NEWS JUST IN: It seems dog owners are getting a bit more than what they bargained for this christmas season from their K9 friends. While human crime is dropping rapidly, doggy rape is growing at an alarming rate in neighboring countries.
Sources say dogs all around the world are feeling the ‘heat’ more than ever and are beginning to look to their owners for sexual satisfaction. Dog experts are baffled in trying to find the core cause for this disorder. We spoke with Animal Channel TV Host, Ceaser Millian from the Dog Whisperer television show to try to get a better understanding of just what is causing such a horny outbreak among the k9 kingdom. Though he declined to tell us, he did however provide us with video footage. Indeed, these dogs are in bad shape. The MNN (Mainee National News) sends our best to the families of dog owners at this delicate time. Our hearts go out to you.

I’ve always been proud of my white teeth. Yea, I said it. I like to tell myself I’ve got the whitest little pearlys in the whole wide world. Did I mention Im referring to my pre-coffee problem days? Aren’t you happy I’m finally accepting I have a problem? Its the first step you know?
Where was I? Oh yea, the whitest teeth. So since my coffee binge, I’ve been making a point to give the ol’e chiclets a good scrub more frequently throughout the day. Its a good habit to get into but hard to pickup. One of the things that helped was torturing myself with photos of old Irish men with rotten teeth. I’d hate for people to assume I eat bugs for a living at some sick bug factory in asia judging by my toothsies. And who wants that right?
Oh, and I thought I’d mention someone used my toothbrush yesterday! I mean, thats gross. C’mon, whoever it was, quit it. I have to go spend $14.00 for a new toothbrush now. And that comes out of my coffee fund. How appropriate.
UPDATE: Thanks for the new toothbrush Sam!

Remember that cool kid in 8th grade? The one everyone wanted to give their cheese sandwich to in exchange for their friendship (or soul)? Samantha Barbie is her. I think its fair to say Im a people person. I love meeting new people. But if someone paid me a million Milano cookies to tell the truth, I’d have to say one of my favorite new people I’ve met in the last few months would be Sam.
She may not know this but she is one of the few people who inspire me if not everyday, at least a few days out of the week. She’s right up there with Steve Jobs, Layla Robinson and Matt Hayes. We can’t help but be attracted to the charismatic energy people demonstrate and the confidence the posses. Its something we all want and enjoy.
Sam was originally a student at a music school I was affiliated with. After her piano lesson one day she wondered into my office in her rain-boots, where I was playing my guitar, and boldly asked me to teach her. Of course, I accepted. Me being the guy I was and eager to teach the art of the acoustic guitar we began free lessons which continue to this day. Sam has learned so much in the short few months we’ve known each other and I look forward to learning from her every week.
The Funny, daring, sexy, talented, witty, curious, smart and of course drop dead gorgeous Sam! She’s exactly what thousands of men like me are looking for in a woman these days. There aren’t much girls like this in Bermuda. Ill give my left arm for a clone machine right about now. Anyone?

Deck the halls with boughs and holly, Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la, la, la! Seriously though, how annoying is that song? Its almost christmas time already! Gee, it felt like it was just June last week thursday and here we are again, standing on the door step of the most expensive holiday ever.
I’ve never gotten excited about Christmas. I just love the weather this time of year. Maybe more than I like the actual holiday. I find myself cranking up the A/C even in the summer just so I could get cozy under my bed. There’s nothing like a hot cup of coffee… okay, okay, hot coco and a good book to keep you busy during the cold nights. Maybe even an attractive woman rubbing your feet and singing Christmas carols until you fall asleep too, well maybe thats pushing it.
I have a huge list this Christmas. It includes, mac stuff, mac stuff and more mac stuff. Thats all anyone really needs in life anyway right? Who needs all that mushy love stuff when you have great Apple products to show your affection to? I think my address smeared off of Santa’s list anyway. Damn you and your magic markers Mrs. Clause!
Oh, and before I forget. Here’s that annoying “Deck the Halls” song [link]
Seriously though. I hope everyone has a safe and happy Christmas.

Breakfast pots banging in the second story kitchen above my head. Annoying sounds of my MSN Messenger buddies trying to get my attention. The sound of my TV on mute from the previous night. These are the sounds of my Sunday mornings (and yes, my television does make a sound while muted. I’ve been meaning to get that fixed).
Those sounds are never my choice to wake to, but if I’d had a choice every Sunday before this one, I’d have chosen to hear Sia Furler’s voice easily waking me out of my slumber.
Sia is a Australian pop singer with a truly amazing style and mind blowing voice to go with it. Though she hasn’t been in the music scene commercially for years now, she is still one of my favorite artist. Her music had/has the potential to move millions of copies worldwide, especially after signing a recording contract for 3 albums.
The last we heard from her was the songs “Breathe Me” and “Sunday“. Where is she now? Is she planning an album for 2008? Is she working at a Starbucks in Brazil? Who knows?
I recently came across some of her latest. Yes, her latest in a few sessions at a US college. Again, Im in love with Sia all over again. I like to think she’s coming back. I’ve posted a few of the session’s YouTube links below for your pleasure.

Have you ever seen those lame commercials where someone would be talking then suddenly they say something corny like “Hey guys, I… I don’t think I feel so good”? Then the “Mr. Rogers Sound-alike dude” begins to tell you how many out of how many people suffer from a certain disorder or illness? Well yea, I was in one of those commercials last night, only I didn’t realize it.
It must have been knocking around 12am and I was preparing for my usual late night date with my computer (hey! don’t judge me). I had just got in from dinner and the smile on my face could have annoyed the world’s most miserable person when suddenly my stomach threw a ranging fit. I shifted and turned in bed assuming it was only gas and maybe a belch or a ‘back door burb’ would help the bubbles burst. No. The more ginger ale I drank, the sicker I got.
Around 1:30am my stomach really brought on the pain. It was behaving like a complete bitch. Really, totally uncalled for. I attempted to crawl out of bed to the bathroom to see if I could summon the spirits in my belly into the toilet. My legs gave way from my weakness, my vision totally failed me and I visited Europe instead of a trip to the bathroom right there on my bedroom floor! Gross, I know. I spent the next 3 hours fighting the monster in my stomach and finally fell asleep with a bad fever and a hate for the world.
I woke up the next morning feeling slightly disoriented but for the most part, better. I had the best sleep ever after that and spent the day in and out of lala land. It all happened too sudden. My aunt says there’s a 1 day stomach bug going around. I say Karma just kicked my ass. What do you think?
UPDATE: It hurts when I burp and laugh now. How weird.

I come across it all the time. People who are unhappy with their jobs; people who are stuck in relationships; people who live to please others. I’m one of them at times. I don’t have all the answers. I’d be surprised if I had even a few. But I’ve came across a pretty interesting article that I’ve broken down for my blog that could help out with this. Its called ‘7 Rules to Living’.
Rule One: Never let another person dictate the terms for living your life.
Not your parents. Not your spouse. Not your kids. Leading your life means you can accept the input of other people, but the final decision is yours. This means that career choice, relationships, beliefs and way of life are to be judged by you, not anyone else.
This rule holds especially when you have doubts. Don’t let your moment of doubt become a weakness to be exploited by others. Not sure what you want to do with your life? Don’t sit passively and let other people decide for you.
Rule Four: You come first in relationships.
Do you know people that can’t stand being single? They get out of one bad relationship only to jump into the next.
Why? Because they put too much of their needs dependent on that other person. Without emotional and possibly financial support, they can’t survive.
In any relationship you need to be the person that comes first. That means that while you might enjoy the relationship, it doesn’t become the major purpose in your life.
Your purpose and leading your life must come before any relationship you enter. The surprising fact is that when you do this, you are able to have healthier personal and intimate relationships because there is no need for jealousy or possession.
Rule Six: Anything you lack can be trained.
Never accept a fatalistic view of life. So you’ve been told you lack the intelligence, willpower, strength or charisma to do something? Ignore them. So you’ve told yourself that you lack the talent? Ignore yourself.
Begin with the assumption that anything can be trained and you’ll find few exceptions. I used to be a shy, introverted kid. Recently some friends described me as an extreme extrovert, being unafraid to meet new people and having honed my abilities to speak in front of crowds. Begin with the belief that you have no idea where your talents are until you train them.
