No, Ted Haggard, you’re just gay.

In defense of 'Slumdog.'
A great piece from my friend Rohin. For the record, I agree.

Incidentally, this is the first year in ever that I’ve actually got a movie I’m rooting for to win Best Picture. Opposite to that year when I had a movie I was rooting to not win Best Picture.

Six months later, still listening to her album. Loves her.
Keeping the New Years Resos
So in keeping with one component of my balls to the wall New Years resolution, I’ve really kept up with my reading, focusing mostly on the classics. Thus far, I’ve got:
1.) Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand
2.) A View From the Bridge, by Arthur Miller
3.) The Tales of Beetle the Bard, by JK Rowling (I said mostly the classics)

American Idol no matter how much your winners suck, I will always come back. (Ok ok, I admit it! Yes I would have hot monkey sex with David Cook, sue me.)
Just watch it please. I died last night. Died. Idol auditioner Akilah Askew-Gholston is my god damn hero.

“We ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to give back, when brown can stick around, when yellow will be mellow, when the red man can get ahead, man, and when white will embrace what is right,” Lowery prayed.

You can plan, plan, plan to your heart’s content, but then an old woman comes along to screw it all up.

…but it’s cool because I also ordered Outliers.
It is cool…right? RIGHT????
Wishing for something I don't deserve.
Sitting here thinking about work tomorrow, it dawned on me how incredibly lazy I am. For more than five years, I’ve been talking about writing a book - I have a concept, a good list of chapters, a title. Yet, every single moment of free time I have is spent on everything other than writing.
Take this three-day weekend for example. I literally had nothing but time to write and it could...

I guess I have never thought about this, but that makes this whole story even more extraordinary…
How much does a regular plane weigh? Jesus!

I’ll cop to not watching most of this - mostly because I like to avoid being confused whenever possible. Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I can’t help but think this has to be very, very weird/bad.

Celebrity Spotting: Blake Lively and Penn Badgely
I usually remain pretty non-plussed when I see celebrities, but have to cop to be extraordinarily pleased with my sighting of Penn Badgely and Blake Lively at the Kip’s Bay movie theater last night.
At first, I thought Penn was making out with another girl when I saw him standing around one second, and then in full-on mouth contact with a blonde who came bounding out of the bathroom and...

I mean, that commercial is so convincing!
On shitting yourself in public.
So, I just learned last night that there was a story I missed from the National Championship game. The tale of a too-drunk sorority girl who got caught popping a squat, tried to flirt her way out of it - but failed….because she had SHIT HERSELF and was walking around with shit on her leg and a trail of turds leading back to the scene of her crime.
Unfortunately for this poor soul, what...

The very first piece of the video is the most clear.
Is it weird that I hope all of these people start an annual reunion where they all bring their families and loved ones out and take one day out a year to love life? Kind of like a happier version of that failed TV show The Nine?
