Redondo's Kite Festival

Worst President Ever

Chris Daughtry Rocks!!

Hello Jim & Kim fanatics...and welcome to JimmyPowell.com!
A fun & entertaining site where you can get a glimpse into our little world!

I'm not the only person who thinks George Bush sucks. Jessica Simpson declined an offer to meet with the President during her upcoming trip to Washington to promote her charity Operation Smile. She was given the chance to attend a Republican fundraiser and get some face time with the President afterwards but declined the offer. Go Jessica!

Of course, I wouldn't turn down a chance to meet the President cause I would relish the opportunity to tell him how much of a loser he is!

We are in full American Idol mode now that's it's down to the final 12 and we've already picked our top 2 contestants! We're totally pulling for the rocker dude Chris Daughtry who has rocked the show virtually every week so far and last night's show was no exception. We were a little worried cause all the contestants had to sing a Stevie Wonder song but we forgot that the Red Hot Chili Peppers did a rock cover of Higher Ground back in the 90's and of course that's exactly what Chris did. He blew everyone else away.

Another interesting fact about Chris...after doing a Fuel song a few weeks ago the band offered him the job of being their new lead singer. He had no choice but to turn it down because he's under contract with American Idol. This dude is on his way and we couldn't be more excited.

Having lavished enough praise on this guy, our pic for runner up is Katherine McPhee who's right here from LA. She can definitely sing and she's also got the looks. So even though we just got into the top 12, we've already picked our top 2 finalists.

I bet you didn't know this but the U.S. used to make $10,000 bills. There are only a few in existence and there's a story about one of them on the link below.

This is what a $10,000 bill looks like!

I know I've posted this on my website before before but in light of my previous post I think it bears repeating. If you do a search on the word "failure" in Google, the number one result is the homepage of George W. Bush.

It's also interesting to note that Jimmy Carter is # 2 and Michael Moore is # 3.

Just thought I'd take a few minutes to share my thoughts on what's going on in the world for those who care to know.

• All Time Low - President Bush's approval ratings hit an all time low this week hovering around 34-36 percent. I voted for this moron twice (not because I liked him but because the other alternatives sucked) and even I can't stand him and am more than ready for him to be gone. At least 70% of the country believes it's time to get out of Iraq and let them have their own civil war but this idiot just keeps sticking to his same ol' song and dance about establishing freedom. I never thought anyone could suck more than Clinton but I think it's safe to say that George W. Bush is the WORST PRESIDENT EVER!!!!! (And you know it's bad when Republicans start saying that)

• U.S. Blunder Is Lucky Break For Moussaoui - Zacarias Moussaoui, the 20th hijacker who's currently on trial may not get the death penalty because federal prosecutors coached some of their witnesses which is against federal law. What I don't understand is why it has taken almost 5 years to get this terrorist in a court room and why the trial lasted more than a day. I personally think once you had enough evidence in hand to show that this guy would have been the 20th hijacker had he made it into the U.S., he should have been drug out back and executed...4 years ago! Now he'll probably wind up with life in prison on our taxpayer dime.

• Chef Quits South Park - Isaac Hayes quit his voice-over role as Chef on South Park this week citing objections to the show's satire on religion. The shows creators said never had any problems when the show was bashing Christians, Muslims, Jews, etc. but as soon as they did an episode about Scientology, that's when he had a problem.

As I'm sure most of you can see, I've been way too busy to update my website on a regular basis lately. My business is exploding but I'm hoping to get caught up this week and get back on a regular update routine. Plus there hasn't been a whole lot going on in the world lately.

I saw (or more importantly heard) the new commercial for Burger King's Chicken Tendercrisp this weekend and it certainly made me do a double take. It shows a bunch of cowboys riding a giant chicken while the announce talks about a "big buuuucking chicken!" The word play is so brazen that I doubt it will on the air long but it's definitely funny.

The Redondo Beach Pier held it's annual Kite Festival yesterday and it was certainly a good day for it with a pretty strong ocean breeze going. I had to photograph the event which was a good reason to get out of the house during daylight hours for a change. It was a little chilly and I'm already anxious for summer to get here. It's not supposed to be cold here!!!!

I never thought I'd be "over" crab legs but after another Saturday night at our favorite all-you-can-eat-crab-legs joint, I won't be wanting any crab legs for quite a while. We headed to the Bamboo Garden in Torrance again this weekend and pigged out on crab legs. We also sampled their coconut shrimp and a few other dishes but we mostly stuck to crab legs. For those that have never seen it, Kim has got to be the world crab eating champion and under her tutelage, I can now throw down as well. After overstuffing ourselves, we came home to crash on the sofa and catch up on The O.C. which we always record so we can fast forward thru commericials.

Kim told me you signed our guestbook but I think I erased your comments today while deleting a ton of spammer comments. Spammers have been hitting my site hard the past few days and I've been deleting spam comments left and right. So anyway...sorry! Kim said that you loved Kenny Chesney too and that we should all go to one of his concerts. I'm down with that. And I'll try not to delete your comments next time you sign....ha-ha!

Fans of The Davinci Code will certainly enjoy this book...I know I sure did. I picked it up at Barnes & Noble last week and zoomed thru it over the course of two days. It's basically another one of those fiction books that is filled with facts but intertwined to create an entertaining story. It revolves around the secret knowledge the Templars had and why the Catholic Church feared them and ultimately had them destroyed. A great read and hopefully they'll make it into a move like The Davinci Code which I can't wait to see this spring.

I can now say that my company has gone global after picking up my first International client last week. Through some bizarre chain of recommendations, I got a call from a company in London asking me to take over their site and so I did. I had to spend a few nights working at 3am to get all their stuff moved over but it was worth it.

Watch out world! Stellar Media Group is taking over...ha-ha!

Music has always been important to me and I'm always on the hunt for something that "moves me" and recently I've gotten into Kenny Chesney big time. I know that may seem a little shocking too everyone who thinks I only listen to rock but I actually listen to a wide variety of music ranging from pop to rock to jazz and classical and now country. I've also added some other country artists to my play list including Gretchen Wilson, Keith Anderson, and Brooks & Dunn but Kenny Chesney RULES!!!! I'm not even sure if he tours around here but I think I'll be going to see him if he does. His music reminds me about all the good things I remember from my days growing up in the South.

My favorite KC songs so far;

• Anything But Mine

• I Go Back

• Back Where I Come From

• The Woman With You

• Old Blue Chair

(Don't worry...I'm still listening to Whitesnake only a daily basis!) \m/
