Two.

So I've been back at school and it's been a blast with the exception of having to put back guacamole at Market Basket because I didn't have enough money on my card. Not only was that embarassing in general, but it happened at a Market Basket.

So I know this is quite possibly old news, but I don't care because I just thought of it today and how wonderful it really is.
So I hate a lot of things in life. And normally, I have to keep my opinions to myself. I don't. But...I should. Luckily, it seems to me that one thing I detest happens to be the general consensus for not only my friends, my peers, most strangers I meet, but a lot of influential/loud people in the media too:
Speidi.
Heidi Montag first of all...doesn't know how to be a good friend, which the majority of our youth learned when she screwed over her former BFF. Lauren "LC" Conrad on The Hills.
Now, I don't really give a shit about The Hills, but I do respect Miss Conrad because A. She was on the cover of an issue of CosmoGirl I was featured in, B. She's classy and C. She doesn't care about MTV and just wants to move on and work in the fashion industry and D. she isn't a slut.
I don't appreciate people who mooch off of friends for fame and then go off and annoy the rest of society. I'm pretty sure EVERYONE on reality television is annoying as is. Heidi shouldn't think she's good enough to infest the rest of the world, especially CNN.
I laughed really hard when she tried to make a CD that flopped, even harder when her boyfriend turned husband, Spencer Pratt made a home video of her on the beach which was SUPPOSED to be a music video which was ridiculed, ridiculously hard when Anchor Blue pulled the plug on her "Heidiwood" clothing line, thus smashing her "I want to be like Lauren!" dreams, then I was rendered speechless that her level of idiocy could reach as far as it has when her and Spencer flipped out on "I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Outta Here!" exclaiming about how they shouldn't be on an island because they're beyond that, and angered when they begged the networks to let them back on the island. Now I'm chuckling once more because Heidi performed at a Miss Universe pagaent.
I wouldn't normally know that this happened, but because I watch CNN (and more specifically, Anderson 'havemybabiesplease' Cooper), I now know that the world...really is on my side.

This video is absolutely exemplary of why A. CNN is truth and B. Anderson Cooper is a perfect human being.

Afterwards, Spencer attacked with "I don't know why he'd talk about someone that he doesn't even think exists."
The best little jab afterwards was most definitely when Heidi was being interviewed, the interviewer kindly said she didn't like the outfit...when asked who designed it...all Heidi could say was, "Me."

There are two things I want to say.


One: I'm really glad that if it one day comes to our country having to make a human sacrifice in order to save our population from the apocolypse (or maybe more realistically, someone to be exiled to live elsewhere) we would pick Speidi.
Not only because they typify absolutely everything I hate about high school couples, reality television, skin toned facial hair, and stupidity, but apparently, they already know how to survive in the wilderness:



Two: As much as I would have Anderson Cooper's babies, it wouldn't only be for their ability to talk truthfully about the issues we're faced with, but I'd want them to be able to fly.

DON'T TELL ME THE RESEMBLANCE ISN'T UNCANNY.
( Sam the Eagle from the Muppets & Anderson Cooper)
See? This is a Coop d'hot.

In other news, I've been really hooked on looking at MSNBC's ten years in photos. I suggest you all sneak a peak at these. It will interest almost anybody. These photos were taken by people who just happened to be at the right place at the right time with a really good camera.

It has also spawned my hatred for the Northern Pike fish seen below in this picture taken by Jim Lavrakas of the Anchorage Daily News in 2001 with a swallowed yet, still alive Rainbow Trout stuck inside of him (This is totally my wallpaper at home). What I like about it best (it's picture 11 if you're looking at the slideshow which you should TOTALLY do) is the epic caption written next to it saying:

"After being swallowed, a rainbow trout fingerling peers out from the gullet of a northern pike Jan. 22 in a lobby aquarium exhibit at the Alaska Department of Fish & Game in Anchorage, Alaska. The agency declared "open season" on the illegally transplanted trout-killing, salmon-slaying northern pike in local waterways."

I am absolutely now a fan of MSNBC's fine, descriptive journalism.
"trout-killing, salmon-slaying northern pike"
I can just see the man who wrote these captions breaking several keyboards. Maybe he has a fondness for the rainbow trout. Maybe his father was killed by a Northern Pike (they are meaninglessly harmful).
If by any chance, you ever see one and catch it, by the way, wikipedia advises to immediately chop off its head.

Wow, maybe wikipedia and MSNBC should team up and write a piece on Speidi.
THAT would be wonderful.


And finally, today is 09/09/09. Which is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and play:

BEATLES ROCKBAND

Which is not only the greatest game ever made, but comes with exact replicas of their instruments. The one thing that pisses me off, as an occasional gamer is once more the neglect for older systems like PS2 which are honestly still good and not nearly as antiquated as the original Play Stations or Nintendos.

So not only will I either be forced to upgrade or play at a friends' for Beatles Rockband, but I'll also be missing out on Rockstar North's new installment of Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony.

Oh well. Until next time, happy living!
