Check This Out!

Okay,

I wasn't planning on doing another post until right before or after Christmas but I ran across this little thing and had to share it with everyone:

*click on the side bar video*

The best part about this dance, is that I actually know all the moves these guys are doing. In fact if anyone knows who videos these, I have a few suggestions I think they could add to it if they do another one next year.

Let briefly explain the players involved here. If I could pick a posse to chorography a dance here. 1. Me (of course) someone needs to run the show 2. Edward, someone that has lived as long as he has is of course going to know a lot of moves people have never seen. 3. Zac Efron, you have to admit the guy has moves. 4. Tony Stark / Ironman. It was a toss up between him and Justin Timberlake but when it comes down to it we need someone to bring the people out. As you all know, nobody brings in a crowd like Ironman. 5. I could'nt think of a fifth member, so as long as I picking the dream team, I would pick another one of me. Hey, it's my blog.

Merry Christmas!

One More Week!

I can't believe that Christmas is only a week away. Seriously, where did the time go this year. I'm really going to try extra hard to sit back and enjoy this week. I wanted to write down some suggestions of traditions I have that I think you might enjoy:

1. Hot Cocoa, warm Jammies, and good book

2. Watch a favorite Christmas movie (I recommend Santa Claus 3. Tim Allen + Martin Short = me laughing on the floor)

3. Carolling (Although I wouldn't recommend doing this by yourself, your reception will be much better if you take others with you....I learned this the hard way.)

4. Sledding: I actually don't do this anymore. Although I was really good at it, my tailbone is WAY too sensitive. Now I'm happy just to watch.

5. Presents: Nothing gets me into the Christmas spirit like when I get presents.


I almost forgot the results of the contest: The best Christmas Shrimp receipe. (The strange part is that it was the same two people that submitted receipes as last weeks competition, I think that filter on my computer may be set too high).

So the winner is "n" with

LEMON SHRIMP GELATIN DELIGHT

Although this took way longer then I thought, It was a definite hit. (I was a little aprehensive about it because I had to improvise on some of the ingredients. I actually need to rename it
LEMON "CLAM" GELATIN DELIGHT - I was in such a hurry at the store I picked up the wrong can. Everybody still loved it. I set it down, went to the bathroom and when I came out it was gone. So as promised here are the blueprints to my Ironman costume.

Anyway, I need to resolve a concern that a couple of bloggers had about who whould win in a fight between Ironman and Edward. A pretty good match-up, although realistically I really don't think they would ever have something to fight about. They really stand for much of the same things. However, if it did happen, I would put my money on Edward = for the simple fact that he could sneak into Tony Starks house and steal an extra Ironman suit. He would have to use his Vampire soul to power the suit, but then he would be a vampire in the most advanced mechanical weapon of our time. That is a tough match-up for Tony Stark.

So enjoy the Holidays! my next post will be about new years resolutions. This is probably the most important post a life coach can give so get ready. If you have resolutions that you are considering please let me know. I can help make your dreams come true!

First Contest Results

Thanks for the questions. Excellent points from everyone. Although I have to disqualify "n" from the contest as his/her question had no reference to "Christmas." So by default the winner goes to "Remuda." However, I hate to disapoint but I found out a couple days ago (after spending a hour arguing with the customer service representative that my computer only has a CD Rom and can't actually "burn" DVD's. That is why I was having so much trouble getting it to work. But here are the links to the songs I was going to burn:
1. One Week: I already posted this link (I have the whole thing memorized)
2. Complicated: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGXYAJoDWCk (My favorite song to lip sync)
3. One Night in Bangkok: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgmoEHnUpjk (Old school classic)
4. Another day in Paradise: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftlYLcEW_I4 (Any Phil Collins song could be on this list.)
5. Streets of Philidelphia: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9L9_8vwx2w8&feature=related (I have a lot of nostalgia for this song....It's a long story.)
6. Truely, Madly, Deeply: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6Dg1Ymji-Q (If they ever made a poem into a song, in my book, this would be it. )
7. Drops of Jupiter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xXQFnIEf_Q (This song reminds me of me.)
Anyway, there are lots more but it is taking forever to copy and paste them.
Moving on...
Remuda, asks a challenging question. While I love everything about Christmas. I have to say Halloween is top on my list for one simple reason... COSTUMES. When it comes to dressing up, like everything I do, I give it 100%. Guess what I was this year? No it wasn't Edward. I'm not even that big of a fan. (I want to make it clear that I am not a 100% beliver in vampires. Probably only like 10% - 15%.) I AM IRONMAN! (was).


Belive it or not, this is not a photo from the actual Ironman movie. This is a photo of me on my deck wearing a replica costume I spent countless hours assembling this summer. At work on Halloween, I actually had people tell me it looked more real then the one in the movie. I would happen to agree. Hope that answers your question about my favorite Holiday. Don't get me wrong Christmas is also awesome!
Speaking of Christmas, I wanted to throw this out to everybody for suggetions. I am in charge of bringing an appetizer to a real estate networking holiday party next week. I was going to bring my famous tray of Shrimp (Nobody knows but I actually get it at Costco). but thought I might mix it up with something more original. So the new contest is whoever sends the winning receipe will win. The Prize = a copy of the blueprints for my Ironman Suit as well as lots of tips on how to assemble it quickly (I have already been through the learning curve).
Lastly: Tip of the day: "If you wish you had more time in the day, just remember everybody has the same amount 24 hours. It's up to you to make sure your day is the best day it can be."

The Holidays are Here!



Hope everyone had a Fantastic Thanksgiving. I know that I did. There is nothing like the Holidays! One of the highlights was when my cousin Kenny and I went to see Twilight. I was a little apprehensive about it. (I hate when they ruin awesome books with movies) but after seeing it---WOW! They got it right on. and the choice of actors....Remind you of anyone?

Crazy huh? Most people go there whole life without meeting their "double." What's even cooler is that our personalities are so similar. That movie really inspired me to want look into my anscestory. I've always wondered where my extraordinary passion for life, adventure and danger come from. Plus, I am really strong for my size. Don't get me wrong, I know there are no such thing as vampires but if there were, I wouldn't be suprised if I had vampire blood in me.
Anyway, as I promised I will always leave my blog with an inspiring thought. (I am also checking with blogspot about some technical difficultly. I haven't received any questions from my base, some computer glitch I'm sure) Here is the ray of sunshine for the day.
"Whenever life gives you lemons....make lemonade, and then drink the whole pitcher!!!
You only live once, live it LARGE!
Also, As a little incentive to jumpstart my blog I am having a little contest. Please send me yourChristmas questions. The contest is simple, the best question WINS! The winner will not only get excellent (and free) advice, but they will receive a DVD I compiled of the best songs of all times. Here is a little taste of of what will be on the disc:
Enjoy
