As I was watching t.v. the other day I was taken by a song in a commercial. So I typed a few simple words (miss dior cherie commercial) into google and the results changed my life. The song was written by the sexiest woman to ever roam our planet. Her name is Brigitte Bardot, a French goddess that reigned supreme hotness before your mom even had her first period. If you want to know more, wikipedia her. But to honour this mega babe, download her best-of album and give it a listen. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised, I was.

Canadian Indy Band Finally Gets Big Break
The much lauded critical darlings, Nickleback, finally catch a break from the mainstream media. A band that has slipped under the radar for years recently won Band of the Decade accolades from the Associated Press. Speaking about the award frontman Chad Krueger was unapologetic for his bands alternative style and artistic nature. "It has been a long road. I just don't think the general public every really understood what we were about and what our music represented. It is pretty subversive and introspective stuff. All I can say right now is look out for our next record. It will punch you in the face! We have tried to incorporate more experimental electronic sounds, Krautrock, post-punk and jazz influences this time around. So, all I can say is you have been warned."

CD Sales Breath New Life with the Sales of Amazing Hip Hop Album
Lite Up My Day
Dear Blog,
Yesterday while at work I made a cup of soup out of a can of V8 by simply warming it up in my plain white coffee mug. However, today I found my mug crustated with tomato juice, so I decided to get a new mug. I ditched the old one in the sink for someone else to clean and opened the cupboard to get a new mug. Wow! There it was. The Lite 96 CHFM collectors mug. That is right. I have in my possession one of the most sought after collectibles on the globe. Now I have to decide whether or not to auction it off on Ebay (probably starting at $9000) or proudly display it on my desk?
Signing out blog,
That Guy in Your Office

Are You Reasonable?
2. REASONABLENESS
(1) Reasonable Person
HNE-12 Intelligence.
HNE-12 Intelligence. Everyone is required by negligence law to possess a certain modicum of intelligence. Stupid individuals must answer for their foolish ways to their victims, even though they may be forgiven by their Maker.1 The awkward and the accident-prone must make good any losses they produce.2 The reasonable person is presumed to possess neither over-apprehension nor over-confidence.3
Need to expand knowledge. A reasonable person need not be aware of esoteric matters,13 but as human knowledge expands, the esoteric may become the commonplace. At least one should know when one is ignorant of something and that information or expert advice should be sought. To drive with one's vision obscured14 or to proceed in the face of an enigma such as a purple traffic light,15 may well be negligence. There is nothing wrong with doing one's own simple household repairs,16 but when the task is a complex one, it may be negligent to proceed without expert advice. Thus, those who build bridges without adequate professional counsel about drainage subject themselves to liability even though they may have escaped if they had consulted competent engineers.17 There are conflicting decisions on the need to consult experts over trees. For example, there is apparently no need for ordinary landowners to confer with specialists to determine if their trees need looping, because they may rely upon their own judgement.18 On the other hand, if the trees are near a busy highway, if a defect is visible, and if the defendant is a large landowner, there may be a "duty to provide himself with skilled advice about the safety of trees".19 Here again, it appears that more effort must be expended to avert greater risk. Normally, however, an actor will be relieved of responsibility if following professional advice or if hiring an expert to perform these tasks,20because it is eminently reasonable to rely upon others,21 especially when they are skilled persons.
