Weeds Season 4!

About 4 months ago I was introduced to Weeds. It is a show about a widowed mother who starts to sell weed to make ends meet in a California suburb. It is a dark comedy with awesome humor! I recommend this show to anybody that likes a good laugh. Every character is truly interesting and CRAZY. The actions and comments made by the characters will make you laugh until you cry. Its entertaining and the plot is amazing. Season 4 starts June 16th (Monday's) on Showtime at 9pm central time. Here is a link to a few clips from season 3...let me know what you think!

Hi.

So this is my first post. :]

The topic? music of course. because it is life.

Alright, so the other night, I'm watching 27 Dresses (good movie)...and lo and behold I hear this song in it and I'm just overwhelmed with so many emotions. So I looked it up.

"Be Here Now" by Ray La Montagne

And then I downloaded it because it was so great. Why was it great? Glad you asked! :)

You know when your going through a hard time and everything hits you at once...and there is nothing you can do about it? You have tried absolutley everything and cannot pull yourself out of this gloomy feeling/situation...anything...it could be anything. This song was my epiphany. It just gave me this message to be encouraged in whatever I do. It was like screaming "Get up off your butt!" Don't think about the past and what you lost...don't even look far into the future, because that results in expecting too much. BE HERE NOW. Look at the present and where you're at. Is this where you want to be? For me that answer was a definite no so I am getting myself busy and doing what needs to be done...or at least trying very hard :) . Have faith that things will work out. That things will fall into place the way they should be. Happiness lies inside of you...you are the only one that can make yourself happy...don't depend on other people. So cheers to that, and Carpe Diem.

With love,

WBN♥

N.E.R.D.'s new single sounds like crack...

N.E.R.D.'s new album "Seeing Sounds" comes out June 10th, and i'd like to pre-celebrate by presenting you with their new single, "Everyone Nose."

The song is about female cocaine users in clubs! Hooray, kids!

I love N.E.R.D., but this song makes me feel like i've been taking Speed for years or something.

False Action by Police?

So, the Texas Supreme Court ruled this week that the police officers in west Texas did not have enough evidence to take over 400 children from a polygamist ranch. All of the children were released and given back to their parents. The officers and Child Protective Services said that they were trying to end child abuse against the girls who were forced to have sex with older men.

I read a month or so ago that many of the children didn't know who their parents were because this "religious" way of living requires that every women be a mother to every child. The men in the ranch said that they were being wrongfully punished because of their religious beliefs. Do they have protection under the First Amendment to carry out polygamist actions?

The United States Supreme court has ruled on this type of case already. They ruled a similar case with Mormon's in West U.S. saying that these actions were not okay. It should be very interesting to see if the U.S. Supreme Court picks up this case. It would bring a whole new ruling to religious actions and child custody laws.

It seems to me that there is something wrong with this. I know we live in a free country but it is sick. There are a few men that sleep with several women and these women are as young as 14-16 years old. This alone should be looked at as violating the law (many religious groups feel they can go around laws because their religious freedoms. This is wrong!!!!). Then, all the women act as mothers to all the children. I don't know the full details of how this religion works but there should be religious boundaries. I am all for religious freedom...but some actions should be regulated. My philosophy is every person has their own beliefs. There are hundreds of different religions and then their are laws. Especially in a country like the U.S. every religion can't be pleased. It comes down to compromising and trying to be fair to the citizen of the United States. The government should be able to regulate religious actions as long as they are not interfering with religious beliefs. This is what it comes down to.

Thought?

oh leggings!

various definitions of "leggings" (according to urbandictionary haha):
1. these are cute stockings that are a 2006 revival of eighties fashion.
2. Definitely not pants. (supposed to be work-out clothes)

okay so not only are college girls wearing these leggings as pants, but celebs are too!
according to definition number 2, they are meant to be somewhat like undergarments-not everday all-around-town wear.
Yeah, they are a cute revival of 80's fashion...but at least wear them under a skirt or a dress- then you can easily call it a cute outfit.
Whatever you do, please don't wear them alone....and esp. not with a short tee! ew.
Come on ladies-let's not degrade ourselves to work-out-looking styles EVERYDAY.

exhibit a (below): cute, cute, cute, and cute! these celebs know how to dress their leggings!


exhibt b (below): no, no! everything is wrong with the way these leggings are portrayed! not to sound harsh, but she is a model, everyone comes in different shapes, forms, and sizes. In other words, not everyone looks like that when they wear leggings as pants and a tiny tee. So just be on the safe side and don't let all the junk you have in your trunk-literally-hang out and about! please. :)

until next time--

yours truly,

Funny Commercials 1: "It's working!"

Okay so, I watch a lot of tv. And though I have a Tivo, it's inevitable that I have to watch tons of horrible commercials. So when I come across one that is truly funny, it's worth mentioning. Check out this one for hotels.com. I have no idea what it is, but the ad is utterly hilarious.

Review: Angels in America

I heard about this HBO miniseries a few years ago when it won 37328462837 awards. It was adapted for the small screen by Tony Kushner, based on his Pulitzer Prize winning play of the same name. The drama follows several people living in New York during the 1980s and deals with the AIDS epidemic and the Reagan administration. If you are homophobic or conservative I would recommend you stay away, but everyone else should it at any cost.

It totals to almost 6 hours and can’t be watched in one sitting, but is broken up nicely into 6 chapters. The acting throughout is incredible. The standout performance for me was Justin Kirk. You may know him as the sex-crazed, lackadaisical uncle from Weeds, but his performance here as a gay man suffering from AIDS shows his excellent dramatic ability. The rest of the cast includes Al Pacino, Meryl Streep, Emma Thompson, Ben Shenkman, Mary-Louise Parker, Jeffrey Wright and Patrick Wilson. Fun fact: many of the actors play multiple roles in the film, try and spot them before the credits!

Here's a bootleg trailer:

GREEK makes me want to rush a sorority. True story.

This post is basically a shameless, free advertisement for a show I just got into this summer.

After watching the second to last episode of the season, I decided it needs more fan base and deserves a random post.

I'll give you 5 reasons to watch it:

1. Cappie will be your hero - His soliloquies and his shenanigans should be enough to make you swoon. You will fall in love with him - and hard.

2. It's hilarious - The dialogue is actually 30 times better than most teen dramas. Yes, approximately 30 times better. It's not that usual, sugary watered down shit you'd usually see on network television. I'm not even sure why it's on ABC Family...

3. You can relate - Any college kid can relate to this show - the parties, the relationships, the roommates, the "first times." Yeah, they do dip into Greek life, hence the name, but its pretty much just about college's awkward situations in general. Good deal.

4. The Drama - And extra helpings of it. The plots are PRETTY good. And for the most part, believable. That's always a plus. There's no super rich kids from Cali or NY who are suddenly finding themselves at the hands of murder or anything like that... It's not that dramatic.

5. Hot guys/hot girls - It's a win win situation for all!

Convinced? Watch it now. Thank me later.

nike says "just do it", but really...don't.

S here,

so there's a new fashion trend (if you can call it that) that is sweeping the nation (or mainly just college campuses).

many girls are strutting around in their nike shorts (see above image).

Okay so "many" is a loose term.

That is besides the point, the point is...whether to class, or just around, girls are wearing these nike shorts....everywhere.

Okay so upon researching, they come in about 40 different colors and they are about thirty dollars a pair.

I know right? About thirty dollars per pair? Whoa.

many girls i know own at least 3 or 4 pairs. That's about 90 dollars on shorts.

That 90 dollars could have gone to better use, no doubt.

I mean who even started this "so-called" trend?

summary:
1. I dont find them fashionable. just because alot of people wear them...doesn't mean it is a fashion, but rather just a group of people conforming.

2. they should not be further expiremented with (i.e. girls who wear the shorts with UGG boots in 90+ degree weather)

3. i understand that people have early classes. what is the really the difference between these shorts and regular shorts? What? That they have these shorts in ever single color possible? Yeah, okay.

So the next time you are browsing for something to wear, just remember that nike shorts and ugg boots are a don't.

YS.

Dragonball movie... white is the new anime.

So the Dragon Ball Z movie, Dragonball, is supposedly in post-production now. Supposed to come out sometime in April 2009.

Its starring Justin Chitwick as Goku, and Emmy Rossum as Bulma. And I know Chow Yun Fat is in it too, which is pretty sweet.

For the lowdown, I'd check out the blog dedicated to the live action movie, because I don't know anything about Dragon Ball.

All I know is that this poster looks like some kind of TIGI Bed Head advertisement from Japan.

And that Justin Chitwick's hair is mighty thick. (He is one of the few who isn't using a wig) Uncle Jesse would be so jealous...

The First.

Maunder: (taken from freedictionary.com... not the greatest definition site, I know.)

2. To move or act aimlessly or vaguely; wander.

That's the reasoning, that's the motive.

Right now I'm eating a supreme pizza from Pizza Hut (which is supremely tasty) and it got me thinking about a topic I saw on the tube a couple of days ago...

Freegans - an anti-consumerist, a person that uses "alternative strategies for living based on limited participation in the conventional economy and minimal consumption of resources." Or, someone who is willing to make their food from tasties in the dumpster.

Dumpster diving - sifting through the trash to savage the remains of pretty much anything that grocery stores throw away. They clean it, they cook it, they eat it, they don't waste a single morsel.

One time I ate some Wendy's chicken nuggets off the asphalt. I called myself a freegan, and my friends called me a retard.
