Make It Naked

Making stuff in the buff...

Bill Gates Is Funny!

Bill Gates farewell video.

What I wanna know is... $7 for a haircut?! Where?!

Beverly Loves Me

Beverly has been sitting on the couch at my sister's house staring at me intently for the past hour.

Although I can't be certain, I'm pretty sure she's thinking about how much she loves me.

Ha ha... this reminds me of this video:

Yorkies

Sometimes when I can't sleep, I search for Yorkie videos on YouTube.

Aww shoot... did I seriously just admit that?

Some of them are so good, though! Like, you have to see this one. Boots the Yorkie died, so his owner made a video about him. Grab a tissue.

Now, I don't know about you, but I have tears streaming down my face right now. I mean, I can't even begin to imagine the day something happens to Elvis or Bev. I'm so making one of these videos for them...

Bev & Mommy

Scott's Music Video

My old roommate Scott made a music video for "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" by (Jefferson) Starship starring his brother, Ryan, and his brother's wife, Lindsey.

Pay close attention around 3:08. Scott has a small cameo and rocks out with an electric acoustic guitar. It's hot.

Good WGA Videos

Writers of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report put the following videos on YouTube. They're very funny.

This video breaks down what the WGA is fighing for:



And these two video show how CEOs contradict themselves when it comes to studios making money from new media:

Pretty In Pink

I bought this cute hoodie for my nephew Jack today at Brooklyn Industries.


When I told my sister that it had pink lettering on it, she was like, "Pink?"

It doesn't look girly, does it? I mean, sure... pink's traditionally a feminine color, but a lot of men wear it today. Case in point, Ashton Kutcher in a pretty pink suit...


He's all dude in that thing... and that's a whole lotta pink.

And there's nothing girly about the guy from "The Office" in this pic...


Jim's looking good fo sho.

And how can I leave out the leading men in Bollywood as seen in this FABULOUS YouTube video...

India (and Aerosmith) knows what's up. Pink's not just for the ladies anymore.

(Poor Jack... Next week I'll have him I lavender booties.)

Karyn Loves Artanker

You have to watch this video I found via Curbed. It totally seems like something you'd see on SNL, like the guy in it would be played by Will Ferrell.

His name is Artanker and he's a musician and an "interloper."

in·ter·lop·er (ĭn'tər-lō'pər)
noun

1. One that interferes with the affairs of others, often for selfish reasons; a meddler.
2. One that intrudes in a place, situation, or activity.

I need to go to Kensington and meet him.


UPDATE: I can't get enough of Artanker. I love him. I found his MySpace page and you'll never guess what was on it... an extended version of the above video:

His voice is so soothing. He needs to come out with a meditation CD of some kind. Or maybe a hynosis CD. He could help people stop smoking.

Superficial

My friend made this video. I told him I'd link to it.

Superficial

The Britney line makes me ache, but otherwise it's funny.

UPDATE: The video made it to the front page of Heavy.com as a featured video. Yay nameless friend!

My Starbucks Music Video

Did you know that if you buy a Starbucks gift card you can get two free iTunes downloads? You can. I'm at Starbucks right now and just bought one for Elvis' cat sitter, Chris the songrwriter, as a little thank you for taking care of my baby. I got one for myself, too, for the free music.

So anyway, I just downloaded the new Jennifer Lopez song "Do It Well." It's one of those sassy songs that makes me wanna move. Like I'm having a problem sitting still in my seat right now. I wanna stand up and strut around this joint like I own it. I wanna sing and dance like I'm in a music video. I can imagine it now... I'd go from table to table and sing...

"I ain't ever met a man like that—NOOO!
I ain't ever fell so far, so fast—NOOO!
You can turn me on, throw me off track
Boy you do it, do it
You do it, do it
You're doin' it well!"

All the customers would go to take a sip of their coffee but spill it down their chins when they see me. And then I'd jump up on the tables and start hopping around, kicking pumpkin cream cheese muffins everywhere. One would hit a really grumpy manager in the head and he'd get angry and come up to me and try to kick me out, but I'd take ahold of his green apron and tell them how it is so he'd back off. This would make all the baristas happy because they really hate him, so they'd start getting into it, throwing coffee beans around and flipping cups in the air like Tom Cruise in "Cocktail." Pretty soon the whole place would be singing and dancing in unison, and the manager would be pissed so we'd lock him up in the pastry case. He'd bang on the little glass window to get out, but we'd ignore him and keep on dancing like we were in "Grease" or something.


That would be fun.

But back to reality.

I also bought the new Alicia Keys song, "No One." It's sooo good.


Oh! One more random thing that's kinda related to the above because it's about music...

I tried to teach Nora the "Umbrella" song about a month ago. Yes, she's only two years old, but it's a nice, clean song with a friendly message so I thought it was okay. Anyway, I didn't think she was getting it, so I sort of gave up, but the other day my sister said they were at the park and Nora came down the slide and went, "Under my umbrella, ella, ella, ay, ay, ay..."

Love her.

Terra Naomi & Lissie

I went to go see this singer-songwriter last night named Terra Naomi. She was at The Hotel Cafe and she was very good. My favorite song of hers is called "The Vicodin Song."

Visit her MySpace page and give her a listen.

Opening for Terra was a girl named Lissie. I really liked her, maybe even more than Terra. After listening to the songs on her MySpace page though, I've decided she sounds better live. She stands barefoot on stage with a guitar and stomps around when she sings. I found this video of her on YouTube. It's pretty good, but she doesn't stomp around in it.



PS - Lissie's MySpace page says that she sang at Demi and Ashton's wedding. Ha ha.. neato.

I Wanna Be A Rock Star

My dad retired to Arizona a few years ago and, to keep himself busy, got a job working security at a stadium in Phoenix. In addition to working sporting events, he gets to work during concerts as well and it's always funny to hear his take on these. (After a Rolling Stones concert, for example, his big observation was... "That Mick Jagger sure has a lot of energy.")

About a month ago he told me about a big "acid rock" band that was coming called "Nickelodeon." (Nickelback.) I'm not a big fan of acid rock or Nickelback, for that matter, but I love the video for their new song "Rockstar."

This is definitely one of those songs that you like more after seeing the video.

BTW... who says "acid rock" anymore?

Attention All You Tetris Fans

I found two great things for you.

The first is an actual game you can play on the internet called Pootris.

(Pootris = Poo + Tetris.)

It's totally gross, but kind of addictive. It's also one of those things you should forward to every guy you know, because they'll no doubt think it's the greatest thing ever.

From the Pootris website...

It's toilet time, and you're about to explode. Unfortunately, taking a dump is a little more challenging than it used to be. You'll have to get the pipes from the toilet to the sewer, or you could experience some seriously smelly overflow in this Tetris/Pipedream hybrid game."

Warning: if you're at work, you might want to turn down the volume on your computer. The website plays really obnoxious music.

The second thing I found is a video of a Japanese game show called "Human Tetris."



Enjoy!

St. Elmo's Fire

St. Elmo's Fire is on Oxygen right now, and that Rob Lowe... he's so cute in this movie. I mean, he's still good-looking, but he was so cute back then.

Oh, and Demi Moore... she's just fabulous in this movie, too. She plays "Jules." Remember? She had a raging drug and alcohol problem and a pink apartment with a huge picture of Billy Idol painted on the wall (which at the time was so cool.)

I found a picture of it on the internet:


Love her. I'm going to be Jules for Halloween.

Actually, a good group costume would be going as the group from St. Elmo's Fire.

Here's a nice video:

Birthday Girl

My niece Nora turned two this past weekend. To celebrate, we had a family party on Sunday (I was feeling better and NOT contagious!) and then went to the park.

Isn't she the cutest thing ever?!





Here's the best video ever of Nora singing to her brother/my nephew, Jack. YOU HAVE TO WATCH THE LAST TEN SECONDS. Something really remarkable happens.

"Jack Made Mess!" from Karyn Bosnak and Vimeo.

And here's another, in case you just can't get enough, like me.


Nora Singing from Karyn Bosnak and Vimeo.


In case you're wondering what she's singing, the first song is the "Sunny Day!" song from Sesame Street, and the second is a song that Andrea Bocelli sings with Elmo, a take-off on "Time to Say Goodbye" called "Time to Say Goodnight."

Please Meet JayVideo

I meant to post this weeks ago.

I've been watching this guy's videos on YouTube for a while now and he's so funny. His name is Jay Grandin or "JayVideo" and he's from Canada. My favorite of his videos have to do with a giant inflatable penis. Let me explain why.

A few years ago, my friend Tracy had to bring a grab-bag gift to a Christmas party at WORK. While out shopping, she ran across something called "Captain Pecker the Party Recker: The Amazing Inflatable 6-foot Party Penis You Can Punch"...


...and decided it was the perfect gift.

It didn't go over too well. Most people bought candles and gift certificates, and Tracy bought "Captain Pecker the Party Recker: The Amazing Inflatable 6-foot Party Penis You Can Punch." (You have to say the whole name every time you talk about it.) I laugh every time I think about this.

Anyway, "Captain Pecker the Party Recker: The Amazing Inflatable 6-foot Party Penis You Can Punch" is the star of three of Jay's videos. Here they are; you should watch them in this order. (The last one is my favorite.)

A Day With a Giant Penis

Date With a Giant Penis

You Can't Say Penis on MySpace

The reason I'm telling you about Jay is because he and his friend (girlfriend?) are in the middle of an exciting European Adventure and are looking for places to stay! I don't know them personally, but they seem like pretty harmless people, so if you can put them up for a couple days, let Jay know. They are on their way to Germany and Switzerland right now. For more information on Jay's European Adventure and to contact Jay, visit:

Creature Comforts

I'm watching a new show on CBS called "Creature Comforts" and it's really, really funny.





From a recent article in the Washington Post...

Take heart, channel surfers. The first bright spot of the hot months arrives... and we've got a bunch of animated animals to thank for it.

Created by the British company responsible for the popular "Wallace & Gromit" movies, "Creature Comforts," an animated half-hour comedy debuting tonight at 8 on CBS, is clever and often hilarious.

The premise? The show's producers record the voices of "real people" throughout the country as they talk about everyday topics such as doctor visits, keeping secrets and the attraction between the sexes. These voices are bestowed upon various animal characters who all bear that familiar Claymationed "Wallace & Gromit" look.

Here's a clip:



The CBS website has tons more video.

Sarah Silverman on Paris at the MTV Awards

(Not literally "on" on... That would really be something though, no?)

Reason #4,512 why I love Sarah Silverman.

OMG, it was so rude and distasteful... but so freakin' funny.

UPDATE: I just watched a video of Paris in a car on the way to jail, and I feel kind of bad. She was sitting in the backseat with her mom and they were both wiping away tears. I'm a person who has to learn by making mistakes, like you can't tell me the stove's hot, I need to burn my hand on it to learn. Perhaps she's the same way; there's no doubt in my mind that the girl's sorry for what she did.

But then again, is she sorry only because she's going to jail? Or is she sorry because she realized what she did could have resulted in this? (Warning: link is graphic.) But if she learned a lesson, does the road she took to get there matter?

On another note, while I don't envy her sentence, I'm seething with jealously that she got one of these before me.

The Truth About "Nut Brackets" by Alexyss K. Tylor

NOTE: The following post contains sexually explicit content.

I got my hot little hands on a SECOND Alexyss K. Tylor video clip and had to share it with you. This one is a special Halloween episode. In it, Alexyss discusses Vagina Power and Penis Power with her mother, and is dressed up as a pilot because she's "piloting the pussssssyy!" Meow!

Lessons learned from this episode:

• Y'all got to be the pussy police, because if y'all don't be careful these men you are committing to is giving the dick away that's got to go up in your vagina.
  
• A lot of men done took the wedding band off the finger because they know the wedding band is gonna be a noose around the nuts, a true "nut bracket" to lock them in and keep them in check so they don't give it to nobody else.
• The penis and the testicles have no discretion because the pussy ain't got no face.
• Men give dick away.
• A lot of men try to meet up with other women to ration a piece of the dick out.
• Government-rationed cheese is good but hard. It constipates and run up all in you and locks your bowels up.
• Men got to keep their nuts busy.
• Men get a "tingling" all in their nuts when their nuts bored.

Scroll down or click here to see the first Alexyss K. Tylor Pussy Power video.

Alexyss' show, "Pussy Power," is on Atlanta Public Access TV9 at 9pm on Wednesdays.

One World

Do you all know how YouTube works?

When people post videos, you can respond in two ways. You can leave a text comment like you do on blogs, or you can leave a video comment, where you actually tape yourself responding to whatever it is the person said/posted.

With that said, back in April some guy posted a video called "One World," in which he asked people to "make a stand, make a statement, make a difference. Write something, anything, on your hand and share it with the world. What will you choose to write?" Here it is:

The video received over 3,000 text comments and over 2,000 video responses from people all over the world. Almost everyone wrote "feel good" messages on their hands, things along the lines of...

One Love
Peace
Be Kind
Smile Often
Love Everyone

You can see the responses here.

After going through a number of them, I decided to jump on the bandwagon. However, I didn't just make my own response, I convinced Elvis to make one as well. Here they are:
