wtf?

I am a fan of the Philadelphia Phillies, so naturally when they lost in the NLCS to the Giants i was pretty upset.  I was also fairly certain that this world series would be watched by practically no body.  My gut was half-right.  While stumbling through Yahoo News i found this article that stated that Justin Bieber would be airing his new music video during game three of the world series.  I understand that the ratings for the world series were supposed to be low but now these games can't even stand on their own merit because most annoying pre-pubescent girls and confused pre-pubescent boys(i might have fallen into this group if this happened when i was six, after all i was a fan of NSYNC) tuned in to see this pretentious douchebag sing a song that a monkey wrote, like literally a monkey writes his songs.  "Oh but John you're so ignorant i bet you'll never be as famous as he is".  One might say.  No i'm not ignorant, i just know a fad when i see one

my review of the social network

when i first heard that a movie about the creation of facebook was going to be in theaters by the end of the year.  My first thought was "what the fuck, there's no need."  However a week or two before it was coming out i began to be intrigued about what the movie would be focusing on.  Finally i decided to see and it and see it i did.  When i left my first thought was "damn, mark zuckerberg is kind of a badass even though he's kind of a douchebag."  The movie basically tells the story of facebook while Mark Zuckerberg(Jesse Eisenberg) is being sued in two separate lawsuits, one from The Winklevoss twins(Armie Hammer) and his former best friend Eduardo Saverin(Andrew Garfield).  David FIncher directs another damn fine movie, although maybe not as fine as fight club but good nonetheless.  The acting was very good and the story is told phenomenally. I must say it was a good time even though i had my doubts

Last friday marked the 70th birthday of John Lennon, who is one of the greatest musicians that have ever existed on this planet.  At least it would've been his 70th birthday if Mark David Chapman hadn't taken Catcher in the Rye incredibly out of context.  Its a dandy book but the book doesn't make me feel like i should kill Justin Beiber, Bieber's "music" does a good job of producing those homicidal thoughts. But i digress, Lennon's birthday was celebrated all around the world including the strawberry fields in central park.  Lennon's solo work also appears to have been released/released on itunes.  I assume released because Yoko Ono wasn't digitally removed from the album covers.  There were also a bunch of happy birthday youtube videos from the likes of Ringo Starr, i believe and assuming Paul McCartney and other "musicians" such as the Jonas Brothers.  Well as the song goes "No one i think is reading these posts." oh wait, that's not right

New Earth

A new planet was discovered roughly 20 lightyears away.  However this planet discovery is different from other recently discovered is that this planet may be perfect to sustain life.  Specifically human life.  The planet(Gilese 581g) is close enough to the sun so that water wouldn't evaporate but not far away so  water wouldn't completely freeze, just like earth.  It is up to speculation whether or not life may already be on the planet.  Its also upfor speculation whether water is even on the planet.  However it is comforting to know there are earthlike planets out there for the day we have to leave ours
