VALENTINES DAY

I love this holiday! I really do. And I am such a hater on all these people who say "Its a Hallmark holiday" blah blah... you know what?? That's what bitter people say when they cant celebrate it. And don't get me wrong, I'm not ragging on the single people, I still think its a great holiday for everybody to celebrate with everybody. Not just a boyfriend or girlfriend. Really, Valentines day is about expressing your love. Everybody you love.

I'm going to be in Calgary this year for Valentines day and it couldn't be more perfect for me. I haven't been home since the summer and I am very excited to get some time at home with all the people I love.

So where did this disbelief and cynicism about this holiday begin anyways? Giving Valentines has been a tradition since the 19th century. And I'm pretty sure Hallmark certainly wasn't around then. So for all you Bitter Betty's out there claiming its a holiday created by corporations... Call up your friends and your family and make them feel special this Valentines day.
How are you spending Valentines day???

BALDING MEN

123456789.... COOL!

I love random crap like this... And I have an obsession with having to "rub the clock for luck" when its 5:55 or 2:22, times like that. So you can imagine my fascination when i found this out.

Today marks a moment in time that happens only once in a lifetime. At 12:34:56 this afternoon take note! Why? Because it's also July 8, 2009. If you take all those numbers and put them together you get 12:34:56/7/8/9. Weird, huh?

Another cool moment is just a few years away....at the exact moment of the minute of silence on Remembrance Day, 2011, we will experience 11:11:11/11/11/11.

Very interesting. To me at least...

BIRTHDAYS

Do you remember what you've done for your birthday every year? I don't remember all of mine, But I do remember most. Last year Cory and I celebrated ours together since they are only 3 days apart. We held a big Keg Party at our house... I wont do that again anytime soon at my own house, but it was still alot of fun :P

Do you have a favorite Birthday memory? Any horrible ones too? My worst birthday was my 12th. My birthday was a horrible time of year, its always about a week after school starts, and going into the 7th grade, I had left all my elementary friends behind and was honestly the ONLY kid in grade 7 at my new school that came from my elementary. I had made a couple friends, but wasn't quite friends enough to make plans for my birthday. A few days before my big day my neighbour brought over his pet ferret (who has these rodents as pets btw?!) and the little thing bit me! No damage done, I just went along my business, a little booboo thats all... until his mom came over and told my dad she felt he should take me to the doctor since they got the little rat from an unreliable source apparently, and had never gotten the animal any shots. So anyways I ended up going to the doctor and had to go for Rabies Shots!! YEAH! So I went to the hospital on the day before my 12th birthday and got 5 shots in the palm of my hand, a few in each arm, and 2 in my butt too! Needless to say I was not too excited about my upcoming birthday. I stayed home from school the next few days with a hand swollen to the size of a melon! And the friends I had made at my new school, showed up at my house on my birthday with an ice cream cake and gifts :) So all in all it was my worst birthday, but still a pretty good one.

Whats your birthday stories?

P.S. Happy Birthday Nippy!

CELEB CRUSHES

Let's face it...even though it seems very "highschool"...most of us can relate to "crushin'" on a favorite celeb. I've made no bones about it ...I have it bad for Clive Owen! You know the Tall, Dark and Handsome star of such great movies like Inside Man, Derailed and Closer, I fell in love with him in his rough and tough role in Sin City. He is indeed my eye-candy and sometimes for one brief moment in the deepest darkest recesses of my mind I can imagine starring opposite him in some movie made for two. Even my boyfriend is okay with this little fantasy of mine ..telling me that if I ever had a chance to be with him, he would grant me one night..so long as he could do the same with Kelly Pickler :P Fat Chance for both of us I know ....but it's fun to dream ... right?And isn't that what the movies and such are all about ...escapism in it's purest form? I thought as much. Who is the Celeb you'd have an admission ticket to be with given the chance?

FOR THE LADIES

David Beckham's new Armani underwear ad is out ...ENJOY Ladies!!!!

BEYONCE'S NEW VIDEOS

Beyonce has caught alot of crap about her newest video being very similar to Gwen Verdon's trio of brightly colored chicks synced their moves to "Mexican Breakfast," choreographed by Bob Fosse that was performed on the Ed Sullivan show in the 1960's. Beyonce has said though that she was inspired by the Broadway choreographer, and it was completely intended. She has brought this style into almost all of her video's recently, and I must say I am a fan. Although it seems like being with "Hustler" Jay-Z, has really taken an impact on her. You can see a new Hustler side, or as she defines what a Diva is... coming out in her too!

"Single Ladies" is completely contagious...but "Mexican Breakfast" will make you cheer for those saucy gals in the '60s.

Which version do you like better? Beyonce’s or the original?? Check it out…
