This looks so dumb but...
also it might have a few laughs. Also this is one of the greatest movie titles ever.

Real Music's Gonna Last...
I feel bad for promoting that hilarious R. Kelly song, so as my penance, I'm posting some videos by talented Seattle-based artists. The last video is billed as an "allegorical short film" and pays homage to the 1977 cult classic "Killer of Sheep" (James, from what I read, you should check out this movie).
D. Black (pride of the C.D.) - Yesterday
Fresh Espresso (PSmoov and Rik Rude) - Big or Small
Shabazz Palaces (Ish of Digable Planets fame) - Belhaven Meridian
How can you not love an artist/group with a song called "a mess, the booth soaks in palacian musk, palaceer in vintage LRG, yes pure NS,uppowndet watermelon lips beat"?

World Cup 2010
Six months before every World Cup there is much hoopla (I really like that word) about who each team will have to play in the group stage. Last Friday the groups were picked for the 2010 World Cup. The Cup is not coming up until June but it is never too early to start making predictions. Here are my thoughts and predictions for the coming summer. I will write a full out prediction in the spring. In case you don't know how the group stage of the World Cup works...each team plays each other once and the two teams with most points (3 points for win, 1 point for tie, 0 points for loss) continue on. Here we go...
Group A
The host country bracket
South Africa, Mexico, Uruguay, and France.
South Africa is currently ranked number 86 by FIFA. They got automatically because they are the host. While they will have some home field advantage they will not make it out of the group stage.
Mexico is always good but they seem to not live up to expectations. I think that they will do well enough to come in second in their group.
Uruguay will give teams a run for their money but I believe they will just miss out.
France always does well in the World Cup and as much as I hate them, they are a good team. They will be the big dog in Group A but it will not be easy for them to end up as the top team.
Group B
Could be a close one.
Argentina is a really good team with arguably the best player in the world (Messi). They should make it out of first round, but there are good teams in this group.
Nigeria is a team that can surprise its opponents. I also think they will somewhat experience a home field advantage like South Africa. I believe they will also make it out of the group stage.
South Korea could cause some problems but they are the weakest team in the group.
Greece has a pretty decent team but I just don't see them making it out the first round. They could beat Nigeria however.
Group C
USA!USA!USA!
England is definitely the favorite of this group but they are one of the most notorious underachievers. They always have a group of the best players in the world but they can never perform. That being said, I think they will make it out of Group C.
Team USA has ended up in maybe they best spot possible. They should certainly make it out of the group stage and have a chance at winning it. It all depends which USA shows up. Will they be the USA that beat Spain? The USA that scored two goals against Brazil in the first half? Or will the be the USA that then gave up 3 goals in the second half to Brazil? If they play to their potential they could beat England and win the bracket. They should definitely beat Slovenia and Algeria.
Algeria miraculously beat Egypt to make it to the World Cup. They will not make continue the miracle in the World Cup.
Slovenia shocked the world by beating a very good Russia team to make the World Cup and kick the vodka drinkers out. Like Algeria their miracle run should end very quickly in South Africa.
Group D
Should be dominated by Germany
Germany is the heavy favorite in this group. It probably is going to be a battle for second place after these guys. You gotta love a team where one of their best players is a guy named Schweinsteiger. He is arguably one of the ugliest men alive.
Australia is ranked one higher than Serbia. It will be a battle between those two for second place.
Serbia...see above.
Ghana has the potential to surprise the other teams but they are going to have to play very well. Don't think they make it.
Group E
Two good teams...two not so good.
The Netherlands are for sure the favorite in this group. They are also one of the most fun teams to watch because they do not believe in defense at all. The Netherlands are like some other countries, they are very well known for not living up to expectations (see England).
Denmark could try and compete but I think The Netherlands and Cameroon will be too much for them. They could beat Japan though.
Japan does not seem like much a threat. Their main hope is to probably beat Denmark and then tie Cameroon and the Netherlands.
Cameroon is probably going to end up in second place in Group E and make it out. They are pretty good team who should at least win two of their games.
Group F
Italy should have no problem.
Italy is probably my least favorite team to watch. They play boring boring soccer. Unfortunately I will be watching them past the first round as they are easily the best team in their group.
Paraguay could end up in second place. They should beat New Zealand and could pull something out against Slovakia.
New Zealand is the third lowest FIFA ranked team in the Cup (77). The All Whites will probably lose every game, by a lot.
Slovakia needs to beat Paraguay to make it out of the first round. I don't think they will.
Group G
Group of DEATH!!! Every World Cup there is one group of death. In 2010 it will be Group G
Brazil is a great team and should make it out of the first round. They will have some tough games against Portugal and the Ivory Coast.
North Korea should probably just give up. I don't think that they will even play though. As soon as the plane lands in South Africa I think the players will run away as this is their one chance at freedom. They should get totally stomped. I wonder how Kim Jong Il will spin it?
Ivory Coast is a good team but I don't think they are good enough to beat Brazil and Portugal. Drogba is a great player and could do some magic but I think they will be over-matched.
Portugal is a good team with another one of the best (and sexiest) players in the world. Seriously, have you seen Ronaldo's hair? It is like watching a dolphin play a harp while jumping over a rainbow. Awe inspiring. They will be the second team to make it out of the group.
Group H
The Spanish Inquisition. I'll be honest, I don't remember what the Spanish Inquisition was but it had something to do with the Spanish being mean to other people right? No? They were just mean to their citizens? Ahhh whatever.
Spain has been pretty dominate lately (ranked number 1 by FIFA), beating every team except for team USA!USA!USA!. They are definitely one of the favorites to win it all. They should have no problem taking care of the other three teams.
Switzerland is a decent team and should do well against Honduras. Chile will provide and excellent test for them and I think they will prevail. They will lose to Spain however.
Honduras is the worst team in the group and will probably lose every game. Maybe they will pull an upset tie against Chile.
Chile is a good team and are ranked one higher that Switzerland but I think the Swiss will prevail. They will be Honduras but they will lose to Spain, just like Switzerland and Honduras.
So those are my initial predictions. Of course things always change and my predictions usually end up being pretty wrong so we will see what happens. Some teams could also play worse depending on which stadiums they play in. Many of the South African stadiums are at high altitude and that can have a huge effect on teams. Other teams have most of their games near sea level. It will be interesting to see how that effects teams recovery and general endurance.
Group A
The host country bracket
South Africa, Mexico, Uruguay, and France.
South Africa is currently ranked number 86 by FIFA. They got automatically because they are the host. While they will have some home field advantage they will not make it out of the group stage.
Mexico is always good but they seem to not live up to expectations. I think that they will do well enough to come in second in their group.
Uruguay will give teams a run for their money but I believe they will just miss out.

Eddie van halen played the synthiseizer to show everyone that he could play more than a guitar. Noone really cared and David lee Roth told him that on many occasions. David has said they rehearsed this song over 100 times. This song was the beginning of the end for van halen. What led David lee Roth to leave was ultimately eddies perfectionist attitude.

Thats a lot of birds
and a good news dog story from Yahoo!
A doggone miracle
By now you may have heard the good-news story of the Australian bomb-sniffing dog that was found in Afghanistan after she had been missing in action for over a year. Still, the heart-warmer bears repeating. The black lab, Sabi, had been on a joint Aussie-Afghan patrol, sniffing for roadside bombs and explosive devices. She disappeared after a fierce firefight that left nine soldiers wounded, including the pooch's handler. Amazingly, the highly trained canine was discovered by an American soldier in an isolated base after 14 months missing. Sabi will probably return home to Australia and has already been given a hero's welcome — a personal pat on the head from Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd. All we can say is "good dog!"

Some responses to the crazy soccer video...
So the video of the girl beating the crap out of some BYU chicks has been on ESPN a lot today. Here are some of the comments that people made on ESPN.com.

The girl that got her hair pulled is pretty hot.

ohiostatealltheway32 (11/6/2009 at 12:19 PM) Report Violation
they should put this chicks hair up in a top knot like a samurai then cut it off in the middle of the soccer field "The Last Samurai" style. Then all scream out "Shamed" as she walks off the field.

Her apology is worth nothing. Actions speak much, much louder than words. She should be expelled from school, and charges should be pressed against her.

Women's Soccer fans should be praising this girl. She actually got your sport put on the espn front page for the first time in almost 2 decades.

Crazy Scary
Avalanche Skier POV Helmet Cam Burial & Rescue in Haines, Alaska from Chappy on Vimeo.
From the text accompanying the video:
This was a decent sized avalanche. 1,500 feet the dude fell in a little over 20 seconds. The crown was about 1 - 1.5m. The chute that he got sucked through to the skier's right was flanked on either side by cliff bands that were about 30m tall. He luckily didn't break any bones and obviously didn't hit anything on the run out.
He was only buried for 4 and a half minutes...

Also, Drew... the SSHH misses you.
A Request
I received a request the other day to post this link to the Darwin Awards.
It is a website of the stupid ways people have accidentally killed themselves. It makes you appreciate being alive much more.
For example:
(January 2003, India) Regarding accidental deaths during the construction of a subway in New Delhi, the New York Times wrote, "One of those killed was an unlucky thief who tried to steal braces holding up a concrete slab; it fell and killed him."

(January 2003, India) Regarding accidental deaths during the construction of a subway in New Delhi, the New York Times wrote, "One of those killed was an unlucky thief who tried to steal braces holding up a concrete slab; it fell and killed him."

I really wish they did this for Football games.
This station in England puts a fan from each team in a broadcast booth together for games and gives them each a mic. What is the result? Pure genius.
This is from when Manchester United played Manchester City. The final score was Man U beating Manchester City 4-3.
Oh tubby Brits. So funny.

If you don't want to watch the whole thing I would say at least look at the 2:40 mark.

A Topic!
It has been a long time since any of us have done a topic writing so I asked my friend Jen (to protect the identity of the person who gave me the topic, I have changed his/her name) to give us one. Here is what she sent us (directly copied and pasted from the email).
if you could go back in time to anywhere on the planet, where would you go & why.
This is a pretty open ended question. Is it asking if I would be going back for a visit? Would I be there for the rest of my life? Depending on how long I would be in the past greatly changes the question. Also, could I bring things (food, water, guns, supplies, clothing of the time period) with me? Would I be going alone? Would I be going with a team of people in the hopes of creating a better peaceful society and change the future of all mankind? Would I be going with someone I really don't like (like the guys from bloggingheads.tv)?
If I was only going back in time for like 15 minutes then maybe I would want to go to prehistoric times so I could see some dinosaurs. I am hoping that in the 15 minutes I was there I would not get eaten. I would want to go to someplace near the coast. I'm sure there would be a lot of action there. I can't specify what coast or anything because I'm not really sure where land was back then.
If I was going in the past with no supplies and for a couple of days I would want to not go past the 1950s. One major reason for this? I wear contacts. After a while my contacts would dry out and I would need to get glasses. If I went too far back in time I would be in trouble as eventually I would not have much for vision. Now I know I could go back farther than the 50s and still be able to get glasses, but if I don't have any supplies I wouldn't want to go farther back than that. It would be kind of cool to go to the 50s and be like one of the guys from Mad Men for a day or two. It would also be sweet to back to the 60s or 70s.
Now if I had supplies and I was going alone or with people, we had supplies (like contacts, guns, food, water, clothes, and toilet paper) and it was for the rest of my/our lives it would be different. I think I would then like to go to Seattle, but before it existed, like the 1600 or 1700s. The reason that I would like to do that is because there are so many natural resources right here that I could use to survive and even, dare I say, flourish. I would make sure that the people who would come with me were talented in different necessary specialties so make a good society. I would want some people with a good understanding of building, at least two doctors (for when you are sick and then when you need a second opinion), some people who are good with guns (but aren't mercenary type, I don't want them turning on me) and a bunch of hot chicks (these hot chicks could also be one of the previously stated specialties). I am pretty sure that with my current friends I could put together such a group.
If I had some supplies but it was just for a couple of days then I would maybe like to go back to Japan in the 1700s. I could be like Tom Cruise in the Last Samurai for a day or two, minus the whole getting involved thing. Now I know that the Last Samurai supposedly takes place in 1870 and not the 1700s, but I am just using it as an example of a white guy being in Japan.
Again, this was a pretty open ended question, which I liked. It gave me room to explain different scenarios. Of course my answer could change a bit because if I knew I was about to go back in time then I would probably get LASIK so I didn't have to worry about contacts. Now if the question was when would I want to be born, it would be present day. I had an appendicitis when I was 12 so I wouldn't want to be born in a time when they didn't know what that was. I would like to live past 12 as I have in present day.
I thought about some other time periods. Here are some other time periods and why I would not want to go for very long if at all.
Medieval Times... I bet everything smelled terrible back then as there was no sewage. Life wasn't like the renaissance fairs. If you weren't rich you were nothing. Oh yeah and one more reason. Black Plague.
Civil War... I think this would be really interesting for sure but if you have seen the beginning of Dances With Wolves we all know that everyone got gang green back then. Don't know what I'm talking about? Think about the beginning when the doctor tell Costner that he is going to have to take off his leg. Remember all the blood and the other injured people around him? No? Then you closed your eyes at the beginning of the movie.
Ancient Roman Times... This one has a similar answer to Medieval Times. I probably wouldn't go back as a rich Senator or something so it would be pretty smelly and depressing. I would probably also get some kind of disease.
Caribbean during the time of Pirates (1700s or so)... Scurvy, nasty teeth, and rum. No, No, and OK.
So there you have it. Those are my thoughts on going back in time.
