Tonight while watching the news, it talked about individuals outsourcing their personal needs out to people in India. It's a woman in India's job to update this Canadian guy's facebook status. I was left speechless after that story.
My brother was recently looking for an Edmonton rapper when he stumbled across another by the name of Teddy Panache. When trying to find a YouTube video to send to a friend of a song he liked, he discovered that some scenes were shot in the gymnasium of my church. Turns out he is the son of a pastor at an affiliated church. Anyways, enjoy this awesome song. I have an unconfirmed theory. It is that, contrary to the garbage they try to pass as music may have you believe, the Black Eyed Peas are trying to make the world a better place by education the children. How's that for a run on sentence? How are the BEPs teaching the children anything other than how to live an excessive lifestyle? Well lets focus on Fergie and her first album for a moment. In her song "Glamorous" the spelling of the word is repeated several times throughout the song, letter by letter. The use of repetition helps in ingraining the spelling of glamorous into the brain of any listener. Merely sounding out the word in the past has lead me astray several times, replacing the middle 'o' with an 'e', and I'm sure the difficult 'ous' ending must trip up some. No longer however thanks to Fergie. But she didn't stop there, and she even let Will i am in on the fun in her song Fergalicious. "I'm the F to the E, R, G, the I, the E" is in the song as learning the spelling of you teacher's name is very important. Later in the song Will chimes in with "T to the A, to the S-T-E-Y". Adding a new word to children's vocabulary is also important so they don't always stay with the same old simple words. The education theme continued into the BEP's latest album in the song "I Gotta Feeling". Late in the song the group chants the days of the week: "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Saturday to Sunday". What a fun and creative way to learn the days of the week! Thank you Black Eyed Peas for enriching your music with such valuable, essential skills.
 Smarties has introduced new, no artificial colouring for the tasty milk chocolate treat. It has come at a cost however, eliminating both the blue and green colour. I am saddened by this news, but to be honest with you, it's not going to change my life a whole lot, infact, probably not at all. I became suspect of the change when I noticed that I got neither blue or green in several "fun size" boxes (why do they call them fun size???) and did not receive any blue. It turns out blue "and subsequently green" are "proving very difficult to find a non artificial" version of. The reason behind the change is they are "addressing a consumer trend to healthier lifestyles..." But something tells me that the people who eat Smarties are not the ones concerned about living out a healthier lifestyle. So it turns out that the fine people at Smarties are working hard to finding a blue and green colour for their Smarties, in the mean time we will just have to suck it up and eat our pink, red, orange, yellow, and everyone'd favourite brown.
Mother told me today that I was going to have the thickest facial hair of anyone in my family. She could tell. This is unfortunate as my facial hair is sparse at best at this point in my life. Unlike that kid in grade seven whose moustache could rival Tom Selleck's...
Due to globe trotting, irregular shift hours, and a broken digital camera I have had to resort to using my brother's old point and shoot film camera. I have no idea how to use it in the right way. ast time I used film my pictures all turned out grainy, fuzzy and generally bad. I hope to have a couple photos up soon (once I go and get them developed).
 When I first heard about China modifying the weather to make the sky blue for the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, I thought it was just another myth like Utah sending all the homeless people to Hawaii for their Olympics. However, while reading the newspaper yesterday, it told of how Beijing had snow 10 days earlier than usual and how this was caused by an attempt to create more precipitation on the dry farmland by cloud seeding. The gist of how it works is that they shoot silver dioxide and frozen carbon dioxide into the atmosphere either from the ground or by plane. The process is called cloud seeding. Would it be considered ironic that the clouds have to be seeded so it can rain on the seeds to make them grow? When it rains, is that considered harvest? Things to ponder... It turns out Australia has been doing tests on this method of weather modification since the 1960's. Anyways, not any deep new insight, I was just astounded by this information and thought I would let you know.
While leaving work tonight I walk past a trendy, high society, duelling piano restaurant. I peak in and see a short fat man with huge sideburns, professionally performing "I Got a Feeling". I wont lie, I kind of wanted to throw up.
In case the snuggie wasn't a stupid enough idea, here's the Snuggie for dogs. What the freak? Happy Halloween by the way. Melissa Joan Hart, former Sabrina star gets told by Jimmy Kimmel and left speechless after getting the boot form Dancing With The Stars. This one is particularly funny to me as an avid ABC's TGIF follower during the late 90's. Fast forward to about a minute in. |
