Dark Knight/Batman Trailer

Thanks to College Humor...these trailers are posted with the tagline "Why so similar?"

Babe of the Week...Revived!

This hasn't been done in a while. I guess everyone turned into a monk over the last couple of months. But since I just saw Harold and Kumar: Escape from Guantanamo Bay and this girl was a super hottie in it, I present you with Danneel Harris, my pick for the Babe of the Week.

Movies!!!

So, I haven't done a movie review on here in a while...hell, I haven't done anything on here in a while...and this day will be no different. I want to do a review, but I don't have time at this moment.

But I will tell you this, Harold and Kumar: Escape from Guantanamo Bay is fucking amazingly hysterical...like gut-busting funny. Niel Patrick Harris trips on shrooms and awesomeness ensues. I was super high watching it, so naturally I forgot some of the first half jokes. I really want to see it again for sure. Everyone who likes to laugh and doesn't have a stick up their ass should see this movie.

Also, Forgetting Sarah Marshall is another amazing movie by Judd Apatow. That man is a genius, even if he didn't even write it. I want to see that one again too and I would recommend it to everyone. Cottonmouth, he shows his penis.

Forbidden Kingdom's story was forgettable, but the fight scene between Jackie Chan and Jet Li is fucking amazing. I say pass on this one until its out on DVD.

I'll probably do a full review of Ironman when it comes out next weekend, but until then I'll leave you with this blurb from rottentomatoes.com: As for Superman, the big news this week was that one of the Legendary Pictures bigwigs used the phrase, "angry god" to describe the approach for the second film...AWESOME!

I'm so excited!!!

My life is going bye-bye in a couple of days after I read this. Grand Theft Auto IV looks to be one of the best games I will ever play and I can't wait. It comes out at midnight on Monday (technically Tuesday, for all you assholes who care about semantics) and I'm sure as hell picking up my copy at that point. I wish my finals week was last week so I didn't have to worry about anything but playing that game. The wait has been too long. I need my fix, just inject it straight into my veins!

The Weekly WYR

That's right. I apologize for my lengthy absence, and a thank you to Cottonmouth for covering last week. I may be a little rusty when it comes to these but what better way to spend my lunch hour than answering those questions that boggle and intrigue the mind!

Would you rather...

Age backwards or relieve the same day all your life?

I can't imagine living the same day over and over, circa Groundhog's Day, but, at 22 years young, I cannot imagine only living 22 more years. Also, by aging backwards, I only have one more year possible before I would no longer be able to legally drink!! That we simply cannot allow.

Walk on water or breathe under it?

Well, if I could breathe under water I would obviously never drown and, Kiznox what I am going to say is not intended to be sacreligious, I would much rather walk over water so that I could get to places much faster. How cool would it be to just camp out right on the water? Take a trip across Lake Michigan or one of the Oceans without having to swim? Yeah, let's do that.

Sit next to an unshowered hobo or a Mormon missionary on a cross country flight?

I have a feeling that the smell would never diminish but I could just as easily tell the Mormon to shut the hell up. Just for shits and giggles, if he does happen to continue to talk, I'll just get drunk and pass out. Mormons have no problem with drinking right? :)

Have both of your hands cut off at once or have one finger cut off every month until they are gone?

That's actually a tough one and, from an HR prospective, I could get a lot of money on my "Accidental Death or Dismemberment" benefit. For that reason, I say that if I lose them both I would get reimbursed by my employer and would be eligible for disability as well. Another drain on the system would be created and our economy would continue to lose money paying for someone else's problems. Would I like to lose even a part of one finger? No. For the purposes of this question, it is fiscally irresponsible for me to lose fingers or hands.

Put a dildo up your butt or a piece of floss down your pee hole?

I really don't want to do either. Neither of those seem very comfy and I'm going to ask for help from my fellow bloggers on this one. Which would you rather do? I'm hurting just thinking about it.

Have sex with the girl of your dreams knowing that there's a trained sniper aimed at the back of your head with orders to shoot the second you came or have sex with the girl of your dreams knowing you would spontaneously combust the second it was over?

Well this is indeed a very specific WYR question. As I was typing it in I was thinking to myself that I probably, given either scenario, knowing that my death is in the near future, may not be able to even concentrate while sexing her up. How can you get into it knowing that you are going to die? On the bright side, if there is one, the last feeling you experience on this Earth is, God willing, one of the best orgasms of your life! I guess you can't complain too much there.

Date Susanna Wolff or marry Susanna Wolff?

I will admit that I had to look her up to see who she is and she is a College Humor staff member. I would probably take her out on a date, not sure about marriage though. That's a little too quick off the draw.

Despair

It's a little scary right now for me. I don't know what happened to me. I'm anxious, upset, hopeless, for no reason. Even the smallest tasks seem almost impossibly overwhelming. it's just not me. I'm not usually the guy who has trouble making friends and meeting people. Even when I'm with my friends I don't really feel any sense of satisfaction. I just don't know where I'm goin, what I'm doing, it's frightening. I just want to meet a guy, and settle down. That sounds so ridiculous I'm fucking 22, and god knows young gays are not the type for commitment normally. I've just got all the downsides of adult life (bills, insurance, responsibility, assumed maturity) with none of the perks (love, success, family). And I've just kinda realized that it doesn't really matter where I am, it's always gonna be the same until I change my outlook.

I'm sorry to moan again on here, but I just needed to vent a little.

much love everyone

Lollapalooza anyone?

One of my classmates informed me today that Nine Inch Nails, Radiohead, and Rage Against the Machine are going to be headlining Lollapalooza this year! Please tell me someone wants to go to this?! I would love to go because I've never been to Chicago and the lineup is (to me at least) better than Rothbury's (sorry, 311). Bonnaroo also has a pretty solid lineup consisting of Metallica, Pearl Jam, and Umphrey's McGee, but I don't know if I can take the heat again. At least Chicago and Rothbury will have trees and water around. This is a tough decision. Right now Lollapalooza has my vote. Cottonmouth, you wanna go?

So I Figured It Out

Whenever I pick out a girl, she ends up being a loony. There's no middle ground, she's just nuts. Every girl I've slept with has been nutty (except for your sister, Cottonmouth...yes!), but I don't even know how to explain this one. She is everything I want and everything I hate. Fuck. Why can't this work out for me once? Just once. Is that so much to ask for?

Disconnect...

That is how I feel. I feel completely disconnected at the moment. I am angry, resentful, spiteful, pissed on, and not in any way happy at the moment. Completely directing it at the wrong people...but totally not actually giving it to them like they should be getting it. I can become so frustrated sometimes. I feel like it is a flaw because I WANT to be so effing chill all the time...it just is nearly impossible for that to happen.

Cant wait to move.

Suck My Cock...

You hear me, worldly dick suckers? That is the call I put out to you...the neverending-set-your-watch-by-it "Fellatio in the Springtime" Call.

The loins are steaming. Who would like my load?

Dont We All Miss My Rage Against Religion?

And this one could stem into an interesting debate on the "who" actually did the fucking in the rape of the Native Americans. The "who" could be something bigger than the pilgrims. Hell, it could be the Catholics.

Excerpt from Hegel’s Lectures on the History of Philosophy concerning the rules Catholic missionaries established for the education and civilization of Indians:

I even recall one missionary used to ring a bell at midnight to remind the [Indians] to perform their marital duties. Because it would have never occurred to them to do so.

So then, the question becomes; What the hell is wrong with missionaries. All jokes aside, where does this train of thought come in to play? Do you really think that a group of people would need a reminder to fuck? Wouldn't said group's existence alone be enough to prove that they do, indeed, fuck...?

Cyanide and Happiness

Since College Humor ROCKS

I did this once before but I figured I would do it again for those who may have forgotten just how idiotic people can be. Below you will see a combination of quotes from College Humor's "Stupid Questions Hall of Fame" so far in 2008. I always get a kick out of some of the questions but a lot of times out of the professor's response. I have separated them into these two categories. Enjoy!!

Best Teacher Responses

The professor was talking about equilateral triangles...
Genius: So what's it called if there are more than 3 equal sides?
Professor: A square.

Professor: One of the oldest human type skeletons ever found is Lucy (showing picture of skeleton).
Future Trophy Wife: How did they know her name was Lucy?
Professor: They found her driver's license.

Professor: Your test will consist of 85 questions but only 75 will count for a total of 150 points.
Girl: Will it say on the test which questions will cost?
Professor: Really?

On the first day of class...
Scholar: You include "2:30-3:20, Mondays and Wednesdays" on the top of the syllabus. Are those your office hours?
Professor: Those are the class times. That's now. We're in class.

Professor: So does anyone know anything about the Guatemlan Civil War?
Valedictorian: Um...yeah. Wasn't that the one in Mexico?
Professor: Um...no. A civil war would be one inside of a country...by definition...

Dumbest Student Responses

While looking over the syllabus and noting that we have off MLK Jr. Day...
The Brilliance: What is milk day and why do we have it off?

Professor: And which party is President Bush a member of?
Valedictorian: He's a Democrat right? I mean, we live in a democracy, so he's gotta be a Democrat.

Professor: How do you think Abraham Lincoln was elected even though abolition wasn't the most popular idea of the time?
The Brilliance: Well, obviously all those slaves voted for him, right?

Professor: After the President dropped two atomic bombs into Japan, on the cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, Japan finally surrendered to the United States.
The Brilliance: Wait...we won World War II?

20 minutes into a test where a scantron was passed out with the tests...
Valedictorian: Does anyone have an extra scantron?
Confounded Professor: You need another?
Valedictorian: I didn't know we were supposed to bring one.
Professor: They were passed out with the test!

Professor: So when calculating inventory turnover you use either 12 months or 52 weeks.
Einstein: Wait, there's only 48 weeks in a year.
Professor: Umm...let's just use 52 weeks...
Einstein: But that's wrong! There's 12 months in a year and 4 weeks in a month so that makes 48.

Since Rambo SUCKS

Your Weekly WYR


Be God, or Zordon?
Uh... Zordon hands down. God has too much responsibility. I just want to be the overlord of superheroes with crazy robotic battle machines (for those of you who don't remember, Zordon created the power rangers)

Have a 20 minute orgasm every month, or have Keira Knightley hand-feed you Cool Ranch Doritos on command?
Seriously? Uh... 20 min orgasm. Even if you switched keira with my good friend Jake Gyllenhaal... I think I'd still rather have the 20 min orgasm haha.

Always have peanut butter in your mouth when you tried to talk, or dust in your eye whenever you tried to look at something? PB in your mouth. Dust in your eye is not an annoyance, it is excruciatingly painful.

Only watch the NIT, or only watch the girls tournament?
NIT. Sweaty boys

Go out with a girl knowing she blew the whole football team, or go out with a girl NOT knowing she blew the whole football team?
Again, I switch over to go out with a boy who did the same. I think I'd rather not know. And never find out. And never get any of their diseases

Have all 150 Pokemon at your disposal, or have the force from Star Wars?
Pokemon, no question. I'm OCD, that gives me so many more fun options

Make a really good prank call, or have a mediocre hookup?
Good prank call... I get plenty of GOOD hookups, I don't need a mediocre one

I just dont get it...

totally...its as if there is no explanation for women.

What would this mean?

What would this truly entail?

Why always back to you?

Work Sucks...

So I'm at work. I have no other responsibilities for the rest of the show. But I'm not allowed to go home. Why? Who fuckin knows. So I'm just gonna be chilling here for the next 45 mins or so doing nothing. I'm SO pumped for South Park tonight, because Erek is supposed to come over (and maybe spend the night ;) ) and I actually have bud. I got some from Kristin who told me that Ben is still being a little bitch about me. But he wrote me a text saying I'm allowed to go over to his place again, so the period of not speaking is over (whatever, at least now he doesn't have to be so awkward about it). Although he was not happy that I called him "bud" in my text message back. So I guess we can be friends, I just can't make it too obvious that that's ALL we are. But anyway. I should really get back on headset. PEACE OUT YO

Of Course...

Since HD-DVD is now officially dead and the external add-on for the Xbox 360 is now obsolete, Microsoft has to jump on the Blu-ray ship. Taken from ign.com, "...the Taiwan-based company Lite-On is currently in development of an internal Blu-ray drive for the Xbox 360 game console...shipments of the drive will begin in the second half of 2008 along with the 'next-generation of Xbox 360 game consoles,' fueling speculation that a console more powerful than Xbox 360's currently high-end model, the Elite, could be on the way as early as this holiday."

If they come out with a new console, I might just have to buy it, especially if it has Blu-ray internally.

I Want to See Muse Live!

Someone needs to find a show (I'm looking at you, Cottonmouth) that's not super far away, because this clip just shows how much they rock live

This is from their live CD/DVD called H.A.A.R.P. I might buy it shortly, because it probably rocks.

For Those Of You Sans OCD

www.southparkstudios.com

the south park site now has every episode streaming online. Every season. even the new ones. I'll still collect DVDs, but that's just because I started so I can't stop...

hence the OCD

What the fuck is wrong with women?

Why are women the most confusing beings on this planet? I can't figure a damn thing out with them.

So...

I met a boy. :) Nothing serious, but he is seriously GREAT. So chill, very fun to hang out with, pothead, really good looking, basically the whole package. So yeah this is a good distraction from what's going on in life haha. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

UPDATE: Um... so yeah, new information: his body is fuckin SMOKING hot... just sayin... ;)

Sorry I'm gaying it up on here again, but you know, I'm just excited

Correction!

The Challenger SRT-8 does come with an optional manual. Rock on...now only if I had $40,000 lying around.

So 105% is always hilarious, but this tidbit got an extra chuckle from me:

Awesome tramp stamp idea for a homosexual gentleman: "Members Only."

Incentive Program

So for resigning at my apartment for next year I was entered in a lottery to win prizes. I was expecting gift certificates and other stupid crap. But what did I win? brand new light fixtures for my apt to be installed tomorrow!

This is fuckin awesome because my light fixtures are ugly and have paint all over them from a sloppy recoat job. Jess even said that was her number one complaint about the place. With the obvious exception of the whole being able to hear a pin drop in my neighbor's apartment thing. But seriously - what a great idea. It makes your residents happy, and it means when other apts light fixtures break, you have one less to replace.

Of course this means I have to clean like mad tonight because I still really haven't done that since you slobs came to visit a few weeks ago. but that's ok, it'll be good to get rid of some of the chaos in my life

Bisco '08

So... Bisco's gonna have to step it up a little if they want me to sign on, but a few acts I'm excited about

Disco Biscuits (haha... surprise surprise)
DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist
Younger Brother (which consists of the DJs Prometheus and Hallucinogen)
Eliot Lipp
Amplive

there are some others that are cool, but I don't know them as well... Orchard Lounge, Tea Leaf Green, the New Deal, !!!, MSTRKRFT, 2020 Soundsystem

now to the layman, this is not that exciting of a lineup. But Umphreys and STS9 have not signed up for anything in July (well sts9 has rothbury, but that's it). Nor has Bassnectar. and if Prometheus did his own set I'd crap myself (what we listened to while tripping in Florida).

So I'm just watching and waiting for some artist additions... The other thing (sad).

I might not be able to go to Rothbury.

AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! I know. It's awful. My parents want me to be in England for my cousins' party, which would be fun, but it would also kinda kill me if I couldn't go to rothbury. But if Bisco's lineup improves, I might be able to justify it better, because bisco's also about 100 dollars cheaper than Rothbury.

AHHHH SO MANY THINGS I HAVE TO THINK ABOUT.

I'm gonna go sleep for a bit

Finally Dodge Does Something Right

Unveiled a couple of days ago at the New York Auto Show, Dodge announced 2 new versions of the Challenger!!! A basic SE with a V6, which will compete with the V6 Ford Mustang and probably a V6 version of the new Camaro coming out soon. The next model is the legendary R/T, with the 5.7L Hemi V8 with an increased horsepower rating of 375! That should blow away the Mustang GT and V8 Camaro. The best part...they finally are including a manual transmission! I hope this is a step in the right direction where our dumbass American automakers will start putting manuals back into cars. Starting at around $20,000, these Challengers should be a great alternative to the SRT-8 model that is valued at $40,000, which by the way has no manual transmission...how lame. Thank you, Dodge, for finally bringing out versions of these cars that I might actually be able to afford.

Alternative Eye Candy of the Day

AT LAST!!! the triumphant return of HOT half naked men.

brought to you by Jesse Metcalfe, a.k.a. John Tucker must get in my pants

You have 10 minutes left to sleep,

Hock, before I wake you up/check to see if you are already awake. Hopefully you were able to get some rest after staying up all night working on that project.

So yeah, it has been a fairly interesting night. I layed down to take a nap last night around 530p, fully expecting to wake up around 7p. What time did I wake up? 3am. 3 in the fucking AM. SHIT! That was one hell of a guilty pleasure. Why the guilt? Well, I am pretty sure that I locked the apartment before I decided to hop in the 'ole haystack and fuck the sleep fairy.

I FEEL AWFUL. SORRY ABOUT THAT.

3 AM. Hock was still up working on some crazy project of his so I talked to him for a little bit. He needs to be up around now, so I am going to go check on that and then come back for a bit more writing....oh the places you'll go.

Prior to that ridiculous napsleep I watched a couple movies. First was this amazing flick called Fallen with Denzel Washington and Jon MuthaFuckin' Goodman. It was very Stephen King-esque and would not be surprised if it actually was a King novel. Anywho, this movie promted the beginning of aa comic or book or story that I am going to begin centering entirely on nuns. Don't fret, Catholic community, I think nuns are sexy and are therefore going to do good. In a sexy way. So, perhaps fret a little if the whole "sexy nun" thing bothers you.

Then I got to see that Kevin Bacon movie Death Sentence. Yup, it was on demand and I decided to order the fuck out of it. I mean, who could pass up a Kevin Bacon movie where he loses his shit and kicks the hell out of bad guys? No one. You know why? Because Bacon has some sort of cosmic power over people. No idea where he got it, no idea how it works, but I am telling you that the guy has powers. I swear.

Currently I am listening to some of the coolest spanish music that I have ever heard. It makes me wish I understood any of what he is singing. Very melodic, that spanish. Aside from that, I have been internet window shopping for various furniture and shelving units for the new place. I cannot wait until I can afford some of these things. My bedroom is going to become so remarkable that I will have no idea what to do with myself.

I'm so gay for decorating.

"I need a fix cause Im goin down,
down to the pits that I left off town,
I need a fix cause Im goin down.

Mother Superior jumped the gun."

I think that I have really gotten used to working this crazy day shift. It means that I get like, no sleep during the work week, but I am managing to do it pretty well. (yeah, its a pun, sue me.)

Right-o. Im out.

well...

It's been 24 hours and I'm already breaking my detox... Goddammit I knew I should have thrown this bud away. So I'm cleaning up starting.... tomorrow
