Monday Motivation

Got Body?
Colin Farrell 
Look it's Colin Farrell leaving a yoga class in Los Angeles. Which is exactly what I need to be doing today, but alas I can not. Grrrrrrrrrr....

"Yep" I have no time to hit the mat this Monday for the zen Motivation I need. That being stated I will try to go to that place that yoga takes me a place that everybody should dare to go. Let's let Colin tell us in his spot on quote regarding the practice of yoga -

“I love being in a class with students – 30 or 40 people all moving in unison. It’s very easy to live where you remain in your head… and you’re concerned about various things and constantly contemplating and so on and so forth, so it takes you out of your head for a while and just puts you back into your body." 

It does indeed take one out of one's head. Which is a place I frankly spend way too much time

So here's to going as headless as possible today. I want to be present in my body as much as I can. C'mon people let's motivate each other and just do it!

Charity Begins At Dolly

She's A Giver
Dolly Parton
When in doubt, bend it like Dolly! 

The Dollywood Foundation administered the final distribution from the My People Fund on Thursday with recipients noticing an extra surprise when they received the check.

Thanks to fundraising efforts, Dollywood Foundation officials were able to provide a $5,000 check to each family as they work to recover from the Smoky Mountain wildfires which occurred last November. Beginning last December, the My People Fund provided $1,000 each month to Sevier County families whose primary residences were completely destroyed due to the fires.

In total, recipients received $10,000 as a hand-up to help start their rebuilding efforts following the fire. The fund, which was established by Dolly Parton, The Dollywood Company, Parton’s dinner theaters and The Dollywood Foundation, was supported by contributions from across the country, as well as donations made through the Smoky Mountains Rise telethon which took place in early December.

“The My People Fund has been a great success,” said Parton. “I want to thank my team, the Dollywood Foundation, my friends in the music business and the thousands of people from all over the country who opened both their pocketbooks and their hearts to help us.

“Over the last five months, we’ve given nearly 900 families $5,000 to help them recover. Yesterday, we had our last distribution and I went over to The LeConte Center to say thanks to all the volunteers and to help give out a few checks myself. We matched what they’ve received already with another $5,000 check. I know $10,000 can’t solve everything, but I do hope the money will help them to dream again.”

In addition to providing initial monetary support to displaced families through the monthly check distribution, the remaining funds from theMy People Fund will continue to help the people of Sevier County. At least $3 million will be contributed to the Mountain Tough Recovery Team which will serve the continuing needs of residents during the critical rebuilding period ahead. This program will begin helping families on June 1.

“We’re still receiving money, so we aren’t finished yet,” Parton added. “Recovery will take some time, so a new organization—called Mountain Tough—has been created to help our people get back on their feet for the next three years. We’re giving at least $3 million to help this new organization begin the next chapter of our journey.”

Mountain Tough assists individuals and families recovering from the wildfires by providing resources for the unmet needs of low-income families and individuals in Gatlinburg and the surrounding Sevier County area. The team seeks to restore the quality of life and provide for the long-term needs of those affected.

“Mountain Tough will help pick up where the My People Fund left off,” Dollywood Foundation President David Dotson said. “They will be staffed with case managers who will work to identify the immediate needs of residents and our funds will be used to address those needs. For example, it may help with transportation so someone can continue to be employed, or it may help with medicine for conditions caused by the fire. The case managers will coordinate with county agencies to ensure needed assistance is not duplicated and achieves its maximum impact.”

Anyone who wants to help the Mountain Tough Recovery Team with their efforts should visit www.mountaintough.org for information on how to donate, how to volunteer and much more. The website is the official source for all information regarding the recovery effort.

"I Am Cornholio" Michael Buble'

Michael Buble
Auditions For Gay Porn
"I am the great Cornholio! I need T.P. for my bunghole!" -  Beavis "Beavis and Butthead" 

Yes, Corn Hole is the first thing I thought when I saw this image of singer Michael Buble' at Disneyland.

The second thing I though is: "He must not have tonsils anymore" or "Perhaps he is auditioning for gay porn" see how you can add any take you want onto this shot???

Apparently this has got certain segments of the web upset and freaked out. Because they obviously have nothing better to do. Me? I am posting it because I think it is hilarious and who does not love a man with a great sense of humor? I know I do. 

Obviously Buble' saw the paparazzi and wanted to have some fun with them. He also most likely figured the image would go viral and that there were enough gullible people in the world to actually not be in on the joke.

Smart & funny, that's a pretty amazing combination! Trust me...

F#ck Off! Dolce & Gabbana.

Sharon Stone Rulz!
If you own any Dolce & Gabbana, you are forgiven until now. These two tools have bit the hand that feeds them. The founders have made terrible comments about the following: same-sex parenting and what one of them dubbed "synthetic" children conceived via artificial insemination.
Well one of my favorite actresses and people I have met Sharon Stone was among those to defend what's right. Here is her awesome statement below.
"We must meet this type of cruelty towards children who are in need and want homes and families with love and open homes," she said in a statement to E! News. "We must meet these type of behaviors with thoughts turned inward towards ourselves. ‘How can I give more to a child in need, how can I do more for the children of this world who need more and deserve more?'"
"To spend time raging against a closed mind is to waste oneself, a self that can be better spent loving where that love is has been removed from," she added. "To dismiss modern medicine as it helps loving people become loving parents is to dismiss all of the miracles of modern medicine."
Ms. Stone has three adopted sons.
Thus if you buy or still support Dolce & Gabbana, you are a jerk.
