The Bumblebee Tuna Commercial and More

Bumble Bee Tuna Commercial




When I grew up in the sixties and seventies, they had commercials with this same Bumblebee Tuna jingle. Now, they brought it back with some guy singing and playing a guitar. He looks like a throwback to the hippie years, possibly a Bobby Sherman lookalike. Whenever I see this commercial I wonder. I was too young to know much about sixties pop stars so I don't know. Still, this is an amusing commercial, whoever he is. Sort of creepy and funny at the same time.


Here's another commercial that if you listen to it, you'll probably have the song stuck in your head for the rest of the day.

A cool creature: the Mantis Shrimp

I've drawn this interesting crustacean many times, they are fascinating but look, don't touch. These guys pack a punch. Literally.

Happy St.Pat's from Two Purring Cats!

It's St.Patrick's Day and being Scotch-Irish, it's my duty to celebrate, even if it is from home here at my desk. Living in Florida, I miss my hometown of Cleveland, Ohio and it's great parade that my friends and I used to go to every year. Things here in Florida aren't the same but there are celebrations around, which I may go check out later. Still, it isn't St. Patrick's Day without my buddy Linda Yee, who's up in Cleveland surely having a good time downtown. I'm there in spirit :)

See more about the pic above here, that's Beau my cat who is honorarily Irish today:

The Twitter Song

My Article on CNN

Today I got a phone call from a producer from CNN regarding an article I'd written. I nearly fell over as I was being interviewed, for the network. They were really nice and it's slated to be on tv (doing the "dance of joy" over here.)

A Cold Night in Florida

The back of the Popcorn Shop in Chagrin Falls, my hometown in Ohio


I love this weather, it's actually cold outside! Being from Ohio, I really appreciate cool weather now that it's not common down here in southwestern Florida. I get to pull out my sweaters and jackets from my closets and actually wear them! Life is good.

The poor strawberry farmers, though, don't appreciate the lower temps. They are worried about their crops, of course, as strawberries are in season and the last thing the farmers need are damaged produce. It's all over the news here, everyone has their fingers crossed that it won't frost here. The colder temps go more inland than Pinellas county, where I am. The farmers live inland mostly, and that is where it has a better chance of actually freezing. I went out to Plant City once, where they grow practially everything commercially. It is beautiful out there, just endless rows of produce growing for miles. There's a huge strawberry festival held out there every year that brings people from miles around. One of these years I'll actually go, it's kind of far from me but worth the trip, I hear from Floridian friends.

So, tonight I'm slacking off of working on artwork, after a day of working on this computer. I'm watching Ghost Hunters, an interesting show I never miss where they go into all kinds of old buildings and look for paranormal phenomenona. It's kind of funny to watch, especially when someone freaks out, sparking the rest of the crew to do the same at times. Better them than me. When I was in Mexico, I remember there were strong beliefs in the paranormal there. I saw a lady bless a newly opened store with a fluttering chicken (which was unhurt just waved around) and smoky burning stuff. I know nothing about all of this but it was interesting to watch, they said they were trying to ward off bad spirits or luck by doing that. It's interesting to observe.

My cat Beau is sleeping on my ankles. Being a southern cat, he gets cold easier than Fluffy and I do (we're both from Cleveland). Whenever it's cold, I can guarantee Beau is going to wedge his cute self up against me to keep "warm", even if the temperatures in here are totally perfect, it's around 75 indoors here, according to my thermostat. No humidity, no bugs. If Florida was this way all the time, I'd really love it. As it stands, we'll start to roast in a few months. One of these days I may move a little more north, to get seasons again but not the severity of my Ohio hometown. Time will tell.

Let the Inauguration Festivities Begin

The formal Presidential Inauguration isn't until Tuesday but the celebrating and partying have already begun as Barack Obama makes his way to the white house via his Whistle Stop train tour. I've been watching it on CNN as I work, here at home. My back hurts (back pain acting up) so I won't be attending the local parties here, as it hurts to walk but I'm not letting that bother me. It's just great knowing that Obama will be in office soon, as George Bush slinks off into the sunset with his tail between his legs. It's nice to be home, watching it all on tv instead of freezing over in Washington DC, in cold temperatures and big crowds. Life is good.

Sure, Mr.Obama and Mr.Biden have a huge responsibility on their hands, fixing the huge mistakes of the last eight years. But, if anyone can do it, I'm sure they can. It's quite exciting, and the whole country is electrified as we wait for the swearing in. Washington D.C. is a wonderful place, I've been there numerous times, he will fit in perfectly there, and class it up even more than it already is.







Footnote to George Bush and his administration: Here's a song dedicated to you:
