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.

AutoTune & Heartbreak

Today was the first day of immersion into Kanye's 808's and Heartbreak. And after about three hours I still don't know what to think. Everybody's heard the singles by now, and yeah... the whole album is sung in AutoTune. I assumed I would probably still like it, since I can listen to just about anything and enjoy it these days. I can't say I don't like it... I like the concept, some of the songs are fairly dope, but it just seems like he got lazy with it. The album got finished waaaay ahead of schedule, and I think it clearly shows. I'll probably have a better idea on how I feel about it in a couple days.

By the way... GO BILLS! I'm not ready to get excited yet, because after all it was the Chiefs, but at least they showed they can produce against a bad team. 54 points against anybody isn't anything to scoff at. Big ups to Leodis McKelvin... apparently you were worth a first round pick.

Two days til I leave back to Rochester for Thanksgiving. Should be fun stuff.
