Q: What's the background of your unusual name?
"In French, LaBeouf means 'beef,' but mine is spelled wrong. It should be 'LaBoeuf.' My grandmother was a beatnik lesbian in the '50s, who hated her family and decided to change the spelling, and it's been that way ever since. So you go to France and people are like, 'LaBeouf? You have an illiterate last name.' By the way, Shia is a bad four-letter word in French. So the literal translation of my name is 'Shit the Beef.' Kind of rock-starry isn't it?"
- Shia LaBeouf to Parade magazine.
- Hilarious.
The biggest loss ever....

No Passing Go - No collecting $700 Billion either!
Shit is going down - Like the DOW - Read more here! Bushy's bailout bill has not passed go in the House for approval. Now it seems those in Washington have to start from scratch and attempt to cut, copy , paste and revise the bill befiore anyone collects the money. Expecting a defeat, the Dow fell 700 points today.Don't Call Me!!
You called at dinner time my whole life, but now baby, you won't be calling me anymore!!
As you may or may not be aware, Canadian Radio-Television Broadcasting is creating a National Do Not Call List for Telemarketers. Heck yes!! You won't be able to avoid ALL calls, but most you will.Who can still call you?
- There are certain kinds of telemarketing calls and faxes that are exempt from the National DNCL, including those made by or on behalf of:
- registered charities seeking donations
- newspapers looking for subscriptions
- political parties and their candidates, and
- companies with whom you have an existing commercial relationship; for example, if you have done business with a company in the previous 18 months––such as a carpet-cleaning company––that company can call you.
Vintage is the New Black
I rented the SATC movie for the weekend and I loved it. It's a real feel good episode and conclusion to a much loved show. I decided to take a peep at www.bagborroworsteal.com. Carrie's assistant, in the
movie Louise from St.Luis swears by the site. You can rent vintage and brand new accessories for a week, a month, or as long as your little heart desires. You can also view items featured in the Sex and the City movie. I haven't looked at the site for a while but they totally nave more stuff now tha
t when I last looked at it. All products are 100% authentic and come with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. The collection of vintage bags and jewelry are gorgeous. Looking at pricing, it look
s like items start around $15/week and vintage stuff, my favorites, start around $150/week. There is also the option to 'steal' which means the item is available for purchase.

"One action - either positive or negative – can tip the world to one side or the other. Now, every single one of us has the responsibility, through our own lives and actions, to diminish this darkness by awakening more Light.
There is no better time to do this than during the holiday of Rosh Hashanah. It is considered to be the seed level of the entire year. No matter how much chaos humanity has created up until now, our collective soul never becomes impure.
Rosh Hashanah offers us the ability to reconnect to the part of us that is pure and new, that is completely of the Light and free from darkness.
This year we have the opportunity to reveal a critical mass of Light, to hit the tipping point, to shift the scales back to Light, causing pain, suffering and death to be removed from the human landscape.
The Rav has been saying this for forty years: consciousness is key. Never before have we so desperately needed to live it. Look around – floods, terrorism, rising gas prices, rising tides - we need to tip this scale.
Rosh Hashanah is the time. Let’s do it together." Read More

No Seaguls - Just Eagles
It really does not matter what you have, what you had, want, or what you own. You are whoever you want to be. How you perceive yourself has the biggest impact on how others perceive you, this is my belief and something I live. It was my dear mum that ingrained in me, "just because you don't have money, doesn't mean you can't compete, you just have to be more creative". Luckily for myself, I've always been rich in that department. The book in this post is one that I really, truly love and admire. It is written by Paul Arden one of the world's top advertising guys who comes from a great career with Saatchi & Saatchi. This is not merely a 'book', this is a bible for the creative, those driven to succeed who couldn't even ever imagine what it's like to 'think inside the box'. It has taught me tools to succeed in the world, to dream the unimaginable, to break the rules, and make my own path, leaving trails for others to follow. This book is about stretching the mind and thinking about where you want to be in the world. Do you want to be well known? The best in your field? Your country? Best in the world? Or best in the universe?
You decide. I know where I want to be.

It was my beauty...
As you may be aware, I have a bike. I love this bike and I love riding it. A while ago I was riding my bike in a beautiful long summer dress which was flowing & big glasses gleaming. As I approached a traffic light ,I was paired beside a truck of men who were clearly involved in some type of labour work. They were obviously enjoying my bike ride just about as much as I was. At that point, the light changed, I proceeded to pedal forward. They drove forward. I continued, and they, totally fucking rear ended the car in front of them. I tried my best not to laugh, when an elderly man turned to me and said, "You better get out of here little lady, those boys are going to be mighty embarrassed if they see you around". The End.New Jazz - Burt's Bees: SURVIVAL KIT
Today I received something TOTALLY RAD....
A Burt's Bees Survival Kit!
I love Burt's Bees, however, am yet to try anything but the lip balm (which I love). My care package includes Burt’s Almond Milk Hand Cream, Citrus Facial Scrub, Peppermint Shower Soap, Citrus Spice Exfoliating Soap & Milk & Honey Body Lotion and the Honey . It also includes a herbal blemish stick which, yes, I will surely be using! All this stuff is guaranteed to get me beautiful, soft and blemish free, plus it is all natural. I tested out the Milk & Honey Body Lotion on a few girls in my office, there were positive comments all around:
- Very Soft
- Absorbs fast
- Not greasy
- Not too strong or overpowering scent
- Fresh and pleasant smell
I look forward to testing out the rest of my awesome package and letting you know what i think of it. So far, I think it's awesome. Stay tuned. xoxo
Got an eye for Google, a good idea?
(CNN) -- Got an idea that could change the world, or at least help a lot of people? Google wants to hear from you -- and they'll pay as much as $10 million to make your idea a reality. Google Inc. will award $10 million to solicit ideas it believes could benefit the world.
Called Project 10^100 (pronounced "10 to the 100th"), Google's initiative will seek input from the public and a panel of judges in choosing up to five winning ideas, to be announced in February.Google announced the project live on CNN on Wednesday morning.
"These ideas can be big or small, technology-driven or brilliantly simple -- but they need to have impact," said Google in a press release. "We know there are countless brilliant ideas that need funding and support to come to fruition." Rest of article.............
Gimme hotness ♥
Speaking of hotness.....
I've received a bottle and gift bag from Givenchy not too long ago containing Hot Couture EDT. At first smell, I loved it. Well... I have had the beautiful bottle in my room for the past month. When the ladies come over for drinks, or before going out, it is common to hear "i'm just gonna steal a little spray of this". Voila! I have shared the greatness of Givenchy and now, the girls all seem to love it. I highly recommend buying it yourself. As for my dear best friends, you can buy me a new one whenit runs out!!! (I joke , I joke!!) Love you ♥

Technology Can Be 'Berry, 'Berry AddictiveStudy Finds That 35 Percent Of BlackBerry And PDA Users Would Choose Their Device Over Their Spouse
NEW YORK (CBS) ― Of all the possible things that can come between spouses, you can now add BlackBerrys -- or more precisely -- BlackBerry addiction to the list. A new study reveals BlackBerry's are becoming -- among other things -- the 800-pound gorilla in the bedroom. 'Berry, 'Berry, addictive? "I live with it. I can't live without it," one New York City resident told CBS 2 HD. Yeah ... there's a reason some call 'em ... CrackBerrys. But are you having a love affair with yours? "I am on my BlackBerry more than I see my boyfriend," one woman said. The study of 6,500 traveling executives says 35 percent of them would choose their PDA over their spouse."That's a tough call," one said."Oh you don't want to go there," another added. And apparently that attitude is being seen in the sack. Of those polled, 87 percent said they bring their devices into the bedroom(Always!). Another 84 percent check their e-mails just before they go to sleep (And while you sleep, lol!!!!) . Another 80 percent check them in the morning as soon as they get up (Always!) . "It can actually ruin relationships," said Dr. Susan Bartell, a psychologist and relationship expert. Bartell said couples should be interfacing more, but with each other. "People are so focused on their PDAs, they're not focusing on what might be going wrong in their relationships," Bartell said. Of those polled, 62 percent said they love their blackberry or PDA, and most of them said it makes their life more productive. However, experts suggest, for the sake of your relationship, you might occasionally … "Turn it off, spend some time with your partner. Have a real relationship with a living human being," Bartell said.
The study was done by Sheraton hotels. Among its other findings: More than three quarters of those polled say their gadgets give them more quality time with friends and family... and help them enjoy life more.
Go figure.
