INSANE SOCCER SKILLS

This is like watching the Harlem Globetrotters with a ball!!  Would be nice to see some of these mad skills during the World Cup!

There seems to still be some resistance to soccer on the part of some Americans. I completely do not agree, but here is look from the other side. I wonder what it would take to change his mind??? Hum...

DoYouRemember...Why I Hate Soccer

IS BRAZIL READY FOR THE WORLD CUP?

This is the question on the minds of many people. I know the excitement level of watching some great and maybe some not so great soccer matches, is still thrilling, but I have a little knot in my stomach pertaining to some of those new stadiums. I personally would feel very uncomfortable going to a stadium that is untested on capacity use. There have been a few deaths in the building process and behind the scene stories of potential corruption and cutting corners. This makes a recipe for disaster, but I am an optimist and really hope that the Brazilian people put their best face on for the world. Obviously the cost of doing so was too high a price to pay for some Brazilians. We hear this morning that there is a strike at the airport and that traffic is a nightmare. Despite the fact that the roof of the stadium in Sao Paulo is not complete, today is game time and I hope that the Brazilians (some of the biggest fans in the world), show the world why soccer IS a religion to them. Best of luck, we will all be watching! #worldcup #worldcup2014 #bibiadventures

WORLD CUP HUMOR

I don't know how many of you know John Oliver. He is a British guy that has a new program on HBO called Last Week With John Oliver and the guy is hilarious. He too is a major soccer fan and is looking forward to the World Cup and conflicted at the same time, as am I.  He said it better then me...so check it out!

LAST WEEK WITH JOHN OLIVER

Funny and disturbing at the same time. I truly hope Brazil is ready for the world.  I considered the Brazilians, some of the major soccer fans of all time. After all we have to remember it is a RELIGION in many countries. Sports a Religion??? Hummm.....we might have to discuss!

And now for another fabulous woman who is trying to get Americans on the "FOOTBALL" wagon...I had to go there!

The Adventures of Bibi And Friends: Back To The World Of Blogging!

WOW!!!!! 

It's been over a year since I last wrote on my blog. To say I've been busy with other things is an understatement. We are about to celebrate 15 Years of The Adventures of Bibi And Friends! I'm beyond excited to bring you a new fantastic issue "As Time Fly's" Then and Now South Beach 1999-2014. We we incorporate all the previous books and update you on some of the places and comic characters that appeared in the book over the past 15 years!

 

As many of you know I've created a new web animation series  

 DIVA BIBI 

"Where Comic Book Meets Reality" for the  The Adventures of Bibi And Friends comic book.  This has been very exciting and getting great response. The series started in May with Bibi's Adventures In Europe.

I got to be a tour guide for some very unique locations in Italy, Switzerland and London. I loved doing this and would like to have a travel segment for Bibi! It was my first time and an interesting experience. Looking Forward to adding that to the program on a regular basis!

Stay Tuned For More Olympic News!

Been crazy busy covering all the results, editing & making animations! I will be back on Friday with my thoughts and the most outstanding stories to me.  We also have a guest blogger directly from London, Ms. Gerry Landry who will give us a Londoners take on the games and her City! But I will give you one spoiler alert which I predicted:

Misty May & Kerri Walsh won their 3rd gold in Women's volleyball! Catch the replay tonight on NBC! The rest of the world most likely has seen it already!

EPISODE 2 "EXPLORING LONDON"

Today's Highlight's


Michael Phelp's has tied the record with the old Soviet Union gymnast Larisa Latynina, racking up 18 Olympic medals. One more and he takes over the history books!


The USA women's gymnastic team WON GOLD!!!!!
Congrats to the Men's USA volleyball team, which won gold for the time in 20 years! Also congrats to USA women, which advanced to the quarterfinals with their 1-0 win over North Korea!


Random Opinions
I have to mention the 16 year old Chinese swimmer, Ye Shiwen who was faster in the final leg of the 400 individual medley then Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte. She beat her own record by 7 seconds from the year before. Is this "interesting" or "incredulous"? I'm not accusing anyone of anything, but when you swim like that, don't be surprised when they want to dope test you. I know she is young and a prodigy, so right now I will send her my congrats, until otherwise!


Cheers! 

2nd Athlete Thrown out of Games for Bad Tweet

WOW! Twitter is playing a big role in these Olympics, as in this is the 2nd Olympian tossed for a bad tweet.  Michel Morganella, a player on the men's Swiss soccer team, apparently sent out a tweet saying Koreans should "burn themselves" and described them as "retards" after the Swiss lost 2-1 to South Korea on Sunday.

BAD....VERY BAD SPORTSMANSHIP!

The first to go was Demtris Nellas from Greece. This was her tweet “With so many Africans in Greece…at least the West Nile mosquitoes will eat homemade food!!!”What are they thinking? An inappropriate tweet can send you home so fast, you won't have time to even tweet an apology!

Game Over before it barely begin.  What a shame!!

Bibi Olympic Zone_ Let The Games Begin!

The 2012 Olympic Games Have Begun!

I am always excited to see the Olympics! It takes so much work and dedication to get there. There is a VISA commercial running on what it takes to get to the Olympics...the commercial is so right on. You can't buy your way onto the podium, you have to run, swim, bike, sail or perform one of the various Olympic talents, which makes this unique in my opinion.

Highlights:

Opening Ceremonies: Of course the best part was the Queen and James Bond segment. I loved it, but I do have to ask one question though...Is there a reason why the Queen doesn't smile, when it seems she should...like at an Olympic ceremony in your nation?  Someone asked during the ceremony here in America, what does she carry in her hand bag? The answer back jokingly: Her smile! I knows she smiles and think she is a great lady. If the British people know something about these things, share your thoughts, but I will delete anything that is not in the Olympic spirit.

By the way there seemed to be a little scandal about the flame.  Apparently it could not be seen outside the stadium. I am happy to report, it seems that the flame has been moved to the other side of the stadium (see photo below) and relit! That is good news because not everyone gets to see the games but can enjoy 

Olympic Park, and want to see the flame. I know I would!

At the opening ceremony, we had our first time Olympic watcher!

Olympic Results:

The gymnastics have been interesting, with China & Romania 

woman athlete's having a few missteps. Can't wait to see the women perform.  The USA men unfortunately slipped in 5th place today and will see no medal after Danell Leyva & John Orozco faltered on the pommel horse.

The wonderful surprise is that Great Britain first scored Silver, then Japan had an inquiry over the pommel horse, which bumped their score from 4th to 2nd place, hence Great Britain won Bronze!

Olympic Medal Highlights

Medal Count as of 7/30 (will update tonight)

I'll be back with more Olympic results and the latest Bibi animations.

Cheers!

Is London Ready For The Olympics?

IS LONDON READY?

I have very high hopes that London will produce a great Olympics, but if today was any indication of things to come, they will have to pickup the pace a little. Today's gaffe happened when the electronic scoreboard showed the South Korean flag for the North Korean women's football match against Colombia. Seems the women had a fit and delayed the game by one hour until it was corrected.

I would advise to have someone that knows all the national flags or has a computer in front of them to Google it!

CONGRATS to the USA women's soccer team for a comeback win and beating France!

Bibi's 13th Anniversary...Coming Soon!

Hello Bibi Fans! I can't believe it is almost 1/2 way through February! Where does the time go? I have so many wonderful projects that I am working on this year, including the 13 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF       "THE ADVENTURES OF BIBI AND FRIENDS", featuring the history of "ALL THE COMIC BOOK CHARACTERS! This will take place sometime in June of 2012!  I will keep you posted on the date and place!

As you know I have been promoting the launch of my new BibiandFriends.TV webisodes.  I'm still tweeking what will work best on a time factor because it also includes animation, but I came up with an interesting format that crosses all platforms including IPAD, IPHONE and ANDROID for marketing and promotion proposes. If I could include sound, this would be fantastic!

In the meanwhile, check out my new Comedy Corner and have some fun!

Countdown: 10 Days Left!

WE have 10 days left to my KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN. Due to feedback and pledging difficulties (last night I walked Jerry Libbin through the pledge process and it shouldn't be that complicated to give money to anyone) So I've made a last minute adjustment. You can donate here

Or GO TO MY WEBSITE: http://www.bibiadventures.com/ There is a DONATE button there also! To my old school friends: Please click above link or on the website. I WILL PLEDGE FOR EVERYONE WHO GIVES THERE!


Here is my Kickstarter Video just in case you haven't seen it!

I would like to thank everyone that wants to see me succeed! I Love You All!

President Obama: Getting America To Pledge To Bibi

Bibi's Friends Going to Her Promo Party!

Raising Money Through Love

LOVE...that is what it's all about! Now you must asking yourself "What is she talking about"? On September 5th, Bibiandfriends.TV launched it's pledge campaign on Kickstarter.com, a unique website where tens of thousands of amazing people pledge millions of dollars to projects from the worlds of music, film, art, technology, design, food, publishing and other creative fields. This is an all-or-nothing pledge campaign. If my goal of $10,000 is not met in 30 days, then we receive nothing.  We are seeking your support in promoting this innovative project.

 

Click Here To Show Your Love And Pledge

Now this is where the love comes in. I need a lot of people to show me love in order to fully fund this project before OCTOBER 5th, 2011!


I have to admit it is very strange asking people for money every day for 30 days, because you don't just ask once, you have to keep going back with your hand out until they give you something. No is not an option. The great thing is that EVERYONE can afford to give something, because my pledges start at $1.00.  In this economy, I wanted to give everyone a chance to support The Adventures of Bibi and Friends. It takes a LOT of work to run a campaign like this. There is no magic bullet, but a daily grind of emails and phone calls. One has to be very confident, because for every yes pledge, there must be at least 20 none pledges. You have to let go of ego and fear and just believe. If I didn't believe, I wouldn't be here 12 years later, ready to expand The Adventures of Bibi and Friends


So are you ready to help me by pledging and call and email your friends? Your help is very much appreciated and from the bottom of heart, I send much love to my supporters & fans!
