First Female Argentine President

CNN.com has reported that Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has been the first female to be elected as President of Argentina.

From the looks of things if politics and her failed to be a good match,  she would have been able to find some good paying and steady work of some form in the porn industry.  El Presidente elect de es muy caliente.

Me…owwww…..

On a complete but rather interest sidenote, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner makes United States First Lady Laura Bush look like the walking dead from a zombie movie.

Maybe Laura Bush will get cast in Saw V.  We can only hope.

Coolness!!!

While wandering through the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens a couple of weekends ago I ran across a friend that I made last year….This crane!!!

I’ve only seen it in the gardens during the autumn months, and he surprised me this particular day by swooping into my line of sight as he came in for a landing near the pond.

Thankfully he was walking in the perfect angle for a couple of shots that evening, and then the next morning I spotted him scooping fish out of the coy pond – little fish, not big coy.

Total coolness!!!

 P.S.  I realize that this isn’t a bee photo, but I’m not willing to give up on the tag, nor do I wish to create one that says Coolness!!!

Free Car Giveaway

Good news, there’s a free car giveaway from General Motors via their upcoming campaign called “Project Driveway“.

Technically it’s an SUV, but it’s still free and from GM.

According to an article on CNN.com ”a few families in the Los Angeles, New York City and Washington D.C. area will get to spend three months with a hydrogen-powered SUV”.

I was so excited about this opportunity that I tried out for the program, but after a brief survey found out that I’m not eligible – most likely because I don’t own or lease a car, nor do I have a family.

Anyway, just thought I’d pass along the opportunity to all of you who wish to drive a new car, based on all the good words that I’ve heard on their now desecrated EV1 vehicle I’d be willing to bet that this new hydrogen powered vehicle is definitely something worth driving.

Vacancy, the Movie

As I mentioned yesterday I rented the movie Vacancy this past weekend.  I was really looking forward to seeing it when it came out in the theatres, and then I just never got around to it, so the renting it came in handy.

I decided to watch it in the pitch dark, which is something that I never do when watching movies at my place, and oh boy, was I frightened, and I’m dead serious. 

To be fair, I don’t watch horror movies often because I tend to get scared very easily by them, and so while the average horror fan might have thought that Vacancy was stealing their life away from them, I found it to be enthralling, and was on the edge of my seat ready to shit my pants scared. 

Sure the first 20 minutes started of slow to the point that I wanted to pull an Elvis and shoot the television, but then the creepy Rick Moranistype of guy shows up working at the hotel, and I got an hour worth of fright.

Basically the plot of the movie is that two city folk are lost in the back country, their car breaks down, and people are trying to murder them on film inside of a creepy hotel, which just so happens to be one of my biggest fears when leaving the city, and the biggest reason why I chose to avoid many places in this country. 

I’m a city boy, and being out in the middle of nowhere kind of freaks me out, and it indeed scares me.  For me it is the fact that in the middle of nowhere if I were to be attacked nobody would hear my death screams, but at least in the city people would be more likely to hear them.  Not to say that I would be safer in the city or the middle of nowhere, but the thought of just “disappearing” on a road trip never to be found again bugs the crap out of my fear factor.

So basically yeah, I have to give Vacancy a five out of five scary stars, especially since I had nightmares for the next three straight nights.  Once again, I am all too serious on this part.

Magical Levitation

I’ve always been amazed by magicians and their tricks.  I know that it’s not really “magic”, and that it is all one way or another smoke and mirrors, but it is still none the less amazing to see these magicial tricks with the naked eye.

One magician and trick that I’ve always been enamored with is David Blaine’s levitation trick.

The basic idea is to stand in front of a small crowd and then magically levitate or “float” into the air.

Well, I’m proud to announce that I learned how to do this magic trick, and last night I tried it out for the first time in from of anyone – and it worked!

Cheese was sitting on my couch when I informed her that I would like to perform some magic, to which she laughed at thinking that I was joking, and then I stood up in the middle of the living room, and well….I floated before her eyes, using magic of course. 

I had no idea if it was working or not, but when I heard her take a gasping breath of horror and say “Oh my God!” in a freaked out way I knew that it worked. 

I turned and saw the look of horror on her face from having seen the fact that I can float, and well, it was friggin’ awesome! 

Next stop for me is Times Square, an ABC two hour Special, and a $30 million paycheck.
