A Few Thoughts

1. Playboy and Virgin Galactic are making plans for a gentleman's club in space. Weird but if it gets us up there quicker, I'm all for it. There are conceptual art pictures for a restaraunt and a dance area on Space.com. Go there and check it out.

2. I recently read that a sixteen year old killed his mother over a Playstation. Isn't that so stupid?! He hit her with a claw hammer while she was sleeping and that didn't kill her, so he tried to burn her in the oven. Messed up world we live in. And that kid is so fucked up.

3. Anorexia and boys. How did this go without some sort of attention for as long as it did? When I was in high school, my doctor told me that I was anorexic. I starved myself and walked for hours on end and I still thought I was fat....

4. Whitney Houston was buried in gold shoes? Like real gold? Can anyone confirm this? It's on the cover of a magazine we sell at work and I'd like to see these gold shoes... lol.

5. I am addicted to a new game series for the PS3. I'll divulge more on this topic in May when the final game in the PS3 trilogy is released. :) HURRY UP MAY!

6. Arizona southern style sweet tea in the 23 ounce can is good. I miss Milo's tea but things change. :( If you drink the Arizona brand, do NOT get the amber bottle of it. It does NOT taste as good as it does in the can. Don't ask me why because I have no clue.

7. Tennessee weather is strange. It's February but shorts are a total possibility for outdoor wear today.... Hmmm...

8. Even numbers are better than odd ones. There really isn't an eighth point but I thought I'd add one instead of leaving this piost at 7 points.... lol.

Have a listen to the following! :D

The Travel Channel

I have to rant about this online in hopes that some higher up at the Travel Channel HQ will see this and do something about it.

I love the travel channel........when they're showing travel shows only.

Why all of this Man vs Food and ghost hunting crap?!!?!

Look, TC, Samantha Brown, Tony Bourdain, Andrew Zimmern, Marcus Sakey and even Bridget Marquardt are WAY better than the ghost crap and almost all of those I listed are better than Man vs Food. Maybe if Man vs Food guy were to travel around the WORLD and eat, then I could see the show being on your network.

Food is important but TRAVEL doesn't make me think of food first and foremost...as your line-up is kind of making it. (Minus the ghost junk on this note. It just doesn't even belong on your channel. Give that crap to the SCI FI channel. Let them have it and cancel it. Or NBC.)

Here are some important notes for ya, TC.

1. Samantha Brown is your best commodity. RUN HER SHOWS INTO THE GROUND!!!! Make her go everywhere! Samantha Brown's Asia was amazing. Make her do other stuff like that!

2. When it comes to food, Tony Bourdain has the PERFECT mix of it and travel. He's even got some points OVER Zimmern! (Andrew's an eater. Tony, though a food guy, shows so much culture and history before, during and while pigging out!)

3. Let me win one of your travel contests! (This one is more of a joke but I seriously entered almost all of your contests back in the day and I stopped because like with the lottery, it really is a slim chance.... :(

4. Even thought I used her name, Bridget Marquardt doesn't need a show on your channel UNLESS you are bringing her back to replace the ghost crap. She's obviously way sluttier than you want your channel portrayed to be.

5. Here's some ideas for shows for your network. Use them. Don't credit me. I don't care.
   1. Have more Samantha Brown shows.
   2. Have more Tony Bourdain shows but more Samantha than Tony.
   3. Cancel everything with the word GHOST in the title unless it's some sort of psychic traveling and telling you about 'ghosts' while showing you a place....instead of hunting ghosts...
   4. Look at number 3. Have a show where the hosts travels and shares mythological information. There's plenty of that crap in the  world.
   5. Have a series dedicated to Native peoples. Maybe.
   6. INUIT stuff is nifty. Show more of that.
   7. I saw some show you guys had with a dark haired woman on a boat and I tried to remember her name but I cannot. She went crab fishing if that helps. Well, that woman needs her own hour long program! Give it to her!!!!
   8. Do a series of shows for select places, like Tony Bourdain in Russia for a Month or something like that. Have them live there for a bit and let us see it! That is such an interesting idea!!!! GO FOR THAT! Have brown haird chick from number 7 do a place, Tony in another and Sam in another!!!

Now, TC, you've got some thinking to do. Hope the outcome is marvelous. :)

Be a Good Baby, Do What I Want.

We were born to die.





I love Lana Del Rey (real name is Elizabeth Grant....) but she's taking a lot of heat due to her odd SNL performance. She is nervous on stage, you hate mongers.... Gawd.

Listen to her and love her.
