Drunk Blogger needs sea creatures in his life

Everytime I feel like seeing some goofy sea animals to cheer me up,a nd get me out of my slump, I look into getting some Sea World Tickets. Now, if only I had a place to go online where I could get them cheap....wait a minute! I do! Orlandofuntickets.com! Oh yeah! I just linked to them above too! Exclamation! Alright, here's the deal, folks. If you want discounted tickets for Disney World, Sea World, and all the Orlando theme parks, attractions, dinner shows, etc., then you need to check this site out. I'm not lying when I say it's absolutely incredible. Because let's be honest, the most expensive and intimidating factors in planning your process is when you are trying to figure out admission tickets. There are so many options! Well, now there is a good option. You can get your Disney tix in many different options, from 1 to 10 days. What's it called? "Disney Magic Your Way," of course. It ain't Burger King, but it's just as flame-broiled. You'll get the lowest price from them for sure. Specifics? Four theme parks, two water parks and a lot more that I would mention but you'll have to find out for yourself! Don't want to do that yourself? Okay, fine. I'll be nice. They also have tickets for Disneyquest, Downtown Disney Pleasure Island, Disney's Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach Water Parks, and every single itsy bitsy (but not) Disney them park ticket as well! Pretty awesome, right? I'm already excited about it. I think I may buy tickets for a random summer weekend and go down there with 2 hot babes. They'll both stay in my room, but that's another story. There's more in Orlando for you. It doesn't stop at the Disney Gates. Have you heard of Universal Studios Florida (the extension of Hollywood's Disneyland?)? How about Islands of Adventure? Well, They have tickets for these places too. There is nighttime fun and dinner shows at this park, and you should experience both! They have the lowest discount prices for all of Orlando. You can grab some grub there. (If "greb" was a word, I'd use it too.) You can even get Arabian Nights, Medieval Times, Pirates Dinner Adventure and more at a discounted price! It's not quite free, but close, and the Spanish would call it "gratis" if it was. And one more thing, you could even go to the Kennedy freakin' Space Center at a discount rate too! Fly to space (figuratively) like Lance Bass! Get it? The N'Sync, Orlando and Space connection? Hey-oh! For the best service and best prices, check the out today, homies!

Christina is partier

Christina XTINA Aguilera and hubby Jordan Bratman have welcomed the arrival of their newborn son, Max Liron Bratman. Great name if you are a 17th century pianist. Why do celebrities always give their kids some weird ass name as if they wont get made fun of at school. Liron? The little munchkin weighed in at 6lbs 2oz, which is coincidentally the same weight of the first fist he'll be punched with in the face when he is 10. That's a big fist! On another note, 2 days earlier, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden welcomed a baby girl into the world. HER name? Harlow Winter Kate Madden at 6lbs 7oz. Maybe their babies can hook up in the future and be a super couple living the simple life. Hey-oh! Not funny.

This is awesome, Tony Romo dumps Jessica Simpson

This is so awesome. According to The Enquirer, Tony Romo broke it off with Jessica Simpson because he is all ready to propose to his college sweetheart. Awesome. That's a good idea. The mag claims that the whole time Jessica and Tony were "dating" he was two-timing her with Crystal Kasper, a 25-year-old optometrist. The two fell for each other during their days at Eastern Illinois University. A source says, "If you could see Tony's phone bill from all the calls and text messages he sends Crystal, you'd be stunned. They couldn't hook up much during the season. She was finishing her doctoral studies in Florida. But I know Tony flew Crystal to a game in Chicago where they spent time together." The source claims Tony is glad to get away from the whole Hollywood scene. They say Romo is finishing up a $1.4 million lakeside house in his hometown of Burlington, Wisconsin. "There's going to be a housewarming on Valentines Day, and Tony's flying Crystal in. That's when he's set to propose." Ouch.

Capella is back!

This blog post was based on information provided by Blogitive. For more information, please visit Blogitive.com. There is a new place called capella university? If you are looking for a good education, online, and nowhere else, then it's the first place you should check out. They are the best! They were founded in 1993, it is a completely accredited university online. That means they are legit. They offer graduate online degree programs in business, information technology, education, human services, public health, public safety, psychology, and bachelor's degree programs in business, information technology, and public safety. But the detailed educational system at Capella doesn't stop there. Within those areas, they have 104 graduate and undergraduate specializations. They also have 15 areas of certification. That's a pretty technologically advanced way to get a certificate, isn't it? I'm pretty amazed at how great of a school it sounds like. They currently serve almost 20,000 students from all 50 states and 56 different countries! (I'll let you know when they officially reach 20,000. Check back for live updates of that.) They are pursuing business growth. They want to grow, while helping you grow. They provide high-caliber academic excellence. They want to be successful, and you too! Most people don't realize this next bit of information either... They are owned by Capella Education Company of course. Their headquarters are in Minneapolis. If you want to find out more, then you better Google them, Yahoo them, or, the better option: click on the link above. They are awesome from what I hear...and you know how credible the stuff I hear is--very.

More madness that drives me crazy

K-Fed has slapped Britney with a restraining order!B has to stay at least 100 feet from the Fedster at all times, and since he’s got full custody of their two sons, it’s pretty safe to say she’ll be at least that far away from the boys too (that is, unless they can crawl over to the nearest gas station). We knew she’s bat-sh*t crazy and all, but we didn’t think she was homicidal - which begs the question: Is K-Daddy trying to make Britney go as insane as possible at this point?? Discuss. It’s no secret that B-Mama is pissed at “Doctor” Phil for barging in on her while she was getting ready to leave Cedars Sinai this weekend, but the PhD (not MD or DO mind you, so he reallydid NOT have much of a right to be in the psych ward) maintained that he was asked to make the visit by Brit’s familia. Well, that may be, but the fam is none to happy that Phil decided to spin the incident for publicity and whore the whole thing out as a very special episode of his talk show. If that doesn't drive you crazy I can't help you.

JM for Prezzie

Here’s a message that John Meyer posted on his official blog yesterday, and we have to tell ya, he’s kinda rockin’ our world - even more so than usual! Read and learn, friends, read and learn: “UNDER THE (IMPRESSION I CAN) INFLUENCE (PEOPLE AROUND ME) I’m taking to the blog today to share something with you that I feel more passionate about than I saw coming. I want to make it short and sweet so that anybody who wants to re-print it can copy and paste without editing… Went out to dinner Thursday night. My car. One glass of wine. Carpooled from dinner to go out to one more place. Everyone in my car. At the next spot, I do the Diet Coke with Lime thing. My favorite scotch (Lagavulin 16 year) arrives under my nose. “Can’t do it,” I say. Then I find out my friend has switched to Designated Driver and has a plan that involves everyone getting home safe. Cool. I love Lagavulin when the time is right. Now it’s the end of the night and I’m feeling wonderfully buzzy and ready to get dropped off to my house in my car, except the person that was going to follow my car in the DD’s car to drive him back isn’t in shape to drive either. It’s 2 o’clock in the morning. I call my housemate Chad. Chad’s sleeping. He was in the studio all day. I explain to him that I need him to jump in the back seat of my car, ride to the DD’s car and drive me back home. Of course Chad says “yes” and comes through like a champ. A champ, I say. Here’s what I want to tell you: If I, incredibly hot/fugly John Mayer can make that call, so can you. The distance from the parking lot to my house was about 5 miles, mostly straight shot up the coast of Santa Monica, zero traffic. And I didn’t drive it. Me. The guy who gets the VIP velvet rope treatment in life. Oh, and the call? It’s not the coolest you’ll ever sound. And the logistics? It’s kind of inelegant. You trace the same route twice when all you want to do is fall into bed. But you gotta do it. This is all coming from a guy who you can be sure would have found a sexier way to get home if there was one available. And there just isn’t, especially in LA. (You can be sexy again the next day when you wake up with the rest of your big, beautiful life in front of you.) I’m not writing this to earn golf claps, it’s just that if I’m going to stand in any way as an ambassador of something cool or influential, this is more important than any pair of sneakers or a guitar. And to give a big high five to the Chads of the world. See you around

Kava Kava ya'll!

You feel like Hawaii? Check out kava kava. What are they? Well, let's start where they are located: nestled in the fertile volcanic slopes of Kona's Hualalai Mountain where climatic conditions and micro nutrient rich soil are seriously famous for producing Hawaii's coffee that everybody wants. Excited yet? I am. This is awesome. They sell organic Kava products in a wide variety. They are the growers and the suppliers...so they can control it all to make the absolute best coffee product for you. Simply put, only Kona Kava Farm grows 426 strains of Kava. Kave is the most potent type, and they are organic certified for all of their kava products. They are the only ones to do that. I'm telling you, now listen. They are deep in the history of Hawaii with their philosophy too. Their native Kava Root allows the ancient wisdom of Hawaii. That wisdom is to come forth to heal and restore balance to your life. In fact, elders of Hawaii used to say, “If you drink too much root, you must walk backwards, so the ground does not come up to greet you”. I guess that makes sense...although I had to think about it for a minute. Wouldn't the ground still meet you if you walked backwards? Well...any matter...it's from old people, so you know it's profound in some way. The Hawaiian kava is very potent and suits the needs for long and pleasant ceremonies that are conducive to sociability and the telling of long stories... You don't say, huh? Now, let's talk effects. They last about an hour, and if you take more servings, it can expend the effects as long as you want! (Well...at least to the maximum daily recommendation by the FDA.) Be careful, everybody is different. Don't overdo it. Larger bodies may require more product…it’s all open to personal experimentation. What is in their featured variety? Well, how about some Piper methysticum? It's the highly potent Mahakea...which is from the Mahakea strain. They make their prized Powdered Kava Root, as well as all the many other Kava products! So now you can prepare it in many ways. You could go the traditional Hawaiian preparation. What is that? You can mix the powdered root in a large bowl with water that can be consumed by a lot of guests. Kava can be mixed in with water, fruit or vegetable juices. Try some Kava Recipes, or try their ORGANIC VEGAN CHOCOLATE and HOODIA GORDONII products as well! Now let's break it down: Their roots are only from their own Kava plants. They have 90% lateral roots and only 10% underground. There has never been liver damage that has been a problem as a result of their products. There is no evidence of that at all man. They used distilled water and pure, organic ethanol too. It's been proven to be a safe herbal supplement...even though for 3,000 years, Hawaii has known that. Duh! It's their "National Drink of Fiji"! Check it out!

You ever listened to Outkast with breakfast?

Seriously, you should try it sometime if you haven't. It's not quite as cool as playing Pink Floyd's one album while you watch The Wizard of Oz--it doesn't quite match up the same way--but still, it's pretty damn cool. As I was eating my cereal, Andre 3000 was singing about moving to the back of the bus, and I thought, "You know, I could eat this cereal at the back of the bus. It would probably be challenging!" But then, just as I was thinking about going to the bus stop, the song about bombs over Baghdad came on...and I was watching CNN Planet in Peril while eating bacon! Can you believe that? What are the chances!? So, seriously, you need to check out Outkast while you eat breakfast. It's freaky, man.

Primary madness!

Way back in January 2000, John McCain was winning New Hampshire, George W. Bush didn’t matter, and Hillary Clinton was in the White House. So much has changed. Thanks for being part of our fun-filled New Hampshire coverage. We have more reports and video and photos and detritus that we’ll be posting in the morning, but it’s pretty much a wrap for tonight — 86% of the precincts have managed to turn in ballots, and there’s really only 6,000 votes between Hill’s big victory and Barry’s tragic race-based loss. If you want a quick bullet-point link list, you are in luck because we are posting one later. I know I can't wait. Can you? It's gonna be rat-tastic!

When I have a wedding, I'm checking here first

Under certain circumstances, wedding flowers can be a disappointment. But I'm here to tell you: not in this case. FiftyFlowers.com is easy and won't break your piggy bank. They specialize in wedding flowers. This I know. They can hook up your wedding event big time. They have various types of roses--like: premium roses, calla lilies, rose petals, gerbera daisies, hydrangeas, peonies and many other flowers and greens! But how are they delivered? Well, at below wholesale cost and with the least fuss possible! How else would they be delivered? Duh! They have varieties of bulk flowers that they carry for all occasions. This includes premium bouquets, table arrangements, centerpieces, and wedding flower packages...just to name a few. To point out, this is different from local florists. Local florists buy their flowers from importers and wholesalers who keep the flowers in freakin' coolers for multiple days! But, these guys use overnight express to ship to the customer! Flower wholesalers cut the stems and put the flowers in water to re-hydrate them, and then the local florist can retails flowers that are actually hydrated and open. That doesn't sound that great to me. Does it sound good to you? I didn't think so. They don't do this, so don't worry about it. They remove the wholesaler and retailer from the flower supply chain. That saves up to 75% on the flower cost for you customers! Now, I know this is sounding good to you. It is sounding good to me too. Well, Liza Roeser Atwood is a founder and chief executive officer. Want to hear what she has to say? Well, you don't need to, but she says all good things! The traffic on this site over the years has just gone up and up. The same has happened to wedding costs. The average cost of a wedding is $28,000. Can you believe that? That's a lot of money. So special treatment and personalized consultations to brides who need help has been happening for FiftyFlowers. And the cost of shipping these flowers is included in the wholesale prices. They can be ordered in large or small quantities. Awesome. They even offer wedding flower packages that are beautifully arranged at their flower facility according to your custom order! It's like a Wedding in a Box! They get 23 pieces...and this includes bridal bouquet, bridesmaid bouquet, corsages, boutonnieres, and table arrangements. The focal flower, accent flowers and greens are chosen by the bride. That's what I'm talking about! The experts step in when they need to, but otherwise, the bride runs the show! Dang! They have been doing this for almost ten years. They deliver the best quality, freshly cut flowers directly from their farms in Ecuador, Columbia, and other locations, to you. They send these flowers everywhere. Now you have to be the one to order them. Get it going, man!

I woke up this morning with a hangover

I woke up this morning with a hangover. It was not pretty. After drinking chambord and Diet Dr. Pepper's all night, and reading GQ, I realized that I was being lame as shit. It was pretty much the worst thing you could spend your night doing if you are a straight male. Oh well, but yeah, lame. So today, I decided to remedy the situation by going to the gym, playing tackle football, getting into a fight, and banging 3 chicks back-to-back. It's the only way I can make up for the gayest night in the history of being bored. But I'm still hungover, so I'll probably just do that stuff tomorrow. Womp-womp-wooommmppp.

I follow politics too

In one of the last vestiges of the pretty fantasy that voting precincts are like neighborhoods and everyone knows each other, there are great swaths of this nation where you don’t need to show a government-issue picture ID to vote. Maybe you show your voter reg card, or they compare your signature, or you do show ID but you don’t have to. Indiana is not one of those places. Of course, their little voter ID law, which was put into place to prevent supposedly rampant voter fraud (and not the hanging-chads kind), discriminates against people that don’t have and/or can’t afford drivers licenses or non-license state ID card. Those people are mostly poor (cough, often minorities, cough) and elderly, who, surprise! Vote Democratic more often than not. The Supreme Court heard a challenge to that voter identification law this morning.

Medical supplies for everybody!

You and me need some medical supplies. You know why? Because you do. Well...the question now is: where? Where? Seriously? Yeah. How about AllegroMedical.com? It's awesome! It was founded in 1996, and it now serves over 1 million customers! Awesome! They are one of the largest and absolutely most technologically advanced independently owned online retailers of life enhancing products in the United States. You need to find it and do it, man. They've done this lately. And since launching this first ecommerce site that specializes in the medical equipment and home health care supplies industry...which was in 1998 ya'll...they have completely enhanced and expanded. Now they include mainstream consumer retails products. Such as what? Such as Exercise & Fitness Equipment, Nutritional Dietary Supplements, Maternity/Baby Supplies and Outdoor Gear of course! You should have know that! Well...there's more. They have a main flagship site, and it offers 55,000 products, under 50 categories and hundreds of sub-categories! You can shop by these categories, or by brand, or by condition even! Now, that's some convenient stuff man. Isn't that cool? But, do you want to find out about some of their recent site features that they added? Well, then, here: RSS feed / Blogs / Product Guides – (Shopping for Baby Products, Products to Help You Stay Cool, Guide to Wound Care Products…, Auto Re-Order – (Customers set deliveries at intervals), Shop by Condition (Visitors select from products based on their medical condition) Isn't that some good stuff?

And here are the popular categories fo you all, man: Children/Pediatric, Daily Living Aids, Diabetic Supplies, Emergency Preparation, Exercise/Fitness, Hospital Discharge Favorites, Maternity Care, Sexual Well-Being, Urologicals/Catheters, Wound Care Supplies. Aren't those some cool features, man! And now, if you act now, and not only now, you can get the free Allegro eCatalog that offers serious limited time specials and discounts to anyone who sings up! That's awesome. That is the best thing I've ever seen online! And in case you were wondering...they are privately owned and based out of Tempe, AZ.

New Hampshire coverage

In yesterday's New Hampshire primary, turnout among young voters doubled over 2004 levels. With almost all precincts reporting in, an analysis by CIRCLE, the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (pdf), showed that turnout among voters under 30 hit a high of 37%, up from 18% in 2004. In total, CIRCLE estimated that 72,041 young people made it to the ballot box on Tuesday, making up 16% of the total electorate. This continued a trend of rising participation among young voters begun in 2004, when youth turnout in the general election rose by 4.3 million votes over 2000 levels. These numbers are initial estimates, and actual turnout numbers are likely to rise as the final precincts report their results.

Silly nerds!

Sen. Hillary Clinton eked out an unexpected victory in the New Hampshire primary. With 89 percent of the precincts reporting, she edged Sen. Barack Obama by two percentage points, according to the Manchester Union Leader. John Edwards placed third with 17 percent of Democratic ballots cast. While all the pundits are in a tizzy as they had expected Obama to win by a landslide, everyone is in agreement that a record turnout, the will of women voters and the candidate's newfound openness, favored Clinton.
