Get Yourself Some Cheap Sunglasses

Are you good at selling stuff? Do you have an entrepreneurial spirit? If so, you might want to consider selling sunglasses. The link in this sentence will take you to a site that sells Wholesale Replica Sunglasses in bulk for entrepreneurs to resell for whatever amount of profit the market will bear. I can only assume that half of the people who read this will immediately think they are illegal in some way. They are not illegal to sell because they do not have any any brand names or logos on them. You have to abide by the regulations in your particular location of course. But as a licensed hawker, or someone renting flea market space, you could make a nice income. I am going to actually do the math as I write here...the wholesale cost per pair is about $1.33. Suggested selling price is $8.00. If you are at a flea market, you have to sell three pairs before you have your table paid for. After that as long as you are selling one pair per hour, it is much better than flipping burgers. My advice is to do a market study, even if that just means checking out the available points of sale in your area and seeing if there is room for you in the marketplace. Also, larger orders save you money, but find out what the sales potential is before you over invest in stock.

I am Abandoning My Pretend Real Journalism

I have decided, after looking at the Google News results for the query Britney Spears, that I don't want to be a journalist when I grow up. I am going back to the original plan of fireman/astronaut. To sum up what the real journalists have to say, Britney thinks the single life is awesome and she is desperate to have Kevin back. She is partying all the time and she is busily recording her upcoming album, that sucks and is going to be awesome. I'm glad that I am leaving it to the professionals.

Stockwire is one of the biggest Penny Stock websites around. They are currently getting around 100 new members every day. I have some experience with membership sites, that is a good number.

Britney Spears Website Update

Viget Labs has a blog. They do not mention any of their work with musical clients there. It is all web 2.0 jargon and stuff BORING. They do have a page expressing how proud they are to be partnered with Britney Spears. They also built Shania Twain's site, which actually has a functioning front page. Hey she has a fragrance, too. I'm curious as to whose scent is better now.

Young And Restless: The Soap of a New Generation

Let me start this post off by saying that I think Soaps.com has a great name for their website and I wish them a long and prosperous life on the Internet. If I had to decide which Soap Opera had the best name, I would pick The Young and the Restless. Basically the name encapsulates what viewers are looking for as far as escapist entertainment goes. They want to empathize with young vital people who have a lot of stuff going on in their lives.

Soaps.com has it all covered for Y&R fans with daily updates, news cast pictures, screenshots of key events on the show and more.

There is a community waiting for you at the Y&R Message Board if you are a guy who can bring it to a forum you a sorely wanted on this message board. I clicked a thread at random and the ladies are missing what must be the only regular guy on the forum. They lost him to football.

Britney Spears' Seafood Pasta Recipe

If you miss the classic stay tuned message with the interposed pictures of Britney and a tiger, you can get it at Archive.org. There are also lots of old pages of actual content. You can find the famous stream of consciousness essay or even this Spears family recipe for seafood pasta. Mmmmmm.

The recipe was in a Cook Book that assembled celebrity recipes. All the profits from the book went towards fighting Cancer. Britney's aunt had just been diagnosed prior to the Spears offering their support. She recently died as a result of her cancer.

Payday Cash Advance Loans

I suspect that at some point in his future career of commercial self-parody, Kevin Federline is going to try and profit from his perceived cash flow problems.

Unfortunately for him, you have to have a real job to qualify for Payday Cash Advance Loans. "I may not be a fry-cook, but I play one on TV" doesn't cut it, you need to show some pay stubs. You can relieve some of the pressure of debt using a payday cash advance loan.

SecureLoanConsolidation.com is an informative site in the areas of debt consolidation and Cash Advance options.

Stay Tuned?...

I have to go look at the official Britney Spears site every day, just in case there is some cryptic message inside that little antique frame thingy. I don't think every Britney Fan should have to do that. I promise that I will announce it here when this spectacular new website goes live. I also promise to take some kind of html tutorial so I can actually make a picture frame around my announcements.

Show Us Your Faith

Matthew 5:15 says "Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick."

That's the language of the 1600's. A more up to date wording might be "If you've got it, flaunt it." The IT being a faith in an almighty Christian God in Heaven.

The Rock Gifts hasCustom Christian Gifts available online. You can have your own message placed on one of their products or choose from a wide selection of ready made messages. Jesus Loves You might be one of the most enduring catch phrases in history. You can get a tasteful four foot long banner that tells passersby that Jesus loves them.

The site has a customizing tool. I tried it, it is pretty easy. If you have problems just get help from the younger generation.

Will People Buy Kevin Federline's Self-Parody?

Can Kevin Federline do self-parody?

I thought the self-parody that Vanilla Ice did was pure brilliance. Then I realized that it wasn't him, it was Jim Carey. It was still pretty good, but it was too easy.

Parody is easier than self-parody because once you get people laughing with parody, you are a success. With self-parody once the people start laughing it gets harder. It takes a really tough person to do self-parody. People like Mr. T and the Hoff have what it takes. Vanilla Ice guested on a Worst Of Special on MTV an reportedly lost it and damaged the set. He could not handle being made fun of. The quote my teenage son, "Sucks to be you."

I hope you guys appreciate what I do, I am now song tagged with Ice Ice Baby. AHHHH!!!

Drug Rehab That Works

A lot of drug rehab programs target their advertising to the family and loved ones of addicts. They stress how great their facility is, how qualified their staff is etc.

For an addict that needs help, the most important thing about a rehab program is whether or not it is going to work. Stone Hawk has a 76% success rate. That might sound low to a non addict. It is not low.

The success stories coming out of this place are great, but it shocking to see how young people are when they start down the road of addiction. And it shocking to see what drugs they choose.

When I was a kid I had a lot of freedom. I could pretty much go where I wanted and see who I wanted. Back then, my parents probably knew I would try marijuana, and they certainly knew I would experiment with alcohol. It might shock them now to know that I had the opportunity to try LSD (I abstained).

I live in fear that somebody will offer crack to my children at some point in their childhood. I have done all that I can do to educate them and instill them with some sense, but I know that I won't be there when it is time for them to make that decision. And that person who wants my kid to take a dangerous drug, is going to be front and center.

Stone Hawk has chosen to use the NARCONON program because of its effectiveness. They have a very intensive detox process that involves saunas. Removing and cleaning the build-up of drug metabolites in the tissues of the human body is an important step in getting well.

The psychological part of the process involves learning a lot of coping skills that many non addicts mistakenly think are instincts. There are a lot of life skills that many addicts simply have not yet learned. It takes time and practise to master these.

I have no problem promoting any treatment alternative that has some chance of success, because not getting help is not an option worth considering.

Britney Spears Sees her Shadow this Groundhog Day

Britney's manager, Larry Rudolph, reports that Britney is aware that she is casting a shadow that closely resembles that of Bill Murray, and that she has plans to change that. Bill Murray was not available for comment. This post is satire, that means it is not entirely true. Can you guess which parts I made up? Be on the lookout for more satire on April 1st.

More Free Stuff

This is a sponsored post.

Using online coupons effectively can be a great way to economize. Basically you should include online purchasing using coupon promotions as one of your options when you are comparison shopping.

Look at this offer for example KMart deals on Jewelry for the next few days. This is a very limited time offer. CouponChief has coupons from dozens of big name stores. Think about using them to save money on children's clothes, computers, even food. They are an awesome resource. But just like the old paper coupons...you are only saving money if you use them for things you would buy even without the coupons. I think my mom must have drilled me about that, it just came out of me.

Just So You Know...

The Pet Shop Boys still make music and perform live.

The paparazzi have never, to my knowledge, published pictured of their stuff.

The Pet Shop Boys do not, to my knowledge, have children.

Axl Rose is a big fan of The Pet Shop Boys, no word about his opinion of Britney's work.

There isn't that much point to this post. I find these guys interesting because I very purposefully ignored them in their heyday.

Free is Free

Free iPod is in danger of becoming a meaningless term because of its overuse in lame marketing schemes. These guys, iPodSweepstakes.com, however are actually giving away an iPod every single day.

I mostly listen to music when I go on errands with the car. It's an old car and it has a cassette deck. I bought one of those silly gizmos that has a cassette shaped thing you stick in the deck and then a line with an 1/8 inch output jack comes out of it so you can listen to your disc player or even your iPod. I don't have an iPod, and my kid never has hers loaded with any music I like.

I might try to Get a Free iPod from iPodSweepstakes.com Now! or even earn one by taking a surveys or requesting free information.

Pet Shop Boys Britney Spears in the Same Title

I'm not sure how I got out of sync with the news cycle, but by the time I saw the stories about a collaboration between Britney Spears and the Pet Shop Boys, the denials were already in print as well. I guess I haven't been keeping close tabs on the 80's pop icons since they became irrelevant. I'm talking about the Pet Shop Boys, not Britney Spears, if Britney Spears was irrelevant would I have a blog about her?

The Boys, who recently did some cool stuff with Madonna officially deny any association with Britney on their official site.

Vacation All I Ever Wanted

This is a sponsored post.

I can heartily endorse looking into Maine vacation rentals as a perfect family vacation idea even if it's just the two of you. I have not been to any of the rental homes featured on this particular site, but I did spend the first week of September back in 2005 at a vacation rental similar to the ones featured.

Here is a quick description of one of the homes featured...A farmhouse thatwas built around 1912 and has been lovingly restored sitting is on approximately 1 and 1/2 acres of shore front land with stairs to a private tidal beach. You are free to use the kayaks and canoes. There is a stream running through the back corner that borders one side of the lot. A portion of the property has been left uncut and there are beautiful wild flowers. Old landscaping from back when it was a family home include lilacs, poppies. peonies, honeysuckle, antique roses, rugosa roses and an assortment of herbs.

That reminds me, when we were staying a our vacation rental we happened upon a local fish seller and bought some of his catch. We were quite glad to find just the right herbs to go with the fish right in the garden. There were also wild blueberries nearby, I went out one morning while everyone else was asleep to pick blueberries to go with breakfast. It was dawn and there was a mist in the air. I heard an unfamiliar noise and looked up the beach to see two fox kits (pups) play fighting while their mother kept a watchful eye on them.

I'm not sure what the standard amenities for a vacation home are, but we were amazed with ours. There was a standard coffee maker AND a french press. There was a serious family sized microwave. There was a gas fireplace with a remote control. There was sugar and tea and coffee, and also herbal teas. There was a corkscrew. There were books, I read Picture of Darian Gray. There were beach toys. There was a clothes line. There was a barbeque. I could go on and on, basically we did not want for anything that week.

Stream of Unconsciousness

I think I fall into a trap of thinking that I know Britney Spears. The young woman has a public image that is partly orchestrated by a staff of people and partly the result of Britney's life decisions and random acts. When she uses the excuse that she is country to explain what is considered child endangerment by some people, part of me understands and sympathizes because I am country too. But then I realize that she started living in places like New York and LA before she even hit puberty. She is less county than me and I have the cognizance to keep in line with social norms in an suburban setting. The recent famous pictures, which by the way you will NEVER see on this site, I think too much of a big deal as made of them. Basically we have to assume that it was a display aimed at getting lots of attention. It worked. The best thing that morally outraged people can do is ignore it. I can only assume that some of them did. I saw a commment from a male somewhere that he was very disappointed. Did he think that Britney's genitalia would be somehow different than what regular nonfamous women have? I can't end this post on that topic, so I need to mention that Britney Spears is a musical performer. There is some chance that she will rise to the occasion with some good recorded material soon. I think the lack of product is partly intensifying the attention paid to her personal life.

An Encyclopedia Project

This is a sponsored post.

This encyclopedia is like a hybrid site of sorts. It has information on a variety of subjects ranging from Antique Furniture to Software but it essentially functions as a web directory. If you are looking for interesting snippets of ESL about stuff that people are trying to sell, it is a valuable resource. I found a page with the following recommendation: "With an immense experience of 100 years, the site caters outstanding service." I am a better person after reading that sentence. Unlike conventional encyclopedias, this one does not have articles in alphabetical order, they use a simpler organization of categorizing the articles based only on the first letter in their titles.

Update on Journalism Efforts

No response yet to my e-mail query. I ...SHUDDER... checked my spam folder. It used to be that the subjects in the spam folder ranged from amusing to shocking. Now they are almost uniformly gross. Stop it, ok? I did find one real email in there, which is depressing in a way because it means that I am going to have to glance in there every day now. Ewww.

Figurines And Gifts

This is a sponsored post.

Britney Spears is in a new relationship. I think she is probably well into the gift getting stage of this particular relationship. She didn't even make it that far with the last one. She has recently been observed wearing a Star of David pendant.

With Valentine's Day fast approaching Isaac Cohen is probably fretting over what to buy his new sweetheart. How about a Fairy tale figurine?



She could use this as a example of a conservative hemline.

------------------------------------------------------

Or maybe a sextant, she can use it to plot a new direction for her public image.


The Old Gift Shop has lots of quaint, tasteful figurines. Even though I mentioned them in relation to V Day, you really need to know a person before you deviate from the trifecta of flowers, chocolate and jewelry. For one thing these things are hard and heavy and some of them have sharp edges.

Attempt #2 at Real Journalism

There is only so far that I can take this thing without having actual credentials. I have drafted and sent an e-mail to the web development firm that may or may not be responsible for the present state of BritneySpears.com. It was very polite and unobtrusive. There is a 99.99999999% chance that it will be ignored. If I were given the task of managing incoming mail at that company, I would probably trash the one I sent. I put my actual first and last name at the bottom so it would look very business-like.

A New Way to Shop For Cars

This is a sponsored post.

AutoFigures.com is a new car shopping site that provides vehicle pricing, reviews and specifications on more than 50 brands of vehicles. I like the way the site looks, it is very web 2.0. And it has a simple layout, the links for the car brands are just left of center in one tidy table. Even if you are more of a hands on car shopper, this site could help you gauge the market.

You may save yourself time and money by using the Free Quote Request process. These days, Internet sales departments at car dealerships are staffed with highly-skilled, well-trained sales representatives who know how to communicate via the Internet. You can often get a new car quotes via email or over the phone. AutoFigures.com partners with top dealers that have a trusted reputation in the local marketplace. If you use this service, you can expect to be contacted by a dealer within a matter of hours.

Is Isaac Cohen in this for the Long Haul?

I was pretty harsh in a previous post about Isaac Cohen. The fact that he was an infatuated fan of the Britney Spears of a few years ago doesn't have to mean he can't be a stand up guy for her in the present. I would be worried that he is looking at her through rose colored glasses. Basically, I am wondering what happens when the star struckness wears off and real life is a little more stark and in his face.

I think if you are going to spend your life with a flawed person (which we all are), a pretty, wealthy flawed person is not the worst that you could do.

Who Sent That Text Message to K-Fed ?

This is a sponsored post.

I can imagine a celebrity must sometimes have a use for a Cellular Reverse Lookup. Finding out who called you can be very helpful sometimes. Most conventional reverse look up services don't work well with cellphone numbers.

A far as a personal experience, mine pre-dates caller ID. Well there was caller ID, I was just too cheap to get it. Anyway, my wife was getting these creepy phonecalls, usually when I was at work. One day I was home early and I picked up. When the idiot hung up I did the *69 thing or whatever it was, and got the number. It was a payphone. You would think that would be a problem, except I lived in the country where there only was one payphone. I drove the the convenience store where it was located. The owner said he hadn't observed anybody using the phone just then. The calls stopped. People will often stop bugging you if they know that you can find out who they are. So all you rude people take note that there is reverse cell phone look up now.

Are You A False Tabloid?

In my early morning search for Britney Spears news, I saw some poor journalism on display. There was news that her home is up for sale. Well, that was actually news back in November, and the recent story has whacky numbers too. The earlier report says that Britney sprang for a $130,000 recording studio for Kevin. The new story inflates the price tag all the way to £1.5million. At today's exchage rate that is $2.94 million. This is K-Fed, not Peter Gabriel, ok?

Jokeroo.com is a fun site where you can find funny videos. The top video on the front page today is Tiger Woods running down a guy who tried to steal his clubs. That sounds pretty funny. I know a really funny song called Tiger Woods, it is by Dan Bern and you can probably find it...somewhere.

Jokeroo also has an 80's picture of Van Halen in the sidebar. I think it is hilarious, I'm not sure if i am supposed to.

The 'Anti-Dr Phil' Exploits The Britney Phenomenon

I had never heard of this awful television show before. It is like the love child of the Dr Phil show and the Jerry Springer Show. Anyway, this video is about Party Moms who Refuse to Give Up Their Wild Ways. Now where did he get the idea for that show, I wonder?

I watched three clips, this show is very exploitative of messed up people who will take direction about how to talk about their own lives in order to get their faces on TV, oh and they probably get paid too (if they don't get paid, then it is even sadder).

Sports Arbitrage

This is a sponsored post.

Why do humans love to put a personal financial stake into a sporting event? For some sports fans, it might just involve placing an occasional single bet on their favorite team as a tangible show of support. Other people may be addicted to the minutia of sports trivia and are really betting on what they consider to be their own superior knowledge.

I can only imagine that the placing of bets has gone hand in hand with athletic events for as long as their have been athletic events.

Did you know that the modern insurance industry arose from what was at first essentially a form of betting? Lloyds of London had its start as a coffee house where rich men essentially had ongoing bets with each other over whether merchant ships would be successful in their journeys. The system became more and more refined and covered more and more possible calamities until it became a form of business.

Obviously, sports arbitrage is limited in its scope and will not become what the insurance industry is now. It is technically gambling. It's interesting to note that stock investments can sometimes be a higher risk than most arbitrage strategies. I guess that's why brokers have to be licensed and such.

Some people use a system to exploit the vast odds making system in such a way that they are making what they feel is more of a relatively low risk investment. The range of return on investment may be from 2% up to as much as 20%.

What are the risks? They include price changes midway through the arbitrage bet, bookmakers refusing to honour the wager, or even bookmakers being unable to remain solvent.

JuiceTrading.com is offering a FREE 1 Week Trial Period - You WILL believe!

They feature and example where you are placing a lot of money with two betting agencies and regardless of the outcome, you win between $10 and $18. That is basically what arbitrage is.

Really Poor Quality Video Of Britney WORKING

Yes, Britney was filmed doing her job...and she was caring for her children at the same time. The work consisted of going over some choreography with her dancers. The video is noisy, and shakey and filmed through a video, possibly while standing on somebody's shoulders.

I personally think that this woman can earn back some respect quite easily, it all comes down to avoiding the actions that get the bad press almost all of the time. I think there must be some kind of magic number of times per month that you can party without being heralded as an unfit mother by the tabloids. The trouble is that when your as famous as Britney, you get about three days of press for every time you go to a club.

Try A Little Tenderness

This is a sponsored post.

I'm sure it's not all tenderness, but when I tuned in to Wally's R and B online it was pretty sweet and laid back. I wish I could be rolling down an avenue in a big old boat of a car listening to this. This Rhythm and Blues radio is running smooth with my media player.

I am a musician and I always find it interesting that while some sounds go out of fashion while others have been repeated in popular music right up until today. For example, stars like Christina Aguilera owe a lot of their vocal hooks to golden era R'n'B. I think it's about time the harmonica made a comeback. I think Karaoke junkies should keep tuned in to this station for some potential crowd pleasers.

My Attempt at Actual Journalism

I made a phonecall to the media rep at Viget Labs, the people who were/are responsible for Britney Spears' web development. I wanted to ask them a few questions.

1. Is it still your baby?

2. How do you think things are shaping up?

3. Is she a hands on kind of client?

Really professional sounding stuff like that. I got his voicemail and then I hung up. I hate talking to voicemail.

I may try again or I may just email the dude.

Get Some Ink Done

This is a sponsored post.

I am doing a quick review for a site from whom you can order a printer cartridge, a toner cartridge or other stuff like that. The first thing I noticed is that they sell both original and compatible cartridges. I have always wondered what the differences really were, so I started checking it out everywhere online. Forums say stuff like that the cheap compatibles might smear on photo quality paper, that you will void your warranty if you use them, stuff like that. I have generally always had printers last until the end of the warranty. I don't try to make photo quality prints. So I am the type of customer who strongly considers going with compatibles.

How much cheaper are they? Compare this compatible to the original
so $2.46 compared to $11.42, something to consider for sure. I have been in a situation before where I had to use a compatible because the local store was out of stock of original.

As far as this particular site goes, it is great. It has a good search function. It has live chat support. It is a BizRate Gold Honoree which means that they provide satisfactory service and that they are proactively committed to monitoring their customer's satisfaction by allowing every customer to provide feedback to BizRate.com directly at the point-of-sale check-out.

Jive Records Vs Britney Spears

Officially, these two entities are very happy with each other. The rumors that Jive is bothered by Britney's personal life and work ethic and well, her music are abundant.

I just want to make one observation. In the blogosphere, people are starting to refer to reciprocal linking as LOVE, which I think is just wrong. Britney Spears' official site ranks first on google for the search Britney, while Jive records operates a site (with actual content) called Britney.com that stands at #2. There is no link love between these two sights. No LOVE.

Does Hoodia Really Work?

This is a sponsored post.

Is hoodia weight loss a viable strategy to get where you want to be with your body? The active ingredient that is harvested from a cactus-like desert plant was actually patented in 1996 as an appetite suppressant. Pfizer could not figure out how to effectively make a synthetic drug and have released the rights to the ingredient in 2002.

Caution should be taken by any dieter considering hoodia. High doses may have undesired effects on the liver. Another problem is that almost half of the hoodia products on the market DO NOT CONTAIN HOODIA. Natural Health Hoodia is certified by an independant lab to contain the active ingredient that is reported to suppress hunger.

I intuitively think that an appetite suppressant like Hoodia is a better decision than a stimulant. I would stick to the minimum effective dose and try to live a active lifestyle and have a healthy diet.

Britney Spears' Charity

"In April 2002, through the efforts of Britney Spears and The Britney Spears Foundation a grant of $1 million was made to the Twin Towers Fund to support the children of uniformed service heroes affected by the disaster of September 11th, 2001, including New York City Fire Department and its Emergency Medical Services Command, the New York City Police Department, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the New York State Office of court Administration and other government offices."

From The Mission Statement of The Britney Spears Foundation (Archived, June 12, 2004)

Even though you are asked to stay tuned when you arrive at present day BritneySpears.com, you can still search for and find PHP pages on her database. Here is her old letter to the fake tabloids

I may have further commentary on the charity later, I am registering to a charity watch database thing. All I know so far is that the press is WAY out of date.

Live Life Lemon Free

This is a sponsored post.

So to tie this in a bit I looked up what cars Britney has had. She's known for her Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren.

Let's check for those on the LemonFree Car Search... Here they are, the SLR is a sweet ride, and too expensive for me.

Maybe I'll settle for a Mazda Protege or a Honda Civic I have test driven each of these new and they are excellent quality and value. Used ones should still offer years of great driving pleasure.

Back in my wild days a friend of mine had a Ford Mustang I would be very careful checking out one of these. Some 20 year old guys are hard on gear.

The searchability of LemonFree.com is great and what is even better the site is totally free to use for buyers and sellers.

Kevin Federline Wants the Best For Britney Spears

I'm going to try and leave the joking aside for a bit as far as Kevin Federline is concerned. He is a father and until he goes out of his way to prove otherwise I am going to assume that he always has the best interests of his children in mind. I thing the best interests of his children are exactly what he had in mind when he reportedly begged his estranged wife to seek help for her addictive dysfunctional lifestyle. If Britney really messes up a judge might give custody to K-fed. I think it would be better if Britney straightened herself out.

Britney Should Move To Bulgaria

This is a sponsored post.


I am not making a joke. Many celebrities who have established themselves to the point where they are in demand without actively selling themselves opt out of the Hollywood scene as much as possible. Actor Crispin Glover has a castle near Prague. Shania Twain and her husband have a farm in Switzerland. Britney needs to get a place in the country, and out of the Country.

Besides escaping bad vibes and bad influences, people with big cash flows can in some cases reap the benefits of lower taxation. Bulgaria Property is a hot commodity for investment these days as well. The country is a recent entrant into the EU.

This Britney Story is a Bit Creepy

Isaac Cohen reportedly used to called his highschool girlfriend Britney. That sounds a bit obsessed. I have to wonder if he has made a series of life decisions with the express purpose of ending up exactly whewre he is right now.

Is the whole similar appearance to Kevin something he cultivated in an effort to be her type. Oh wait, he wsn't the guy they put in a box on the awrdd show was he, that would just be too weird. Anyway, I think despite her shortcomings, Britney must be able to recognize the difference between a boyfriend and an obsessed fan. Right?

Bushnell Binoculars have Many Uses

This is a sponsored post.

If have some seats for an upcoming sporting event and they are the proverbial nosebleed section, you might want to get yourself some of these awesome bushnell binoculars from Eagle Optics. bushnell are reknowned for the quality and the utility of their products.

I have used products from bushnell binocular for decades for watching baseball games and for looking at birds and wildlife. I am country. When I saw that people take binoculars hunting I remembered that I used to just look at whatever I wanted a close look at through my rifle scope. I always had an empty chamber when it wasn't pointed at game, but still, that wasn't very classy.

My mom would always take binoculars to the beach to look at birds. I remember that sometimes my dad would borrow them to look at lifeguards. He was just making sure that they were doing their jobs. I can only imagine what he was thinking when the young woman was doing push-ups, leaving the surf virtually unobserved.

You Want Some Fries WIth That Denigration?

Kevin Federeline will play a fast food counter staff person on an insurance commercial. A spokes person for the NRA ( National Restaurant Association ) has issued a statemnt. I think mostly he just wanted to leach some of the attention.

From the picture I saw, the ad's producers were careful to make K-feds uniform very generic, so he doesn't closely resemble any particular chain's worker's. That's kinda like how Kevin made sure the tracks on his album didn't particularly resemble..well music I guess.

PayDay Loans Bridge The Gap

Sometimes Payday cash Advance Loans can save your butt when there is some unforeseen gap in your revenue stream.

Here is something that is refreshing to see...PaydayCashAdvanceLoans.biz gives all their borrowers the choice to opt out of any promotional offerings provided on their website. I am all about opting out of stuff.

If Britney is Pregnant...Who is the Father?

TMZ has a list of odds for every potential sperm donor from Justin Timberlake to Larry Rudolph.

They also say that she is definitely not pregnant at the present time. They are doctors, trust them.

So do people actually take bets on paternity? That would not make any sense. People can go for years, even for their whole life not knowing who their biological father is.

Gavin Rossdale, Gwen Stefani's husband had a DNA teat that proved he was the father of model Daisy Lowe when she was 15.

Bitter:sweet, released their debut album, The Mating Game, on March 7, 2006. The album was both a critical and a commercial success.

Kiran Shahani and Shana Halligan are both awesome musicians. Kiran’s playful arrangements and Shana’s sultry, jazzy vocals appeal to fans of Portishead, Zero 7, Serge Gainsbourg, Everything But the Girl and Björk. I just did a web search so I could put that little two dot thing over the 'o' in Björk, now that is dedication.

Shana previously performed a duet, “Waiting Here” with Serj Tankian of Rage Against the Machine which was part of a recent Buckethead album. Buckethead does not have any funky punctuation or accents in their name and if they did, I would not go looking for them. I am not saying I don't like Buckethead I am just saying they disturb me a bit. Some people like to be disturbed.

Bitter:sweet have also have been featured in The Devil Wears Prada, Grey’s Anatomy, HBO’s Entourage, and upcoming film D.O.A.

I will not make a joke about Bitter:sweet getting their colon checked out while they were involved with Grey's Anatomy. That would be wrong...And lame.

The primary purpose of this post is to get the word out about the new video for “The Mating Game,” the album’s first single. The partially animated short includes cameos of both Kiran and Shana and was directed by Jason Cook.

You can go and Watch "The Mating Game" video at YouTube. Here is a picture of these two.

Britney Sex Tape: Credibility On Teh Internets

No, it is not here. I am not talking about the content or the existence of a sex tape that has Kevin Federline's pasty ass in it. I am using the example to talk about the telephone game that is celebrity news on the internet.

I just used this website as a source for an unrelated story and then I saw they had a search function so I thought I would see what was up with Britney. I got this undated dubious story about Britney talking out loud in public about how she was thinking about giving away the sex tape so Kevin would not be able to profit from it. I don't think that ever happened, if only because denial is a powerful and reflexive kind of thing. People don't stuff denying things of the cuff the way it is being described.

Of course, people can generally get in and out of cars without flashing their babymaker , so maybe I don't know what I am talking about.

HDTV Has Definitely Arrived

This is a sponsored post.

I think a lot of people who have so far put off getting a home theatre because they were waiting to see what was going to change with technology are realizing that things have gotten just about as good as they are ever going to get. Texas Instruments recently developed something called DLP technology. With Digital Light Processing, the image is created by microscopically small mirrors. The rapid repositioning of the mirrors allows variation in the intensity of the light reflected through the lens. Basically, you get a really good picture. Look at the example pictures on the page for the HDTV DLP 1080p 56' HL-S5687W Samsung and see for yourself.

These HDTV Screens are becoming more affordable as well. Bestgiftshopper.com features many of the biggest and best Brand Name HDTV's, including this huge Mitsubishi.

Back when Big Screen was the be all and end all before anyone was even imagining HDTV, I knew a guy who lived in a mobile home that had to have carpenters come and remove the sheathing and part of the frame of his home so he could get the TV that he had bought inside. I can only assume that when he moved a few year later he had to repeat the process. I would suggest that you measure your doors and hallways and such before you go out and buy any huge electronics.

Britney Toys With the Media

Britney Spears volunteered the information that her most recent relationship was over on Thursday and then spent Friday night in the company of that self same relationship partner. That might have been mildly entertaining to Britney and others who may have been in on it, but trying to mess with the paparazzi doesn't help things generally. If you genuinely don't like them your best recourse is to be very boring until it just isn't cost effective to follow you around.

I'd give some examples of celebrities who have been successful at this method, but I can't remember any of them.

Sometimes Life is a Soap Opera

This is a sponsored post.

Here is something that sounds absolutely ingenius, Soap Opera characters with MySpace profiles. That could really take off as a fun trend. And I read about it first on Soaps.com. The website is still in it's infancy, but it is already loaded with content. It has indepth daily updates on all the major shows. It has loads of current soap relates news. The forums are thriving.

I am actually a seasonal soap watcher. I prefer to watch a show for a few weeks in the summer when they have the crazy story lines. Back in the 90's it was aliens. I spent a month or two having a siesta during the soaps. I didn't realize that I was watching the beginning of one soap opera and the end of another one because I slept through the credits of the first one and the opening of the second one. I was very confused. If I had been motivated I could have straightened myself out with a site like Soaps.com

What is the Truth about Britney and Paris?

Two weeks of inseperable partying have given way to high profile uninvitations (is that a word?). I think the biggest factor is Britneys waning popularity and plummeting respectability. Paris was trying to have a symbiotic relationship. She probably educated Britney about the value of turning every waking moment into a paid appearance. If the people footing the bill to have Paris darken their door had been happy to pay for Britney's presence, the friendship might have continued.

Live Poker Online

This is a sponsored post.


This past Christmas, several of my previously stone-aged relatives got computers and they are now online. My mother has been asking me about online Scrabble. I can only assume that when I talk to my brother next he is going to ask me all about online poker. I may tell him about PokerDIY - A free service to find LIVE poker games. He caught the poker craze about three years ago, he is a very competitve guy by nature. I think he would probably enjoy the action of a live online poker game

With the recent introduction of an online gambling law, more and more players are looking for live poker games. PokerDIY is one of the largest poker communities and it has a very popular forum. The PokerDIY Freeroll for members takes place once every two weeks, with real prize money and a place on the PokerDIY League scoreboard.

Is Pharrell Still On Board ?

One of Pharrell's first world-wide #1 hits as a co-producer came with Britney Spears' single, "I'm A Slave 4 U". There are reports that he has been stood up by Britney twice in recent days ( as a producer, not personally ).

I think the potential for success, both critical and popular, probably far outweighs the inconvenience of a less than functional client. Gwen Stefani is the most recent high profile success that Parrell is attached to. Her stuff is bananas.

Consider a Home Equity Loan

This is a sponsored post.

A Home Equity Loan can be used as a debt consolidation tool. Home Equity Loans are especially advantageous if you have equity in a home located in an area where property is appreciating quickly. PersonalHomeLoanMortgages.com provides borrowers with information and resources related to loans. They have a lot of useful tools on their site, for example you can get real-time national and local mortgage rates.

Kevin Federline and Justin Timberlake Meet Up?

You know that Britney has cut back on the partying when the tabloids resort to a play by play of where Kevin Federline spent his weekend. My headline is just second hand sensationalism, there was no meeting of the minds. K-Fed attended a Justin Timberlake concert at the MGM Grand and as far as anyone knows they spend the rest of their Vegas Weekend in seperate locations. Kevin and Justin were both well behaved and normal. There were slot machines and nightclubs involved.

Britney Spears is back in California after having spent some time in Vegas earlier this month.

Shop Around For Phones in One Spot

This is a sponsored post.

I am checking out a site where you can compare Verizon cell phone deals with several other carriers including some pre-paid services.

I'm going to come back to talking about the phones, but first I want to mention that the WireFly site has a really good rating on BizRate. I also want to mention that when you see a certification like BizRate or BBB on a site, check it. I spend my mornings managing RSS feeds for a site and I have to try and screen out all the scams. Lots of people have legitimate looking sites with honors and certifications and if you were to check you would find that they are no longer registered to the programs.

WireFly is a good site. It is actually the Internet's #1 Store for Verizon Wireless Phones and Plans. They have plans where you get a free phone. They have plans where you get a free phone and $50 cash back. They have plans where you mail in for a rebate equal to the price of the phone.

Britney Spears Breaks Up With Latest Guy

I haven't even had a chance to get to know the male model that everybody was accusing of resembling K-Fed. And now he is gone from Britney's life. A source says that Britney volunteered the info to the pack of photographers that follow her around.

The first time that Isaac Cohen was seen socializing with Britney was on January 2nd, so this is less than three weeks.

Is Britney Spears Pregnant Again?...WHAAAWWTTT???

This is a sponsored post.

Britney Spears has been named as a bad role model for young girls. I wonder if these days her name comes up during sessions of Pregnancy Counseling as an example of how NOT to behave.

Rumors of a third pregnancy are actually being fueled by witnesses saying that she stopped drinking alcohol. That is a good thing. But the late nights are not such a good idea. Pregnant women need to take steps to minimize stress.

The link in the first paragraph is from a new encyclopedia that is sponsoring the post. They also gave me this anchor text "You pick the article and insert the title HERE" I have to include it. It goes to the alphabetized list of articles about stuff.

What Are Britney's Web Developers Up To?

The company that is working on BritneySpears.com, which I assume means they are waiting on some direction from their client, is still proud of their connection with the star.

If you want to see a content filled site from their portfolio, go to KennyChesney.com. He is a man who knows what he wants...as far as web development anyway. He spent 2006 on a record breaking tour with two other not-gays, Brooks and Dunn. Get down, turn around, go to town...an imperative trifecta for the ages.

Is This a Joke?

This is a sponsored post.

The car in the above picture is the Inphonic Jaguar. Yes those are Post-it notes. 14,000 magenta, lime-green, neon-yellow, purple and electric-blue Post-its to be exact.

It took Walt's high-spirited coworkers two hours to do it. Walt parks his car in a secluded corner of the garage (it is special). He may park it outside where he can keep an eye on it from now on.

I think as far as pranks go, this is a pretty innocuous one. I was the victim of a prank once where my coworkers placed my bicycle on the hook of a crane and raised it to the roof out of reach before hiding the remote for the crane. Fun times.

Britney's New Site is in the Works

The front page of BritneySpears.com is a dorky graphic of an antique picture frame with a Stay Tuned message.

Every now and then her PR department writes a personal message to put there in place of the Stay Tuned message. If it's one of those weeks where Britney is the Britney PR department you get the real deal. Typos, underwear jokes, cryptic quotes, patois, the lot. This means bloggers like me and people in the entertainment media have to check there now and then.

She has a page rank of 6/10. There are celebrities who have made their websites into their life's work who only have a 5/10. Britney should do something with her site.

Happy Birthday to Somebody

This is a sponsored post.

I have a aunt who routinely sends me an ecard on my birthday and at Christmas. I really appreciate and enjoy them. I'm thinking of starting this practice too, because some members of my immediate family are FINALLY getting online. They were like the last hold-outs on the entire continent of North America. My parents still don't have a computer, but my closest sibling does now and I suppose I could send a card there and he could invite Mom and Dad down to look at their card.

Besides a selection of free ecards, you can sign up for as little as $13.99 and enjoy features like the ability to schedule delivery. You could sit down and pick out birthday cards for everybody all at once and be done with it. On holidays, you have the ability to mass mail one card to everybody on your list. If you got a 30 day free trial today you could have Valentines Day all taken care of.

Britney is Dropped from a SuperBowl Commercial

The NFL network will be airing an advertisement featuring several celebrities. They have reportedly retracted the invitation that had been extended to Britney Spears. Paris Hilton has been asked to fill the vacant spot on the commercial. Britney still has ongoing endorsemant deals, so her babies won't starve.

I heard that Kevin Federline is doing the self parody thing on a SuperBowl commercial. Actually, he may not know that his bit is for lulz, he seems to genuinely think of himself as cool.

In a related story a friend of Paris has asserted that Britney Spears and Paris Hilton are no longer friends.

Will Jive Records Drop Britney Spears?

There have been rumors and speculation about Britney's record company being vocally displeased with both her personal behavior and the work product that she is creating. I have doubts about the accuracy of such reports. The craft of making saleable pop music is not mysterious anymore. If production skills and technology can make Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan albums that are listenable, there is no way that even a somewhat tired and messed up Britney Spears can't churn one out. I guess it is possible that the potential profit margin has gotten painfully thin because Britney has alienated some potential CD buyers.

The Best Video Game Ever

It must be the best video game ever, it says so right on this archived page of BritneySpears.com.
I don't have the time to look around for an emulator for PC of this classic, and for some reason I suspect that nobody ever made one. My kid has a PS2, but no dance pads :(

The Big Letter is Gone From Britney's Website

The 300 word essay that was greeting visitors to BritneySpears.com is gone. It has been replaced by another under construction type of message. I mentioned on another blog that the big letter did not contain a single mention of Britney's children. I have to wonder whether Britney had even written the letter. Which is probably a good thing. Look what happens when Lindsay Lohan expresses herself in text.

I think it is safe to assume that there will be content on the front page of BritneySpears.org when Britney has new product to sell and not anytime before that with the exception of maybe a few more of these letters.

Britney Spears Dating Some Federlike Guy

Now that a major Britney Spears fansite is closing up shop, I'm going to dust this blog off and run with it. I just feel like Britney is about as low as she can go and her star will inevitably rise. She can't be re-virginated, but maybe she can be rejuvenated.

But, what is this about her dating a model that looks like Kevin Federline? When you are at your lowest, girl, lateral moves aren't the way to go. Please, please, please straighten up and fly right, if only so my wife will stop dong that table slapping "WHAWT???" impression. We have a glass table top and I'm worried that she might hurt herself.

Did Britney Spears Vomit On Her Date ?

This is one of those stories that I tend to doubt. It's not that I don't think Britney is messed up enough to drink to the point where she has to puke. I just think that most grown men have developed the instincts and reflexes to get out of the way.

I just have to add that I sincerely hope that any nausea that Britney is having in NOT related to pregnancy.

This is Why I Don't Believe In Astrology...

I stumbled upon a site that features the astrological charts of celebrities based on where and when they were born. Each page also has an in depth interpretation. Of course, these interpretations are totally influenced by what we know about a celebrity's life through the media.

The current page for Britney seems to be very accurate. I got the brilliant idea to go to the way back machine and look at her chart from a few years ago. It would seem that the intrinsic nature of Britney Spears as determined by when and where she was born has changed a lot in the last few years. Funny, I don't think her birth date or her birth place has changed.

I will update this with links and quotes at a later date.

Who is the New Man in Britney's Life?

The creators of Wikipedia have warned against citing their site as a source of accurate information. I am too lazy to do research, so here is a link to the entry for Jonathan Rotem. It has been flagged as requiring cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. Sort of like how Britney requires cleanup to meet community standards. Maybe Mr. Rotem can take care of both problems. He is reportedly a clean AND sober person.

Is anyone else looking at the basic facts about this guy and drawing a parallel with Christina Aguilera's man? Maybe Britney is on the verge of growing up. It's noe too soon for the 24 year old woman either.

I Want to be Britney's Publicist

I think I can stop this crazy thing. The media circus, I mean...Britney Spears is not now, nor has she ever been a crazy thing. See, I would be great at this.

Seriously Britney, I have stuck with crappy dead end jobs for like ten years. I would not quit when the going got tough like your last publicist, or the one before that (oh, I guess she got fired).

Britney Should Sell a CD of Her Burping, it would go GOLD

Britney Spears appeared in the number one celebrity viral video this year.

A clip of Spears belching and talking incoherently about time travel was viewed over 3 million times to take top spot according to ViralVideoChart.com. I think a Christmas album featuring Britney burping out classics like Jingle Bells and Silent Night would be a great stocking stuffer.

Live TV footage of Kevin Federline apparently getting a text message informing him the pop singer had filed for divorce was second with nearly 2 million hits. Many of the websites and blogs featuring this video used an imaginary text message for thier title. Some were funny and some were really lame. I'm guessing that the actual message was really lame.

Arty Toxic Remix

There was this artist who lived nextdoor to my grandmother. The artist ended up in the hospital for awhile because she got intoxicated by the paint fumes. This video reminded me of that for some strange reason.

Hey, remember when Britney Spears was all Kabbalah, Kabbalah, Kabbalah, and then she had a brief stint of Hindu? Maybe when she clues in to how her recent behavior is affecting her reputation she should latch on to yet another religion. Maybe she could even get back to her Baptist roots. The artist who succumbed to paint fumes was a Buddist.

Another Celebrity Catfight

David Crosby is dishing out the dirt to Salon. He is no fan of Britney Spears. He asks:

Has Britney Spears ever given a benefit concert?

Personally, I think the gloves came off when he saw enough footage of Britney out drinking to conclude that she wasn't a viable source for his next liver transplant.

Britney Spears has made large contributions to charity. Here is an example, there are more.

Judge Lisa Hart Cole's Prophecy

This is from only one short month ago:

Superior Court Judge Lisa Hart Cole said Britney Spears has “put her modern sexuality squarely, and profitably, before the public eye” and it would be unlikely for the magazine article to be found defamatory.

These words still ring true except for the squarely part...it's more of a triangle shape.

Message at Britney's Website

BritneySpears.com isn't an empty page anymore. She now has a slightly more longwinded and less lacey message than the one pictured above. Since she says Happy Holidays at the bottom, you can expect new content around the same time the last strand of Christmas lights gets taken down in the trailer park. That's sometime in April, I believe. My concise message will be taken down the second somebody from Britney Spears Productions asks me to to take it down.

Britney Spears Website Critique

The front page of BritneySpears.com has had a Stay tuned new website is in the works...message for several months. There are links at the footer that take you to a page selling you on the exclusive content that comes with a paid fanclub membership. This is bad business. It is transparent to me that the reason for having absolutely no free content is to imbue some value on whatever the paid members get. I would really be interested to hear from anybody who pays for what is promised:

Access to the exclusive fan club web site full of the latest news updates, photo galleries, contests, message boards, multimedia, and much more.

Britney Spears Web Search Spike

I have been watching my stats very closely. It's a sad comment on human nature that as soon as Britney pulls her skirt back down, the traffic goes back down too. Lance Bass actually had a more pronounced spike in interest when he came out, of course that involved a starting point of virtually zero.

Britney Buys Bushels of Undies

It all makes sense now. The repeated publication of Britney's pubic area was starting to make me question her virtue. It turns out that she had simply run out of undies. This doesn't quite explain why she has been out on the town nearly every night. You can buy underwear online. Maybe Britney avoids the internet because she's afraid she will find out that the reason she ran out of panties is because Kevin accidentally packed them when he was leaving and that he is trying to sell them on eBay. Pictured below is the big white dot that Perez likes to put over Britney's stuff:

Britney Spears to Sell House

Real Estate is HOT in Southern California. The $6.9 million house that Britney bought back in 2004 is reportedly going to list for $13.5 million. It is being said that the deal will liquidate about $5 million to be split up according to the prenup agreement rumored to be 80% for Britney and 20% for Kevin. The phrase 'time is money' is no doubt being said repeatedly in Brit's presence. During the two years these lovebirds lived in the house, it has been appreciating at about 8,000 a day. That is crazy. So if the house is still going up in value at that rate, it's like every day it isn't sold Britney has to give Kevin another $1,600. That is crazy sounding to me, but Kevin's lifestyle and budding career eat up way more bread than that.

The Britney Sex Tape Story Without Numbers

I will not put any dollar values in this post because of crazy variation in the media today. Here's the story... Britney Spears is worth a WHOLE LOTTA MONEY. Kevin Federline is worth NUTTIN'. Now that they have split up, Kevin wants a WHOLE LOTTA MONEY from Britney. Before they got married, Britney got Kevin to sign a pre-nup that means Kevin will get SOME MONEY but not a WHOLE LOTTA MONEY.

Kevin is a big fat doo-doo head. He is reportedly saying that he will sell a home made sex tape starring Britney Spears and featuring Kevin Federline as a dumb ass with a penis for a WHOLE LOTTA MONEY, unless she pays him a WHOLE LOTTA MONEY.

I think that threatening to put hardcore footage of your babies' momma on the net is not a good way of looking out for the welfare of your children.

Parents Groups Are Upset That Britney Spears Makes Her Baby Wear ORANGE Hats

Once it became clear to Sean Preston that he was being taken out in public wearing a decidedly uncool hat, he lurched into action and freed himself from the fashion faux pas, tout de suite.

Britney Isn't Into Kabbalah Anymore

The spin coming from the Britney camp is that she is giving up Kabbalah to focus on her baby. Sources are saying that Kabbalah leaders were too pushy with her about donations. It was fashionable for Britney to be in the bracelet wearing mysticism, but she didn't want to make a huge commitment. She has to help support her husband until his music career takes off.

I think that promoting your religion as a celebrity trend isn't the best way to prosper long term; fashions change. Scientology has a better business model. The whole behavioral modification/ ego stroking dicotomy. If there was any actual truth to the tenates of Scientology, it would be unstoppable, but at it's core it is basically nuts.

Oops, I did it Again...

I got the focus of last week's Britney news totally wrong. Everyone else was talking about Britney almost falling down with Sean in her arms. And I didn't even use the word 'oops' in my story.

I will try to redeem myself. Salon reports that immediately after her stumble with a drink glass in one hand and a baby in the other, Britney exclaimed "This is why I need a gun."

Given the fact that she had her beverage in one hand and her spawn in the other, maybe it should have been "This is why I need a gun, and a third arm."

Britney Spears' Son was Dropped on his Head April 1st

Here are the facts about the accident that happened to Britney's baby:

Sean Preston fell April 1 as his nanny was lifting him from the high chair and something in the chair snapped.

He was examined by a doctor at home.

Britney and Kevin took him to the emergency six days later.

ER staff reported the incident to Child Welfare Authorities because that's what they are supposed to do with this type of incident.

Child welfare officials and a sheriff's deputy visited Britney Spears' home.

What did the personal physician advise the parents to do on the day of the accident? If the doctor concluded that the injury wasn't serious, why did the Federlines show up in the ER? Is the injury serious? Will kids in Sean's junior high school find this item in some archive and make jokes about it? These are serious questions.

Monument to Pro-Life: The Birth of Sean Preston is Performance Art

The smooth, half-heartedly realistic sculpture with the tacky bear rug and the generic naked female form is a prop. It is not the work of art. The act of naming it after a popular and controversial celebrity and an absolutely polarizing social issue is the art. It would not be a stretch to say that the predictable media onslaught and public outcry is the artists work as well, think of a painter who throws paint at the canvas; the action of the paint is out of his hands, but it is still his work, he has determined where and how it should land.

I think it will be interesting in the sexually prudish USA to see what euphemisms are used in describing the particulars of the sculpture. The news page I link to calls her genitals 'the opposite end'.
