Twitter and Scientology.

I've just jumped on this strange and unusual Twitter bandwagon. I imagine it's similar to when I switched from ICQ to MSN and I told my friends, that MSN woud never take off since ICQ is obviously superior... I imagine in one year from now I'll say what was that book of face we used to use. Oh technology, I don't understand you but you own me.

I randomly stumbled upon this website today and I do believe that my favorite article was The Top 10 Secret Celebrity Scientologists. Although I must admit I knew all of them but two... However I won't spoil it, you should check it out yourself. I wonder if Scientology is like Twitter and although right now it feels wrong in a few years it might be the norm.

I love that song

By now everyone and their grandma has least tried to play one song from RockBand or Guitar Hero. Both of theses titles are rhythm music games which happen to have awesome soundtracks. But the grandfather of modern rhythm based games is the unforgettable Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!











My love of old games leads me to finding this new video:


Man that tune sounds good even after 20 years. Game is out May 18th

THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF YEAR!!

This post is for all of you who mark it on calender, who believe that work should be cancelled and school should be on a small hiatus to sit on the couch and enjoy the best amateur athletic event of the world!! THE NCAA TOURNAMENT IS UPON US!!!

For all of you who don't care, well screw you and the carriage full of books you rode in on!!

because this is awesomeness at its APEX!!

There will be great wins, predictable wins and great failures! like this guy!

I bet you that this guy wishes he had a TV rather then a computer during this time as well since he doesn't seem to busy!!

Anyhow, get your butt in your favourite chair, forget about your gf or bf until Monday and relax and enjoy the competition!

on a side note, how awesome is it that this cop is just playing solitaire in his car, what a life portable fun and carry a gun!!!!

well til next time, keep your hand off the remote and your cell phone turned off cause its game time!

Stupidity at Home

In my various internet travels I found this lovely little tidbit. Canadian Minister Gary Goodyear "won't confirm belief in evolution." Now this wouldn't brother me at all, except that he is the Minister of State for Science and Technology!!
A science minister that doesn't believe in the fundamentals of science. Are you fucking kidding me?












He then clarifies (after a shit-storm of bad press coverage) "of course" he believes in evolution, but he should not have to answer that question because "anybody asking a question about my religion is appropriate.”
I'm sorry I can't ask my Science Minister what he believes is scientifically relevant? We need to know these things to maintain bias-free science in our country. Other countries are not so lucky.
















How does Canada, one of the top countries in the world in science, have a Science Minister that is a chiropractor (albeit a very successful chiropractor) while the US has a Secretary of Energy who won the Nobel prize in physics? This guy's particular beliefs don't bother me, what bothers me is that we have many competent scientists in the Canada who are more qualified to serve than this guy. We should expect our government to appoint qualified individuals.

The Beans Don't Burn on the Grill

Previously (possibly on another blog) I wrote about my excitement for the movie Funny People, which I might have called my most anticipated movie of 2009. In case you haven't realized it yet, I exaggerate all the time. And if we're not dear friends you probably didn't know about my tendancy to exaggerate in the same way you are not aware of my ridiculous love for Dave Eggers. The man could make greatness out of coat hangers -- this is not an exaggeration, I'm pretty sure he could write a magical story about coat hangers. It would undoubtedly leave me breathless and inspired and then just as I was recovering from the brilliance of his written word he would create some kind of charity for people in third world countries who don't have coats...or hangers.... or food. Seriously the man is unbelievable... and he just directed a forty minute short with James Franco. Seriously, unbelievable this man is.
Anyhoo, enough of a rant, where I'm going is that Dave Eggers wrote (or helped write) the screenplay for Where The Wild Things Are, which might be my most anticipated movie of 2009. Spike Jonze directed it, Catherine Keener, Paul Dano, Catherine O'Hara are all in it, it's going to be glorious and after a few rumors that they had to re cut the whole thing, we finally have a trailer. Of course it's not a trailer that we can see right at this moment but at least the promise of a trailer that someday we will watch. Thus, I change my most anticipated movie of 2009 to Where The Wild Things Are.... at least until tomorrow. Or at least until the trailer comes out for This Side of the Truth.

Sidenote: I do believe in this blog I compensated for my tendancy to exaggerate by over linking to everything. I apolagize. I just really like giving you links. Like this one.

Basketball Homerism

The boys from must be congratulated. The Timmins High Blues Senior boys basketball team(ranked 11th of 16 teams) began their quest to towards the OFSAA "AA" championship this week, with a win over the #2 ranked Westminster S.S. (London) . With Two additions wins yesterday, they made it the semifinals thus guaranteeing this year's team a medal. They played this morning against #3 St. Thomas Aquinas (Oakville) and unfortunately lost. They play tonight at the TH gym in front of what is assured to be a ruckus crowd. For all those who want to see the bronze medal game and cannot be there in person the game is being shown via webcast. GO BLUES!

Getting crazy on this here interweb!

Okay you guys, I know you're flipping sick of Kitty Cams or Carly-washing-the-dishes Cams. I've got just the thing for you: SCC CAM!

That's right friends, you can now watch Supreme Court hearings on the INTERNET. That shit's bananas! I don't know if justice is as cute as a Shiba Inu puppy, but what I'm saying is: SHE'S AS CUTE AS A SHIBA INU PUPPY.

Watch it - it's like Law and Order, only with more robes and less awesome.

Music that makes you dumb

A Cal Tech grad student did an study correlating SAT score vs musical preferences.
I am aware SAT tests are not an accurate representation of intelligence and this study obviously isn't very scientific, but its kinda interesting to see where the bands/styles are located.

As a Pink Floyd, Radiohead and Zeppelin fan I'm represented fairly well. (That's not to say I don't listen to Weezy and Luda. I just listent to more classic rock)
Where are your musical preferences? Does it correlate well with your intelligence?

Sorry for the delay!

Sorry about the delay folks Ive been a busy student, as well as travelling home to the great white north to visit family and I am back, to give you this amazing video!

where I have no idea what they are saying, but I bet its along the lines of something sexual and inappropriate and he is probably sleeping with her but she doesn't want anyone to know!!

Further, I would like to comment on babies. Yes, babies, I'm pretty sure babies have the best life in the entire world, you get to do what you want when you want, you get to sleep 18 hours a day, get meals from boobs, and don't even have to get up to take a crap!! It's like my life long dream!! If only i could win a massive amount of money and hire some like this to be the person takes care of me! I say this because I am a new uncle to a baby boy I have just met recently and was completely amazed at how much of a great life being a kid must be!

On a final note, does the hockey trade deadline really have to take over my 24 hour a day sports channel to tell me who gets traded in a sport which I don't really care that much about? Why not just leave it to the little feeder line at the bottom for the day so I can watch my sports highlights on a continuous feed over and over again like I do everyday!

Well, til next time ladies and gentlemen, and keep it trashy Canada cause that's where the funniest things in life are!

Hilarity Ensues.

Today at work, my lovely girl Anna sent me this video. I laughed so hard, I almost fell off the chair.
I think everyone in the world has seen this but if you haven't, enjoy.
