Britney Spears - VMA's

So just about every blog on the planet is discussing (trashing) Britney's performance last night on the MTV Video Music Awards.
Yeah, it wasn't so good.
A lot of the site's are commenting on how "huge" Brit looked.
Now lets keep in mind the woman has had two children within less than three years.
Here is a couple of pic's from last night.



First thing, the girl is not huge or even slightly over weight.
I guess the fact she doesn't look anorexic makes her fat.
This is why so many young woman and men are growing up with unrealistic body images in our countries.
She longs pretty damn fine to me.
You be the judge.
Your comments are appreciated.

Stephen King's The Mist

I can't wait for this movie.
I said earlier that I don't like the fall, but one of the only pleasurable things that the season brings is usually a whole whack of new horror movies.
The latest Stephen King movie is due in theaters in late November.
The Mist was a short story found in the collection titled "Skeleton Crew" released back in 1985.
I still remember reading this book and how disappointed I was at first that it was bunch of short stories.
It turns out it had some of the most terrifying moments that King has ever written contained in its pages.
It probably helps that I was only 13 at the time and less desensitized to all the horror than I am now.
That said, The Raft, The Monkey, and The Mist were some of the best.
Unlike some Stephen King movies this one looks half decent.
They have a good cast with some fairly well known actors, such as, Thomas Jane and Marcia Gay Harden.
I will be in line opening weekend for this one.
Here is the trailer.

As the summer of 2007 fades away here is a clip of the song that will always remind me of this year.



Not one to jump on a bandwagon...yeah right...
I hated this song the first dozen or so times I heard it, but it started to grow on me.
Now I hate to admit it, but I really like it.


In case your interested her is Rhianna's new song "Shut up and Drive"
I hate this one two.
Check back in a couple of months though, who knows I'll probably have changed my
mind.



P.S.
If your wondering where you have heard that song before? That is if you were born before 1990, its a New Order song called "Blue Monday".

Inspiration

I can't believe that another month has almost gone by and I haven't done anything with this blog....
I'm just waiting for inspiration....
Summer is basically over and I'm sure that will give me lots to blog about.
I hate this time of the year.
Fall is the season of death.
More on that later.

Aural Pleasures - Part 4

Relax, Take It Easy, if that isn't the title for a huge summer hit I don't know what is.
It's the latest hit from Mika, the boy behind the song "Grace Kelly"
This song, also seems to borrow from an 80's hit.
I didn't really catch it a first, I have to give the credit to Mark, he was the one who said that it sounded a lot like "I just died in you arms tonight" by the Cutting Crew.
It reminded me more of something by the Scissor Sisters but I see where Mark's coming from.
Either way I have played the crap out of this song over the last few days.
Hope you like it too.

First up Mika....



Next for your consideration Cutting Crew with "I just died in your arms tonight"



Lastly a little Scissor Sisters....guaranteed to get you out of your seat and dancing around your computer.

Ironically "I Don't Feel Like Dancing"

Aural Pleasures - Part 3

About three weeks ago we had our annual boat(booze)cruise at work.
It's a great event that the store social fund hosts annually.
We spend about three hours cruising back and forth on the Ottawa river.
This year had the usual drunken episodes....
More about that later.
After a few cocktails I wasn't feeling any pain and I started to dance.
This year I spent the evening dancing with one of our newest employees.
Thing was that she loved music from the 80's.
So we ended up dancing most of the night and we kept requesting more and more music.
Our favorite of the evening had to be Jermaine Stewart's classic "We don't have to take our clothes off"
In case you don't remember it(or to young to even know it)here's a reminder.



The point of the post?
While I was on vacation last week I heard the new song by Gym Class Heroes.
It's called "Clothes Off"
Three guesses as to which song they sample and the first two don't count.
Here's there "new" song.
As someone who enjoys rap music I don't find it to bad, but I think the classic version is still the best.



Not sure who Gym Class Heroes are?
Here is their first hit "Cupids Chokehold"

Hello

I well it's been a busy summer and I have done absolutely nothing with this blog.
Surprisingly enough Mary has not been bugging me to update....
I hope that doesn't mean that she's stopped checking in.
The point is holidays are over for us at least until September so I will get back at things.
More updates to follow.
I promise.

Lewis "Scooter" Libby

Scooter Libby had his prison sentence commuted today, by George Bush, which means he will never serve a day in prison. In case your not familiar with case , Scooter was convicted of lying to the CIA about the Vice Presidents involvement with a leak that exposed an undercover agent. An agent who's husband severely angered the President and the Vice President.

So lets recap



Pairs Hilton - Driving with a suspended license 21 Days



Martha Stewart - Lying to investigators 5 Months



Lewis Libby - Lying to investigators 0 Days



Disgusting, impeach this man before he destroys your country.
