Change Motherf*****, Change!


"Telling you right now, there ain't shit flying outa my butt"



According to Gregg Braden's THE DIVINE MATRIX, experiments proved that it takes only the square root of 1% of any population to effect change in that entire population... in a group of 1 Million that would be 100 people! Imagine. 100 people can effect change in 1 Million people.

The biggest change, we as Americans will have the opportunity to effect is who will become the next president. This literally will cause a massive ripple effect in the rest of the world. So, whoever you choose - think on your choice with an eye toward that global future. Not by what the candidates look like (although one of them is really old) or by what the media mongers are putting out there for us to digest. Close your eyes and tune out the hoopla and listen to what your instinct, your gut is telling you. Feel how your spirit perceives their spirit. Vote for change. And understand what that change encompasses. And again, without mentioning any names, ONE of these candidates is awake and conscious and the other doesn't know how many fucking houses he owns. ONE of them knows what is in our hearts and which direction we as a collective of beings need to head in order to thrive and evolve on this planet.

ONE vote becomes millions and the momentum of that energy will propel us to life beyond our wildest dreams. That's the biggest ripple I can imagine! Now I'm not saying it'll It'll be as if by magic. Unicorns won't be lining up at 7-11 for free Slurpees and money won't be flying out of monkey's butts - there is work to be done behind the change. What's taken years to become broken will take time to fix, but time is accelerating and we are ready.

Don't know where that just came from but go with it!

Is it just me or did they add whining to the Olympics?

I'm going to admit that I have really had no interest in the summer Olympics this year. Except to randomly and idly ask things like "why are those volleyball chicks wearing bikinis?" and "when did the U.S. male swim team start looking like Aqua Man?"

But the most burning question is when did they add Whining as a sport? There was the Swedish wrestler who didn't like winning the Bronze medal and had a big hissy fit - leaving the podium in mid ceremony and throwing his medal on the ground. The Ethiopian runner who mad a big announcement that he was withdrawing from the games because of China's bad air quality only to now complain about opting out of marathon. Then the Canadians! After four one-run losses, their baseball team went ape shit on Japan's team by tossing their bats and helmets, arguing with the umpire and shocking spectators with bursts of profanity. U.S. tennis player James Blake made a "statement" about his Chilean oponent not copping to a call and claiming it cost him the gold. A little over a week ago a match between the U.S. men's volleyball team and Italy broke down after Italy won. Players on both sides traded profanities, which were picked up by NBC's microphones and broadcast nationwide. Of course I missed that! And finally, those wacky Spaniards won't stop making the Ching Chong face (no complaints please) in their team pictures! They got busted for it once but new posts have surfaced.














It's a tough call but I think I have to award the Gold for Whining to the Swedish wrestler for going the extra mile and stomping off of the podium and throwing his Bronze medal on the ground like dirty Mardi Gras beads. Here's to you, Sour Grapes Swedish Wrestler Guy. You don't even look Swedish and I think your country should look into that.



















HAHAHA! Check out the look on the gold medal winner's face behind Sour Grapes Swedish Wrestler Guy. Priceless.

OMG! Now Chef is dead too?!

For Fuck sake! I can't keep up! This is all I've got...


I'll remember THIS Isaac Hayes like most of us...


And I'm honored to remember THIS Isaac Hayes.


And while we're at it...the brilliant Bernie Brillstein just died too! I didn't mean for his picture to come out this small and would normally obsess over it but WTF? He wouldn't care.

No More Milk and Cookies


We have lost Bernie Mac. Anyone who has ever seen him perform knows what a devastating loss it is. I'm not going to list all of his brilliant contributions here. Everyone's doing that. Although, I am going to say I LOVED "Mr. 3000". I thought he showed real leading man potential there. If you've never seen it, check it out.



I want to share my personal Bernie Mac story this morning. In the days when Barry Diller and Jonathan Dolgen were at the top of the heap at 20th Century Fox (when Studio Heads had balls!) I was just starting out as an assistant and became friends with one of Jonathan Dolgen's assistants. Now Dolgen's office was known as a revolving door for assistants. I've literally seen temps RUN from his office as if chased by demons! Dolgen always had two assistants and one of them was always a fine black woman. That was his own personal contribution to equality (or maybe they just had the strength to handle him!). One of the women who lasted the longest was Rhonda, Bernie Mac's wife. In the almost all white echelons of the Executive Building back then, nobody really knew who Bernie Mac was at the time. Until one day...

I was visiting my friend in Dolgen's office when something happened to displease the master and the tantrum began. I wasn't even involved but was rooted to the floor in fear and awe as Dolgen eloquently made his point at thunderous decibels. With his light blue devil dog eyes flashing and spittle flying, you couldn't look away.

Just then the door opened and there stood Bernie Mac. He filled the doorway - tall, dark black, all dressed in black. A black turtleneck and black leather jacket. His eyes widened slightly. Dolgen stopped, mid tirade. He stared at Bernie, not sure what was going to happen next. Neither was I! Bernie looked from Dolgen to Rhonda and said "What's going on here?" She glided around her desk and put her hand gently but firmly on Bernie's arm. "Jon, this is my husband, Bernie Mac." It was all very civil. Dolgen shook his hand. They made small talk and Bernie Mac took his wife to lunch, leaving a void where his palpable energy had just been. Dolgen looked at us and without a word went into his inner office and shut the door. From that day on I loved me some Bernie Mac!

Typical Manchester Gits


Disclaimer: These aren't the actual drunken Mancs but an excellent simulation!

Drunken passengers force flight to land in Germany

BERLIN - Two drunken British women went on a rampage on a charter plane, hitting one flight attendant with a bottle of vodka and trying to open a cabin door as the aircraft was cruising over Austria at 10,000 meters (32,800 feet), police said Saturday.

Was it one of those tiny bottles of vodka? How much could that hurt? Do they use big bottles on cheap charter flights? And I love that these gits were so drunk they tried to exit the plane in mid air.

The staff on the flight from Greece to England eventually forced the women back to their seats and the pilot made an emergency in Frankfurt on Thursday, police told The Associated Press, confirming a statement they had issued on Friday.

They had to make an emergency landing! If this happened in our friendly skies, these brit gits would already be rotting at Gitmo.

The identities of the women, aged 26 and 27, were not released, but police said the 26-year-old may be charged with attempted assault and interfering with air traffic.

Both women were released, police said.

The rampage occurred when a flight attendant denied the women alcohol because they were visibly intoxicated, police said. The 26-year-old took a swipe at a cabin attendant with a bottle of vodka, then attempted to open a cabin door.

"Apparently the 26-year-old wanted to catch some fresh air," the statement said, in an effort to make light of the altercation.

The two women were taken into custody by police at the Frankfurt airport and given a breathalyzer test. Both were legally intoxicated.

After an hour in Frankfurt, the flight continued on to Manchester, England.

Can you imagine being part of the cabin crew on this hell flight? A plane full of drunken Mancs up to all kinds of shenanigans... I was married to one.
