Real Chance of Love, Episode 3

This episode begins with Blonde Balla calling one of her friends on the phone and complaining about all the drama in the house. (What exactly was she expecting?) She whines and complains and acts all dramatic for a few minutes, while complaining about the whining and dramatic tendencies of her fellow housemates.

After this, the girls are given some underwear looking things that are sweatshirt gray to give the illusion of workout clothes. Real and Chance announce they are going to release a new single, and for this single of course, they need a music video. So they bring in a professional exotic dancer, i mean, 'choreographer,' to teach them some classic rap video moves.

After which the girls are divided into two teams, and whoever comes up with the 'best' (raunchiest) dance wins dates with the ever so desirable Real and Chance.

Since this is my last blog about this show, I would like to take this opportunity to mention that Real kind of looks like a mexican Cher with that long nasty hair.

Real Chance of Love, Episode 2

This episode is pretty calm compared to the last one, catfight wise. The girls have a challenge, which is to pretend to be a door to door saleswoman, whose product is themselves. The object was to try and describe their highlights to Real and Chance. The girls who won this challenge were Spanish Fly, Blonde Balla, Sassy, Junk, and Pochahontas, and you really don't know how much I felt my IQ go down just typing that.

Anyway, these fine ladies won an date, which was set up as a prom. The ladies who won got the priveledge of wearing dresses that made them kind of look like hookers, while the ladies that lost were stuck with body-covering retro style 80's dresses. The only reason these ladies even agreed to wearing the no-skin-baring attire was because they thought they too were going to Real and Chance's prom. But sadly, they were stuck back at the house, partying by themselves.

At the end of this episode, Real and Chance both decided that an awkward white girl nicknamed Wiggly was the one to be eliminated, while the 15 other girls went on to try and win they're semi-famous hearts.

Real Chance of Love, Episode 1

This episode is the begining of the series 'Real Chance of Love,' which stars 'Real' and 'Chance' who are brothers, and also two previous contestants on the reality dating show, 'I Love New York.' Sadly, they both lost, but are still searching for someone to get with, and this is the secnd season of them trying to do so.

In this episode the two meet all their possible love interests, around 20-ish fame seeking young women. Throughout the episode, they are trying to get to know them all better before making the first elimination.

Two very classy girls, whose nicknames are Vegas and Show Me, get into a catfight. Show me was a radioactive obsessive tanner, who had a weird orange glow about her, and Vegas was, well. From Vegas.

Real and Chance, trying to be the respectable men they are, send both the girls home to try and discourage future catfights in the house.

The other girls are safe from elimination because of this, and stay to see another episode.

Ghost Hunters, Fort Delaware

In this episode, the Ghost Hunters go to investigate the largest Civil War prison, a building on a man-made island called Fort Delaware.

This building has been considered haunted because of all the soldiers who died there during the 1800's.

They get there, set up, and begin looking around. Awhile after they're there, they hear a really loud bang, that echoes through the whole building. The bang is so loud, that another team member heard it outside. While reviewing over evidence, the curator of the Fort tells them that it sounds like a cannon going off.

A few other things that happen to them are doors shutting, footsteps, and whispers, but nothing as loud and concrete as the cannon is heard again.

Ghost Hunters, Funhouse?

On this episode of Ghost Hunters, TAPS was told that a New England bar was experiencing weird things, like glasses moving, and faces being seen in mirrors. So the whole Ghost Hunters team drives hours up to this bar, expecting at least some type of paranormal activity, because the owners who called them seemed really, really creeped out.

So they get there, the owners show them around, they set up their equipment, and they're all ready to go. They turn off the lights and start to look around.
After awhile, they hear a noise. At first it sounds like a voice, so they follow it to the where they think it's source is. They track it to the ceiling. Perplexed, they lift up a ceiling tile and discover speakers, which are the source of the noise.

Stunned, they take note of this and keep looking around. All of them are generally nice guys, and just assume this is a mistake, old joke, or one time thing.
They keep looking around, until one team member mentions seeing a face in one of the mirrors. Remembering the speakers, they pull on the mirror, and find it swings open like a door, with a lighted mask behind it, creating the illusion that when you look into it, you see a face.

Throughout the night the Ghost Hunters find several other tricks, in the walls, ceilings, and floors. They end up stopping their search early.
Later when they confront the owner with these tricks, he says 'oh yeah, I forgot to tell you about that.'

So, in conclusion, these guys were basically just a-holes who wanted to trick the Ghost Hunters and make them think they had a really creepy bar.

Ghost Hunters, The Lighthouse

In this episode of Ghost Hunters, the Atlantic Paranormal Society (or TAPS) travels to Maryland to investigate a supposedly haunted lighthouse. They set up camera's and digital recorders all over, and start to look around.

A few hours after they start, one member begins to hear loud bangs coming from the top of the tower, which was also one of the claims of activity. They follow the sound up to a window, where the find out that when the wind is blowing a certain way, it can make the large frame of the window slam shut, which explains the bangs and proves that they're not paranormal.

A little while later, they are walking up the stairs of the lighthouse one of them see a black mass up on the stairs above them. They start to follow it, but it seems like whenever they get close enough to maybe make out what it might be, it shoots farther up the stairs.

Later on, when they review the video evidence they find the black mass they were 'chasing.' It appears as a little black figure, and looks like it leans over the stairs to look down at the camera.

Also, as they listened to the recorded sound evidence, they hear a little girl's scream echo through the lighthouse. This evidence was a little more convincing, since there were no women there at the time.

They present this evidence to the owners, and declare the lighthouse possibly haunted.

c'mon now

Being the slacker that I am, I wasn't planning on making any posts I didn't really have to. But I had nothing better to do right at this moment, and this particular story made me want to punch babies.

So apparently, Michelle Obama decided to take her two girls on a vacation to Arizona to see the Grand Canyon. Arizona, as you probably know, is pretty hot. It's not a place you would want to be stuck wearing the cookie-cutter-Hillary-Clinton frumpy pantsuit in. So like every normal human being, Miss Obama's outfit of choice was a t-shirt and shorts.

Hours after the first picture was taken of her and her daughters walking off Air Force One, rumors floated around that some peeps in Washington were pretty peed off at her choice of attire. Criticism about the first lady's choice to show her bare legs first appeared on MSNBC.com and can pretty much be found on any other news site by now. Michelle was also criticized back during the innaugeration for her sleeveless dress.

Ok. This whole situation pretty much makes fun of itself, so there's not much I really can think of to say, except, Really? I thought we lived in 2009. The shorts in question hit right above her knee, for god's sake. She was in freakin Arizona, where it's like 110 in the shade. What the hell did they expect her to wear?

ok i'm done.

The Hangover

The only movie that I saw this summer that was worth remembering actual details about was the Hangover. And as I look threw everyone else's blogs, I guess it was that way for alot of people.

It starts out with Doug, who's about to get married, and plans a bachelor party in Las Vegas with his friends, Phil, Stu and almost brother-in-law Alan. They roadtrip down to Vegas, planning on only staying a night, just long enough to party and leave in time for the wedding. They get to Cesar's Palace where they're staying, and right away begin to plan what they want to do. They sneak onto the roof and make a toast, after which their memory is completley blank.

Little do they know, Alan the brother-in-law snuck roofies (or date rape drugs) into their drinks that night, thinking it was ecstasy. They wake up the next morning, as the title suggests, with massive hangovers, and can't remember a single thing that happened the night before. They find Mike Tyson's tiger in the bathroom, a baby in the closet, and a mattress on a statue. But one thing they can't find, is Doug.

The rest of their movie is a quest to find Doug, before the wedding, and to find out exactly what happened to them the night before. They find out one of them got married to a stripper, that they made deals with a gay chinese mafia leader, peed in Mike Tyson's pool, and parked Doug's future father-in-law's Cadillac in the middle of a busy highway.

All in all it's a pretty funny movie. I can't honestly say it's the funniest movie I've ever seen like everybody else does, but it's up there. Out of 10, I'd have to give it an 8 or a 9.

Newspaper 4- There's coke in your pocket.

If you currently have a wallet, purse, or any item on you that is currently carrying dollar bills, then there's a good chance you're also carrying illegal drugs.

In a recent study, 234 bank notes from 17 major cities around the country were examined closely, and researchers discovered that 90% of them contained traces of cocaine.
But don't get exited crack heads, most of the traces were almost miniscule, most smaller then a grain of sand. The largest being, maybe 50 grains of sand.

It seems that where you get your money from determines how much coke it will probably have on it. Large cities like Boston and Detroit produced the most drug covered bills, while Salt Lake City produced the least.

Researchers say the coke on your money probably comes from the common practice of sniffing cocaine threw rolled up bills, or from drug deals where it could accidentally be transferred to the money. For those of you who have to Germ-X before touching door handles, fear not. Doctors say the amount can't possibly be harmful to your health, and you won't be able to see the traces of if anyway.

Newspaper 3- el bebe de celine

One of today's most visited stories on CNN.com (beating out stories about Hurricane Bill, Taliban forces threatening Afghan voters, and even an interview with Micheal Jackson's doctor holycrap,) was the news of Celine Dion being pregnant with her 2nd baby. 41 year old Celine and 234 year old husband Rene` learned of her condition last Monday, after working with fertility doctors since the year after the birth of their first son in 2001, Rene-Charles.

Celine, who comes from a family of 14 kids, has long been very public about her desire for a large family, but also her understanding that her late start would probably inhibit this. Luckily for her though, Rene Crypt Creeper Angelil came with 3 other children from his 2 previous marriages, so counting this new baby, The Celine's kid count will be up to 5. So, about halfway there I suppose.

Unfortunatley when I clicked The Celine's face today I was expecting this article to be about a new CD, but eh same/diff.

Newspaper 2- It's a small world.

In 2011, it's estimated that the human population of our Earth will be nearing 7 billion. 12 years ago, we were estimated to have reached the 6 billion mark. Which means that at the rate our population is going now, the human race produces 1 billion babies roughly every decade.

And one of the largest, if not the largest, age group in the world? Teenagers.

Out of our almost 7 billion people, 1 billion are considered adolescent. Now that is about 1/6th, 1/7th of the population, and if you think about it, that's huge.

Developing countries like Uganda and countries in Central Africa are experiencing the biggest adolescent boom. Despite AIDS and other chronic diseases plaguing Africa, the population of Uganda is expected to triple by 2050. This giant influx of young people in such countries however, brings many problems, such as the sanitation and education issues that Africa already faces. Imagine tripiling the population; it would be tripiling the problem.

It makes me wonder, how many people can this world really hold? We cannot, obviously, continue to grow at the rate of 1billion every decade. But what do we do? Birthing restrictions?

Is there anything we can do without restricting basic human rights? It's a creepy thing to think about, and a possible major problem in the near future.

Newspaper 1- Brett Favre comes out of retirement. Again.

When one thinks of retirement, you think of old people in florida, RV trips, and 401k's. Generally, being relieved of the responsibility of work is something people look forward to, and once a person is retired, they usually grab their parting gift baskets and don't look back.
However, if you are the once great QB Brett Favre, this isn't the case. It appears that Mr. Favre is confused about the actual meaning of the word 'retirement,' and it is my personal thought that maybe in his old age he has confused 'retirement' with words such as 'vacation' or 'sabbactical' which in contrast with retirement, are temporary events.

Favre is returning yet again to the NFL, this time to the Minnesota Vikings after their completion of training camp. (This was said to be strategic, since Mr. Favre is an open training camp hater.) This, of course, travesty in the world of his former team, the Packers. Although I am a Packers fan, I hold no grudges. I am actually scared because of the fact that at his progressed age, dementia may kick in during a game. Or he might blow a hip.


In all seriousness though, I believe we should take 3 things from this story. One, never believe Bret Favre. Two, rich people just want to get richer. And three, when considering leaving your job forever, make sure that's what you really want to do.
