Cruise the actor, Tom Cruise the assistant pottery teacher at Langley Highschool (go RiverRats!)

Now, since guys online dating all seem to like to tell YOU what YOU should be like (don’t you love that?), I’ll do the same.

* Don’t be blonde. I’m bored of blondes in this town (like any of you are really blonde anyway… pfft… Grow some self-confidence and go back to your natural colour.) Sure blondes have more fun… but brunettes try harder, and I respect a woman who puts some effort in, and blondes just have it too easy.

* I don’t care where you live. I have a car. I like driving. Have some ice cream and pie waiting for me and I’ll drive to Brossard (well… it’d have to be homemade pie if you live in Brossard.)

* I’d prefer if you ARE married or have a boyfriend…. Look… I’m not going to sit around picking out new cutlery from a catalogue with you, or help you walk your tiny little dog. You should have a steady boyfriend or husband for that. I’m like a roller coaster, fun to ride by yourself (or preferably with your best friend!)… but terrible for trying to have a dinner party on!

Well… that’s it for me.
Smell ya later…

PS. If I’ve piqued your curiosity, you should know that it’s Ok for you to email me. I won’t tell your friends, family, husbands, or boyfriends that you’ve been browsing Craigslist’s personals… and don’t you want to know if I just talk the talk, or walk the walk?

PPS. Please include a photo of yourself, preferably in a dress, but failing that, underwear. And failing that, track pants and a dirty t-shirt always work.

PPPS, Both my parole officer and my therapist have given me the thumbs up to date since “the bank incident”.
