Today is a very special day. I bet why you are wondering about this special day now. Let me start by tell you that my esteemed colleague, Bryan Mathews, loves penguins. His mother told me a story that he couldn’t pronounce the word penguin, so he would say “peanut” instead. I dedicate this short but sweet blog to Bryan and his “peanuts.”

Now I will tell you why today is so special. It’s National Penguin Awareness Day! I hope all of you take the time to think about your favorite penguins. The penguins that have touched you in some sort of way.

Now I will put some videos and pictures of our favorite penguins.

National Popcorn Day

Today, January19th, is National Popcorn Day. I myself am a big fan of popcorn. It can come in many different flavors and assortments. Plain, buttered, extra salted, caramel, cheese flavored, and chocolate just to name a handful. My all time favorite popcorn flavor though is caramel. Ever since I opened that first Cracker Jack box and put that first caramel flavored kernel in my mouth I have been hooked. Whether it be Cracker Jacks, Crunch n Munch, or gourmet caramel popcorn served in a tin, I find myself not wanting to stop placing a handful of popcorn in my mouth every 5 seconds.

What makes popcorn so gret though? Is it the fact that it is so low in fat? Or could it be the ease of making it? Maybe it is the way we associate popcorn. I mean you eat popcorn when you go to the movies, and movies are a fun thing to watch. You can snuggle up to someone special, and share a bucket of popcorn and be happy. Popcorn is something you can share with about anyone. I myself enjoy playing games with animals as I eat popcorn, my dogs love popcorn. popcorn is also enjoyed at sporting events. There isn’t much that can beat your team winning a game while you eat a bag of popcorn.

So whatever it is that makes us like popcorn so much lets appreciate that, and honor popcorn. Orville Redenbacher would be proud of us!

I shall dedicate this blog to a very special person. This special person is Conan O’Brien. Conan has had a place in my heart for awhile now. He has made millions laugh at his funny remarks. Not to mention the laughs the he brought us at the expense of his “Walker, Texas Ranger” lever. If you do not know why I am writing this by know I shall tell you a brief story.

NBC has aired The Tonight Show since 1954. The most notable host is of course Johnny Carson. Carson, however, is not the problem in this situation. Carson left the show in 1992 and was replaced with Jay Leno. Leno continued his run until 2009 and was replaced by Conan O’Brien.

O’Brien was once the host of “Late Night with Conan O’Brien.” He started the gig in 1993 where he held it until 2009, when he was called up to the big leagues.

Now it seems that NBC has stuck their foot in their mouth and are trying to push back his time slot. They are trying to make room for Leno’s show, which is getting moved back in an attempt to make better ratings.

As a youthful watcher of the “Tonight Show” it pains me to see one of the best comedians getting pushed around. Conan stated that he will leave the show if they push it back until 12:05 AM. I am glad that he wont support this change. I support him and so should you.

There are several ways to support Conan. One is to join this facebook group.

Come on everyone and support Conan. If you don’t we could be missing out on this sweet action.
