I never thought I would hear this on TV.

Ok, so just so that I don't keep ya all waiting, this post has to do with Lady Gaga. A new-on-the-scene performer who more than once makes my ears perk-up and my head tilt.

Her lyrics are bad-a*s, ok ok ok ... maybe not so bad a*s, more like slightly awesome, and as a big plus some of her songs are quite enjoyable. So you must understand why it is that I loved this interview, for all its gaganess and freshness.


Yes you heard it right "A Really Big Donkey Dick"....Bravo Lady Gaga, I love you even more now. Finally there is some variety in media language. Oooooh.. let the vocabulary craziness begin!!

Love you all,
more posts to come :)

Like a Fox!

A fox is pretty, furry, awesome, and quite the diver !

I'm sharing this video with you because it's awesome, here's a fox that can dive better than I can after practicing and doing more than my fair share of belly-flops (which incidentally really hurt).

A Word Up to My Fellow Sisters!!

I love women, I always have and always will. In whatever circumstances I always give women more props than men, and I've always told everyone if I was a man I would be a ladies-man through-and-through. Alas I am not a man, and oddly have not developed a sexual attraction to women, granted I appreciate their bodies immensely.

This brings me to a revelation I wanted to share with you, as much as I love human women this type of respect translates to all other species. This is where I want to introduce you to the Ant. A Brazilian ant species that has evolved to clone itself and decided to leave-out the male specimen. Yes, this ant colony is all female and thanks to this they are the most productive farmers on earth (within the ant spectrum).

I'm not saying that males are expandable, but it does pose some really interesting things one can ponder in the late of night with a cup of ice-cream.

I am aware of the fact that this could be flipped, but as such men are still not able to carry babies to term so I will continue to be flamboyant about this topic and enjoy the "what-if" :)

I Hate the Taliban

I try and be optimistic, I try and understand where people come from and different points of view. But, today I reached a level of anger I haven't experienced in a long time. Specifically this was thanks to a cell-phone video of a girl being whipped, because she was "maybe" seen with a married man (this is apparently a maybe b/c only one neighbour allegedly saw her talking to him near her house).

The Taliban have made huge inroads into Pakistan, and due to the fu*ked-up mess the US left in Afghanistan, the crazy mother-fu**ers have began their rein of terrorizing women. How sick these bastards must be. Yes perhaps I'm not being culturally sensitive, but it just makes me sick to see a girl scream in pain, and a circle of old decrepit men standing around gloating. I just do not understand how little respect you must have for another human being, namely women, to do such unjust things. All the more reason to pressure the Pakistani government into patrolling their region better. Yes I am aware of the difficulty of this, not to mention the meddling of the US and their left-over crap, but woman's rights are being systematically stripped and its hard to stand-by and watch this.

More action, less crap like this is allowed to happen.

A Call to Save Bluefin Tuna

I love sushi, and a few day's ago as I walked along Bloor, I found to my utter disbelief that my favourite shushi place was bordered up and closed down. I almost cried, I even dreamed the following night of talking to the owner and asking where the sushi-chef had gone so I could follow him...yes it is quite a commitement, almost an unspoken love I had of the place. Not because that was the only sushi place in Toronto, but because Osaka Sushi was the only place I found had the best veggie sushi. Their shitake mushroom roll has been a staple of my diet for years, and now I will never taste its succulent flavour.

This got me thinking about the crazy world of real sushi, with raw fish. It got me thinking that perhaps everyone who has been gulping down sea-food sushi has been implicit in the culture of destroying our oceans.

Think of the Bluefin Tuna...a crazy big fish, that can live up to 30 years and be as long as 14 feet. A top predator to say the least. The Norther Bluefin Tuna is native to the Atlantic, and in Canada has a rich history. Yes, I bet you didn't know that Canada had Tuna, especially this giant one, that makes the mouths of the Japanese or sushi-lovers the world over salivate. Well now you know, and you should also know that the population has seen upwards of an 80% decline in population.

So why do I care about this, because our oceans are being systematically killed, not so much by global warming or pollution, but because we are fishing them out and not giving a DAMN about it.

How disgusting can we as humans get, that we pay so little attention that we let this travesty go by. I a long time ago said no to sea-food, the only seafood I eat now is well grown Spirulina, and seaweed. Not because I hated the taste, far from it, but because I cared enough and made a choice.

So please make a choice, and look into what is happening with our oceans. I am not asking you to stop eating all fish, if you do not want to, but to be smart about the fish you eat. Below I am providing some links, so take a look and make your choice. Bluefin Tuna as well as Sharks and millions of other sea-animals are at stake, more so it is all of the earth.
