...and another one...

...Because 4 videos in one day is clearly not enough!

This is a clip from the show Glee. I have never seen this show, but after seeing this, I might start watching it now (although I can't make any promises).

As much as I can't stand the Beyonce song "Single Ladies" I love that the choreography from the music video has become such an instantly recognizable dance. I never get tired of seeing people re-enact the video, and it is especially entertaining when it is totally unexpected (Justin Timberlake, football players, etc).



This on-field dance is ALMOST better than the bit from Remember the Titans. Note I said almost.

Snotty but Beautiful

Ok, ok. I know I've been a little heavy on the video posts lataely, but they are just so good!

The following videos are part of an ad series for Trigon BlueCross BlueShield and they are ADORABLE. You almost always win me over with a cute kid (thank you Welch's Grape Juice and Kix cereal). The little boy in the first two is definitely my favorite, but the east coast girl could definitely be related to some of my great aunts, so I like her too.

There are four, but they're each 30 seconds so calm down. Watch them all and enjoy:

I'm Alive & Well

I love both of these artists and the song is oh-so-perfect for me right now. Please enjoy the video and the lyrics below.




Im Alive (Dave Matthews & Kenny Chesney)

It's so damn easy to say that life's so hard
Everybody's got their share of battle scars
As for me, I'd like to thank my lucky stars
That I'm alive and well

And it'd be easy to add up all the pain
And all the dreams you sat and watched go up in flames
You were on, on the wreckage as it smolders in the rain
But not me, I'm alive

And today you know that's good enough for me
Breathing in and out's a blessing, can't you see?
Today is the first day of the rest of my life
And I'm alive and well, God, I'm alive and well

Stars are dancing on the water here tonight
It's good for the soul when there's not a soul in sight
This boat has caught it's wind and brought me back to life
Now I'm alive and well

And today you know that's good enough for me
Breathing in and out's a blessing, can't you see?
Today is the first day of the rest of my life
And I'm alive and well, God, I'm alive and well

As seen on TV

WTF? I can't believe this is for real:



Maintain what dignity?? That is unbelievable!

I love to get it in the can.

Birds of Paradise

There are 2 stories about my favorite animal making headlines today.

(What is my favorite animal, you ask? Why the Pink Flamingo of course! Is there any other animal that can automatically signify fun, summer, happy hour cocktails, beauty, the beach, and awesomeness just by standing on one leg? I beg you to find one...)

First of all, Madison, Wisconsin has deemed the Plastic Pink Flamingo as their city's official bird. I love it. I will come visit your city for that reason alone. The vote passed with 15-4 in favor of the bird. To those 4 that said No, I say "If you don't like it, you can move."


Second story of the day is a flamingo chick birth at Woodland Park Zoo last week. The birth of the Chilean Flamingo chick is the first birth of it's kind in the history of the zoo.
This little fluffball is so cute:

There are three more eggs being incubated now, which should hatch in the next few days.


Little known fact: Flamingos are actually born white (obvious by the picture). They turn pink due to carotene in the shrimp they eat. Also, the brighter the flamingo, the more desirable they are as a mate. Maybe that's where the term "Hot Pink" originated?? :)
