This video is hilarious! 


If you are following or interested in the outrageous Charlotteville Nazi outbreak story, OR if you are following anything about the Orange-Faced president, Jimmy Kimmel nails it ! in this video.

Jimmy's spin terribly FUNNY and if you make it to the end of the vid (its 11min), Jimmy offers a grandiose solution to the Trump as president problem which Donald himself would definitely go for, but upon hearing it will blow your mind. LMAO...

Save the Environment with Surf Boards?

Saving the environment has always been important to me. particularly the ocean - because I feel, after we 'kill off' all the trees for lumber, we are going to need to rely on vegetation beneath the sea, to provide our atmosphere with oxygen; without, it, we are basically all extinct. Fairly terrifying, yes!

I will write more about that another time, but for now, I want to share an article from a pair of entrepreneurs who are passionate about the ocean, and preserving it.

How This California Pair Built a High-End Surf Brand With Upcycled Wood Scraps tells the story of the founders of Ventana Surfboards and Supplies who's surfboard products actually make the world a more environmentally conscientious place.

Happy 150th Birthday Canada!!

Canada 150. Canada's birthday. The sesquicentennial. There must be 150 ways to name 2017, but what are we talking about exactly? Well, that depends on how you look at it.

The year 2017 marks 150 years since Confederation. Or rather, what we've come to call Confederation.

Canada is actually a federation, but the term Confederation caught on in the in the 19th century and it stuck — we've named squares and bridges after it, we refer to the "Fathers of Confederation" (and the Mothers too!), and the word has come to represent the country and the events that created it.

The summer solstice is upon us: 7 things to know about the longest day of the year

Why do we have a summer solstice, anyway?
Updated by Brad Plumer and Brian Resnick

The summer solstice is upon us: June 20th and the 21st will be the longest days of 2017 for anyone living north of the equator. If pagan rituals are your thing, this is probably a big moment for you. If not, the solstice is still pretty neat.

Technically speaking, the summer solstice occurs when the sun is directly overhead the Tropic of Cancer, or 23.5° north latitude. In 2017, this will occur at exactly 12:24 am (Eastern) on the 21st. (But we can celebrate on either day.)

Below is a short scientific guide to the longest day of the year (though not, as we’ll see, the longest day in Earth’s history — that happened back in 1912).

Brad Pitt Spills on Booze and Divorce

I know it’s been a little while... but doesn't everybody want to hear what he has to say about it??


I heard he was drunk on a private jet screaming at his teenage son, so Jolie flipped and later that day walked out with the kids (ALL seven of them!!)... Justifiable, perhaps, but I've also seen a lot of photos of her looking dangerously frail with a glass of white wine in hand... I mean they lived on and owned a vineyard in France for crying out loud!! So who knows how one-sided this actually was...

5 Healthy Eating Habits for a great YOGA bod!!

fb.me/8szGjOfKf  #healthybod, #yogabody, #sexyforsummer, #bestrong, #loveyourbody

1. Natural is BEST: Choose foods the way nature made them whenever possible: a whole apple instead of applesauce. Edamame beans instead of tofu. Wine instead of heavy desserts - but eat the grapes too!!

2. Clean not Chemicals: Eating chemicals and processed foods simply is not as healthy as organic. Avoid degenerative diseases by eating organic food. Grow a garden on your balcony. Buy free-range only. Insist on antibiotic and hormone-free. Try sulphate-free wine.

Snoop Shoots Orange-faced Clown President

Did Snoop Dogg go too far in his most recent music video??

BADBADNOTGOOD by Lavender ft. Kaytranada & Snoop Dogg (Nightfall Remix) is a must-see, extremely controversial, chilling and politically incorrect, stunning video!!

Presidential assassination threats are a dangerous reality in our unsettled modern world, and as Snoop articulately depicts American's 45th President as a clown that needs "dealing with", he sends an alarming idea/message to millions of his fans worldwide.
