There is an election in NOVEMBER so try to keep focused and REMEMBER what we wanted in the first place. CHANGE!!!

What does a psychiatrist, a guru, and post-modern furniture all have in common?

Laughter. Especially when Jerry Lewis is involved. I remember when the below movie first came out. I was extremely young and like most of America did not like it. Yet there were at least 3 scenes in the movie "Cracking Up" that just should and have to be considered classic.
Below is the opening credits scene and my all time fave scene in the surgery room. If you haven't seen these clips you haven't truly laughed in you life. Check out what I mean and rent (don't  buy) a copy from your local video store.

Yeah The Room SHOOK... From Laughter! ( ROTFLMAO )

So instead of doing the typical and talking about the earthquake this week or the fact that I am looking at the gray skies of a hurricane right now I have decided to share a new found guilty pleasure... Gigi!

As a former actor, I took it to heart when I watched a clip called "Gigi Sings For Gigi". As a man who has seen some wild stuff, I fell out laughing when I saw the episode "For A Good Time". And as human being who has mistaken infatuation with true LOVE, I rolled teary eyed on the ground at "Gigi's Book Club".

Some wrong things are just meant to be laughed at so although it may not be a 5.0 on the Richter Scale Gigi beats Irene by a long shot! You will be shaking/quaking from the laughter that will ensue once you figure out what's really going on.

THE POWER OF INTENTIONS

A fellow blogger hipped me to this wonderful clip of Jim Carrey talking about the power of intentions. As usual, Jim is hilarious and no one not even in the back row is safe. However, there is something deeper to his commentary that should strike a nerve with anyone trying to get inline with what they are really suppose to be doing on this planet.

Jim found his path. I do believe I am on mine. Hence, I sincerely hope you are aware and enjoying yours.

Stay Positive and In Peace,

This Underwear Just Isn't Right At Sweet Sixteen

Unless you are Victoria's Secret then it is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!

BTW - Caution! There are images of male models that will make you laugh and some freaky facts about hand modeling and lotion that maybe the easily influenced should not see.  There are enough products being sold because of vanity all we need is more lotion and gloves. Trust me this is a weird way to make money but if I could you know I WOULD! NO DOUBT!!

You see I am not a total h8er so L8er

THE CONCLUSION TO THE DARK KNIGHT SERIES IS COMING!!

About 2 weeks ago, I saw a trailer that leaked on the net for THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. I was gonna post it seeing that it showed Robin Williams as the Riddler and how Bane was created but everyone said that the footage leaked and therefore hurt the studio. I hate that!!! It had actual scenes from the film and the trailer was fantastic! Especially, seeing that this is the conclusion to this story line for the Dark Knight. However, I don't buy bootleg and I (because I am serious about film) will not promote such videos that hurt the studio, artists, and everyone else involved in the production of the film.

So here is the official trailer that was released. Not as good as the leaked trailer but there is just so much of the film they can show. You judge for yourself.

REDTAILS (HOOORAAYY) By George Lucas (Really?)

George Lucas must have been talking to Steven Spielberg when this story came across his desk. Lord, I pray there isn't a African-American with a Jar-Jar-like speech impediment/problem in the this film or meesa gonna beesa ANGRY. VERISA ANGRY!!! LOL.

On a serious note, history and truth are way stranger than fiction. African-Americans have served in ALL of America's wars!!! I LOVE IT when Hollywood figures that kind of stuff out and actually puts a bankroll behind it.

Peace-a :)

This is why Rugby and American Football are two very different sports.

Do this illegal move in the NFL and you would have both teams kick your @$$! Can you say monetary fines and serious penalties? The look of humiliation on the other guys face was killa but still that wouldn't get pass go with the egos in American sports. Even the still shot for the vid looks crazy wrong.



He definitely has the vert maybe he should play B-Ball??? NAAAAWWWW!!!!!

God Rest Her Soul... Amy Winehouse Dead At 27

Police: Singer Amy Winehouse Dies at Age 27

Posted Sat Jul 23, 2011 9:56am PDT by AP in Stop The Presses!

LONDON (AP) - Amy Winehouse, the beehived soul-jazz diva whose self-destructive habits overshadowed a distinctive musical talent, was found dead Saturday in her London home, police said. She was 27.

Winehouse shot to fame in 2006 with the album "Back to Black," whose blend of jazz, soul, rock and classic pop was a global hit. It won five Grammys and made Winehouse - with her black beehive hairdoand old-fashioned sailor tattoos - one of music's most recognizable stars. But her personal life, with its drug and alcohol abuse, eating disorders and destructive relationships, soon took over her career.

Police confirmed that a 27-year-old female was pronounced dead at the home in Camden Square northern London; the cause of death was not immediately known. London Ambulance Services said Winehouse had died before the two ambulance crews it sent arrived at the scene.

Singer and actress Kelly Osbourne, who helped Winehouse check into a drug addiction treatment facility in 2008, was one of many who grieved for the singer on Twitter.

"I cant even breath right now im crying so hard i just lost 1 of my best friends. i love you forever Amy and will never forget the real you!" she tweeted.

The singer's father, Mitch Winehouse, had arrived in New York this weekend to prepare for his U.S. performing debut Monday night at the Blue Note jazz club, but upon receiving news of his daughter's death was heading back home to London to be with his family, his publicist Don Lucoff said.

An ambulance could be seen parked beneath the trees outside her London home, and the whole street was cordoned off by police tape. Officers kept onlookers away from the scene.

Last month, Winehouse canceled her European comeback tour after she swayed and slurred her way through barely recognizable songs in her first show in the Serbian capital of Belgrade. Booed and jeered off stage, she flew home and her management said she would take time off to recover.

Winehouse was last publicly seen on at a London concert on Wednesday when she joined hergoddaughter Dionne Bromfield on stage. In that impromptu appearance, Winehouse danced with Bromfield and encouraged the audience to buy her album, before leaving the stage.

"I didn't go out looking to be famous," Winehouse told the Associated Press when "Back to Black" was released. "I'm just a musician."

But in the end, the music was overshadowed by fame, and by Winehouse's demons. Tabloids lapped up the erratic stage appearances, drunken fights, stints in hospital and rehab clinics. Performances became shambling, stumbling train wrecks, watched around the world on the Internet.

Born in 1983 to Mitch Winehouse, taxi driver, and his pharmacist wife Janis, Winehouse grew up in the north London suburbs, and was set on a showbiz career from an early age. When she was 10, she and a friend formed a rap group, Sweet 'n' Sour - Winehouse was Sour - that she later described as "the little white Jewish Salt 'n' Pepa."

She attended the Sylvia Young Theatre School, a factory for British music and acting moppets, later went to the Brit School, a performing arts academy in the "Fame" mold, and was originally signed to "Pop Idol" svengali Simon Fuller's 19 Management.

But Winehouse was never a packaged teen star, and always resisted being pigeonholed.

Her jazz-influenced 2003 debut album, "Frank," was critically praised and sold well in Britain. It earned Winehouse an Ivor Novello songwriting award, two Brit nominations and a spot on the shortlist for the Mercury Music Prize.

But Winehouse soon expressed dissatisfaction with the disc, saying she was "only 80 percent behind" the album.

"Frank" was followed by a slump during which Winehouse broke up with her boyfriend, suffered a long period of writer's block and, she later said, smoked a lot of marijuana.

"I had writer's block for so long," she said in 2007. "And as a writer, your self-worth is literally based on the last thing you wrote. .. I used to think, 'What happened to me?'

"At one point it had been two years since the last record and (the record company) actually said to me, 'Do you even want to make another record?' I was like, 'I swear it's coming.' I said to them, 'Once I start writing I will write and write and write. But I just have to start it.'"

The album she eventually produced was a sensation.

Released in Britain in the fall of 2006, "Back to Black" brought Winehouse global fame. Working with producers Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi and soul-funk group the Dap-Kings, Winehouse fused soul, jazz, doo-wop and, above all, a love of the girl-groups of the early 1960s with lyrical tales of romantic obsession and emotional excess.

"Back to Black" was released in the United States in March 2007 and went on to win five Grammy awards, including song and record of the year for "Rehab."

Music critic John Aizlewood attributed her trans-Atlantic success to a fantastic voice and a genuinely original sound.

"A lot of British bands fail in America because they give America something Americans do better - that's why most British hip-hop has failed," he said. "But they won't have come across anything quite like Amy Winehouse."

Winehouse's rise was helped by her distinctive look - black beehive of hair, thickly lined cat eyes, girly tattoos - and her tart tongue.

She was famously blunt in her assessment of her peers, once describing Dido's sound as "background music - the background to death" and saying of pop princess Kylie Minogue, "she's not an artist ... she's a pony."

The songs on "Black to Black" detailed breakups and breakdowns with a similar frankness. Lyrically, as in life, Winehouse wore her heart on her sleeve.

"I listen to a lot of '60s music, but society is different now," Winehouse said in 2007. "I'm a young woman and I'm going to write about what I know."

Even then, Winehouse's performances were sometimes shambolic, and she admitted she is "a terrible drunk." She acknowledged struggling with eating disorders and told a newspaper that she had been diagnosed as manic depressive but refused to take medication. Soon accounts of her erratic behavior, canceled concerts and drink- and drug-fueled nights began to multiply.

Photographs caught her unsteady on her feet or vacant-eyed, and she appeared unhealthily thin, with scabs on her face and marks on her arms.

There were embarrassing videos released to the world on the Internet. One showed an addled Winehouse and Babyshambles singer Pete Doherty playing with newborn mice. Another, for which Winehouse apologized, showed her singing a racist ditty to the tune of a children's song.

Winehouse's managers went to increasingly desperate lengths to keep the wayward star on the straight and narrow. Before the June concert in Belgrade, her hotel was stripped of booze. It did no good, and the concert was painful to watch.

Though she was often reported to be working on new material, fans got tired of waiting for the much-promised followup to "Back to Black."

Occasional bits of recording saw the light of day. Her rendition of The Zutons' "Valerie" was a highlight of producer Mark Ronson's 2007 album "Version," and she recorded the pop classic "It's My Party" for the 2010 Quincy Jones album "Q: Soul Bossa Nostra."

But other recording projects with Ronson, one of the architects of the success of "Back to Black," came to nothing.

She also had run-ins with the law. In April 2008, Winehouse was cautioned by police for assault after she slapped a man during a raucous night out.

The same year she was investigated by police, although not charged, after a tabloid newspaper published a video that appeared to show her smoking crack cocaine.

In 2010, Winehouse pleaded guilty to assaulting a theater manager who asked her to leave a family Christmas show because she'd had too much to drink. She was given a fine and a warning to stay out of trouble by a judge who praised her for trying to clean up her act.

In May 2007 in Miami, she married music industry hanger-on Blake Fielder-Civil, but the honeymoon was brief. That November, Fielder-Civil was arrested for an attack on a pub manager the year before. Fielder-Civil later pleaded guilty to assaulting barman James King and then offering him 200,000 pounds (US$400,000) to keep quiet about it.

Winehouse stood by "my Blake" throughout his trial, often blowing kisses at him from the court's public gallery and wearing a heart-shaped pin labeled "Blake" in her hair at concerts. But British newspapers reported extramarital affairs while Fielder-Civil was behind bars.

They divorced in 2009.

Winehouse's health often appeared fragile. In June 2008 and again in April 2010, she was taken to hospital and treated for injuries after fainting and falling at home.

Her father said she had developed the lung disease emphysema from smoking cigarettes and crack, although her spokeswoman later said Winehouse only had "early signs of what could lead to emphysema."

She left the hospital to perform at Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday concert in Hyde Park in June 2008, and at the Glastonbury festival the next day, where she received a rousing reception but scuffled with a member of the crowd. Then it was back to a London clinic for treatment, continuing the cycle of music, excess and recuperation that marked her career.
