Caught In Action

Priceless:


Oops! Someone got caught. Even if that was posed it's still funny all the same. Really, who bangs pinatas.

It starts kind of slow, but it's laugh out loud funny towards the end.

Good Movies

I just read a post on a forum about good movies. At the moment, it brought to mind three movies for me.

Boondock Saints

Friday Night Lights

There are many more movies that I have for favorites, but that's just what came to mind. You can catch a trailer of Friday Night Lights here: JustMovieTrailers

Off to clean my room.....

Think For Yourself!!!!!

I am taking a law class at my high school. Our teacher has openly admitted that she is liberal. Ok, so we get talking about current events. It was about the ban on smoking in a car with people under the age of 18. She said she agreed with it and asked the class of our opinion. Most of the class, too, agreed.

BUT....

She then continued on to say:

Doesn't that make you afraid of what the government will do next?
Will they ban smoking in your house?
How far will they go into your privacy?
Doesn't this scare you guys?

She kept pointing out things to that effect. Then, once again, she states that she is for it.. She again asks the class. Now, everyone votes against it. I'm like, how the hell did the whole class just change their opinions within five minutes because of what our teacher said. It just makes me want to scream "Think for yourselves idiots!” I don't know, but I just think it's stupid how everyone changed their mind so quickly. All because of what our left wing, nut job teacher pointed out. I know my opinion didn't change!

I think that the ban would be good because it would protect children. I don't think it will open up any more doors for the government to invade our privacy. If they even mentioned banning smoking in places such as our own homes, it would really "stir the pot" in America. Especially with the radicals that are gung-ho about their constitutional rights. Militia men would reap havoc! Well, I don't think it would be quite that bad, but there would be MANY furious people. I think the ban is good because people under 18 can't protect themselves from second hand smoke in cars. Therefore, I think it’s good for the government to step in. They may have no other way of transportation unless riding with a smoker such as their parent. In that case they have to suffer the second hand smoke. If this new law passed, they wouldn't have to suffer all the second hand smoke.

That thought may be totally discombobulated, but I think you get what I mean.

Found a New Word

While watching Bill O'Reilly's news program I learned a new word.

gar·ru·lous ( P ) Pronunciation Key (gr-ls, gry-)adj.
1. Given to excessive and often trivial or rambling talk; tiresomely talkative.

2. Wordy and rambling: a garrulous speech.

Source: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=2&q=garrulous

This word is great because now I can sound smart when people are rambling on about nothing. I can now say "Stop being so garrulous" and receive dumbfounded looks.

I could even change the name of my blog. It's very fitting! I kind of like this:

Garrulous Thoughts

It's simple and explanatory. There is one big downfall to that name. I doubt if many people know the definition of garrulous.

That's it for now.

Funny Video on Gay Rights

Here's a link to a hilarious video from John Stewart's show on Comedy Central. It's coming from a skeptical, liberal viewpont, but it's good nonetheless.

View it here.

New way to catch TV shows you miss

Is TiVo too expensive for you? Is taping missed shows a hassle? Are you looking for a new way to catch TV shows you miss?

Well, if you answer yes to any of these I might have a solution for you. Apple has partnered up with ABC to sell TV edpisodes after they air. After the broadcasting of a show, the show would be downloadable from Apple. I presume they would release the epidsodes through iTunes. It would only be 99 cents per song. Cheap and easy. Apple has always been known for their ease of use which they continue with this idea. The spinwheel on iPods is a great example.

NBC and CBS have done the same with DirectTV and Comcast.

I see this as the start of a new trend. This will be the new way to catch all missed TV shows in the future. Not only the shows on ABC, CBS, and NBC, but I think all TV shows will be avabilable in this way in the near future.

Father/Daughter Talk

I thought this was great.

Father/Daughter Talk

A young woman was about to finish her first year of college.
Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be a
very liberal Democrat, and was very much in favor of the
redistribution of wealth.

She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch
Republican, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the
lectures that she had participated in, and the occasional chat
with a professor, she felt that her father had for years
harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought
should be his.

One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to
higher taxes on the rich and the addition of more government
welfare programs. The self-professed objectivity proclaimed
by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to
her father. He responded by asking how she was doing in school.

Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA,
and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that
she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly
studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other
people she knew. She didn't even have time for a boyfriend, and
didn't really have many college friends because she spent all her
time studying.

Her father listened and then asked, "How is you friend Audrey doing?"

She replied, "Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are
easy classes, she never studies, and she barely has a 2.0 GPA.
She is so popular on campus, college for her is a blast. She's
always invited to all the parties, and lots of times she doesn't
even show up for classes because she's too hung over."

Her wise father asked his daughter, "Why don't you go to the
Dean's office and ask him to deduct a 1.0 off your GPA and give
it to your friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both
have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal
distribution of GPA."

The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion,
angrily fired back, "That wouldn't be fair! I have worked
really hard for my grades! I've invested a lot of time,
and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing
toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!"

The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, "Welcome to the Republican
Party."

I found it on a forum so I'm not sure of the source. Regardless, it was a good find. Probably the best analogy ever. It's perfect! Brilliant!

Good night everyone.

P.S. I'm having problems posting pictures. I don't know what's up, but I'm trying to work out the kinks.

Mudvayne and NIhilism

Well, my weekend was great. I lost seven bucks playing poker and gained one back in Tripoley. I bought Mudvayne's latest CD, Lost and Found. It's a great heavymetal album, but some of their songs are odd. Overall, I liked all the songs, even the odd ones. One of the odd things on the album was in the song Choices. In a squeaky voice, they say the words "Eenie Meanie Miney Moe" (spelling?).



On one of my favorite websites, Wikipedia, I found another interesting term:

Nihilism

Furthermore, the most interesting article I have found on Wikipedia yet is on Internet Trolls. It's very intriguing to me to understand the reasoning behind people's logic in doing things such as trolling. I think that's one reason why I find psychology interesting. I loved this article becasue it went so in-depth on why people troll and their reasons for doing it. Also, I agree with the idea that trolls playing "Devil's Advocate" is good for a forum (it depends on the circumstances, but most of the time).

I've got to get back to the Colts and Patriots game. Go Colts!

So Busy

I'm not going to be able to make a worthile post today. I'm sorry. It has been really busy around here. We lost our footbal game yesterday 31-29 with 1 second left it the game (the other team kicked a field goal to win). The aroma was like someone died on our sidelines. There was so much sadness. It sucked so much.
