Do you love Taylor Swift? Had a debate with some of the guys at the school Bus Garage yesterday about her (in case you didn’t know…I’m driving a bus till I get my next full-time radio job) can she sing or not?I think she has a unique sound and it’s a sound I like…so to me she can sing and I’ll buy her records. Here’s what I really love about Taylor…she’s selling cheap tickets to her Fearless concert! 20 bucks…that’s right a family of four can go for $80, plus Ticketmaster markup…Reminds me of Garth Brooks.
That guy knew he could sell out a stadium…time and time again…and he could get away with charging whatever he wanted. But did he? I’m trying to remember what I paid for his farewell tour…I think it was $23. That’s a guy who loves his fans…and I think Taylor is on the right track with dropping her price.
Would you say, “no”, to 10 million bucks? Hugh Hefner offered Jennifer
Aniston $4 million and up to $10 million, depending on sales, to pose in Playboy! Guess he saw the GQ photos from a few months ago and they got his blood boiling him seeing green. She said no…not interested in showing off anymore of her body. Good for her…There’s no way I’d pose in Playboy…no matter what kind of cash they threw my way! Oh yeah, guess they wouldn’t ask me.
Speaking of big bucks how about $3 million!
Want to know why I’m going to watch every single Super Bowl commercial? Cause at $3 million a pop (and a 30 second pop at that) and with some of the commercials for companies the Government just bailed-out…I want to make sure our governments my money is being used effectively. Hey, it’s my cash Uncle Sam just shelled out these companies…the least I can expect is a quality commercial.
Speaking of the Super Bowl and the economy…President Obama needs to hold off on his stimulus package and let the Super Bowl bring this country back to life. The Dow Jones is almost guaranteed to shoot up on Monday. Here’s why…”The Super Bowl Predictor”. When a team from the original National Football League wins the Championship the Dow almost always jumps on Monday. When a team from the old American Football League wins the Dow almost always drops…Guess where the Cardinals and Steelers are from???? Both are original NFL teams. That means we got us a win-win situation. No matter who wins on Sunday the Dow should take a giant leap on Monday. Football is more then an American past-time IT’S THE AMERICAN ECONOMIC SAVIOR!
BTW: Go Steelers!
I’ll be honest…didn’t watch Idol last night…catching up on 24 (I like this President, she’s sticking to her principles…but, the FBI looks like a bunch of 
weenieswho have multiple meetings where they reiterate, “we need to put all our resources on this.” Quit having meetings and get out and do something!) Back to Idol…Lots of gabbing on former singers, ones who have been under contract, who are making it to Hollywood. I don’t care if they’ve had a contract before…I care if they have one right now. We’re all looking to make our dreams come true and sometimes it takes multiple triesfrom different directions to fulfill that dream. Yeah, they had a contract before…so what…they failed and lost it….it didn’t work. They’re no different then someone who tried to get a record contract over and over and over again and got rejected over and over and over again. Yeah, they’ve gone one step further then those that have never even tired for a contract, but it didn’t work for them and they’re still unsigned/undiscovered/and working at Starbucks. In my book they’re all even and have the hardest task yet ahead of them… earn my respect and vote.
Ever have someone scare you? Getting my hair cut on Saturday and Niki,
my barber, was all done. Just brushing my neck off when I heard her gasp and say, “Oh, NO!” What’s wrong! What happened?”, I say…all she said was, “Whoa…WHAT’S UP with your eyebrows?! They need some serious trimming.”…THAT’S IT? MY EYEBROWS…That’s not worth a sudden intake of air and a fear filled, “Oh, No!” I thought she’d skimmed the back of my head and I was bleeding out. When you have sharp objects around my body watch what you say!
Speaking of bleeding out, I almost did! Yesterday I had a mole removed from my back (I know TMI…but do yourself a favor if you have moles get them checked regularly to ensure they’re not cancerous) this one wasn’t evil, but the doc thought it needed carved out of my back…Yeah, carved is the right word. Numbed up the whole area and cut a small shoulder roast out of me. Then as she’s using some kind of electric pen to cauterize the wound…she say, “What it world is going on?“…Hello! I’m laying face down with a bloody hole in my back…you made me sign a form listing all the things that could go wrong…scaring, irreparable nerve damage, even death…and you’re saying, “What in the world is going on?” THIS IS NOT COMFORTING…it’s one thing when my barber says, “oops”…it’s another when the doctor who’s just cut a hole in my body and is sticking a hot iron in it to cauterize it says, “Oops”……So in the calmest voice I can conjure up I say, “Can I ask what’s up?”, “Yeah, you’re a bleeder”, she says. “It’s not wanting to stop bleeding.” GREAT, “Do your best”, I say. After a few more minutes she says…”That should do it”…”SHOULD? Did you just say SHOULD?
So at 10 o’clock tonight, I SHOULDN’T be sitting in my lazy boy bleeding out?”…”Yep, but if you do… go to the emergency room. I want you back in two weeks to take the stitches out and three months for a follow up visit.”…I’ll be there unless you find me lifeless in my favorite lazy-boy…
Do you like 24? One problem…if I hear them say, “Torture! We’re the FBI we don’t torture.” “What? Torture. That’s not the FBI way.” ” What has Jack done to you? You’re torturing just like him. We’re the FBI, we follow the laws.” 
Enough already….you’re torturing me. Other then that the shows pretty good. Except why do TV people always have to bury people alive? That’s my greatest fear. When jack started shoveling dirt on her my heart started racing…then when he threw it on her face…oh boy, I couldn’t breath. That stuff freaks me out. Now I have to have visions of that for the next week…talk about torture. Oh wait…you’re FOX not the FBI…you can torture.
While I’m on the TV kick…American Idolwas nice this week. ONE HOUR, 
what a pleasant surprise. I get kind of tired of the two hour marathons…expecially after spending six hours watchingObama’s Inauguration. One hour of Idol was nice…Although I’m ready to shoot that girl that couldn’t stop laughing. She has to go Hollywood Week episode one. Oh, real quick…I’m liking Kara. She can stand up to Simon without screaming and acting like a spoiled brat (Paula?) Plus, she makes sense.
More tales from Potty Training
For all of you who are potty training…you can go about it blindly like Tracey and I are…you can do Doctor Phil’s, Potty Training in Three Days…or you can watch and study this Japanese video on how to do it (pay special attention to the kid on the toilet at the end) It’s in Japanese but you’ll get the idea…
