As many of you know the internet can be a dangerous place. Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and even this blog manage to make hours go by as quickly as minutes, creating a death trap for those of us try and do homework. So with that I have decided to make a quick list of viral internet clips that are some of my favorites.
Starbucks "Eye of the Tiger"
A classic commercial I think, and it is definitely one of my favorites.
Those of you reader who have heard me talk about www.FunnyOrDie.com will be able to guess some of the following videos. They are all well done, clever and funny, of course.
Those are a few of my favorites. I hope you enjoy them. It has been tough for me to keep updating my blog regularly, but I will make a better effort to continue to provide all of you an excuse to not do what you originally got on your computer for. After all, what fun is the internet if you cannot get distracted?
Until next time, this is my view from the cheap seats.
Phew one week of classes done, 14 to go. Ok ok, 3 days of classes, but its all the same right? I am mostly moved into my room now so now I have to just get used to my daily schedule, which should not take too long to do.
This last week was great for one reason though, college football has officially started. And though many of my Top 25 teams lost this weekend there should not be too many changes made to it this week.
The ACC is a very weak conference. They did not look any good in any game this weekend, winning only 1 game against a FBS football team. Though it is the league with the most parody, there is no one team that strikes fear into anybody. Tyrod Taylor is not the answer folks.
I did learn a very good lesson on Saturday while at the USC San Jose St. football game. Ungodly heat + too many beers too fast = Extreme dehydration. I should have learned this after last year's USC Virginia football game in Charlotte, Virginia, only there was an added element to that equation, humidity. That made for an unbearable experience, where nearly half of the stadium suffered from heat stroke and dehydration, I wish I was making this up, but it was really bad.
Anyways the game was a Grade A beat down as USC won 56-3. There really is not much to say about this game, other than that 18 year old true freshman Matt Barkley looked really solid in his USC debut, though he does face a very tough Ohio St. team in Columbus, Ohio next week, this is a game that I, and most of the rest of America is very excited to see.
Who did not see the Oregon Boise St. game? LeGarrette Blount's football career may be over, but he does seem to have a promising career as a boxer. It is too bad that such a competitive game is remembered for this incident, but holy cow, what a shot!
There were lots of great games this weekend, including two near upsets of Big 10 schools Iowa,
In non football news, today was the first wiffle ball game of the school year. Though I was losing through 4 1/2 innings it was not finished as we spent close to thirty minutes fine tuning the rules and other issues that may arise with our games. Now that we got most of the issues ironed out, games will occur regularly, and a name for the field will be coming shortly.
Also I leave in 10 days for North Carolina. My cousin is getting married next Friday so it will be fun to see the family and miss a few days of school.
Other fun news: since last "blogging" (that is a stupid word by the way, but it is a rant for another time) I went to the Upright Citizens Brigade. A cheap and funny experience, something extremely rare in LA. We saw Kevin Nealon, and he did about 15 minutes of stand up that night, which was very cool to see up close.
Is it me or is Carrot Top unnecessarily yoked? I just saw him in a commercial and I think that I will have night mares for a while, so naturally I thought that I would share the experience with you. You can thank me later.
If you are able to check out the ESPN the Magazine that is out now (the NFL Preview issue). There were two really interesting articles in it about Bill Belichick and another about Rob Thomas. Unfortunately I cannot find the article online, this was about the best I can do.
Last thing; for those of you who like the paranormal and AM radio check out this show. For those of you in the LA area (Thousand Oaks included) it is on 640 AM from 10 PM to 5 AM.
Ok that should be it for now, I will post a new top 25 and a quick NFL preview later this week. Leave comments with your thoughts, or if there are any other topics you think I should cover...
