Gilmore challenge: Can you NOT laugh at this video?!!...

Oh the internet, such wonderous ways it has changed our lives. It's brought the world's information to our finger tips. Want to know information on any topic, it's just a few clicks away; find it from the comfort of your own home. The internet has brought us together in unimaginable ways: Websites, Blogs, Emails, easy ways to keep in touch. Friends or Family on the other side of the world? Skype them, see them and talk with them at any time... How incredible!
....And best of all the internet gives us completely random stuff you'd never come across in any other scenario. The perfect example: I found this video the other day you just have to watch!

I also challenge you. It has long been one of my PROVEN Gilmore theories. Farts are Funny! No one on the planet can honestly say they have never laughed at a fart. If you're saying no you haven't, you are a liar!... Prove me wrong...take my Gilmore Challenge, watch this video and not laugh. Betcha you can't do it!!..... What are ya chicken?! hehe...
Watch the video, laugh, enjoy... Oh bonus, it's extra funny for Star Wars fans...




Yes I have the maturity of a 12 year old :-P...Guess what? You do too, cause you laughed didn't ya?! hahaha!

Geddy Lee Awesomeness, & How to Beat the Winter Blues!!

Sooo Cold......Not sure about you, but this -30 crap can get lost anytime soon now! No denying we are in the dead of winter, folks are starting to feel pretty blah. I've mentioned a few tips on how to beat the winter blues. Below is the full list.....
Oh, and a little Geddy Lee of Rush awesomeness smack dab in the middle :-) Enjoy!

Beat the winter, and stay sane .....
• Turn your lights on as soon as your alarm goes off. It helps wake you up. Trying to get ready for work in the dark makes you stay sleepy and sluggish longer (and it increases your chance of steppin' on the cat!)
• Set your coffeemaker to turn on a few minutes before your alarm, wake up to the smell of coffee!
• The artificial light at work doesn’t hack it. Getting out, get some sunshine and fresh air during lunch. (Just make sure you bundle up!!)
• Pick a day a week to meet up with friends. Go for drinks, game night, whatever (makes the long winter go quicker...and "funnerer")

Here, take a break from reading with this video of Geddy Lee!!





More Beat the Winter Tips:
• Because of less sun, take a vitamin D supplement, it helps keep you from being bummed out.
• Re-decorate. A new look and some new colour at home can help cheer things up (stuck inside anyway, might as well enjoy the rooms you're stuck in)
• Don’t waste the limited daylight, get outside and enjoy winter.. snowmobiling, ice fishing, tobogganing (we've got all these and more here!!)...Don't forget to check out Geddy Lee's toboggan tips above!

Hope these help. Got any great Beat Winter tips? Lemme know! Email me HERE, you can also drop me a line on Facebook ---Gilmore

Something for the Canadian kids, and kids at heart!

Sad news, last Thursday composer Donald Himes passed away. Don't feel bad if the name doesn't ring a bell; I certainly had no idea who it was. But, I am very familiar with some of his work. If you grew up in Canada odds are you are too. Mr. Himes created the theme song for Mr. Dressup! Here it is for all to enjoy!




By the way Mr. Dressup is one of, if not, the greatest kid's show ever...Disagree? I may have to fight you! ;-)... It's really too bad today's kids are missing out on Mr. Dressup
