If by "thumbs confused," you mean, "thumbs way down," then I'm with you on the Sylvester Stalone clothing line.
Good to see you are back! I have just a few random comments:
Comment 1:
Did you just really give Justin Bieber a Thumbs Up? Even when paired with someone else, this is a non-starter my friend.
Begin Rant:
Where are your thumbs on "Friday"?
The internet is a vicious place, and the treatment that people have given [whoever this girl is] is actively mean, but can't we all agree to discourage early-adolescent pop music. It's worse to hear sixth-graders sing about love and loss than it is to hear them sing about the days of the week and the seating arrangement in their carpool, but that song is ridiculous on almost every level: theme, actual content used to express that theme, melody, lyrics, and vocalization (you auto-tuned a kid, and you did it just enough that people could tell and maybe think it was covering a lack of talent). I feel like no one makes that you tube video is Justin Bieber didn't "succeed". Not that I wish him ill personally, or think he is a bad guy or has bad motives (I've heard just the opposite) I just think he represents the sort of mindless worship of youth our culture continues to be driving to younger and younger ages. I could go on and on for a while, but my old-guy-those-darn-kids-these-days-get-off-my-lawn warning light is now flickering at a frantic pace.
Rant Concludes.

If you have read Rob Bell's new book, I would be very interested to hear your take.

A Sly Stallone menswear line!!! For his stuff, I can be both Big AND Tall (not just Big, like for most celebrity lines).

Rofl about "thumbs confused". His clothing line could be good, but who knows. My thumbs feel the same way about that Justin Timberlake line in Target. -Lola http://www.happinessinspiration.blogspot.com
