Michael Jackson Dies At Age 50.


The "King of Pop" passed away today at around 2pm of cardiac arrest at the UCLA Hospital in Los Angeles.

Michael Jackson was not only the voice of pop, he set the record for most Grammy Awards with his Thriller album picking up 89 trophies!

His comeback tour set to hit London this summer is obviously cancelled and many diehard fans are devastated from the news. Radios have already been taking Jackson song requests and the headlines of most papers and news outlets will be about him starting tonight.

At this point, there is no news on what will happen to his 3 children nor do we know what will happen in regards to Mr. Jackson's debt left behind.

It's a sad moment in history; take a moment to remember the great man Mr. Jackson was and what he did for the industry and music lovers alike.

There's A New Mag In Town.

Go Wild! African Lion Safari!


So, I went to the African Lion Safari yesterday, and might I say, it was quite fun!

I haven't been in a long while and going back brought memories of me growing up going there every year or so. I saw all the animals the safari is famous for plus many new ones like endangered deer from Afghanistan! This year the cheetahs were on display as free-range animals and not in cages. How and why the safari chose to do this, I don't know; it was pretty damn cool though!

Beating the 36 degree weather, I trekked through the park with water-bottle in hand and extras in my backpack. I made time for the Elephant show, Birds of Paradise show, and scenic train ride. If only I had more time, I'd watch the Birds of Prey show and go on the boat tour. The Birds of Paradise show featured many new animals including a toucan, peacock, and emu.

Finishing off the day I walked into the gift shop and bought a few small things for people at home. All in all, it was a great day! I put on sunscreen and I still tanned a lot! I've got the flip-flop lines to prove it!

Adult tickets were $24.95, and for a day full of safari fun it was more than worth it!

SAVINGS NOTE! If you show your CAA membership card you can get a discount! It isn't anything insane but every dollar counts!

Spring Shoe Sale!

Spring is having a shoe sale!

Their Heartland location in Mississauga, located near Mavis and Britannia, has the best deals by far! You get 50% off the lowest ticketed price! So, in other words, I got a pair of dark chocolate loafers for $25! Originally sold for $98, they were marked down to $50, and then I got an additional 50% off!

Sweet!!!


The men's shoe collection is extensive, but I'll be honest, a lot of the styles are crap. If you find a good pair, buy it! They'll even ship it to your house for FREE if they don't have your size! Now, how's that for an incentive?

Women have it better. Your section certainly has wearable styles and some shoes are an astounding $10 after all discounts!

Happy Father's Day!


Today was Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's out there!

Today, I decided to break away from ties, shirts, gift certificates, tools, and the "typical presents". I went out and got the nicest pen set I could afford. Burgundy with silver accents, this has got to be something my Dad will use! He always asks me for my pens when he's going to a conference so I decided, I might as well get him one of his own!

Needless to say, he liked it. A good card with sincere thoughts also made it much more than a gift.

What did you end up getting your Dad this year? Was is conventional? Was is weird? Let me know!

Ben Stiller At His Best.


"3% Body Fat. 1% Brain Activity."

Take a moment and drop by your video store or get it at Wal-Mart for $5. (Really, I checked, it's only $5.00!)

'Zoolander' has got to be one of the funniest movies out there! Everybody's seen it and if you haven't you're missing out!

Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson play two competitive male models in the ever-changing world that is, the fashion industry. Hilarious, memorable, quotable, funny, and a staple item in your movie diet, 'Zoolander' is a must!

Get up, rent it or buy it, call up a friend or two, and get ready for a good laugh. Let's remember Ben Stiller at his best!

Music Biz's New Kid!

Biotherm Homme Shaving Foam.

The Biotherm Homme Collection offers a wide variety of men's skincare products to suit every man's needs.

Today, I've got to rave about their shaving foam! By far this has got to be the best shaving foam I have ever, ever used! It's subtle enough for all skin-types, even for sensitive skin.

Around $20 a can, it certainly has a hefty price-tag in the shaving foam category. However, I've always said this and I'll say it again: Usually, better products require less and provide superior results if not better results than the cheaper alternative.

Biotherm Homme Skincare products are available at Shoppers Drug Mart and other select skincare retailers.

BRUNO!


Sacha Baron Cohen is back! This time as an Austrian fashion icon!

Famous for his role in Borat, the new character of Bruno is sure to please. There's already a buzz and even GQ took notice, featuring the clad Cohen on the cover of their latest issue.

Within the magazine there are hilarious answers given by 'Bruno' about several fashion dilemma's. Magazines are on stands now.

One of my friends called Mr. Cohen "The modern comedian of our times.". I'm sure he's going to push the envelope further and receive twice the laughter. He takes chances and he gets a positive response. People like his confidence and versatility. First it was Ali G., then Borat, and now Bruno. I can only imagine what's next!

Bruno hits theatres on July 10th 2009.

Fat People Can't Wear Stupid Shirts... Or Tank-tops.


Stupid shirts are a definite hit with tech geeks, loners, and unmarried men over the age of 35.

Before I go on I'll let you know what I mean by a "stupid shirt". It's pretty much what it sounds like, a shirt with a stupid image or phrase on it. For example, a shirt that says, "I don't have a big brain but I am big down there." accompanied by a large arrow pointing to the crotch area. An even better example is a shirt with: "I AM A VIRGIN." in large block letters. What the hell are the people sporting these thinking???! Let's not forget those Joe's you see buying RedBull at the 7-Eleven showcasing their unlaundered and decolourized Dragon Ball Z t-shirts. Listen up, you look stupid. Take that shit off and buy a polo.

Now, when it comes to fat people; specifically those of us who are under 5'5" and have a waist size of 38", I think it's safe to say you are asking for it when you prance around in a "Fat People Are Harder To Kidnap." t-shirt. I don't know, that's just me. Maybe you feel comfortable hearing snickers about your shirt that clearly refers to YOU and your bodyweight.

Apart from being completely tacky and flagging you as a total retard, stupid shirts have nothing going for them. So why do people continue to wear them? They have no idea of how to express themselves without something being there to start a conversation. Simple as that.

FATTIES & TANK-TOPS:
Now, tank-tops and fat people. Two things that should NEVER, NEVER go together! It's like a black figure skater! What??! No. Just no. I mean, I haven't seen it yet. We'll get there soon Obama!

The fact that your ripples and rolls will push through the tank top is one thing. What about all that unkept, beastly chest hair that seems to flow over the neckline like crawling vines up a castle wall? Yeah. Nasty. Since you're incapable of shaving or waxing, cover it up!


Lesson Learned:

Fat people with no style need help. So, if you see someone, then, help them! Fit is key and people who don't know what fits and what doesn't usually resort to the shittiest crap in the store.
