like a fish out of the Grammys

Your body is a water boy? Well - John Mayer seems to think so and he makes a very interesting and comforting point in saying so!

John attended the Oscars this Sunday with gal pal Jennifer Aniston and when asked about attending he said according to a Ryan Seacrest / KIIS-FM interview... "It's not my world, the Oscar thing, but [Jen] was so sweet to me that night, because you can go from a Grammy winner to a water boy when you walk into the Kodak Theatre on Oscar night."

So even famous singers are made of 80% water and are vulnerable like the rest of us?! Thanks for being honest about how hard shifting scenes can be, John. We all feel like a fish out of the Grammys sometimes ;) Good to know that its normal even for the bigger boys to feel that way.

make a slam dunk

Yahoo News is swishing about LeBron James' half-court dunk! So what makes this trick shot, part of a horse game, actual Yahoo news? Perhaps its the magic of 'ya never know.' Of course you need talent and training - but after that sometimes being in the right place and a little luck can go a long way. The look of shock on Mr. James' face shows us all how amazed we can become with ourselves... especially when we least expect to make a slam dunk. Believe in yor abilities... is that all you need? Well take a look at this video for yourself > SWISH VIDEO!

Put some Rhythm in your Blues!

Though the economy is challenging and many people are struggling - last night Jennifer Hudson showed us all how to stand back up... tall. She took center stage at the Grammy's and thanked her family in heaven as well as those present as she accepted the award for Best R&B Album. We all have hardships... YET!... we are alive and can make a difference in this world, every day if we choose to. Thanks Jennifer for reminding us how to sing with soul.

Neither pen nor sword

Sometimes a pen can be mightier than a guillotine.

If you logged on to Yahoo or Google today you have read the headlines about Stephen King and his statement that "Stephenie Meyer can't write worth a darn."

Mr. King! Mr. King! I am a fanatic fan of yours - BUT - chopping some one's head off for no particular reason - is only entertaining in your horror stories. In real life... your words are called cruelty. Call me Pollyanna, but freedom of speech should not mean freedom to slander. We all have opinions and you are certainly a master of your craft. That said.... Twilight is a phenomenon and Stephenie Meyer is not Carrie at your prom.
