'All my concerts had no sounds in them; they were completely silent. People had to make up their own music in their minds!' -Yoko Ono

Happy Friday and Happy Birthday Yoko Ono. I personally think she's nuttier than a fruitcake...but John loved her and that's good enough for me!

Speaking of celebrities...I admit I'm a pop culture junkie! And I've found a great website to feed my addiction. It's ThisIsNotPorn.Com and it's a photo blog with posts about rare and beautiful photographs of various celebrities. Here you you find rarely seen pictures of celebs such as Albert Einstein, Bill Murray, Ozzy Osbourne, Princess Diana and many, many more. Any guesses who this handsome gentleman is? You got, it's none other than our Commander in Chief Barack Obama! Love it!
