Sander van Doorn – Intro

I felt the need to post this song in order for it to receive more credit, and so it will be remembered years from now when I look back at this page.

This song is UHHHmazing because I feel as if I can dance to it forever, and isn’t that the most important part?

Music is like a brand; something you can identify yourself with.

Enjoy:)

Ellen DeGeneres & Sofia Vergara Covergirl Commercial

After elaborating on some older ad campaigns for Apple, I want to take a minute and applaud Procter & Gamble on it’s original and humorous way of promoting Cover Girl’s new 2 tone rehab foundation. Instead of just having a pretty face representing the product, they took a different route by adding humor and truth; making the ad memorable.

Crazy Ones – Think Different – Apple

This definitely takes the cake on being my favorite ad.

“The people who are crazy enough to think that they could change the world, are the ones who do.”
-Chiat/Day

I love this ad because it doesn’t just promote Apple and it’s capabilities, but it encourages others to take pride in their originality and expose it. Not only does it embrace the truth, but it is an inspiration to everybody.

1984 Apple’s Macintosh Commercial

I will always be a fan of this commercial. It did more than change technology, it changed society. It opened an unfamiliar doorway, and took an advertising risk that had never been made. This is definitely one of my favorite ads because it represents the beginning of a new movement not only in the advertising industry, but in the world. Apple and it’s marketing team created a revolution in one minute, and I admire that.

Really? No…Really?

This past Friday,the Cordoba Initiative released a proposal to build a mosque in place of Ground Zero, where the Twin Towers once stood, and proudly represented New York City. Many organizations are fighting against this proposal while others look highly upon it.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is not one of those groups: “The immediate object of the League is to stop, by appeals to reason and conscience and, if necessary, by appeals to law, the defamation of the Jewish people. Its ultimate purpose is to secure justice and fair treatment to all citizens alike and to put an end forever to unjust and unfair discrimination against and ridicule of any sect or body of citizens.

“In our judgment, building an Islamic Center in the shadow of the World Trade Center will cause some victims more pain – unnecessarily – and that is not right.” Stated an ADL member who protested among others in front of Ground Zero.

Do you think this is right? To construct an Islamic center in place of the Two Twin Towers, where thousands died in the hands of two Islamic terrorists? Why not a library? Church? Synagogue? Hell, even a school…It’s as if the Cordoba Initiative are spitting on every relative or friend who had a loved one that was killed in 9/11. Shame on them.

Come Play in The Jungle 2010

So, if you haven’t heard…

There was a rave for a children’s benefit called P.L.A.Y in Calabasus, CA this past weekend. Ages 17-35 (perhaps older), attended and alcohol was a given.  The mansion that held the benefit had 57 rooms inside, an elephant, hippopotamus, camels, 4 pools, an air-balloon, water slides, and a DJ provided the guests entertainment from 2pm-8pm.

BUT I guess that wasn’t enough..because people thought that getting obnoxiously drunk was the highlight of the event. At 2pm, everyone was sweating from the 97 degree weather and couldn’t wait to get into the pool. It was relaxing at first, conversation were being held, drinks and snacks were given out, and people were dancing as if it was prom. That prom scene didn’t last long, as people danced on each other like animals and had sex in the pool which was once clean and innocent. Fights broke out, and I seriously thought that someone was going to drown…

WHY??? why do people take advantage of drugs and alcohol? Why do they think they need it to have a good time and then use it as an excuse when they do something wrong or dirty? What happened to the good ol’days? The P.L.A.Y benefit was an overall success as more than a thousand people payed $50 for their tickets and brought gifts for the children. It was also fun and entertaining and I look forward to the rave IIII, but I really hope that it doesn’t literally turn into a jungle again…

A 3.6-Magnitude Earthquake That Surprised Thousands

On Friday at 5 a.m., a 3.6-magnitude earthquake woke up people living across the Baltimore area as well as in “D.C. Virginia, Pennsylvania and Delaware. People in Columbia, Owings Mills, Carroll County, and Odenton.” currently no reports of significant injuries but geologists are shocked since a severe earthquake has not hit that region of the US since one that occurred in the year of 1758 and one in 1939.

LA Times claims: Alvin Borenstein of Randallstown said the quake woke up his entire household.
“All of a sudden, we felt the house shake,” he said. “It woke my granddaughter up, it woke my son up, and it woke me and my wife up. The house shook. We didn’t know what it was.”
Of his 60 years in Randallstown, he said he’s never had an experience like that one.

A Family Visit Turns Into a Tragedy

When Rikki Menora, 16; Rachel Menora, 14; and Sara Klein, 17, went to visit their grandparents in Chicago, IL, their parents never thought that they would never see them again. A plane piloted by their grandfather, Moshe Menora;73, and his four grandchildren visiting from Israel, crashed in Michigan’s upper peninsula on Wednesday, July 14, around 10:15am.

The mother of three was in Italy with one of their siblings while their father was in Michigan. They flew to the crash immediately as any grief-stricken parent would and learned that their youngest child, Nathaniel Joseph “Yossi” Menorah survived by being thrown out of the plane as his siblings, cousin, and grandfather died instantly. He is currently in critical condition with burns that cover fifty percent of his body.The grandfather,

Moshe Menora had 30 years of experience as a pilot, and had just celebrated his 50th wedding anniversary with his wife, Sema Menora last March.

My condolences go out to the parents, grandmother, and siblings. May you never have to go through another tragedy again…

Never take the ones you love for granted.

76 World Cup Fans Dead in Uganda

News reports have released that: “The Somali Islamic militant group al-Shabab says they were behind the bombings at two sites in Uganda’s capital, Kampala.  The al-Qaida-linked group said the attacks were revenge for Uganda’s participation in an African Union peacekeeping force that supports the Somali government, and that more attacks would follow.
Most of those who died Sunday were watching the World Cup on big-screen televisions at a rugby club in Kampala.  The others died in a blast that targeted an Ethiopian restaurant. Police said at least 60 of the victims in Sunday’s bombings were Ugandans.  The others included people from Ethiopia or Eritrea, one American aid worker, an Irish woman and one Asian.”

How tragic. Terrorists continue to murder innocent people to demonstrate their extreme beliefs, when will this end? Follow more on this story at: http://www1.voanews.com/english/news/

Mel Gibson shouldn’t be allowed to speak.

This past monday, Mel Gibson was recorded threatening to kill his former girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva. He also admitted punching her in the face twice while she was holding their young daughter: “You were hitting a woman with a child in her hands? What kind of a man is that? Breaking her teeth twice in the face! What kind of man is that?” she asks.
Gibson begins to taunt and mock her, saying, “Oh, you’re all angry now! You know what, you f—ing deserved it!”

First anti-semitic remarks and now this? What ever happened to the Mel we know from “The Patriot” or “Braveheart” or even “What Women Want”. Yet another actor is flushed down the drain because he doesn’t know the fine line between the camera and reality; when to speak up and when to shut-up. What a shame.
