The Stones Documentary

If you are a fan of the Rolling Stones, then you do not want to miss their documentary. I found the trailer online so you can take a sneak peek!

From Angry Birds to Bad Piggies!

Did you join the Angry Bird insanity when they were introduced? I did, played it quite a bit in the evening...actually, it was pretty humorous as the whole family would be on their smart phones trying to get to the next level. If I couldn't, I would hand it off to my daughter, Morgan! The bird craze only lasted a couple weeks for us and I guess now we can try the Piggies! Here is a link to their website and the trailer is below!

Clapton time!

Christie's will auction in November an "ultra-rare" watch by Swiss watchmaker Patek Philippe from musician and watch collector Eric Clapton. I did not know Clapton was a collector?! Only two of this particular model were cased in platinum. Made in 1987, it's described as a "platinum perpetual calendar chronograph wristwatch with moon phases" with an estimated value of $2,668,650 to $4,278,080. Yeowza - if you have some spare cash laying around...here is a great Christmas gift for.....another rich person :)

Packers loss...

Ok, I know...everybody is talking about the end of the game last night and I will too! It completely sucked! Actually, the first half sucked as well, the Packers were not playing up to their ability and really struggled with the SeaHawks Defense. At least we were able to hold them to just one touchdown...until 1/2 # 2! My take on the final play was YES, an interception occurred, the refs were so insecure that one was waving off the touchdown and the other guy thought he was putting his hands up acknowledging a touchdown, so he threw his up. REALLY, after looking at the replay they still could not see that it was an interception??!! I did hear a pretty funny quote through it all that the SeaHawks Quarterback will go down in history for the only QB to throw a game winning interception :) Hey, at least my Poppers were amazing and That's What I am Talkin' Bout Stout ice cold!

Nerd Reality Show?!

A show to turn nerds into billionaires - with the idea coming from Pea, will-i-am! He says we need creative people to work with broadcasters, making smart content to inspire people to be geniuses. It will be great TV and great for our society! He realizes the threat of a viewer taking the contestants idea is there as well and may deter participation. Would you watch a reality show of this nature? I would...I like the Shark show as well, letting inventors showcase their ideas/businesses to get financial help from millionaires. Here is where I found the Pea story, we shall see how far it gets! Photo courtesy of Rogue Digital

My Video Pick of the Day!

I love how the older girl just continues with her recital! This little "fox" seems to think its just a dance lesson and her poor mother did try to get her off the dance floor once :)

Billie Joe checked into rehab!

Boy, this is so sad, Billie Joe Armstrong, lead singer of Green Day, checked himself into rehab for substance abuse this weekend. He freaked out at the iHeartRadio festival in Las Vegas when their set was cut short to make more time for Rihanna and Usher's performances. Armstrong went crazy, cursing, smashing instruments and flipping off the camera before storming off stage. The band did apologize and have postponed all upcoming appearances until further notice!

My Video Pick of the Day!

Well, I have heard of the Gangnam Style but never experienced it - well , here ya go!

Justin Timberlake is taking a break from music!

Boy, if you are a Justin Timberlake fan you are going to have to wait awhile before you hear new music from him. He is no hurry to put out an album. You can catch him on the big screen with Clint Eastwood and Amy Adams in Trouble With the Curve. He says making music is a special thing and he doesn't think he can pump them out every year. His last album was back in 2006 and sold over 4 million copies to date. Check out the movie trailer below of Trouble With the Curve!

Video Pick of the Day!

Pitbull's new album is coming!

My daughter, Morgan laughs at me because I am a huge Pitbull fan! I am not sure what's so funny about that, but when he is on the radio she will say, "There's your Pitbull, Mom"! Ha, I say the same, he's my Pitbull. I love the tone of his voice and to me he is the best rapper out there now. Well, here is a taste of his new album coming out November 19th!

The Squatty Potty? Yep!

Ok, I did watch the entire video, I will admit it! You just might get sucked in too! What do you think about the Squatty Potty? Here is their website!

Have you ever found a message in a bottle?

Here is a world record...a skipper in Scotland has found a message in a bottle 98 years after it was dropped into the waters! The drift bottle - containing a postcard which promised a reward of six pence to the finder - was released in June 1914 by Captain CH Brown of the Glasgow School of Navigation. It was in a batch of 1,890 scientific research bottles which were specially designed to sink to help map the currents of the seas around Scotland when they were returned. Only 315 of them have been found. This is such a cool story! Check out more here!

Here is a video that will explain it a lot better than I can!

Lady Gaga wanted to pay tribute to the mother of a close friend and photographer who lost her battle with cancer this week, so she shaved part of the back of her head. Many other Little Monsters have chimed in on how they feel about her support!

Chris Brown & his new tattoo...

I find this so offensive if it is truly a tattoo of a battered woman that is tattooed on Chris Browns neck. He was accused a few years ago of beating up Rihanna and now this tattoo shows up on his neck. Is he gloating about getting away with something? Here is the complete story.

My Video Pick of the Day!

Something about this video seems very, very wrong...don't you agree?

The 2012 Freedom Walk

It was a beautiful evening at Riverside Park last evening. Many showed up at the band shell to honor our Emergency Services Workers and our Veterans past and present.

Always Remember - Never Forget!

September 11, 2001 was one of my toughest days in radio. I was as shell shocked as everyone and had a very hard time keeping my emotions in check. I knew I had to do my job...to inform all of you of the tragedy unfolding in New York, but struggled with my own thoughts and fears. The thought of this being the beginning of more attacks, of family and friends all over the nation maybe being in harms way. Then I thought of the families right there, at ground zero. All those firemen, policemen, emergency responders that did their job, didn't even think twice of running into burning buildings to save lives. All of them HERO's! Today we have an opportunity to show our support of all of the hero's, veterans, past and present, and those that protect us each and every day by walking at the 2012 Freedom Walk with Operation Homefront. It is a FREE event and all are welcome to attend. The program starts at 5:15pm at the band shell in Riverside Park with the walk shortly after. Please join me tonight to say "Thank you"!

Green Day's Tour!

OMG, this is so funny!

Candy Corn Oreos!!

My first reaction to this was "Ew"! Then I thought it through...ok, I do like candy corn and roasted peanuts, so if the wafer cookie has a peanut flavor to it that may be ok....nope. Well, will I try one? Yes, you have to at least give it a try!! You will find them in Target Stores beginning today! Here is a little more history on the Oreo Cookie!

Gorgeous weekend!

I spent quite a bit of time in the state park by my house! Love the scenery and well trimmed trails for running and hiking.

I hope you take in some High School Football tonight, walk for breast cancer research tomorrow with Steppin' Out in Pink and then enjoy the Green & Gold Sunday afternoon!! Ok, now you know what I am doing this weekend :) Be sure to enjoy yours!

A 1-Ton Bacon Cheeseburger!

Wow, this is HUGE!! A Casino in Minnesota a world-record cheeseburger that is 10 feet in diameter and weighs more than a ton!! Yesterday I enjoyed a cheeseburger at the Thirsty Turtle in Stoddard...1/2 lb and I had to split it - imagine digging into a 1 ton burger!
