What do you guys think of them?

Nice Guys Finish Last?

This statement seems to hold true for so many times in my life so far.  Maybe it's because I'm still in high school, or maybe it'll just continue after.  I sure as hell hope it won't be as common after high school.  But maybe some of the problem is because us nice guys ignore some of the girls that actually do like us, because they're not as good-looking as girls we try to chase, ones who end up with the douchebags.  Maybe some of the problem is most high school girls are delusional.  Or maybe just the way girls in general are programmed?  It's been shown that girls go after a successful guy.  Sadly in high school, "successful" means popular, having the nicest car(*cough* bought by your parents*cough*), and being athletic.  Maybe it's the media tainting the souls of us all?!  Who knows, but I'm really tired of seeing girls complain about how no guy out there is decent.  And just something extra to add it, it seems like to some girls, when you're nice but on the quiet side, you're apparently "creepy".  Pretty funny, so any chick out there that thinks this can go get hurt by a douche.

Seahawks Ravens NFL

at 10-0 this could possibly be a huge upset.  Go Seahawks!

Neuroscience advancing - scary!

Soon enough, neuroscience will have developed enough that it will let people read complex thoughts of our mind.  Stalker-ish eh?  I think so.  Although it may be safer for things like airports, I think this would be a huge invasion of privacy...and what if it malfunctions.  News headline in 5 years: "Man gets arrested for thinking of bombs at an airport."

Guy Crashes into House Full of Drugs

It has been confirmed that someone crashed into a house.  Inside this house were two guys playing video games, harming no one, one of them ends up getting hit by the car and DYING in the hospital later!  Not enough for you yet?  The cops had to investigate the house after the crash and found their stash of weed and other drugs.  He lost his best friend and his weed....bummer for him huh?

America's Got Talent Failed Year? 2011

So, I was disappointed when I saw Geechy Guy get eliminated from AGT the other night =[  Oh well though, many more acts that I like this year, including...aw who am I kidding there's not as many good acts this year as previous years, or so it seems.  Even the auditions didn't seem to be as good or as funny as last year.  I remember being entertained by many funny failure auditions and also the great acts seemed to balance the show, giving it just...I'll call it epic sauce lol.  I remember acts such as Sponjetta Parrish making me laugh like crazy, especially when they brought her back for a guest appearance! lol  Also just these names stick out in my head as entertaining(although some considered asinine to the judges lol) Clownvis, Mary Ellen, Sally Cohen.  I loved how far Mary Ellen made it last year lol.  Just seems like there's not as much of a spark to the show this year as there was last year.  Well hopefully they'll get some funny ones and some good ones from the YouTube auditions!( I like the comedians but they almost never make it past top 48 :/) And please all teenage girls out there, don't vote for the singers just cause they're "AW SO HAWT, MUST VOTE FOR HIM BASED ON LOOKS!" lol.  How bout something original like Terry Fator winning years back :) Just a thought

No Jobs!

Yeah, most of you already know that finding a job within reasonable range of home is nearly impossible nowadays.  Reality smacks me in the face yet again as I learn another life lesson: jobs aren't easy to find...  especially if you're under 18!  Good luck to everyone out there finding a job! Especially adults with families to support that got laid off for 1 reason or another, I hope the best for you.  At least I have a few years before really *needing* a job.  Although, I'm no spoiled brat like many other teens and the decision is for my parents to buy me a car I need to A. Make honor roll all year this past school year(Accomplished) and B. Have a job by the end of summer...(this could be harder than getting honor roll lol).  The reason for this is I'm going to have the pay for the increased difference in my parents' insurance, and my own gas of course...and we all know how gas prices are nowadays.  Bleh, sometimes I wish I was a brat and got everything handed to me but at least I actually have respect and responsibility(more than the average teen at least) to others because I don't.  But anyway, good luck to everybody, especially people with families.  Making money online may be the only open jobs in the years to come..

Grandma Jailed for Attempted Sale of Grandson

Holly Hill Florida:  A grandmother accused of trying to sell her newborn grandson last year pleaded no contest Thursday to two felony charges of illegal sale of a child and using a cell phone to commit a crime.  Patty Bigbee tried to sell her infant grandson for $75,000.  

The Missouri lottery confirmed that in 2008, she won a $1 million lottery prize in Hazelwood, Missouri(Good things happen to bad people).  Apparently, she blew the money in 2 years and became desperate for money...

She is hoping for leniency in the court case.  No leniency for her please jury?  Thanks.

Possible Cure for Gray Hair!

Scientists at the Ito Lab at New York University's Langone Medical Center have identified the proteins that cause gray hair, which could lead to a cure for it!  They have already restored gray-haired mice back to their original color, and back again to gray.  "Mouse and the human hairs are very similar in the way they are structured..." states Dr Piul Rabbani "and the way they contain melanocyte stem cells.  We found that the wnt signaling pathway is activated the same way."

I hope they find a cure, although i wouldn't mind going gray when I'm older =P

The News Overreacts!

Just a quick little rant!  Ever notice how the news takes one little thing and pretty much blows it out of proportion or is all like "oh my god that was so amazing" when it was a casual thing?  Take for example: Abc News: Article "Weiner Spotted Shopping With His Wife"  Summary of description: Hours after Rep.. Anthony Weiner resigned, he as spotted at the grocery store.  

Who cares?!  Let him be a normal person grocery shopping now that he resigned! What's the big deal?  Just.. rawr

9-year-old saves mom by stabbing attacker in the back!

In Wisconsin, a 9-year-old girl stabbed a knife wielding thug in the back after he threatened to slit her mother's throat.  Jason M. Fields,27, was holding a knife to his ex-girlfriend when the woman's daughter took a kitchen knife and stabbed it into Fields' back.  Fields groaned and dropped the knife according to reports.  Police were called to the house hours earlier because of a smashed windshield in the woman's car created by Fields.  But they left after he gave her cash for the damages.  According to the girl, this was actually the second time she had stabbed Fields so she wasn't shook up by the incident.  Fields was arrested and charged with first-degree recklessly endangering safety, strangulation, and disorderly conduct for the attack on the woman, who was not identified. Very brave girl.

Facebook Used to Hire Hitman

Police in Philadelphia, PA say that a 20-year-old woman, London Eley, posted an offer of $1000 for someone to kill her child's father.  18-year-old Timothy Bynum responded and offered to kill the man.  Eley gave Bynum the address and description of her ex-boyfriend, who contacted police.  When officers searched Bynum's home, they found a .22-caliber handgun. Eley is facing charges of solicitation to commit murder and Bynum is being charged with attempted murder and conspriacy.

Harassing Stars/Athletes over Twitter and other Social Networking Sites...Really?

So, this actually happens a lot.  Something big is going on in sports or in showbiz etc. and people start harassing the stars/athletes over Twitter.  In my opinion, it's so pointless to do something like this.  What brings this topic up is Shane Mosley getting so much discouragement.  People follow him just to try to bring him down with offensive and downright unnecessary comments.( If you get on YouTube a lot, you probably know that people would best describe these kind of people as "trolls".)  If you are seriously going to follow someone on Twitter or subscribe to someone on YouTube just to try to discourage them, what exactly is the point?  I'll have you know that some people on YouTube do actually make money and you taking the time to watch that video, even though just one view isn't worth much, still adds up.  And taking the time to comment the video; if you have activity sharing settings set to show comments you posted, it'll show up on others homepages...so technically you are just giving the poster more publicity.  But anyway, the whole concept of all these "haters" or "trolls" just shows that some people really need to either get a life or use their no-life status positively...

WARNING - FAKE bin Laden Picture Leading to Malicious Sites!

This has actually been going on for awhile, and I just wanted to help spread the news to not believe any photos of Osama bin Laden dead.  If you see one, it is a hoax, edited.  Most of these have links that lead to malicious sites that can harm your computer! Don't click the links!  You run the risk of getting a trojan, virus, or key-logger on your computer.  There have been many phished accounts on Facebook that are posting them as statuses or wall posts to others making it look believable.  Whatever you do, don't click, even if you want to see the fake photo.  This is the fake photo.

FAKE PHOTO - Fair Use because I am reporting news and educating others of the threats of clicking links associated with this picture.

Obama - "There are going to be some folks who deny it. The fact of the matter is you won't see bin Laden walking on this earth again."

It's official, no photos will be released of Osama bin Laden's corpse.  Obama says that a picture won't really make a difference.  He assures us that bin Laden is no longer alive so we should not be worrying about a photo.  I still think a photo should be shown to Americans.  People need to be reassured with evidence and this whole spiel from conspirators will end.  Honestly, the whole idea of how it was mentioned of possibly releasing a photo and now saying they won't release a photo will just fuel the conspirators with more "evidence".  Well, all I have to say is let it go for now, why would they lie about killing him?

U.S. May Release Photos of bin Laden's Corpse!

There are confirmed reports that the photos of bin Laden's dead body could possibly be released.  Releasing these images would make all the conspirators stop going on about how he is actually still alive.  So far, the only pictures released are of President Obama, Vice President Biden, and Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, and other administration as they watched the raid on bin Laden's mansion. 

BUT there are still reasons the United States is not releasing the photos of the corpse.  Since, of course, he was shot in the head and in the chest, they are allegedly very gruesome photos.  Not only that, but if the photos are released, critics say that they could offend Muslims and be in danger of extremists.  The photos could anger Muslims living in the U.S. and they could feel the need to retaliate for revenge.

In my opinion, the photos NEED to be released.  Not that I am one of the conspirators but we have to give them their proof and I think all Americans should have the right to see it.  And if Muslims would get offended by it, this is America, not Israel.(No, I'm not being racist, but maybe blunt, yes.)

False Bomb Threats - Punish the Delinquents

 Quick Summary of what My School has had

Wow, just wow.  Fourth time being evacuated in about a month's time.  Are people seriously that desperate to get out of school, and with it being so close to summer?  Bomb threats are a serious issue and posting false ones makes it seem like every threat will be false.  What if a real terrorist would actually have planted a bomb and someone makes a subtle threat that is ignored because of all the past threats being false?  Seriously, if you are that immature to post these things, you deserve to be kicked out of public education, I'm sorry but that's just the solution.  No little suspension or short expulsion is enough punishment for this kind of stuff.  Not only is this a safety issue, but a huge inconvenience for all staff and students.

A NATIONAL ISSUE

I know for sure that it's not just my school that has had problems with threats.  I've read some articles online of how much threats have been increasing and I'm thinking that the death of Osama Bin Laden may have a lot to do with this.  I think that 99 percent of it is students just taking advantage of it because they know people are on high alert now.  Now, I did hear on the news about Lancaster, PA because it is located about an hour from me.  There was allegedly an actual bomb in a parking garage and they had to evacuate that whole block and a few others.  If this keeps up, are we going to have to stay inside our own house with chain locked doors and wearing bomb squad suits at all times soon?  To end this, let me just plea to all the people making the false threats.  Please stop making these threats, it's a possible safety hazard to us all and just flat out inconvenient.  

Thank you for taking the time to read this.  Have a nice day and if you agree with what I'm saying, share with a friend? =]

Hot Tub Time Machine Movie Review and Intro Summary

 Introduction Summary

Imagine traveling back to the 80's and having to try to redo the exact things you did before so you wouldn't mess up the "space time continuum".  Would you try to make a quick buck knowing things that are going to happen?  Better be careful when doing so, be sure you repeated exactly what you did or something else you are placing a bet on may also change.  No more details or a spoiler will come, a very funny one too.

"Hot Tub Time Machine" is about three middle-aged men, Adam (John Cusack), Lou (Rob Corddry), and Nick (Craig Robinson) traveling to a ski lodge and dragging along Adam's nephew, Jacob (Clark Duke).  The whole point of the trip was Lou was thought to have attempted suicide so his friends were trying to show that they still cared for him and that his life meant something, even though he didn't actually try to suicide, he just got so drunk and passed out inconveniently while in his garage jamming down the accelerator. 

When they arrive at this ski resort, they are greeted by an image they haven't seen before, a shabby lodge.  They couldn't believe how shabby the lodge had become.  A very strange one-armed bellboy (Crispin Glover) escorts their luggage in such an unprofessional manner that is actually quite funny if you like stupid funny(Like me).  He even plain out asks them to tip him.  They are given the same room they had before, and of course that room had gone downhill too.  A random repairman (Chevy Chase) fixes the tub and it starts to bubble mysteriously.  After the guys jumped in, Lou's Chernobyl soda drink is spilled onto the hot tub controls.  They don't realize that they have been transported back to the 80's until they go out to ski the next day. 

The style of clothing is 80's and the music they were playing was 80's.  Not only that, but Ronald Reagan was live on the TV and many other clues gave them an inkling they somehow did travel back in time.  Watch "Hot Tub Time Machine" to find out how they try to accomplish getting back to their own time.

Review

In my opinion, this was probably one of my top 10 favorite comedies of all time.  It is like a mix of "the Hangover" and "Napolean Dynamite".  It does have its moments of what some people would call stupid funny, but it also has those great laugh out loud moments.  A good bit of swearing is used so if you plan on watching with children and you're particular about that, I wouldn't recommend it. 

This movie gets a 9.5 out of 10 in my book.  Hope you also enjoy this movie.  Thanks for reading, hope you have a great day!
