They Don't Deserve The Title.

"Living someone else's life is more difficult than living your own."

  It kills me when I go on Wikipedia and I see Dane Cook listed as a comedian and film actor. He is an amazing comedian, but an extremely sub-par actor. I hate the favoritism people attain because they have a special talent. Dane Cook, you're hilarious, but don't ruin your reputation by acting in weak films. He does not add any depth in any movies that he has done (Employee of the Month, Good Luck Chuck...). And let me bring in his costar in Employee of the Month, Jessica Simpson. Jessica, you know you have no acting skills whatsoever, so please go back to, umm, was it singing?

Many movies lately have recruited beauty over talent. For some movies, however, it's not that bad.

   Megan Fox, you can star in as many films as you like. But your title should be model, not actress. I can't really judge your acting, because you haven't really done any. In the Transformer movies and How To Lose Friends and Alienate People, you boosted the audience just by looking good. If not for you Transformers 2 would have bombed. But, in all your movies, you don't do much, which leads me to the conclusion you are not very good at acting. If you were, maybe they would have given you a line in the movie.

   Another beautiful actor that can't really perform is Adrian Grenier (Vince from Entourage). Don't get me wrong, I do think Entourage is fantastic, and I enjoy watching Vince and the boys partying. But when they try to bring Entourage to the dramatic episodes, Vince still manages to keep the show humorous. Last season, when Vince couldn't find a job, the show seemed to get serious. However, like my friend said, he laughed whenever Vince screamed. Entourage should stick to the fun life, we all enjoy it that way.

-Some actors that are surprisingly good: Miley Cyrus and Justin Timberlake.
-More actors to be added later.

The Flavors.

My first theory goes like this: If you ask a hundred people if they like Cookie Dough ice cream, ninety nine of them will say yes. It's just so hard to find someone that doesn't like it. I don't know how they do it, but it's just unbelievable. On my next topic, Root Beer is either loved or disliked. No one just likes Root Beer, they love it. I'm a devout Root Beer fan, and anything with that flavor (ices, lollipop, etc.) I will get excited. My next thought is that frozen ices are disastrous in comparison to fresh ices. When you eat frozen ices, you constantly have to take those awkward bites that make you look like a retard because you don't want to get teeth freeze. They lose their flavor and you end up getting messy. They need to create ices where they don't get hard after being frozen. Anyways, to my next topic, which I'm sure I will have many people who disagree, is the cherry flavor. I hope to make it to Congress in the future just so I can accomplish my one goal: Ban cherry flavors of all kind. I don't understand how anyone can like cherry flavor anything. Although I don't agree with the "it tastes like medicine" idea, I think it is horrible. South Park summed it up when Randy said in response to a cherry Pop Tart, "Eww, cherry." It shouldn't be mixed in with our Jolly Ranchers, our ices, or any other candy. The only cherry anything we should have are cherry coke and real cherries.

Facebook Whores.

It kills me to write about this, being that I have been involved for a little, but the Facebook whoring has got to stop. I am writing this because a friend has requested me to do so, but I agree with him on this manner. Facebook should be used for people to talk to someone who they recently met or for college kids to keep in touch. What it has become is a popularity contest for people who don't really have friends and need to feel good about themselves by being friends with everyone possible. Or, it could be for girls who put their profile picture up just so they can receive comments like "omg so pretty" even though half the times you want to tell them to be honest for once in their life. Or, it has become a place where people feel the need to share their every day activity with us. I'm sorry but we don't need to know that you're hungry or is bored at work (I got those ideas from checking my homepage; these statuses are real.) Of course commenting here and there on someone's wall that they miss them or to comment on a picture of a party that they went to is acceptable, but to a certain extent. I don't want to on my homepage people leaving videos on someone's wall saying that "they should hang out cuz I miss you. K bye." Stop ruining social networking. I'm not saying that any of us have anything to do in life, but at least don't waste it on complete bull shit. You're not special if someone comments on your status or if you have over a thousand friends. I have so much more to write about this, but it's long enough as it is. The whoring has got to stop! (Unless you're hot and put up pictures or you constantly write funny statuses)

Federer V. Roddick

Even for the people who don't like tennis, you have to admit that game was better than any NBA Finals or World Series game (I'll leave out the Super Bowl). It was tough to even decide who to root for. The American or the Greatest. Do you want to witness history or do you want to have that patriotic feel good attitude. As the thirty game fifth set was going on, I didn't know what to be thinking. The first thought in my head was why couldn't Federer break Roddick. He's supposedly, and in my opinion, the best player ever and he can't break Roddick, who is known to choke under pressure. But the truth is, you have to hand it to Roddick for holding in there. After seeing his expression after he lost, you felt his pain. He wanted it so badly, but he just couldn't beat the champ. Either way, he deserved that standing ovation after his defeat; he gave us one of the greatest matches ever played.

The Half Turn.

In my opinion, the half turn is credible and should be allowed, depending on the circumstances. The half turn is when someone gives a look back in disgust and contempt, but does not go the full hundred eighty degrees. It is  usually utilized to shut up someone or a group of people are talking in a loud manner. If you're in a movie theater and a bunch of idiots are talking in back of you, then the turn is necessary to keep them quiet. But if there's two people whispering to each other in a boring speech and someone who wants to feel important gives you the patronizing look, then it does not work. When the turn is made, the eyes have to meet and you have to make sure they know they're beat. The turn is tough to master, because you might be laughed at. But if it's used correctly and at the right time, the half turn is a valuable asset.

Deadland.

The question asked daily: what do you want to do tonight? The reply often goes like this: I don't know, maybe dinner or a movie. The ideas have run out for everyone, or maybe just for me. If it's not dinner then it's a movie in theaters, and if not in theaters then by someone's house. We've all formed a routine of nothingness at nights. If only we can think like the movies, where they get involved in a bar fight, get robbed by a prostitute, and skinny dip with a complete stranger. But it's not like that, so that leaves the last popular option, drinking/party. That is obviously the best option of the three, but it still leaves us with only three options. Partying is fun on occasions, but, like dinner and movies, we just get tired of it (plus it doesn't happen every night).  Nights are too typical.

Ripoffs.

Public Enemies was  a suspenseful, deep, and action packed movie. Johnny Depp had his usual sexiness and I recommend the film. From what I hear, My Sister's Keeper was a tearfest, and most people enjoyed it. Our first thoughts in our mind is: wow, they sure made a good movie. But then we realize that movies today get worse and worse. For those who didn't know, Public Enemies is a remake of an old James Cagney film. My Sister's Keeper is, as we all know, based on the novel by Jodi Picoult. Aren't there people who are paid to write movies? Did those "creative thinkers" just disappear and decided to be as unoriginal as possible? Enough with the remakes, I don't care how good they are. The fact is, their movies don't help entertainment in any way. We have made progress in the technological and directing sector, so why can't we improve on the screenplay aspect?

Bye Bye Michael. Please.

The King of Pop is dead. I know you've all probably heard that phrase many times over the last two weeks and are probably getting tired of the Michael Jackson story, because I know I am. All that has been on the news was the Jackson story. I'm not taking away from his greatness; he was an unbelievable singer and dancer and helped change music forever. But that was thirty years ago. The new Michael was a drug-addict, an alleged pedophile, and overall just a troubled man. We should've had a memorial for him when he stopped making music. All I'm wondering about right now is where's the Farrah Fawcett memorial, or better yet, the Billy Mays memorial. Michael, you were great at what you did, and nothing more. And BET, I don't understand why you're giving a tribute to him. The last time I looked he had white skin, and I never heard of any disease that changes someone's race.
