Good morning Thursday readers. There are lots of weird and also relevant things going on so let’s get to it.
Joaquin Pheonix is causing controversy in his new rap career by jumping off of the stage and confronting a heckler. The questions arise because Casey Affleck filmed the entire event. Movie? Maybe Pheonix was lying about the whole ‘never acting again thing’. Or, maybe they’re doing a remake of 8 Mile.
In Ripley’s Believe it or not-ish news: A dude went over Niagara Falls and survived yesterday. No barrel, no safety gear, no will to live apparently. Witnesses say that the guy jumped in the water and swam away from shore. Then when he was at the bottom of the falls he resisted rescue and the helicopter pilot had to tilt the machine and use the wind from the propeller to push the guy towards shore. Another story found reports that the guy swam to shore and held onto the rocks and was calm but a little crazy. He is now in hospital with head injuries and pneumonia. I’m thinking suicide attempt.
MSN Lifestyles has a story titled, Midlife Crisis: My Husband Is Gay. I’m not sure what else I can tell you about it. It is what it is. It’s tragic for both partners, it’s hard on the kids, and the rest of the family as well. In today’s links for sure.
I’ve never linked to Funny or Die before but today I am. All things geeky and the current recession have teamed up to make a great Lex Luthor video. Lex Luthor Needs a Bailout, is pretty funny.
Bill Gates is once again the world’s richest man, passing Warren Buffet on this year’s list. Gates lost $18 billion dollars last year, while Buffet lost $25 billion. Poor guys.
Big ups to the guys of Leaving Beechwood. No reason really other than they are now our friend on myspace.
The sun is shining, the wind has calmed and the snow has stopped. Not a bad morning, I just hope that it warms up soon.
Thoughts with ev-e and her mom today. xoxo
Have a good day y’all.
