International Kissing Day and its HOT Today!!

Well I almost missed International Kissing Day yesterday, fortunately I found out in time to give my hunny some extra smooches :) World Kiss Day as its sometimes referred to was started in the UK. I don't know how far back it dates but the earliest article I could find on it was from the year 2000 International Kissing Day. I hope you "enjoyed" the holiday and hopefully we'll get a little more advance notice next year :)

In other news we finally updated the "Current Favorite Love Songs" chart on the site adding all new songs except for one hold out (can you find it?). Some of my favorites on this months list are Pay Phone by Maroon 5 and "Drive By" by Train. One of my favorite sngs this year is "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri. If for some reason you missed out on this amazingly beautiful song please check it out here "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri

We are heading for 100 degrees plus today in the Philadelphia area which is just crazzzzy (hot Hot HOT). I mean I like it hot but there has to be a limit. Please keep cool in whatever part of the US and World you area, and look for another update next week. Big announcement coming about a complete website redesign (Finally we all say :)). It's gonna be a fun summerrrrrr enjoyyy!

Peace, Love & Laughter!

Happy Valentines Day!

Just a short note today to wish everyone a very Happy Valentines Day! First established as St. Valentines Day back in the year 496 AD (WOW!) by Pope Gelasius I, this day is celebrated in hundreds of countries where lovers can re-express their feelings for each other (although shouldn't we be doing that every day :))

I hope you and your love have a wonderful Valentines Day today - I'm off to work for a while but will be spending a nice relaxing Valentines lunch with my love and I cannnn't wait!

Happy New Year 2012 to All!

Hard to believe that the year of the Mayan curse is finally upon us. You know, the year where the Mayan Calendar runs out on 12/21/2012 so we all assume its the end of the world. First thing I want to know is how did we actually arrive at that date considering the "calendar" has changed many times over the last 5000-6000 years. Is 12/21/2012 really the right date? And maybe the Mayans were simply predicting (optimistically) the end of their own civilization, which unfortunately ended way before the year 2012. I don't know what the real story is but we'll get to watch what happens up close this year and we'll all (hopefully) breath a collective sigh of relief when yet another doomsday story fizzles out. Stay tuned!!

Musical Soundtrack App for your Phone

Okay on to music news. I came upon this cell phone app that is a "soundtracking" app, which means it identifies and captures (or retrieves) song samples from your environment and allows you to pass them among your family/friends. Kind of like posting Facebook status (happy, sad, whatever) but with a musical note added to it. Sounds pretty neat to me (being musical and all :)). For more info check it out the full article here Soundtracking App for Cellphones .

That's all for today folks....in 2012 I'm going to try and post 3-4 times/week and spotlight some of my favorite new (and old) songs. You know the kind of songs that are so good they give you the chills when you hear them :) Have a great day and we'll talk soon!
