So, this is what my "CSUF at Night" column should have been about, but instead I was more serious. I should have talked about this crazy night me and Christiana had! I swear we are not "on anything," we're just freakin' delirious and like many of us have done before... try to make somethin' of a crappy situation...
Check out our vid:
This was my column for Scauzillo on "CSUF at Night..." Do you feel the same or no??
I have spent hundreds upon hundreds of nights here at Cal State Fullerton. The campus is perfect at night—still, calm—there is no hustle and bustle of students and no bicyclists zipping by you.
Inside, night classes are still in session, but the hallways are quiet. The cafes are closed and in the library you hear only computer keys and the custodial staff’s large trash bin’s rolling around as they move from bathroom to bathroom. Outside, you get to walk through massive puddles as the sprinklers bathe the sidewalks and you can smell jasmine in the air. This is funny, considering I am not a fan of the outdoors.
When someone asks me if I want to go camping, I often find myself smirking and saying, “Only at the Marriott.” Then we both laugh. But, there is nothing like a warm California breeze at night. If you suffer from weird “temperature swings,” this is the perfect weather for you.
Most often, this reflects my typical evening at Fullerton. I have always taken night classes so I am not a stranger to late nights on campus. Some girls do not feel safe walking around by themselves, but my safety has never been questioned.
I am not scared of the dark. I am not scared of flickering lights in a hallway when you are the only one walking down a long corridor in the basement of the Communications building. I am not scared of the mile hike I have to make across campus to get to my car or the three streets I often cross and know so well.
I will miss my late night walks. After fourteen hours in the library some days, I look forward to packing up my things before the doors close at 10:30 p.m. and getting that first “whiff” of fresh air when I leave. Weighed down with books and feeling pretty gross from many hours staring at my computer screen, this is the part I look forward to the most.
I will miss the voice of the street walking signal that counts down the number of seconds you have to walk across before the traffic light turns red. On these late nights, this often the only voice you hear at Cal State Fullerton. When I reach my car, I always find myself taking one last deep breath of that jasmine air before I begin my journey back home.
What can I say? I find pleasure in the small things.

This is off topic... but I heart Keri Hilson!
Another new song I love! Right now it is the 4th U.S. single from her album...
She is amazing and beautiful, don't you agree? It's about time she started getting credit for her ernomous contributions to the music industry. She began getting noticed back in '07 after being featured in some of Timbaland's music vids, but she has finally released her solo album this year called "In a Perfect World..."
The reason why I think "it's about time" she got her own spotlight is because she's been writing and producing for many artists and rappers (for years) like Beyonce, Ciara, Ludacris, Lloyd Banks, Usher, Nas, Britney Spears and more... She's a very talented-singer, dancer, writer and producer. You can hear her frustration in her remix of "Turnin' me On" with T-Pain and Lil Wayne--which has caused some commotion. Do you think she meant to be dissin' Ciara & Beyonce or is she just playin'?

Graduation - Part 2
This is part 2 of graduation 2009. This is my theme right now. It just makes me feel good. Who cares if its cliche. And don't judge me-- I am no fan of Miley Cyrus (and the music vid sux) but the song is one and a million. Listen to it. Read the words below.
I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming but
There's a voice inside my head sayin,
You'll never reach it,
Every step I'm taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high
There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm gonna to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb
The struggles I'm facing,
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down but
No I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on, cause
Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It's all about
It's all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith

Graduation 2009
Four more weeks.
After graduation—just for the hell of it—ask yourself 9 questions.
My video blog is loosely based on my personal feelings about all of us who are graduating and the pressure of figuring out what we want for our future. I feel like too many of us are deciding that we must conform to the traditional route and find a job and officially become ‘independent’ of our parents. But, many of us have a choice...
There are many people who do not have the luxury of ‘choice’ because they have others depending on them to make ends meet—remember the economy is brutally affecting many thousands of people—even in Orange County.
But, for those of us at a crossroads—here is some advice: Carpe diem.
When I use this phrase I want you to think about what it means. Think of more than the inspirational catchphrase and popular tagline that has been overly used by our peers and ask yourself the question: What are YOU seizing? How do YOU want to seize the day?
While some people are graduating in weeks and others in months, completing your undergraduate education is a big deal, regardless of whether you are moving on to grad school, traveling, or entering the workforce. It is a culmination of a lot of sleepless nights, crazy parties, and many hard lessons. I want my peers to realize that you have a choice in life to do what makes you happy and take a stand against those things that force you to do otherwise.
There have been some people I have spoken with, who say that after graduation they want to go and “find themselves and experience.” While that is very profound thinking, it’s complete horseshit.
“Experience makes sense, but... find yourself!?! Did you lose yourself somewhere???”
For each of you thinking the same thing, the answer is: You know WHO you are. All of the challenges and accomplishments and failures you have made up until this moment have made you WHO you are. Most people do not realize where the problem lies. The problem lies in taking all of the knowledge and experiences you have made thus far and figuring out how to apply them to your future. Now, ask yourself: what do you want for your future?
If you are able to answer these 8 questions, then you are not completely lost. If you answer “I don’t know” to any of these questions, then you are not completely lost (and braver than most).
1. What makes you happy?
2. What makes you sad?
3.What qualities do you admire most in humanity?
4. What do you dream of?
5. What are your weaknesses?
6. What are your strengths?
7. What will complete your life before you die?
8. What defines you?
When I first developed these questions, they seemed silly, but necessary to understanding and developing what I truly wanted to do. Maybe not today or even after I graduate, but they are a priority in my life now that I will work towards doing. I won’t push them aside.
The reality is that as excited as I am, thinking about the future can be scary because you have NO control over what will happen. So if you are in the same boat, I will tell you what I keep telling myself.
“Be patient, have hope and breathe...everything will be alright.”
The art of video-blogging
First of all, writing a blog is way cooler than I thought it would be. At times, it did feel like a drag, rushing to get a post in for the week, but most of the time I enjoyed putting my thoughts up on “my very own blog” on the gateway of knowledge (a.k.a the Internet). Creating your own video blog is actually a little more time consuming I found than just writing though.
Interestingly enough I am a broadcast journalism major and I prefer the challenges of print...go figure. While it was kinda neat putting together a video blog, my PC doesn’t have the easy capabilities to just record a video and upload it like some can in less than 10 minutes with their MAC or webcam. It takes me a little longer. Unfortunately, I do not have a webcam on my computer either and I did not feel like buying one for this one assignment. I felt a little rushed with this entry, but that is only due to my insanely busy school and work schedule... not the professor’s—two weeks is plenty of time.
Anyways, it was definitely a learning experience, but I understand now how to upload and let’s face it—its kina cool seeing yourself on Youtube if you haven’t before. Would I do it again? Maybe. I prefer print commentary over video commentary, but only because of the fact that I am not the most computer savvy in the world. But regardless of the technical challenges, it was neat recording the vid and uploading it.

German Woman Gets to See Polar Bears Up Close and Personal at the Berlin Zoo
This past Friday, a German woman was attacked by a polar bear at the Berlin Zoo after climbing the fence enclosure and jumping into its habitat. While the polar bears were being fed, the woman wanted to see the animals up-close. After jumping in, one of the animals bit her a few times before being rescued by zoo workers. As zoo keepers helped pull her out with rescue rings, workers tried to distract the polar bears by throwing them meat. The woman has major injuries and was immediately rushed to hopsital, where she remains. The injuries are not fatal.
What an idiot. A motive for why the woman jumped into the moat has not been reported, but there is not indication of the woman being mentally ill. Police have cited her with trespassing. Ha ha... (had to put that in there... Checkout the video below.

"Charlie bit me..."
I won’t say I’m NOT a fan of cutesy animal videos or baby videos... you know, stuff like that, but I haven’t really run into any that I absolutely love—except this one. Maybe you have already seen this, maybe you have not. It’s less than a minute long and anyone who sees it has to admit—“this little guy is adorable.”

GO: “Broadcast yourself”
Youtube is considered a new medium of information, especially in America as we travel through the digital age. While Youtube is popular for many things like highlighting achievements, giving artists the freedom to express themselves, and recording televised coverage, many videos unleash fires. Forbe’s compiled a “Top 10 List” of videos that made Youtube famous and among them include videos that exposed major mistakes to a mass audience—immediately. Without the ability to see these videos we (the public) would have done two things: 1. never heard about it or 2. arrived at the conclusion later, possibly until it was too late. Youtube has given us easy accessibility to information, that is usually protected even by mainstream news outlets.
This clip is taken from Forbes writer John Giuffo, who in his article writes:
“What former PayPal employees Chad Hurley, Steve Chen and Jawed Karim created when they founded YouTube wasn't just a video-sharing Web site--it was a portal, an addictive time-sink, a monumental marketing platform and a public commons, all rolled into one attention-deficit-disorder-friendly format.”
Interestingly enough, Youtube is banned in several countries because of its lack of censorship.
Here are the top 10 videos on the “list” in no specific order unfortunately, check them out:
1. George Allen, former R-senator from VA. This clip killed his chance for re-election into Congress.
2. The “Lazy Sunday” skit on SNL featuring Andy Samberg and Chris Parnell
3. The best display of a politico fight. Philip de Vellis, who worked (not-very-closely) to the Obama campaign inserted clips of Hillary’s speeches and inserted them in a 1984 Apple computer ad.
4. There are things that are catchy, but not like this. “Here It Goes Again.”
5. The raw, un-cut and powerful rock performance of a “webcam guitar solo.”
There are too many damn guitar vids, if you find it, please let me know :D
6. The Evolution of Dance. If you haven’t seen this video, then I’m afraid we can’t be friends.
7. Pokeman Music Video
8. The story of a 16-year-old American girl, named Bree and her crazy life. When viewers of this web-confessional realized it was a hoax by an actress, it sparked world wide buzz.
9. “Colbert goes to Washington...” The 2006 White House correspondents Assoc. Dinner
10. Free Hugs campaign - I LOVE THIS VID FOR SOME REASON...

Wolverine (sigh) My hero
So my whole family is fannatical about really any Marvel/DC comic book movie that comes to the big screen, but no one is excited more than me about the new "Xmen origins: Wolverine" movie set for release May 3! i couldn't believe my ears when I called my brother the other day and after I mentioned it, he said he hadn't heard about it. Well, I guess I'll cut him some slack this time...he has a newborn to take care of and just bought a house!
Anyways, "Wolverine" stars the incredibly hunky Hugh Jackman (same character of the Xmen trilogy), but besides this awesome beast is a great plot with incredible effects and... "I simply cannot wait to see it!"
Evidently, this was not the case for some 100,000 fans who pirated an illegal, unfinished version of the movie a month before hitting theatres. Someone leaked a copy online and before it was shut down, (according to the CNN vid below) it was downloaded 100,000 times. Film studios are upset, but still anticipate a huge outpouring of fans to theatres May 3! Will you be there? I will.

Just because he is the Prince of Pop, doesnt mean he can adopt kids...
Michael Jackson is back in the picture. He is simply amazing. I am a big fan, but holy hell I followed the entire trial and there is no way he should be able to adopt kids. I realize he already has children, but c'mon...
Now, he's got talent. There are few who really got the gift and he's one of them.
On March 5, the KOP announced his sold out world tour of 30 concerts from July to September.
I encourage all of you to chekout his unforgettable music vids like Thriller, Beat It, Billie Jean and much much more on Youtube. If you don't have time, remember to do it later... you won't regret it. :D

I have never seen a volcano erupt and I never want to...
Recent seismic activity has geologists concerned about the eruption of Mount RE-DOUBT, an old volcano in South Alaska. Last Monday, signs of unrest have occurred at the volcano, in the form of shallow earthquakes. The Alaska Volcano Observatory has declared the volcano is on “watch status.” As activity increases, the potential of an eruption is greater. So far, volcanic-ash emissions have been seen, but there is no panic yet. However, if red ash is seen, then volcanic eruption is imminent and its damage could be devastating.
Here are some vids of volcanic eruptions and the devestation they cause nt only by lava and other emissions, but thick layers of ash:

Coachella anyone??
Yes PLEASE!
April 17-19, a fun-filled-three-day extravaganza will take place at the fairgounds in Indo, where the annual Coachella music festival will be held.
If you haven't gone, you should. Mark your calendars and go ahead and buy your tickets. if you can afford the three-day pass go for it, otherwise it's $99 for a day pass.
I can only afford to go one day this year, but I can't wait. It's lots of fun and the weather should be great by that time. Checkout www.coachella.com for more info. Otherwise, look at some of the acts that have performed in the past and look at the line-up for this year. I really want to go on Sunday to see Lupe Fiasco. But, there are many other bands that perform each day of the festival, much more than a handful.
If you have gone, tell me when you did and what you liked or didn't like. Checkout these youtube vids to see what the fuss is all about.

"You're my favorite rich negro man..."
Okay so I do not mean to be a thorn in anyone's side here, but I was watching Oprah the other day when I was at the gym and couldn't believe my ears!
Oprah had an exclusive interview with Michelle Obama in Washington with Gayle. Michelle gave them a tour of the family's quarters and her daughters' new swing set, and she talked about how everything has to be "fort-friendly" for the girls to play. It really sounded great. In this months edition of O magazine, which features a great shot of Michelle and Oprah, she opens up about living in the White House and how she is re-doing the White House image. It sounded like a great interview, but Oprah's comments to Tyler Perry are what later disturbed me.
I do not watch Oprah often, but when Tyler Perry appeared as a guest on the show after talk of Michelle, I was offended.
First of all, when Perry walked on set he looked great. Oprah introduced him as a media mogul to the audience and then said, "You're my favorite rich negro man..." and Perry returned the compliment to Oprah saying: "You're my favorite rich negro woman." I was surprised at this comment, which I can laugh off, but there's more.
The panel, which included four others talked about how successful Perry's latest movie "Madea Goes to Jail" has been in the past couple of weeks and how many were worried of its success because of the release of the Jonas Brothers 3D concert movie. But fans didn't come out in droves to theatres as much as critics had anticipated. Instead, people saw the famous "Madea."
After talk of his ranking numero uno two weekends in a row, Perry was very humble and smiling, said he didn't read reviews. He was just wanted to make a movie to uplift people's spirits amidst all the pain afflicting our country right now.
But, then Oprah says, "I have to admit, I haven't seen it." When Gayle and I were in Chicago one day, she insisted we see it, but to get the full effect had to see a late showing in the "hood." Then Oprah says, "You white people wouldn't understand."
This pisses me off. Wasn't one of the single most significant factors of Obama becoming President supopsed to erase that color line and really bring everyone together?? Like my frustration in a past post, it's like more and more people are becoming more aware of the color line. People are even more outspoken now. I mean negro? And 'you white people?' I mean...what the hell?
If you have an opposing opinion, please post. Don't just watch.

But, then Oprah says, "I have to admit, I haven't seen it." When Gayle and I were in Chicago one day, she insisted we see it, but to get the full effect had to see a late showing in the "hood." Then Oprah says, "You white people wouldn't understand."
This pisses me off. Wasn't one of the single most significant factors of Obama becoming President supopsed to erase that color line and really bring everyone together?? Like my frustration in a past post, it's like more and more people are becoming more aware of the color line. People are even more outspoken now. I mean negro? And 'you white people?' I mean...what the hell?
If you have an opposing opinion, please post. Don't just watch.

"I think you're taking some time off tonight..." Letterman interviews Joaquin Phoenix 2-11-2009
I still cannot believe this interview.
Joaquin Phoenix is an awesome actor to me and handsome... (without the beard ofcourse) But, c'mon he forgot his co-stars names for calling out loud! I don't care who you are, show a little courtesy... not-to-mention when you go for an interview, don't chew gum--let alone stick it to the side of the host's desk.
I know Joaquin knows rules of propriety as many interviews he's done, he knows to be on rather 'good behavior' when you're on camera. This is the first time I have seen him act -- not normal.
He is a terrific actor--from Walk the Line to Gladiator-- marvelous movies.
But, sadly he is going to quit acting and pursue Hip-Hop.
Yes, I said it--Hip-Hop.
Evidently, he likes to beatbox and if you search for some more vids of him, you can vote for yourself whether or not he's good...or should just stick to acting. Ben Stiller did a funny impersonation of him at the Oscars when he introduced 'Best Cinematography' with Natalie Portman, but the clip above is the real thing and nothing is funnier.
It's obvious he is on something. It's a sad thing to see, whether its coke or something else. There's no nasal drip, so maybe he's just high or maybe heroine. Hate to say it, but I would rather him be on a 'weed high' than heroine.
His brother, River overdosed outside the Viper Room in '93 at age 22-ish (if I remember correctly) and Joaquin was with him. They were in a club with friends, including Christina Applegate and Samantha Mathis.
River had never been seen as a druggie, but months earlier admitted to paparizzi that "he wasn't going to lie anymore." It was reported that River went to do drugs with friends in the bathroom and when he left the club with Joaquin and everyone, collapsed outside. He died instantly and there was no reviving him.
Sad story.
I hope Joaquin is not following in his footsteps. I think we all have 'weird moments' but this interview is a little more. Am I reading too much into this or has been a little 'off the reservation' lately?
Tell me what you think.
Letterman: "So are you really not going to act anymore?"
Phoenix: "No."
Letterman: "Why is that?"
Phoenix: "I don't know."
ha ha ha Dara: " Are you coked out or something? What is your deal????"

IF YOU DONT CHECKOUT THESE VIDS UR CRAZY!
I decided to checkout a FEW clips of reporters "muckin' up" on air, but a FEW turned into SEVERAL, which turned into MANY... So funny, I can't even believe some of this shit. Anyways, if you want to laugh then these are sure to bust your gut a bit.
I'm actually majoring in broadcast journalism, even though it doesn't really 'float my boat.' Being on T.V. can be fun sometimes... as you can see in these vids, so check out at least a couple if you can spare a minute.
I have to do a package for 472 and for entertainment sake, thought I'd checkout some popular mistakes reporters make. Not always unavoidable, like some you will see, but some are.
1. Lesson 1: Say MORE than "OH MY GOODNESS." We have ALL seen 'NAKEDNESS.'
2. Lesson 2: what to do... what to do...
Do you make the call and go to commercial or wait for your FD??? hmm...
3. Lesson 3: DON'T CUSS WHEN YOU'RE WEARING A MIC!!!
4. Lesson 4: LIVE T.V. MEANS LIVE T.V.
5. Lesson 5: How to get workman's comp. when you're a reporter

'Live' Blog NOT so 'Live' ..... But, read anyway
So...grrr...I am writing to you late. My ‘live’ blog on the first State of the Union address made by the newly appointed 44th President of the United States—Barack Obama—is not so ‘live’...
No excuse. But, here are my thoughts...
After being introduced by Madame Speaker to the House, Pres. Obama began his address...
“The impact of this recession is real and it is everywhere. But, while our economy made be weakened and confidence shaken we are living through difficult and uncertain times... Tonight I want every American to know this: We will rebuild, we will recover, and the United States of America will be stronger than before.”
Although I did not vote for Obama (or McCain) I felt inspired by his speech. It is his job to prove to me, and our country, that his right decisions will REBUILD our country. His points on energy, healthcare, education, and energy reform were well
“That day of reckoning has arrived and the day to take charge of our future is here.”
Powerful. Hope he is not all talk. Washington is a new place, but I will not dare say that it has drastically changed from any other change-of-office.
Yes, many precedents have been made. But, America saw no improvement for 8 years. No change was made and there was no hope. Obama has given us hope and it sounds good.
President Obama:
“You can sweet talk all you want, but I am just going to wait and test whether or not you will actually make a CHANGE.”
Some people’s reaction to this may be, change cannot occur unless Americans unify and work hard together. But, let’s face reality... I work and go to school full-time and in certain areas of my life I am a leader and follower. I am not the President, so my role now is only to follow. My promise to Obama is to follow until he proves to be untrustworthy.
His words were strong:
“Now, is the time to act to boldly and wisely. Not only to revive this economy but to build a foundation for lasting prosperity...”
All I can say is... sounds good to me Boss. Now get to work... Here are some clips and because of my devotion to Youtube, here is the ENTIRE speech IF you are interested in seeing it again or, perhaps seeing it for the first time.

What color is our country? Must we choose?
I heard this morning on my way up to Fullerton (to take the EWP, which is RIDICULOUS btw) on KIIS, Ryan Seacrest talking with Diddy about his new cologne and other fragrances... and how he gets inspired for a new scent. Very interesting... NOT! Anyways, I did continue to listen and then Seacrest mentioned something about a 'Black Bond' to Diddy and how he made an audition tape and then after a little searching discovered that the rumors are true. How serious? I don't know. But, Diddy and Jamie Foxx are interested in the role.
My reaction to this is: HUH??? So, I guess now that we have a Black President, we (the media, people, human race) must make a Black version of all famous characters in film, comic books, etc. to be politically correct and fair. Diddy eluded to having a Black Bond and maybe even a Black Superman. To me, this is ridiculous. Is this what our world is coming to? Are we on the brink of a racial rebellion? I have many friends who are African American and we have discussed this issue many a time.
I could rant about the movie issues, and how this could quite possible demolish the Bond franchise, but I am more politically and socially driven in my feelings here. I believe the naivety of our country will consume us all soon, instead of driving us together and unifying our country, I do not think it is so far stretched to believe that some people--on both sides of the racial divide--will impede progress. Change will come, but what and at what cost to humanity?
I have lived in a time where I have not been privy to the segregation my peers and their families (of many colors, not just Black) have been. For their pain and suffering I am sorry. But, living throughout the South in different parts, I have been exposed to the lack of humanity humans possess. In these times of struggle AND change, I hope we as a united people are able to rise against the frailties of human nature and make a difference.
For every White thing, does there have to be Black? For every Black thing does there have to be White? For every Red thing, does there have to be Yellow?
You get the point. Color has caused divides since time began, will it ever cease? I pray it does. I do not intend to offend anyone with this post, but if I did ruffle your feathers... I just don't care. This is the world as I see it.

Inspiration from fashionistas to fashion felons....
So, I was checking out Christiana's fashion files and after I ranted on the "idiot-sincracies" of Montag and Pratt (not that I want to give them any more attention), I thought I would share some funnies of them for shits and giggles, it's Spencer's interview on David Letterman last year and Heidi's GAY music video!!

About the whole Chick Flix Thing... Listen up guys!
Okay! For all you "confused" males out there, let me give you some insight into this whole V-Day thing. While some girls want to be showered in chocolates and bears and you know... that kind of stuff, don't be mad... you chose the high-mantenance chick! Damn. For the others who want to do something sweet for either the girl you have been with a while or maybe not as long, just spend some time with her!
Females are a piece of work. I know. From the bottom of my heart, I realize our gender is complicated (not that you guys are a sweet slice of pie either), but we just want one night where you hold us and love on us and listen. So, if your one-on-one "quality time" V-day date includes a movie, I would probably take a couple notes...
1. Absolutely no serious epic dramas like Legends of the Fall, Braveheart or Gladiator, even though they are incredible! Nothing says I love you like "FREEDOM!!!!" or weeping over the death of Russell Crowe. Comprende??
2. Probably nothing too "Quentin Tarantino-e" like Pulp Fiction or Kill Bill. Action takes that light, lovey-dovey mood out of the air. You see, V-day is supposed to represent love, hearts, roses, cute and pretty things.... NOT blood and guts and kill kill, bang bang... Got me??? Moving on then....
3. Finally, here's a thought... to show you put some thought into it, maybe watch an "oldie but goodie," like When Harry Met Sally or Say Anything or Jerry Maguire or The Bodyguard or Pretty Woman. While these are chick flicks--in some way, shape, or form--they are entertaining and there won't be any of that obnoxious sobbing, that annoys us all... :D
Hope this helps! If it doesn't feel free to comment! If you're a chick and you disagree with me, that's cool and if want to add something, then GO FOR IT!!! I wish everyone a safe and happy V-day and that not EVERYONE is waiting until the last minute. you don't have to spend a lot, but for the sake of this Hallmark Holiday put at least a "lil" thought into something special...

Chick Flix - Love them ? Hate Them ?
Hellloooo... to all those who have commented on my blog...lol...which, is none by the way!
Anyways, I thought I would share what some people have called my "process" in deciding movies. I LOVE movies, of any kind really, although I am not a huge fan of subtitles, but I can tolerate them. First, I like to review the actual entertainment buzz and hype surrounding the movie online and checkout the cast and synopsis on 'imdb.com' and then I venture over to 'rottentomatoes.com' where I can always get credible feedback and ratings on the film and what the critics think. I have found it to be a pretty dependable site, plus it has trailers and it will give a score on the 'tomatometer' of whether or not it's good or "rotten."
My final step in the movie-decision process is...drum roll please... YOUTUBE! You guessed it, you can get all the different trailers there as well as red carpet premier footage and celebrity interviews, which we can all admit are fun now and then! So tell me, what's your process???
Oh and in honor of the fabulous Hallmark Holiday approaching, otherwise known as Valentine's Day, I am going to see the new chick flick "He's Just Not That Into You..." For all you guys out there, I am really sorry if your gf or "significant other" drags you along, but there are some hot chicks in it so it isn't all bad... Alright, enjoy the trailer below and let me know what you thought of it if you have seen it already!

"Will the REAL 'Youtuber' PLEASE stand up?"
Wanna hear somethin' weird? I do not have television. Whew!
That's an icebreaker.
Seriously. I have a television set, but I leave all the TV stuff I can't live without to Youtube for three reasons: 1. No commercials. 2. All temptation to be a couch potato and lose brain cells over wasteful TV melodrama is gone and 3. No cable bill.
Face it, if you thought about it, you could do it too. I like to think I'm an intense "media" consumer, but I've been without TV for 4 years now. The beauty is that I don't even have to use other websites like ABC or CNN to get my missed shows and news, because I can view it all on Youtube and it's easier. Not to mention, I can save all my videos and watch re-runs of them later. Some may view it as a hassle, because you may have to watch (longer than 10 minute programs) in separate clips, but whatever... patience is a virtue.
I have seen old movies, documentaries, biographies, speeches, music videos, famous old news packages, original music/video compilations, instruction videos, etc. on Youtube and while some suck, the majority are pretty cool and if nothing else... you will laugh your ass off!
If you haven't checked out Youtube or if you have and haven't seen these videos, then check 'em out. Here are some I've enjoyed:
1. Remember 1963? Young or old it doesn't matter.
2. Les Miserables.
3. Al Pacino.
4. Miss South Carolina answers question WRONG.
5. Guitar Hero.
6. Dane Cook Skit.
That's an icebreaker.

Can I have your attention PLEASSSE?
So I was sitting in my room the other night, with my feet kicked up on my desk, just thinking about what the hell I was going to blog about... the house was quiet and it was pretty late, so I was in the "zone" to pull my thoughts together and decide.
Chirp. Chirp. "I got nothin'," I said to myself.
I have to find something interesting, that will spark the attention of others and also not bore me to death in the wee hours of the morning (which is when I usually perform my student duties and begin my overly procrastinated work.) But, all I could think about was how the bright fluorescent light situated in the corner of my room was giving me a headache and really didn't feel like getting up to shut it off. But, I did and in doing so shook off the crazy, self-inflected pressure of choosing a blog. And as many idle 21-year-olds do (or at least the ones I know) with no drink in-hand, grabbed my headphones and reached for my laptop.
Music? Movie? No... homework. Grrr... It was as if Morpheus was staring into my eyes asking me to choose: blue pill or red pill. But, in this case the blue pill was homework and the red pill the temptation of doing something a lot more appealing than books and essays. But, no ones perfect...
I plopped on my bed and start rattling away. As usual, I minimized my email and brought up Youtube, found my play-list and pushed PLAY. Then it struck me!
Youtube. What an amazing thing. I guess I am what you call an avid user, maybe a Youtube feine, quite possible an addict, but let's be honest, who isin't?!?!? If each person had their fav five Internet sites like T-Mobile users, Youtube would definitely be there!
Now, I don't want to generalize, but everyone knows about Youtube, even if you haven't navigated the website or made an account you have heard about it in one medium or another... and if you really haven't then I will laugh at you. Just kidding, not really... anyways, check out the site and play around.
It's a fun and educational resource, although it is uncensored, so for those not specifically looking for porn or x-rated "stuff" beware. Anyways, just let me know what your "fav videos" are... and share your thoughts, feelings, etc. with me. If you have uploaded videos, let me know and I will do the same for you. We all like different things, but we all become more knowledgeable the more we experience. So, for now...
More about you. Less about me. Let's talk about this! Do you "YOUTUBE?"
