  • Facebook Relationship Status Drama


    This is your brain on Facebook

    My friend will dump any one who doesn't change their Facebook and or Myspace status to say In a Relationship. She believes that when they don't change it, its because they are trying to hide her from someone else. She will go totally crazy and be all "You're cheating on me you stupid fucking bastard!" As if changing his status will make him cheat on her less.

    I used to think she was crazy and stupid. Not so much anymore. I still think its stupid to force someone to change their status, but at the same time, if they loved you so much, what's so hard about changing it? What is there to hide? What is stopping you from letting the whole world know that I'm yours and you are mine? Is it that you don't want your other girl to know who I am? Is it that you aren't ready to let your family know yet? Whatever the reason, is not changing a status something to worry about or just some stupid obsession that means absolutely nothing?

  • Music I Miss: She Blinded Me With Science

    I've tried this segment before. Let's try it again. Hopefully it works better this time. On to the matter at hand ...

    Ok, so I don't totally miss this song, but I kinda do. See, I'll admit it's not a very good song. It actually kinda sucks. But something about it appeals to me. There is this weird underlying love I have for this song. For example, I would never listen to this song, but randomly throughout any given day  I might yell out "She blinded me with science!" There's just something endlessly fun about saying that. It's right up there with "That's so batman" as one of my favorite random expressions.

    Go ahead, give it a try. Say it in tune. Fun isn't it? Sure the song sucks, but that doesn't matter because it gave us a greater gift. It's just incredibly silly in such a wonderful way.



    Do you miss this song?

  • Girls Paying For Dates

    I'm not talking about letting the girl pay every once in a while. I'm talking about almost every time. I'm not speaking for most women, because I know that most women expect a guy to pay when going out.

    My cousin and I have this problem. We refuse to let a guy pay for our food, movie, or anything that a date might include.More Here...

  • Did The Original Power Rangers TV Show Hurt Martial Arts?



    Something got me thinking about doing this subject last night and yes, I know it'll be unlike my normal posts, but felt it would make a good topic.

    I've studied the Martial Arts. With that said, when I trained, the first incarnation of the Power Rangers came on television and got me so upset. I felt that though some of the values of martial arts were cast in a good light, others fell short, upsetting me and I wanted to get the show canceled. More Here...
  • Super Mario Bros For The Wii Is Better Than It Looks

    I only recently had a chance to play the new Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo Wii despite its release in November. When I first heard of it, I had serious doubts. As an avid fan of the old NES Super Mario Bros, I figured this new version would be geared for little itty bitty kids. Multiplayer Maro Bros sounded dumb to me. How can more than one person play Super Mario Bros at a time? The NES version was turn by turn, so initially I disliked the Wii version.

    The other day I ventured over to my friends house. Apparently she and her brother were going to play Super Mario Bros on Wii. I was interested in watching but they told me I could play as well. Sure, why not?

  • Reconciliation: The Letterman-Oprah-Leno Super Bowl Ad

    The past few months have been a time of turmoil, crisis and uncertainty... on late-night television. Then, suddenly, this Super Bowl ad came out of nowhere and knocked people out of their seats:

    Does this mean that Dave and Jay have made amends? I doubt it. However, according to this article, their feud may not go as deep as it seems. Personally, I was absolutely shocked by this commercial, and I nearly died laughing. This was definitely my favorite commercial of the night.

    Did you think it was funny or just meh?
  • 62 Year Old Sledder Straps Rocket To His Back...Fails


    A 62 year old sledder in Michigan put himself in the hospital after a home-made rocket exploded on his back.  The Oakland County man is known for doing “outrageous things” at his sledding parties.  He made the makeshift jet pack with gun powder, gasoline, and an old automobile muffler.  Why he did not question his invention when he was mixing the ingredients, I don’t know. Regardless, the rocket pack exploded on his back shortly after he took off, leaving about 20 percent of his body seriously burned.  He was hospitalized in stable condition early last week.  

    Now, upon a first read, this news story raises a number of thoughts: More Here...

  • Stop Upping System Reqs For PC Games!



    I've always been a huge fan of PC gaming, more so than any console or portable system I've ever owned. If you know how to put a good gaming PC together, it's nothing short of the most versatile, extensible gaming platform one could ever own.

    The variety of titles available is just as wide or wider than most consoles, it has way more options for control inputs, from the mouse and keyboard, to game-pads and joysticks. But perhaps even more important is the fact that PC's can  be upgraded to handle newer, more graphics intensive titles without the need to buy an entirely new system. A new graphics card or a memory upgrade can work wonders in an aging gaming machine. Of course, there's a catch. More Here...
  • Super Booooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwl!



    Today is one of the greatest American holidays. It's the Super Bowl.

    I got a fever ... and the only thing that can cure it is more football! Today the Saints and Colts do battle and we gorge ourselves and disgusting greasy foods so that the only true Super Bowl is our toilet. But it's a great day and a great day to get together with friends and/or family and drink and scream and eat and merriment is had by all.

    I'm pumped, are you? If not, allow this to help:
