Happy Birthday Jack Nicholson

It's Jack Nicholson's birthday today so I'd say it's going to be a very good Friday for him. Here is a little taste of what makes Jack great and enjoy a little bit of hedonism on him today.

Should Muslims Get Naked? The Female Che Guevara Reveals All

There is outrage among the hardcore elements of the Muslim community. Sila Sahin, a 25 year old living in cosmopolitan world of Berlin has shown it all for Playboy magazine.  She is the first Turkish woman model to strip. She hoped to show other Turkish women to be free and choice their own lifestyles without pressure from a misogynistic male cultural hegemony.

She told Playboy:

I have always abided by what men say. As a result I developed an extreme desire for freedom. I feel like Che Guevara. I have to do everything I want, otherwise I feel like I may as well be dead

She responded emotionally to the backlash back home in Turkey saying in tears"I hope you can forgive me. Please let me come home," Or is that the male dominated media twisting her words?

What's So 'Good' about Good Friday

Good Friday is so called because on that day Jesus was crucified at Calvary, sounding 'Good'? Really if there was a man called Jesus and the tales are historically accurate then a poor individual was brutally murdered in an excruciating way. Still sounding 'Good'? Traditionally, you are also supposed to do a deal of fasting on Good Friday, or as they do in the cult, one small meal and two even smaller meals that when totaled fail to comprise a full meal. With all the chocolate floating around at this time of year fasting is not something I would consider 'Good'. And what's all this about giving up meat for the day, it's 8AM and I have already had three different types of meat, not on my watch Jesus, nothing 'Good' about a meat free zone. There is more. Supposedly when Jesus died the Moon bled, no I don't know about you that doesn't sound to good, they should have got some one to check that out it doesn't sound to healthy. In Ireland the sale of Alcohol is banned on this so called 'Good' day, can't even go to a restaurant, have a rose and some smoked meat. In some countries people even take part in self-flagellation and inflict all sorts of bodily harm upon themselves. In hindsight this day really isn't that 'Good' in fact it's a pretty bad day in my opinion. Just hurry up and end Good Friday, the Easter Bunny and I are waiting. Actually on second thought I will be celebrating Earth Day today, served with a few course of meat. 

5 Reasons Barcelona Failed To Win The Copa Del Rey Final

1] One suspects they are saving themselves for the Champion's League, The Copa Del Rey is a Mickey Mouse Cup in Spain, although the disappointment of been denied the possibility for winning the treble will irritate them, overall winning the La Liga and the Champion's League is the benchmark for their season. When Real Madrid were celebrating they even dropped the cup under the bus. That's how important the cup is. 

2] At 29 years of age David Villa is already Spain's all-time top scorer, he was a predator for Valencia scoring 108 goals in 166 appearers and stylish goals at that. David Villa has become a ghost in the second half of the season, his confidence is botched, he missed a volley making a bad connection with the ball, usually he would score that kind of volley wearing a blindfold, but in his current form including him in their starting 11 is like playing with 10. Their only other striker Bojan is out imjured until the end of the season.

3] Lionel Messi only showed glimmers of why he is the best player in the world. His scintillating pass split the Madrid defense open allowing Pedro to score a goal which was then disallowed for been offside. He too often took his frustration out on Madrid players rather than on the ball, he even got a yellow card which is uncharacteristic of him. I doubt he would have lost his composure against any other team, but the immense tensions and rivalry with Ream Madrid was too much to surmount.

4] Pep Guardiola maybe be a stubborn coach but he showed that he is not ruthless enough to win by all means. If Barcelona's first choice goalkeeper Víctor Valdés was selected he would have saved Ronaldo's header in extra time. Instead Guardiola remained loyal to the 35 year old Pinto as he is the cup goalkeeper for Barcelona, which also further underlines the unimportance of such a cup, where he allows the reserve goal keeper a sustained run in the team.

5] The referee decided not to send off any Real Madrid players, which was a highly dubious decision. Mourinho is cynical and even went as far as to admit that he trained with 10 players beforehand in preparation for a player been send off. Pepe nearly broke Messi's leg and got away with it, Moutinho expects a player to get send off, he tells his players to psychically violate the Barcelona players,the referee gave him license to carry out this cynical campaign of pain without any consequences.

Sharks Off The Coast Of Ireland

THE 12: AKA THE GREATEST BUS IN THE WORLD

There’s nothing quite like London transport to rectify whatever qualms one may have toward personal space or hygiene. One such significant mode of travel, which has carried me loyally throughout the scum riddled squalor of London, has also brought me some bizarre and wonderful experiences. These experiences are what I like to call the “misadventures of the 12”.

The 12 has featured in many lives and impacted so much so on one London visitor’s life, that they rated it no. 8 in their personal list of 16 Awesome Hidden Gems of London. Indeed the 12 is a diamond in the rough (I mean that quite literally, it frequently likes to deposit its passengers, terminating on High Street Peckham, abandoning them without a leg to stand on because the drunken pervert next them licked his lips and touched their knee, thus revolting them to the extent of the amputation of said knee in favour of remaining STI free).

Upon the 12 I have also enjoyed the epic monologues of the fanatically religious. Some of them murmur with an eerie persistence, other wail and shout because they can see that you are peacefully enjoying your quiet trip home. This peacefulness is often misconstrued as bordem and GOD FORBID should one be board on the 12. It’s not like you are entitled to any privacy or any rights at all for that matter when you’re on the 12 bus. The only right that you can justly exercise is the right to the freedom of speech, at whatever volume you deem it necessary.  You also have the right to stare at someone long enough to make them feel severely uncomfortable, you also have the right to exercise your freedom of speech not only when you are densely inebriated but also when you are clinically insane. (Many of London’s mentally ill enjoy a good old chatter with themselves on our beloved no. 12).

Once I made a friend on the 12. He hopped on shortly after me on Regents Street and declared to the bus’s population that he didn’t give a shit whether we believed in God because it meant that there was more room in Heaven for him (religious nutjob). Although I thoroughly appreciated his commentary seeping through my headphones which were at full volume, I decided to gracefully decline his rantings and hop off at the next stop to catch the following bus (The no.12 is superbly efficient.)  I’m on the next bus and a few stops later who pops on but my old friend from the previous 12! LUCKY ME! So up I leap to get off and he quite generously threatened the bus driver with his own life to allow me off (severe case of lunacy). I thought that was very kind.

The 12 also has the most unique blend of fragrances with a mix of warm body odour, strange unidentifiable ethnic cuisine, alcohol stench, weed stench and interestingly toxic hair/ weave treatment. It’s really very special. Also, if you like to get all up and personal, why not take a trip on the 12, especially when it’s really hot and at peak traffic time. I mean, I managed to have a teenage girl’s vagina rest on my shoulder and a well hung rack of tits graze my cheek several times this evening! A woman bent down to pick up her shopping bags and gave a gentleman a blowjob without either of them noticing. I think it’s fair to say that we all had a spiffing good time on this truly English adventure.

The Most Googled Word In The World Is....?

How the hell should I know but the most googled word for today was 'Tivo', yesterday was 'Oklahoma City Bombing', and the day before that was 'boston marathon' and the day before that was 'bright star' and the day before that was 'raleigh nc' and after that I give up.
