Roseanne Goes Off!

roseanne_barr_national_anthemIt’s like she’s inside my head and wrote all my thoughts down, uncensored. LOL

Everyone’s favorite TV Mom rants on facebook about the Dem Party’s throwing of Hillary under a bus.

You go girl!

Nobody throws a right strop like Rosie.

History Making Politician Dies Alone and Forgotten

Juanita Goggins made history in 1974 when she became the State Legislature’s first black woman ever to be elected in South Carolina.

100310-Juanita Goggins-vmed-409p.widecJuanita Goggins once again made news when her body was found a week after death, alone and unattended.

The circumstances of her increasing reclusiveness, as well as her inexplicable death, remain a puzzle for the moment.

Perhaps some good will come of her passing, and increased awareness of the issues she was involved with both professionally and personally, will come to pass.

MoTown Goes Green, Literally

It’s like someone pushed the rewind button on urban sprawl!

800px-Markham-suburbsIn a bold move, Detroit city officials propose massive demolition of 20th century sprawl, and a return to the natural landscape it once was.

Please, please, please, please let it be true.

And I want the Burns brothers right on it, making one massive time-lapse film where Motor City goes from birds, trees and fields, to endless rows of soulless, identical “tiny boxes on a hilltop”, back to birds, trees and fields.

Next stop: Phoenix!

Fast Food Inc Devours Healthy Historic Mediterranean Diet

Regionalism is in a death battle royal against globalization.

In a bold move to save not only their culture, but their lives, four Southern European countries have asked UNESCO to designate their world famous diet as an endearing yet endangered part of their heritage, worthy of protection.

The medical world has long promoted the diet rich in fish, vegetables, legumes and elixer like olive oils as the most healthy of all.

Likewise, cultural protection advocates have long targeted the mediterranean areas as rich in a distinct heritage.

With development came the donut, and the two fights have merged in an epic battle against the bulge. Junk food has hit the costal towns like a heart attack, and the locals aren’t going to take it lying down.

But will the health angle pave the way for precedence? How long before Northern Europe approaches UNESCO with it’s own cultural defense of heavy cream sauces and deep fried starches? And what’s more central to American culture than the hamburger?

Hmm… food for thought.

Launching 1We The Chain New York: Call for Pledges

Do you also want to make a difference? Let’s join hands and start the mindblowing social network 1We The Chain New York!

In November last year I met Robbert Hagens, the founder of 1We – One World Experience. A crazy guy from Holland who has the guts to create a new style development organization which takes a distance to all forms of regular business. It’s all about positive TV programs and social media to create awareness, and surprising development projects to empower people all over the world.

What I like most is the fact that this organization is supported by a network of entrepreneurs who are involved from a personal angle. This 1We The Chain is a cool concept which has a lot of potential to make an impact in each corner of the world. By joining hands on a global level, a mindblowing strength source will arise with renewing initiatives towards a better world.

That’s why I am resolved to bring 1We The Chain to New York! Because I strongly believe that we from the Big Apple can make a huge contribution to make 1We – One World Experience a distinctive and groundbreaking organization.

Therefore I need you guys! Only together can we make a big difference happen.

To launch 1We The Chain New York in September this year an amount of $15,000 is required.

Funds raised through Kickstarter will go directly to starting this social network with Chain Drinks on a regular basis, and to supporting the 1We development projects.

Every pledge from $50 will be remunerated with an invitation for the official launch. An inspiring event in the presence of the guys from Holland with a lot of art, music, films, stories and -of course- a little bit of glitter and glamour!

In return you will be part of a unique social network in which you and your company can play a leading role. You can become actively involved in the 1We projects, you will be offered great marketing tools to integrate within your company and you will have the possibility to create new projects and products with 1We. All towards a better world!

Thank you for your support! Hope to see you at the launch!

Join the 1We The Chain Social Network today >
