Crazy Game Endings

I played a bball game tonight and we came back from a 10 points deficit in 1:45 min to force OT. OT was sudden death (weird rule, I know), but we pulled out the victory. I lost my voice screaming. Great time.

But that still isn't as good as this high school game which has one kid score 11 points in only 46 seconds to win the game. I love crowd rushing the the floor at the end.

God of War III

This is why I own a PS3


It's Edu-tainment because I'm learning about Greek mythology. (caution violence above)

Finally a news organization agree that violent video games teaches kids valuable skills!


Are Violent Video Games Adequately Preparing Children For The Apocalypse?

Coco read????

I am just kidding, there are numerous things I wish I could have had when I was a budding high school student.

The Game by Neil Strauss, is an epic tail of men and their conquests over in the harsh world.... haha.... who I am kidding, its about how to pick up girls using this ridiculous techniques, but honestly its an awesome book, the guy in the book has some of the craziest stories ever including celebrities and just adventures that don't even seem like they could happen to a guy who looks like the writer actually does.

Bigger Faster Stronger, yes a movie, which dives into steroid abuse and names all sorts of people who have done it, it would have helped me tremendously to know that hulk hogan was taking steroids and that I could not be that big no matter how hard I tried, or that Governor Arnold juiced up and in turn became one of the most famous people ever through movies, Mr Universe and now as a Politician. Damn you steroids for making me want something I can't have.

The Wire, yes this show has given me an in depth look at crime from both sides, as well as new language skills which I could have used in my first year at university meeting people of all sorts of backgrounds. Being a northern Ontario kid does not prepare you for the urban language you learn at university and those first few times you just seem out of place!

The office, another TV show which I would have loved to have because of the humour I have learned from it, not just the THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!!! remarks, but the sarcasm, the hilarity of being a dark person like Creed or that being a slut (Meredith) is not just something I wasn't into in high school but now is HILARIOUS and so many more jokes could be had at their expense!!!

Lastly, I wish for a younger me to have read historical books on world history, Canadian history and war, because not only would it have made my first university degree a lot easier, but because it gives you a sense of the country, and why things are the way they are, and how they got there, because watching movies leaves out almost all of the coolest stuff for some reason.

I would love to have named more books, but I tend to forget the names of books I have read, and can only think of school texts which I am covered in right now and articles which lay across my bed and I use as insulation under my blankets, but I believe the things I did name would help a younger me become a funnier, smarter, and more well rounded person which would lead to my own version of THE GAME !!!

Response to the response

This is why it’s hard to be a scientist. I've read the many required textbooks classes and nothing that I have read in any of my chemistry classes can ever apply to my past self. Nothing. Regardless several titles I could have checked out earlier:

On the Genealogy of Morality by Nietzsche and Dostoevsky's Notes from the Underground (books)

- Helps understand and enjoy the weird things in life, just for the sake of being weird.

The Watchmen - Alan Moore (graphic novel)

- I don't know if my younger old self would appreciate the story, but it is the best comic book series I've ever read.

"Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television" - George Carlin (album)

- Classic comedy album that is still relevant today. "Those [words] are the ones that'll infect your soul, curve your spine and keep the country from winning the war."

It's Like Christmas but Even More Awesome.

This is the best news I've ever heard. Be still my heart.

You Know What I Love About Those High School Boys...

I’m starting to wonder if this blog should just be a permanent link to the Onion’s AV Club…Sadly, I’ve begun judging potential mates on how similar they are to this magical site. Basically someone who is ridiculously interesting, offers up new tidbits of wisdom, hilarity and delightful observations on a regular basis, and isn’t too pretentious.

In conclusion, I might be alone forever.

I really love the idea of suggesting books or music or films to high schoolers graduating from University, even though I’m quite sure I have the same maturity and intelligence of most high schoolers (and who are we kidding I still have a huge thing for high school boys… does that make me a pedophile? Or rather does that make me cool and only slightly creepy like Mathew Mcconaughey from Dazed and Confused?)

Anyhoo, if I could go back to awkward, chubby nineteen year old Kara as awkward, chubby twenty five year old Kara, I would tell her to read these books and see these films. These choices are quite lady geared so if you are a nineteen/eighteen year old boy who has stumbled across this blog, these might not be useful for you… but if you skateboard or have hair similar to Zac Efron please leave your phone number in the comments section.

Franny and Zooey (Book)
o The last four pages will be so so so important for all those crazy, unanswerable spiritual questions stirred up by those crazy years at bible camp.

Girls Guide to Fishing and Hunting (Book)
o This book will make you laugh and cry and leave you both hopeful and scared for the future. Proximity without Intimacy…ah awkward Kara, learn it.

Before Sunrise, Before Sunset (Film)
o These movies will make you realize you’re not alone, and that love and people and conversations and life are complicated and hypocritical and just plain awesome.

Harold and Maude (Film)
o Although I never was close to driving a Hearst off a cliff, I’m pretty sure I would have loved life more if I had seen this film a bit earlier on in life.

Yo blogging friends, you should do the same. Make some suggestions to high school Boots, Coco and Carly. Note: Carly your answer better not include Sweet Valley High.

Shark Tanks are Fire Hazards

Tracy Morgan's apartment fire was caused by his shark-tank.
FYI: This just makes me love him even more.

I had a pet tiger once, but he was kind of a bitch.

Where is the creativity or is everything Pre Scripted??

So as of late I have been questioning everything, I dunno if it's because of my State and Government class and the readings of people like Lemke and Foucault or I have just been noticing it now more then ever. Anyways, to the point but is everything in the world scripted? Shaq and Kobe recently made up at All Star Weekend from there so called feud that was supposedly made up for the last 4 1/2 years . Are you kidding me? who makes up a war between people in sports, I don't really see an advantage to it but to keep your name in the public's perspective and I really don't think Kobe needs to be a part of any controversy for the rest of his career thanks to that lady in Colorado.

"what does kobe bryant have for thanksgiving? a lil white meat on the side"

Anyhow, so here they are together again, friends joking around as if nothing has happened in the past years, as if Shaq didn't ask him how his ass tastes? And so this huge media affair occurs and bless them for putting this past them ya da ya da ya da.... But of course the pre scripted bull begins, they get CO-MVP honours for the All star game?? Come on, really? WOW this is more scripted then a WWE match! Do we have any sort of creativity anymore? come on, like you didn't have to just throw it in our faces that they are back together but you had to arrange it so they shared the MVP of the game as well? Damn you David Stern !!

Secondly, after my much long listening to Kanye West over his last few albums he has given me a different outlook on life;

Life is not like jerking off. Jerking off is philosophy. Your hand never turns you down, you’re never too ugly, too fat, or too Mexican. When you close your eyes, and reach down to pleasure your gender specific genitalia, you can picture yourself as the one you need to blow to get a drink around here. You’re not going to go blind, well, maybe for a minute or two if you get it in your eye. You’re never going to hurt anyone by doing it. Kanye West is different, Kanye sucks.

You see, after his latest album, and his attempt at singing which anyone can do these days thanks to this program I have become enamored by attempting to find where Kanye gets his beats since I knew before of his sampling technique. And where did I find this answer? A wonderful fan made up this YouTube video which links all his songs to the sample beat. Ahhhh millions of dollars made off of music that is not even yours, how I love our society and the ways we can use others successes to create more success except as we know the artists of today pump out an album every 8 months or so unless you are like Kiss, or Guns N Roses who take a notoriously long time but I am pretty sure they write and make up there own hits which will last for generations rather then being on the top 100 list for a few weeks.

On a side note, Roseanne is amazing for her comments on Chris Brown,

Any who, my rant is over like Alex Rodriguez's chance at the Hall of Fame!

I don't know what but Steve Irwin's daughter really irritates me. Does this make me a horrible person? Probably. It's like my hatred for Anne Hathaway, I can't pinpoint the hatred but it's quite deep rooted and seems to come from a noble place. Such a noble place that if I was to see either of them on the street I would kick them right in their too smiley, stupid faces.

Profiles in Trolling

I have comment on Khaf's last post post about Joaquin Phoenix.
That interview flows perfectly into a new series called: "PROFILES IN TROLLING"

















For the uninitiated, trolling is occurs when any person who purposely and intentionally attempts to cause disruption or controversy. A troll deliberately exploits tendencies of human nature to upset people. The people being trolled usually don't know they are being trolled.
Probably the best way to explain trolling is by showing examples.
Acting racist/sexist for laughs is considered trolling but simply being a racist/sexist is not.














This brings us back the interview. Joaquin Phoenix could be pulling off a very impressive troll, no one gets the joke except for himself. Or he simply could be crazy, that wouldn't be as entertaining.

What I Missed While Hanging Out With Naked Ladies Pt.2

I also was quite excited to come back to this hilarious clip of Joaquin Phoenix on Letterman. Is it a joke? Is it real? Anyone? Anyone? I don't really care either way, I'm just excited to hear this hip hop album he's working on. 

The other beautiful thing about the above clip is it's Letterman being old school vintage awesome Letterman. Thus in that vein I thought I would share this below classic and also a Crispin Glover video that needs to be watched immediately after watching the Letterman interview. It will hopefully make you laugh but also probably like me, throw up a bit in your mouth. 

What I Missed While Hanging Out With Old Naked Ladies

Seeing as I've been out of the pop culture loop for exactly nineteen days (two of which where spent in large baths with old naked ladies) I've spent the first three hours of 'family day' catching up. I began my morning (after coffee and a cigarette) reading all of my missed Entertainment Weeklies which I found in a beautiful stack on my kitchen counter. They seemed so lonely I could hear their little adorable magazine voices, "Please Kara take me in the bathroom and read me" ... so I did. I really missed North American toilets.  

The news I was most excited about in said Entertainment Weeklies was the fact that Demetri Martin's show Important Things with Demetri Martin is awesome and kicking ass.   I watched the entire episode this morning and it's brilliant. I always knew Demetri would do great things. Little known fact, I've seen him do stand up twice. And true story once was with my mom. She laughed so hard she almost fell off her chair. She was, of course, hammered. I think it still proves two things 1. Mr. Martin is hilarious and 2. While intoxicated my mother has poor balance. 

Dicks on the Dance Floor

In order to introduce myself as blogger #4, to this blog dedicated to the incoherent ramblings of a few northern Ontario Misfits I thought I would discuss two of my favorite subjects, Flight of the Conchords and Penises. I disagree a bit with the first video as I often feel like there aren't enough dicks on the dance floor. And the second video is quite wise as I was seriously considering prostitution. It might be my only chance at riches, blogging isn't paying as well as I had hoped.

Warm up your shotgun

'Cause Resident Evil is almost back!











Resident Evil 5 continues the long and successful series as it moves on too the newest generation of game consoles. As someone who as played the series since its inception way back in 1996, I'm incredibly pumped for this release. The current game focuses on the primary characters traveling to Africa trying to hunt down another source of "infected". Now some people have called the game racist because the trailer depicted the white protagonist in fending off black zombies. The previous game had me pumping lead into Spaniards. I didn't have a problem doing that because NEW FLASH if your a zombie I am shooting you in the face regardless of race, gender, or number of limbs. The fact is the whole game isn't even out and people complaining. How can you complain without playing the game? There are only trailers and a two level demo. I'll reserve judgment till after I've completed the release copy.

Speaking of the demo I recently downloaded the free demo to play on the PS3. Fantastic graphics. The RE series it has lost some of the survival horror game play and replaced it with a more action based strategy which works well since the game is two player co-op. Talking with someone via headset immerses the player and forces you not too just not worry about yourself but also our partner.

Blasting zombies with a friend. I think my march 13th is booked.

Fuck Land I'm on a BOAT!

Me and everyone else

Getting band geeks laid since 2009.

And, I want someone to do a critical race/gender analysis of the politics of a 9-month pregnant British woman of Sri Lankan descent performing with 4 of mainstream hip-hop's hottest male rappers. The intersectionality almost set my hair on fire!

Random Thoughts

So has anyone seen the Tough Guy Challenge, its a battle with a course involving running to a finish line over a muddy terrain filled with fire obstacles, slippery bridges, and wading through freezing cold waters and the water is so muddy you don't even want to get any in your mouth but somehow it doesn't seem so hard, no matter what I think if this man can make it through I believe I can get through I can at least feel cooler then I actually am right now
(On a side note no one died in the competition this year, which adds to my inspiration of wearing a mankini in public and not getting shot)

Secondly Japan is a crazy and for lack of a better word a FUCKED up place!! An example is shown here with this toy that was created!!

(My mind tends to wander though does it have back hair? who grows a muff like that? and ANKLE hair is that even possible??? Is this the offspring of Sabretooth(xmen one) and female Yeti? Science couldn't even show me how that works!!)

Lastly, TODAY IS FRIDAY PEOPLE!! And as your resident party goer/doer of irresponsible things it is time too

So have a great weekend and don't do anything I wouldn't do!

There can only be one

My Sunday afternoon has been booked

This be entertaining

We now interrupt your regularly scheduled program

So the Super was on last night. Great game, fantastic finish.
But if happened to be watching the game in Tucson, AZ, you might have had a different experience at the end of the game.

The underdog Cardinals made a furious comeback during the 4th quarter, capped off by a Larry Fitzgerald 64 yard touchdown with only 2:37 remaining in the game. The stage was set for a final Steelers drive to tie or win. Huge drama, everyone was watching at this exciting moment.

Just as Fitzgerald scored the go ahead score, the feed to the game abruptly changed to
30 seconds of a full frontal male nudity!!!!!
The timing of this "mistake" could not a have been worse (or better if you think this is kinda funny). Tyler Durdan would be proud.I say "mistake" because clearly it seems like it was planned. The timing of the game coupled with the length of the clip screams of premeditation from the perpetrator. Kudos to you sir for your epic prank that makes the Janet Jackson nip slip look like Dora the Explorer!

UPDATE: Pittsburgh went on to win the game helped this the insane Santonio Holmes TD catch.


People in Wisconsin apparently didn't get the memo
