3900 Saturdays

My mom sent me a chain e-mail this past week.

Usually they're about something spiritual or about saving money...

This one was different, and it got me thinking.

I spend 40+ hours a week working a kind of crappy job, I don't get paid nearly enough for the stress or the amount of work I put in, and I'm always having trouble paying bills, etc. Needless to say I've been wishing away my work days to get to my days off, however I never realized just how important those days are... because they important because we don't get many of them...

Read below.

'3900 Saturdays'


The older I get, the more I enjoy Saturday mornings. Perhaps it's the quiet solitude that comes with being the first to rise, or maybe it's the unbounded joy of not having to be at work. Either way, the first few hours of a Saturday morning are most enjoyable.

A few weeks ago, I was shuffling toward the garage with a steaming cup of coffee in one hand and the morning paper in the other. What began as a typical Saturday morning turned into one of those lessons that life seems to hand you from time to time. Let me tell you about it:

I turned the dial up into the phone portion of the band on my ham radio in order to listen to a Saturday morning swap net. Along the way, I came across an older sounding chap, with a tremendous signal and a golden voice. You know the kind, he sounded like he should be in the broadcasting business. He was telling whom-ever he was talking with something about 'a thousand marbles..' I was intrigued and stopped to listen to what he had to say....

' Well, Tom, it sure sounds like you're busy with your job. I'm sure they pay you well but it's a shame you have to be away from home and your family so much. Hard to believe a young fellow should have to work sixty or seventy hours a week to make ends meet. It's too bad you missed your daughter's 'dance recital' he continued. 'Let me tell you something that has helped me keep my own priorities.' And that's when he began to explain his theory of a 'thousand marbles.

'You see, I sat down one day and did a little arithmetic. The average person lives about seventy-five years. I know, some live more and some live less, but on average, folks live about seventy-five years.

'Now then, I multiplied 75 times 52 and I came up with 3900, which is the number of Saturdays that the average person has in their entire lifetime. Now, stick with me, Tom, I'm getting to the important part.

It took me until I was fifty-five years old to think about all this in any detail', he went on, 'and by that time I had lived through over twenty-eight hundred Saturdays.' 'I got to thinking that if I lived to be seventy-five, I only had about a thousand of them left to enjoy. So I went to a toy store and bought every single marble they had. I ended up having to visit three toy stores to round up 1000 marbles I took them home and put them inside a large, clear plastic container right here in the shack next to my gear.'

'Every Saturday since then, I have taken one marble out and thrown it away. I found that by watching the marbles diminish, I focused more on the really important things in life.

There's nothing like watching your time here on this earth run out to help get your priorities straight .'

'Now let me tell you one last thing before I sign-off with you and take my lovely wife out for breakfast. This morning, I took the very last marble out of the container. I figure that if I make it until next Saturday then I have been given a little extra time. And the one thing we can all use is a little more time.'

'It was nice to meet you Tom, I hope you spend more time with your family, and I hope to meet you again here on the band. This is a 75 Year old Man, K9NZQ, clear and going QRT, good morning!'

You could have heard a pin drop on the band when this fellow signed off. I guess he gave us all a lot to think about. I had planned to work on the antenna that morning, and then I was going to meet up with a few hams to work on the next club newsletter.

Instead, I went upstairs and woke my wife up with a kiss. 'C'mon honey, I'm taking you and the kids to breakfast.' 'What brought this on?' she asked with a smile. 'Oh, nothing special, it's just been a long time since we spent a Saturday together with the kids. And hey, can we stop at a toy store while we're out? I need to buy some marbles.

New!

A new stop-motion painting colab. video!

It's pretty sick this time around. They've found a great new space too!

GaGa is Brilliant.

I love how she talks about Downtown Manhattan. I didn't think I could fall any more in love with it until I hear her talk about it how I've always seen it.

That might sound strange but it makes perfect sense to me.

Sunday, October 11, 2009

Ugh...

This is so amazing.

Lady Gaga took time out of her personal life to head down to DC during the Equality March to lend her support and perform for the thousands in attendance...

Instead of performing one of her own pieces (and attempting to sell albums at the worst time possible, like others might) she performed John Lennon's Imagine, and of course threw in her own verse or two and made it relevant to the event.

Needless to say it's pretty breathtaking.

I think John would approve (Yoko might sue, however...).

Enjoy.

Equality for all.

WORK WORK WORK!

This is so great. Gaga took time to recreate her hit song Poker Face for SNL this past weekend. She also personalized it for SNL and for NY and for her fans IN NY. So amazing. She actually sings!

Eat that Ashlee Simpson.

How cool is that sphere thing she's wearing at the top?!

Amazing.

She's also broken a few records on the Billboard charts this past month, as well as outselling most other artists this year with a debut album. She's also completed a world tour and still is on the tip of everyone's tongues! I really REALLY hope she's around for a long while.

I also hope that she doesn't have a Britney/Whitney like meltdown.

STAY AWESOME GAGA!!!

Enjoy.

PS: I love her new Hollywood glam look.

WORLD AIDS DAY!


SO! World AIDS Day, December 1st, is fast approaching (I know right!?).

Sometime within the next 62 days I would like 100 of my friends to get tested.

Why do I want my friends and family to get tested?

In 2002 there were 5 MILLION people NEWLY infected with AIDS and an ADDITIONAL 3.1 MILLION people DIED of complications due to AIDS. 5 million is a HUGE number, and although the world is a big place you would be surprised to know how connected you could be to someone with the disease.

IF you don't believe me head on over to GMHC.org for the numbers.



In June of 2002 there were almost 80,000 known (100% known positive) people with AIDS in New York City ALONE! And those are only the cases they KNOW of. It's said that only about HALF the people who have AIDS in NY know it... which means that number was actually closer to 160,000 in New York alone.

SCARY SCARY SCARY! Those poor people!

But this is all the more reason to protect yourself when having sex... only half the people in this city who have AIDS know it!

GET TESTED!

In Maine in 2004 (AIDSaction.org) there were almost 1,400 people living with AIDS. In YORK COUNTY there were 155 people living with AIDS. Those are the reported cases remember... so the actual number could be around 300... in York County alone!

AIDS IS EVERYWHERE and can touch ANYONES lives. Please! Test yourself. Be open, be honest, get tested, and get help or help others.

Want to get tested in Maine? Look for FREE clinic hours here, here, here, or just Google it yourself.

REMEMBER... 100 friends and family members by December 1st!!!!


Let me know if you get tested! I don't need to know the results, just let me know if you did it!

Awkward.

So I can't tell you how much I hate the new Shakira song She Wolf. It's awful. The sound mixing is horrific and the lyrics are HORRIBLE. I will admit, it's catchy... but it's really bad. And the video... this has to be one of the worst videos ever made. The dancing is so incredibly awkward!!

When I saw this copy cat music video I thought maybe this might have been a bit more awkward than the actual video, but then someone cleverly placed the two videos side by side and I realized, it's just as awkward, if not less so.

It's just bad.

But this is funny.

Good job LENO!! Kanye put in his place.

It didn't take Jay Leno more than two minutes to get to the point.

Kanye's been floating on a cloud of ego gas for a while now, and Jay knew just how to bring him down.

You all remember his mother's untimely passing about a year ago right?

So... MTV VMA's

I was supposed to go to the MTV VMA's tonight, but due to shitty planning and a lack of communication between MTV and the event planners I was, with ticket mind you, turned away after waiting in a line for four hours.

SHIT-TAY!!

So, my friend and I snuck around and finally made our way into a restricted area where we were face to face and spoke with Taylor Swift and stood right by Jay-Z for his arrival.

It kind of made up for the fact that we didn't get to go inside.

Some of the people outside however WERE inside at one point and gave us the low down on Kan-yasshole's stage explosion.

I guess she was accepting her award for best POP video and he jumped up MID-SPEECH and stole the mic proclaiming Beyonce's video was the best of the year. He then handed the mic back to the 19 year old Taylor and left. Taylor being in shock gave a dancer the mic and walked off the stage RIGHT after MTV went to commercial.

Taylor then maybe three minutes later had to perform.

I had the pleasure of running into her after she jammed out on 6th Avenue (when she was done the audience - which ran 300 people thick all up and down every corner of the intersection - a few thousand people started chanting her name) and saw that her eyes were all red and she was a bit teary eyed. I had no idea then that Kanye was the reason.

But leave it to a true professional to save the day.

Later in the evening Beyonce won for best video and told the audience how excited she was to win when she was in Destiny's Child as a teen, and then she called out Taylor and let her finish her acceptance speech.

Beyonce - you are an amazing woman.

Taylor - I'm buying your album this week only to up your numbers and show Kanye how little he truly is.

Kanye - you were one of my favorite artists. I now have a strong unfavorable taste in my mouth for you. Lame lame lame.

Here's a video of Kanye being an a-hole, followed by one of Beyonce being awesome, followed by a funny Obama mash-up.

I fled your apartment wearing only a bathrobe - m4m - 23 (Midtown West)


Date: 2009-09-05, 1:26PM EDT

We met at Vlada Bar last night, after which you took me back to your apartment in what I think is Washington Heights. Anyway, for some reason I decided to run out of your apartment wearing only a bath robe that I found. I then walked across the GW bridge, and was stopped by a police officer on the NJ side. He drove me back to Manhattan in his cruiser, and I proceeded to sleep in a park on the ground for a while. Finally I found a cab willing to take me to a friend's place. That same friend took me back to your place this morning, but I could not remember which apartment was yours. My wallet, phone, and all of my clothes are still inside your place, so please check my phone for a bunch of missed calls and then call that number. I very much need my things back, especially my drivers license as I will not be able to board my flight home to California without it and will be stranded in New York forever. I had a great time though! Please call me. Thanks!

Sometimes I feel as though my struggle is a big one, and then something brings me right back down and shows me how lucky I really am.

Take this amazing clip (and amazingly rare!) of Helen Keller.

This woman couldn't see or hear, yet through practice and patience she learned.

Brit singing LIVE!!!!!!

Ok, guys... believe it or not, it is a true fact that Britney Spears used to win singing competitions. That's how she got on Star Search as a tyke. In recent years however, she's pretty much mouthed everything like a puppet.

Not the case this week in North Carolina!

Check out Britney singing "You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morisette! COMPLETELY LIVE! The whole song! Amazing!!

IT's ACTUALLY GOOD!!!

BOOED!?

Madonna was booed at a concert in Russia because she said everyone should be treated as equals referring to the Gypsy population being discriminated against in the region.

Why boo? Doesn't that make you look like an ass hole?!

Everyone should be treated as equals. Gay, Black, White, Straight, Scientologist, Catholic, Jew, Boy, Girl... Everyone.

Stop booing and fix the stupid world we live in.

Walkman, at 30, a mystery to teen
Alejandro Martinez-Cabrera

Wednesday, July 1, 2009
San Fran Chronicle


What better way to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Sony's iconic Walkman than to ask a teenager for some feedback on the device?

The BBC couldn't think of one, and neither can I.

I like to imagine that the experience was similar to an archaeologist rediscovering how a recently excavated artifact was employed thousands of years ago. But I'm well aware that it must have been different for 13-year-old Scott Campbell, who co-edits his own news Web site. For one, teenage impatience must have stood in the place where I fantasize scientific curiosity should have been.

"My dad had told me it was the iPod of its day," Campbell wrote. "He had told me it was big, but I hadn't realized he meant that big. It was the size of a small book."

Sure enough, people on the street noticed the antique clinging from his belt with amusement and friends on his school bus were quick to come up with some witty remark.

Campbell went on to criticize the portable cassette player's size, appearance, functionality and the "hissy backtrack and odd warbly noises."

Even when he discovered the cassette had more music on the other side (it took him three days), Campbell was still disappointed it could only hold a small fraction of what an iPod can.

"Did my dad ... really ever think this was a credible piece of technology?"

Ouch.

WOAH!

This would scare the CRAP out of me!

Very interesting...

President Obama wants people to what?!

Paint their roofs white.

Apparently a study finds that the lighter the color, or using a "cool color" on roof tops and highways could significantly reduce the amount of thermal energy absorbed by the planet from the sun. This would in turn reduce the rising temperatures.

This isn't an end all to the global warming emergency the world faces, but it could possibly slow the effects down a bit until we can control ourselves and live a more sustainable life style.

In other words this is just another small thing that can be done until people start waking the hell up and realize the planet is in a 911 phase.

So, I've always thought of SpongeBob as being a bit gay. He and Patrick raise a child together, he dances a little on the gay-ish side, he sings, struts... etc.

Natasha Richardson (wife of Liam Neeson) suffered a blow to the head this week while learning to ski on the beginner slopes of a mountain in Canada. The 45 year old actress herself laughed after falling, walked around, and went back to where she was staying. It wasn't until later that day when she started complaining of a severe headache that she received medical attention. Later slipping into a coma and being left "brain dead" she was flown to New York with her husband so friends and family could say their quick and unexpected goodbyes. She was taken off life support earlier thisafternoon.

Her husband released this statement today about the entirely too soon loss of the his Tony Award winning wife (Sally in Cabaret 1998) and mother of his sons:

"Liam Neeson, his sons, and the entire family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Natasha. They are profoundly grateful for the support, love and prayers of everyone, and ask for privacy during this very difficult time."

To read more on the accomplished actress and her familial ties to the stage and screen read more HERE at IMDB.com. Natasha was currently working on the Broadway revival of A Little Night Music with her mother.

Here she is performing "Maybe This Time" live in Cabaret in Studio 54, on Broadway.

Obama wants to cut it in half before his first term in office is up... Lets hope for the future of this country that it happens.

The national debt clock is located to the right on the first page of my blog... check it out. Look at how fast it grows!

Also... here's a graphic going back to right before Regan. Look at how high it gets when the first Bush is in office! Then Clinton brings it down to 18 Billion, it's lowest in decades, and then the next Bush... just check it out.

Apparently a car overheated on the Manhattan street they were on. The car came to a stop, steam started flowing out of under the hood, and someone on the street/sidewalk yelled "There's a BOMB!" and everyone FREAKED OUT. This looks like something out of a movie.

Like that song on the Geico "Cash" commercials? You know... "That's the money you could be saving by switching to Geico."

Well, in a pretty awesome move the company is offering a free download of the full remake by Rockwell vs. Mysto & Pizzi featuring vocals by Renald Francoeur... no strings!

Vert interesting...

Someone with a lot of time on their hands has taken Garfield out of all the Garfield comics. It may sound strange, but it takes the comic in a completely different direction. John actually seems pretty sad, and depressed. And it is a good portrayal of a single man living on his own and how he would act.

Check it out by clicking here.

Oh, Britney...

On a recent tour stop Britney had a little quick change malfunction... apparently a piece of her costume didn't quite make it on, or wasn't fully attached.

Here's a clip of the tour, and at the end after the lights go out you can hear her warn her tour mates... haha

Another iMix!

I've published another mix on iTunes. Click here to check it out and possibly purchase this mix.

Do your ear-lobes a favor!

THANK GOD!

Click here to read Perez Hilton's review of Britney Spears' new Circus tour.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, God. I am so glad she's back and doing well again. It's like a cloud has lifted!

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!

Every touring artist should do this!!

This is such an amazing idea. Not only does the consumer get an amazing deal, but the artist gets a way to bump "sales" and push themselves further into the future.

No Doubt (one of our favorites) is going on tour this summer. Yes, you heard me right. They're going on TOUR!

And when you buy a ticket, you don't just get to sit in the same room with the band and listen to them jam out to some of your old favorites and their old number ones, but YOU GET A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD OF THEIR ENTIRE CATALOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT?!?!

AMAZING!

That means you get a digital copy of each and every album No Doubt has released for FREE with the price of your ticket.

It's almost worth the ticket price just for that!

What other artists would you like to do that?

So...

The Octo-Mom recently "lost" one of her children and called 911. Not any of the Octo, but one of the previous six children.

It's not clear when this happened... it could have been before the Octo, or after, but either way... she thought she lost a child.

And come to find out? The kid was taking a walk with his grandmother.

She says she's going to kill herself, is generally freaking out

Here's the call... have a listen.

The Verdict: ehhh, oh boy

Robert DeNiro Pictures, Images and Photos

Well...

You can't always get it right on your first try.

Jimmy Fallon BOMBED on his new show tonight - in my opinion.

DeNiro looked like he was BORED TO DEATH. Even when Justin was on trying to stir up some laughter.

Timberlake came on and it was like two kids at a sleepover talking about inside stuff, and what they used to do on SNL. Jimmy awkwardly asked him to sing a few times...

The whole thing was really awkward.

And the Roots were a HORRIBLE. The transitional music was so strange and uncomfortable.

For an actual laugh, check out Jimmy on last weeks "Martha Stewart Show: The Pot Show" I kid you not, I talked about it earlier in the week. "The Pot Show"

I don't get it but it's dripping in comedy.


fun, Fun, FUN!

Late Show Pictures, Images and Photos

So!

I was at a taping of the David Letterman show this evening (Airing on Friday) with some decent guests!

I've been to the show before and... not going to lie... it was kind of lame. I think the other guest I saw was Mila Kunis (That 70's Show, Family Guy), and it was when she was pretty young, and not necessarily good at sit down interviews. Needless to say it sucked a bit.

Tonight was a lot better.

Plus I was sitting in the THIRD row (SICK!!!)!!

The first guest tonight was Jason Segel. He's in the new movie I Love You Man with Paul Rudd - I would have rather seen Paul, but Jason was fun. He actually kept the conversation up really well and had a ton of great funny stories to tell. The Brad Pitt one he tells is pretty funny.

The next guest was a comedian. Brian Kiley. I have to say... he wasn't very funny. David didn't laugh once over at his desk. He delivered all short, brief one liners. A few of them were good, but most of them played on the shock factor... eh. I didn't really care for him.

The top ten list was a bit dry... Top Ten Reasons Why Your Spring Break Might Be A Bad One or something like that.

And the musical guest?

U2 Pictures, Images and Photos

U frigging 2.

It was pretty awesome.

I never thought I'd see them live. Not because I don't like them, but because I don't like them enough to rush out and camp on the sidewalk to buy tickets to their concerts, hah.

They look and act exactly the same as you think they would.

When they started performing I was a little let down that we had to sit through their new single that hasn't received many good reviews.

However, I have to say... I really liked "Put on Your Boots". It's much better live and the guys had a lot of fun playing it. It's a lot different than what they usually do... more on the pop/rock/alternative. But, it's nice. I wish I had heard something different, but this was for the Friday show... so I'm sure they wanted to go out with their first single from the album to drive up sales (which are down, Down, DOWN).

Watch the show on Friday and decide for yourself.

Crazy Nature...

A PINK dolphin was discovered swimming in the open seas by a sea faring crew.

It's a rare thing, a thing of legend, and pretty cool.

Perez Hilton reported today that there is a musical movie in the making to be excited about!!

DAMN YANKEES!!!

Apparently Jim Carey and Jake Gyllenhaal are the only names signed on so far.

NICE!

If ONLY they could change the Washington Senators to the Boston Red Sox... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make that happen. How AMAZING that would be!!

Hipsterrunoff.com

A good friend recently introduced me to Hipsterrunoff.com where they post some pretty interesting information and some fairly radical ideas... and it's pretty fantastic.

Here we have a chart, which they say is actually factual and true, of SAT scores VS choices in music.

It's pretty interesting. My taste in music is all over the place, what does that mean? I got a 1200 on my SAT's (I know... I could have done better, but frankly I didn't care), so does that mean I can like everything below my score? I'm a HUGE fan of Jazz, but I also love Guster and Ben Folds...

Interesting.

Here's the chart:

Thank you Perez...

Perez posted this little gem today. He calls this guy his mini-me. I can't tell if it's a kid or a little adult.

Either way, if you pause the video while watching it the facial expressions are amazing.

More on Beyonce FAKING it...

Perez Caught some more on the story of Beyonce giving us a CHEAP performance at the Oscars this past weekend.

Click here for the new info.

DON'T PERFORM AT THE OSCARS IF YOU'RE GOING TO FAKE IT... IT'S THE FRIGGING OSCARS!

Check out Martha Stewart!

Martha Pictures, Images and Photos

Martha had quite the theme to her show today with Jimmy Fallon!

She started out "Once a pot lover, always a pot lover..."

REALLY?!?!

Wait... you have to click here and watch it for yourself. Go to the show "Monday - February 23rd" and watch the sample clip.

MEGAN KIBOTA Pictures, Images and Photos

Martha also showed up on one of Conan's last shows this week. She's the first guest... check it out here.

I can't help but think that Martha got her idea for both of these appearances from this womans blog (posted this summer):



What do you think?

What's gotten into Martha?!

I LOVE IT!

Watch!

It seems pretty obvious that Beyonce isn't singing live. Her voice is being run through a completely different system!! And there's auto correct in it.

However... I can't tell if the High School Musical kids are singing or not... I think they're lip syncing, but I'm not sure.



What do you think?

Why do you think Beyonce had to fake it tonight?

UPDATE:

Perez Hilton caught onto it too!!!

The Oscars.

Oscars Pictures, Images and Photos

Ok.

I thought the Oscars tonight were TERRIFIC!

The new format was absolutely perfect. It kept me watching, it kept me entertained, and at times it was very touching.

I loved the presentation format for the actor awards, with the five previous winners speaking of the nominees. It was actually really nice. It was interesting to see how the Hollywood heavyweights all interacted when they had to say nice things about their competition and and coworkers.

It was also interesting to see people complain, pretty much in front of the world... like Bill Maher. Sir... we all know you're not nominated, you're presenting the award in the category. Don't tell us how upset you are about it. Just because you're Bill Maher doesn't mean you should be nominated. Obviously there were five better choices. Let it go.

I thought the musical numbers were fun, but lacked something. Talent? Hugh was great and did everything he could, but obviously they had the wrong people writing these things. If you want spectacle, and pazaz, and something eye catching and entertaining... have it done by the right people. The Broadway people. Hollywood can't do it without B'Way's help.

I also can't BELIEVE Slumdog took so much home! I guess I'll have to see the movie. I really wanted Benjamin Button to take something in one of the major categories... but alas, it didn't happen.

What did you think of the Oscars this year? Let me know!

Beyonce Sucked.

I know... it's rare, but it happened.

Beyonce sucked and sucked HARD at the 81st Annual Academy Awards tonight. S U C K E D.

The director of Australia and Moulin Rouge put together a little song and dance number celebrating the musical movie and the "comeback" of musicals in film.

Well, it seems to me that Hugh Jackman was the only person actually singing. Beyonce was canned, and canned her performance, and sucked. Zach Effron sucked... as did his arm wart Vanessa Hudgens. And the two kids from Mamma Mia sucked.

Why put these people on TV to sing and dance... if they're NOT going to sing and dance. WE CAN SEE RIGHT THROUGH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

STOP ALLOWING PERFORMERS TO NOT DO THEIR JOB! Why/who is paying them to do that?! It was awful. I'm really upset that they couldn't hire someone who could actually do both things for all this work.

Shame... shame... shame.

PS

Congrats to Heath Ledger. Completely deserved.

Pretty Hilar...

I love watching Martha squirm... it doesn't happen often enough, but when it does... it's amazing.

Saturday, February 21, 2009

Wait a minute... this is amazing.

You COULDN'T write this stuff.

This girl is a comedic genius.

My favorite part: "I'm her mom" other cat "Noooo she's not!"




Thanks X

Goodbye.

Conan Pictures, Images and Photos

Last night marked Conan O'Brien's last night as the host of Late Night on NBC. Jimmy Fallon will be taking his place on March 2nd.

This was one of my favorite shows. I think the man is brilliant and a true dork. I love it.

Although I'll miss him coming to us from his tiny ass studio at 30 Rock... I think he's going to take LA over by storm and truly create another amazing version of Tonight Show.

He's got some big shoes to fill... but he's 6'4", how hard could it be. ;)


Conan takes over the tonight show on June 1st 2009. To take a peek at the show and how it's run check out this cool site: The Tonight Show Experience

ADORABLE!

I'm not sure if all of you have seen the sneezing panda video, but this is the CUTEST response video I've ever seen!!

These two girls are being shown the video by, I assume, their father. The reaction is amazing!

The younger one looks like a frigging doll!!! And I love her little smile when she first sees the baby panda!

First, here's the panda vid:



Now the girls!:
