Things among other things....

Looking back in the last few years ( I can not believe it’s been years already) I realize I have not kept up with the little things that used to make me laugh sometimes. Could it be that I am just “growing” out of it. I personally don’t think people grow out of anything….they just become too embarrassed to keep doing it if you ask me.

Take my friend Sonia for example, we both know better than to be loud and make fun of people at restaurants or baseball games or the workplace for that matter but it only takes a quick glance from eachother to know exactly what the other is thinking…and there it comes..laughter laughter laughter!! J

Sometimes I wish I didn’t had to grow older that fast….and sometime it feels that I am not there fast enough…hmmmm. Ok back to the things that used to make me laugh….

It’s been ages since I’ve checked out Homestar Runner! My fave is Strong Bad Email…that guy really cracks me up. He is the original version of Nacho in my opinion. I love his brother Strong Sad too..he just makes you want to kill yourself after two minutes of listening to him.

Another brief but fun past time was checking out Will Ill Press….sometimes they are not so..errr. politically correct but who is these days?? Makes me think of Carlos Mencia and Kathy Griffin…I didn’t even know she got a divorce! I found out the other day checking out the new season of Life on the D List…I LOVE the show! She is so funny! I like her better than Sarah Silverman. Ellen is still my favorite though…maybe because she is gay. I’m sorry but anyone who can get a girl like Portia and keep her for being sweet and funny is alright in my book. Plus, I strongly support the gay and lesbian community. I think when it comes to love gender doesn’t matter.

Hmmm….how the hell did I get from Homestar to Ellen???? It’s weird how my mind works sometimes, a bit scary.

Uhhh…that reminds me, I need to see if I can find the Homestar Runner apple commercial I kept looking for ..it’s been years and I haven’t found it. Oh, I guess I can look on You Tube, people always post stuff like that out there. http://dirkcrimson.keenspace.com/pics/homestarswitch.html
Ha..found it!

Break. Didn’t get to post this yesterday. We were moving office stuff and I was suppose to post it when I got to the office. Sometimes I am too busy for my own good. I had sushi yesterday…that made me very happy! J

So what’s new today???? Hmmm….

VMA music award nominations are in…

Timberlake, Beyonce top VMA nominations08/07/2007 10:30 PM, APNekesa Mumbi Moody Justin Timberlake and Beyonce lead the pop parade of nominees for the MTV Video Music Awards with seven nods apiece, it was announced Tuesday.
Beyonce's "Irreplaceable" was nominated for video of the year, as was Timberlake's ambitiously cinematic "What Goes Around ... Comes Around," which co-starred Scarlett Johansson. Also competing in the category are Amy Winehouse's "Rehab," Kanye West's "Stronger," Rihanna's "Umbrella" (featuring Jay-Z) and Justice's "D.A.N.C.E."
Timberlake was also nominated for male artist of the year and "most earth shattering collaboration" for pairing with Timbaland for "Sexy Back." Beyonce was nominated for female artist of the year and for her collaboration with Shakira on "Beautiful Liar."
West landed five nominations, including male artist of the year. He has often appeared prickly about losing awards, and on Tuesday he was still sore over being snubbed last year for his Evel Knievel spoof video "Touch the Sky." (In 2005, he did win best male video for "Jesus Walks.")
"I come to win. I don't come to lose," West told MTV Tuesday on "TRL," where the awards were announced. "I think there's some really strong competition this year."
Rihanna also received five nominations, propelled by her hit single, "Umbrella," which is up for "monster single of the year."
Also nominated for male artist of the year was Akon, T.I. and Robin Thicke. Rounding out the nominees for female artist of the year were Fergie and Nelly Furtado.
Amy Winehouse, whose album "Back to Black" was her second disc but her first released in the U.S., was nominated for best new artist. She received three nods, including female artist of the year. In the best new artist category, Winehouse will compete with her compatriot Lily Allen, as well as Carrie Underwood, Gym Class Heroes and Peter Bjorn & John.
Up for best group are Fall Out Boy, Gym Class Heroes, Linkin Park, Maroon 5 and the White Stripes.
The 24th annual VMAs will be handed out during a live two-hour show on Sept. 9 in Las Vegas at the Palms Hotel and Casino. Only eight categories will be awarded on the broadcast. Performers will include Kanye West, Fall Out Boy, Amy Winehouse, Chris Brown, the Foo Fighters and Rihanna.
Timbaland will serve as "maestro" for the night, booking the show's acts.
"By me being maestro," said Timbaland, "I am the show."


Ok…is it me or is Timbaland a little too full of himself? I am not sure of the umbrella song from Rihanna…if I have to hear that one more time I would seriously consider cutting my veins. Other than that I guess I’ll be ok. I guess I would have to record it since I’ve been lazy lately and there is no way I will go through a show without being able to forward the commercials.

Which reminds me…I can’t wait until House comes back and I get to see Hugh Laurie again.. I absolutely love his character!
