Thanksgiving and back the work.

Happy Thanksgiving.

You know what that means, for the next month, CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS, CHRISTMAS.

I loved the old films about Christmas.

You know Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and best of all,  Santa Claus is Comin' to Town.

Patriots vs Colts: Game on! and Prediction

A quick clip of thanksgiving before the blood is shed.



The Indianapolis Colts are coming the Gillette Stadium in Foxboro to face the New England Patriots. An interesting article written by one of my high school friends gives some more of the history of this rivalry and why it matters so much to the AFC.

I only care for a good entertaining game...and for my fantasy players to kick some ass while that is happening.

Prediction:
Patriots: 31
Colts: 24

The Patriots have a must win coming done the homeward stretch to the playoffs. The Jets are right on their tail with easier games in front of them.  The Jets just might win the division this year.

For the Colts, they have just not been as explosive this year as they have in the past.  The ways of Tony Dungy has now faded.  They need to be revived in order to compete once more before Peyton retires in the next five years.

The Pats do win it as if it was against the Buffalo Bills.

Comments on Obama's Limo

Obama's Presidential Limo

When Obama showed up for the NATO summit hosted by the Portuguese, comments have been made about his limo.

These comments highlighted by Yahoo! News.  The hosts were offended by the diesel powered beast of a car while just about everyone else was using an electric, zero-emissions cars to get to their meetings.

This seems to be a comment from an environmental air-head.  Those people who made and support those comments definitely don't have people hunting for them.  Obama does.  There are psychopaths that would threaten to do such a thing.  Having this armored tank disguised as a limo for the President of the United States makes sure that they wont get a chance.

Now if you think that a electric powered car could do the same, you are wrong.  With the current technology, just the batteries of these cars add nearly tons to the total.  If you add all of the same features on to of that, the armor, the bullet proof glass, the tires that can run while flat, the performance of this limo will decline significantly.  It will be the slowest thing on the road.  In an emergency, it needs to be fast and maneuverable.    Being diesel, it can be.

If this is used as political propaganda against the Obama in the form of not being environmentally sound, they are clueless about the current technologies available and the safety of the President.

How Weed Won the West

For those who haven't seen, How Weed Won the West is a documentary about the issues of Medical Marijuana in the past years in California.

This documentary is well done and lots of time and effort has clearly been put into it.

Every single person they talk to as a dispensary owner, user (aka "Patient"), or a "doctor," they have have something wrong with them.  They all talk in a slow, cautious way.  They might be high or be in "pain" but I think it proves a different point than one that I think they meant to show.

I believe it shows that Marijuana use does change the user.  Its more than the fear of being caught, since in California, they do have the doctor's permission and the proper paper work to do such a thing.

Looking toward the end of the movie, their is one user that got severely burned and is clearly in a world of hurt.  He brings of a point that it is a miracle drug.  It takes the place of the addicting cocktail of drugs that he would need to treat pain, depression, nerve damage, digestion, seizers, anxiety.

So, lets say it does treat all of these problems at once.  What does it mean for a patient that only suffers from pain?  Should they still take the "cocktail replacing miracle drug"?  No doctor would give a patient a prescription to drugs that would treat other symptoms than the patient has.  It would be as if the patient took seizers pills when he got burned.

That's what scary about this drug, herb, or weed.  It changes people's whole being when they are not even smoking it.  This documentary proves my point.

The baby that said "Yes!"

I was watching an episode of No Ordinary Family today on Hulu, and a quote resinated in my head:  "Your first word was 'no'."

From my limited experience of babies, I believe a babies first words are usually mommy, daddy, or no.  Yes is probably not it.  Is it a way of the times?  Could it be the way we think and talk to our kids?

"Are you done?" as the obvious answer is a no for a growing child.
"No, no, no" as the baby does something wrong.

Do we just not praise our babies while they are young?  Does an infant have a self-esteem?  Should we cater to it at such a early age?  Would it effect the mentality of the child later in life?

Maybe we, as a society should mix it up a bit and use 'yes' more often.  Imagine a cheerful world where 'yes' is more common than 'no.'  

The baby that said "Yes!"

Ok Go does it again!

The band Ok Go has put out another of their videos.  First they had treadmills, then they had a marching band.  Next, a massive Rube Goldberg machine.  Now, a music video of a ton of toast with stop and go animation.  See for your self:



Well done Ok Go.  Well done.

Nice Car

After a successful day of studying, I went on to yahoo.com to see if anything interesting has happened in the last 5 minutes since I checked it. To my dismay, something has.

Your looking at the all new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG.  It can go really fast in a little time just by looking at it.  You can get more of its specs by using Yahoo! autos.  

Of course, you would need about $185,000 if you want one.  Besides that, I would totally make love with that car.  O la la.  

Oh, the Irony!

Now this video is all about the irony and the more than decent performance.



You can't say that ain't funny. The song being "Bitches ain't shit" with an all girls choir wearing those preppy clothes (aka HOT). Ah, so good.

Unstoppable Laughter from SNL

This parody by SNL is utterly fantastic.

The impressions of Denzel Washington is genius. The other guy, I am not as familiar, but it's a good pair.

"reconcilable differences"
"BOOM"

I sent it to my brother on facebook. Once he looked at it, he couldn't stop laughing.

Saturday Night Live, keep it up!

Fifa Songs

In relation to the World Cup, I have played nearly every year of EA Sports Fifa soccer games. Some of their music is serious unknowns, but they all stuck with me.

Here are some of their intro songs.

2010 World Cup Song

So apparently, this is the 'theme' song for the World Cup in South Africa in a little more than a month. Despite Shakira singing it, I kind of like it.

Start of a New Day

Well, it isn't really.



I wish it was Justin Bieber, because seriously, who likes him?
