<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;"> <img src="http://evilbeetgossip.film.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/aubrey_halloween1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Bad Boy Records is the place where artists with talent go to see their careers die a slow and painful death right before their very eyes, take Danity Kane for example. Back in the day, Bad Boy Records was the hottest label to be on and every artist on the label turned to gold. It was as if Puffy had the Midas touch. Then as time went by the music industry changed but Puffy clearly did not. Fast forward a little over 10 years since it's start and Bad Boy Records has few artists on it's roster that have actually had a hit. Many of the artists that made Bad Boy what it is today have left the label or are in jail.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">I'm sure they have many adequate reasons to leave. I mean after all there is the fact that the only artist on the label that actually gets any promotion is Diddy, then there's the fact that the artists have no creative control and that if they want some they have to fight with the label to get it, and then there's the fact that Puffy's magical hit making formula just doesn't work in the ever changing music business. Danity Kane was very fortunate that the success of their show allowed them to grace the Billboard Charts at #1 because without the show, they wouldn't have made the top 200 at all.  "Showstoppin'" had a fair amount of success, then after awhile the group dwindled away.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Despite the fact that their CD was full of songs that could have been hits, Bad Boy dropped a 2nd video for the group in a reluctant fashion. As usual, Bad Boy fails to give deserving artists the promotion that they need in order to be hugely successful like Bad Boy artists once were in the past. A perfect example of this is newly dropped Bad Boy artist, B5, who I believe were dropped for Bad Boy because of the two not seeing eye to eye on image, creative control, lack of promotion, delaying the release of their CD for years, and terrible CD sales. If Bad Boy promoted this artist, perhaps they would have sold more than 19,000 copies on their first week. The only artist on Bad Boy that gets any promotion is Diddy, I wonder why?  Danity Kane could have easily been in B5's situation, however, they managed to do well on the charts so Diddy decided to keep the girls on the label although the girls should have fled when they realized after "Showstoppin'" their success seemed to disappear. The girls confirmed my thoughts when they said that this time they want more control over their sound on their new CD, their wise thinking and voicing their opinion got them a hit with "Damaged." Then as expected, after that their success stalled once they released their video for "Bad Girl". I think "Sucker for Love" would have been a better choice.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Now here we are on the first part of the season finale of Making The Band 4 and it appears that Aubrey O'Day has been kicked out of the group that owes all its relevancy to her wild and crazy party girl antics and behavior. I am glad to see Aubrey leave the group and I would be happier if the remaining members left the label. Aubrey was smart enough to leave instead of staying there with the rest of the members to succeed at their job of kissing Diddy's bum and telling him every word that he wants to hear when it comes to their careers while they bite their tongues about what they want to do in their career as Danity Kane.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Without Aubrey O'Day, Danity Kane will be nothing. Having no Aubrey in Danity Kane, is like TLC without a Left Eye...it's just boring and no one will care anymore. Now that Aubrey O'Day seems to be kicked out of the group, Diddy has no money making machines left. Cassie will never again have a hit due to her disasterous performances on 106th &#38; Park and TRL,  Cheri Dennis will never have the chance for the world to hear her beautiful voice, as long as Donnie is on Bad Boy he will never get the hot songs he need to be taken seriously despite his super good looks and nice pipes, Day 26 is talented but there is a serious lack of chemistry and if they break up I won't be surprised, and all the other artists on the label are just sitting there thinking 'What happened to my career, where did it go?' So Diddy, I feel sorry for your loss. Aubrey, I'm glad you moved on...Danity Kane was too talented for Bad Boy anyway. Hopefully Aubrey was just going to use Danity Kane as a stepping stone anyway.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Diddy will NOT be signing Poprah’s paychecks.<span>  </span>He told her personally (not even waiting for the elimination meeting) that she isn’t ready to work for Diddy.<span>  </span>And wow, was he right.<span>  </span>He needs someone who will be there at his beck and call and willing to walk his dog to the groomer.<span>  </span>He needs someone who can be molded into the Diddy way.<span>  </span>He does not need attitude.<span>  </span>He does not need a headache.<span>  </span>He does not need Poprah.<span>  </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">I’m not sure what she was thinking when he did it.<span>  </span>She just kept on working and doing stuff at her desk.<span>  </span>It was almost if she decided to ignore it, she really wouldn’t be fired.<span>  </span>No such luck.<span>  </span>She was escorted to the elevator and out she went.<span>  Oh, and Poprah... Diddy will go back and pump gas before he ever works for you.</span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">I caught myself giggling as this was unfolding.<span>  </span>Hee hee hee.<span>  </span>Oops… still giggling.<span>  </span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Stefanie, Mike, and Suzanne presented the reasons why they should work for Diddy.<span>  </span>Stefanie didn’t impress, and Diddy was not a fan of Stefanie’s jack-in-the-box <span style="color:#000000;">Red Heel® </span><span style="color:#000000;">Sock Monkey</span>.<span>  </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">[Just a side note regarding the <span style="color:#000000;"><a href="http://www.supersockmonkey.com/" target="_blank">Red Heel® <span>Sock Monkey</span></a></span>.<span>  </span>The <span style="color:#000000;">Red Heel® socks were first manufactured in 1890 by The Nelson Knitting Co. in Rockford Illinois, the first company world wide to manufacture socks.<span>  </span></span>They were acquired in 1992 and are now made by the Appleton, WI company, </span><a href="http://www.foxsox.com/Company/History.aspx" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Fox Sox</span></a><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">.<span>  </span>The directions to make your own Sock Monkey are still included with each pair of <span style="color:#000000;">Red Heel® socks, something that has been done since 1920.]</span></span></span></p>

<div></div>
<p><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#000000;">So it was down to Mike and Suzanne.<span>  </span>Final challenge - It was time to pack Diddy’s bags so he could head to Cannes International Film Festival.<span>  </span>They had to pack a million bags for Diddy and catalog all items in the bags within an hour.<span>  </span>And then they needed to stuff the airplane with the luggage.<span>  </span>And they did it.<span>  </span>This is it.<span>  </span>It has all come down to Diddy’s helicopter arrival on the runway, ready to board his private jet and head into history.<span>  </span>Who would it be?<span>  </span>It really could have gone either way.<span>  </span>It really seemed like both would be a great asset to his team.<span>  </span>And the winner?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;">It looks like Suzanne is ready to work for Diddy.<span>  </span>She seemed more surprised than anyone.<span>  </span>Completely stunned!<span>  </span>After the congratulations, we see Mic standing there, watching the plane taxi away.<span>  </span>But wait… the plane stops.<span>  </span>The door opens and Diddy pops his head out.<span>  </span><em>“Hey, yo Mic.<span>  </span>Come here a second.<span>  </span>Hey yo…<span>  </span>I was thinking, I got like ten companies.<span>  </span>That means I got a lot of room.<span>  </span>Why don’t ya come with us?”</em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;">I didn’t realize it as I was watching the finale, but I was on the edge of my seat.<span>  </span>I really was glued to the end – I mean, I <em>needed</em> to know who wins this, and I said from the beginning - it better not be Poprah.<span>  </span>As the end unfolded, I was smiling.<span>  </span>Why on earth was I so attached to this show?<span>  </span>I haven’t figured this one out yet, but I couldn’t be happier for Suzanne and Mic.<span>  </span>Toward the end, it appeared these two were content with whatever Diddy’s decision would be.<span>  </span>They worked hard, but they also worked together and didn’t disrespect each other.<span>  </span>There was no talk of sabotage, only thoughts of working hard to win a spot as Diddy’s assistant.<span>  </span>Maybe they were faking it for TV, but it really did appear they were OK with either one winning.<span>  </span>They did their best and I think they were at peace with the outcome, no matter which way it went.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;">In the end, it was nice to see both of them get jobs, and based on previous assistants, it looks like they will have a great future, provided they CAN work for Diddy.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ich gehe die Straßen entlang und merke, dass mein Bier sich langsam dem Ende zuneigt. Also beschließe ich, mich zur Tanke zu begeben, um neues zu holen. Auf dem Weg dorthin denke ich über den Sinn des Brüllens nach und komme zu dem Ergebnis, dass ein Bier alleine nicht reicht. Ich sollte mir zwei holen. Und eine Flasche Wodka. Doch plötzlich bekomme ich furchtbare Existenzängste: was ist, wenn sie nur noch die billige Marke da haben? Muss ich sie dann mit einer Flasche Korn hinunterspülen, damit sie schmeckt? Und wird es je wieder meine Lieblingsmarke geben? Ich weiß es nicht. Zweifel kommen auf.</p>
<p>An der Tanke angekommen, schlägt mein Herz, vollgefüllt mit Koffein und Alkohol, ein wenig schneller. Ich gehe zum Kühlregal und da sehe ich: Kunolbert, der Tankstellentyp, hat nur für mich meine Lieblingsmarke kalt gestellt.</p>
<p>In diesem Moment erkenne ich: das Leben ist immer wieder lebenswert, da der Erfolg nie wirklich lange auf sich warten lässt. Als nächstes teste ich mein Glück im Puff....</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">There is no doubt Diddy’s assistants work hard and are good at their job.<span>  </span>They have to be the best at what they do since they are the ones who make the magic happen.<span>  </span>Now the competition to be Diddy’s assistant is down to four hopefuls – Kim “Poprah”, Mic, Stephanie, and Suzanne.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">We all know Kim has a mouth on her, but who would have guessed she would use it to fire back at Diddy?<span>  </span>Yea, you’re right.<span>  </span>No one should be surprised.<span>  </span>Whenever she gets riled up and under stress, she starts firing her mouth and treating all the “little people” like crap.<span>  </span>I guess that included Diddy when she told him that she couldn’t just invent his guest list.<span>  </span>Let me think… if Diddy <span style="text-decoration:underline;">wants</span> his guest list, you <span style="text-decoration:underline;">get</span> Diddy his guest list.<span>  </span>Apparently, Poprah thinks she and Diddy are equals – it’s just their bank accounts that are different. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">I going to go out on a limb here, I would guess Diddy may not agree with the Poprah.<span>  </span>He mentioned how he cleaned toilets to make it, and here she is offended by having to have his cute little doggie to the doggie groomer.<span>  </span>Dear God woman!<span>  </span>You don’t get to where this man is by stomping all over people.<span>  </span>Oh wait, maybe that’s why we know who Diddy is, not Poprah.</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--StartFragment--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://elblogdeyoli.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/yoli-cama.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-66" title="yoli-cama" src="http://elblogdeyoli.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/yoli-cama.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="291" /></a>¡Hacía años que no disfrutaba tanto de un fin de semana! No es que haya sido el más excitante del mundo pero… ¡ahí estriba la razón de mi gozo y disfrute!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">La semana comenzó de los más anodina. Los típicos e-mails rezumantes de abuso de autoridad por parte de <strong>Susonia</strong>, pocas novedades en mi lucha por conseguir entrevistar a esa “periodista incisiva” para la portada del próximo número de <strong>MujerFabulosa</strong>, mi cuñado en viaje de negocios por Estados Unidos, mi hermana en viaje de placer por Estados Unidos, mis sobrina <strong>Deetah</strong> enfrascada en la vuelta a clase y mi sobrino <strong>Gregg</strong> volando hacia destinos insospechados mientras rompe corazones en cada aeropuerto. Lo mejor: ¡no tenía noticias de <strong>Esterlicia</strong>! (mi amiga de la infancia cuyo fin en la vida es parecerse a mi hermana y hundir mi existencia, que dicho sea de paso, parece tomar rumbo hacia algo coherente de nuevo.)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hacia el miércoles la rutina se tornó algo caprichosa y decidí llamar a mi amiga <strong>Natividad Aragonés</strong>. Juntas coincidimos en vernos el viernes para cenar y charlar tranquilamente. El jueves no hubo ningún acontecimiento que mereciera la pena destacar.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Así las cosas, el viernes después del trabajo tomé un taxi de vuelta a casa mientras me decidía por vigésimo novena vez a sacarme el carné de conducir. La decisión de romper con los tacones, los trajes de firma y adoptar el “<em>casual look</em>” como estilo para ir a trabajar me había ahorrado muchos dolores de cabeza y de pies. Pero quería llegar pronto para poder prepararme para la cita con Nati. Nos habíamos visto la semana anterior después de casi dos años. Ambas nos sentíamos extrañas pero la amistad tiene estas cosas y tras cinco minutos de incómodo silencio no paramos de reír. Volvíamos a ser las mismas.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Nati también se había divorciado. Ella tomó la decisión tiempo atrás. Cinco años de matrimonio, tres hijos y una vida que no era la suya. Triunfaba en su puesto de trabajo y de la nada había conseguido ser directora general de la compañía de seguros para la que había empezado a trabajar a los quince años. Aún conservaba un buen tipo y las canas hacían que los rizos en su pelo siempre corto resaltaran como la espuma sobre las olas del mar. No había recibido una educación exquisita pero siempre sabía cómo actuar adaptándose de manera asombrosa a las circunstancias. Desde hacía cuatro años compartía su vida con <strong>Corina Lamb</strong>, una prestigiosa abogada de origen americano (en otras circunstancias podría haberla descrito como una altísima y despampanante rubia diez años más joven que ella, pero seguro que en menos de lo que ladra Puff ¡tendría encima a la mitad de las formaciones pro-liberales contra la discriminación sexual!). Sí, Nati era lesbiana. Bueno, o bisexual… nunca la juzgué. Bastante tuvo con juzgarse a sí misma. A ella le gusta decir que no encuentra atractivo en los sexos sino en las personas. ¡Una forma como otra cualquiera de justificarse!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Llegué puntual a mi cita. Nati no. Ya lo tenía asumido: 30 minutos de retraso era lo esperado. Ahí sí que fue puntual. No habíamos reservado y decidimos meternos en el primer VIPS con el que nos cruzáramos mientras dábamos un paseo. Ambas necesitábamos aire. A pesar de mi adicción reconocida a la nicotina no me suele gustar fumar mientras ando por la calle. Ese día, no sé por qué, hice una excepción y encendí uno de mis pitillos mentolados. Era pronto y hacía una buena noche así que decidimos sentarnos en un banco para hacer algo que tiempo atrás nos divertía sobremanera: ver pasar a la gente. A algunos les criticábamos, otros nos causaban lástima, a muchos de ellos les teníamos envidia puesto que imaginábamos que sus vidas eran mucho mejores que las nuestras.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">La cena no fue gloriosa en cuanto a las viandas se refiere pero la compañía hizo que de nuevo me sintiera con la necesidad de poner los pies en la tierra. Nati volvió a insistir en que “Yoli” siempre sería “Yoli” y que a mí nunca me había hecho falta lucir prendas de marca o asistir a las mejores fiestas para ser diferente. Me halagó diciendo que “Yoli” es auténtica y que nunca había sentido la necesidad de justificarse. En ese momento me dí cuenta: durante los últimos dos meses de mi vida no he hecho más que justificar todos y cada uno de mis actos. Tenía razón. La semana pasada ya había tomado la decisión de volver a ser yo misma por fuera. Hoy sabía que lo más difícil estaba por llegar: volver a ser yo misma por dentro.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sobre la media noche Nati se ofreció a llevarme a casa en su coche. Yo acepté encantada.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">El sábado me desperté algo aturdida. Quizá la resaca del tabaco. O quizás el hecho de no haber dormido mucho pensando en las decisiones que tendría que tomar para recuperar mi antiguo yo. La verdad es que no puedo culpar a mi hermana, sus circunstancias, mi cuñado, ni siquiera a mi ex marido. Los cambios los forzamos nosotros mismos y quizás sean una respuesta a alguna amenaza invisible que acecha a nuestro ser cual serpiente tras el cogote.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">La mañana transcurrió tranquila. <strong>Gladis</strong> y yo nos llevamos muy bien y no pude resistirme a ayudarle con las tareas del hogar. Hacia el medio día una idea asaltó mi cabeza. Con prisa salí de casa. Cogí un taxi y le indiqué mi destino.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Habían pasado casi cinco años desde que nuestra madre había fallecido. Mari Carmen y yo en silencio decidimos no tocar la casa de nuestros padres en cierto sentido como medida de respeto. Hoy sabía que lo primero que tenía que hacer para volver a ser yo misma era volver a aquella casa. Gladis solía acudir una vez al mes para mantener la casa limpia. No hacía falta mucha vigilancia puesto que Roberto, el conserje, vivía en el mismo edificio. Me tembló el pulso al introducir la llave en la cerradura y tras algún intento fallido conseguí abrir la puerta de entrada. Era increíble pero aún me parecía oler los habanos de mi padre y el perfume intenso de olor afrutado de mi madre. Con prisa marqué el número de Deevah aún sabiendo que en Los Ángeles no era de día. Sorprendentemente contestó:</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst"><span><span>-<span>       </span></span></span>¡Hello!</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span><span>-<span>       </span></span></span>¿Mari Carmen? Disculpa que te moleste a estas horas pero necesitaba decirte esto…</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span><span>-<span>       </span></span></span>¡Yoli cariño! ¿Estás bien? ¡Pareces inquieta!</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span><span>-<span>       </span></span></span>¡Vuelvo a casa de mamá! No puedo pagarte la parte que te corresponde de ella aún pero ahorraré para hacerlo pronto. Esta misma tarde hago las maletas y me instalo.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span><span>-<span>       </span></span></span>¡Pero cielo! No te preocupes por el dinero… ¿Seguro que eso es lo que quieres? Sabes que puedes quedarte en casa todo el tiempo que haga falta.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span><span>-<span>       </span></span></span>Lo sé… ¡gracias! Pero ahora necesito volver a ser yo misma y empezar una nueva vida. Me has conseguido el trabajo y te estoy muy agradecida.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span><span>-<span>       </span></span></span>Cariño, está bien. El lunes en cuanto esté en Madrid hablaré con Gregg para que busque un buen arquitecto que pueda ayudarte con la reforma… ¡el piso está hecho un asco!</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast"><span><span>-<span>       </span></span></span>Gracias Mari Carmen, pero no quiero reformarlo. Llámame al lunes cuando llegues.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">¡Fíjate! La primera vez en mi vida que daba rienda suelta a mis impulsos. Quizá fuera la adrenalina liberada o la necesidad del cambio, pero estaba extática.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">La casa no estaba en perfecto estado pero tenía todo lo necesario para entrar a vivir. Decidí que poco a poco la convertiría en mi hogar. De momento necesitaba tener contacto directo con todos esos muebles y enseres que formaban parte de mi pasado. Volví a casa e hice las maletas.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Era extraño porque sentía la necesidad de estar sola y encontrarme a mí misma y a la vez me invadía un gran halo de soledad entre esas cuatro paredes otrora llenas de vida. Decidí volver a casa de Deevah y traerme a <strong>Puff</strong> para que pasara el fin de semana conmigo.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">El sábado me metí en la cama que antes habían ocupado mis padres y sentí un alivio muy grande. La sensación era reconfortante. Antes de dormirme pude disfrutar de nuevo con la lectura de mi libro favorito: “<em>Más grandes que el amor</em>” de <strong>Dominique Lapierre</strong>. Sabía que lo conservaba en la estantería de mi antiguo dormitorio. Puff pareció dormirse a mi lado sin una pizca de ansiedad y yo decidí seguir su ejemplo.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hoy lunes he tomado otra decisión importante pero de eso os hablaré a lo largo de los próximos días. Ahora tengo que seguir trabajando. Mi hermana debe de estar a punto de aterrizar. Hacía tiempo que no pensaba en ello pero tengo ganas de verla.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This guy P.Diddy, Sean Combs, Puff, whatever he goes by nowadays. Has another blog for y'all and now he's boasting that he has the most swag. Hmmmmm. Puff got swag, i will admit, but c'mon Diddy there are a bunch a Diddy clones with swagger just like that man. I think Puff honestly needs to leave the rapping alone. While i'm listening to this I can just imagine all the songs that B.I.G. had to kick P off of. LOL.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">Yay! So I finally was able to find the popcorn pen that Pauline has been wishing to buy!<br />
Found it in the Spotlight inside MegaBox and it was selling for HK$29.9 a piece! It was kinda expensive so I only bought 2 to try it out first!  </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><!--more--></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The popcorn pen basically expand  (with heat) and create a funny and cute 3D texture (just like how popcorn expands when it got heated up)....it could be used on paper or fabrics so it could be a lot of fun!!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We've reached the definitive conclusion: the top 3 songs ever about drugs, as chosen by a jury of me, Veiledindiehubris, in my infinite awesomeness.</p>
<p>————————————————————————————————-</p>
<p><strong>3- Puff, the Magic Dragon- Peter, Paul &#38; Mary</strong></p>
<p><!--[if gte mso 9]&#62;  Normal 0     false false false  EN-US X-NONE X-NONE              MicrosoftInternetExplorer4              &#60;![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]&#62;                                                                                                                                            &#60;![endif]--> <em><span style="font-size:11pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&#34;">A dragon lives forever but not so little boys<br />
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.</span></em></p>
<p>Perhaps the only song which is more vehemently denied to be about drugs than Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. All I have to say is that Peter, Paul, and Mary are all liars. A dragon named Puff (who is green by the way) hangs out with a little boy (whose last name is paper) in a magical land named after a pot-riddled Hawaiian town (Hanalei). More awesome than being liars; they've managed to convince several generations that this is a song about the childhood loss of innocence. Hell, they even awoke a love of dragons and fantasy at me when I was a kid, the TV short <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0262711/">"Puff, the Magic Dragon"</a> having been one of my favorite things in my formative years.</p>
<p>The fact that Peter, Paul, and Mary deny so vehemently that this song is written about drugs only makes it more hilarious, especially when you take a look at Mary Travers' dancing in the clip below. Now, I'm not saying that the song isn't *also* about the loss of innocence, but kids are basically high all the time anyways (ask Julian Lennon), so smoking a little pot to get into the right frame of mind to write a song about an imaginary friend is probably forgivable. Plus, if you had a moustache like Peter Yarrow, you'd probably want to forget about it too.</p>
<p><!--[if gte mso 9]&#62;  Normal 0     false false false  EN-US X-NONE X-NONE              MicrosoftInternetExplorer4              &#60;![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]&#62;                                                                                                                                            &#60;![endif]--></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>2- Cocaine- Eric Clapton</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if gte mso 9]&#62;  Normal 0     false false false  EN-US X-NONE X-NONE              MicrosoftInternetExplorer4              &#60;![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]&#62;                                                                                                                                            &#60;![endif]--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em>If you got bad news, you wanna kick them blues; cocaine.</em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Probably the song that overshadows the rest of Clapton's amazing career with the modern crowd, Cocaine is an unashamed shoutout to well... cocaine. Clapton, not the original performer of the song (that credit goes to J.J. Cale) has claimed that the song is actually anti-cocaine, but since he didn't write the song he has about as much credibility as Charles Darwin telling you that Thomas Paine's <em>Age of Reason </em>was written in support of Catholic Doctrine. Whatever you may think about Cocaine; the song is undeniable as one of the greatest of all time, nevermind in a list of songs about drugs.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>1- Joshua Giraffe- Raffi</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if gte mso 9]&#62;  Normal 0     false false false  EN-US X-NONE X-NONE              MicrosoftInternetExplorer4              &#60;![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]&#62;                                                                                                                                            &#60;![endif]--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;">That night a dream came to Joshua and</span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;">Joshua saw animals,like crazy monkeys</span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;">And a whole pile of</span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><em><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;">Hippypotostropasuses</span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal;">If the lyric above doesn't give it away, Raffi was definately dipping into Julian Lennon's Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds inspiring stash when he sat down (or perhaps paced the room, chewing off his fingernails)  to write this one. The first time I heard this song as a child I was frightened, until Joshua sung those immortal words "Nothing can go wrong-o, I'm in the Congo". Apparently Raffi was so high that he didn't realize that a whole lot of bad things have happened in the Congo (including the totally true story behind the <a href="http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=-FrSS36XUvs">movie</a>).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal;">I could say a whole lot more about how messed up this song is, but watching the poorly made fan-video and listening for yourself should do the trick.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal;">Warning- You may get a contact high</p>

<p>I was dying laughing at this first version.  Hearing Puff (by the way...I'm really glad he still calls himself Puff...he'll always be that to most of us) impersonate Ye, Hov, and Weezy was great.  And this video is on a level of nerd that myself and a lot of us can identify with.  Version 2 is after the jump.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mai Metalpuff, chiar nu stiu ce sa scriu, dar acest articol iti este dedicat in totalitate. E destul de aiurea sa ma apuc sa scriu fara sa am un subiect, dar, pt ca tu te plictisesti la munca sau pe unde te-oi plictisi tu, uite, de dragu tau, scriu fara noima acest minunat articol.</p>
<p>Voi incepe cu cateva vorbe de duh, care pot fi f bune statusuri de mes:<br />
"Am o intrebare retorica: Ce mai faci?"(asta am avut-o si eu cateva zile si sa stii ca prinde, adica s-au gasit cativa care sa ma bage in seama din cauza lui)<br />
"Daca n-ai treaba, intreaba-ma ceva !!!"(din aceeasi categorie)<br />
"<strong>Idle</strong>"(bolduit)<br />
"puuhh-lease"(asta l-am vazut la Chaka, era italic, probabil pt ca eram invizibil, si cred ca se referea la o firma de leasing"<br />
"sambata am fost in Fire, jos, si era rock si mult fum" (asta asa, ca fapt divers)<br />
"astea nu prea sunt vorbe de duh, astama ia la misto?"(cam asta ar trebui sa gandesti dupa ce ai cititi astea, dar, iti reamintesc, nu am ce sa scriu)<br />
"magazinu meu de vise nu mai vinde nimanui"(asta e de la Cristina)<br />
"Full me once, your mistake; full me twice, my mistake"(cre ca o stiai)<br />
"Si daca ramuri bat in geam... de ce nu tai copacul ???"<br />
"I love long walks in the nature... after anal..."(asta e de pe un site cu tricouri; asta era pt tipe... lol)<br />
"I hear voices in my head; can't understand shit, they're speaking french"(asta e de la Milka)</p>
<p>...</p>
<p>Ar mai fi destule, dar nu-mi vin acum. Dar, in alta ordine de idei, sa stii ca ma bucur ca am printre cititori si oameni care comenteaza ce scriu. Asa ca de-abia astept comentariile tale. Si sper sa te distrezi citind chestiile astea. Ca si io m-am distrat scriindu-le. Mersi pt comentarii si pt ca mi-ai amintit ca blogu asta e pt scris tampenii!</p>

<p><img src="http://img.skitch.com/20080916-prbh3jdqxbhxhj437i5gwej1fq.jpg"></p>
<p>- More Facts<br />
- More Details<br />
- More Investigative Journalism</p>
<p>See for yourself:</p>
<blockquote><p>Hillary Clinton struggled for years to achieve hair credibility. Now Ms. Palin’s upsweep is being praised and derided across the Internet. Do her bun and bangs signal that Ms. Palin does not want to attract attention to her appearance — even as she wants to remain presentably attractive?</p></blockquote>
<p>Followed by a zinger of facts and figures, even detailing the square footage of the salon Palin goes to:</p>
<blockquote><p>The ballerina-pink Beehive, in a 1,400-square-foot ranch house, is a cut-and-color shop. A haircut is $30, discounted to $20 if you get the $95 color treatment. In a downstairs nursery, the stylists’ babies play with mannequin heads. In a phone interview, Mrs. Steele, 37, described a kind of “Steel Magnolias” on permafrost, featuring Ms. Palin as a recurring presence.</p></blockquote>
<p>Illuminating:</p>
<blockquote><p>When Mrs. Steele expressed frustration with her industry, Ms. Palin told her to stop complaining and “run for something!” (She didn’t.)</p></blockquote>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://img.skitch.com/20080916-mshami4nnxbxmrchbraeahu3c3.jpg"></p>
<p>Waste of space #1:</p>
<blockquote><p>John McCain likes things that go fast, as we know not only from his career as a Navy pilot, but also from his appearance at a motorcycle rally in Sturgis, South Dakota last month. So it was very much in keeping with that penchant that Mr. McCain, back on the campaign trail after a day away, turned up Sunday at the Sylvania 300, a Nascar event held here each September.</p></blockquote>
<p>Waste of Space #2:</p>
<blockquote><p>Many reporters who fill the rear of the plane watched Tina Fey’s portrayal of Ms. Palin, the Republican vice presidential candidate, but <strong>were left to muse about</strong> what Ms. Palin herself had thought of it — or whether she had watched it at all.</p></blockquote>
<p>This, on a day where Krugman writes:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Will the U.S. financial system collapse today, or maybe over the next few days? I don’t think so — but I’m nowhere near certain. You see, Lehman Brothers, a major investment bank, is apparently about to go under. And nobody knows what will happen next.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<h2><span style="text-decoration:underline;">The NYTimes reporters for the Caucus are neglecting their role in this election.</span></h2>
<p>In covering this election cycle like we’re 52 weeks, rather than 52 days out from the election, they’re willfully surrendering their power, voice, dignity and responsibilities to the politicians who use them as an instrument to achieve and exploit their power.</p>

<description><![CDATA[
Mis queridísimos lectores - ¡uy, me siento como la otrora gran Silvia Jato en “pasapalabra”! ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--StartFragment--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://elblogdeyoli.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/deevah-revista.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-54" title="deevah-revista" src="http://elblogdeyoli.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/deevah-revista.jpg?w=226" alt="" width="226" height="300" /></a>Mis queridísimos lectores - ¡uy, me siento como la otrora gran <strong>Silvia Jato</strong> en “<em>pasapalabra</em>”! – han pasado casi diez días desde la última vez que me dispuse a haceros partícipes de las peripecias de esta vuestra servidora… ¡os he tenido abandonados! Bueno, para ser realista… ¡me he abandonado a mí misma durante estos diez días! Mi nuevo trabajo me tiene completamente absorta pero… ¡he triunfado! Por fin ha salido a la venta el número especial de la revista “<strong>Mujer Fabulosa</strong>” – gran publicación mensual de la que soy nueva ayudante de redacción – ¡y mi reportaje sobre Deevah están en portada!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">¡Qué orgullosa estoy! De mí misma y de mi hermana Mari Carmen. Se portó fenomenal aunque durante la sesión fotográfica que ilustra el reportaje me hiciera pasar ciertos momentos de apuro: entre que no podía con su alma de la cantidad de joyas que se había colocado encima y que el escote de su vaporosa camisa de satén de seda violeta no paraba de mostrar aquello que la naturaleza no le había dado pero que doce mil euros y unos días en la clínica le habían proporcionado, el fotógrafo no podía contener las lágrimas de la risa… ¡menos mal que no sabía que estábamos emparentadas!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ahora bien, todo tiene una parte buena y otra… menos buena - ¡hija esque no me queda más remedio que ser positiva estos días de crisis galopante! –. En el caso que nos ocupa podría decir que después de tener que aguantar las casi doce horas que duró la sesión de fotos; después de soportar las interminables charlas de Mari Carmen acerca de lo maravillosa que es su vida y sus deliberadas alteraciones de la verdad acerca de su pasado; después de pelearme durante días con un sistema operativo del que nunca había oído hablar – ¡ahora adoro las manzanas! – y después de redactar casi cinco páginas con un estilo impecable; el reportaje lo ha firma la gran, la estupenda, la fantástica ¡<strong>Susana Delgado</strong>! Por lo menos me consuela saber que ya me han encargado un estupendo reportaje para el mes que viene acerca de las mascotas de los famosos… ¿podré incluir a <strong>Puff</strong>?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">En otro orden de cosas, hoy es viernes y como tal en la redacción las luces se pagan a las 3 de la tarde y decidí darme una vuelta por el centro de Madrid – a pesar de la lluvia – y así airearme y de paso comprar algo de “medicina” mentolada que ando algo escasa. Cuando salía del portal en dirección al estanco mi mente pensó helarse por unos segundo hasta que pude reaccionar: a lo lejos se oía una voz estridente, casi un chillido, que silbaba mi nombre veinte o treinta decibelios por encima de la media recomendada por la UE, sin miedo a la vergüenza. Me di la vuelta y comprobé que el peor de mis miedos se hacía realidad: era <strong>Esterlicia Baldomero</strong>. Esterlicia mi mejor amiga durante la ya tan lejana etapa escolar. Luego la vida nos llevó por caminos diferentes: yo me casé y arruiné mi legado; ella se casó y aumentó su fortuna en unos cientos de millones de euros. A veces me pregunto si será casualidad volver a encontrarme rodeada de tantos millonarios… (nota mental: correré al estanco a jugar al <em>Euromillones</em>, ¡es una señal!). ¡En fin Serafín, cojo… en latín! Estaba acorralada. Me había dado la vuelta y ya no podía mirar hacia otro lado así que me acerqué a ella simulando un efusivo abrazo. Cuando nuestros carrillos se juntaron para darnos dos besos pude oler ese perfume barato que tanto le gustaba cuando éramos jóvenes. Será que el dinero lo compra todo menos el buen gusto. No pude evitar la típica conversación sin sentido de cinco minutos en los que ella repasa sus logros y éxitos y yo me hundo cada vez más en mi propia miseria, para terminar cediendo a mi subconsciente y dándole mi número de móvil. Dijo que me llamaría, yo le rogué que lo hiciera. Se dio la vuelta y se subió a un taxi. Yo me di la vuelta y continué caminando sobre unos tacones que me venían grandes. Entré en el estanco, pedí dos cartones, abrí un paquete y absorbí el humo como si el último pitillo que pudiera fumarme. En menos de un minuto no quedaban restos de papel en mis dedos y por poco me quemo.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">El hecho de reavivar fantasmas del pasado y de tener que reconocer para mis adentros que no he triunfado mucho en la vida ha trastocado algo mi día pero estoy contenta y sigo siendo positiva. Os voy a decir por qué: ¡porque hoy he recibido otro comentario en el blog! La familia está creciendo y pronto seréis miles de lectores y yo la escritora más influyente del país… eso si no terminamos todos con una manta de CDs piratas debajo de un puente a causa de la dichosa crisis… ¡qué difícil sería llegar a final de mes sin la visa oro de mi cuñado! Creo que voy a encenderme un pitillo, enfundarme en un chándal, encender la tele y tomarme un tarro de medio litro de heladito de mango - ¡que digo yo que siendo de fruta y de a 15€ el litro será más sano y engordará menos! – mientras pienso en cómo coño abordar las absurdas mascotas tuneadas de los famosos de medio pelo.</p>

<title><![CDATA[New York Times Does Front Page Puff Piece on Palin]]></title>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gripedujour.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/safariscreensnapz035.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-548" title="safariscreensnapz035" src="http://gripedujour.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/safariscreensnapz035.jpg" alt="" width="342" height="371" /></a></p>
<p>The national paper of record seems to have jumped on the Prom Queen express to Alaska and is using their front page to "report" on things such as white mochas, hockey moms, and get this: <em><strong>how "hockey in Alaska keeps kids on the straight and narrow".</strong></em></p>
<p>Did Jason Blair write this thing? Do they know anything about who the fuck Sarah Palin is and what kind of results her mothering skills have garnished?</p>
<p>Other totally sickening pieces of crap include this nugget:</p>
<blockquote><p>To understand hockey in Alaska is to understand something about the Palin family dynamic: Athletic drive seems to be as much a family trait as church-going and salmon fishing.</p></blockquote>
<p>If this is the "liberal" New York Times, it kinda makes you wonder what sort of sugar coated crap we're gonna hear out of ABC and Charlie Gibson later this week.</p>
<p><!--more-->Let's see, there is also this tear-jerker regarding Track's "hockey career" (such that it was):</p>
<blockquote><p>Track Palin, 19, is being deployed this week to Iraq with the Army, after separating his shoulder and abruptly giving up on a hockey career last year...</p></blockquote>
<p>Blah, blah, blah, hockey, hockey, hockey...</p>
<p>Track had shoulder surgery, his dream died.</p>
<p><strong>On Super Mom Sarah, Track's coach says: "She pretty much loved to watch her son and was engulfed with his level of play but she let me coach.”</strong></p>
<p>The sweet saccharin taste of the article dribbles on for two page, but well, you get the idea.</p>
<p>Thank God for the press. Thank God for the New York Times— without their fantastic incompetence  we woulda never gotten to go fight that glorious war in Iraq.</p>
<p>Full "story" <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/12/us/12hockeymom.html?pagewanted=1&#38;hp">here</a>.</p>
