Old School Spotlight - 4 Non-Blondes

2010-02-17T20:00:00.000-05:00

This song is not an 80's song (which is my absolute favorite decade for music) but it was a very good song in the early 90's. 4 Non-Blondes was formed in 1989 and unfortunately this was their only hit before disbanding the group in '95. Many of my friends hated this group and I wasn't the biggest fan of them overall myself but I really do like "What's Up".

Does Anyone Remember? - Tron

2010-02-10T22:46:00.000-05:00

One of the coolest films of the early eighties, Tron was a film ahead of it's time. A story about a hacker, Kevin Flynn, who finds himself forced into a digital world by the evil Master Control where he joins up with Tron to defeat him. Good news for TRON fans...TRON LEGACY!

Super Bowl Commercial

2010-02-08T20:19:00.000-05:00

Hands down...this is the funniest Super Bowl commercial of 2010. Kid slaps man who tries to date his mother but worst of all takes his Doritos. Which one was your favorite?

A Few Of My Favorite Actors

2010-02-06T20:46:00.003-05:00

Last month I created a post about a few of my favorite actresses. Well, of course, I couldn't leave out a few of the male actors that I feel are the best out there. Johnny Depp Favorite Movies: ** Pirates of the Carribean ** ** The Libertine ** ** Edward Scissorhands ** My Thoughts: Can quite easilty fit into nearly any role given to him. Denzel Washington Favorite Movies** Cry Freedom ****

Are you LOST???

2010-02-04T21:13:00.002-05:00

Anyone who knows me, knows that I am HUGE "Lost" fan. I could try my best to summarize this epic television series for you. Unfortunately, however, if you haven't been watching, it would take me entirely too long to get you caught up. However, here's a great catch up video: I really recommended buying (or at least renting) the previous seasons of Lost to truly get caught up. It will have

Evil People We Should Meet

2010-02-01T20:38:00.000-05:00

I wonder...does anyone think like I do? I think in order to defeat evil you have to understand it. To conquer fear, you must confront it. I would love to go back throughout the past and have a conversation with some of the most evil people recorded in history. I would love to understand why they made their decisions in life and pursued evil as they did with such conviction. People I would

Does Anyone Remember? – One Crazy Summer

2010-01-30T18:15:00.034-05:00

Starring a young John Cusack and Demi Moore, this movie tells the story of Hoops McCann (John Cusack), a cartoonist fresh out of high school who's trying to get into art school. In an effort to help him clear his head, Hoops' high school buddy, George, invites him to spend summer with him at his grandparent's house in Nantucket. There he makes friends with Cassandra (Demi Moore), an aspiring

Lady Gaga - A Capella

2010-01-28T21:41:00.001-05:00

A Cappella is an awesome form of music and this woman, who goes by nayamarie2009 on her YouTube account, does it well. Instead of five different people in a group blending their sound together, she makes five separate tracks of her individual voice creating a beat-box, lead vocal, back-ups and instruments to construct a medley of Lady Gaga songs ending with Paparazzi.

Movies Can Save The Government???

2010-01-27T20:59:00.004-05:00

Once again, I was watching the local news station this morning and one of the anchors made, what turned out to be, a surprisingly GREAT suggestion to cure the national debt. Have you heard of the movie, AVATAR??? Yeah it was that movie that has, so far, grossed over a $1.8 Billion. Remove the $500 million it took to make it and you have $1.3 Billion in net sales…so far!!! Our national debt is

We Are The World

2010-01-26T19:11:00.001-05:00

With everything happening over in Haiti, it made me think about the 1985 song written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie for USA for Africa (United Support of Artists for Africa) efforts. Once again…I am a child of the EIGHTIES! So, obviously, I grew up loving this song. It was released on March 7, 1985 and sold over 20 million units and raised over $63 million for aid in Africa. With

Funny Wedding Photos

I did a search for funny wedding photos...here's what I found. Enjoy!

Singer Spotlight - Sara Bareilles

2010-01-24T17:53:00.001-05:00

A pure singer and beautiful songwriter, Sara, has added depth to an industry that is constantly saturated with untalented artists that offer nothing more than a short-skirt, long legs and an invitation to have imaginary sex on camera. Sara has been out for a while but I thought I would post this here for anyone who has not had the pleasure of experiencing her work. Check out the video

Another Banking Tip – Margin Loans

2010-01-23T19:30:00.000-05:00

Many of you who have investments may be aware that you have the ability to access a loan that uses your investments as collateral known as Margin, which is issued by your broker. This is similar to borrowing against your 401k. Typically it will have the following characteristics: Uses the securities/investments/assets that you hold with your brokerage firm as collateral. Margin rates typically

What Do You Think?

2010-01-22T22:02:00.000-05:00

One of the local news stations brought up a very interesting point that I thought I would share with you here. Do we rally around other countries more than we rally around the citizens of our own? Let me preface this by saying that I think it is one of the most important things that you can ever do to help others in their time of need. My only question is, however, why does it seem that when

Magic Eye 1

2010-01-21T20:13:00.000-05:00

I really find Magic Eye Stereograms very interesting. Especially since it took me a little while to figure how to see the images inside. Magic Eye Stereograms are optical illusions of depth created from flat, two dimensional image or images. Basically they are 3D images inside another image. I found the one above at www.vision3d.com. There a few of methods used to view the 3D image in a

Does Anyone Remember?...The Greatest American Hero

2010-01-20T21:58:00.000-05:00

Once again, I am a child of the eighties. One of the coolest shows that I remember growing up was "The Greatest American Hero". This was quirky little show about a high school teacher, Ralph Hinkley (played by William Katt) who is given a red superhero suit after an alien encounter. The main premise of the show is that after receiving this crime fighting suit, our here somehow loses the "

Singer Spotlight - Esmee Denters

2010-01-19T20:46:00.000-05:00

This is Esmee Denters. A YouTube sensation that started off simply doing what she does best...SING. Let me tell you, this girl can really deliver. This is one of her beggining posts singing Beyonce Knowles' song "Irreplaceable". Oh did I forget to mention that she was born and raised in DENMARK? Since her debut on YouTube, Esmee has been one of the most widely viewed persons on the popular

Banking Basics

2010-01-18T20:31:00.000-05:00

I live in one of the banking capitals of the world. Here you either work for one of the major banks or for city government. To protect the company that I work for, I will leave its name out. I became surprisingly aware that many people did not know the basics for establishing a bank account with a local bank. So, I thought that I would place some basic information that you might want to know

Farmville Anyone?

2010-01-17T21:53:00.000-05:00

By now, it's probably hard to find anyone who is NOT on Facebook. It's by far the best social networking site out there and if you're on it, you've probably played one of the many social networking games that it offers. The best games are those created by ZYNGA. Games like Mafia Wars, YoVille or my personal favorite...Farmville (not to be confused with FarmTown...which is terrible!!!). I

Does Anyone Remember?...The Pirate Movie

2010-01-16T23:15:00.000-05:00

From time to time, I want to post some nostalgic items (movies, pictures, etc.) and see if it sparks any fond memories for anyone. I'll warn you...some of these are obscure and not well known. The first one is... THE PIRATE MOVIE Born in the late 70's, I'm really a child of the 80's and I love my eighties music and movies. This cheesy parody of "The Pirates of Penzance" provides both. It

A Few Of My Favorite Actresses

2010-01-15T17:04:00.000-05:00

Cate Blanchett Favorite Movies: ** The Aviator ** ** Elizabeth: The Golden Age ** ** I'm Not There ** My Thoughts: She is a traditional beauty but easily adapts to her roles. Halle Berry Favorite Movies: ** Monster's Ball ** ** Things We Lost In The Fire ** ** Introducing Dorothy Dandridge ** My Thoughts: Classic beauty who has truly developed into a talented actress. Angelina Jolie

Haiti

2010-01-14T14:36:00.001-05:00

I'm sure that everyone has seen the stories anout the earthquakes in Haiti. If not, here's a link to one of the stories. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703685004575002331568145388.html?mod=WSJ_World_MIDDLENews I feel terrible for this poor country, having been rocked with a 7.0 earthquake leaving destruction in it's wake. I found it odd, however, that China only gave

Honey Bun Cake - My Favorite Cake

2010-01-13T20:22:00.000-05:00

Anyone who knows me, knows that I have a HUGE sweet tooth. I love just about anything sweet...cakes, pies, candy...you name it! However, by far, my most favorite cake is a Honey Bun Cake. This cake is so moist and has a brown sugar and cinnamon center that makes your mouth melt. A family member of mine brought it to one of our family reunions years back and I have begged her to make it for me

Nice Singer - Jennifer Chung

2010-01-12T21:15:00.000-05:00

Okay, so I like this girl Jennifer J. Chung. Occasionally I like to seek out good singers and see how far YouTube can take them. Jennifer has a pure voice that's pleasing to the ear. I think, if given a chance, she could put out a nice little album. Mostly ballads but she could probably fit some up tempo songs in there. From some of her videos, she at least has experience performing in front

New Episode of Chuck

2010-01-11T19:51:00.000-05:00

Okay, so I DVR'd the first episode of the new season of "Chuck" on NBC. I love this show!!! Zachary Levi as "Chuck" is pretty funny and I love the fact that Chuck is now UPGRADED. Basically, he flashes as on government secrets that grant him knowledge from information uploaded directly to his brain from a high-tech computer program called the "Intersect". In the last episode, he was
