Who does this guy think he is

As I'm sitting here flipping back and forth to the coverage of the Memorial for Michal Jackson, a friend of mine sent me a video from Congressman Peter King.

I refuse to post it here, but he basically says Michael did some singin' and dancin' and wonders what we are glorifying him for. Now, before the conservatives come flying at me, I better say that he does bring up some good points, such as firemen, solidoers and all not getting the respect they deserve and this MJ coverage has gone too far, but that's not that has my ire raised.

This guy seems to be stuck on the dark side of Michael's life. A part that, in all honesty, seems to only be brought up (and I hate to make this political) by conservatives.

Everyone has a dark side. Look at the recently murdered Steve McNair. He was the poster child for what an NFL qb should be, but his final days have been mired with stuff that you would never have thought him capable of.

Elvis, Marilyn, Mozart, JFK...the list goes on. Yes, they were great people, but they also had this dark side to them. Do we remember them for that, or their accomplishments?

MJ's resume and charity work dwarf his alleged crime. Is it so wrong to want to remember his life? No.

Now, I will say, I am getting a bit tired of all this coverage. I seriously think they're just making up stuff now. After today, they need put it to rest, unless something big happens like he rises out of the ground or something.

lol if he did that, then he better sing "Thriller" hahaha

Eye Candy 4/5

Female Hottie: Venus Williams

This week's female hottie may have just lost to her little sister in the title match at Wimbledon, but that doesn't decrease her hot factor. Tall, muscular, athletic...need I say more?

Male Hottie: Josh Duhamel

Believe it or not, there are other actors in the Transformer movies that Shia Lebeouf and Megan Fox, like Josh Duhamel, here. I don't know much else about him, other than he's married to Fergie and was on that show Las Vegas.

Random Hottie from a movie or TV show seen this week: Daphne Zuniga

I'm actually surprised Daphne isn't a much more popular actress. She's a total hottie, and is very talented to boot. She's had roles in Melrose Place, Nip/Tuck, One Tree Hill, and earns this spot with her appearance in the movie Spaceballs.

MILF: Naomi Watts

Look at this woman. Would you believe she is a mother of 2 boys? I know I can't. Naomi has had roles in a variety of film, and even has an Academy Award nomination on her resume. Let's keep an eye out for more of her hotness, shall we?

Classic/Retro Hottie: Dawn Wells

To this day, there is still an ongoing debate as to who is hotter Ginger, or Mary Ann. Well, here's Mary Ann, Dawn Wells. At 70 years old, she's still mostly known for that role, but she did do a few other roles, but as you can see, she'll always be remembered as Mary Ann.











**Side Note** somehow I foolishly deleted last week's eye candy post, so here they are again with out the spiel.







































Female Hottie: Rachael Leigh Cook
Male Hottie: Matt Damon
Random Hottie from a movie or TV show seen this week: Isabel Lucas
MILF: Courtney Thorne-Smith
Classic/Retro Hottie: Rita Moreno

Another blast from the past

You guys really liked my retro commercial video from last week, so I figured why not give you another dose of retro-ness



how many do you remember?

Happy 4th of July

Mommy's guilt trip

So, I called the 'rents this afternoon. The usual call. Pleasantries, how are things going. Asking if I'd been keeping up with the Michael Jackson stuff, blah, blah,blah. Then I get the guilt trip.

Mothers are known for guilt tripping heir kids, and usually I manage to get away from these, but with my sister going for a visit this holiday weekend, I guess she figured it was time to lay the guilt on me, especially since I haven't been back for awhile (a point she made sure to mention more than a few times).

Now, I'm no one to run visit on holidays. She knows that. I'm of the belief that it should be no different to visit on December 25th than June 25th, y'know? Plus, I hate driving through holiday traffic.

If I was able to get away sometime this summer, I would go, but that just doesn't look like it's gonna happen until until Labor Day.

To add to the guilt, she just happened to conveniently bring up the fact that my little brother is 17 and looking for a job and that it would be nice if I could send him a couple dollars. Nothing wrong with that...it's just the way she snuck it in there....more guilt.

Oh well, I guess it happens, right?

Anyone have any idea where a 17 yr old autistic boy can work? No one seems to want to hire him.
