People Watching
In a Starbucks right now, more out of necessity than choice, but in a Starbucks nonetheless. It dawned on me that people watching may be one of the best activities ever. It can be done anywhere at anytime and can be entertaining for hours. Here I am, giving the impression that I'm hard at work on something important, but no. I am writing a blog about watching people interact with other people, coming and going, carrying on their daily lives. And it is fantastic. I overheard some loud woman on her cell phone talking about 'Smokies'. If you don't know, Smokies are cocktail hotdog wieners (weiners?). So here she is, dumping half and half and sugar into her latte, rambling on with some other shiksa about how much her kids "just love Smokies", and I'm thinking two things; 1)her kids are probably obese and 2) I am scared to get a woman pregnant and have her body go to shit. Sorry if anyone is offended by this, but it bothers the hell out of me. I know it's insensitive, but it needs to be said. Women, don't use pregnancy as an excuse to let yourself go. Stay in shape while you're gestating. If Hollywood can do it, so can the average lady. Guys, you know what I'm talking about. Anyway, so all of this came about as a product of people watching in a Starbucks. I won't even start to describe the barista who is high on God knows what. Looks a little like Lou Diamond Phillips, somewhere between La Bamba and Young Guns. I wish someone was with me to witness this.
People watching. It's kinda like... - BS

Women Drivers...
I think in a lot of states, it's illegal to drive with a cell phone only because of women and the accidents they cause. I was driving home from work today and saw a woman drive 10 miles an hour below the speak limit (45 mph). I couldn't pass but when I finally had the opportunity I saw this lady laughing her ass off on the cell phone. I guess she missed the right turn she was going to make and decided she should do it from the left lane... Too bad there was another car there. I made a left through a light and couldn't stop, but if I could... I would have just to tell her what a dumb ass she was. I didn't get this on tape but found some highlights of some other dumb women drivers. Enjoy!!

Concerned
When people used to talk about global warming, I didn't take it very seriously. I mean, I always knew there was a problem, but I guess I never wanted to think about how serious it was. Today in NY, we set a record today when the temperature reached 90 degrees. 90 degrees. I have talked about it before in a previous post, so I guess I am quite concerned. Take a look at some of these facts.
• Average temperatures have climbed 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit (0.8 degree Celsius) around the world since 1880, much of this in recent decades, according to NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
• The rate of warming is increasing. The 20th century's last two decades were the hottest in 400 years and possibly the warmest for several millennia, according to a number of climate studies. And the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports that 11 of the past 12 years are among the dozen warmest since 1850.
• The Arctic is feeling the effects the most. Average temperatures in Alaska, western Canada, and eastern Russia have risen at twice the global average, according to the multinational Arctic Climate Impact Assessment report compiled between 2000 and 2004.
• Arctic ice is rapidly disappearing, and the region may have its first completely ice-free summer by 2040 or earlier. Polar bears and indigenous cultures are already suffering from the sea-ice loss.
• Glaciers and mountain snows are rapidly melting—for example, Montana's Glacier National Park now has only 27 glaciers, versus 150 in 1910. In the Northern Hemisphere, thaws also come a week earlier in spring and freezes begin a week later.
• Industrialization, deforestation, and pollution have greatly increased atmospheric concentrations of water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, all greenhouse gases that help trap heat near Earth's surface. (See an interactive feature on how global warming works.)
• Humans are pouring carbon dioxide into the atmosphere much faster than plants and oceans can absorb it.
Wow.

Goldman Sachs Bailout
I like the Daily Show with John Stewert. He's a funny guy and calls out a lot of people for being shady or just plain stupid. I liked his take on Goldman Sach's recent $1.5 billion profit
It's kinda like... -D-

Ill Make Him an Offer
So last night I had 3 hours to kill, so I threw in what I think is the best movie of all time. I think this sound byte says it all.
The Godfather. Yes of course, the timeless 1972 crime drama that was adapted from the amazing novel by Mario Puzo. The movie was directed by Franics Coppola and stars Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, and bunch of others. This movie one the academy award for best picture, best actor, and best adapted screen play, and actually, is the only movie to ever win best picture for a sequel in Godfather II.
There are so many great, great scenes but I thought I'd list some of mine, and hoped to get your comments on yours. Of course, who can forget the scene when Jack Woltz does not give Johnny Fontane the part in the film. So, the Godfather makes him an offer he can't refuse.
Or what about the scene in the Italian restaurant, when Michael and Solozzo sit down for a nice meal with that crooked police captain McCluskey. Michael excuses himself to go to the bathroom, and when he comes out...well...its kinda like...
Who can forget this classic line...
Alright alright, that's my version, let me know what u think.
The Godfather, It's Kinda Like.
