"Hogan Knows Best" If you were one of the many swept up by Reality TV within the last few years, or a fan of professional wrestler, Hulk Hogan (Terry Bollea), then you probably tuned into the, then popular, "Hogan Knows Best" that aired on VH1 in 2006. The show was a spin-off of the 1950's show, "Father Knows Best" and focused on Hogan and the family (daughter Brooke & son Nick) trying to balance family life as well as their professional careers. The show was a refreshingly clean one to me, especially since the opposite, "Flava of Love" was around during the same time! In the show, the family seemed well balanced, only experiencing hiccups that any "normal" family does. Terry 'Hulk' and his wife Linda appeared to have a great relationship and like were in it for the long haul. Linda Hogan & boyfriend Charlie Hill This image, of course, became anything but "normal" after the show was cancelled ...

A recent study done on hundreds of subjects, has shown that Oxytocin, that lovely bonding hormone that makes sex and baby bonding so great, may be a 'wonder drug', helping shy people overcome their awkwardness in social settings.  This hormone naturally reduces anxiety and increases feelings of empathy and promote more in-depth connections between people. This is great because now, not only can people resorting to drugs and other substances to overcome their inhibitions benefit from it, but so can those suffering from Autism, as shown in other studies. Autistic persons tend to have lower levels of this hormone and so it can be a glimmer of hope as a potential treatment option for its sufferers. As exciting as it sounds though, we must take into consideration that it does no good for those of us who are already somewhat extroverted. Shyness can be debilitating in a modern society. Just imagine Celie from 'The Color Purple' being taken to Metropolis and left there! ...

Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. is a 36 year old Car Detailer, who has been for about 10 years and aspiring singer. This was the final clip of the show America's Got Talent , and probably was for good reason. I was very happy I caught this part, as it was quite an emotional one for me and many others! Landau came on, stood in front of the judges chewing gum and acting really weird. I say that because he was giggling, quite awkwardly, I guess from nervousness, and it seemed like he was going to make an absolute fool of himself! By watching the show pretty often, I think I have a knack for knowing when someone's about to mortify themselves.  He clearly was a Howie Mandel fan and even did a 'mini' impression of him. After that first impression of gum chewing, Piers said that that wasn't a particularly good idea, after which he removed it, then shoved it into his pocket as if nothing at all had happened. Sharon, noticeably disturbed with all of that, then told him to begin t...

Joel & Paul McCartney While on the topic of television, I was fortunate enough to catch a Billy Joel concert on PBS last night as well! Boy did I have an active TV night! I had a tough time deciding which of the two was going to be better. He performed at the Shea Stadium in New York, with over 110,000 fans all eager to feel the rhythm of this incredibly talented man, but they got soOOo much more, with emotionally charged performances by Tony Bennet, John Mayer & even country super-star Garth Brookes AND Sir Paul McCartney! This show had me rocking, singing, dancing, strumming, yelling and almost in tears all at the same time. Taking place in July 2008, t his was the "last rock & roll performance" to be held there, as the stadium was torn down in 2009.  'Piano Man' - Billy Joel at The Shea. I have come to know and love Billy Joel ever since early childhood, seeing that he was one of my Step Dad's favourites and had owned just about all of his c...

I haven't really been out anywhere for a few days, (more like a week!) and so I've had plenty of time to think, do mundane household chores and complete tasks that I've been putting off for what seems like forever! Did I mention, watch TV?! Some really interesting shows were on, surprisingly, and I finally had time to actually watch a few.  I'm not that much of a TV person these days. Besides watching a bit of educational programs like The Doctors, other PBS shows, a few talk shows like Oprah, Ellen and Wendy or a tad bit of junk like The Kardashians, I'd rather be reading, writing or doing something more constructive. Then, of course Milani practically rules the box with Nickelodeon!  Well, last night, I had planned to watch the 5th NBA Finals game because I was pulling for the Dallas Mavericks. For some reason, I love that team. I do like the Heat as well, but not as much. It was a real close game up to the very end, then the Mavs' started leading by 5 or m...

"Had a hard day! What shall I choose?" These days, everyone is doing something or another for a 'quick fix'. With all of the chaoses of a modern society, when you finally get to relax and/or have a drink (or 2, or 3), you seem to have a sense of entitlement. Somehow, you feel as though you've "earned" it because of how hard your day was.  At least that's how I feel, dammit! After a long day of working, doing millions of household chores, chasing and yelling behind the kids AND trying to workout, I see absolutely nothing wrong with chillin' and "sippin' a Sands" when that break finally comes. My personal fav, an ice cold Heiney, would be even better. Then... of course if you're REALLY stressed out, a lemon Mojito or glass of Bailey's would be quite fitting. (Spiked please)! Then comes the smokers. I've been smoking off and on since I was about 12 or 13, thanks to a Jamaican housekeeper we had at the time, named Marv...
