Mah Randomness: Some guy backed up against me (butt-to-butt contact) while i was at the grocery store. I thought i was getting groped for a second, but to my chagrin (Chagrin, is that the right word?) that wasnt the case and the guy turns and says "sorry bout that". Pfft! no need for the apology, i often get the urge to grab a handful of my own ass, a little warning would be nice though.

Mah Vid OTD:

If yur eating anything and yur gonna click the link... STOP NOW!!!!!!This is more gross than any horror movie i have ever seen. - vid

Mah Ques?ion OTD:

Pretty soon im gonna have to buy more shelves for books and dvds, sadly dvds are the main reason. As many as i have i dont have nearly all the ones i want. Of all of them i think my favorites are my Venture Brothers cus they really packed in the special features. The commentary alone are hilarious enough to be worth the money. Of course Buffy/Angel/Supernatural/Bones/House ect. are great too but theres just more to be accomplished with animated features. Anyhoo, question is...

What tv show box sets do you own? (i know some people have A LOT soname yur favs if that'll save you time, lol.)

Mah Sports Talk: Over the weekend former NLF quarterback Steve Mcnair was found shot to death under what is being called suspicious circumstances. R.I.P. What the heck is going on in the NBA? Players are getting trading laft and right and many of them make little since. The Lakers lost playoff darling Ariza ut gained a comparable player in Ron Artest. Still dont know how i feel about it but as long as Ron-Ron stays outta the crowds on LA, i think it'll all work out. My Sox are doing well even though they are losing games due to poor feilding efforts, hopefully the pitching holds up and health doest become an issue.

Digg This:

Young People Fvcking {2007} . . .

Mah Take: Obviously going by title alone this isn't for the kiddies. It's rated-R but that said there wasn't anything graphic, nipple here nipple there and if anything there was mostly dude-butt getting showed and i think the dialogue is what made it "controversial". The guy from The Listener (who plays Oz) is in it and he is just hilarious and so very, very perverted. It was more comedy based on awkward situations more than anything else.

Mah Weirdness:

Story: I dont have ear wax. lol, gross i know but its weird. I used to get really bad inner ear infections when i was a kid a the medicine i took had that after effect. I guess its better than pulling out a q-tip to find something that looks like a caramel apple but i find it odd.

Hottie OTD:

Diora Baird. . .

Mah Take: Two big, very big *ahem* cheers for women who have meat on their bones, but thats not the only reason i like her. Until recetly the only roles ive seen her in are the ones in which she is the eye candy. She is still kinda fills that role in Young People Fvcking but she is also very funny. I read in her interview in Maxim (yes, i read the articles) that she would prefer not to get acting roles because of her looks, i think thats bullspit but whatever, she has a lot of roles coming up somaybe a few of those will let her show off her acting talents.

Hottie OTD:

JamieFoxx. . .

Mah Take: He sure has come a long way in his acting career,being the jingle writing playboy in The Jamie Foxx Show and portraying the legendary Ray Charles are worlds apart. It was nice and at the same time shocking to see his progression into a serious actor. Similar to the way Will Smith was shocking. He also sings very well, not into his music really but i wont deny his talent in the area. His performance in Ray was tremendous, both physically and acting wise. Even in the craptastic "thriller" Collateral he dida great job in what i think was his first non-comedic role. Oh and his stand up was good but i like his humor more in movies/tv.

Mah Music Spotlight:

CalvinHarris- I Invented Disco {2007} .. .

Mah Take: Ive been listening to more an more electro pop music lately. I actually came aross this guy while watching tv and hearing his song "Colours" playing in a commercial. The guy is so weird, in a good way though; the mixes bitso hip hop and Euro pop perfectly with lyrics that sorta come outta left field. The entire album is enjoyable but i prefer the faster songs as usual; also, i like the way the album tells a story if you listen to the songs in order. Its a small thing but it adds a little something extra.

Recommended: (Colours), (Merrymaking at my Place) and (The Girls)

Mah Tube: Last night sucked all around, there was no True Blood, no Hung (on tv) and no In Plain Sight . I did catch up on Mental and Merlin; the latter was less impressive than the former but im gonna stick in there. Also picked up season 1 and 2of Stargate Atlantis for $20 each, my Stargate collection is near completion, just 4 seasons of SG1 left to buy and 3 of Atlantis .

Mah Life: aka "The one with regurgitation"...

My sis-in-law is friggin HUGE! That might sound harsh but Im told that's normal when yur 7 months pregnant, she looks like shes gonna pop any day but still isn't due for while, its only funny cus she is such a small woman and the belly hits the corner before she does and she wasn't nearly as big the last time. I was asked if I would take pictures when the baby is born... Uh, hell no; in fact I plan on being as far away as possible when all that slippery business goes down.Its likely thatI'll be in the hospital parking lot feeding the pigeons cus on my list of things to do before I die, witnessing child birth is right ahead of putting my frankenberries in a vice. Speaking of things I'd rather not do, while at my moms house (to cut her grass, I dunno how im roped into doing these things) I overheard one of her friends talking about her exercises. Wouldn't have been a big deal if this weren't a 60 year old lady and the exercises involved kegel thrusts . Other than the pics I posted up there, im currently working on wanted posters of Sam and Dean Winchester... any ideas what they should be wanted for?Ihavent actually puked but i did eat enough over the weekend that it wouldnt have been a surprise if i did. Is there anything better thanbacon cheeseburgers? i think not. That'll be all for now...

Later

Randomness: Without spoiling itfor those who havent seen it, Transformers: Revenge of the fallen was crazy good.IMO much betterthan the first and im not just saying that cus of the cgi upgrade, though it didnt hurt. Also watched Horton Hears a Who with the niece yesterday, good movie but why was that kangaroo such a bytch?

Last week the entertainment world lost a legend; Michael Jackson passed away Thursday at the age of 50 after heart complications and a breif stint in a coma. Some people may not have liked him as a person but there was no denying his artistic talent. For all his social ineptness, he was still the King of pop. I was gonna do a top ten list on my favorite songs from him but it would have been too hard to narrow it down to just ten so this is...

Mah Top 10 Favorite KOP Music vids:

*Links to vids in the titles.

10. Leave Me Alone - He made a lot of videos that displayed his awareness as an activist but i think this is the only song/video where he kinda fired back at his critics. I loved the video in particular cus of tiny rocket he was flying and there was a lemur, how awesome is that. Seriously, how many people can pull that off? You wont see Diddy or Soulja Boy riding a tiny rocket with pet monkey in toe while dancing with the skelton of an elephant man.

9. You Rock My World - While rappers talk about how much they love Sacrface and the Godfather, Michael Jackson had the pull to get Marlon Brando (who at the time had all but retired fom acting) appear in his music video. The dancing is great as usual but the thing that always cracked me up in this vid was Mike being the tough guy and kicking some ass.

8. Jam - I remember the huge fuss made over this vid cus it was hyped as having the two biggest stars in world in their respective fields converging to teach each other a thing or two. Its still hilarious watching Jordan's long and lanky self try to dance. Tall people shouldnt dance, ever! Also loved the trick shots, just fun.

7. Beat It- While not nearly as funny as Weird Al's "Eat it". this vid stands out for one reason... the infamous zipper jacket. A kid in my elementary school had one and even though he looked like an ass wearing it, i was jealous. I loved the knife fight scene, thats cla-ssic and so very lame at the same time. If only the police were skilled in the art of dance, there would be no more violent gang wars. lmao, i didnt notice this until now but the guy from the old cop drama New York Undercover is in this vid.

6. Billie Jean - This was a ground breaking video for the fact that it was the first music video by a black artist to befeatured on MTV. I think it was the first vid where he debuted his verison of the moon walk too. I loved it cus i for the longest time wanted some of those panels that light up when ya step on them. I should look for them online but i'll probably never find them and find out Mike's awesomeness alone made the streets light.

5. Bad - Who else but Michael Jackson could survive a dance battle in the subway againt Blade and what has to be the two gayest gangs in the world; gay in a awesome Jack Harkness sort ofway, not the prison rape kinda way. Anyhoo, more great dancing and this is actually my favorite song from Mike despite only being the 5th vid.

4.Scream - I think this one still holds the record for most expensive music video. Something i still dont understand cus he could have gotten the same effect by destroying a vase from Target but i guess it adds to his awesomeness that he spared no espese. The reason i like it so much is cus Mike and Janet are in it togther for the first and only time. I remember being shocked and very impressed that Janet could keep up with Michael's dancing.

3.Smooth Criminal- This was his only video that feltlike to an actual movie going experience (Moonwalker),the guy turned into a car and a friggin robot, lol.Its also the only video ever that i felt any sort of emotion while watching. The first time i saw it there was worry and fear, even though i was a kid, to get that from a music video is something great by itself. Of course the best part is that lean, i would be willing to be at least 20 kids lost teeth trying to do that move only to crack open their mouth on a coffee table.

2. Thriller - There is no way to even begin counting how many times i have watched this vid. As a kid i had the VHS and watched nearly everyday mostly cus it scared the crap outta my younger sister, other than that it literaly never gets old or feels dated. The choreography is tops and the effort and detail that went into the background dancers is exceptional, you just dont see that kinda dedication in todays artist. It can be argued that its the greatest music video ever and contains the single greatest group choreography on any platform but still falls short of my favorite from him.

1. Remember the Time - I remember seeing him turn into sand the first time and going Holy shyt, did that really happen. I think this was his first (or maybe second after Smooth Criminal)truly spectacular video in terms of effects which by the way were before their time. Perhaps other than Thriller, this vid has the best choreogrphy ever.

Honorable mention to Ghosts which got left off the list cus it was a movie. not technically a music video but it was equally if not more impressive than any of his other vids. There are so many great songs from him but he revolutionized the music industry by creating the big budget music video; they were actually more like mini-movies in both length and quality. He spared no expense to convey his vision and share his passion with the world, his transformation (literal and figurative) from kid to adult was astonishing and though I never got a chance to see him perform live, Im glad I was around to see him at his best. He set a standard as a performer that to my knowledge has yet tobe matched...R.I.P.

Ques?ion OTD: While i wasnt particularly pleased with the news ofhis death taking priority over everything else during the weekend, i was and willlikely forever be a fanof his music. Like i said, it would have beentoo hard to narrow it down to just 10 songs but i do know my number 1fav is "Bad". Anyhoo, question is...

What is yur favsong or video by Michael Jackson?

Gotta love Chizuru and Boobie-chan. Its not exactly marshmallow hell, but close enough. And its the only one i could find on short notice that wouldnt earn me a TOS violation.

Later

Mah Randomness: Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen hits theatres today, well actually last night. We were gonna catch the midnight show but I was entirely too tired plus no one felt like standing in line to (possibly) get tickets. Gonna wait til Friday night or maybe Saturday night to see it. Should be a good one, it looks better than the first so Im pretty excited.

Mah Vid OTD:

You should seriously consider drinking Wilkins Coffee... or else!- vid

Mah Anime Spotlight:

Naruto Shippuden (episode 114) . . .

My Take: (Spoilers) After the horrible and I mean horrible 3 tails arc it looks like the anime is finally getting back to being compelling and enjoyable to watch. All I have to say about Orochimaru is... wtf! I knew the guy wasn't exactly a normal human but a giant white snake creature is something I didn't see coming. The episode was largely interrupted by flashbacks of Orochimaru's days as a Leaf ninja, something I would typically hate but I found it to be one of the best episodes of Shippuden to date. Reason being is that it was so riveting to see him try and fail not once but twice at attaining the eyes of a Uchiha. Like always though, it ended without much action taking place but it did leave me wondering about the outcome of the battle between Sasuke and the weakened serpent.

Mah Ques?ion OTD:

One of my best friends in the world Lauren (we call her Potter) is moving away *tear*. Not for good but she is going back to college... all the way in frigginWashington. So sad, that girl is funnier than ever and she likesaction/scifi movie, what more can i fella ask for.After she leaves i'll be down to 5people i consider close friends, i have plenty of other people i like hanging out with but very few that i consider buddies, amigos, pals, mates... Anyhoo, question is...

How manyfriends do you have? (people you can count on in an emergency, good listeners, so on and so on)

Mah Sports Talk: NBA playoffs ended a while ago but since I haven't been posting forgive my lateness as I congratulate the World Champion, Los Angeles Lakers. I thought the Magic woud put up more of a fight but i cant complain about, the playoffs were damn good this year. Sticking with the round ball (never understood that term cus with the exception of footballs, all balls are round, but whatev) the San Antonio Spurs pulled off a sweet deal to acquire Richard Jefferson from the Bucks. Ironically, Gregg Popovich after all that hatin he did when the Lakers got Gasol, has nothing to say as his team got an equally lopsided transaction... I smell a hypocrite. My Sox are still mediocre at best, though injuries hae played their role. The pitching has been much improved since the start of the season so hopefully the bats, much like the weather in Chicago heats up.

Digg This:

Fired Up!{2009} . . .

My Take: It's like Wedding Crashers meets Sex Drive, the latter btw, was friggin hilarious and on a side note, I recommend it. Anyhoo, this is one of those I didn't bother seeing while it was in theatres cus I figured all the funny stuff was in the trailer. I bought the DVD cus it was only $14 and figured I'd at least see a boob or two in the un-rated version, lol. In the end I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with the acting being so good, the comedy being so well done and the co stars were much funnier than the two leads. Also, this movie solidified me being a fan of Adhir Kalyan who played Brewster, the very gay and proud rommie at the camp, he was hilarious.

Mah Weirdness:

Story: Every time I eat M&M's i always save the orange and brown ones for last. Yeah, i know they all taste the same but i like the color combo, reminds me of Halloween.

Hottie OTD:

Rihanna . . .

My Take: Even when she was sporting that shiner she got from sassing Chris Brown she was still a bona fide hottie. I like her music but her more up tempo singles, probably cus I like watching her dance. I am particularly in love with her eyes; I'd scoop them out and put em on display if ever given the chance, I also dig her more with shorter hair. This has nothing to do with anything but since they are often compared, I think Beyonce is a bit overrated, so imo Rihanna owns her in every way.

Hottie OTD:

Cam Gigandet . . .

My Take: Never seen a single episode of The O.C. or any of his other television appearances but I do know he was up for the role as Snake Eyes in the upcoming live action G.I. Joe film until being bumped in favor of Ray Park. After watching him in Never Back Down, I think he could have pulled off the character, his acting was that great but the entirety of that movie was poorly acted, plus Snake eyes isn't exactly the chatty type. He was very intimidating in Twilight; he was a highlight for me in the midst of all the teen angst.

Mah Music Spotlight:

The Black Eyed Peas - The E.N.D.{2009}. . .

My Take: Things like this are the reason I went from reviewing artists in general to featuring individual albums. Ive been a fan the Peas for a while and though I am never opposed to an artist or group stepping over the genre line, I am most definitely against failing the attempt and forgetting your identity as a musician. There are only 3 songs that are tolerable to listen to in their entirety, the rest are horrible attempts at fusing hip hop with electro pop. The energy never dies but my affection for the BEP may have just bitten the big one.

Recommended: (I Got Feeling), (Ring-a-ling) and (Boom Boom Pow)

Mah Tube: Didn't feel like doing the long "what ive been watching" blog so lazy version it is... Hawthorne - Not impressed, not at all. It was over the top and not at all compelling, a poor attempt to re-create the magic that is House. True Blood - Damn this show is good. I really hope Laffayette gets turned or at least survives his dinner invitation with Eric n co. In Plain Sight - Hasn't been as good as the first season but the last three episodes have been awesome. Royal Pains - Not laugh out loud funny but it's certainly enjoyable, hopefully the guest stars improve. Mental - What's with all the medical dramas? This one isn't bad; in fact it's pretty good. I have two episodes on the dvr yet to be watched but im liking it so far. The Listener - Im trying to hang in there in the hopes that something happens other than the typical "problem of the week", some character development would be nice. Raising the Bar - The second season has been just as if not more riveting than the first. I never thought I would love a courtroom drama but this has truly won me over. Merlin and Weeds are being purposely backlogged cus I like to watch Weeds in bulk. Burn Notice - Just more of the same awesomeness, but im not sure about Mike's new antagonist. Moon Bloodgood is hot and all but they need to explain her motives before I lose interest.

Mah Life: aka "The one where i lost my cookie"...

It's been a while, how's everyone been? (Rhetorical, lol, jk) Its literally hotter than devil's balls right now, please don't ask how I know how hot the Devil's balls are, I was confused, he had pie, things happened... lets move on. Soooooo, the gf and I are done; I guess she is the "xgf" now, but that sounds like a car or somethin. We broke up or I should say she broke up with me about three weeks ago, for reasons Im still unsure of. That's the primary reason I hadn't been posting, the irony of the situation especially after I posted that last blog was a little too much. Since I started writing blogs on this site Ive talked about everything in my life and I didn't want to stop now so I refrained from writing a new entry cus I didn't feel like talking about it. From what I can understand we broke up cus people (neither of which was us) thought I have far too many close relationships with women who aren't her. That's odd to me cus my friends or my interactions with them haven't changed since college when we met. I really thought she was above the jealously thing, especially since, at least in my view of things, I hadn't given her any reason to be doubtful of me. Shame of it is that she let other people's opinions affect our relationship and that it came outta no where. Anyhoo, the bottom line is that im not gonna apologize for having female friends. The only thing I regret is that I spent time dealing with that nonsense instead of participating in the Breast Cancer walk which was something that had meaning and I was looking forward to. Whatev though, im over it and we have talked a few times but I haven't quite gotten used to being single. Not seeing anyone cus I don't feel like dealing with the drama just yet. Geez, I just rambled like a little beeyatch. In other news, I've been drawing... a lot! Gonna post some stuff next entry. Oh and besides the obvious sexual innuendo, the title is about mechanical bull riding, after watching 5 people try and fail I refuse to try it... ever! Besides, even if I were good at it, that's not something im sure I'd want to brag about. That'll be all for now...
