Blogs From My Toilet 3
I've recently noticed that whereas female nudity in movies is supposed to be "sexy," male nudity in movies is almost always used for comedic purposes.
Basketball Thoughts
Question: Why is Dwight Howard considered a superstar? Sub-question: Why is he considered to be one of the best players in the game? Answer: Because the NBA wants him to be. Seriously though, does this guy even know how to play basketball? It is so evident he got where he is because he was a seven foot dude in high school who could do whatever he wanted. What high school kid can stop a seven footer? Not many. They really consider this guy to be one of the best in the nba because he can block shots and get rebounds? Ok first of all, he should block shots, he is seven freaking feet tall. Secondly, he only averages 12 rebounds a game. I say ONLY 12 because if he had any idea how to rebound he would average around 16. Seriously, this guy has got to be one of the most fundamentally flawed players I have ever seen. He can't shoot, he can't pass, he has no idea how to post somebody up, he doesn't know how to hold the ball when he turns to face the basket, he doesn't know how to seal anybody off, he doesn't know how to box out, he gets beat up and down the floor every play, he doesn't play defense (despite what they would have you believe), he can't dribble, he can't make a free throw (although to his credit, ,he has done alright in the playoffs), he can't use his left hand, and the dude is an enormous baby. The only guy that whines more than him is Lebron James. I am pretty sure Lebron James calls the refs from his house to whine about something that hasn't even been called yet. There were a couple instances in tonights finals game where he had his defender posted up and had a free lane to the basket going to his right, but went the other way instead for who knows what reason. And the dude just uses his elbows to get people out of the way. He just throws them into their chest until they back off enough so he can dunk it or do one if his piss poor hook shots. They guy obviously never learned fundamentals because he was always just bigger than everyone else so he just dunked it. This guy is NOT a great talent. If I were seven feet tall, I could do the same thing. This guy will never be the talent that Tim Duncan is because Tim Duncan is one of the most fundamentally sound players I have ever seen, and he has four championship rings. Dwight Howard won't get one until he learns to play basketball and learns not to get dejected in the second quarter when things aren't going his way. I am tired of hearing how good this guy is when all the evidence clearly says otherwise.

Flickr lives
As I've said before, I've been taking a lot of photos lately. I've been working on a big project that still isn't even halfway finished. But, in my quest for pictures, I have canvassed my entire surrounding neighborhood, as well as the trek from my job to my home. This weekend I am hoping to take a walk up main street, north of 820 South for more pics.
Today when I was looking through the pics I took a few days ago, I noticed the large amount of pictures I took of spring flowers. If you want to take a look, I uploaded them onto my Flickr page (link on sidebar). I appreciate comments, too, but I know not everyone has an account with Flickr, so it's okay if you don't comment. Enjoy the bright colors! I love Spring/Summertime!

Today I saw a commercial for a new birth control pill. It claims that women will only have their periods once every 3 months when on their pill. They ask, "Who says you have to have your period every month?" And my answer is, uh...God?

My Favorite Youtube Person
Name: Julia Nunes
She covers all kinds of songs from awesome bands. She sings, plays the ukelele, the guitar, some weird instrument I've never seen in my life, and an assortment of household items. She also writes her own songs and has an album out. This youtube video is one of her original songs and what they did with the video is awesome. After the song ends, they talk for awhile so you don't have to watch that if you don't want to. Okay, enjoy, and I recommend watching her other videos on youtube. They are very enjoyable and she is very talented.

If I believed in reincarnation, I think I would be a good person, solely for the fact that I wouldn't want to come back in my next life as a toilet.

Justin's super excited
Harmonix has just announced many details of the new Beatles rock band game including ten out of the 45 songs that will be on the game. Those ten songs are:
I Saw Her Standing there
I Wanna Hold Your Hand
I Feel Fine
Taxman
Day Tripper
Back In The USSR
I Am The Walrus
Octopus's Garden
Here Comes The Sun
Get Back (I am so excited for this one)
Plus they confirmed that there will be vocal harmonies, but it is cooler than I even expected. It's going to be three part harmonies! That's freaking fantastic. They also announced that "All You Need is Love" will be available for download on September 9 exclusively for the X360 (Chris.) And they said that the entire Abbey Road album will be available for future download as will other songs! All the proceeds from the downloads of All You Need is Love will go to Doctors without borders. IS IT SEPTEMBER YET!?!?!?! Click on the link to watch the trailer. It looks so amazing!!!
