Better Work Outs

I’ve been following a segment on ESPN’s Truehoop about sports journalists going through a sort of pro-style one-week basketball training camp, and it made me realize that there are a lot of reasons why athletes are in better shape than the average person.  Aside from the genetic aspect, their workouts are cool.  First of all, it’s their job, not in addition to their job.  And second, they have all these cool resources that make it more fun and more effective.

To start, they have a structured workout that actually works and top of the line equipment that actually works.  My local 24-Hour Fitness is pretty nice, but their personal trainer programs cost a bunch of money, and their equipment isn’t immune to the occasional malfunction that takes a week to fix. They have a Hot tub and I like to use it on occasion, when it isn’t broken down.

I think it’s really the after-workout program that appeals to me.  After their workout, the participants in the program got to take a dip in the hot tube, spend 10 minutes in the ice tub and get a professional masseuse.  Even the participants admitted that it made the next day infinitely better than their usual day-afters.

I’m thinking maybe I’ll go down to the discount hot tubs and spas outlet and get a portable hot tub to sit in after my workouts.  That way I’ll be more inclined to stay in shape… or drink beer in the hot tub.  I think I win either way.

Hidden Cameras as Entertainment

One of the most entertaining forms of entertainment can be the media that people don’t know is being taken.  It’s amazing how big of a fool people will make of themselves when they don’t know there is a hidden camera.  For that reason, a spy cam can be a lot of fun — and plenty of obnoxious kids and teens amuse themselves by getting embarrassing videos of friends and family when spycams.

A nanny cam can also capture videos that are a source of embarrassment — or, as often as not, videos that can make or break someone’s career.  I think what people will do when no one is watching shows a lot about their true character.  Personally, I’d rather be the type who does silly things to embarrass myself, rather than being mean and nasty to children when I’m alone with them.

I think another form of entertainment that reminds me of hidden camera videos is the whole reality TV thing.  The people on reality shows usually know that there is a camera on them, but they don’t really know the full story of what is going on.  Therefore I think they do plenty of embarrassing things.  I actually think reality shows often bring out the worst side of human nature, which is why I don’t watch them anymore.

Here’s a little lighthearted fun with embarrassing videos:

What a Weekend!

Donna’s new backyard is gorgeous.  It is just unbelievable, and I can’t believe the amount of money she just burns through on any given day.  She just went to Italy and spent nine thousand euro on two purses.  That is euro mind you, not dollars.  Nine thousand euro translated into dollars is a lot of money.  I don’t know the exchange rate off the top of my head, but it’s a lot.  Anyway, her back yard is great; the outdoor kitchen plans are obviously very professional, with a lot of depth created and a really good use of the space.  I’ll say this about Donna: she’s not that bright, but she knows how to spend a buck.  She has an out door kitchen with an outdoor fireplace, and two three year olds.  Did she really think the very best idea for a large entertainment space that blocks the way to the kid’s play area was to fill it with fire? Obviously Joey, the marginally more idiotic of her two spoiled and obnoxious children, decided it would be a great idea to chase his brother, trip, and fall into the fire.  He only burned his hand, but the way Donna started howling I actually thought it was chopped off.  I’m not going back there anytime soon.

YouTube: Jessica Simpson at the Dentist

Sometimes it really amazes me the level of interest we have in celebrities’ lives.  Take this YouTube video, for example: almost two full minutes of watching Jessica Simpson in the dentist’s chair!

Potomac sedation dentistry isn’t difficult to find.  I don’t know about you, but I don’t to be able to feel a thing — and if it’s a really big job, like when I had my wisdom teeth extracted, I don’t want to be awake for it either!

Jessica didn’t seem to mind getting her mouth worked on, but maybe she’s used to holding her mouth open for long periods of time…  Ha ha.  Actually, her dentist did seem very nice, but did you hear him chiding her for waiting too long?  Whatever — she has some of the whitest teeth I’ve ever seen!

Speaking of white teeth, if you’re looking for Washington DC teeth veneers, make sure you check out several dentists to make sure you’re getting the best quality and value.  Washington DC cosmetic dentistry is a dime a dozen, it seems like, and you won’t want to go with the very first dentist you find.

Whomever you choose to do your teeth, though, at least you won’t have a camera in your face while you’re in the chair!

Looking for a Versatile Wedding DJ Tampa Pro

I’m down to three months and counting for my big day. I just can’t wait to get up in front of all my friends and family and say “I do” to the guy of my dreams. Unfortunately, as the clock is ticking down, my guy and I have so much left to do I can’t see straight! Tops on my list is finding a versatile wedding DJ Tampa expert to handle moving the festivities along.

Making sure I have the right DJ to spin some tunes is almost as important to me as finding a great Tampa wedding photographer and a  Tampa wedding video company. Alas, I digress.

So, why am I so wigged out about finding a good DJ? If you met my family and my honey’s family, you’d understand! Their musical styles are so diverse that putting it all together is almost insane, but that’s exactly what I’m looking for in a DJ. I want everyone at my wedding to have a great time!

Thanks to some research on the Internet, I think I have found the perfect choice. I’ve discovered that the very best DJs not only know their stuff when it comes to announcing wedding festivities, but they can also tailor their tunes to fit the crowd.

I think I’m going to be happy with the selection. I have to admit, though, if I had it to do all over again, I would have planned on finding the DJ a little earlier along to give myself more peace of mind!
