CH-CH-CH CHECK IT OUT!


---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Emeril opened some restaurant called Tchoup Chop. What? I will never eat at a restaurant that I cannot pronounce you arrogant bastard.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Special Browser for my exams at school. So over the summer, im taking 4 classes. These are speeded up hybird courses, so one of the classes I have is an Online Class. I recently had to take my first online exam and was thrown for a loop when I was told I had to download a special browser in order to take the exam. A SPECIAL BROWSER??? Ive never seen anything like this before....so I downloaded it, whatever. It's called "Lockdown Browser". It's pretty much a browser that locks down your entire computer except for that browser with which your exam is in. This is obviously to prevent your computer from locking up or your browser crashing. I don't know what to think of it. But what I do know, is that Online Classes are a scam and should be half the price of normal classes.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have searched the internet endlessly. I really thought I had searched it all....until I read an article on CNN that was linked to the sight MentalFloss.com. The name itself caught my eye. Genius. So I clicked and my life began. This is my website. This is what runs through my brain on almost a daily basis. Just RANDOM ASS SHIT. But interesting shit.

This is the best article i've read so far: http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs//archives/15131

My Favorite Picture thus far this week:


---------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Iran Election

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Journalists in North Korea - Supposidly there is video of Euna and Laura crossing into N.K. I don't know....this story is so crazy.....they have been in N.K. since March 17th. WHY??? WHY??? WHY WOULD THEY BE SO STUPID TO TRY TO SNEAK OVER???? I don't know what to believe....



---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just an interesting read.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nebraska mom attempts to sell her kid on craigslist.
This bitch didn't actual try to sell her kid. She was a meth head, and said she needed someone to take the child before she did something stupid. I love how media distorts everything. There is a HUGE difference between this woman wanting to sell her kid OR give her kid up the only way she obviously knew how.....but yet the headline reads "Nebraska mom attempts to see her kid on craigslist".

Her ad said something along the lines of:
"the woman is a methamphetamine addict and the boy deserves a mom who is not an addict and her son needs help before she does something crazy."

THANK GOD, she wrote that on Craigslist. Or else, she probably would have just left the kid somewhere, or killed it. People who are addicted to drugs have no control. So instead of making them out to be monsters, let's fucking try to help them. Foxnews, I hate you for the way you titled this article. You pegged Craigslist as some sort of disgusting forum for perverts and child killers. This kid would probaby be dead if it wasn't for Craigslist.

HOAX OF THE DAY:
Man missing for like 50 years, ends up alive? I give this story....a week, week in a half. I CALL SHENNANIGANS.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Taylor Swift Rapping - this is so cute, I want to barf. Im a fan of this chick. She's a good egg.

Myspace is cutting 30% of their workforce (take note Facebook. This shit doesn't last forever).

Perezhilton.com Reports:
There are very loud whisperings that Marc Jacobs will be wedding his Brazilian advertising executive of a fiance, Lorenzo Martone, sooner than later!

As in within the week!!!

The wedding is said to be taking place in Provincetown, Massachusetts, close to Robert Duffy's home (aka Jacobs' design partner).

Who cares right? I do. These two men are like a hot sandwich wrapped in some sexy bread. For all you ignorant phucks of the world who think gays should be treated like second-class citizens...look at this picture, these men are in LOVE. They LOVE each other. IT DOES NOT EFFECT YOUR LIFE WHATSOEVER. God damn, it seems so stupid to even try to explain it.

Another Perezhilton.com Exclusive:

THE GAMING INDUSTRY IS DOING GREAT DESPITE THE ECONOMY

Yes, we know you're out there. You have no job, no money, basically no life, and you are sitting in your parent's basement right now playing Halo. (how eerily accurate this is, makes me wonder if Perez himself is a gamer?)

Well, congratulations, because of gamers like you, the video game industry has never looked better!

Reports are coming in that video games sales for the next five years are set to grow at 5.8% annually. In just in North America alone, video games sales are looking to reach $17.2 billion this year and growing to $21.6 billion in 2013.

Stefanie Kane, a partner at Pricewaterhouse Coopers' entertainment and media practice says "unlimited hours of fun" after a game is bought is one of the reasons that "cost-conscious consumers" will keep buying games even when the economy is bad.

Translation: You need something to do to fill the time between receiving the unemployment checks. (hahahahahaha, oh Perez, your so silly)

FYI: Success should also be attributed to teenage boys, nerds, and pot-heads. (again, lmao, and your success should be attributed too???).

Video Games have always been popular. ALWAYS. From the beginning of my life, I was playing Texas Instruments Hunt The Wumpus, Mario and Zelda. Although it might seem like a time waster, its fun. And wtf are we doing here, if not having fun?
