Floyd Mayweather and Juan Manuel Marquez

Everyone is getting pumped up for the Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight. No official announcement has been made on the date of the fight, but according to Boxing News 24, the fight will take place on March 13th, 2010, and will be held in Las Vegas. Big surprise, right? Again, this information is not set in stone, but still, will likely hold.

Just out of curiosity, how many of you are actually excited for this fight? I don't know about a lot of people, but for me, I stopped watching boxing a long time ago. MMA is simply WAY more entertaining. Maybe it's just me, but that's my two cents.

For more information about the Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight, check out BoxingNews24.

Derek Loux DEAD :(

Field of goldfields (Lasthenia californica), a low-lying wildflower that creates a yellow

The Examiner is reporting that Derek Loux is dead, after a fatal car crash which took place in Nebraska. Examiner makes it clear that this statement has not been confirmed! UPDATE BELOW!

Although statements haven't been confirmed it's said that Derek was on a ministry trip.

Derek Loux is currently married to Renee. Altogether, the couple has 9 children together. If he is gone, it'll be a tragedy.

It's not known where these rumors first originated, so we'll have to currently view the rumors as such.

Update! I just looked on Twitter, and it seems that a lot of people believe that he has died. This is very very sad news - especially before the holidays.

My condolences go out to Derek Loux's family and friends.

Yamaha PDX-60 Speaker Dock - For Christmas?

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Yamaha. All opinions are 100% mine.

It's the holiday season and people won't stop asking me what I want for Christmas. I have been doing the research and I ran into a product called the Yamaha PDX-60 Speaker Dock.

For me, music is a huge part of my life. Good songs keep me motivated to workout, do my job, and complete school work. Listening to good songs with a high quality device makes me get tasks done 10 times faster than if I didn't listen to anything.

The Yamaha PDX-60 Speaker Dock is a great product with multiple positives. To use this device, you simply hook your iPod up to it. After that, be prepared to hear quality sound with a good amount of bass. Not only does this device play high quality music, it can also charge two separate iPhone or iPod devices at the same time. Nothing beats that.

Yamaha PDX-60 Speaker Dock - For Christmas?

To the left is a photo of me listening to my iPod. I took the picture as I was writing this post. Again, this is a prime example of how I use music while I am working.

Overall, the Yamaha PDX-60 Speaker Dock is definitely something that I would recommend checking out. It also makes a great Christmas gift, so be sure to check it out. SocialSpark Disclosure Badge

Balloon Boy Parents Sentenced!!

Balloon Boy Parents Arrive For Sentencing in Fort Collins, Colorado

We all remember the idiotic parents who became famous for their balloon boy hoax. In good news today, they've been sentenced to serve some time in jail... They better not receive any special treatments for being 'famous.'

According to CSMonitor, Richard Heene will go to jail for 3 months, while his wife Mayumi will go for 2/3 of a month. I've also heard that they will have to pay a fine of around $40,000, as direct results of police and military attempting to 'rescue' their boy.

I really hope the 15 minutes of fame was worth the time. These guys are going to get eaten up in jail. Talk about a comedy-story for the prisoners. They're going to give these guys so much garbage.

In the mean time, I haven't heard about what will happen to the balloon boy himself. His parents have been sentenced, and are to now do their time. But what about their kid? Where does he go?

Overall, this was a stupid - stupid - stupid stunt. If you want to get famous, make a Youtube video, lay back, and watch your video get millions of views. It's not that difficult. In fact, I had a video on Youtube that had 100,000 + views.

Things like this are pretty funny, but at the same time, remember the serious efforts police and military put in to saving a life. When it's a prank, someone else who was truely in need of help, could've been saved. Stuff like this simply pisses me off. I'm glad the balloon boy parents were sentenced. Hopefully their kid gets placed in good hands.

Buju Banton Arrested!!!

Premiere Of "The Agronomist" For The National Coalition For Hatian Rights - After Party

Buju Banton has been arrested on drug charges, with intent to distribute.

The reggae artist recently had his shows canceled at two local locations in Tampa, Bay Florida, because of his wrongdoings. The Cuban Club still hosted Buju's show in October, and since then, they've been bashed for doing so.

But this time, things are a little more serious for Buju, as the U.S. Attorney's Office has requested him to come back to Tampa, to be tried for what he has done.

What do you guys think about Buju Banton?

Nobody likes this guy, and nobody is going to cut him slack. I'd expect him to go to jail for some time, especially for what he's being tried for.

Do you think he'll be serve time in prison?

The question should be, how much time do you think he will serve? Yes. He has been arrested, and he is in custody, just to clear that up.

What do you think about his anti-gay lyrics?

Freedom of speech. I don't agree with his lyrics, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Personally, I think his lyrics are 110% jacked up. I don't think anyone should be tortured simply because they like the same sex. I can't believe people actually say things like this.

More information about this case will be released sometime in the near future. Buju Banton being arrested is no surprise to most. Now, it's just determining how long he's going to spend in prison.

Rick Paddle!! CHECK HIM OUT!

I was doing a paid post about PopStation.Com. If you're unfamiliar with the site, it gives you the ability to submit a song for a chance to win a VIP Recording.

Anyway, I was going through the list of artists and listening to their music... No offense, but dang people, why would some of you even consider entering? Hopefully, and I'm guessing I'm probably going to be right, but hopefully, your entry was just for fun.

On a positive note, I found an artist named Rick Paddle.

Like many other artists, Rick has a Myspace, and he's actually pretty good. I would definitely go ahead and check him out. He's not very popular, but I definitely think he has the abilities to run away with this contest, and become even bigger, on a whole 'nother level.

Remember his name, Rick Paddle!

Anyway, guys, I just wanted to do this quick post before I went to bed. Be sure to check him out. Add him on Myspace, and drop him a comment, if you like his stuff, that is.

Alright, guys. I'm out.

Quickie Divorce

Quickie Divorce

I am not hear to judge you, or tell you to try to work things out with your spouse.

I am here to tell you how and where to get a quickie divorce, along with mentioning some of the positives and negatives of taking this route.

But before I talk about any of that, we need to determine whether or not a quickie divorce is right for you and your spouse.

Is a Quickie Divorce Right for You?

Whether you like it or not, quickie divorces take effort between both parties.

A lot of settlements will have to be agreed upon, before any divorce can ever take place.

Examples:

  • Custody of kids
  • Who get's to keep what items
  • Money

You must be able to discuss...

If you can discuss things calmly and rationally, and evenly fair things out, you'll be on your way to being single. If you can't split things up yourselves, you'll likely end up in divorce court, which will lengthen the process tremendously.

You must come to an agreement....

If you think you can do this, continue reading. If not, you'll be in for a long battle in court, and my best wishes go out to you.

How and Where Should I get a Quickie Divorce?

If everything is settled between you and your partner, you're on your way to getting the fastest divorce of your lives. That way, you can pack your bags (if you haven't already done so), and move on to the 'promise land.' (whatever that may mean to you.)

Some places that offer super fast divorces...

  • Nevada
  • UK

(For more locations, contact your lawyer)

After you've found a location that suits you both...

1. Ask your lawyer if your state will allow this kind of divorce.

2. If he/she gives you the green light, you're good to go.

3. Fly, Drive, Walk, or RUN (really really fast) to specified location.

4. Follow instructions from there.

Positives and Negatives of Quickie Divorces

Positives

  • Faster (obviously)
  • Less stressful in the long run
  • Cheaper
  • No battles
  • Agreement of settlements
  • Smoother

Negatives

  • Less time to 'win spouse back.'
  • Less time to make life-changing decisions.
  • May not be offered in your area.
  • May need money for traveling.
  • Quicker changes may be harder on you / kids.

I'm sure there are many more positives / negatives, but this is what I could come up with at 2:00 AM. Lol

Do What's Best!

No matter what route you and your spouse decide to take, I wish you the best of luck. If you do decide to get a quickie divorce, I hope that all goes well.

Jamie Lee Darley Victoria Secret!!!

53rd Cannes Film Festival

Jamie Lee Darley has made it into Victoria Secret's top 5. This means that she's still in the running for a spot on Victoria Secret's runway, as a runway model. She's come this far, but can she snag the #1 spot?

Although she may not realize it, the fact that she's becoming so popular will likely be enough of a career boost to get her a job elsewhere. However, this is definitely not what she's competing for.

Jamie Lee Darley was amongst 9 other finalists in the contest.

  • Kylie Bisutti, 19, Simi Valley, Ca.;
  • Krystina Holbrook, 20, El Dorado Hills, Ca.;
  • Catharina Lee, 20, Washington, D.C.;
  • Alicia Hall, 24, Las Vegas;
  • Raven Ervin, 24, Birmingham, Al.;
  • Courtney O'Conner, 20, Raleigh, N.C.
  • Allison Turner, 23, Cape Girardeau, Mo.;
  • Katelyn Fortes, 18, Boston;
  • Jamie Lee Darley, 23, Carmel, Ca.;
  • Tika Iveaj, 25, Detroit

Like I said, the competition has been cut to 5, however, I was not able to find out who was cut.

It should be interesting to see where things head for Jamie, who recently appeared on Good Day La, with her fellow contestant, Kylie Bisutti.

I wonder who will get lucky enough to win the Victoria Secret challenge, and earn a spot on the run way? What do you guys think, is Jamie Lee Darley #1? Post your comments below.

Nicky Whelan WORKOUT!

advertisement

Halloween II Los Angeles Premiere

All of the guys are looking at Twilight's Taylor Lautner, and asking themselves, "How'd he get so ripped?" On the other end of the spectrum, the ladies are looking at Nicky Whelan, and asking themselves, "How does she stay in such great shape?"

After hearing about the Australian model and actress, I wanted to learn more about her workout routine. I decided to go ahead and search the internet to see what I could find.

First off, if you're not familiar with Nicky Whelan, she appeared in "Neighbours," as well as, one episode of "Scrubs." My friend, who is familiar with her, stated that she was also in a Rob Zombie movie. I just looked on IMBD, and this is verified.

Alright, let's get to the good stuff. What is the Nicky Whelan workout?

Well, it turns out that it's not readily available on the internet, but I can tell you how to get a body like hers, based of an answer at Yahoo Answers.

  1. Work-out 4-5 days a week
  2. Lift light weights at 4 sets of 12-15 reps.
  3. 4 days of cardio max for 30 mins
  4. Drink plenty of water and cut out or limit sugars and bad carbs .
  5. Eat plenty of healthy foods
  6. Eat 5-6 small meals a day and don't let your calories dip below 1400 .

Being familiar with personal fitness, this is great advice. Girls who are looking for a toned - lean body, need to lift light weights, at the recommended repetitions in step 1.

It's equally important to follow each of the listed steps above. It's especially important to EAT. If you don't eat, you won't have energy to workout. Be sure to see how many calories you should consume, by checking an online calorie calculator, for your height and weight.

Although this isn't the Nicky Whelan workout, it's as equally as effective. Keep doing research, and checking out online websites for more information.
