"Eep Opp Ork Ah Ah" Means I'm Crazy
The other day Anne Heche was on The View to promote her new movie, Cedar Rapids. I thought to myself, "Yes! Barbara's gonna bring up that interview!". You know...the one where Heche called herself "Celestia" and claimed she spoke to god in alien language, which she then proceeded to use in the interview with Ms. Walters. But, no. No mention. Typical. I just wish Barbara would have said, "Tell me...have you spoken to god lately, Celestia?". Instead, there was a whole lot of ass kissing and Hollywood hoopla. Because she's an actress, she's an artist and not crazy. In other words, if David Koresh or some other nut job who thought they were the messiah was an actor, then we'd be praising them for their work. "Did you see David Koresh in the Notebook. I love him!" Hollywood is lame.
Cake Pops Are The New Cupcake
Cupcakes. They're everywhere. It was one of the biggest food trends in the past couple of years. And people were going nuts for them. Myself included. People all over were leaving their careers just to start a cupcake business. Now you can't turn a corner without seeing a cupcake store. Or, turn on the tv without seeing a cupcake war. And like any major trend it became played. Cupcakes are over...man!
And then I saw it. Move over cupcake here comes the Cake Pop. A delicious bite of yummy cake on a stick. Just a taste of indulgence. (Did I really just write that? Fuck it, it stays. Cause that's what it is.) I bought this cake pop from good 'ol Starbucks and it was awesome. I crave it. Maybe I'll start a cake pop business. I think there's a cupcake store down the street for sale.

What's In Your Water?
I just found out that there are 19 pollutants in my tap water. 11 of which exceed the legal limit. (I was wondering why I suddenly grew gills.)

Cancer, Hyperactivity, Allergic Reactions...Oh My!
I found this informative article on the dangers of synthetic food dyes. Fifteen million pounds of this shit gets dumped into our food each year. These dyes have been linked to cancer, hyperactivity and allergic reactions. Europe requires a warning label on foods containing these dyes. So, why don't we?

It's the End of the World As We Know It... And I'm Too Poor
Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Terrorism, the Mayan Calendar! I'm obsessed with the world's newest hot topic... The End of Days. And, apparently I'm not alone. I often think about what I would do if the shit went down. Sure, I can get an emergency preparedness kit, but that's just going to prolong my inevitable doom. I mean...what's a 5 gallon bucket to poop in gonna do for me if it's the end?
Then I found it. The company that promises luxury living in an apocalyptic society. YES! Vivos Doomsday Bunkers. Said to withstand any disaster. I thought, "This is it. We're saved!"...until...I saw the price. $50,000 per person. Whah, whah! Whose got $50,000 to spend on a what if? I'll tell you who...the rich. It's no longer survival of the fittest, but survival of the richest. And again the poor are screwed. I guess the post-apocalyptic society will include the likes of Donald Trump, Justin Bieber and the Kardashians. On second thought, I choose death.

Organic Brands and Their Ties To Major Corporations
Do you know someone that says, "I only buy organic brands. I don't trust big corporate food brands"? (Ok...I might have been that person.) Well, now you can shut them up by informing them who really owns their trusted organic brand.
