This evening (Tuesday evening, 9/23) I went to Pleasure Island at Walt Disney World. Every time I come here, I always make a visit to the Comedy Warehouse there at least one night per trip. It's always a fun time there- it's spontaneous, it's improv, it's....closing? Yes, the Comedy Warehouse, along with the Adventurer's Club and the dance clubs, including Mannequins and 8 Trax, are closing down after this coming Saturday. According to Pleasure Island Cast Members, they were told that those venues will be replaced by shops and restaurants. Oh, well...everything must come to an end...It's not a bad thing, really. It's just time....Those of us who supported the Comedy Warehouse and the Adventurer's Club, along with the other clubs, will always have the memories of the fun times that we had there. Pleasure Island over the last couple of years certainly has not been as busy as it used to be in past years, and now with competition like Citywalk at Universal Studios, Disney has got to make some changes to keep competitive, and to make it interesting.
Still, the Comedy Warehouse has some really talented folks who work there, and like I was telling Comedy Warehouse Cast Member Mary this evening, I could definitely see any of those folks moving to Los Angeles or New York and making a living in films and television. It's a scary thing when you've had a steady job at Disney for years, but heck...It's worth a shot, right? I mean, they're already actors...I can envision Mary, for example, guesting on shows like Grey's Anatomy, Ugly Betty or Samantha Who...
Anyway, I'm tired now...It's like 3:44AM here in Florida right now, and it's time for me to go to bed. I enjoyed myself tonight, but here at Disney's Old Key West Resort, my bed is calling me. Good night!

Barack Obama and the Lipstick on a Pig
Barack Obama has recently been explaining himself over his recent non-original "lipstick on a pig" speech a few days ago. You know, the one that the McCain campaign claims that Obama was calling Sarah Palin a pig. Boy, I've got to give it to the Republicans. That was a good move on their part, for one good reason: there are a lot of stupid people out there, and only they would really believe that that's what Obama meant.
Obama's big mistake is in his repeated trying to explain what he meant. If Obama wants to come across as strong, this is what he should do: "Everybody. I'm going to say this only once, and then I'm never going to talk about it again, so listen up: I did not call Sarah Palin a pig. The McCain camp is telling you that I did. Go on You Tube and watch the full speech that I gave if you don't believe me. If you are an idiot, you will believe what the Repulicans tell you to believe, and you'll vote for McCain. Thank you". That would be a manly response, don't you think?
Howard Dean a few years back couldn't recover when he yelled, "Yeee Haw!" and his opponent, John Kerry, called him a "loose cannon". If Mr. Dean had played it cool, held a press conference and said, "look at the tape. I was just having a good time. I'm not crazy, and I'm not a loose cannon, and I will not ever talk to the press about this again", then he would probably have been the Democratic nominee against George Bush. But no, he kept on stumbling and trying to explain himself. Obama, you are coming across as stuffy lately. Man up!!!!!

Want To Laugh? Check Out Beverly Hills Chihuahua!
You have got to check out the trailer for the new Disney movie that's coming out Sept. 26, "Beverly Hills Chihuahua". The theme song is really catchy. It looks like a crazy movie, though. I will go see it.

What Do We Need Now? More Taxes, Of Course!
It's kind of amazing what's going on with the Republican leaders in America. In California, Arnold Schwarzenegger (a Repulican) says that California needs to reduce the over $15 billion deficit, by cutting spending across the board. Of course, that means cutting jobs in all areas, including teachers. The Democrats feel that teachers and other key positions should not be cut, and that taxes need to be raised to shrink that deficit. It came out recently (again) that not only is the U.S. behind several countries in Math (we're like 24th place), but California isn't doing so hot against other states in Education, either. The governor says that he is for Education. Then why is he letting it be cut? To put out that deficit fire, you need some revenues. Frankly, I don't care if they raise sales tax or not. I heard that the governor is apprehensive about that, because it might cause people to stop spending on other things, and slow down California's economy. Guess what, Governor? I've already slowed my spending down as much as I can, and raising the sales tax by a penny won't kill me, especially compared to how much the gas increases killed me during the last few months. I'll say this: the Governor seems confused. Does he really want to cut that $15 billion, or not? If you cut spending, you'll still have that deficit, and it will grow, with interest. In order to put it out, you need to throw some tax revenue at it. Period. Unless you can harness the sun power to pay it off, it ain't gonna go away without raising taxes.
In Los Angeles, Antonio Villaraigos (a Democrat) said initially that the city would cut jobs across the board except for police, which was scheduled to increase jobs due to the need. After a little discussion, it was worked out that perhaps nobody would lose their jobs in Los Angeles after all, because they found a way to fund more police and keep the current jobs. The solution? To raise the amounts that they charge on parking meters, and to increase the number of hours that the meters are monitored. All of this hasn't kicked in yet, but I imagine that they will make more money this way. The party-going nightsters will fund the extra police and the other city jobs. Good work, Villaraigosa.
In the broader United States of America, John McCain says that he will not raise taxes at all, despite the biggest U.S. government deficit ever. Instead, he says that he'll increase the tax breaks to the corporations and to the wealthiest Americans. Lowering the deficit was never anything that concerned George W. Bush, and apparently it does not worry McCain, either, who is rich himself (and his wife is really, really rich). There's one thing that I really don't understand: how anybody who's poor can vote Repulican in this election. I see a lot of homes that have been foreclosed on. I know that a lot of people are out of jobs, in both political parties. I'm sorry, but you can't tell me that giving rich people more tax breaks is going to trickle down to make me being better off. What' I've seen is that giving tax breaks to the rich and to the corporations has caused them to invest in new factories- in other cournties. Whole industries are moving their buildings and headquarters to China. The rich are learning Chinese, buying real estate in China, and putting more money in other currencies. I've seen benefits being taken away from Americans. The jobs that are created in America are Starbucks, McDonalds. There's a plethora of people selling insurance in America. All I know is, the Democrats will raise the taxes if Barack Obama is elected, but it will only be on the super rich (who make way more than I do), so I'm not concerned that my taxes will go up. Hell, I'd want that threat that the rich have- taxes,because that would mean that I was rich!

Paris Hilton for President? She Slams McCain in this video!
I so love Paris Hilton ever since she got out of jail. I mean, she's really done her best to be a role model for how to recover from disaster gracefully. When the McCain campaign thought that they could bring down Obama by comparing his celebrity to hers (like it was a bad thing), she turned the tables on BOTH campaigns, really, by coming up with her own sound policy to solve America's energy problem- check out this video. Paris is running for President? Why not? If Barack can learn as he goes along, why not Paris? And she's not old....Check out this video.

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.

Great Short about "The Disney Vault"
This is a great cartoon short from "Saturday Night Live", where they really make fun of The Walt Disney Company, and where they take some of the most outrageous urban legends about Disney and put them all into "The Disney Vault", including the myth that Walt Disney is frozen. This one really crosses the line, in crazy way that "Saturday Night Live" is known for. Note: there is a short commercial before it starts.

I Hate AT&T Advertising and Publishing (the AT&T Yellow Pages Sucks)
I am really tired because I've had a busy day today, but I just want to say right now, before I go to bed, that AT&T Advertising and Publishing is a real rip-off, and I would like to warn as many advertisers as possible to not get hooked up with that loser of a company. It is my experience from advertising with them, and their sister rip-off company, Yellow Pages.com, that not only does their advertising not produce the results that they claim, but also that it is quite possible that you will not even recoup your expenses in advertising from the business that you will get from the advertising. I will not go into detail here, but I would also like to say that one of their representatives failed to cancel my print advertising after I instructed her to, and after she said that she would pull it. After they printed the advertising without my permission, the stupid, lying bitch account representative named Dernise B. lied and said that I never told her to cancel the ads. How much is this non-effective advertisement costing me? $59 a month, for a locked-in 12 months.
AT&T Advertising and Publishing sucks! Don't use it, and you can quote me on that! If you have any questions, you can contact me here on my blog!

Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton on SNL on 5/10/08
Did you see this clip of Amy Poehler on Saturday Night Live on Saturday 5/10/08? If not, then here it is. It is funny, mainly because the writers took everything that all of Hillary's harshest critics have said about her, and made them "qualities" that Hillary is proud of, in an effort to further demonstrate her toughness for not already conceding the nomination to Obama. It's a funny skit, and a lot of people who like Hillary find it offensive. Some Barack Obama supporters might find it a dead-on potrayal, perhaps not even funny, but as an indictment of the real Hillary. I think that people who like both Hillary and Obama, but who know that people are people, regardless of race, and who realize that racism is just a part of who we all are (no matter what color we are) will see this skit for what it is- simply a funny parody. Like all good parodies, there are some truths to it, but that's what makes all parodies funny.

Rent My Timeshare at the Oak Plantation Vacation Resort in Kissimmee, Florida, get one free night at a DVC Resort
Are you planning a trip to Walt Disney World this year? September is a good time to go if you don't have kids- the kids are going back to school in September, and the crowds die down significantly. I own the use of a 1 bedroom condominium at the Oak Plantation Vacation Resort in Kissimmee, Florida, during week 36 (which runs from September 7 thru September 14, 2008) which I am renting out for $700.

I will book you one night at either Disney's Old Key West Resort, Disney's Villas at the Wilderness Lodge Resort, Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa, Disney's Boardwalk Villas Resort, Disney's Beach Club Villas Resort, Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas Resort, or Disney's Vero Beach Resort.

I Swithed From ATT Wireless To Metro PCS. Here's What Happened!
I thought that I would save some money by switching from AT&T Wireless to Metro PCS. I went to their store, bought a nice phone (a Motorola RAZR, for close to $200), and the phone worked pretty good, when I was outside or out on the road. Coverage was pretty extensive- I only lost reception when I went from Los Angeles to Santa Clarita, California, but I expected that. My bill after switching was going to be pretty good, too- only about $53 for the plan that I chose.
I had only one major problem: I had horrbile reception inside my apartment. You see, I have a business- a Mobile Notary business, and if a new customer calls me and can't get me on the phone easily, they move on to the next Notary they find on Google. I know that I lost at least 2 customers for this reason during the period that I had Metro PCS.
Other times in my apartment, my phone wouldn't ring at all when people would call me. This happened almost half the time that I had the phone. Finally, I couldn't take it anymore, and went crawling back to AT&T, because at least I know that I can rely on the calls not dropping most of the time, and I could rely on getting my calls. Metro PCS is cool if you don't care if you miss calls, but for me, I couldn't rely on it- I need reliable service, baby. Now I'm paying even more money than I paid with AT&T before (i'm paying $99.99 per month now), but that's only temporary, until I can afford an iPhone. I will probably get the iPhone in 3 months, and I will then pay even $20 more per month, but I will have one badass phone!

What Is The Phone Number To Call Walt Disney World?
The phone number for Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida (near Orlando) is 407-WDISNEY, or 407-934-7639. Again, the number to call Walt Disney World is 407- W DISNEY, which is 407-934-7639. This is not a toll-free number.
I always wondered why they don't have a toll-free number, but now I know. Toll-free numbers used to cost a lot of money to have. Sometimes they still do. Today if you use a cell phone (and most people do), there is no extra charge for long distance, so it doesn't matter if you have to dial Orlando's area code.
Anyway, the phone number for Walt Disney World is 407- W DISNEY. In case you don't know, the number is derived from Walt Disney's name.

Buy My Timeshare for $100 total (Oak Plantation Resort in Kissimmee, FL)
Have you ever wanted to own a timeshare, or thought about it? I own 2 timeshares at the same resort- the Oak Plantation Vacation Resort in Kissimmee, Florida. Owning 2 timeshares has turned out to be too much for me to own- I can't afford to take 2-one- week-long vacations. Therefore, I am selling my timeshare for $200 plus closing costs (about $300).
I paid $6,500 for the unit, plus closing costs, so compared to what I paid, you are getting a fantastic deal! Also, if you were to try to buy the same thing from the resort, they'd charge even more than what I paid, most likely.
Why am I selling for so low? Because I would like a quick sale!
When the deal is done, you will own this timeshare, a 1-bedroom unit at the Oak Plantation in Kissimmee, which sleeps 4 people, has nice amenities, and is close to Walt Disney World and other cool attractions. Your ownership will be annual- you will get week 36 each year (which usually starts within the first 7 days of September), in unit #107, which is a 1-bedroom unit. Your ownership will be forever (until you sell it or will it away). You will get use of the unit from Sunday at 4PM to the following Sunday at 12PM each year during week 36 (on the RCI calendar).
The only thing you have to do is to pay the dues (for maintenance and taxes) each year (this year it was $700), and the use of the unit will be yours, for vacations to the Orlando area at your property. You can also join either RCI or Interval International after you buy this unit from me for $200.
I am also offering one final inducement: I have paid the maintenance and taxes on this unit already for this year, so the use of the unit this year is mine to keep. If you decide to buy this annual timeshare unit from me for $100 AND if you would like the use of it for September 2010, I will sell you that week for an additional $400. Otherwise, I will keep that week, and although you will own the timeshare, your use of it every year will begin in 2011. If you join RCI or Interval International upon the completion of the closing documents, you will be able to bank your week with one of those companies, and you can exchange your week for a vacation to other great resorts around the world.
If you would like to pay the $400 and use my week in September of 2010 in addition to purchasing the timeshare, just let me know.
To check out the Oak Plantation Resort before you buy, go to Oak Planation Resort.com and get good information before you purchase it.

Looking To Make More Money? I am.
If you are like a lot of people in America today, you pay the bills yourself. Therefore, you are aware that gasoline prices are up, along with airline ticket prices and food prices. You might also find yourself in debt. What can you do to make more money, you may ask yourself? I wonder the same thing. I guess I will get that economic stimulus that Congress passed a few weeks ago. If it is $600, it will quickly be eaten by any of my several heavily- charged credit cards. Like the one with the $21,000 balance. Or the one with the $6,000 balance. Or the one with the $2, 700 balance. Or maybe the one with $7,100 owing, or the last big one, with $3,300 owing. So that $600 check will leave me with a balance of $20,550 if I use it for my next payment on the $21,000 card.
Why do I owe so damn much money? Well, working for myself hasn't been so easy. The mortgage crisis killed my income. I applied for a job at Starbucks a few months back, but I never heard from them after my interview. I suppose that I should get a full-time job, and only do my business part-time. Maybe. We shall see. In the meantime, it would be nice to get some money out of the clear blue. Times are tough, baby.
I will try to sell a few things on Ebay to get out of this financial quicksand.
