Jay Lenno

Everybody: Stop worrying about Jay Lenno and which show he will host.. He is a veteran, an old timer, he doesn`t care as long as he rules his show... Common everyone loves him no matter where his stand up is. I would go and see him at a local club if he wasn`t on TV anymore...

Be seen on the giant screens of Times Square!

This Saturday the 24th of October 2009 the annual international day of climate action is happening! One website dedicated to the event is 350.

On this platform anyone anywhere can check out what is going on in their local city on that day and how to get involved on the 350 world map.

"Already, over 4000 creative events are being planned in over 170 countries - from the slopes of Mt. Everest to the underwater reefs of the Maldive Islands, to the parks and streets of your own communities. Activists will be uploading images of their events in real-time to both the 350.org website and on the giant screens of Times Square. By day's end, there will be an unprecedented global gallery of images and stories, enough to make both old media and new ring out with this crucial number."

As I live in Hollywood I definitely want to draw attention to the fact that anyone can dress in bright orange and take some pictures in front of the Hollywood sign this saturday :0). I am serious people: Think of it like an early Halloween and take the kids or make it a happening with friends. You can find the directions to this event here.

Marilyn, the innocent dumb blonde

Back in the day Marilyn Monroe was a star, an icon a legacy, just as today. People back in the day might have called her dumb, dizzy and blonde. People today call her the same, while holding her over their heads like the icon that she is.

Might this not just be a strategy? Does anyone to this day really believe that we as women do not play dumb to get where we want to be? Being smart is a rival to any man. Showing strength at the wrong moment might harm any women, at least that is what we are told by countless commercials and marketing campaigns... I hate to say it, but it must be true to this day as Paris Hilton makes a living by being a pretend blonde, who is in fact a smart business women! Case closed!

Biosphere 2 - Blog Action Day 2009

On September 21st 1991 eight people entered an experiment called "Biosphere 2". "Biosphere 2" was a completely sealed 3 acre structure made by men that essentially resembled a miniature Biosphere of the world we live in.

It was build to make the eight people inside of it completely independent from the world we know (Biosphere 1). The people inside had a miniature rain forest, an ocean, a desert and everything else that exist in our world today including multiple carefully measured bacteria that were put in their Biosphere 2 environment to keep them alive.

The group that lived in "Biosphere 2" made their own food by growing fruits and vegetables on their miniature farm. They stayed alive for so long inside this man made, completely sealed off area by carefully measuring and understanding the environment that surrounded them.

Jane Poynter was one of the people that lived in "Biosphere 2" for '2 years and 20 minutes'. She said that she 'literally became part of "Biosphere 2", giving the example that the CO2 that she breathed out became part of the sweet potatoes she was growing'.

(Watch her presentation here).

Now, isn`t that a thought people: We eat what we put into our Biosphere, our world we live in. Of course our "experiment" as of how much waste we can put out before we suffocate or die of malnutrition will last much longer, as our Biosphere is much bigger than "Biosphere 2" back in 1991. Aren`t we just a little crazy to see what we do to ourselves and that we do not do anything about it?

It is your world, your air and your life! Things are meant to be of quality! Things are meant to be fun! So here are some fun things to do with friends and by yourself that actually help you breath better at the same time:

:0)

• Visit your local farmers market and buy locally grown vegetables and fruit. (It`s a fun thing to do with a friend and it`s good for the environment as transportation costs are low).
• Turn off your TV and Computer completely when you are not in the room. Even better: Make the choice to turn of all electrical equipment in your house for 30 min before you go to bed and just relax lying on your bed, thinking about the day. This helps to reduce stress.
• Remove yourself from Junk Mail mailing lists! Nobody needs all the useless letters trying to sell you stuff or trying to coax you into applying for the newest credit card. Removing yourself from Junk Mailing Lists will give you extra room in your mailbox and will save paper! (Remove yourself here).

Go Blog Action Day! :0)
