NEVER TRUST A CORPSE!!!

I came across this trailer while browsing the other day. I think this looks great! I am going to On Demand it when it comes out and I will be posting a review. You can see the trailer here. Check it out!

It's the End of the World As We Know It...

Disclaimer: Sorry for all of you racist crazies out there, this is not a blog about our black president. This is a much deeper threat. Something that terrifies my soul and chills my bones. No I am not talking about the economy, I have no fear of losing my job and North Korea is not near as terrifying as what I discovered this evening.

The news is this: Lauren Conrad, or LC to you Hills fans, has published a book. Grab the children and run for the hills (pun completely intended). Hell has frozen over and the world is slowly making its way into Purgatory. I repeat, Lauren Conrad has published a book. This knowledge begs me to ask the question; what the fuck is wrong with this world? How did the producers of this show get these non-celebs to brainwash half of America?

Do you want to know what the greatest part of this story is? We have all read, watched or heard this book before. Because the book is exactly the same as every episodes of the Hills. Here is what the publisher has to say:

Los Angeles is all about the sweet life: hot clubs, cute guys, designer . . . everything. Nineteen-year-old Jane Roberts can't wait to start living it up. She may be in L.A. for an internship, but Jane plans to play as hard as she works, and has enlisted her BFF Scarlett to join in the fun.

When Jane and Scarlett are approached by a producer who wants them to be on his new series, a "reality version of Sex and the City," they can hardly believe their luck. Their own show? Yes, please!

Soon Jane is TV's hottest star. Fame brings more than she ever imagined possible for a girl from Santa Barbara -- free designer clothes, the choicest tables at the most exclusive clubs, invites to Hollywood premieres -- and she's lapping up the VIP treatment with her eclectic entourage of new pals. But those same friends who are always up for a wild night are also out for a piece of Jane's spotlight.

In a city filled with people chasing after their dreams, it's not long before Jane wakes up to the reality that everyone wants something from her, and nothing is what it seems to be.

L.A. Candy is a deliciously entertaining novel about what it's like to come of age in Hollywood while starring in a reality TV show, written by a girl who has experienced it all firsthand: Lauren Conrad.

Uhhhh... so basically, like the producers of the show just like, took the show and like made a book about it and like changed the names, and then they like just put LC's name on the book, so like people would like buy it and stuff.

Holy Fucking SHIT! Are you serious right now? Please Lauren, share with America how hard the last few years have been for you. Please tell us how difficult it was to read a script (oops I said the forbidden "s" word! I am doomed now!) and "pretend" to be spoiled, snotty and stupid (more "s" words!). In an interview with Barnes&Noble.com, Lauren said it is important to "write what you know". So what exactly do you know? How to sign you name to a book deal that was already written for you? You know what's even better news? This is just book one in a series! Woo-hoo! Can anyone say 4 horseman of the Apocalypse?

So here she is mom's. Your daughter's new role model (not only is she hot, but she can read and write too!) and your sexual suppressed husbands new fantasy.

Are we like going to the book signing?

President Barack Obama

Nov. 4th, 2008. 10pm. Today I watched history. Today this country elected the first African American into the White House. Fifty years from now, I get to tell my grandchildren "I was there when...". But now its over, the love affair with the race card needs to end. Here is the most important thing: we elected someone who promises change and hope. Let's make it happen; let's free this country from the stifling confusion and uncertainty we have lived in for the last 8 years. Let's hope, that his hope rings true.

Congratulations Mr. President.

OSU VS. TEXAS

Hello there blogging world. It's been a while since I have been on. I have had a lot of things going on in my life lately, so I haven't had the time nor the desire to blog. Well I have my desire back.

So today I would like to talk about the showdown for the #1 Idiot Head Coach in the Big 12.

Candidate # 1, Mack Brown:

Now as all of you know, Mack Brown is the defending title holder of the Big 12 Idiot Head Coach of the Year award. Mack has diligently defended his title for six years in a row now. He has consistently put away the competition. His persistence has impressed me, especially last year when he felt some pressure late in the year from Dennis Franchione and Bill Callahan. Luckily both of those coaches are gone and it looked like Mack may have had an easy rode to his 7th straight title.

Unfortunately for Mack there was a huge shake-up in the polls today and it looks like he is in great jeopardy of losing his prolific crown. This leads us to our second candidate: Mike Gundy.

Mike Gundy, who finished 4th in last year's contest with his "I'm a man" tirade, looks to dethrone the dim-witted Brown. Gundy earned major accolades in this evenings game against Texas. The major accumulation of these points came late in the the game. Oklahoma State was down 28-24 and they had just recovered a Texas fumble around their own 15 yard line. There was a little over 4 minutes left in the game and OSU had all 3 timeouts left. Mike Gundy, who doubles as Head Coach and Offensive Coordinator, ran the first two plays of the drive for significant gains. Kendall Hunter had been explosive all day running for 161 yards on the day. After the second run, Mack Brown threw his trusty idiot stick across the field and smacked Mike across the face. Gundy decided to go away from the offensive scheme that had been working all day (over 200 yards rushing) and thought it was a good idea to throw the ball twice, for no gain and a turnover on downs. Good job!

So apparently Gundy's plan was to have his team bust their asses all game, only to step in at the end, with his "man" pants on and destroy his teams chance at winning.

So congratulations Mike, you win this week's Big 12 Idiot Head Coach of the Week award and you have taken a monster lead in the race for the yearly award. I am sure T. Boone Pickens is proud.

Michael Phelps is #1

Another banner day for Michael Phelps. He showed up tied for #1 all-time career gold medals. He walked out #1 all by himself.

Things started off in Phelps' top event the 200m Butterfly. This race was actually a lot closer than most people would have thought. We later found out that Phelps had a crack in his goggles and it caused them to continuously fill with water. (Hence the irritated toss of goggles and head gear at the end of the race) Phelps did not finish the race in the time he had hoped for, but he still broke the world record and still won gold.

Later in the morning (or evening, depending where you are) Phelps swam the lead leg in the 4x200m free relay. He gave his team a tremendous lead, almost a full body length. By the time the third leg started, the US team was almost a full two body lengths ahead. They crushed the old WR by 5 seconds. They became the first team to ever finish under 7 mins.

Phelps now has 11 career golds. Five golds in this Olympics. He has 3 more events to break Mark Spitz record of 7 golds in an individual Olympic. And he is winning his events in a Spitz like fashion.

5 events. 5 gold medals. 5 world records.

Should be an exciting week. Congratulation Michael.

Day 3 is AMAZING!!!

If you missed any of the pool action for day 3 of the 2008 Olympics games, you missed some of the best swimming in history.

To start things off, there was some really good swimming on the women's side. Christine Magnusson had a strong showing in the 100m butterfly snagging Silver in her first Olympics. Not longer after that Katie Hoff had a great race in the 400m Free. Hoff lead nearly the entire race, only to lose by 7 one-hundredths of a second. She grabbed the silver, but lost her grip on the gold by a fingertip.

Then later in the evening, we had the real fireworks! The men's 4x100m Free Relay!

All day long the French team had been talking smack. All day long they said they were going to "smash" Michael Phelps and the Americans. Well the French team did break the world record. They were one of 5 teams that broke the world record in this race. But the team that broke that record by the most?

You guessed it. Good ole' American boys "smashed" everyone and every record. The destroyed the old record by nearly 4 seconds. This race, which had 5 WR breaking runs, was probably the greatest relay race of all time. If you didn't see it, find someone who DVR'd it, rush to their home and immediately watch it.

Michael Phelps was the highlighter for this race, winning his 2nd Gold in these Olympics. He is still locked in and on pace to break Mark Spitz record of 7 Gold's in one Olympic. As great as Phelps is and was in this race, he wasn't the key for this team.

Jason Lezak, the oldest man on the swimming team, anchored this race and swam the fastest 100m split in history. The amazing thing is that the French were actually ahead by nearly half a body length in the last 50m. But Lezak finished his historic leg of 46.06 to beat France's Alain Bernard by a hand giving the U.S. a win by 8 one-hundredths of second. Lezak's teammates reactions is exactly the same as the reaction in my house, and hopefully millions of others.

After this day the U.S. is on top of the total medal standings with 11. We are behind in the total Gold's though. I think after seeing this though, there is no question that with swimming alone we are going to make major leaps on medal podium. Phelps, 200m, Monday night. Watch it, or you will hate yourself!

2008 Olympics

It's that time again. The Olympics are here. I tell you, I don't know how anyone cannot love the Olympics. It's just such a beautiful event when all that matters is peace, unity, winning, countries coming together, strangers becoming friends and well winning!

What I really love is that its the time when we get to see all those obscure sports that no one ever talks about except on an Olympic year. I love the talk that has been going on about this year's men's basketball team. All the talk about how they are going to win it all this year. No embarrassments like last time. You know what I have to say about that? WHO CARES!!!

Why would anyone give a damn about basketball when we have sports like swimming, gymnastics, track and field, volleyball and water polo. That's right Kobe I said gymnastics is more important than your sport. I mean come on people, this is when it really matters. This is a representation to the whole world. Who didn't cry in 96' when Kerri Strug landed that vault. I know I did.

I personally can't wait to watch gymnastics. I think we have a good chance this year. I can't wait to see Michael Phelps destroy every record again. I can't wait to watch Tyson Gay sprint to victory. Hell, I even watched a Cuba vs Norway volleyball match today just because it was on.

I love the Olympics!!!!! More to come!
