Earth Day and Mr. March.

Today is Earth Day. Although I am not a hardline environmentalist, I am concerned about the environment and do my share in preserving it and keeping it sustainable.

.

I segregate my trash. I minimize the use of plastics and even use just one big plastic bag during my purchases when I shop (I always tell the bagger at the cashier to put the smaller items in the same bag issued in an earlier purchase on the same day). I reuse plastic bottles and, as much as possible, carry an aluminum drinking bottle for water instead of buying bottles of 500 mL mineral water when I am out.

.

I maximize the use of paper and use scratch pad, whether at home or in the office. I always turn off appliances that are not being used. I conserve.

.

I always finish my food. I avoid being a glutton and put on my plate only the exact amount I knew I could eat. I am a responsible buffet customer.

.

I use unleaded gasoline. I carpool with friends as much as I could and give a ride to neighbors who are also on their way to the office. My car undergoes regular maintenance to keep it earth friendly.

.

I give my old clothes to my nephews and cousins. Unwearable ones, I convert to rags and use to clean my room, wipe my car or shine my shoes. I limit wastage.

.

Today is Earth Day. Take stock of what you have done for the environment. And henceforth, commit to do more. The present food crisis that third and first world countries alike is experiencing is only one sign that our Earth is in serious danger.

.

Acknowledge the problem and act. Now.

Mr. Month. The third Mr. Month honoree for 2008 is Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers. He is the star of the acclaimed TV show Tudors wherein he plays the royal King Henry VIII. He has also appeared in several films, including: August Rush, Mission: Impossible III, Vanity Fair and Alexander. However, his most notable appearances are in 2002's Bend It Like Beckham and the sexually ambiguous Brian Slade in Velvet Goldmine.

.

Three reasons why JRM can erect a pole in my pants: (1) the raw sexuality he exuded in Velvet Goldmine; (2) the raw sexuality he exuded on the cover of Details' 2007 Holiday issue; and (3) his uncanny resemblance to my gym crush, Delio.

.

JRM was earlier named in my blog as the 51st Must Blow guy.

.

Previous Mr. Month winners are model Tyler Lough (January) and Friday Night Lights' Taylor Kitsch (February).

Letterman Top Ten Earth Day Pick-up Lines. I usually end my days watching The Late Show with David Letterman and its Top Ten portion is one of my favorites. It is always hillarious. In celebration of Earth Day, the following list was prepared by the show's writers. However, the list wasn't used during the aired show. I got it from the newsletter that the show's online magazine sends me every week.

.
Here is the list. Numbers 9, 6 and 4 are my favorites.

.
10. "Would you like to hug my tree?"

.

9. "Wanna swap airborne particulates?"

.

8. "When I'm near you, sea levels aren't the only thing rising"

.

7. "Let's get sweaty like Al Gore"

.

6. "You know what they say about the size of a man's carbon footprint"

.

5. "Your eyes are as blue as the ocean used to be before Bush relaxed dumping regulations'

.

4. "Looking at you gives me a renewable energy source in my pants"

.

3. "Did you know I recorded the 1953 Christmas hit 'Santa Baby'?" (sorry, that's an Eartha Kitt pickup line)

.

2. "How'd you like to capture some of my emissions?"

.

1. "Here's an inconvenient truth -- you have a nice ass"
