Awesome Possum

So since it's the summer, i've been finding myself drifting into a slow but steady stream of boredom. With this boredom came way too many hours of internet browsing. Therefore, "stumbling upon" a website called "StumbleUpon" I came across quite a few amusing things. However, this video stuck out to me because

THIS GUY IS LIKE A FREAKING NINJA

That is all I have to say, except you must watch it!



 What did I tell you? Pretty Awesome huh?

Next are some of my favorite MLIA's that I've come across.

Today, I was at the grocery store in the bakery
section when I heard a little girl hyperactively
telling her mother what kind of cake she wanted
for her birthday. After going through the catalog,
she suddenly and loudly demanded a Hanna Montana
Cake, to which her mother replied, "but you don't
even like Hannan Montanna!" The little girl
nonchalantly responded, "I know, I just want to eat
her face." Our youth is doing just fine.

Today, my two sisters were having a fight
over the dinner table, one is 14, the other
is 6. My 14 year old sister yelled "Well
Santa's not real!". My 6 year old sister
plucked up some courage and yelled, "Well
neither is Edward Cullen!". One ran from
the table crying. I think we all know who did.
MLIA
Today, I too my little sister to see New Moon.
A few minutes into the movie, when there was
a closeup shot of Edward's face, a nerfgun dart
hit him straight in the eye. I turned around to
see an 80 year old man holding a nerfgun, who
shouted; "Go, Team Jacob!" and hobbled out on
his cane, muttering.
MLIA

Today, I typed in "Google hates.. " and one of
the suggestions it came up with was "Google hates
Justin Bieber." I'm happy to know Google has
standards.

Yesterday I was at my dad's graduation from college.
He went back to retrain as a paramedic. We didn't
see him at all before the ceremony until we got up
to the auditorium level, where he was walking around
in his gown yelling "TEN POINTS FROM SLYTHERIN" at
the other passing graduates. My dad is 48.
MLIA
Today, I was watching TV at my Nan and Grandads
house, when my Grandad walks in during a trailer
for 'Eclipse'. He then said to me "I thought Cedric
Digory died?" I love my Grandad.

And Now Another Video


She's great

That's all I have as a result of my summertime boredom for now!

Taylor Swift Is Awful Because...

1) She Cannot Hit The Notes: People make excuses for her being bad live but "amazing" in the recordings right? Well, she sucks live because she cannot hit the notes. Plain and simple,she just does not have the range to sing her songs in tune. Or any song in tune for that matter. The only reason she sounds good in recordings is because of autotune "helping her out".

2) She Cannot Play The Guitar Well: Her songs are variations on pretty much the same 3 cord progressions. Therefore, making it easier to hide her bad/mediocre guitar playing skills.

3) All Her Songs Are About The Same Thing: She whines about boys too much! She makes all girls her age look desperate, stalkerish, and all around dumb. When you say you relate to her, it is admitting to being way too desperate and clingy! Nobody likes clingers.

4) No Credit For Her Band: She does not give credit to her band, which definitely has WAY more talent than she does, and that's just rude. Every other singer/songwriter acknowleges their band. Without a band there is no taylor!

5) Her Fans Are Awful: Her fans are so annoying. If they see or hear one thing bad about Taylor Swift they go off the deep end! Who cares how nice of a person she is? SHE SHOULDNT BE A SINGER BECAUSE SHE'S NICE! Lets put it this way, my grandma's nice, but that doesnt mean she should try to abuse that quality to become famous. Get another job grandma/taylor!

6) She Obtained Her Record Label For One Reason: I hope everyone knows who her daddy is, that's the only reason she's famous. If you're not good, dont abuse connections to become a hit. You're still not good!

7) Real Singer Comparison: Lastly, SHE IS A DISGRACE TO ALL LEGITAMATE SINGERS! If taylor went to any type of audtion, ie. college audition, chorus audtion, even american idol! SHE WOULD BE KICKED OUT THE FIRST ROUND. I know for a fact (as i am a violinist and vocalist, both pop and classical) that she would make it NOWHERE if she had tried to become famous on her own.

(I did not include her looks because that's opinionated, the fact that she cannot hit notes and has a plain voice are FACT)

Thank you those Taylor fans that asked me why I don't respect her "as a musician" and prompted this entry in my blog. Now you know why.

Big Butter Jesus

As most people in the Cincinnati area know, "Touchdown Jesus" (also known as "Big Butter Jesus") burnt down as a result of a lightening strike on Monday June 14th, 2010. The six-story high statue was made of foam and fiberglass over a steel frame. It was built along I-75 in Cincinnati Ohio at Solid Rock Church. Damage estimates are at $700,000 for the statue and the church's theater (plus equipment) "enduring smoke damage". So here's the question...

why should they rebuild it???

First of all, if you believe in general christian beliefs, building the statue in the first place is a form of idolatry! So, being a church and all, shouldn't they be looking to use that HUGE sum of money for something that could change the world!?
        
    A few examples would be:
  • money towards cleaning up the oil spill
  • donating to suffering people in Haiti
  • or maybe just some old-fashioned organizations?
  • how about money for cancer research!
The possibilities are endless really. Second of all, the statue is just a way for the church to get non-church goers attention. I mean the original construction of it, obviously the lightening strike was just a coincidence.

Which brings me to my next point, okay so maybe "God was sending a message" or whatever, but crying about an apocalypse is just ridiculous. People in this world are being way to dramatic and need to find something else to talk about.

In conclusion, yes the statue was an icon in Cincinnati and many people were sad to see it go. However, rebuilding it is simply not necessary. It would be a colossal waste of money and could simply be used for something of better moral interest.

Thank you for reading, I do realize that this is my opinion. That is the point of my blog. Thanks!
