My Favorite Thing From Last Week...

Last Friday the Cleveland Cavaliers and Orlando Magic played their classic second game of the Eastern Conference Finals. Below is a video of a local Cleveland news crew and their real time reaction to what was going on in the game. I love how sports can turn people from broadcast professionals to crazy rabid fans in a second (literally a second). This clip will not disappoint:

Jon and Kate Plus 8...

Is this what we have become as a society. There was a time in this country were The President (the freaking President) could have an affair with the most famous actress in Hollywood and no one would say anything and nobody knew anything. Now people on a reality show on a second tier cable channel are being scrutinized and followed on CNN. Unbelievable. What Jon and Kate are, or aren't, doing is nobody's business. Yes its sad, but its not news. Why is it on the cover of magazines and news websites. This insane. When did cheating on your significant other become news? More importantly when did cheating between two people on the TLC channel become news?
What makes me more upset than anything are the "journalists" on these shows who say "oh this must be so devastating for the children." Hey A-hole!!! Guess what? You aren't making it any easier on this family. You think that you are making this easier on the kids by hounding them, chasing their parents around and putting this whole traumatic thing on television??? And same goes for all the dummies buying all these magazines and watching these shows which only vindicates what these losers do for a living. By buying into all this nonsense you legitimize what these people are doing to this family.On another note, why is it called TLC? TLC is supposed to stand for "The Learning Channel". Where is the learning? Its a bunch of shows about what to wear, people baking cakes and families with litters of kids. I see absolutely nothing of educational value. TLC its time for a name change.

Some Random Observations...

Alumni license plates. Heres the thing. Its great to rep your school with a sticker logo of your alma mater or the traditional alumni license plates. But please think twice about putting them on a crappy car. Are you really showing your school "love" by associating them with a 91 Toyota Trecel hatchback. Don't rock the alumni gear on your car unless you are driving a semi-decent car. Otherwise people will just start to associate your school with a crappy degree that leads to a crappy job that leads to a crappy car.

Futons. Futons are great - for the first three months. After that they are worn out and all your left with is a the world worst couch/a crappy bed. There are only a few places you should see a futon. A fraternity house, a dorm room or a guy's studio apartment (ladies - your above the futon, you have more class than us fellas).

Graduation Regalia. This country is known for rejecting traditions that demean human dignity (slavery for example). Yet we continue the stupid tradition of the cap and gown for graduation. I will be graduating this Friday and that means that I will end my academic career by looking like an idiot. Seriously. My masters robe looks like the thing worn by the killer in SCREAM. Its just silly looking. Its embarrassing and dehumanizing to ask a bunch of educated people, who just dropped a massive dime to go to school, to rent a stupid looking gown. I know its tradition but its a stupid one. Let us wear something formal. Or - in order to avoid the annoying families in the audience trying to pick their kid out of the crowd, like so many eight year olds trying to find Waldo, let us rock jerseys with our last names on the back. That would be cool. and we could rock a special patch with our graduating year and the program we are graduating from. How much cooler would that be?

Just a quick update...

So a few things I have noticed/realized:

I cry a lot. No. Seriously - I really do.

A guy in pink dress shirt complimented me on my Aqua Teen Hunger Force: The Moon Rules t-shirt. so that made my day.

I realized that I really love slideshows. I love putting them together and watching people enjoy them.

I am going to owe student loans for a looooooooong time.

why do guys feel the need to bathe in cologne. Dont we smell these guys and just do the B.O. math. If you wreak of Calvin Klein shouldn't I just assume that you naturally smell like a skunk without it. And at that point is wreaking of cologne really an improvement?
