"Back to school.....back to school....to show my dad I'm not a fool!"
-Billy Madison

Finals are coming, and I cant say I'm very excited for them. I can say, though, that as far as people in the house go, Im not the least prepared. Seeing my man Joe these next two weeks is going to be interesting. He may disintegrate into a blubbering pool of gelatin by the time tests come around. Poor slob hasn't been very focused this semester. Im sure he will get it together though. Me, I just never feel like Im caught up. No matter how much I know, I can know it better. Two weeks from today we'll see what I've accomplished. Things should be ok.

Speaking of finals, I have 3 open book exams! Most people would see this as a cool thing, but I don't. Open book means they can ask whatever they want. Im totally screwed! God help me....

Ever watch The Daily Show on Comedy Central? Forget real news stations, this is a must watch. Every night at 11 pm, it's satire, sarcasm, and just non-stop comedy. With a sprinkle of real news. Just watch it...

I really hate it when you wait in a line of cars to get on an on ramp, or make a turn or whatever, and then some jackass comes right up to the front and wedges their way in. Why arent we giving these people tickets? Is there anything more rude? I figure, if I can wait, your monkey ass can wait too. What makes you so damn important that we need to stop for you? Forget that...

It really sucks to hear LT say that he was doped up as often as he was. Especially saying he was high during his jersey retirement ceremony....that is just sad. But don't try and tell us that you never used on Sundays, LT. It just isnt possible. So the drug dominated your life, but you were able to say no whenever you wanted....it just doesnt work that way. Dont try and sell me that crap, Im not buying.

Today's Movie Review: The Italian Job
Very good movie. Decent action, some good exchanges between quality actors (Mark Wahlberg has come a long way), and intelligent scams. My biggest problem is the same problem I have with alot of movies in today's internet age. There is always some computer genius who can do just about anything you ask, no matter how ridiculous it is. "Um, we need to control all of the traffic lights in Los Angeles by tomorrow." Genius -- "I'll see what I can do." And of course, he manages to do it with a lap top and a wifi card. Come on. If it were that easy, it would happen every day. It just doesnt work that way, case closed. Big ups to Mos Def in this movie. I love his music, and he holds his own as an actor. I still rate this movie behind The Score and Heist, similar films done better. Still, an enjoyable movie, and worth the rental.

It is freaking Dec 2! Stop with the Christmas music! This is so pathetic. There have been xmas songs on the radio for like 2 weeks! Look, I like christmas, but I like it because it means some time off, relaxing, being with family and friends, and giving. But it has become this commercial monstrosity that is so freaking pathetic. I mean, our country depends on christmas to run the economy. If we shut down christmas, retailers around the world would go out of business. Just read that 1.6 bill will be spent on internet shopping for christmas this year. That is nuts!

On the same subject, I just feel like when i get gifts, I really want them to mean something. I see so many people buying things just so they can "scratch someone off my list." Is that really what it is supposed to be about? I dont think so. Christmas is a chance to tell the people you care about that it's been another year, and I still care! You didnt lose me as a friend in 365 days....congrats! Here's your prize....

Such a tough decision tonight between two reality shows....the Rodman Show, or the Paris Hilton Show? Likely I will watch neither, but that doesnt mean that Paris doesn't have any multimedia products that Im not interested in viewing. Google, help me out....

Sign that 24 might not be as good this year: I remember not going a night without watching a 24 when I had it on DVD. But now, I have episode 3 TiVo'd, and I haven't watched it yet. Meanwhile, episode 4 is on tonight. This season just doesnt have that must see element to it.

Speaking of "must see TV" has a show fallen farther than Friends? What a piece of junk this has become. Slowly, they have made it so that we hate each and every character. They need to take that show off the air before I hate Joey, because he is the only one managing to remain likable. And if Courtney Cox is anything like the Monica character in real life, my sympathies go out to David Arquette. What a nightmare that would be....

I really like pocketwatches. Would that be a pretentious look? I think it might, but Im not sure I care....

So, I see Condoleeza Rice the other day saying that they didnt want people to know where Bush was headed, because they didnt want to bring any danger to the people on the ground when they landed. Riiiight, cause if it's one group of people for whom Bush wants to maintain the utmost in security, it's those people who he sent....over....to a WAR!

Who doesn't love Motown? Screw the Beatles and these other wannabes......give me the Motown sound any day of the week. Timeless.

Im sorry, when did "checkout clerk" at Ralph's become a CAREER? If you are getting paid next to nothing at a job like that, or if you dont think you are getting enough benefits, trust me, there are enough similar jobs out there. Not to mention, if you are getting any benefits, its more than you probably deserve. Its a job, not a career. I hate these fools trying to make me feel guilty for shopping. Look, I didnt tell you to strike, dont make me feel like buying eggs and bread is hurting you. It's not like there are signs saying "1 dollar from every quart of milk you buy goes towards a movement to violently beat any striking employees." If that were the case, I might go to Costco. Until then, move! I need my Funyuns!
