I'm rich!
My attention to charity seems to have been finally rewarded! Oh wait, it might be spam.
Anyway, here is the funniest spam email I have received in a long time. I have left it uncorrected.
*************
Mr Paul Glover.
Hemel Hempstead Hospital
Hillfield Road
Hemel Hempstead
HP2 4AD
England.
Here writes Mr Paul Glover, suffering from cancerous ailment. I am into private practice all my life and do not have time for myself or any other things,except making money via my numerous business.I was oncemarried but after three decades without child i have to continue my life.
Iam writing this email to you because i want entrust the sum of 5 Million (Five Million Great Britain Pounds Sterling which were derived from my vast estates and investment in capital market with A Bank here in UK for the good work of charity in your country. Presently, this money is still with the Bank.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I have limited days to live due to the cancerous problems I am suffering from. Though what bothers me most is the stroke that I have in addition to the cancer. With this hard reality that has befallen my family, and me I have decided to donate this fund to you and want you to use this gift which comes from my effort to fund the upkeep of widows, widowers, orphans, destitute, the down-trodden, physically challenged children, barren-women and persons who prove to be genuinely handicapped financially,for doing this you will be entitle to 20%.
I made a vow to uplift the down-trodden and the less-privileged individuals as i had passion for persons who can not help themselves due to physical disability or financial predicament. I can adduce this to the fact that i do not have a Child from my late wife, which never came.
It is often said that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and my relatives are bourgeois and very wealthy persons and I do not want my hard earned money to be misused or invested into ill perceived ventures. I do not want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner, hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be with the Almighty when I eventually pass on. The Almighty will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I do not need any telephone communication in this regard due to my deteriorating health and my doctors advise. With God all things are possible.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Bank. I will also issue you a Letter of Authority that will empower you as the original beneficiary of this fund. My happiness is that I lived life worthy of emulation. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Please assure me that you will act just as I have stated herein.
Hope to hear from you soon and God bless you and members of your family.Reply to my mail through my email address: xxxx@xxxx.com

New blog
I've set up a new blog, with the hopes of just using the RSS feed of it on here... but bloggers feed widget seems to be broken.
Anyway, it's called Dog Walking Music

Too bizarre
This is too bizarre NOT to post. Normally I wouldn't, and it is definitely adult content, but, my god this is strange! This is NOT a comedy piece, incredibly. It is from local TV.
Don't watch if you are under 18 or easily offended. Or don't have a sense of humour.
The power
"shrimp at long john silver, whats that plate, 2.99 ??"

Web Urbanist
While spending a lazy Monday on holiday here in Newfoundland I discovered this website and a fascinating article:
7 Deserted Wonders of the World. Sometimes you get the feeling that places here in Newfoundland are deserted, but wow, the places on this website are freaky!
If you check out the main page you'll see lots of cool articles. What a great website. I wish I was clever enough to come up with something like that!

From one Rock to Another
We're over here in Newfoundland. Our friends Joan (that's Dr. Joan to you and me) and Susan visited us in Spain last Christmas. So we thought, in punishment, we'd impose ourselves on them.
I've never been to the East Coast of Canada before. It is, well, pretty awesome! St John's, at least the downtown, is very beautiful and full of great restaurants. What more could you ask for?! (Outside of downtown of course it just turns into another Canadian city with shopping malls and WalMarts).
And the music! If you like traditional music, surely St John's is one of the best places to see it. We stopped in for lunch to a place called Auntie Crae's and saw a 'Kitchen Party' (newfie-speak for a jam session). A bunch of local players, cranking out the tunes.
Ok, I am a tourist, and maybe some of these things are touristy, but, I am enjoying myself immensely.
As I write this I am sitting out in a cottage on Conception Bay, perilously close to the edge of the cliff. Waves are crashing into the rocks and it is awe-inspiring.
Write more soon!

Model Search 2007
Earlier this week I had the honour of being a judge at Model Search 2007, a modeling contest put on by Mark Montovio and Mount Productions.
Thankfully it wasn't as hot and humid as last year! It was actually a pleasant night, both weather-wise and the show.
Unfortunately, my choice didn't show on the night - I'll do a post on her later - but there were some good contestants.
The male winner, of course, could be none other than Adnan Laoudy. I've known Adnan for a while and he was in a short film I directed last year.

Female winner was Sascha McPhillips. Her photo didn't impress me, but in person she had great presence. Maybe she needs more photo time or something to bring that out on camera. She's not tall enough to be a pro model, but, I can definitely see her having some success in the local market (or perhaps acting) if she wanted it.

The runner up for females was Krisanne Alvez. This girl has a killer body, it has to be said. She didn't have the presence on stage that I would have liked, but she moved well. I think some training would bring her up to an amazing standard.

There were tears from the winners... not these winners (well, ok, Sascha had some!), but from some of the male winners. There was one guy, Nigel Usquieri, who I just couldn't make my mind up on. He was...odd! Odd is good, as you remember it (and hence I am talking about him and not others). But I just don't know if he is modelling material. But he did have something.
The show also included a couple of dance routines. One from Genyka Celecia - her first performance after a long injury. The other from a girl who's name I didn't catch (other than it was Tamara something) that was really amazing. Great choreography.
Anyway, thanks to Mark for the night.
