Angela loves, and stella gets her groove again.



Angela Merkel, (Definitely not pictured left) the Chancellor of Germany, was snapped whilst getting changed into her swimming suit, (from behind) published by the classy British Tabloids. Now she is not a young girl, and she doesn't have the build of a supermodel. However, she is an amazing woman. I would imagine she is acutely embarrassed but she shows her character, by expressing she will not sue, adding that she believes people will condemn the papers instead. Oh the price of fame. A German newspaper exclaimed they would take their frustration out upon the Brits on the football/soccer field. You may want to catch the England vs Germany match, after of course, watching the Aussies..... the World Cup is only 49 days away!

Trivia, extraordinaire..... Oh m-eye goodness, fee fi fo fum, do I have one for you. I have updated the standings again, see my profile (on left)and am interested to see if you can help on THIS one. I will attach a full 10 points on this one, which will lift nearly anyone closer to the grand prize. Congrats to "dadost" for guessing the last one. As mentioned before I will be giving the winner a MASSIVE amount of money, which you can put towards your trip to visit, Canberra. Trust me on this one, it will be well worth it. Seriously. I have a cunning plan.... and no the bank will not be broken, it will be robbed! This one will be a bit subjective because it will also add opinion. Question! Can you tell me who the artiste is of the phone booth below. Is it art? Is it grafitti? This artist is known for sneaking into prestigious art galleries and planting his own painting amongst the big expensive ones... until he is discovered.

" I must say, Jeeves, can you get the name of that paticular piece? It is quite riveting. I may add it to my collec....."

".....Uh sir, that is not art at all, it is a fiend who takes advantage of this beautiful gallery. I am going to have it removed!"

"Aah yes, I was just saying, it is riveting in such a foul way. Yes good, take it away. What common trash."

I like his style. heh heh.




Well, an ode to products. Just like the shirt above,(ain't that kewl) there is food that you love, but your body hates. Contradiction? Cheesecake. You know I LOVE it! ( Raw Sewage... I LOVE IT.- leslie nielson makes me laugh- where that diversion came from I just don't know) Back to the first sentence. I love cake. But alas, my ever expanding pot belly doesn't. Another one is the old adage, that if it tastes like sawdust, it must be good for you. eg. your body loves it, but your taste buds hate it. Now, take this with you today please. Note the sugar levels of products. I used Coke as the standard and was surprised to notice just how much sugar we are consuming. Apple juice, chocolate milk, various health juices, and many more have just as much, or more sugar than good ole Coke. Its funny in a way, that we will try, while waiting in line at the cafe to be a bit more healthy, and instead of choosing that evil sugary drink, we will choose the healthy choice.... which until you read the fine print is actually just as evil. Check er out.

Chankslee, went on a no sugar diet about 8 weeks ago. Alas, he couldn't last, but he will start again, when the chocolate temtations of easter subside. He lost over 4 kgs (9lbs.) He didn't change anything else except the consumption of sugar. To this day, he will still not add sugar to his evil coffee habit.

I found this one fun, hope you did 2

Chankslee, now that is art I can appreciate. That red color is amazing. Love-hate, yes, such a deep message. The girl isn't bad either. More art like that, please! The phone booth is definatly art as well. That red again, wonderful. The emotion, it's just rivetting.

His name is Banksy and he snuck this work of art into Soho district of London.

While on some level it has been considered vandelism of personal property it is however a form of art after all isn't art really someones personal impression, an expression of themselves....just because I like rock music and you may hate it and prefer classical doesn't mean it's wrong. Just different.


He is expressing himself in an artistic manner and while it may not be my personal favourite he is still infact expressing himself.

as I continue to ponder this a bit more I have also realised that it's quite an ingenious way to get your name out there


I mean really look at all the publicity he gets for his work,, after all isn't that how we make a name for ourselves as artist? Look at the world of Hollywood they started out with some pretty interesting roles, had to stick their necks out.....Tom Cruise goes crazy on Oprah , bam the talk of the town, Britney marrys some odd man lets really play that up bam she's everywhere.....Brad Pitt is with Angelia Bam he's popular on every tabloid and the talk of the town. Outrages stunts get you known,, being known makes you fameous, fame is what many hunger after......maybe fame will fill their void and give them that sense of purpose that they hunger after.....maybe that will be their driving force???

I don't believe it's a painting, I think it's a photograph.
Sucrose is bad for you, fructose is good for you. Just because juice drinks have as much sugar in them as coca cola doesn't mean they're just as bad for you. Have you ever actually put a nail in a cup of coke? Try it. That's what your teeth are going through. Pull the nail out a couple of days or a week later, depending on how feisty a nail it is, and you'll see.
I can't decide whether I'd prefer to see her shirt say love on it and hate in the reflection instead of the way it is in the picture. Maybe if I invert the photograph I'll see for sure which I like better. You can do that, y'know?
I'm in Merritt BC. The weather's here, wish you were beautiful. chanks, your taste in subject matter is impeccable. Your taste in friends is fantastic. Your appeal is unshakable. Don't stop eating sugar. We like you that way.

Jealousy is a trait exhibited by those who are immature, disrespectful, domineering, and unwilling to co-operate. If God is prone to jealousy then God needs to seek therapy just as much as any human being who has the same problem. Jealousy is also a sign of weakness. Anyone who tells you that they're jealous of someone else and doesn't want you talking to them is usually scared because deep down they think the other person is better in some important way.
