I Will Hunt You Down?

It seems like I say this every time lately... but man it's been a while. I'm basically making a blog post for the hell of it... I really have no idea what I'm about to write. But there's usually a direct correlation between blogging and my mental health (I won't tell you in what direction), so let's see if that comes up true.

First of all, is listening to Ne-Yo a feminine thing for me to do? Because I love me some Ne-Yo (no, not in that way, and yes, I know what the rumors about him were). The dude is just solid, makes hit after hit, even if he kind of looks like an overgrown baby (at least he doesn't look like a fetus).

Second, let me make a formal plea. The Bills need to spend some money on Terrell Owens. Reasons?
A) Entertainment. I am dying to see the city of Buffalo's reaction to a T.O. signing. 25% of the city will be convinced we are winning the Super Bowl. 75% of the city will make petitions against him and protest training camp. And I'm going to love every minute of it.

B) Who cares? We've missed 10 straight playoffs. The worst thing that can happen? We miss eleven. Not a big price for what would be guaranteed as the most entertaining Bills season ever.


I wish I had a webcam (like the MacBook-styled ones). Why? Because I think I could make a successful Youtube series just of me singing along Mariah Carey songs. I really go all-out. I could probably even turn it into a monthly DVD series for $9.95 a month like Girls Gone Wild. Well, maybe not in this economy. But you'd enjoy the infomercial.


Speaking of Mariah Carey (no, I won't hunt you down), I would like to apologize to a couple songs for leaving them off of the Guilty Pleasure list: "It Wasn't Me" by Shaggy (almost stuck a fork in my eye when I remembered), "I'm Like a Bird" by Nelly Furtado, any song by Panic at the Disco, "Crank Dat Batman" by the Pop it Off Boys, the Holy Trinity of Ace of Base songs ("I Saw the Sign", "Don't Turn Around", "All That She Wants"), "Summer Nights" by Lil Rob, "Go Your Own Way" by Fleetwood Mac, "Untouched" by The Veronicas, "Slide" by Goo Goo Dolls, among probably countless of other songs (some people tell me that it should be embarassing that "Come On Eileen" is easily in my top 100 favorite songs). I'm still happy with my original list, but I probably should have thought about it longer. Enrique is still the king.


So about a week back I decided I was gonna get back in the lifting game. I decided to go to GNC for some protein. I do this every time I start up again because I figure that if I blow some money on a product, I'll use it as motivation to work out (which has actually worked). That's right, being healthy, or looking good, or being in good fitness is not enough to motivate me. But if I drop forty bucks, suddenly I'm spending two hours in the gym every day. Funny how that works.

Anyways, I've always had a theory that if I go into GNC with a certain product in mind, (without fail) the douche who works there will tell you not only that there's a different product I should buy, but that he uses it too. I have no clue what their motivation of this is. But it happens every time. Now I was just in GNC like two days earlier with Scott. And of course this happened with the protein he was trying to buy. So I figure I'll just go in, say that I want the one that he suggested to Scott last time, and see what he does.

So I walk in and immediately point out the product in question. And guess what the guy who worked there did (who btdubs, was the same guy that was working when I went with Scott)? He points out a product that was the same price, literally almost had the same specs, same company, just had a different color bag and name.

I urge anyone who goes into GNC to try this. Even if you don't have something in mind when you go in, just pick something and see if they try to convince you into something else. I love social experiments.

I Can't Go Onnn

I figured I'd do something fun here. Here is a list of my 10 Biggest Guilty Pleasure songs ever... songs that I'm ashamed to admit that I love.

10. Sisqo - The Thong Song: Okay, so everyone knows I love this song. And to my credit, the video is a modern masterpiece. Sisqo has to get credit for the fact that he created the most intense song ever about women's lingerie. I really appreciate anyone who clearly has a passion for something... no matter what it may be.

9. Paramore - That's What You Get: Yes, I make fun of bands like Paramore all the time. Song's catchy, the singer is cute, and I've rocked out "Misery Business" on Guitar Hero at least a thousand times.

8. The Ronettes - Be My Baby: The only retro pick on the list. Yes, a classic song. No, completely not heterosexual for me to thoroughly enjoy it.

7. Christina Aguilera - Genie in a Bottle: Because you have to rub me the right way.

6. Lil Kim feat. 50 Cent - Magic Stick: Speaking of that.. er... haha. Bad joke. Anyways, I hate 50 Cent, it's true. I say it all the time. It's completely inexplicable for me to enjoy this song but hate countless other songs by Mr. Jackson.

5. Mariah Carey - Fantasy: Okay, maybe I've already come out of the closet with my enjoyment (and emfatuation) of Mariah a thousand times. I guess it probably still deserves to be on the list.

4. Limp Bizkit - N2Gether Now: On the list purely because it's Limp Bizkit. Doesn't change the fact that DJ Premier wasted on of his greatest beats on Fred Durst. Literally, if it was the same exact song and had somebody else's name on it, this would be considered a rap classic.

3. N'Sync - Tearin' Up My Heart: No secret here, if you text me, this is the song I hear.

2. Taylor Swift - Love Story: I probably shouldn't even be allowed to explain myself here. But to my credit, if you ask ten heterosexual dudes if they like this song, two or three of them will begrudgingly start singing "We were both young when I first sarr youuu...". Try it.

1. Enrique Iglesias - Be With You: Yeah. One of my favorite songs ever. I have absolutely no excuse.
