If you have tickets for one of Michael Jackson’s 50 London shows, just be aware that he is NOT excited to be there!!
Poor thing!! He signed up to have a successful career and, for a while there, he managed to do just that! Meanwhile, in spite of all of his “ups and downs”, if you want to call them that, there are still enough people interested in seeing him to warrant 50 shows and he’s complaining about that!! Vince Neil, back in late 2001, was having to play shows in small bars in central Mississippi (I know this, because I was there) and I’m sure people of his status would LOVE to be wanted for 50 shows, especially 50 shows in one place!!
On the other hand, Michael isn’t as young as he used to be and, perhaps, there is some genuine concern for his ability to withstand such a grueling schedule. I don’t know. Whatever it is, the polite thing to have done would have been to have kept his grumbling to himself, for his fans’ sake! I’m sure those tickets weren’t cheap!!
As a southerner, I often use the phrase “crammed like sardines in a can”, but even I have never seen anything like this! How many times have you been stranded in the woods and thought, “wow…I sure wish I had everything I need all mashed up in one tiny place”? Well, now you can!! They crammed 25 survival necessities in this tiny can for only $10!
Each can includes:
–non-aspirin pain reliever
–adhesive bandage
–alcohol pad
–antibiotic ointment
–a book of matches
–compass
–chewing gum
–sugar
–salt
–energy nugget
–duct tape
–fire starter cube
–first aid instructions
–fish hook and line
–note paper
–pencil
–razor blade
–safety pin
–reflective signal surface
–tea bag
–waterproof bag
–whistle
–wire clip
So, as you can see, they’ve put a lot of stuff in a small package! Although I’m not sure where that Tootsie Roll came from…but, hey, I’d eat it! I’d love to know how they did it, myself, and it might even be worth $10 to me to find out!!
Want one? Get it at ThinkGeek! (There’s also survival kit in a water bottle, which might be even more useful)
I don’t know how many of you caught the MTV movie awards Sunday night, but if you didn’t, you missed the hysterical moment between “Borat” actor, Sasha Baron Cohen, and rapper Eminem. Apparently, during a promotional moment for Cohen’s upcoming movie “Bruno”, the actor descended from the ceiling wearing little more than wings and a loin cloth and was lowered, upside down, directly on the head of Eminem.
In response, the seemingly irate actor got up and left the awards. To the naked eye, this seemed like a stunt gone wrong, but according to one of the writers of the MTV show, the incident was rehearsed and Eminem had agreed to being the center of the ruse, although some doubt that he was fully aware of how little “Bruno” would be wearing when he was dropped onto his lap.
Now, I’m going to spare embedding the video, as whether or not to view it will be left to individual discretion, but, trust me when I say that, if you have the right kind of sense of humor, it’s HYSTERICAL!! YouTube even added a birthdate confirmation since you see a lot of tooshie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rfa6774D1oE ~ enjoy.
I like to think I keep up with new gadgets and such, but this was one that even I hadn’t seen for actual purchase before. Imagine sitting around somewhere with nothing to do and wishing you could check out some pictures or, perhaps, some video or music. Now, imagine that you could just do just that…simply by looking at your WATCH!!
This watch has a 1.8″ display as well as built in speakers. There’s also an earphone jack so you’re not disturbing people as you listen to music or whatever on your watch (like they’re not going to be noticing that!). It has an 8GB memory so you shouldn’t be at a loss for entertainment with one of these awesome watches. They retail for only $99.99 over at ThinkGeekwhich I think would be well worth it, if only for the novelty!
Now that American Idol has ended (and, for the record, not the way I wanted), I can focus my attention on other things. Today, the news is surrounding Susan Boyle, who has been the shocker on Britain’s Got Talent. For anyone who has yet to see her on the news, this is a frumpy looking woman with a beautiful voice. She got many eye rolls from the audience as well as Simon Cowell, who we ALL know as the “evil one” from American Idol. In his defense, at first glance, she honestly wouldn’t LOOK like someone you’d buy a CD from….but she can belt out a song like nobody’s business! She made it to the second round in the competition and will sing in the show’s finale on Saturday. I have to say, I’m rooting for her. Obviously, being in the US, my opinion doesn’t count, but I really hope she wins it for all of us who are older and don’t fit the stereotype. Listen to Susan’s talent in the semi-finals where she brought tears to the eyes of the judges! (and being a CATs fan myself, mine too! beautiful job!)
I’d love to know how they did it, myself, and it might even be worth $10 to me to find out!!
