Let's Not Watch

There's tons of reasons not to watch the so-called "big game" and few reasons to. Not to mention the fad of just watching it for the commercials which people are still feeling clever about. Why should you not care come Sunday? Here's my reasons...

1. Church- while the "Big Game" (can't legally say the copywritten name on most media so I'm not taking any risks) doesn't start til most church's activities are long over, people enjoy watching the prepreprepregame shows.

2. It's boring- you see one football game you've seen em all I say.

3. Heart Attacks- people are seriously having heart problems because of all the so-called anxiety they experience from watching said game. I have no first-hand experience of this... but there ya go.

4. There's probably something better on- self explanatory. Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet.

5. Commercials are stupid- there I said it. Watching for the commercials is probably one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. Those are the parts of the show I usually have my eyes glaze over or get distracted by something more interesting... like the dog sleeping and doing nothing.

6. It's overly hyped- think about those early year so-called gotta see flicks. They all stink. Publicity is usually a good sign that a show/movie/sports event needs to fool people that a boring piece of bleep is worth watching. The best shows don't even need to advertise.

7. Too much money spent on ads- I don't trust an event they charge so much for ads on. Or the fact people spend millions on a sport that people actually make careers out of. A stupid career plan, if I say so myself. It's much worse than wanting to be a minister. Both take no speaking skills whatsoever.

8. Fatty foods- most people watching said sports events feel some weird desire to load up on the salty fatty snacks to sit and watch the game. Sitting plus super fattening foods leads to extra heart attacks making reason 2 all the more strong. Something weird about supporting professional sports when you're a fat lazy couch potato who never touched a football in his life.

That's all I can think of I'm sure there's tons more reasons not to watch. Don't be feeling smug Valentine's Day... your time for a beat down is coming soon.

Seven Days

That's right kids only 7 days until Super Tuesday!

21 states hold their primaries this day. I highly suggest you get out and vote. As for me, I'm still considering voting for Obama just so Clinton doesn't win. Then again, I in no way endorse him. Ron Paul sounds pretty good to me with his whole campaign based on lower taxes. Huckabee sounds good also with his strong Christian morals. So I'll have to look into these two. Either way, come November I'll vote GOP again.

Ah the Republican party, how hated you are by the media. From an economic stand point they only differ on their stimulus programs. GOP rather put money in the private sector to spend, while the demoncranks... err democrats... are more into government spending. Both get the job done, but all the people I've ever met on Social Security are lazy bums mooching and taking advantage of the system. I'm sure there's millions that need the system. For others its a crutch. Others still its a golden ticket. Working as a cashier part-time there's a huge majority of WIC and Food Stamps users of a certain minority. I'm just stating my perceptions.

Then again its my blog and I'll be as racist as I want.

Check that Ingredient List!

Watch out in your favorite beverages that they don't contain both bonzoate salt and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) these two ingredients react and become benzene, a cancer-causing chemical.

Not that you should be drinking soft drinks anyways. Read more here.

Quantum of Solace

Bond 22's official name has been announced, its Quantum of Solace.

I think the title makes no sense, but is much better than the "Gold" names or the ones that parody popular sayings. Looks like they wanted to make it sound more academic by stringing together huge words together.

Website

This Client Side Web Development class I'm taking this year is pretty nice. It's inspiring me to want to finally revamp guenthercorp. Then again I must realize what I'm trying to do with it. Perhaps I should use it to parody. Maybe I should have the same usual random nonsense. Maybe both.

Either way look forward to a friendly better looking site.

Check out my NEIU site... its not... aweful. Its really aweful.

Gift Cards

I shall talk about the so-called universal gift... the gift card.

Many people think this is the last resort in gift giving, and I'll agree. Some take it as the first resort. I don't enjoy gift cards as gifts. It just screams "I have no idea what you like." Then again there is some risk, what if you give a gift card to a place they never go. Recently I was given a gift card to the "golden arches". It's rare enough I go to some fast food place, and its super mega rare I go to that one previously mentioned place. Though I do enjoy their seasonal double fish type sandwich.

Well after a few years I've actually gotten to the point where cash is the best gift to receive, and DVD's are the best to give. For friends though, they don't get any gift. I'm beyond the whole party phase and being a nondrinker I don't go to the parties people my age enjoy going to.

So in conclusion give me cash. Or a check. Or a gift card to pretty much any place. I'm not guaranteeing I'll actually use it.

Fuzzy Memory

One of my fond memories is the time I charged 7 cents on my credit card at that one place I work at.

Good time.

Spam and Clay

Today's Feature is about this blog.

I'm all for Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I'm minorly interested in the fact they made a Broadway musical about it called "Spamalot" and one day maybe I'll think about seeing it.

I'm quite surprised that they're casting Clay Aiken as Sir Robin. At first this very idea appalled and offended me, but after further though about the character its quite amusing. Sir Robin is the iconic yellow-belly knight whose minstrels follow him acting like he was so gallant as he usually claims. Sounds pretty acute for what most people think about Clay Aiken-- as an effeminate wuss.

Then again after his appearance on "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?" I've found out he isn't all that bad, he's pretty smart too. I hold nothing against a guy that, despite not actually winning American Idol, did cash in on his talent. Which is sell-out by default, but money talks.

You know you're lazy when...

You have to take the elevator down instead of walking down a flight of stairs.

Wasn't me this time.

Bond 22

Some how that name is a lot loss pizzazz than the eventual full title that will be given to the film. 22 Bond movies. None of them can hold my attention. Sorry.

Yet every parody of Bond has caught my attention and keeps me interested enough to watch it. Namely Austin Powers and Johnny English. Both great movies/series by a lot better actors. Exempt from that claim is Sean Connery, best bond ever.

Back to School

Hmmm I could swear I placed ads on this page to create revenue...

Anyways, school resumes tomorrow. Pretty sweet schedule too. Hopefully I can make a bunch of updates to my novel. Sweet.

EDIT: January 8th, finally put an ad in. Hooray.
