Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence

I somehow managed to successfully finish that article. It sure was tough work, maybe I should learn a little bit about track & field. Or maybe not.


Tonight's Grammys were probably the highlight of my night (sadly enough). They were actually pretty entertaining this year, especially in comparison to other years.

First thing's first: Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry and Estelle officially can't sing. And I love "American Boy".

I'm not actually going to get into the winners, because everyone knows that the voting process is BS anyways. But there were some performances I really liked.

I love Stevie Wonder and Al Green. So the more times that they are on stage, the better it is for me. "Swagga Like Us" was pretty cool, although M.I.A.'s baby may have been killed in the process (she was scheduled to give birth on that day! wtf?). The BB King, John Mayer, Keith Urban deal was pretty good. JT was awesome (as always). "Tie My Hands" from Lil Wayne and Robin Thicke was equally good, as I already loved that song. I'm going to try to limit my Paul McCartney mentioning to once, as it seemed every person who got on stage felt the need to suck him off. Guys, he was in The Beatles, he doesn't need any sucking off. Try somebody who needs the self-confidence boost (Kanye's hair, for instance).

Oh yeah, I literally could not speak when Carrie Underwood came on stage. I was literally frozen. That's the best that I can put it into words. I literally used the word 'breathtaking' for the first time in my life (no homo dawg). And most people know my predisposed bias against blondes. And I don't care if she doesn't know my last name.


MTV rolled out with a pretty sweet Sunday lineup tonight. Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory was hilarious, basically because he's hilarious. The CollegeHumor Show was surprisingly funny, although I wouldn't care much if Amir got stabbed with an AIDS needle. After that it was Travis Pastrana's show Nitro Circus, which basically has him and his friends doing insane stuff. He jumped out of a freaking plane without a parachute. Dude's legitimately nuts. After that was a basically a news show (forgot the name) with a bunch of mentally-challenged people. I will not comment much further in an effort to not offend anyone (though I may have already done so with the AIDS comment), but I will say that it was pretty funny. An overall solid two hours of television, none of which including Spencer's face growth/squirrel-ish looking thing.

Oh, and listen to/watch this. I haven't found a better take/parody of popular music yet.

Days Until My 21st Birthday: 16 (just two days until I can call it a fortnight!!)

He said What Do You Want to Be? She Said 'Alive'

It's been a while since I've made a significant post. I apologize to my several faithful readers.

I'll start off with the Super Bowl. I won't comment too much on the game, since if you really care about it you'll see 17,000 different articles and TV shows discussing it. But I'll just say that the refs sort of blew it again. Not on a Pittsburgh-Seattle level, but still pretty bad. You can't call like seven holding penalties on one team and not on the other... there's holding on every single NFL play! The roughing the passer penalty was bull if you consider how Ben was scrambling and extending the play just about every time he dropped back. Sometimes you just have to let them play. And not reviewing the last play was absolutely inexcusable.

Commercials were so-so this year. Careerbuilder.com was the clear winner this year (anything involving a koala bear with glasses wins for me). ETrade always produces quality stuff. I was actually very disappointed with the lack of a Geico commercial.

Oh, and The Office episode tonight probably ranks as one of my top 3 favorites ever. It was classic from start-to-finish. This is especially impressive because I've felt that the last two seasons have gone nothing but downhill. They definitely saved this one for the right time.


Alright, I've claimed this many different times. But I have officially found... the funniest video on youtube. Ever.

And if you love ShamWows like I do... watch this.

And I have an obligation to post a Stevie Wonder video. And make a joke about it (despite my love for him). Really, do you think they said "Stevie... please don't step forward or backwards or anywhere really"?

Days til my 21st Birthday: 23

It's Kinda Crazy Right

I'm slightly buzzed (okay maybe I'm underestimating it a little bit). Point is, this is the first time I'm writing a blog with not only absolutely no idea what I'm gonna write about, but I'm pretty sure I just shouldn't be writing period. Lets see how it turns out.

First off, Go Knicks! 18-24 is respectable for the fact that Jared Jeffries still plays almost 25 minutes a game.

Second, I love Stevie Wonder. If I had a baby with him would there be a higher risk of him being blind? That might affect my decision to have a baby with him. Probably not. As long as my baby could sing. Because God knows that I can't.

Third, I would like to apologize for something. I shaved about half of my beard off. I know a lot of people are going to be disappointed with me at this point. I was trying hard to look like Bon Iver, or at the very least Conor Oberst in a milk advertisement. At first I was like "hey I look like a lumberjack, I think I'll shave" so I started to trim away, then I accidentally lobbed off half of my moustache, so I had to go with like the extreme 5-o clock shadow look. I mean, it's still sexy, but it looks like I'll have to put my indie musical dreams on the shelf for now. I'll probably still attempt to grow a full beard for my birthday.

Fourth, "5, 6, 7, 8 I don't need your sex I'll masturbate" has to be the worst line in any song ever. Though Kanye still kills it on that song.

Fifth, I think I'll stop counting and just go to sleep. Itd probably be a good thing.

Days Til My 21st Birthday (if I counted correctly): 32
