I very rarely review movies, cause simply: I never go to the theatre, so why review something that is 2 years old? But last night, I watched Pineapple Express. I saw the trailer for the movie and I knew I had to see it. {Thanx Myspace} I promise, no spoilers.
I laughed, there was alot of funny parts. Seth Rogen is always funny to me and James Franco was excellent. I could have done without Danny McBride, he was just not that comical or believable as a drug supplier. Gary Cole is the definitive bad guy..but Rosie Perez as a corrupt cop was too much.
All and all, I give it a 4 1/2 out of 5. It was worth the $20, and I will watch it again.

Have you been seeing dead people lately? No I don't mean Ralph Nader. But you could be drinking too much coffee. Or anything with too much caffeine in it. Researchers at the University of Durham suggest that too much caffeine intake can lead to hallucinations. So if you've been hearing voices and seeing things that are not there...maybe you should cut back on the caffeine.
Where have the youth of this country gone?
In Pennsylvania, 3 teenage girls were charged with 'sexting'. Another new term to learn from the youth: the teenage girls sent nude pictures through their cell phones to 3 teenage boys. The girls were 14 and 15, while the boys were 16 and 17.
What the fuck?
School officials first seized a cell phone from one of the student while they were using it during school hours. So, you're stupid enough to use your phone during school hours. Or at least stupid enough to get caught. The pictures were found on that phone, and after the police investigated, found the other 5.
I remember how high school is. But seriously? This is disrespectful of both the girls and the guys.
I don't think children under 18 should have a cell phone. I know there are reasons disagreeing with that, but this is what happens when you give your child their own phone. They either use massive amount of minutes, use the camera/camcorder to do something illegal..or worse. Giving them a phone for an emergency isn't sufficient enough. Children don't exactly know what an emergency entails.
And now you have 6 teenagers charged with child pornography.

In a Washington court rules that teachers can have sex with an 18 year old student. The state law only bars teacher having sexual contact with students 16 or 17. That is a technicality that should not be changed. You are their teacher; they learn from you. having sex with them is just wrong and perverted. Just because they are "of-age" does not make it right.
Also, doctors are looking into the idea that humans can tell their partner is sexually aroused by the scent of their sweat. That may be true, but I surely do not know any one that smells their partner, and knows that they are in the mood. Ridiculous. Fore more info: Fox News.
And I just found out that Taylor Swift is going to be on CSI soon. Love Taylor, and love CSI!! How awesome!

Now on Mondays, I will bring you an artist of the week. Most likely going to be someone I found on Myspace. Or more often than not: they found me.
This week, I bring you Ross Lara. If you like Pop or Trance..you'll love Ross. If you just wanna hear a great beat to dance to..Ross is your guy. Ross is a producer-songwriter and DJ, making such songs as "Loves It", "Say Goodbye" with Chelsea Lee, "Mercury Haze", and my personal favorite: "Friday Night". Now mostly based in Orlando, Florida, Ross has played for Barack Obama and opened for such DJs and Paul van Dyk and BT. He is very talented and I am anxiously awaiting his debut EP with SECTR 24, out this month.

In Australia, mouthwash was linked to oral cancer. Doctors found that some people got oral cancer and had no other risk factors but using mouthwash containing alcohol. Some mouthwashes contain up to 26% of alcohol! And it is suppose to be safe for children to use? Thank you, Crest, for making non-alcohol mouthwash. Something tells me their sells will go up.

It is common cold season! Preventing the cold could be as easy as getting more sleep. Researchers found that people who regularly sleep 8 hours a night are more immune to getting sick. Your cell level boosts while you sleep, making you less susceptible to colds. Good news for people like me who get sick every winter. Read more at Fox News.
If you are not great at sleeping, meaning you have insomnia. Or you just wake up 50 times a night like me. There is something that may help you get over your cold faster: Exercising! Sweating out a cold by exercising will help your immune system fight it out quicker. If you go to a gym, make sure to wash your hands and wipe whatever equipment you use.

I decided to move my Weekly Video blog to Saturdays. So here's a little funny from Orenfilm
Good news for those who have an addiction to Tetris like me: playing Tetris can reduce the flashbacks caused by Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
British doctors tested PTSD patients, letting them play Tetris for 10 minutes, and found that those patients had fewer flashbacks than those patients who did nothing. With fewer flashbacks, people suffering from PTSD may be able to sleep and concentrate easier. Tetris also showed to not wipe out the memory of the traumatic event, but let the patient make sense of the event, without disturbing them.
A study that is actually useful! I have met many people with PTSD {my uncle being one of them}, so anything that can help them is wonderful.

Scientists say that if kids play outside 2/3 hours a day, it would reduce the risk of them becoming near-sighted, thus the need of glasses. "Professor Ian Morgan of the Australian Research Council’s Vision Center said he believes sunlight triggers the release of dopamine, which prevents eyeball from distorting." I was a kid that loved to play outside, and did so most of the day, and I still became near-sighted around the time I turned 6, so maybe this is true, and maybe this just another bored scientist.

- Researchers found that coffee reduces the risk for cancers in the mouth. I'm a bit taken aback by that, but hey, if you can trust anyone with studies about cancer, you can trust the Japanese. Coffee can also ruin your teeth enamel, so take your pick: cancer or enamel?
- While driving to work today, I heard on the radio, that Hyundai will accept your new car if you lose your job. Yep, if you become unemployed within a year after buying a Hyundai, they will accept it. Better than losing your car due to a repo.
- How does a baby get thrown out with the trash at a hospital? I'm pretty suspicious of this story, there are a few missing pieces, and frankly I do not believe it. It is pretty despicable. Read more at Fox News.
I was close to writing about orgasms during childbirth, but as this caused me to slightly hurl in my mouth, I decided not to. If that is interesting to you, you can read more at FoxNews.
So instead, I came across an article about Big Hollywood, a blog premiering tomorrow. Its mission is to change the entertainment industry. Andrew Breitbart, wants to return Hollywood to its moral and patriotic roots. I support that.
As Breitbart puts it "Until conservatives, libertarians and Republicans - who will be the lion’s share of Big Hollywood’s contributors - recognize that (pop) culture is the big prize and that politics is secondary, there will be no victory in this important battle."
So remember to check it out tomorrow yall!

Well, the list goes:

A man in New Orleans decided instead of paying child support, he would kill the child. I use the word 'man' lightly.
22 year old Danny Platt was ordered to pay child support of his 2 and 1/2 year old son, Ja' Shawn Powell. But rather than be responsible, he vowed death to the mother or his own child. On Friday, he picked the boy up {his first time visiting with him}, then told police the boy was kidnapped while he was taking care of him.
Later on, he confessed to police and told them where the boy's body was.
This is sick, surprising, no, but I am utterly disgusted. I'm at a loss for words at how this thought could enter someone's mind. Let alone, commit it.

Stop that thinking right now! Thinking too hard can make you fatter.
Canadian researchers studied students in 3 different ways: while sitting, reading, and doing computer tests. After each activity, the students were taken to a buffet. Turns out you eat more after you've been thinking.
That could explain alot to me. I do tend to think too much. Maybe that is why rednecks aren't fat? Ooo I went there!
The study was pretty useless because your brain uses glucose to fuel itself, so if you been using your brain by thinking, you're using glucose right? Well if you've used glucose then you have to eat to get the glucose balance level again. I only have a high school degree and I figured that out.

Surprise, surprise! 2009 has started with a bang, and almost literally. Cincinnati has already had its first murder of the year, happening after midnight. Charles Barkley was arrested for suspicion of DUI. Crime is the word today.
What a way to start out a new year. A new leaf. I was drinking, but I wasn't driving. I guess I should have jumped on that train quickly. Except I am not stupid, not a drunker, nor a driver. Maybe I'm the only one thinking.
Every year when the ball drops, it's a way to make a new start for yourself. And starting it in jail, is probably not the best ways. So good work!

I just wanted to take the time to say thank you to every one who read this blog. It means alot to me so thank you so very much. and Fuck You :D
2008 is ending tonight and it's been a year of ups and downs for me as it has for everyone. I think the big highlight of the year was getting the job that I have kept since March 22. As much heartache as it has caused me {and more}, it has been steady income for me. And through this job, I have met so many great people, and refueled my knowledge in the idiocy of people.
This is the year of my first stitches. The outside scar that will always reminds me of that day in July when I stupidly cut myself while emptying trash.
2008 was also the first election I was able to vote in, and seeing as it was a presidential election, it made it even more special. I feel like because of this, I became more political, and at least a little more knowledgeable about the world and the political world.
I started this blog this year and in its on way, made me more intelligible about politics and the entertainment business. I hope 2009 brings more for me.
Which brings me to some resolutions for 2009. I've never really set aside resolutions and tried to work on them, but maybe this year can change that. I want to start:

There are many sequels in the works in the news lately.
Andrew Lloyd Webber says the sequel to the Phantom of the Opera, called Phantom: Love Never Dies, should be ready for a late 2009 release. He also hopes that the musical could open simultaneously in 3 cities: NY, London, and an Asian city. The setting for the sequel will be moved to NY's Coney Island and 10 years after the original. I fell in love with the 2004 film version and unfortunately I never got to see it in theatre, but I'm excited for this and I hope I get to see it. Little nervous since it's been 23 years since he remade the original.
There's going to be an 8th Police Academy movie! Honestly, the last 3 weren't very good, but I'm hopeful for this one. Everyone {reportedly} will return except for Tackleberry and Feldman, who was in the 4th movie. Producers are even trying to get Kim Cattrall and Sharon Stone back. Now those 2 I can live without, but why not make another Police Academy? Hollywood ain't coming up with anything else halfway original anyway.
A 3rd Meet the Parents movie is in the works. 'Little Fockers' will hopefully have everyone from the first 2 movies. Meet the Fockers wasn't a horribly bad movie, but it wasn't great. Maybe the 3rd movie will round out the series on a good note? It could be good.
Also, casting is in the works for the 4th Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Russell Brand may star as Johnny's Depp brother. Why does Disney feel the need to keep making sequels to movies? They're ruining the greatness of the original. I thought 'At World's End' was a great ending for the series. It wrapped up everything from the first 2, so what is the 4th movie going to accomplish? Please, don't make this movie!

I am not here to judge everyone. I do not have that right.
With that said, I was deeply hurt, and slightly offended when I read about this fabricated Holocaust memoir. The fact that anybody would lie about anything to do with the Holocaust cuts deep into my soul. I have read many Holocaust memoirs myself and it is hard not to rethink that maybe something was amiss in those books.
I normally do not even read anything that has Oprah's name attached to it, but this sickened me enough to read it. Now Oprah's been doped before, so I am not surprised by that.
Just for the record: I am not Jewish.
