DVD - THE SECRET

Watch this - no really. I am totally behind this. Law of attraction here I come!! A seriously interesting take on the principles of happiness, wealth, abundance and prosperity.

When you break it down (and move past the new age vibe), you just might discover this attitude describes the most successful and prosperous people in your life. I did. I have always looked to certain friends as role models and wondered their secret. Now I know, they practice this without realizing so. I definitely have some new ideas on accomplishment...

* my new mantra "Health, Wealth, Happiness and Love"

SKYWALKER

GRAND CANYON 2007
A thought occurred to me as I looked down one last time at the gleaming crystal floor. How were they going to keep it clean on the underside?

"Underneath? We haven't figured that out yet..." - Reuters

GUERRILLAS IN THE WILD

Wouldn't you know that the rest of the world has the right idea, and it is only us here at home who are still deluded. From Paraguay:

SOUTH AMERICAN FLIGHTS OF FANCY

One of the best nights I´ve had on my trip. Not for anything else but a conversation. What do two Americans (one Persian, for the emphasis on the UN nature of this group), two Brits, a Spaniard, an Israeli, a French guy with one hand and a German have in common? Well, we were all stuck here last night, Tuesday with nothing to do, staying at the same hostel, the only hostel. A guys night to just talk. Obviously it is impossible to recount such a hilarious conversation of epic lengths and subjects that left no rock unturned, but I had to share. We drank beers into the wee hours of the morning, listening to everyone´s Ipod and enjoying the novelty of being in Encarnacion, Paraguay on a Tuesday night. - Big Turkey

I love when inspirational things show up in your life. This is definitely one. Travel experiences like this are on the giant, Life To Do List. I swear I can hear the insects buzzing in the not so quiet dark outside, and feel the warm humid air instigating a tiny river of sweat down my stomach, as we all sit around laughing and sharing beers. Go Mikey, grey Los Angeles thanks you!!

HOLLYWOOD BOWL - JULY 06

With the yucky skies today, I find myself drifting off to a warm summer night...

HAPPY MONDAY

I love my South African friends!!!

via email -
Me too - it's been way too long, J! Hopefully I'll get a chance
to chat to you amidst your swarm of friends...

By the way, if your Westside posse gets too drunk to drive back, they
can come and crash in Los Feliz. The apartment is clean ;)

Have a super week. You have just brightened mine.

*see you at the Birthday Bash B!!

THE DAY OF REST - OR RECOVERY, WHATEVER

And this sums up the day after The Standard.


evidence of why your head is foggy, James Bond and sodium. lots of sodium.

SETTING THE STANDARD - STRAIGHT

When given the opportunity to sport The Jumpsuit - you take it! That of course requires that you attend a poshy bar downtown and be retro fabulous!!

* ps - happy St. Sean Patrick Flannery is at the Bar Day!

BRUNCH MEETING MENU - KITTY CEREAL

After a week of circling back and confrontations and all things unexpected, it was time for a low key friday night with my girl. So this morning I am wide awake at an ungodly hour listening to the sound of kitties crunching through breakfast and wondering if it's true that when you sneeze, your eyes would fly out of your head if they were open.

Yes, good morning. Someone bonk my head and let me get some sleep!

MOO-VALOUS!!

Wee size cards have always been this designers thing. Imagine my surprise/elation when I discovered moo! Now I can make zillions of wee cards and take over the world!

BUNNY GLITTER HORN

Hilarious email conversation!

weetiny: "...by the way your stripper name is Bunny Glitter Horn! Just thought you should know."

P: "My stripper name? I don't understand. Do I have a stripper?"

* loves P!

POSTER GOODNESS!!

Sometimes all you need is a new desktop to keep you creatively motivated. I love these guys! It's Where's Waldo for adults who love pop culture!! Meet EBOY!!


London - under UFO attack!

* the city posters rock, rock, rock!

FOR MY FUTURE

Did you know that blood spirals? Huh, me either.

Apparently Spring is not only the time for baby animals to spread their cuteness, it is time to unveil lots of nifty new medical breakthroughs! Like the artificial vein!! No more pesky circulation problems, just have some new veins installed and you are good to go back out on the tennis courts.

Or at least make it down the hall for dinner with your fellow cronies at 4pm! I am filing this under "will need in 40 years".

THOUGHTS FROM THE MILLION DOLLAR BABY

"...But it is not clear how insurers will cover the drug's $2,900 monthly cost, especially for older patients in the nation's Medicare program. Infused cancer drugs are covered under Medicare, but not pills, which fall under the program's voluntary prescription drug coverage plans..." - Reuters

Obviously I have a love/hate relationship to pharmaceuticals. I love that Glaxo continues to fight cancer (yay!) but at what cost? Drug prices. I personally have 50,000.00 chilling in my fridge, set to expire in May (anyone need some Procrit?). When I totaled up my treatment costs, it was well over a million dollars (thank god for insurance).

I don't know the answer, but Tykerb certainly isn't it with that price tag.

CAR SHOTS

I love sticking the camera out the window and just shooting.


school bus

beach house

* taken driving PCH to malibu for dinner at the beach house. thanks for pizza and hbo cuz!

RESTLESS GRANNY

Old Lady vs. Swimming Pool

The Story - On the afternoon of Saturday, February 24, 2007, Los Angeles Firefighters responded to a report of a vehicle in a swimming pool (everyone piled on the truck for this one!)

The woman told responders she had been driving in the parking lot of her apartment complex when she mistook the accelerator for the brake pedal. Her mid-sized sedan crashed through a wrought-iron fence and vaulted a planter before splashing in the shallow end of a swimming pool. It later settled in the deep end, making the tow truck drivers day!

So here's my question - How is her hair still coiffed like a crown of albino cotton candy? Just wondering.


well ma'am,...


...I really don't know what to say.

* note the squashed fence in the background (of frame one) that doubled as a ramp!

INTRODUCING

As promised, Miss Sophia.


she already looks like a star, mama.

* Congratulations S, she's perfect.

HOLY DRUNKY MUNKY!!

Now these little dudes are my kind of animals! I particularly like the guy who pulls his buddy's head out of the cup as if to say, "Bro, you are cut off. Just lookin' out for ya, yo", then finishes it himself. Dude, you're a pro.


you might want to stick to shots in St. Kitts

FORCLEMPT

Happy Monday!! We have three topics up for discussion this morning.

1. HALIBURTON HEADQUATERS MOVING TO DUBAI

2. THE WINDOWS PATCH FOR DAYLIGHT SAVINGS (mac'ees ignore and continue your happy dance - your computer did this for you)

3. HOT GUYS IN STATION WAGONS.

Talk amongst yourselves.

WEE LOAF

Finally, food for single people!


obviously I think it should have been called the wee loaf!


it's so wee!

* there is some major social commentary going on here. are we perhaps recognizing that a large portion of the population doesn't have 4 kids, a mini van and need to shop at costco?

NERDS NIGHT OUT

Oh god, they let the wee ones out of their cages!


naturally we all had sex on the beach - together!


I love you beer!


oops!


that's better


what kind of bar behavior is this?


dixie nose print!


thanks for putting up with our nonsense j!
