    I know how much we all love superheroes, that’s why I saved you this little article about a freakishly life-like Captain America action figure! But if you’re like me… you want to know what’s totally hot in the business world right now, so here goes:

     

    And I think that is sooo true. It’s kind of like how I started this column! “Hmmm… what are my Facebook friends up to today? What’s in my email this morning…” :D

    Speaking of jobs and easy ways to do things… The term “etiquette” is severely under valued these days. Even with the worldwide acceptance of mediocrity, these 5 etiquette tips will get you ahead in the real world.

    And just in case any of you needed reminding about social media etiquette… don’t try this at home:

    Chillaxing...

    It’s a nice rainy afternoon here in Miami, FL today! Since I’m in a good mood, thought I’d let my Miami peeps know about a book event tonight at the Coral Gables Books & Books. Learn how to get ridiculously healthy from an ex-fattie! Yay!

    Speaking of Miami… Chaz Bono will be at FIU tonight at the north campus. He is in town for the awesome Gay Pride festival held at Miami Beach yesterday.

    Okay, enough about how awesome Miami is. This week, with tax time upon us, I think we should all reflect on the ethics of the people around us (all over the US!). With the state of the country and our politicians acting a fool, I would like to point out that we still have great people living among us who have great hearts. Read about what these children would do if they had a trillion dollars.

    And, for now, I leave you with…. CATSSSS!!!!

    HOOT

    Ozzie Guillen Strikes Out With Cuban-Americans


    2012 - 04.13

    By Andrea Garcia

    Ozzie Guillen obviously likes dictators. This video shows him screaming Viva Chavez, referring to Hugo Chavez, another Castro crony.

    Ozzie Guillen needs to join the unemployment lines after his explosive comments during an interview with Time Magazine.

    “I respect Fidel Castro,” Ozzie Guillen said. “You know why? A lot of people have wanted to kill Fidel Castro for the last 60 years, but that [guy] is still there. I love Fidel Castro.”

    Guillen’s admiration for the tyrant made many in the Cuban-American community feel like they had been slapped in the face. As his comments ripped through the airwaves on Spanish-language radio stations, many Cuban-Americans voiced the sting they felt as a reaction to Guillen’s comments. (more…)

    If you don’t know who Fred Phelps is and aren’t aware of the Westboro Baptist Church, you should be. If only as a lesson of how abominable pure and irrational hatred can be.

    If you heard of the group “protesting” at soldiers’ funerals, then you know who they are. Here is a list of website links directly from their webiste (we’re not making this up, people): (more…)

    When princesses and sports teams just aren’t enough to inspire young girls and boys to be their best selves, maybe these heroes can fill the void. Inspired by the fact that greatness is everywhere, even inside each of us, this t-shirt collection (soon to be merchandise empire) sports fabulous real-life heroes such as Abraham Lincoln and Amelia Earhart.

    This guy, hands down, has the best job ever. He is a master pastry chef AND professional chocolate taster. Even if you don’t like chocolate, after reading this article about the fine art of chocolate tasting, you’ll be craving a tasty morsel of your own!

    Happy Fun Hour! Add Some More Randomness to Your Morning…


    2012 - 04.02

    Yeah, a while back I discovered that I am a total geek. I go around spilling my heart about the things that make me excited. Yet, I don’t fit in with regular geeks because the things that get me excited are less and less about console games and hobbies, and more and more about my career in marketing and my love for politics and news.

    Speaking of career… cracked.com gives us an insightful look at the 5 Things Nobody Tell you about Having a Career.

     

    Oh, and here’s some random humor if you don’t want to read that piece!

    Today’s video “This homeless man deserves a tip” is genuinely entertaining.

    I do warn you though… watching this man’s art might get you  to connect with the homeless in a way like never before.

     

    In other “news”, a ‘Jonestown’ man is a hero thanks to dutifully memorizing the lines of Pulp Fiction and reciting them at the one time in his life when they would be useful…

    (Spoiler alert the story is just for fun). (more…)

    Kick Start My Art: Concept To Turn Abandoned Theme Park Into Public Art Project


    2012 - 03.22

    Kickstarter. You either think it’s brilliant or yet another means through which artists can continue to shamelessly whore themselves out. #guilty

    Or maybe you don’t even know what Kickstarter is. It’s a website which allows you to “fund & follow creativity.” That means that as an artist, you can post a concept and proposed budget and as a philanthropist, you can donate to such projects.

    Either way, we were alerted to one Kickstarter project that we feel deserves funding. Why? Because an abandoned theme park cum public art project would be uber sensational in our not so humble opinion.

    The project is being spearheaded by Art Basel darlings Agustina Woodgate and Anthony Spinello of Spinello Projects. They’re only asking for a total of $25,000, which we think is a bargain for a project of such magnitude.

    Click here for more information on Kulturpark, the intended project. There’s even a video (ooh, ahh).

    We only see one downside — the abandoned theme park is in Europe. Don’t they have enough kulture over there already?
