Pablo Escobar's son

Recently Pablo Escobar's son apologized for all of his fathers wrong doings. He also directly apologized to the main assassination victims sons for what his father had ordered done. Pablo Escobar was once one of the most feared men in the world. He was a drug king pin that was based in Columbia. Many people were murdered under his orders. And he disrupted the political part of Columbia for years. The apologies were accepted by all.

Wax My Snow Shovel

Since I learned one of my grandmothers was hung as a witch in Salem in 1692, I have this urge to fly on a broom.  Since that could be dangerous to try the Harry Potter thing without any training, I think I will try riding the snowshovel down a small hill.  Wish me luck.

For the love of ray j

I continue to fall for these reality shows, I watch this show a couple times with friends and next thing you know i'm hooked. It's not a bad show, even though its staged. Sometimes you have to get away from reality and watch "reality shows".

Get Off Your Butt!

Ok, how many times has this been said to you?  "Get off your butt."  It turns out that studies have found that we spend too much time sitting down.  Sound familiar?  Parents are usually the ones who make the earliest observation of this behavior, although it continues throughout our lifetimes.  

An article titled, "Your body's big enemy?  You’re sitting on it", in the Health and Fitness section of MSNBC, and attributed to the magazine "Women's Health" (originally titled, "Sitting Too Much: The dangers of Living a Sedentary Life"), outlines the modern day behavior of spending a lot of time sitting down.  This has an adverse effect on our body's ability to process fats and other metabolic functions, like burning calories.  As we spend more time sitting (a normal position in front of a computer screen), the overall health of the nation has reflected the lack of movement and exercise.  The answer may be to remove all the chairs from classrooms and computer desks. Yeah, like THAT will happen.  Seriously, the answer is in getting up from the chair more often, and climbing stairs, and doing something physical throughout the day.  It used to be that watching television was the big no-no.  Well, try applying that same criticism to all the computer users in all the offices all over the world.  Get off your butt. You might live longer.

$1,800 HDMI cables

This article cracked me up.  Probably because I know some people fell for it.  Wireworld is promoting a Platinum Starlight HDMI cable at the high price of $1,800.  Seriously, who would buy this?  Some poor sap with money to waste that figures he really should have it for the performance of his tv?

The dissapearing Tiger Woods ads

After Tiger's recent car accident and the media firestorm surrounding him in the aftermath, its no surprise that you suddenly don't see any ads featuring the pro golfer on TV anymore.  Many of the ads featured tag lines which no longer seem appropriate for daytime TV. 

Jay Busbee's article on Yahoo!News provides a little bit of comic relief in the situation, listing the tag lines whose meanings have changed the most over the past month. 

"Is it in you?" --These Gatorade Tiger ads have completely disappeared from the airwaves.

In Tiger's defense, no one is perfect, and he deserves more privacy than he is getting. 

BUT, when you are receiving hundreds of millions of dollars in endorsement deals, you should probably take care not to tarnish your image.

The Biggest Loser

Erik Chopin was the season 3 champ of "The Biggest Loser". He went from 407 pounds all the way down to 197. However in a recent "where are they now" search they found that he has put all the weight back on. They are not asking him to return for season 9 due to his previous hard work.

97.1 fm Seinfeld party!

Today at the Emagain in Novi 97.1fm "the ticket" is  having a Seinfeld party. They are going to be airing back to back episodes on the big movie screens. They also have free t-shirts, and DVD box sets they are giving away.

Good place to watch t.v. shows.

TV.Com is a great place to catch TV shows you might have missed. I just found this site the other week and I love it. I highly suggest you give it a shot.

Jersey Shore shutdown

MTV's new show Jersey Shore is under alot of resistance at the moment. Italian American activist groups say the show portrays them as quoted "Italian-Americans are gel-haired, thuggish ignoramuses with fake tans, no manners, no diction, no taste, no education, no sexual discretion, no hairdressers (for sure), no real knowledge of Italian culture and no ambition beyond expanding steroid- and silicone-enhanced bodies." So far Dominoes Pizza and American Family Insurance have pulled their endorsements for the series.
