Monday Motivation

If You're Happy & You Know It...
Matt Bomer
Wow! Just Wow! There is so much turmoil going on in the world I am, well, needing an oasis to escape to. Is there actually one available where my positive energy won't take a licking? Most likely not.

Thus my Monday  Motivation is finding things that make me happy today. Like this photo of Matt Bomer wearing next to nothing on the beach meditating. This is how I am starting off my Monday and now because of me, so are you.

As I navigate the journey that is today I am going to focus on everything that there is to be happy about, and pay it forward with good vibes only.

Seeing this image of delicious Matt looking oh so tranquil on a peaceful stretch of sand is a great kick off point.

It's giving me what I need right here, right now. Then when I move on with my day it will be time to find some other Monday Motivation to bring back the happy. I am up for the challenge, you???

Who's the Happy Monkey? Why you are, duh!

Cinco de Mayo

Wasted Away Again in Margaritaville...
Neil Patrick Harris
"Cinco de Mayo (pronounced [ˈsiŋko ðe ˈmaʝo] in Latin America, Spanish for "Fifth of May") is an annual celebration held on May 5. The date is observed to commemorate the Mexican Army's victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla, on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza.[1][2] The victory of the smaller Mexican force against a larger French force was a boost to morale for the Mexicans. A year after the battle, a larger French force defeated Zaragoza at the Second Battle of Puebla, and Mexico City soon fell to the invaders" - Wikipedia 

OK, there you have it the reason Cinco de Mayo aka The 5th of May is celebrated. This being stated it is mainly an excuse for most to go out and get wasted away in Margaritaville

Case in point, the celebratory image that is giving me Cinco life today is one Neil Patrick Harris on the beach passed out among many Margarita glasses. While it is obviously staged NPH is known for his fondness of the tequila based concoction.

Honestly I would like to join Neil in reaching the beach today, but alas can not. Yeah, not everyone has the free time to go out and get elegantly wasted.

Margarita Glass Drop!

Monday Motivation

Surfs Up & So Am...
Chris Hemsworth

Today to get a little jump start I have enlisted none other than Thor God Of Thunder himself Chris Hemsworth

While I have never surfed in my entire life seeing Chris take to the beach makes me contemplate doing so. That is as long as he is my instructor.

All getting hot and bothered aside, while Mr. Hemsworth is a thing of beauty, he is also quite motivational. Having dropped 46 lbs. and gotten into some of the best shape of my life he inspires me to continue to be my personal best

We should all strive to be the best version of ourselves that we can. That just happens to include taking care of ones self physically as well as mentally. You know, self love, I mean care. Whatever you all know what I'm saying, and it doesn't have to be horizontally either.

On that note now it's time to say goodbye to you all and say "Hello Monday" get motivated and rock it minions!

So Long Summer?

Coming In For A Landing
Derek Hough

Even though fall doesn't officially begin until September 22, Labor Day marks the end of summer symbolically because it is the last holiday weekend of the season.

That being said while summer is headed into the twilight stage, the summer weather will go on with all of 2017'a crazy heat waves.

So let's bid adieu to the season with this shot of Dancing With The Stars Derek Hough playing Frisbee at the beach.

While Derek doesn't do much for me on the Schwing meter I will state I would like to have a body like his. Evenly proportioned with just the right amount of ripple.

BTW word is Mr. Hough got sand in his mug on the way down.

Ciao Summer!

Hit The Beach!

Beach Boy Pin-Up
Zac Efron
I recently saw the Baywatch movie. Now before you judge let me make clear it was at a screening on the Sony Pictures lot, thus it was free, no charge, zero dinero. 

Also it starred my Boy Zac Efron, as if I would turn down spending 90 minutes looking at him in a bathing suit, not!

What was that? Did I like it? Surprisingly enough the answer is "yes," it wasn't great or anything but it was stupidly entertaining.

Let me give you an example by telling you my favorite line in it. Zac keeps inverting two letters while spelling a word (that I can not remember) and is asked if he is dyslexic, he replies: "No I'm Caucasian" Now you are getting the idea of what kind of movie it is.

So naturally Zac is my official beach boy pin-up for the summer, behold Zac in all his glory and worship him accordingly. 

Ciao!

It's Hammock Time!

Put The Lime In The Coconut...
Brie Larson
Another week another shit show in the US of A. With all of the turmoil surrounding our daily lives wouldn't it be nice to get away? You don't have to go far, to tune out. Find a hammock, a coconut and a good book and bingo! Staycation! 

Put this image of Oscar Winner Brie Larson doing just that on your visualization board as something to aspire to this weekend.

See how content she looks? She may be at the beach, which is something you can add as well to the mix. However if you are unable to reach the beach, try another tranquil location, heck even being in your bedroom shutting out the world is a very peaceful substitute.

I know I personally find my refuge taking a spin class. However this weekend I'm going to try a book on the couch in addition to it. You know, up the ante a little. 

T.G.I.F! The word of the day is: rejuvenate!

Mannequin Madness!

Taylor Swift, Todrick Hall & Friends
How was everyone's Black Friday? If you descended into madness and went shopping I hope you got what you wanted and your body parts are still intact. If you are not insane, like me, you stayed home and ate some more, woot!

Something that has been a thing of late is the Mannequin Challenge. I have seen so many videos posted on Facebook & Instagram of friends & family taking it over the Thanksgiving Holiday, good times!

Well you just know Taylor Swift along with her friends and family would not be left out, and of course try to one up everyone else by striking a pose on the beach in the chill of fall. It was all captured for her Instagram page, naturally.

She along with Todrick Hall who is starring in Kinky Boots on Broadway took on Turkey Day and the cold to pose like a mannequin below. Hey standing still on a cold deserted beach sounds like a saner idea than going to an overcrowded mall with shoppers clawing for bargains...

Check it out after the jump!

Who's That Guy?
Justin Trudeau!
Photo: Marnie Recker
For those of you who may not know, Justin Trudeau is the strapping Prime Minister of Canada. Really that's all you need to know about him because that's what this post is all about...yep it's time to objectify him!

The above image is you see is him shirtless on the beach graciously deferring to a bride to be and her family, yum!

Photographer Marnie Recker caught the candid wedding crasher and tweeted it with these hashstags and such..

moves out of the way for a bride coming onto the beach to be married.

Very nice Marnie, what a good eye you have, a very good one. 

Here is a close-up of Trudeau's mug so you can better see what he looks like, handsome guy he is.

Jennie Garth is a Hipster

Jennie Garth: If You've Got Em' Flaunt Em'
Best know for playing good two shoes Kelly Taylor on Beverly Hills 90210, Jennie Garth recently took the beach in Honolulu, Hawaii in an itsy bitsy teenie weenie black string bikini.

Oh, and two never seen before tattoos one on her right hip, the other on her left hip. Thus making Jennie July 2015's hipster, literally. 

Rather than bore you with a description of the tattoos, since you can see them in the image above, I must say they are quite impressive and have given me inspiration to get a fourth one.

Jennie, you rule!

Happy fist day of July!

Pato Margetic & Yvette Lopez "Broken Dreams"


Pato Margetic




































The other day I received an excited text from my friend Model/Singer/Entertainer Yvette Lopez about a music video she was in with an exciting new artist Pato Margetic called: "Broken Dreams" asking me if I would write it up and help get the word out on "Entertain Me".

Well I of course said "Yes" as Yvette has been featured on here before and I have interviewed her about her own music on the site "Chorus and Verse" you can cut to our chat for C&V here:

http://www.chorusandverse.com/content.php?id=20120418A

Here is a snippet on the making of "Broken Dreams" from Pato himself....

"The story of the video starts off with a flight to Los Angeles, CA. Cosmopolitan Magazine had actually chosen me as Michigan's Bachelor of the year and flew me out to California for a photo shoot in Malibu. (Talk about feeling amazing!) Being a recording artist and musician from Detroit, I wanted to take this opportunity to expose my music. My manager Louis, who hooked up the whole Cosmo situation, got even more creative and productive with the idea to shoot a music video in Malibu scenery as well

I love the idea of course, and the song selection began...I looked through my catalog of finished songs and chose "Broken Dreams" right away for the steamy Malibu beach. The song's simple lyrics and melody speak about dancing, and letting go of all fears and doubts, yet with a hopeful message to continue to pursuing dreams. I immediately contacted my good friend, director Alex Grossfeld who recently moved to LA to see if he would be interested in shooting. Not only was he interested, but he came up with the brilliant idea to film on an 8mm camera!

Yvette Lopez
 Now that a team of professionals had agreed on a music video, the only thing missing was a leading lady. Of course we needed someone gorgeous and exotic, yet professional and ready to work. Yvette Lopez, came to my manager Louie's mind, and the team loved the idea. We could only hope that Yvette would agree...She is a well known singer, entertainer, model, and even holds the title of Miss Playboy Latina! She is also an author of a new kid's book series coming soon worldwide!" 

Pato & Yvette steam it up quite nicely on the shores of Malibu in the video and "Broken Dreams" announces the arrival of a gifted singer/songwriter/musician Pato Margetic in a big way...!

Watch the video for "Broken Dreams" here...
