Get Him to the Greek...
Review Summary
"Get Him to the Greek" is an extremely vulgar yet very funny comedy. Taking an unexpectedly and sincere approach about the thing that matters most in a relationship, trust.

At one point, in a limo heading to the "Today" show, Snow (played by Russell Brand) wants very much to drink and get high before bickering with Meredith Vieira. Except, Aaron's job (played by Jonah Hill) is to prevent this from happening. Nonetheless, as Snow gets increasingly drunker, Hill's nauseated reactions are without a doubt priceless. Hill and Brand actually make the ‘perfect’ odd couple. The beauty here is that the script does make time for its supporting actors, which in my opinion is good thing.

Overall, I would have to say the movie (regardless of the strong sexual content, the drug use throughout, and the pervasive language used) is a good comedy. However, I must note that this film is not for the squeamish or young adult because of its notorious dialogue and suggestive nature. So in light of this we'll give this film a rating of 3 stars.

Highlights of Today’s Show...
Interview with Paul Partyka
June 12, 2010
ORLANDO, Fla. — The vibes in the studio were incredible giving way to the already high octane that comes from a lively talk show filled with such great talents such as Haydee and Raul but of course the rest of the energy comes from Jose.

Last week YSL ran out of time leaving a bit of a cliffhanger ending. But, host Jose Miranda reminds listeners that it’s ok to disagree as long as one maintains civility in the process. Discussions of issues can be tricky and though individual expressions are always welcomed one has to consider the proper form of etiquette — being polite while keeping views positive. It is then that we allow ourselves to keep a mutually respectful attitude while keeping the political pulse in Central Florida alive and well.

Moving right along in this fast pace environment, Jose delves right into Haydee’s straight talking movie box office hits and possible misses. This week’s conversation by YSL’s co-host is the movie ‘Get Him to the Greek’. Haydee states, in spite of the strong sexual content, the drug use right through, and the pervasive language used, it is a good comedy but could only give this film a 3 star rating though she felt it only merit a 2.5. After that Jose goes on to discuss cigars with Alan from the Ol’ Times Smoke Shop in Casselberry. Of course the show would not be complete until the microphone is turned over once again to Haydee for her take on fashion.

Meanwhile, sitting on the opposite side of Jose is the incomparable Paul Partyka. Mr. Partyka is one of the rare few among YSL’s guests to have the guts to stand up for what he believes. Partyka who is running for the Democratic Congressional seat in Florida’s District 24 against the incumbent Suzanne Kosmas D-New Smyrna was quoted as blasting Ms. Kosmas for not attending a rally of Brevard aerospace workers. Since then he has challenged her to a primary debate in the House District 24 race but she has yet to respond. It is Mr. Partyka’s belief that voters deserve to hear both sides in order to make a clear choice.

Jose then directs his attention on the question of the Arizona immigration law that seems to be a topic for consideration in the state of Florida. Partyka quickly mentions that he himself is an immigrant and he worked very hard to learn English to become a citizen so he appreciates the many concerns that have emerged from this. However, he noted that this decision shouldn’t be left for the state as this is a Federal matter. This is one candidate with both feet on the ground and a strong conviction for change. It’s good to see a candidate put his cards on the table. Letting our listeners know exactly what to expect from him, if elected.

To reach out to Mr. Partyka you can email him or go online to his websites: paul@paulpartykaforcongress.com or www.paulpartykaforcongres.com. However, if you choose to connect with him on his mobile, please call at 407.341.0805.


Fashion...
Chic Beach Bags Under $50
June 12, 2010
With the summer weather upon us it's time to consider that cute tote you just can’t do without. So before heading out to the sandy shores, you’ll need a sturdy, perhaps even colorful, tote that will be able to cart away all of your preferred items: a magazine, towel, your cell phone, glasses, sunscreen, wallet, maybe something for the evening and most importantly, snacks.

Whether you prefer the lake or the ocean, a pool or a pond, one thing is certain the roomier the tote, the better the bag. Newportnews.com offers a textured cotton canvas bag that’s unbelievable and all for $44. Roxy also offers an adorable Picture Perfect Bag which is quite stylish and, at an affordable price of $32. Of course, there’s the Big Buddha Santorini Tote for about $48 or the Liberty of London for Target Billboard Bag which is cute and sassy for $38 to the Ciarra Mexican Blanket Bag about $34.50. But let’s not forget the Cappelli 480 Giraffe Print Toyo Bag at Endless.com for $32.

These bags are incredible and at these prices you won’t want to limit yourself to just one, but who says you have too. Use them throughout the summer months. So throw on your stunning swim suit and set sail looking fabulous and your budget intact.

Well, that concludes our program for today. And, as you can clearly see it was quite a show. For more excitement and lively discussion, come back next Saturday and listen to the YSL radio hour with Jose, Haydee and the YSL team. Don’t forget as the clock strikes 12:00 Noon it’s time for the Yo Soy Latino show.

Article By: H. Ayala
June 9, 2010
ORLANDO, Fla. — The other day I presented this question to my intern and while I wait for her 500 word essay I decided to act on it myself. I don’t profess to be an authority on the subject of love or relationships, hardly! Still, it did cause me to pause.

The human heart is a very complex organ. However I do believe when a woman has made such a connection with another she doesn’t want to sit there twiddling her thumbs while the other neatly pigeonholes it. When two people develop a bond, a genuine connection for one another, this bond can be very strong or it can easily be mistaken for agape love (a no strings attached union). So I believe the first thing one has to determine outright is what type of relationship either party is seeking beforehand then move forward from there.

Dating is wonderful. It can mend a broken heart or it can give you new beginnings. But, if you are like most truly seeking a worthwhile union it can be like a merry-go-round. At first, being on a carousel can be romantic riding round and round as the two of you gaze into each others eyes, but after a few rotations you realize you’re going no where fast. So be true to yourself otherwise your acceptance of the situation will only make you suffer silently and eventually put a major strain on the relationship.

Then there’s the flip side of that, when one is in a relationship for a very long time things can get off track and instead of working through it with their significant other they fall for the attentions of another and cheat. In this instance, I believe one should take a step back and bring to mind what it was that bought the two of you together, think about how you first met and how the relationship evolved and what caused it to go amiss. If in the final analysis, you discover it’s worth holding on to try to reach an understanding. This does not mean one has to compromise their beliefs except don’t be dogmatic about it, work through your differences.

Should your situation involve cheating, take into account that a cheater who cheats just because will always cheat. (Forgive me for using a he here as there are women like this too.) When a man cheats and has no complaints about it, feels there is nothing to work on, this usually is a really bad sign and should be a red flag that he is probably not trustworthy. Furthermore, you will never gain the trust back if the cheating party will not answer your questions or do whatever you need to trust him again.

Now if this is about lying, lying too is really bad. In my opinion omissions are deceptions and deceptions lead to betrayal. Many times this is coupled with cheating. If this is the case for you, and here is where it gets tough, you need to ask yourself why — why you accepting this behavior. Take some time apart to assess the relationship, focus on whether those moments together were indisputably worthwhile or, are you simply going to trivialize his actions to accept something which clearly is not doable. If you can’t validate your decision or you find yourself at a crossroad then move on as he will never change and you are merely holding on in the hopes that he will.

I’ll be the first to admit that there is no way for us to tell our hearts to switch gears, or more importantly to stop our feelings but if you view this as a learning experience, you will rise above it. Remember mistakes should be learned from and not simply forgotten. We have the ability to choose our reality, our thoughts and our feelings.

Though I’ve said much, there still remains that immanent question — What Do Women Want in a Relationship? I’m sure we can all think of the many other probabilities yet I do believe TRUST is the biggest factor for women in any relationship. We have all danced with the green-eyed monster at some point in our lives. And if you give in to it, you’ve only done yourself a disservice. Remember once the feelings of envy or jealousy have surfaced it takes over and only wreaks havoc in the relationship. But, if there is trust then respect love honesty companionship and admiration follow, which invariably will open the path to an attainable reality and of course charged with great intensity and passion.

Keep in mind that trust is something that is easily given, easily broken and almost never regained again. However, trust can mend a broken heart if the relationship is worth it. But, if your partner is looking for a way to end things, then this might be the beginning of the end.
