As I struggled through mid-terms this week, I came across this little graph of procrastination. I don't know about everyone else, but graph is dead-on with me. It was good for a little chuckle.

School Graph
As I struggled through mid-terms this week, I came across this little graph of procrastination. I don't know about everyone else, but graph is dead-on with me. It was good for a little chuckle.
I'm So Trying This!
Someone sent me this sweet video of a guy doing a little experiment with music and flames. The video isn't the most exciting thing, but the concept of his little presentation is great. I'm going to do it, and then I'll videotape it and let y'all know how it went.

Chuck Norris: The Ultimate List Part V
· Chuck Norris owns the greatest poker face of all-time. It helped him win the 1983 world series of poker despite him holding just a joker, a 2 of clubs, a 7 of spades, and a green number 4 from Uno and a monopoly 'get out of jail free' card.
· Chuck Norris invented a language that incorporates karate and roundhouse kicks. So next time Chuck Norris is kicking your ass, don't be offended or hurt, he may be just trying to tell you he likes your hat.
· Chuck Norris invented water.
· One time while sparring with Wolverine, Chuck Norris accidentally lost his left testicle. You might be familiar with it to this very day by its technical term: Jupiter.
· Chuck Norris does not use spell check. If he happens to misspell a word,
· Some kids piss their name in the snow. Chuck Norris can piss his name into concrete.

Kate Mara - My New Favorite Actress
So someone asked me who I thought was the hottest actress right now, and I had a hard time coming up with an answer. Most people say Jessica Alba, or Jessica Simpson, or Kate Hudson, or Paris Hilton, but I think all those girls are stupid. I have a hard time thinking a girl is attractive when I can't get over how incredibly dumb they are. (I don't think Kate Hudson is that dumb; I kinda like her.)And I'm pretty sure most of the girls I say I like aren't that much brighter than Paris, but the ones I like are not well-known dummies, at least. I steer away from mainstream. I like unconventional. I like underground. I like ultra-new. I don't like trendy pop culture. I talk about it, but I definitely do not enjoy it as much as the indie, under-rated culture.
I ranted a little bit there; I'm sorry. Without further adieu, Kate Mara! My new favorite hottie actress.
Chuck Norris: The Ultimate List Part IV
· Chuck Norris drinks napalm to quell his heartburn.
· A duck's quack does not echo. Chuck Norris is solely responsible for this phenomenon. When asked why he will simply stare at you, grimly.
· Chuck Norris' roundhouse kick is so powerful, it can be seen from outer space by the naked eye.
· Chuck Norris doesn't believe in
· Chuck Norris has never blinked in his entire life. Never.
· Chuck Norris once shot an enemy plane down with his finger, by yelling, "Bang!"
· Chuck Norris doesn't need to swallow when eating food.

Chuck Norris: The Ultimate List Part III
· Chuck Norris used live ammunition during all shoot-outs. When a director once said he couldn't, he replied, "Of course I can, I'm Chuck Norris," and roundhouse kicked him in the face.
· If paper beats rock, rock beats scissors, and scissors beats paper, what beats all 3 at the same time? Answer: Chuck Norris.
· If you can see Chuck Norris, he can see you. If you can't see Chuck Norris, you may be only seconds away from death.
· Although it is not common knowledge, there are actually three sides to the Force: the light side, the dark side, and Chuck Norris.
· Scientists used to believe that diamond was the world's hardest substance. But then they met Chuck Norris, who gave them a roundhouse kick to the face so hard, and with so much heat and pressure, that the scientists turned into artificial Chuck Norris.
· When Chuck Norris was denied a Bacon McMuffin at McDonalds because it was 10:35, he roundhouse kicked the store so hard it became a KFC.
TK Brand
This is mostly for my friend TK, or "Trishelle." I think that might be the first time I've ever written her name out. I don't even know if I spelled her name right. But look TK: Someone made a brand out of you!
Get it?
I wake up at least once a week with this song playing in my head. And yes, I immediately consider shooting myself that day, too.
Atomic Bomb Explosion
This is the fourth and largest nuclear bomb test that took place in Licorne in 1970. Ironically, this test was done by the French Army. It is the effect of a 914 kiloton thermonuclear device. It looks pretty sweet, but it's scary to think that people are capable of such mass destruction.
Blue Steel Baby!
Oh yeah, that's right. Ben Stiller still has it. Stiller's famous role of Zoolander lives on off-the-screen.

This opening of the Emmy Awards is the best ever! Conan O'Brien is hilarious! I love how they put this sequence together. It is perfect!

Pepsi Commercial - Best Commercial Ever
This is the best commercial ever. Jimmy Fallon rocks! Music is by Newton- Streamline.
OSCAR time
I love the Oscars. They are so fun! This year the fashion was bland and boring, but the movies were good and rewarding. Here are some good articles to catch up on the action:
Hot Rod
This movie is so awkwardly funny. Andy Samberg does a great job playing the ridiculously weird stunt man, and "his crew" are a perfect match. I can watch the "punch dancing out my rage" scene over and over. If you need an awkward laugh, get this movie.

Bowling for Columbine
I watched Michael Moore's documentary on school shootings and guns last night. Every time I said Michael Moore's name, it was always followed by a remark about his liberal, fanatical views. Only my friend Jacob didn't say anything bad about him when I mentioned his movies. (He didn't say anything good either, but whatev.)
I thought this particular movie, Bowling for Columbine, was great. It was sensitive and never overly biased. Michael Moore never said anything directly about tighter gun control laws or that guns should be outlawed. He simply pointed out some major issues that result from guns in our country. He put a lot of important people in awkward positions, but he got results.
Charlton Heston, for example, looked horrible, and his ill-stated views about the right to bare arms were exploited by Moore. K-Mart on the other hand was surprisingly accommodating. Moore went out on limb (and a whim, it looked like) and took Columbine shot victim to a K-Mart convention. There he asked to speak with someone with authority to remove ammunition from K-Mart shelves. At first, K-Mart representatives pushed him aside, and did not give him, or the kids, the respect they deserved. Their proposal was very unorthodox, but not unreasonable. After a second trip to the convention (and this time with the media), K-Mart officially announced they would remove ammunition from their stores. Wow. Moore was even surprised.
What I really liked about the movie and Michael Moore was his honesty, good intentions and bipartisan experience. Moore was a member of NRA and had used guns his whole life, but he also could see the dangers and outcomes of gun usage in our country. This movie was a quest to find out why the people of the US are more violent with our guns than anyone else in the world. I know there are thousands of deaths all over the world from guns, especially at a time when we are at war with Iraq, but the deaths in the US I'm talking about are not war-related. They are domestic and completely unrelated to foreign influences.
I always thought poorly of Michael Moore because of others' opinions. But when I gave him a chance, I really enjoyed the movie and learned a lot. I laughed a lot throughout the movie. I loved the animation scene of the history of Americans and guns. But I still think Americans should have the right to have a gun. I think our education system should be improved and parents should pay closer attention to the entertainment influences that kids live their lives around. Gun problems will decrease when families are closer together, negative entertainment is minimized and education is improved.

Albino Moose!
I was on Flickr yesterday and saw this picture of an albino moose. It's way trippy (and creepy).

Michael Jordan's Advice for the NBA
Jordan, the greatest basketball player ever, was asked by ESPN what the NBA should do about their image problem. Jordan has a great answer.
Dexter's Superlative: Most Likable Serial Killer
My friend Tommy introduced me to a relatively new show called Dexter. It started on Showtime, but now it airs CBS on Sunday nights at 10PM. The show is slightly disturbing. It is about a blood specialist, CSI-type guy named Dexter.
Dexter works with good people in his division; and interestingly, with his adoptive sister. Dexter's adoptive dad was a police officer also, and he taught Dexter many, many things. Dexter was adopted at 3 by his police officer dad after he was found in a cargo container after 3 days of his mother's murder. Here's the sick part: His mother was chainsawed in the container Dexter sat in for 3 days. Dexter, as a 3 year old, sat in that container with 3 inches of his mother's blood. And consequently, Dexter is a raging serial killer that works as a police officer. But he only kills people that deserve it.
The best part of the show is that you'll really like Dexter and sympathize with him and his problems. I mean, this guy is a serial killer, but you can't blame him. It's crazy! The show is narrated by Dexter and as a result, can be pretty funny. But this crime-drama's at its best when Dexter has some pedophile hanging upside down trying to talk him out of cutting him while in the back of his mind, he is trying to figure out how to get out of the bigger messes he is getting into. It's brilliant.
(Note: This show is highly graphic. It is bloody and twisted. It will cause you to have some pretty weird and twisted dreams. There are some explicit sex scene, as well. Try watching the introduction to the show on Youtube or something, and see if it makes you squezzy or not. The introduction is a pretty good representation of what the show will kind of be like.)

Most Valuable College Football Teams
I found this Forbes article that went over the value of college footballs. I knew college football was profitable, but these numbers are amazing. Colleges make so much money from their teams. Football has to be the most revenue producing program at colleges.
Notre Dame is the most valuable at a value of $101 million and bringing in $45.8 million last season.
South Carolina was ranked like #13 or #14 with a total value of $69 million and $28.9 million from last season.
It is also interesting that 6 of the top 10 most valuable college football teams come from the SEC (Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, LSU, Georgia, and Auburn). Or you can say the SEC has 8 teams in the top 15 with South Carolina and Arkansas falling somewhere around #13 and #15.
