Breaking News: John Travolta is gay!

Earlier this year South Park aired an episode entitled Trapped In The Closet where they ripped on Scientology and accused Tom Cruise and John Travolta of being...well trapped in the closet. Despite having a banging hot wife (Kelly Preston) this photo shows John Travolta giving his "friend" a fond farewell kiss.

How to solve the two biggest problems facing America right now.

Bring all our troops home from Iraq to guard the border. When they catch an illegal immigrant crossing the border, hand him a canteen, rifle, and some ammo and ship him to Iraq. Tell him if he wants to come to America then he must serve a tour in the military. Give him a soldier's pay while he's there and tax him on it. After his tour, he will be allowed to become a citizen since he defended this country. He will also be registered to be taxed and be a legal patriot.

This option will probably deter illegal immigration and provide a solution for the troops in Iraq and the aliens trying to make a better life for themselves. If they refuse to serve, ship them to Iraq anyway without the canteen, rifle, or ammo.

Problem solved.

Breaking News from Washington, DC.

Five million of our older Americans have not signed up yet for their Medicare, Part D, drug plan...they are old and confused. We are not going to grant them an extension to enroll later on.

However, 12 million illegal aliens are in our country and we are going to allow them to stay, protest, procreate, receive support monies, attend schools, avoid paying income taxes, have our teachers take 300 hours of ESL (English as a Second Language) training at our expense.

WE MUST REALLY DISLIKE OUR OLD PEOPLE!

Happy Birthday wishes going out to our east coast homey Stacy Tingen today. Stacy and I grew up in the old neighborhood together and spent many a summer getting into all kinds of mischief and it's always good to relive those days whenever we see Stacy. So here's to hoping you have a great day and we'll see you soon!

(Sorry...this is the most recent pic I have of you...from xmas 2005)

Happy Birthday Stacy!

We had a pretty laid back weekend since we're planning on having lots of fun next weekend. There's a big street festival next weekend and we're planning on going out for drinks and crab legs with Tuti & Casie too.

• Friday night I spent most of the night shooting The Black Pearl as you can see below.

• Saturday we went to Ikea for some Swedish meatballs and to pick up a few little items for the house.

• Sunday was spent working on "someone's" new blog site followed by the always dreaded trip to the laundromat but it wasn't that bad this week. I've been trying not to wear clothes. Ha-ha!

I managed to track down The Black Pearl again tonite and got some great shots as she sat quietly moored in a protected inlet. I made sure that I got there way before the sunset this time and waited til the sun got in just the right spot then started clicking away. I got a few hundred like this. Enjoy!

So this is how trees reproduce!

I managed to get the inside scoop on the the whereabouts of The Black Pearl and when they'd be shooting some scenes for Pirates of The Caribbean III this week so I managed to get some decent shots earlier this evening. I got there later than I would have liked so the lighting wasn't that great but I may have another shot tomorrow night or possibly Friday night.

Here are the shots I got of The Black Pearl out in the Pacific. Enjoy!

[ Smoke from the battle scene and cannon fire ]

[ Sailing away...I overexposed to add more light but it turned out ok ]
  

The world's greatest domain name is finally up for sale and if you're looking for a great Christmas gift for me this would be it. Jimmy.com is finally up for sale and I've been waiting on it for years. Unfortunately the starting price is $28,000 which is a little more than I had planned on spending but if every JimmyPowell.com fan chips in we can do this! Ha-ha!

I am soooo stoked about this. Next July 4th is the release date of Transformers the movie which is destined to be a blockbuster. Little bits and pieces are leaking on the net and these are two that just surfaced this weekend. Pictured are Bumble bee in robot form and Optimus Prime in truck mode. Don't know why they decided to give OP flames. I hate when they do stuff like that but it won't keep me out of the theatre next July. I think this is one that me and Mike D will have to see together since he's a huge transformers fan.

In case you couldn't tell, we love going to the movies and this weekend we saw Talladega Nights which was (in my opinion) hysterical. If you're a Will Ferrell fan then you'll Talladega Nights. I was cracking up the whole time and the outtakes at the end are worth sticking around for. Kim on the other hand wasn't impressed but she's never been a Will Ferrell fan. No biggie. Next week is her turn to pick the movie. :-)
