Training your dog




Training your dog doesn't have to be a struggle. Getting angry isn't going to help so why not be sarcastic? Sometimes, they just need a little reminder that they are not humans....theyre dogs.

Sexpert



I know everyone is an expert with sex, but in case you need a little advice, this guy seems to know it all. Usually questions are directed towards an older sibling or friend, but in case your alone out there, its good to know theres someone as knowledgeable as this guy. He claims to be an expert, or "sexpert" so we have to believe him. Sorry it's probably only useful to guys, but that's half of the people in the world and you can't please everyone. So watch and take notes. Im sure he knows what he's talking about...

Nutrition



A major problem with staying healthy and eating well is the portions we feed ourselves. 7-11 has super double big gulps or a 120z drink. McDonald's has supersized meals. Basically everywhere you look, the portions of food have gotten ridiculously HUGE. I don't know if anyone is aware, but the more you eat, the fatter your going to get. So when this little burger came out, I smiled a little. Not because a hamburger is even close to being nutritious, but because it has finally attempted decreased the size of the burger. If we can get used to eating smaller sized unhealthy foods, maybe we'll only be slightly unhealthy. Maybe it will start a trend for smaller drinks and deserts. If the trend follows, who knows, maybe we could start eating foods with less calories of fat and higher in protein! But this is exciting. It may not be the end of the road, but at least its a start.

Its Fantastic



Everyone has an outlet or activity they do for stress relief. If you don't, you probably need one. Working out can be the most effective and benefitial because your body gets in shape along with getting rid of some energy. It can be thearputic. Or sexually satisfying, as it is for Arnold...either way it's a good thing. Maybe it's drawing, or singing or blogging? Whatever the medium is for your outlet, try and make it as fantastic as Arnold has.

Best places to find music




The best thing about music, is when you hear something original for the first time. Instantly, you know if your going to be listening to it over and over or if it's just not for you. Recently, I have discovered a two websites that consistently upload new and very original music. I was going to post the websites and share the wealth with everyone, but instead I just want to say if your interested, go find them. By keeping my mouth shut on this, hopefully the websites won't attract too much attention, and I can continue to find great music without it being over played. That would also be very selfish. In the event, that would happen I'm sure my blog would have little to no control over the popularity, so here they are:

The Haka



Rugby is full of so many rules and tactics most are unaware of. New Zealand's Haka is one of them. First of all, rugby players usually tend to be tough individuals. They also tend to be crazy tribal dancers too..Before a match these guys seem to summon some demon spirits or something. They have something going though. Theres no reason we all can't take this approach to facing a day of classes or work, or even a battle with your pet. Some may call it primative, I like to call it passion. Passion for life is a good thing. New Zealand has it, but do we?

During tough economic times, such as these, it is good to understand how to balance your finances. Any bank would be more than happy to help you out too. They'll give you a card, let you buy a whole bunch of stuff, and only make them pay you back a fraction of the cost. Sounds awesome. Of course we all know that's not the whole story...there's interest, and credit score. But banks don't really want us to think that stuff matters I guess. It almost seems like the encourage excess spending. So what if we did max out our cards and pay them off with another? I think its about time to start hustling these banks at their own game.

Friday the 13th



Friday the 13th comes with so many stigmas. I think there are at least ten movies in the series and countless based around the day. They're all scary and usually based around Halloween though. Why? To the best of my knowledge its just another Friday. A reason to party. Hit the bars and embrace the weekend. So I propose making it a holiday, not a scary day. I'd love to get a present or something on Friday's, so why not show some love to this day?

Say Hi to your mother for me..

http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/video/clips/mark-wahlberg-talks-to-animals/727504/


Mark Wahlberg has played many roles. He has been in Boogie Nights, The Italian Job, Max Payne and produces Entourage. Obviously he has a name for himself. Aparently, he is a proud man. Maybe too proud. Being from the northeast, I understand it's definitely about who you know, but that doesn't mean telling everyone about it. No one likes a ego maniac. I think the word for it is humble? Yeah humble is probably what everyone needs a little more of. He is definitely not the only person in need, so I think we can all take a little away from this and work on humbling ourselves just a little more. But tell your mother I say hi in the meantime.

MILK!



By far the most delicious drink of all time. Milk should be nominated for some glorious award for all that it provides to mankind. It is literally a stable food for some tribes in Africa. Babies also get most of their first meals from milk. It is an amazing compliment to cereal, cookies, etc...etc. It has a lot of protein for sustained energy and muscle growth. On some cartons, there has been a missing persons ad, so it can also be accredited for helping to find lost people. So I ask the question, what can't milk do? Start a car? That's not milks fault. Milk has been a great drink for some time, I figure it is finally time to give it praise. Thank you milk!

The Face of Rap

Everyone has different goals in life. Some aspire to be famous actors or musicians, doctors, CEO's, astronauts and so on. Niether is better than another, because it is your individual desire and dream. When that dream takes the form of becoming a professional rapper, your goals have taken the form of this picture. All you have to do is get some tattoo's, chain, grill and look like you just came from the ghetto. By most standards, I don't think that takes much effort. Actually, all rappers tend to fit these characteristics. But what about the kid who didn't grow up in the hood and desperately wants to become a famous rapper one day? What does he do? Sure he can try and act like something he isn't, but why can't he wear some flip flops and wear a shirt? I guess its because the face of rap remains as appealing as living in the ghetto.

Blek le Rat





Graffiti is a very broad type of artform. Some do it for a statement, while other's like Blek Le Rat, do it for a purpose. If you aren't familiar with his work, check out this website: http://creativity-online.com/work/view?seed=22f4c7ac here you'll be able to get a good idea of what he's all about. He's different because he stencils his artwork instead of making big block letters with loud colors. And theres a ton of it! The stuff is in nyc, italy, france and london. Most of the time, when we pass graffiti style work, we tend to look at is as a destructive form of rebellion. We fail to stop and think about the effort and theory behind it because most of the work frankly is not worth it. But having someone that puts meaning into graffiti is definitely worth taking a second look.

Baby Mammoth

http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/episode/waking-the-baby-mammoth-3630/Overview#tab-interactive

Most people will miss out on this show, including myself, but honestly this is very cool. A 40,000 yr old baby mammoth....sounds intense. If you go to the website you can get some awesome graphics about the mammouth and a good idea of what it actually looks like. I am thoroughly dissapointed that I won't be able to sit down and watch this. Apparently, it is the best preserved mammouth ever found. It's nothing short of crazy to think that these animals actually stomped the earth. I want to say that if I lived back then, I would keep one for a pet. But even more interesting is that it was just accidentially found. How long have we lived on this earth and we are just now finding this thing? Really makes you wonder what else we haven't found...

Tea party

http://taxdayteaparty.com/">http://taxdayteaparty.com

This tax season will come as a relief to some and a major change for others. Obama's new tax policies will increase taxes for the wealthiest american households, while lowering taxes for middle-class families in an effort to spark an economic recovery....so why the tea party?? Ultimately, it is based around the same concepts of the initial tea party in 1773, where tax payers were fed up with taxes they had fought hard to avoid. Now, I do agree the American economy is in need of some upward movement, but it is not the job of the wealthy to pay for it. That would be like punishing the smart kid for getting A's. America was based around the belief that the hard working individual could work his way to greatness, not working so others don't have to. There are many other economic policies that can help this economy, such as a corporate tax elimination or just simply getting more people to work harder..? While the tax may not exactly be on tea, the concept of wealth without unfair taxation is worth protesting.

The Bowl Haircut




The bowl hair cut. Also referred to as the "mushroom" or "chili bowl," but regardless it is a most admirable hair style. It transcends time. Screams for compliments. And definitely distinguishes the individual. I have had the pleasure of sporting this fine hair style from the ages of 6-8, but have recently thought about growing out the top of my head, while buzzing the bottom half dramatically shorter...
In fact, there are a lot of things 6 yr olds do that seem to die out with age. I don't understand why though? If you want to wear sweats, cowboy boots, and a superhero cape, why can't you? I guess we get too serious and proper, but this bowl-cut is the way to break away from that path. So I say grab a bowl and some scissors!

Best Summer Jobs

Although summer is best spent by the pool, some of us may have to work. So, here are a few suggestions to keep you from letting a job interfere with your fun...


1. Cutting Grass
2. Lifeguard
3. Anything at a Marina
4. Soccer Referee
5. Pro Shop Employee for a Golf Course
6. Bartender
7. Camp Counselor
8. Personal Trainer
9. Water Park Employee (must work at top of rides)
10. Work at a Concert

Smart...



I guess its never too early to learn how to be an addict. Definitely don't think children should be doing drugs, but it seems its never too early to practice. That's why you can't hate on kids like this. Maybe his goal in life is to be the best addict in the country...or even the world. So why does he have to wait until high school or college to start practicing? He will have lost out on so many opportunities to perfect his smoke rings or rolling techniques. It's just not fair that an athlete can begin practicing from birth, but addicts have to wait until they hit puberty. I applaud you smarties smoker for taking the initiative.

Harvard has no sense of humor

http://www.zug.com/static_pages/pranks/harvard-vs-mit/index02.html

On April Fools Day, it is most important to realize that a joke is meant to be funny, so its okay to laugh. Now MIT and Harvard have had a long history of playing pranks on each other. But again, those are all in good fun. You can't, and shouldn't get mad because its only a joke. But what happens when your caught a little off-guard? I think that's when your true colors are revealed. That was the case in this experiment. Both school's experienced the same joke, but Harvard got angry, while MIT took it with a smile. That definitely says something about the personality of the campus. Would you want to work with someone who was always business? No. Of course not. So why would you want to go to school with a bunch of people that can't take a harmless joke. I wouldn't...

How we sell sex to little girls



I guess the older you get, the more aware you become. When your 5, buying anything other than candy or games probably seems worthless. When your 21, alcohol and food are probably on the top of the list. And when you hit 50, your probably thinking about retirement and what beach you want to visit. At each successive age, you can look back and remember how naive you must have been to believe in things like santa or the easter bunny. But that's exactly how you learn, with age. So when a band like the Jonas brothers have such authority and influence on a younger group, you have to hope its with good intentions. They can easily trick us though. Just like you can tell your parents your studying, when your really getting ready to party. Its just the image you give off to the intended audience. I guess a purity ring would be a good thing for us all to wear, that way everyone will think we're completely innocent

Malibu



Without a doubt, the old school American Gladiators were the best. They had the coolest names; such as: "Nitro, Viper, Laser" and the list continues. And of course, nothing can compare to the final event, The Eliminator. What made it really stand out, however, was that the characters were so engaging like Malibu. A massive, roided-out California surfer persona gave viewers something to laugh at and maybe a role model for others...
Now that the show has attempted to start again, I just don't have the same desire as before. Maybe the characters are just as big or intimidating, but something is just missing...I want to say its people like Malibu. Too bad he's soaking up those cosmic rays..

Caring

Most people have specific passions in life. They wake up every morning with a desire to accomplish something. Maybe its going for a run, or making an A on a test, or anything that would make them feel like they had achieved a goal. When that goal is reached, im sure it feels amazing. You can stop, look back, and say "wow look what i did!" There is a flip side, however, which is failing. More often than not, this tends to happen when you set unrealistic goals. Most of the time, this feeling will make the person sad or even depressed, for they surely tried there hardest, yet it was not enough. \Do not worry, for there is a solution to this feeling. All you have to do to avoid feeling let down and depressed is to not care in the first place. Its a great strategy. Whenever you dont accomplish anything, you wont feel sad because you never cared to in the first place. And when you do accomplish something, its unexpected and feels even better than had you tried. So i say quit setting your bars so high, in fact dont set any bars at all. just lay back, relax and enjoy life because you will have already accomplished everything you've set out to do.

Teamwork



I have recently come to the conclusion that you should have a teamate for absolutely everything in life. When a problem comes along, who is better to blame than a teamate? And when you don't want to do the work, who has to pick up the slack? You guessed it, your teamate. The only downside to having a teamate, is if he too is a slacker and lacks the motivation needed from a truly effective team. Some may also argue that both parties should equally distribute the workload. To me that just sounds like your team has no direction. If you really want to accomplish a task, you need to have a supervisor and a worker. I opt to be the supervisor. A major problem is that we seem to require teams for only large tasks. Why not for common and easy tasks like eating, thinking, driving...etc. The possibilities are endless. Having a teamate there to assist would just make life so much simpler. Imagine not having to use all your energy picking up your sandwhich, when your teamate could do pick it up for you. All you would have to do is chew (which he could also help with, but that might get a little creepy). Or maybe a teamate to help with laundry? You could just worry about getting the clothes dirty, while your teamate cleans them. I honestly don't think we should demand so much out of ourselves anymore. Instead, find the teamate that perfectly compliments yourself.

Nostradamus



Nostradamus is said to have predicted the "French Revolution, the birth and rise to power of Hitler, and the assassination of John F. Kennedy. He also predicted other events, such as the Great Fire of London (1666) and the exile of Napoleon to Alba"(nostradamus101.com). Sounds crazy! Some people want to be skeptical of his predictions, but lets assume for a second that he truly knew all that history would happen before it did. And lets also say that his predictions for the future, like WWIII and the end of the world, are true. How did he get this awesome skill? Was he born with it? Did he read a whole bunch of books? I find his predictions more fascinating than anything, so I want to think he knew all of this. But now I want to know how to predict stuff too. So I am going to start making predictions for the future now, that I know will come true, in hopes that it will lead to other uncertain predictions that also come true. My first prophecy will be: "In one week, in a land of warm sun, south of the USA, many people will be smiling and drinking heavily." Granted, next week is spring break, so lets hope it comes true!

Capri-pant wearing guy.




This blog goes to you Capri-pant wearing guy. I want to go ahead and inform you, just in case someone hasn't already, but go ahead and pick one. There's really no grey area with the type of clothing you choose to cover your legs; its either shorts or pants. Anything else is probably meant for a girl. Sure, you may be trying to be "stylish" or "different" but when it comes down to it, your just making the rest of us feel awkward. I'm sorry to burst your little indecisive bubble, but come on, just pick one. Honestly I dont even think you can buy those on the male section of any store. Typically when you see a male wearing capri pants, you don't think, thats one cool dude right there, I need to go meet him and find out where he got those sweet capri pants. Nope, you just automatically think, uhhh are those your sisters? Or are you just coming back from the dojo and about to ninja spin kick me? Maybe I'm just being naive, but summer is coming up and I really would be more comfortable if guys would go ahead and just stop wearing those pants.

Cereal.....The best Food on Earth?



Froot loops. Lucky Charms. Pops. Apple Jacks! Those are just a few great sugar cereals. Kashi is another great brand that makes some great organic and quite healthy cereals that do not promote tooth decay. Regardless of the type of cereal that you pour into your bowl, its good any time of the day. For breakfast, lunch or dinner cereal just seems to hit the spot. What, you've got a craving for something quick, delicious and filling? I've got your answer! You can eat it dry or not. I personally love specific cereals with milk such as Coco Puffs. At the end of eating the glorious bowl or chocolaty goodness, you get to enjoy some chocolate milk. Can't beat that! The best part is that its much healthier than shoving down a burger and fries that are full of grease and fat. The worst you'll get from cereal is some sugar, but you can burn that off in a matter of minutes. So if you have yet to indulge yourself with a bowl of cereal today, grab yourself a spoon and enjoy the best food on earth!

Giving To Bums



If you give a bum some money, where do you think it goes? To his bank account? For food? Beer? All fine questions, but it doesn't really matter. What truly matters is if it is appreciated. If they want to go spend the money on a 40, so be it. In fact, that is probably the most economic use for a couple bucks these days. The real reason I bring this up is because I have quite frankly lost my tolerance and sympathy towards homeless people. Sounds cold, but its the truth. Every time I have money in my pocket, I gave it to them. But just recently this one bum decided to to curse me out after giving him only a dollar. Most people should be grateful if someone gives them a dollar, but not this guy. This guy was under the impression that all his hard work during the day deserved more money than the dollar I had to give. So I think for the next day or two, I may need to rethink who I give money to and who I dont. And now I wonder how he would've reacted if I only gave a quarter? I think the qualifications for giving money should be narrowed to one that is truly desperate, or just really funny and worthy or it. And for you, dude who got angry for getting a dollar, maybe start asking for a hug.

Being the Ball





" I'm going to give you a little advice. There's a force in the universe that makes things happen. And all you have to do is get in touch with it, stop thinking, let things happen, and be the ball. " -Caddyshack


Possibly the greatest quote of all time. This outlook on life would help many, many people from some every day stresses. Because when it comes down to it, we really have no control over the outcome of most situations. Yet we continue to pretend like we do. I think we can all admit we get wrapped up in some situations. Maybe for a couple minutes or a couple months, but after it is all said and done, how much do we ever change the future? Maybe its a philosophical or religious question, but honestly, how many future plans are ever followed exactly? I want to say none. At least none of my plans work out. So its not giving up and saying you have no input as to what eventually happens to you in life. It is being realistic and accepting the fact that all you can really do is worry about being the ball, staying positive, and just going with the flow.

Getting Old


I don't see why getting old means getting boring. Sure your skin may get wrinkly, or carry around a walking stick to help you move around, but why should that keep you from having a great time? By that age, I'd hope you would have less worries or cares than ever before. In fact, that seems like the one time in your life where you should be doing everything to the max. Minus the mobility factor, I plan to have a very exciting and comical elderly life. Think about how much mischief you can get out of just for being old. When a police officer pulls you over and asks "Do you realize how fast you were going?" I can't wait to pretend like I can't hear him and just say back in my day we didn't have speed limits; or something along those lines. Apparently the older you get, the more "cranky" you get. I don't want that to be the case either. I want to be the cool old guy that has sweet stories to tell and advice to give. However it turns out, if you can look back, while sipping a drink on the beach, and still have the energy to flick someone off, I'd say you did alright.

Actions Speak Louder Than Words



This clip is awesome because it shows why a fight will typically never happen. Sure, two people may have legit reasons to argue and get into a heated verbal confrontation. The reality of the situation, however, is that neither party really ever wants to fight. Simply put, they are both too hesitant to act on their words. Now I'm not saying that instead of yelling at each other that they should have gotten into a fight; rather that there is no point in yelling in the first place. By yelling, they are giving off the impression that they have no problem fighting, but the reality is they wont. So if they are not going to fight in the first place, why are they yelling at each other? Its not just the case in this video, because too often on the road, or at a bar, can you find two people in a heated argument. Its probably a male dominance battle, but honestly, sometimes its better to either cut the bullshit and fight, or just save yourself the energy and go on with life. Its really just a waste to say your tough, when you wont back it up.

the best job

Most jobs require an attention to detail. Accuracy. Precision. Motivation. Knowledge. Leadership. Persistence.......

The list can continue, however, whether you agree or disagree with those requirements, a job assumes you can perform to a certain standard. Apparently, there are jobs that do not require any specific standard or amount of accuracy, yet continue to receive compensation equal to that of a highly motivated and accountable employee. You may ask what profession? What job can i receive a salary and be wrong more than often? Almost sounds like a joke.....

The answer is a Meteorologist! I don't know if you have checked your local forecast lately, but I can almost guarantee you that they were wrong. Honestly all I would have to do is watch the next channels forecast, add a degree or two and predict the wrong temperature for the day. The ridiculous part is that no matter how correct or inaccurate i was, i would receive the same amount of pay. Sounds like the best job to me!

Me time

Zoning out is maybe the most productive actions a human being can do during the day. Some people call it slacking, I call it "me time." It's not like your being lazy, its just taking a few minutes out of your day to hang out with yourself. Listen to your thoughts instead of someone else's. In fact, my favorite times to do this are when someone insists on talking about anything I have no interest in hearing. This always seems be a great opportunity to tell catch up with myself. More importantly, it keeps you from laying in your bed at the end of the night wondering what the hell happened today? It's a chance during the day to pause and escape from a hectic day. Also, by taking this little zoning out break, you give yourself the energy to move on to a next phase of the day that may demand absolute focus and may prevent mini zoning out moments. This is not to be confused with taking a nap; rather stopping to reflect and relax for a few moments before continuing with life. .................I don't see anything wrong with that.

The Trouble Girls Go Through To Have Guys Notice Nothing...

I've noticed that come an important night out, it doesn't take guys nearly as long to get ready as it does for girls. Not really a revelation, however an important fact. So I ask the question, why? Why do girls feel the need to put on all the make-up, get the hair and nails done....and so on..

Honestly, they go to so much more trouble prepping for an evening than any guy I have ever heard about. Now I'm not complaining. Because girls do look very good when they go out. However, the point I am trying to make is I wouldn't notice if they did all the prep work beforehand, or if they just hopped out of bed and threw on some clothes. It's almost like a fashion contest for them, but for who? It can't be for guys? When asked what we think about a girls hair, a typical male response is: "what about it?" Not that we don't care (because wow we really do care about how your hair looks..) but we simply don't notice that stuff. Yall already have us beat before you put any prep work into the evening, so why make us feel bad we don't really notice it?

The Roo

http://www.bonnaroo.com/

If you haven't heard of The Bonnaroo Music festival by now, today is your lucky day. Every June on an old cotton field in Manchester, TN a glorious festival of music/arts/and hippie collide to form what is best known as...."The Roo." Personally, I have only had the pleasure once in my life, but its impact continues to show. No where had I ever been able to wake up earlier than I wanted, piece together my life, and experience more music I had never heard before with 90,000 hippies. For lack of comparision, it's like modern day woodstock. This year's lineup looks to be just as crazy as when I went and I hope to go again. The website gives a good picture of what you would be getting into, but until you are actually getting nuts with a mass of fun loving people, you will not understand. I suggest checking it out if you are unaware of the Roo.

I live to scratch!


Depending on the lottery as a source of income is obviously not the smartest move, but enough people take the chance to keep the industry going. With scratch off lottery tickets, it becomes a chain cycle. You buy a ticket, maybe win a dollar or two, but more than not win nothing. On the off chance that you win anything, you tend to buy more scratch offs. You may buy two more thinking now your odds are twice as good. This cycle could continue for a while, but usually ends up in winnin a couple bucks or nothing at all. So I just don't understand why people continue to invest so much money into lottery tickets. I know people that seem to live off the "thrill" they get from the chance of feeling like a winner, but is that really worth it? Personally, I don't see the problem in a spontanious ticket every now and then, in fact today was one of those days. Living for the scratch off and viewing it as a lifestyle seems slightly overboard. Maybe they should try a new habit like knitting, that way they will be producing something good. And hey, I could use a new sweater too.

The Permanent "Angry" Face


I don't know if many people are truly aware that first impressions make an impact. Why would anyone want to ruin a first impression without even knowing it? Apparently, some people either don't care, or they are just permanently angry. Zoolander was famous for his "Blue Steel" look, but that was just a serious face. What I am referring to is the individuals who tend to walk around with a permanent angry frown. Sometimes I want to just walk up and give them a hug or a lollipop, anything to just get them to be happy. Happiness is a state of mind, so I simply cannot relate to a person that's permanent state of mind is of anger. The only conclusion I have come to, is maybe they don't realize that they actually look pissed off all of the time? Whatever it is, maybe check yourself and see if you are one of the people that is permanently spreading anger. I just want to make sure every impression I make, is a happy one.

Internet License?

I find the internet as a great way to keep in contact with friends and family. In fact, I think its great that my 70 year old grandmother can send me chain emails from her office each and every day.....

But honestly sometimes I think you should have a license to be allowed on the internet. How many complaints are made about children visiting inappropriate sites? Or hackers stealing information and sending virus'. These are almost minor casualties compared to when old people start clicking away. I can't describe how much longer it takes them to type, let alone figure out what an attachment is. However slow the learning curve may be, the ultimate conclusion is older people tend to go overboard. I personally learned my grandmother got a facebook account yesterday, and immediately got a message saying "grandmas here." Oh joy...

So to avoid children from visiting inappropriate site, and older people from using the technology that has only been around for a fraction of their lives, I say let's require a internet license?

"Hey last night was fun!"

Public Display of Affection. Perfect examples are when your parents kissed for longer than 5 seconds in front of you. Or when your friends decided it was really appropriate to make out in the hallways of middle school. I'd like to start by saying if other people look at you strange, its a good indicator that you may be doing something inappropriate for societies standards. Regardless of the looks, sometimes it might just be nice to take into account other peoples comfort levels. You may not care that anyone sees you making out with your partner at the mall, but to the 6 year old Xbox fanatic, it may be eye opening. The only reason I bring up this topic is Valentines Day is approaching and I cant imagine PDA decreasing during the weekend. So I have come up with a solution to save the helpless Xbox fanatic. Whenever two people are going at it in public, Im going to simply walk up and say to the girl, "hey last night was fun!"

Reasons to watch Jerry Maguire:

1. It's a good reminder of the 90's

2. The kid with the blue glasses is awesome.

3. Rod Tidwell's kid is even better because he destroys Jerry's office.

4. Theres a guy named Koosh, who couldn't be closer to Peyton Manning

5. If you look hard, you can tell Tom Cruise is possibly the shortest person in the movie.

6. Everyone has sweet hair.

7. Bruce Springstein.

8. Rod Tidwell looks like Hootie.

9. It has good life lessons.

10. The quotes.

Habitual Line Crosser...



Im in college. I have roommates. Theyre great sometimes, and other times I need my space. Most times I try to avoid confrontation, like most but recently I think it would be better to apply the Charlie Murphy approach. Without getting into specifics, sometimes a roommate just needs a punch in the face. I really think thats the only way to prevent a habitual line crosser. You can only be nice for so long, until you just realize that when they mess with your world, you need to mess with their world. An eye for an eye approach seems somewhat primitive, but maybe its just time to bring it back to the old school way of interacting. I think this only applies to a same-sex roomate, however, and after the habitual line crosser fails to change his ways....

Change?



After I watched Obama give his inaugural speech, I was hopeful for this new "change" that is coming. I agree. Change is needed. Change is needed from us all. Many supporters, however, seem to think that the change has already happened (having a black male as president) and that the change will come from him. This is the ignorance that horrifies me. Honestly, how on earth can you make a t-shirt idolizing Obama and swear by him, if you yourself cannot comprehend that the change that is needed is out of you? Obama declares that we have basically been a lazy and unproductive group of americans, and indeed change is needed from us all. He is good at motivating a crowd and promising new achievements, but he alone cannot do it. To this woman in the video, and the rest of the supporters who believe he will allow them to continue to be lazy, roll up your sleeves and start working because im not paying for your gas.
