Saviorbomb!

Dave Grohl does not approve of Nick and Jessica.

The man your man could smell like.

I love this commercial:



Turns out this guy is Isaiah Mustafa, and he is on a horse.

He's got a twitter and a wikipedia page, look him up!

In the Beginning, there was the Dave Grohl....

So, every now and then, I'll see a picture of Dave Grohl and think to myself, he kinda looks like someone I know. And I couldn't put my finger on it until one day, I saw this picture:


JESUS!!!! Dave Grohl is the Messiah!!!! We should have known. Of course, it was harder to tell this time without the prophecies and whatnot.

Well, now that I have found Jesus (turns out he was in the Foo Fighters the whole time), nothing left to do except sell all my earthly possessions and Follow his Eminent Grohliness.

Also, if there's a possibility that Jesus might be blonde, then this could easily be transferred over to Taylor Hawkins.

Morgan Freeman

A Morgan Freeman cheatsheet; your guide to watching Morgan Freeman organized by rank.

I think "Pimp" may also belong somewhere between "Judge" and "Police Detective".

Puppies, Yo.

Thank you Google Reader. Much of what you give me through my recommendations is pretentious white people blogging about life, computers, or feminism in a neither funny nor entirely serious way.

But sometimes, the white people blog about great things. E.g. Puppies:

Thought Blips, or: How my mind works

My brain is a funny thing.

Thoughts in my head bounce around in a disorderly and constant manner. Like electrons, it is impossible to know their position and their speed at the same time. They fly around in orbitals around a brain nucleus. This nucleus serves to attract the thoughts needed to express myself. More often than not, this nucleus attracts too few or too many thoughts and I end up confused or confusing others. Kind of like now.

Anyway, certain thoughts wander too close to the nucleus and get sucked in. Rarely expressed as words but thought up nonetheless, these thoughts are random non-contextual one-liners known as blips. If expressed, they would subject me to confused looks for being so out of context.

And you finally have the opportunity to find out what I mean.

You lucky person.

That long and overthought explanation of the Cognitive Cloud Model of the human brain (a "Brain Storm", if you will) introduces my twitter account: JTAthoughtblips. This will be my outlet of expressing my blips, for everyone's enjoyment.

So enjoy.

More Parliament

Given my recent disposition toward foreign legislative assemblies and my utter lack of anything else to write about, I thought I'd add a new video.



That's right. Canadian Parliament. Surprisingly more interesting than Congress.

They seem to share a similar energy to the Brits, but they lack in what may be the single most important area:

Funny accents.

Ideally, U.S. congress would become more like British parliament. However Canada clearly demonstrates that without the silly voices, even the most mundane subjects remain largely mundane.

Leave it to Canada to show us the wrong way to do something.

First order of business: British Accents. Maybe adopting the funny voices will in itself lead to a change in viewpoint of everyday matters. Maybe inheritance tax will seem important enough to elicit a vocal uproar from those who disagree with a certain policy on it.

Congress vs. Parliament

So it's been a while since I posted. Sorry to disappoint the 7 of you possibly reading this.

But I have found something amazing.

The British have done it again. Even their lawmaking process is made interesting.

For example, here is a session of American Congress (don't watch the whole thing - it's 17 minutes long):



Boring. As. Benjamin Button.

Here's British Parliament (watch the whole thing):



Brilliant! The British can make a debate on inheritance tax the awesomest 4 minutes of your day.

Highlights include 0:22 and 1:51. Those lawmakers know how to have a good time. It looks like a freestyle rap battle between guys who talk funny and decide how an entire country should be run.

I say we wrangle up some Brits, lock them in a fancy room, tell them to talk about the health care crisis, and watch the discussion slowly dissolve into a shouting match between the two sides that is moderated by an unusually soft-spoken old guy.

British Parliament: the most recent addition to things I like.

Crazy Fan!

I just found a new fan by dyson. Even though it's radically becoming colder in Boston, I still think it would be cool to have.

Here is its page, and here is how it works.

Tuesday, October 13, 2009

Well, The Senate Panel cleared the health care bill.

I'm healthy, what do I care.

I just survived 6 days of my old Uncle and Aunt. And I'm exhausted.

My aunt, who once gave my sister bowls as a present, who takes pictures of the food we cook to show to her children. Who actually care! "Hey everybody, we're going to gather round the the coffee table and take a look at what we had to eat a few days ago."

Sidenote: I was going to finish that sarcastic imitation with something about seeing it now, but I decided against it. You're welcome.

And my uncle. You can't really hear what he says.

These are strange people. I once saw them sitting on a couch. That's it. That's all they were doing. Isn't that strange?

I used to think sitting on a couch was theoretically a normal activity. Upon actually observing it, however, I realize that you look like a crazy person.

Multitask, people! It's the future.

Our president being nerdy!


Kanye interrupting God:
Interestingly enough, There is now a website devoted to the Kanye meme. It's called imaletyoufinish.com

"Yo Justin, I know you're blogging, and I'ma let you finish, but Perez Hilton has one of the best blogs of all time!"

Freakin Kanye.

Rove and Limbaugh - Family Guy Guest stars?

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/08/14/rush-limbaugh-and-karl-ro_n_259497.html

So, Apparently Rush Limbaugh and Karl Rove are gonna be on Family Guy.

If there were an emoticon that expressed shock, I would use it.

80. Emoticons FTW.

Apparently Brian has nothing more to complain about with Obama as president, so he bangs a uey and heads to the far right.

Nothing to complain about. Aside from a nation deeply divided on health care reform and money being injected into former billion dollar corporations like botox into Joan Rivers.

And naming a dog Bo. Who does that? Seriously. I can not express emotion better than 80

Oh well. Here's an awesome picture:
That's right. The beatles about to cross Abbey Road.

:D

Photobombing

So, being a blogger, I feel obligated to do a blog on this picture:


Ohh, yay, look at the cute squirrel. Woo-hoo. Nothing could ever intrude on a picture like that.

Except for:
Booyah! X-Ray Bomb!

Cities from distances.

http://www.funtasticus.com/20090810/cities-at-night-from-a-distance/

So apparently they didn't think Boston was worth showing, probably because we TURN OUR LIGHTS OFF AT NIGHT LIKE CIVILIZED, ECO-CONSCIOUS PEOPLE!!!

Didn't Al Gore ever tell you to turn out the lights? Hmm? I'm looking at you, Tokyo!

John Adams: First Twitterer Ever

http://twitter.com/JQAdams_MHS

The above Twitter account is a periodic release from the Massachusetts Historic Society. It is John Quincy Adams' private journal. This makes John Adam's, our sixth president, the first ever twitterer.

And my grandmother still needs me to explain Hi-Def channels:

"Ok, so you hit 4, -, 1. Because that's the hi def channel. Because if you don't, it goes to Standard Def. It means regular tv."

Picture-palooza!!!! (seriously? palooza?)

So, we have a few pictures from assorted websites. I post them here for the lulz, for glory, and for the return of a decent Windows operating system.
