An Ode to NYC

NEW YORK is one of my favourite cities. I wish I visited it more when I lived in Connecticut. It's an incredibly beautiful, vibrant place to get lost.

JAMIE SCOTT shot 15 different locations around Central Park for 6 months and shot this timelapse video as the seasons changed. Enjoy.

Panda-monium

IF GIVEN the opportunity, I would move to China to take care of pandas. I love them that much. If you've ever seen them play on a slide, you would understand why. If you haven't seen that beauty, behold…

YOU'RE WELCOME.

Mumford Lolz

I AM a huge fan of Mumford & Sons. I have a Pinterest board of them, I have their CD's on repeat in my car, and I'm pretty certain I will cry if I ever get to see them live (that much of a fan).

SO WHEN I saw this video… I realized what happiness is. Happiness is Jason Bateman, Ed Helms, Jason Sudeikis and that guy from Saturday Night Live acting as the band in the Hopeless Wanderer music video.

AMAZING.

Penguin Fails

I'M QUITE a penguin lover. They're pretty amazing - they're always wearing tuxedos, they can surf and they mate for life. All pretty cool things. But this video of penguin fails is 50% best thing you will ever see, and 50% saddest thing you will ever see. Very conflicting, very enticing.

NO PENGUINS were harmed in the making of this video... Well at least I don't think so.

Gettin' Owned

SO 2013 has owned me and time has made me its bitch.

LET ME elaborate… I had high hopes of owning my time this year. Of exercising and getting healthy. Of writing more. Of starting and completing a Google course. Of reading all the books I own. But 2013 had other plans. I got super busy and neglected things I shouldn't of (like ol' Katastrophe).

IN THIS busy time, I have come across many an awesome thing on the webs that is the Internet. So I'm finally gonna take the time to share it. If you've seen it, sorry… Cry me a river. I think it's awesome and it needs to be written about.

MY FIRST piece of joy is a double whammy! Please be educated now on how animals eat their food…

WITH OVER 68 million views, Mister Epic Mann is pretty much the best thing since sliced bread. Don't believe them? Check out another gem on seven ways to discipline your child.

YOU'RE WELCOME. More joy to follow.

Why 2012 Rocked the Interwebs

WHAT'S PRETTY awesome about the beginning of a new year, a lot of posts and Best Of's surface from the year before. Some posts can be average, some from the heart, and some mind-blowing. This video is the last one.

IT'S A Google-created video using Google search, Google +, Google Maps and YouTube. If you ever need to be inspired by the Internet, this is your go-to video. "Never stop searching."

Oh Tard!

IF YOU haven't heard of Tard the Grumpy Cat, I no longer want to speak to you. Because you will not be able to understand my absolute obsession with this grumpy cat! Observe...

NOW DO you understand what I'm going on about? It's pretty much the best cat EVER! And now there's a Tard Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook and of course meme.

 I PURRED once... It was awful.

Panda Surprise

THIS VIDEO is probably one of the best videos you will ever see. With over 151 million views, I think the Internet agrees with me. It's a momma panda and her baby. Need I say more? Just watch the video....

NOW THIS week another viral panda video has been released. I've watched it about 30 times so far. Introducing the red panda surprise...

I APOLOGIZE if your heart exploded from cuteness.

Cute Ways to Die

THIS VIDEO on "Dumb Ways to Die" is going viral. When I first saw the title, I thought it was another video about people being stupid. Lame-O. But then I watched it and it has now become my life's theme song. Listen up...

DOESN'T THIS video make dying look kinda cute? Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go stick a knife in a toaster and find a red button to push.

Cape Town Will Capture My Heart

I HAVE just returned from a week break in Cape Town, the place that the more I visit, the more it feels like a second home.

WE VISITED one of my favourite places in the entire world, the Drakenstein Lion Park. It's a park that rescues lions from circuses or owners that aren't taking care of them properly (one owner kept a lion cub on a balcony in Lebanon). The lions are then brought to the park where they live a happy life in large enclosures (unfortunately they can't return back into the wild). They also just received two tigers from the Tygerberg Zoo which just closed down so of course we had to go visit the latest additions!

Is this not the happiest pic of a lion you've ever seen?!?

The tiger addition.

Little Leo, rescued from Lebanon.

Asad, also a Lebanon rescue.

 Images via Drakenstein Lion Park. On the way back, we stopped in Franschoek, a town surrounded by wine farms. Gorgeous place! Then the main reason we went to CT.... to watch Linkin Park! What an epic show! They resurrected my love for them that has been dormant for a few years but now I'm gonna go out and buy every album I've missed over the years. Chester's scream still makes my knees go weak. And Mike made rapping look cool again. I got the below images from Big Concerts as my images weren't too great with my little point-and-shoot camera but the videos came out well.

UNFORTUNATELY MOST of the other videos either have the boyf singing loudly in the background or shakes around too much. Here is the best vid we got of the night...

AND THEN it was back to Durbs...

Spicey Terry

OLD SPICE commercials are effing great. Exhibit A...

NOW THEY'VE created something even greater, an interactive commercial. With Terry Crews. Each key on the keyboard results in Terry (wearing teeny tiny shorts and connected to different instruments) playing or doing a certain move. Yes, it's the best thing you will find on the Internet. Exhibit B...



SAUSAGES! Now go have fun, kids...
