This made my day!

Panther fans have something to celebrate: Friday Night Lights has scored a two-season pickup, securing the series for 26 more episodes.

NBC and DirecTV agreed to green light a fourth and fifth season, following this season's model in which DirecTV airs the episodes first, commercial-free, before they arrive on NBC, Variety says.

An NBC rep could not immediately be reached for comment.

The fate of the low-rated, critically acclaimed football drama has been in question since last year, when NBC — the show's original home — began looking for a network partner for it. Friday Night just concluded its third season.

Are you ready for some football?

Finally, we all get to find out what happens to Coach Taylor when he goes to a new school. We gets to find out what happens to Matt since he chose not go to school to be with his grandma and Julie. Not to mention what happens to Tim when he goes off to college. Word to Gossip Girl OMFG! Can't wait.

Food Blogs




I love food blogs, I wish I can say I am a cooking machine and can whip up a meal from scratch as if I was a walking recipe book but I can't. So I take pleasure in reading about food, recipes and etc. The other day I stumbled upon this blog called "The Pioneer Woman" and it hits all the right spots.


Meet Ree Drummond aka. The Pioneer Woman. A former city girl turned domestic country wife, who writes about anything from her kids to food to photography. What I am particularly drawn to is her food blog, to say the least her recipes (look) absolutely intoxicating. She takes time to go into every recipe because with each recipe there is a back story, and with it a step by step detailed to the bone description (along with pictures...referring to the look part). It makes you feel like you're literally sitting inside her kicthen watching her cook up these dishes.

Aside from sharing her recipes, she also is enjoys photography and gardening. Both of which has it's own section on The Pioneer Woman.

So do check it out on your spare time, it's a wonderful blog to visit.

Who's Gonna Save My Soul


I posted this a while back when I first started blogging here. It's a short clip made to "Who's Gonna Save My Soul" by Gnarls Barkley. The video was directed by Chris Milk and it features Jorma Taccone (The Lonely Island) and Aasha Davis (Friday Night Lights). The first time I posted it, I didn't do it much justice simply by just posting it. I am sure many of you have seen it by now, but if you haven't it's a dope little piece.



Here's a review of the clip that I pulled off of Wikipedia:

The video is set in a diner, with the song playing throughout in the background. The key events revolving around a couple while they are separating. The man then stabs himself in the chest, and pulls out his heart, places it on the table and gives it to the woman. He explains to the woman that his heart "is actually hers now", that he will "never be able to get over her, and from now on every girl that I meet will be meticulously compared to the false memory of what you and I once 'had'".

The woman tries to accommodate him by telling him "well, maybe I can just keep it for a little while and use it for small things like when I've had a really shitty day or when I need someone to talk to or if I need someone to move something really heavy, and then eventually I'll give it back to you when we both find someone new". The man, describing himself as heartless, says that it, "unfortunately, does not work that way, I will now treat each women with a passive/aggressive contentiousness that will ruin relationship after relationship for years to come." The heart then comes to life, growing arms, legs and a mouth, and begins to sing the lyrics to the song on the counters of the diner into a piece of broccoli before finally stabbing itself with a knife and pulling the man's head out of its body. The head looks around, staring off into space.

The scene cuts back to the man staring out the window as the head is. When the woman finally asks "are you even listening to me?" The man replies with a simple "No."

This is our last goodbye





This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die.
But it's over
Just hear this and then I'll go
You gave me more to live for,
More than you'll ever know.

Well, this is our last embrace,
Must I dream and always see your face
Why can't we overcome this wall
Baby, maybe it's just because I didn't know you at all.

Kiss me, please kiss me,
But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation.
Oh, you know it makes me so angry 'cause I know that in time
I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye.

Did you say, "No, this can't happen to me"
And did you rush to the phone to call
Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind saying,
"Maybe, you didn't know him at all,
you didn't know him at all,
oh, you didn't know"

Well, the bells out in the church tower chime,
Burning clues into this heart of mine.
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes, and the memories
Offer signs that it's over, it's over.

Epic Fail

About a month ago I got a pair of APC's from this neat little store in downtown Toronto called TNT Blu. With every purchase they hand out a scratch card with a code inside, that the customer can then sign up to their website and enter a draw for a $500 gift card. They do this once a month, and as long as your name isn't drawn up, you are eligible for the next month's draw.

Today I got an email from TNT Blu, regarding the monthly draw.


HOLY SHIT
did I win?



You see, I have a 20 inch LCD monitor so normally my windows are not maximized so when I opened my email it looked like this...

HOLY SHIT
did I win?


Because I got like semi hyped when I saw my name and congratulations in the (presumably) the same sentence.

BUT
this happened...

I maximized my screen to claim my prize

EPIC FAIL!

Dean Blundell told me to

WATCH THIS



Oh noooo she dddiiidnt!

A wonderful Message by George Carlin

This is a repost, I posted this up about a month ago and since then it's been something that I read back to myself over and over again. Also because I've gotten feedback from friends of mine who also liked the post. So here it is again.

A wonderful Message by George Carlin

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints.

We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much , and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be a round forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comesfrom deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

I am so friggen bored

Thank god I got my BFF my "internet" to keep me entertain until I decide to call it a night and go to bed. Usually this time of the night is when I roam aimlessly through the blogosphere to find "cool" things. Well after reading up Jake Davis blog (who is one of those dudes with a gazillion "slashes" next to his name so I won't even get into what he does...that's your job to find out). Anyways as I was saying, after that I took a quick glance over at TREND LAND and I found these.

From TREND LAND
Vermont based Illustrator Justin Reed seems to have quite a collection of killer illustrations of the most classic films in history under his sleeve, but it seems as though has has not really been sharing them with the public. Its seems there will be upcoming opportunity to get your hands on a few original illustrations which were commissioned for a group show at the APW Gallery in New York. He has done 5 works based on 5 films for the show. The five films are Taxi Driver, The Godfather, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Casablanca and Monty Python and the Holy Grail. They were done with acrylic on 100% Cotton paper, measuring 5.5 x 9 inches. They will each be priced at $150.00.

These babies are too sweet, if I got the dough I would copp these with the quickness. But they will serve as eye candy just for now.

28 things for GUYS to keep in mind during a first date

After watching last nights episode of "The Office" where Kevin had a dilemma about whether or not he should ask this girl out on a date and if he does what he should do. Well if you caught it last night then you know what I'm talking about (Boobs) Just kidding.

Anyways I just skimming through the blogosphere and I found this neat little list regarding the "28 steps GUYS need to take on the FIRST DATE!" Why 28, I have no idea but it's pretty funny but interesting read.

This is gonna be a long read so you can bounce if you don't want to read it. DEUCES

1) Make sure you know what she’s wearing so you’re not too overdressed cuz you’ll make her feel bad, and you dont wanna be underdressed cuz ull make her look bad.

2) Brush your teeth and make sure u look clean and smell fresh

3) “Hey, I just wanted you to know Im outside, but dont rush. Imma just listen to some music in the car.” Dont rush her to be ready as soon as you’re there. Let her take her time and come out when she’s comfortable, Im sure she’s aware of the time.

4) When she get out the front door, get outta your car too.

5) Walk up to her and give her a hug and a compliment, but dont be too lame, point out something that specific. ” I love your shoes/earrings/ ur hair.” Dont be so cliche to just say you look good.

6) If her body is righteous and her booty looks wicked in them pants, or her boobs are looking great, try not to stare! lmao. like fuck, dont pull a move like…’dayum, cant wait to get back here tonight!’ lmao

7) Open the car door for her.

8) Close the car door for her…lol…I know that sounds obvious but most people dont close the door and just walk off after they open it.

9) Dont drive off until she buckles up, let her know that her safety is your concern.

10) Ask her if shes cold or hot, heat or a/c?

11) Make sure you have suitable music, if its your first date, you might not wanna play any k-ci and jojo, r.kelly, or plies! lol

12) Dont try to be all Super Dave and drive like a lunatic, drive like that on your own. Die by yourself! lol

13) Hopefully, the location for the date is a social place. A movie is good, as long as you have coffee/tea/ dinner before or after. A date at your house all alone doesnt give a good impression and neither does just a movie date…cuz you cant talk at the movies. Learn about the person you’re with. Do something fun and beyond the average…dont be so typical, but dont be too extra either. Go to the zoo, go to a museum, art gallery, jazz bar, an exhibit of sorts, a walk in a special park, go bowling, mini golfing etc. You wanna stand out from all the guys who date her. Chances are, if you’re taking her out, she’s probably special to you. Special ppl deserve special treatment. Im sure the last guy already took her to the movies…so right now, you’re every other guy. Think about it.

14) Always make sure that she’s not hungry or thirsty, thats shes also not too hot or cold. Let her know you care for her comfort.

15) Dont ask too many closed ended questions, or too many personal questions. Dont talk about too many personal things of ur own or pry about her business. Step by step. Like I said, comfort first.

16) Dont start talking about sex or freaky stuff either. If she’s really the special woman you think she is, it means she prolly has a lot of dudes hollering. Dont be one of the dudes that juss thinks shes hot with no personality or character. She doesnt wanna feel like all you want to do is just bang her. Respect the woman and value her fully. Besides, once the topic of sex kicks in, how do you know you really like her? Cuz now sex plays a factor into your feelings and actions. How you know you like a woman is by how long you’re willing to go on being good friends without trying to pull a move. Its that you get along on a personal level and you guys speak at a good capacity and pace. Trust me when I say this, do not talk about sex! Dont fit in, stand out!

She prolly has a lot of dudes trying to sleep with her and ask her those stupid questions, be the guy who doesnt. Refresh her faith in men! Dont be a fuckin dog. lol. Not all of us think with our dicks…So dont reinforce the stereotypes. She probably has invested a lot of time in creating such a beautiful person (intentionally or not), so make note of that. Take that in, and show her you appreciate how she has respected her mind, her roots, her values, her culture, her body. She’s not just a piece of meat. lol

17) Try to talk about ideas and deep, intellectual or philosophical things. Try not to gossip or pull to many hater comments. lol…like “omg! i was blah blah yesterday, and this chick was wearing ray tay. so wack.” lol. Its cool for a second, but…I dunno, if she’s the an intellectual, educated or the deep thought type, get a piece of her mind. Stimulate her senses. Personally, I love that stuff. Smart women are the hottest thing in the world. As long as she isnt crazy opinionated and thinks the whole world is gonna end, ppl are psycho, everyones retarded and she insists you believe it too…if shes crazy, end the date early by msging ur boy, or ur girl and telling her to call you saying its an emergency and get the fuck outta there! lose the chick too! lol (im playing…sorta)

18) Be a gentlemen and pay for her, hopefully she’ll insist to pay (I hate it when women never offer to pay, I never let them pay, but I hate when they never insist). If she pays for dinner because she feels bad and really wants equality (which is fuckin awesome), you better pay for the movie, or the admission to wherever the hell you’re going next. lol

19) Try not to pick up the phone and have a full out conversation or bb or heavily text anyone while ur out with her. Let her know she has your undivided attention.

20) Dont play the music too loud in the car that she cant talk to you.

21) At the end of the night be sure to thank her for her company and time. Let her know that you appreciated it and maybe juss say thanks for whatever she did during the date.

22) Get out and open her car door, hold her hand while she’s getting out.

23) Let go of her hand after she gets out! Dont be all weirdo and desperate and shit! lol. Dont act all super confident and think that you gonna score and shit.

24) Walk her to her front door, unless her dad is a psycho and will shoot ur fuckin brains out. Then open the door for her, hug her quicktimes and get the hell back inside and gun it until you cant see her house in the rear mirrors no more.

25) If her daddy aint psycho, then walk her to her door. And juss hug her. Dont force a kiss!!! In fact, dont even do it at all!!! Its better that way, even if she invites you in, dont go! Its not that you’re playing hard to get, but its to let her know, I respect you, and this is not what I had planned. I want to let you know I adore your mind and personality and I dont want us to regret anything so soon. Easy come, easy go right. You want to move in stages and increments. You want things to look forward to. Today a hug, tmr you hold hands, the next you kiss, the next you spend alone time in a more private setting, the next you cuddle, then maybe at the point you guys can…boom shaka laka. lol. Try to make it fairy tale like. You want to give her a story she can call her girls and brag about. “OMG! He is so chivalrous. He didnt even come in when I asked him too. And he didnt try to kiss me or nothing.”

Trust me! Be a winner! lol

Just hug her and smile, and in your most sincerest voice…”Thank you so much for spending the evening with me.” As lame as that sounds, its true. I mean…understand, a lot of things in life are lame, especially the truth. Sometimes being lame is a lot better than then trying to dress things up and trying to sound smooth and suave. Somethings are so real, it has to stay raw. Just say it how you feel it. Thats how you know its real sometimes…by how lame it is. You say cool things to sound slick, and you say lame things cuz its true…you say stupid things cuz ur an idiot. So just dont say anything stupid. I dont have an example of anything stupid…lol

26) This ones for ladies, please, say something nice too beyond juss thank you. We like to feel appreciated too, especially after all the hardwork that was put in to make you feel like a princess. And please ask us to give you a call or text, or bb you when we get home so you know we’re home safe. It means more than you know.

27) Back to the fellas, drive away only after she goes inside the house. When you get back in the car, look back one last time in case she waves. Wave back, dont be all gangsta and drive away doing a fuckin burnout blasting “So Far Gone” down her street.

28) And dudes when you get home, do msg her back and tell her that you’re home safe, tell her you had a wonderful evening once again. It doesnt hurt to tell them that. Tell them to sleep well and that you hope to see them soon.

Of course this really only apply to people who have found someone special and not just any regular girl. If you want a real woman, you gotta treat her right. Good things don't come easy, so you’re gonna have to put in work. Remember then time and effort that you put into a woman, determines their value. Just like an education or a good paying job. You had to work for that shit. Sometimes, you’ll just be blessed with a good girl and everything works out really fast…it happens, but it's rare. So this is what we all need to learn.

dontchange



A friend of mine hit me up with this song today, and it brought back so many memories (LOL). But this is easily hands down my favourite joint from Musiq. The video is a excellent touch too.

Lately you’ve been questioning if I still see you the same way
Cause through these trying years we gonna both physically change
Now don’t you know you’ll always be the most beautiful woman I know
So let me reassure you darling that my feelings are truly unconditional, see

I'll love you when your hair turns grey girl
I still want you if you gained a little weight
The way I feel for you will always be the same
Just as long as your love don't change
I was meant for you and you were meant for me
And I make sure that I'll be everything you need
Girl the way we are is how it's gonna be
Just as long as your love don't change

I’m not impressed more or less by them girls on the TV and magazines
Cause honestly I believe that your beauty is way more then skin deep
cause everything about you makes me feel I have the greatest gift in the world
And even when you get on my last nerve
I couldn’t see myself being with another girl

I'll love you when your hair turns grey girl
I still want you if you gained a little weight
The way I feel for you will always be the same
Just as long as your love don't change
I was meant for you and you were meant for me
And I'll make sure that I'll be everything you need
Girl the way we are is how it's gonna be
Just as long as your love don't change

So don’t waste your time worrying about
Small things that ain’t relevant to me
Cause to my understanding your all I want and need
See what I’m gonna say is I’m here to stay
And as long as your love doesn’t change for me
Baby darling I swear that , I swear I ain’t going nowhere

I'll love you when your hair turns grey girl
And I still want you if you gained a little weight
The way I feel for you will always be the same
Just as long as your love don't change
I was meant for you and you were meant for me
And I make sure that I'll be everything you need
Girl the way we are is how it's gonna be
Just as long as your love don't change

You are my baby (you’re my baby yeah yeah)
Don’t you change baby (don’t you change baby no)
I love you I do know (baby you gotta understand that I love you baby yeah yeah)
(Don’t you know, you gotta know you got to know)
