New Way to start the update....
Song of the Day:
It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
Still I wish there was somethin' you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talkin' anyway
So don't think twice, it's all right
Bonus song of the Day:
Go 'way from my window,
Leave at your own chosen speed.
I'm not the one you want, babe,
I'm not the one you need.
You say you're lookin' for someone
Never weak but always strong,
To protect you an' defend you
Whether you are right or wrong,
Someone to open each and every door,
But it ain't me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.
This Day in History:
In 1729, the city of Baltimore was founded. The following year, gang crime was invented. OK, maybe not.
In 1792, the French national anthem "La Marseillaise," by Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle, was first sung in Paris. The words to the national anthem are the following:
"We surrender! We roll over, we give up!"
Repeat 10 times. Always played at border crossings. For anyone. A donkey could wonder across the Italian border, and a band would strike up.
In 1864, during the Civil War, Union forces tried to take Petersburg, Va., by exploding a mine under Confederate defense lines — the attack failed.
In 1942, President Roosevelt signed a bill creating a women's auxiliary agency in the Navy known as "Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service" — WAVES for short. Chlamydia was invented shortly after. Ok, not really.
In 1965, President Johnson signed into law the Medicare bill, which went into effect the following year.
In 1975, former Teamsters union president Jimmy Hoffa disappeared in suburban Detroit — although presumed dead, his remains have never been found.
In 1980, the Israeli Knesset passed a law reaffirming all of Jerusalem as the capital of the Jewish state.
Today's Birthdays:
Actor Dick Wilson ("Mr. Whipple") is 88.
HIs biggest claim to fame is soft tissue that you use to clean your butt. But we love him for it.
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is 57.
What is YOUR favorite Arnold movie and/or character. And no BS answer about how he's always playing some version of himself, because we already know that. Predator? Terminator? Total Recall? Twins? Junior?
Actor Laurence Fishburne (and Daily Update favorite) is 43.
Now, Lawrence is a fantastic actor, but when I first saw him, I hated him. Hte first memorable movie I saw him in was What's Love Got To Do With It?, the Tina Turner story. He played Ike. And I hated Ike. But after I took some time to think, it takes a really great actor to create a character that you hate that much. And after seeing him in Othello...well it's pretty obvious he's good at what he does.
Actress Lisa Kudrow is 41.
Actress Vivica A. Fox is 40.
All I need now is a glass of milk to dunk her in...yum.
Actress Hilary Swank is 30. (Is it just me or does her name just SOUND dirty?)
Actress Jaime Pressly is 27.
I'm not a proponent of smoking. Normally it's a HUGE turnoff. But that top picture of Jaime....dang.
Word of the Day:
ensorcell , transitive verb:
To enchant; to bewitch.
Shakespeare Quote of the Day:
"They do not love that do not show their love"
Two G of V, Act i, Sc.2
Forget Kris, let's trade for Anna Benson!
Kris Benson is a pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates. He has a wife named Anna Benson. She has a website. She also has some unique viewpoints on the concept of abstinence prior to competition. These thoughts are shared here.
Pictures of another hot baseball wife, Shaune Bagwell, who has been in the daily Upate before, can be found here.
New Showtime show, The Ranch:
In their efforts to find the next mini-series that can do battle with HBO, and become the next "Sex and the City" or Sopranos, Showtime has produced a show called "the Ranch", which centers around a brothel in Nevada. High on above-average looking women simulating sex acts, the show has promise, and allows you to see them as people, and not just sex objects, even if thats what the job description requires. the only problem is that it's hard to feel any empathy for them because, well, they are prostitutes. There's one who is getting married, and hiding the fact that she is/was a prostitute (he thinks she is an airline stewardess). There's another who is fighting with her ex-husband over how to raise their daughter, and how much influence her career has on the little girls upbringing. There is a widowed mother who runs the place and watches over the hired help, while raising a teenage son. Or the bartender who has romantic feelings towards one of the working girls.
Some interesting story lines, even if you don't really care about the outcome of their lives. There are hidden costs and consequenes that you pay when you enter into career fields like these. And you have to be strong enough to pay them if this is what you want to do with your life. So I'll watch,and hopefully some of you will to, so that we can have some discussion about it.
You'll get to see her if you watch. That's enough incentive isn't it?
Nadine Velazquez for no reason at all:
Are you accusing me of padding a weak Daily Update with a bunch of pictures to throw you off the scent? Yes. Yes I am.
Find it in yourselves to forgive me.
