Paul and Frank - Not Gay

This video is from The BS Squad. It's about 2 supposed heterosexual guys- good buddies- who are so self-conscious and paranoid about being labelled "gay"that they have to go into hyperdrive in an attempt to prove to everyone- even to themselves- that they're not gay. This video is hilarious- check it out.

A Cool Vintage Video - La Danse des Mots by Jean Bapstiste Mondino

Back in the early 80's, I recorded a video on a show on USA Cable, called "Night Flight". I got this video called "La Danse des Mots" by Jean Baptiste Mondino. I liked this video for several reasons- nice music, it's in French, it's funky, it's cool, it has really nice colors, some good dancing and clowning around, and some rapping with attitude. It's kind of a long video here (from You Tube)- I think that this is even a longer version of the video than I have on my VHS somewhere- but, still, you will enjoy watching it.

Want To Help America's Energy Crisis? Join PickensPlan.com

A lot of people sit around and complain about the high cost of oil and gasoline- and soon they'll be complaining about the high cost of electricity and everything else. A lot of people feel helpless and think that there is nothing that we can do to about it. What are you willing to do?

The current president of the U.S. and his Administration holds a steadfast position that global warming is overexaggerated, and will not force the auto companies to make any drastic changes in their fuel efficiency or emissions. Think about it: giving them 12 years or 20 years or more to make changes? It's funny to me that our legislators in Congress compromise so much on things that, if what the overwhelming majority of experts says is true, the few laws that have passed recently won't mean squat in terms of halting global warming, and they certainly won't stop the current outflux of American money into the hands of oil-producing foreigners, who, by the way, probably have a better chance of having dinner and being on a first-name basis with George Bush than you ever will.

So what can an average American do now? I suggest that you check out the website, PickensPlan.com, a new website put up by veteran oil billionaire, businessman and entrepreneur T. Boone Pickens. Mr. Pickens makes a great case for why America is in this crisis with oil, and demonstates lots of practical suggestions as to how we can halt it.

Think about it for a minute: the U.S. oil companies make money on the oil reserves that they hold. They make money from refining both domestic AND foreign oil. Therefore, they make money from oil no matter what. Some people who own lots of shares of oil companies (like George Bush) don't want to do anything to mess with the oil profits- not even invest in newer, cleaner technologies. Or, in the case of what T. Boone Pickens shows on his website, in older, cleaner technologies.

If done on a larger scale, wind power and solar power, along with battery technology, could actually wipe out the use of oil in the future. It's going to take more billionaires like T. Boone Pickens who see what time it is to actually make things happen. Consumers like you and me can do something, too. Check out PickensPlan.com to find out what you can do.

Trying to eat healthier. Got any ideas? I'm Cooking Quaker Oats

I'm about to have breakfast (a late breakfast at 11AM), but I decided that I needed to eat something with more fiber. The first thing that came to mind was oatmeal, so after I dropped off Jaime at his job, I went to Ralphs supermarket on Venice in Los Angeles, and bought a big tin of Quaker Oatmeal. Lately I'd been buying McCain's steel-cut oatmeal, but I don't think they sell that at Ralphs. Besides, I miss Quaker old-fashioned oatmeal, and it will fulfill my quest to eat something healthy. I'm going to put some fresh pieces of banana in it when it's almost done cooking. It should be a good breakfast, with lots of potassium, fiber and natural energy.
