StumbleUpon + Wikipedia

I just figured out you can use your StumbleUpon toolbar to select only Wikipedia articles. I thought this was pretty cool because you can just jump from random articles and then from points of interest in those articles.

Tim Tebow and Lebron James

These two are the Jesus' of their respective sports.

Tim Tebow
All American kid, plays quarterback, good Christian kid that has a spotless personal record. His coach loves him, the media loves, he scores touchdowns, he wins games, he wins the Heisman trophy. He trucks people running the ball and smokes people throwing it all while providing an articulate and humble post game interview. America's native son, and Football's Jesus.

Lebron James
Just watch this man play basketball....

Swedish Chef on Robot Chicken

In Bruges

was a really cool movie. I personally hate Colin Farrell for being so Colin Farrelly but he his pretty funny in this movie. Kinda an offbeat movie with dark humor but witty and funny at the same time.

"Make it up" Joe Purdy

When a train comes, I don't know what to do
I'm leavin' town, but I ain't leavin' you
When I get down, get these far away blues
And I don't wanna go back home

I could say I'm sorry if you think it would help
You say you call me, yeah but you never can tell
You just stand there, just wishing me well
And I can't think of nothin' to say

And I'm gonna write you a song
To tell you just how much I've been missing you
You wont have to wait very long
And i'll be home dear
And I know that you've been crying at night
But you dont have to be lonesome cause
I'm gonna make it right
Make it up, Make it up to you
Make it up to you (x3)

We've been gone now for four weeks maybe longer
And it's cold out and this hurt's gettin' stronger
And I called you but you just sat in that corner
Watching that telephone ring
Baby pick up so I can hear your sweet voice
Cause I miss you, don't be sad anymore
Cause one day I'll walk through that door
And hold you in my arms

And I'm gonna write you a song
To tell you just how much I've been missing you
You don't have to wait very long
And I'll be home dear
And I know that you've been crying at night
But you dont have to be lonesome cause
I'm gonna make it right
Make it up, Make it up to you
Make it up to you (x3)

You've been drinkin', you've been drinkin' your wine
And you're wasted, yes and wastin' your time
And it's plain now, when you say it isn't mine
Well baby can't you see I've been tryin'
I'm ready cause I know this can work
And I would take you to the ends of the earth
Just hold on just a little bit longer and I'll be back by your side

Yeah cause, I'm gonna write you a song
To tell you just how much I've been missing you
You don't have to wait very long
And I'll be home, yeah I'll be home
And I know you've been crying at night
But you dont have to be lonesome cause
I'm gonna make it right
Make it up, Make it up
I'll make it up (x6)

BE AWARE!

If you see this man in a movie:
...TURN IT OFF IMMEDIATELY.

Christmas is over

Christmas and the New Year are over. I got to see and spend time with a lot of my favorite people. Christmas is my favorite time of year and I am so glad that it is such a long holiday from school so that we can stay at our houses and only have to worry about working. I love that everyone is in a good mood and a comfortable atmosphere. Everyone likes to have fun on the holidays. You get presents you get to give presents and most family traditions center on this, the largest holiday season from Thanksgiving to New Year. Snow comes and traps families together inside to settle on couches in sweatpants. The same movies are on, the same commercials, and football is in its prime. Its when you get to see people you never get to see and to catch up on where your old life went. Christmas is a chance to feel close to your family and New Years is an excuse to imbibe and reflect introspectively at the same time. A chance for a new start in a good mood.

So Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, even if a bit late.

This would be a cool job

I think certain commercials obviously strike people as more powerful or influential than others based on their content and the viewers interest as well as the music and imagery used. Some commercials (McDonalds, Ditech, etc) are just terrible but others obviously have some thought and design put into them. Barring Taco Bell (I can't help it, I just have to have their new arrangements of the same ingredients as soon as they let me know about them) almost all of these effective and moving commericals are for movies or video games.

Ever since the opening scene of Karate Kid where Daniel-son is moving cross country with a scenic view of his car crossing the plains set to a soundtrack (don't ask, I don't remember what it was, just that I liked it) I always thought it would be a great job to add soundtracks to movies or commercials. Picking the right song to set the mood and match the chosen imagery is crucial to creating a good commercial or a good soundtrack.

Driving down the road as the sun settled and dusk infringed on my commute home, I noticed three spanish people walking down the enlarged median with bags of something. I like to think they were filled with chips and dip and light beer for their celebration of the weekends arrival. They all seemed to be in good spirits and one was speaking to the others while they smiled at his effort.

At first I thought of how I would hate to have to walk between work or the store or a bus stop, whatever it may have been. But then I realized that they were in good company and feeling better than I was, even though I was the one with air conditioning on and my music blaring. They didn't need more than a couple of other people to listen to and the optimistic arrival of whatever they had been waiting all day to do. Then I envied how easily they were contented.

Dave Chappelle standup

Dave Chappelle's stand up specials Killing Them Softly and For What It's Worth are hilarious. His segments on Chip, a homeless dude jerkin it on a bus, and smoking with Indians are worth the DVD alone. Check them out on the internet or in stores.

CHIP NO!!

MY MANWHICH!

Whatcha Got by Brother Ali

Brother Ali has been a part of my underground rap collection for a while now, but mainly his older stuff. I never really paid much attention to him but I recently bought his newest album "Undisputed Truth". I was testing Whatcha Got while driving the other day and really caught the anger and intensity the Albino Muslim rapper from Minneapolis delivers his rhymes with. The beat is rabid and violent to match the fervor the song is delivered with.
And I've never heard the word muthaphucka used so emphatically, so many times.

btw, he is really albino (he's blind) and really a muslim. but one of the greatest rap lyricists of our time

Smiley Face

In case you haven't yet, rent the movie Smiley Face. It stars Anna Farris and includes cameos from Brian Posehn, that lady from 4o Year old Virgin, Adam Brody, and Danny Masterson. Farris plays Jane F. a lazy pothead slacker who has to make various appointments in ridiculous fashion all day long after unwittingly eating a huge batch of weed cupcakes. I didn't think Anna Farris could pull off such a perfect stoner character but the added depth of Jane's obvious intelligence and the way she acts EXACTLY like one would while that baked really show off just how awesome she is. This is my favorite clip from the movie (But I laughed uncontrollably throughout the movie, for some reason....)

"Man, that cat really loved lasagna."

Sky Cam

I don't know if too many people would recognize the term "sky cam" when they heard it but to me it's the best thing to happen to football since HD. It is a camera run on wires with electric motors inside that make it zip around the stadium about 30ft (or more, I dunno) above the field and give you the view of a player, just higher. Being a former football player, I love being able to see the whole offense/defense in as close a natural POV as possible. Skycam is the only thing that can get that close. Here is a picture of the camera/shot:
This is a great view to watch from but unfortunately because of passes and field of view limitations, they usually switch to convential side cameras seconds after the snap. Luckily we still get to see skycam replays a lot, especially punts. Hopefully they start using a wider view version or shot to show more of the game in.

Killing our society

The Hills, MTV, VH1, reality television, model shows, celebrity gossip, Uggs, fake tanning, bad driving, mainstream radio, rap music, and Akon are killing our society.

You know what's creepy?

...Gerbers Baby Life Insurance commercials. The most depressing commercial you've never really paid attention to.
