The Best of Both Worlds...

Next time some one suggests that Europeans are some how more sophisticated and cultured than Americans just show them this.



I kid of course. There’s plenty of legitimate reasons to thumb our noses at Europe, but Lordi did win the Eurovision Song Contest with a record 292 points with the above song (the video above being the performance), so that says a lot about the European Union.

The job search continues… or begins really. The pickings are slim at the moment, but things are on the verge of getting dire. It seems as if my mother’s work place may be closing down sooner than later so I need something and fast. It always feels like there’s no good news on the horizon, but maybe that’s just silly.

Speaking of the news, why are we as a country fretting over Obama’s choice of dog? Who could possibly take America seriously after this? Not to mention PETA members offering up deadly little sentiments to the Bidens for making the same mistake. If I was a slightly more reactionary person I would fire bomb a dog shelter, and shoot anything that tried to escape.

Honestly what the hell has American news come to? It seems that we are a nation obsessed with “news worthy” items like the octo-mom. It’s just another round of parade the freak, but when an MSNBC news anchors makes a comments like “… trying her best to look like Angelina Jolie” who can we turn to? They’re now making snarky comments on major news conglomerates! And people always talk crap about Fox News (not that I watch it), but does fair and balanced mean a thing whether it‘s MSNC, CBS, or any other source of news? It’s all useless garbage.

On an odd side note I saw the Hannah Montana movie today. My father was taking my sister and her 4 year old daughter so I decided to tag along. I wanted to see Observe and Report, but the times conflicted. I feel weird for saying this, but I actually really enjoyed myself. Every one did in fact. It was your standard kid’s comedy formula, but it all worked about as well as it could, and they did my favorite kid’s comedy gag… the one where the main character has to be at two different diner events so they spend the whole time changing clothes and thinking up excuses to leave the room. Only this time it included a black dude pulling a ferrite out of his pants, a table catching on fire, and an implied nut chomping. For a kids film you could do a lot worse. In a world of constant negativity at least Hannah Montana has a positive vibe.


Well this concludes my first entry. Me out!
