Happy Monday!
So often, the beginning of the week can look and feel the same. Sometimes though, it’s on these familiar paths that we are (surprisingly) able to see something we weren’t able to before. Whatever that may be, I hope the following video clip can provide you with inspiration to try to look at the world in a slightly different light with a new sense of adventure.
Same path, but a new journey.
Why is it that these things are usually right in front of our faces?
Here’s to a New Kind of Happy Monday!
More Proof the ’80s are Coming Back
The U.S. Men’s Hockey Team will play against their neighbors from the north in Canada later today (noon, ET) in the semifinals of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. The United States has already defeated Russia in the group stage that ended in a thrilling shootout victory. Especially since Finland knocked Russia out cold with a 3-1 win the other day (some may want to place a GPS tracker on those players…), this match-up between the Americans and the Canadians will be elevated to another level.
The stakes are high with a spot against Sweden in the championship game, plus bragging rights between these two great nations, as well as between players on various NHL teams, are on the line (technically, the blue line).
Canada is traditionally considered the better hockey nation. So, how can the United States rally together to shock the world again this Winter Olympics?
I’m glad you asked (different opponent, but still the underdog).
Go Team USA!
Happy Monday!
The 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia are fully underway as world-class athletes from around the globe are competing in a myriad of events, ranging from skiing, hockey and skating to snowboarding and curling and seemingly everything in between. Traditional Olympic pillars are supported by the imaginative, addictive and peculiar events like the Norwegian drive-by (Biathlon) on breathtaking slopes and in beautiful arenas.
Regardless of the experience or expertise of any of the athletes, most all of them will need that little extra spark to put them over the top in their respective competitions to claim a medal…possibly gold!

Happy Monday and Capture Your Dream!
Tonight, We’ll Say Goodbye with a Few Laughs
First off, it’s my 300th Post on Jimmy’s Daily Planet!
Second of all, I want everyone to know that I wore a denim shirt to work today in honor of Jay Leno’s final show. His comedy style is unequivocally as strong as denim fabric. In fact, here’s a joke I made up, inspired by the style of the one and only Jay Leno:
“There was a recent report that 500 Radio Shacks are closing. Isn’t that unbelievable…I didn’t know there were 500 Radio Shacks still open!?”
At 12:37 a.m., Jay Leno will officially sign-off from his 22-year reign as The Host of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. There are two guests booked for his final show (that we know about…), with his first Tonight Show guest and comedy legend Billy Chrystal returning, as well as musical guest and good friend Garth Brooks.
It will surely be an emotional day and show for Jay, his producers, writers, band, stage hands, cue card writers, etc. And let’s not forget about the final studio audience, plus the millions of viewers and faithful fans watching him for the last time on the iconic stage in the comfort of their own homes.
Tonight will be amazingly bittersweet, with several dynamics playing out, even if they don’t make the front-page headlines. However, these milestones and generational markers will be detailed and explored more in-depth in tomorrow’s post once the bright lights have been turned off forever in the Burbank studio along with Jay’s tenure as The Host of The Show.
For today, below is a video with some of the funniest bloopers or unscripted moments from Jay’s countless interviews and comedy bits.
Enjoy and have yourself a few good laughs this “Throwback Thursday!”
Be sure to stay tuned tonight because I think we all have a feeling that the Tonight Show staff have saved the best surprise for last…
