One thing is for sure…we have to live our lives to the fullest! Why is it that we always seem to forget that? No more mundane! My new years mid-month-of-May resolution is to live life to the fullest just like a little Mayfly.

Let’s fill our days with the things we love!

After the hype and 15 minutes of fame from the Best Job jazz, this video Endless Cookie kinda gets me thinkin’ - am I a one trick pony? Do I keep sharing the magic or disappear somewhere and turn into a big fat cookie?

People come, people go

Sometimes without goodbyes

Sometimes without hello

She’s got one magic trick

Just one and that’s it

She disappeared

It’s like - now you see her and now you don’t

You think you’re gonna get to know her

Now we won’t

She’s got one magic trick

Just one and that’s it

She disappeared

And that’s it

Ahoy all,

More than 300,000 people showed up to Sydney’s inner-city Darlinghurst to watch this years Mardi Gras parade, and Sydney photographer Keith Loutit was there to capture the entire event from the top of the Courthouse Hotel. Using a multi-camera setup, Loutit shot high quality digital still images to produce his short film called Mardi Gras.

Check out Mardi Gras; an incredible tilt-shift time-lapse video:

Loutit says he wants to bring us the little things in life. Well, there’s nothing better than creating phenomenal videos and gaining a little bit of success. And Keith, you’ve made little - get big!

HAVE YOU TAUGHT YOUR PET TO DO SOMETHING ODD? The Late Show with David Letterman will feature pets who have been trained to do unusual things. Pets must be amateur and owners must be willing to appear with them at auditions and on the show. Letterman says, “Remember, this is not a competition, it is only an exhibition — please, no wagering.”

Ahoy all,

Edinburgh is famous for throwing one of the most memorable New Year’s parties in the world — the Edinburgh Hogmanay. Too bad, so sad that I missed the event of the year…but at least I can virtually velo-tour the Scottish capital with team rider Danny MacAskill - who I like to call either Danny-You-Got-Mad-Skill or Mr. Mac Ass Kill…you try and land on your seat like this!

Instead of sitting around wasting precious energy today with silly blog posts and silly comments about mankind, I will head outside and enjoy a drive in my Hummer up and down Robson Street looking for a parking spot. And when I can’t find a parking spot I will get a little upset and turn up my music really loud to clear my thoughts….

An hour or so later, after a thousand right hand turns around the block, I will still not have found a parking spot. All of those neo-hippies have parked their horse and buggy or electric cars in my deserved spot. I will run out of gas from driving around in circles, so will head to the gas station to fill up my tank for mere pennies; a total of $100.00. I love my 8,500 lbs luxury 4X4 military assault vehicle. It is the ultimate in rugged sophistication, and the best part about my Humvee…I feel like I live in a game world when I drive to the nearby grocery store. Game On!

Happy Earth Day everyone! Do you drive a pink Hummer too?

Ahoy all,

If you are living under a rock and are covered with moss you probably haven’t heard about the over-night sensation named Susan Boyle. The feisty 47 year old Scottish woman surprised the world on April 11th when she sang I Dreamed a Dream in her audition for Britain’s Got Talent. In less than ten days and with over 38 million views on You Tube, Susan’s jaw-dropping performance has got to be the fastest heart-warming video-gone-viral, ever.

Click the photo and watch in awe as Susan Boyle’s moxie makes music history:

Every couple of seconds there is a new comment on You Tube about Miss Boyle’s stellar performance. My favourite comments so far are:

There was a lady called Susan
Who lived with Pebbles the cat
She watched Britain’s Got Talent one night
And said ”Yes I can do that”
So she packed herself a sarnie
And strode out on the stage
She sang her Scottish heart out
And now she’s all the rage

º¤ø„¸¨°º¤ø„…ø¤º° ¸„ø¤º°¨¸„ø¤º°¨
¨°º¤ø„¸ GO! Susan!!¸„ø¤º°¨
¸„ø¤º°¨Ur Awesome!!! `°º¤ø„
¸„ø¤º°¨¸„ø¤º°¨¨°º¤ø„¸¨°º¤

Her cat, Pebbles, is now the world’s most famous cat!!

Ahoy all,

I have been looking for a quite some time for the perfect mood lighting and…hooray, I have found my dream lamp! It’s a dachshund dog created by the Korean design group Want and Needs. The creative group have called their pet project “Milki.” Touch the lamp on its muzzle and the LED light will turn on. I want a Milki, and won’t stop barking until I fetch one.

To pass the time on your hung-over Sunday morning, you might like to watch this stupendous Japanese stop motion by Takeuchi Taijin. I don’t even want to know how long this video took to create! * 竹内さんは、我々は、良い意味でクレイジーだと思う！ Takeuchi-san developed 1300 printed pictures for this wolf and pig chase through his living room. Madness!

“Enjoy a connection with the world of the room and the world in the photograph.”

Ahoy all,

Nothing like jumping rope with a few friends on a beautiful day! Skipping rope can really get the heart pumping and pounding, and it’s probably the most fun way to burn off a couple of calories after gorging on Easter chocolates and ham. Marcella’s Tip: Don’t skip right after eating Easter chocolates and ham.

Even though they lost their rope, you gotta give it to these pros:
