l.p. - luminous pondering - hmm...

'Tis 10/10/10, folks! Just like last year when we had 9/9/9... And the year before that saw us have an 8/8/8... And before that we had the magnanimous 7/7/7, of course... And the ominous 6/6/6 before that... And of course, before all that we had been prepared psychologically with the 5/5/5s through 1/1/1s...! And still, all this is not to mention that in the next two years, we will have an 11/11/11 and a 12/12/12 too (watch out for that one, folks!) You get the idea! These once-in-a-lifetime dates that we have been living in for the past decade are always golden occasions to verse apocalyptic on you - so why not indulge them all, apocalyptically indeed, even at the risk of becoming dangerously (and did I mention apocalyptically ) redundant... hmm? How better, I ask thee, than to indulge in music and stunning (dare I add... apocalyptically stunning too?) visuals, all merged chaotically enough on videoclips for our viewing pleasure, delight and collective fright as well? ...

It is possible to forget *everything* during one's vacation - if you believe the words of this classic gem from allegedly elegant one-hit wonders... Vacances J'Oublie Tout - Èlègance J'ai la montre arrêtée J'sais même pas l'heure qu'il est Le téléphone a sonné J'm'suis pas réveillé Direction salle de bain J'me fais couler un bain Je m'regarde dans le miroir Pas beau à voir En retard sur l'horaire Plus besoin d'se presser Radio libre allumée Stop pas de publicité Cette chanson bien côtée C'est le tube de l'été Me fait flipper De la tête aux pieds Je commence à ranger Car ce soir terminé Je serais sur la route Avec Bison Futé J'suis pas seul à rêver Du ciel bleu des palmiers Et des jours sans problèmes C'est la vie que j'aime (Refrain) Vacances j'oublie tout Plus rien à faire du tout J'm'envoie en l'air ça c'est super Folie légère Vacances j'oublie tout Plus rien à faire du tout J'm'envoie...

Love is blind - and so is the fashion sense!  BBB Clothing -  "because you want to look like a fashionista  when you make your exit in a casket!" *LMBO*  Hmm...  BBB Clothing  sure should  buy my slogan there!  :p

What? They're not available anymore?!? No more Four Horsemen vitamins? (We know Jean-Paul Levesque sure took a lot of them!) No more One Warrior Nation vitamins either Not even Stinger Splashes And much less Hulkamania Roids! *lol* Oh well - I can always go back to those barbarian days when I injested Flintstones vitamins, then...? :P

The same maker of crappy DVD players,  crappier TVs and stereo systems obsolete VCRs  and still crappier cellphones  invites me to sit down  in a crappy theater  soiled with crappy fake popcorn butter  and crapfest so-called foods'  crumbs and leftovers  (if not regurgitated bits - outright)  AND sticky seats  due to the overflow of  soda pop sugars  SIT amidst an overexcited crowd  (overexcited for absolutely  NOTHING)  to watch a crappy waste of celluloid  - not to mention waste of MILLIONS  OF DOLLARS  THAT COULD HAVE HELPED BILLIONS  OF THE NEEDY ONES ON THIS PLANET  - or, at the very least,  produced a much better film than THAT...! Needless to say,  Samsung,  you can take the invite  and shove where the sung don't SING!  ;)

Have a look and take a gander at this guy - exclusive (or not-so-exclusive, perhaps - but these were indeed taken by MOI!) pictures of a stilt man on skates! Not just any stilt skilled skater either; a funny bogus player of the Habs (aka the Montreal Morons... er, Maroons... no, that's not it either... the Canadiens! Yeah! Not to be confused with the gold medalist ones - these are just the mediocre ones! But I am digressing again, and so early on, yet again...!) The name made it for me - a man on stilts is mildly amusing, but this kind of stuff is for the kids, really... The fact that he wore a jersey of the local club was a GIVEN - alas. These pics are taken at the site of the Montreal HighLights Festival - Montréal En Lumière, after all! On February the 27th, 2010, to be exact... aye. Nothing truly enlightening there, really - but they make full usage of available kiloWatts and their sponsor, Hydro-Québec, foots most of the bill, so it is all deLIGHTful, for sure... But ...

Hmm... Haven"t I seen this broad on some reality TV show, before?  Or a commercial, somewhere?  Web-infomercial?  Anorexics-R-Us membership drive...?!?  Something...?!? I just cannot shake that skeptical side off whenever I see things like this - and to have CNN and ABC attached to it does not help give any extra iota of credibility either!   They can be conned like everybody else - and that goes at least a hundred-fold for poor little "rachaelray" there...!!!   But that is another story... ;)

Just ask Britney ! Don't believe otherwise , no...! Heck, if you listen to some, you can even go for 50 a DAY and REMAIN HEALTHY...?!? Here's something to aim for, in this new year... eh? :-\

ho ho ho Честито Рождество Христово! Joyeux Noël! Merry Christmas! Feliz Natal! Feliz Navidad! And so, now, enjoy the best music of 2009!

I would be remiss if I did not blast (on this, my least abrasive blog of all- methinks and you better believe that I can be meaner than this here - I must mention it at least here!) the lacks of Laval jacks there... I mean, they don't get the facts right, they nurture disinformation and commérages instead, they make things worse (with unrealistic figures, among other things) than they truly are... They're worse than women - as my very FEMININE colleague would say! (So, in other words, stick the chauvinistic accusations up where the sun doesn't shine - hmm?) Hence, in light of ALL THIS (and the article here ) I had to comment.. I simply had to... And since I "fear" the sudden deletion of my words (rightly so too - just look at the GeoCities hécatombe , man!) I JUST HAVE TO REPUBLISH IT RIGHT HERE, PALS! À bon entendeur - salut! Je me demande avec quel degré de DÉSINTÉRÊT que vous vous renseignez afin de pondre ces joyaux de journalistique active, vraiment... ...

THE EAGLE LANDED 40 YEARS AGO, TODAY... OR DID IT? Moon Landing Mysteries

What is this God-forsaken (only alleged "God's Country" - trust me on that!) piece of wasteland (wasted land for sure) NOW? 142... 143 years-old? OFFICIALLY, that is! A mere one hundred and forty-something... and it thinks it is so GREAT! HA! Granted, it doesn't have nearly as bad a superiority complex as the damn USofA do...! But that is another story... Both should be annexed already - amalgamated and bombed by North Korea (if it ever gets the technology it needs to make them long range missiles North Korean Nukeheads DREAM OF...! Who says they don't already have it though... EH? Who says the many enemies of the USofA won't supply it to them ASAP... HMM? That is another story too - I know! So I'll just stop digressing already, EHMM? HMM? EH? Whatever!) *************** The thing is, I just caught a snippet of the celebration today, down in OTTAWA - man, is it a BORING PARTY too! Their idea of fun is: a sad excuse for music, with Gregory Charles at th...

A whole lot, apparently...! Any entreprise (except Zellers at this point - apparently! They who dropped their Zeddy like yesterday's old sack of rotten potatoes...! But I am digressing already...) any business worth its salt usually KNOWS the value of a mascot; the instant contact it can trigger with its customer-base, initiating a friendly and immediate familiar rapport that could NEVER BE otherwise... almost! (Okay, it could be, but it would take a hell of a lot of time and, quite frankly, time is money that is not being made while it is spent doing that - are you following me here...?!? Yes - I was digressing - again! Let's just MOVE ON...!) Yes indeed, most retail chains have their mascots and they have THEM - by the balls! One false move from the mascot and the whole chain COLLAPSES! For nothing is as bad, in terms of bad publicity, than a misbehaving mascot that represents your entire entreprise, believe you me! That is why only the utmost professionals, the most r...

Hmm... I wonder why peeps assume to give me a "holiday" (or just a bonafide proverbial "day off") on Passover instead of Good Friday? Do I look like a follower of judaism, with my beard? Am I confused with inept followers who STILL await a Messiah to be BORN to them...?!? Can any one of those actually pass for ME - L.P.? Is my kind and their kind so intricately linked - truly? Can we really be found to be interchangeable, say, if a Messiah did show up and there was a need for a quick mob to assemble and shout "crucify him" all over again...?!? I think not! Thus... I WANT MY GOOD FRIDAY OFF! And Easter Sunday too - it goes without saying! +++

Straight out of MY Frazy too! Stylem.com ... Whatever they call it now!

'Tis The Age-Old Question To Ponder Indeed - for those who have nothing better to do, that is! Now, let's peek at the top contenders , shall we? And try and guess for which color I voted; to which the luminous vote goes to...! Note the absence of RED! I'm so glad! So glad to see it glow by its conspicuous absence! Damn crimson crap is overrated anyways! Scarl-e-atine scum! Bloody bloodsucka, ya! *LOL*

You tell me: 'cause I just don't know anymore! The mandatory remix dance version is not enough anymore, it would seem... Here's just one "subject-case" example... And I'm not sure which is worst too: that there are so many bastardizations of one of the greatest soundtracks of all-time OR that some ignorant fools erroneously attribute the fine work of one luminous Lisa Gerrard to (well, equally luminous) Enya! Hmm...

Nope - not this year! Let's be SELECTIVE this year; selective and retrospective! Thus - a very quick recap first and then, our pick for 2008! Fine with you? It better be! Okay now, then - if this song was THE SONG OF THE YEAR for 2007 (as far as I was concerned) This one has to be IT - for 2008, for ME... (And it is all about ME here - MY blog and I!) Close second would be this one: Hey - it was Leslie Feist's year, okay?!? 'Nuff said!

Discover Danielle Dax ! The perfect song to "celebrate" sixteen years of pain, illness and suffering... Hmm... Maybe...

Everybody was marveling in itty-bitty Quebec, this Christmas season, over a certain Christmas-themed new CD release, from the artist formerly known as... Rita-Rita. Now, do not get me wrong here: I always thought the artist in question is a diamond in the rough, an overlooked and too often underrated TRUE ARTISTE - who simply had the misfortune of having tried to start off her career in a most commercial (and sort-of corny, tongue-firmly-in-cheek) way, as "Rita-Rita" - she who sang surrounded by alien misfits and other oddities... I liked the "joie de vivre" and all-around contagious goofiness that permeated the atmosphere when Rita-Rita sang... uh... okay, I forget the title of the one track that made it as a single release (and that got a video-clip shot for it as well) but I remember that it sure did ROCK! And that should be good enough for YOU too! ;) Now, we are in 2008 - soon to be 2009... "Rita-Rita" is long dead - for years now, the arti...
