More Access

I mentioned in a previous post about my new addiction to cable access. Well, I recently came across a show that left me speechless. Let me introduce you to Eye On Entertainment. The show features this model/actress named Dawna Lee Heising who wears tons of makeup and looks like she's had way to much work done on her face. So much so that I don't think she can actually smile.

I've said enough. Check it out for yourself.

Here's more video. YouTube page

Birthday Week in Review

I thought I'd blog about the great week I had this past week.

Tuesday: I got to participate in a focus group about nutrition labeling in restaurant menus and fast food menu boards. Now, I could care less about nutrition facts at a restaurant. If I'm going out to eat, I'm not really think about that. Although, I do think it's a good idea. I just wouldn't pay attention to it. BTW, did I mention that they payed me cash?! $75! Woohoo!

Wednesday: The lovely Miss Monica invited me to her company's Christmas dinner. Free Food! Can't beat that. It was at some restaurant in Rockville called Timpano. It was tasty. And, did I mention it was free?! $0! Woohoo!

Thursday: Some weeks ago, I won three tickets in the White House Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony Lottery. So, Joey, Missy, and I Metro'd over. Now, even though I had standing room and could only see part of the stage, and despite the cold temps., a good time was had by all. Oh! Did I mention that I got to see President Obama! Of course, he was about an inch tall from my vantage point. $Priceless! Woohoo!

Friday: For my birthday, Andi and I went to the DC Improv to see Adam Ferrara. Folks, that man is funny. I'd never seen his stand up before, but I'm a fan of him on the TV show Rescue Me. And, he was nice enough to take a picture with me after the show. Later we went over to the ellipse to see the tree because Andi had never done the whole White House Tree thing before. $20! Woohoo!

Saturday: My mom took me out for a birthday lunch. Then, later that evening, I had a movie night with some friends. You see, a small of group of my friends and I have a movie group where we get together occasionally at each other's houses to watch movies. This time it was at my house, which meant that I got to choose the menu. I decided on breakfast. So, I, along with Andi, whipped up some Belgian waffles and made to order omelets. Then we enjoyed the movie "Holiday Inn". $Priceless! Woohoo!

And on the seventh day, I rested. . . Actually, I guess it was the sixth day of my Birthday Week O' Fun. Although, I didn't quite rest since I had to work.

So, I just want to say thanks to all my friends who helped make it a fun week. . . And now, back to the normal day to day again. . . woohoo. . .

Fun Quiz

Tim Allen, Billy BobThorton, Edmund Qwenn, Paul Giamatti, they've all played Santa Clause in the movies. But, how well do you know their movies? Well, here's a quiz to test your knowledge.

SANTA MOVIE QUIZ

I got 8 right. I thought I'd do better.

I Sing Because I'm Happy

I did something Saturday that I haven't done in a long time. . . NOOOOOOOO, not that. I went to a bar. At this bar, I did something I haven't done in an even longer time, I did karaoke.

Andi and I happened to catch a couple of movies that day. With no evening plans, she suggested going to a bar she knew of that did karaoke. At first I was going to say no. You see, in the past, when I've gone to karaoke with friends, it's been at bars that didn't necessarily cater to the music that I know most, having grown up a black kid (imagine that) listening to mostly soul and R&B music. She pointed out that this bar had a huge catalogue. So, I figured, why not? Folks, we knocked'em dead.

Since we were the only ones singing duets, and since we are both singers, they loved us. Especially, when we hit the harmonies. The host even chose us to be featured in their "Spotlight", where they choose the three best acts of the night to sing two songs in a row, followed by a question and answer session.

Dwellers, it was the most fun I'd had in a long time. Without going into detail, let me just say, it's been a rough year for me. I really needed that evening. White Mocha, your HBCM thanks you.

Now, I need you all's help. The one problem I had that night was that it took me forever to find something to sing, mostly because the catalogue was so big, I couldn't narrow my search. So, I need some suggestion on what I should sing next time. You all know my range. Also, give me some good duets to consider.

OMG! A New Post!

Well, I don't know if anyone still checks my blog anymore since I haven't posted anything in months. I apologize for that. I haven't really done much worth blogging about this year. Anyway, I came across a video that I thought was HIGHlarious. It's a Sesame Street spoof of the Old Spice commercials. Enjoy!

Addictive Commercials

I'll have to remember this one the next time I fire up the grill.

OK, you're probably saying, "Antonio, what's up with the spelling on the title of this post?" Well, that was deliberate to introduce you to my Funny Site O' The Day,

I Deserve A Break Today

Sometimes, on my way home from work, I like to stop at the McDonalds drive-thru for an ice cream cone. Now, since I'm driving, I always ask for a cup for the ice cream cone. Afterall, I really don't want to drive around with ice cream dripping down my hand. I would say that about 80% of the time, when I ask for a cup, I get a puzzled look from the employees. After they finally figure out what I am asking for, about 90% of the workers try to turn the ice cream cone upside down into the cup, as opposed to just putting the cup over the ice cream and then flipping it over.


About two weeks ago, I stopped for a cone. As usual, I asked for a cup. The worker's response, "A WHAT?! YOU WANT A WHAT?!" After shouting at me, I guess she still didn't understand. So, she went and asked a manager, who gave her a funny look. Then, in a matter of fact way, told her to give me a cup.


A cup?! Is that such an odd request?

My latest voiceover gig was two commercials for the Workhouse Arts Center. I think I'm getting better, but I still feel like I need some work. Check it out.

Addictive Commercials

Long time Haven Dwellers may remember the Frankie and Johnny's commercial that I posted years ago. You know, the furniture store which offered free fried chicken if you spent a certain amount on furniture. Well, I found a newer one. No fried chicken, but just as cheesy. Check it out!

 

I also found a parody that someone did.
