57. Mashup Monday pt. 5... on a Wednesday

Being that this will be the last mashup playlist of 2010, I figured it was only appropriate to use DJ Earworm's United States of Pop (in which he mixes up a bunch of the most popular songs from the previous year). The new one for 2010 just came out yesterday and is at the top of the playlist. '09, '08, and '07 follow (in that order).

Personally I think '09 is the best so far, but you can judge for youself.

Enjoy.

56. I'm jing-a-linging... from here to the ceiling

On any given day, at any given moment, there is a chance that a passerby of my cubicle will catch me playing some sort of extravagant air-instrument.

Most of the time while I'm at work I try to drown out the sounds of the other people in the office by putting on my headphones and blasting some tunes.

Today I've been straight JAMMING to Gavin Degraw's Chariot album...

Taylor asked me to send him all of the "stripped" songs and then I started listening myself. I've been doing mostly air-drums... and, since there's barely anyone in the office cuz of the holiday, i've been doing a lot of actual drums... banging on the desk, floor, chair, computer keyboard... pretty much everything in the 3ft radius around my body


Here's the album (with both the normal and 'stripped' version of each song) if you wanna jam-out yourself...

55. Fun with facial hair

We had a big snow storm yesterday. I decided to spend the entire day lounging on the couch in my sweats watching football... so pretty much a typical sunday for me.

This morning I woke up and found that my mom had already removed all the snow from the driveway... JACKPOT. Then, after I had gotten all pampered and pretty for work, I found out that I didn't need to go in today.

Kind of mixed feelings about it.

On the one hand, I could spend another day in my oh so comfortable sweatpants on my oh so comfortable couch in front of my oh so entertaining television.

On the other hand, since I get an hourly wage, whenever I am not in the office I am not getting paid. And since i'm only allowed to work a maximum of 15 hours per week I always try to hit that 15 so I can maximize my earnings. Normally it wouldn't be a big deal at all to miss a day cuz I could just spread my hours out over the rest of the week. Problem is, this week is shortened. The office is closed friday and I was planning on taking thursday off. So that only leaves me 2 days to do my 15 hours. Not the end of the world to work a 7hr and an 8hr day. But if possible i try to avoid it.

Anyway, there was nothing i could do about it. I was stuck at home. So I did what any normal person would do in such a situation....

I played with a razor...

Full Beard:

I call it... THE SWIRL:

Soulful Mustachio:

Normal Mustachio:

Right now I'm still rockin' the mustachio. Figured I'd keep it for a little bit. Ya know.... just in case I happen to stumble upon a Bashio.

54. Tis the season...

Tis the season for Christmas...

Tis the season for decorating the Christmas Tree...

Tis the season for putting up the Christmas lights...

Tis the season to stuff stockings...

Tis the season for watching Christmas movies...

Tis the season to make Christmas cookies...

Tis the season to welcome Santa Claus into your home...

Tis the season to open a bunch of presents...

Tis the season for me to do none of these things.



BUT...

Tis ALSO the season for making Gingerbread houses...

...and for two Jewish kids to take 1st and 2nd place in the annual Glowatz Gingerbread House Competition....

Suck it, all you Christians  ; )

Merry Christmas

53. Google Docs

I'm a fan of animation. I'm also a fan of google. By the transitive property of Google Docs, that makes me a fan of people who make animation using google...

52. A WISH

All I want for Christmas is... JEGGINGS!!

51. Mashup Monday pt. 4

The end of the year is approaching quickly. Maybe you're gonna be hosting some holiday parties... Maybe you need some party music... Maybe you enjoy mashups...

Here is a playlist that I put together of MY personal favorite mashups:

50. The best 30 seconds of my life...

 This one's dedicated to all them girls that let us flop around on top of them...

49. Blog Fail

I apologize to anyone out there who reads this blog on a consistent-ish basis. I realize I haven't posted a single thing since Thursday and, believe you me, it doesn't make me feel good to slip into the AO style of blogging. I've had a little bit of 'Blogger's Block' in the past couple days, I think somewhat due to a bout of mild depression brought on by the lack of Ithaca friends I had to drink with this weekend. But it's a brand new week and hopefully that will bring me a plethora of new things to post about.

I'm in a pretty good mood today, probably because of these reasons:

1. I finally finished the 1000+ page Stephen King novel, that I started back in July, before I went to bed last night (aka as the sun was coming up this morning). I bought the book at the airport when I was flying out to LA for Alex's cousin's wedding for something to read whilst on the plane. Once I got home from the trip I usually picked it up to read once I got in bed, but I wouldn't get very far before getting tired and falling asleep. So it was taking forever to get through it. I got right around half way through the book when I stopped reading it (not really on purpose, just kinda forgot about it). Anyway, I picked it back up about a week ago and finally finished it.
Thing I learned after reading this book:
-Don't blow up a huge Meth lab that's filled with propane tanks, ESPECIALLY if it's located in a town that's covered by an impenetrable alien force field, because it'll create a huge wall of fire that will destroy everything in it's path.
-If there's a virtually inescapable wall of fire heading towards you, but you don't have a fall-out shelter to take refuge in... grab the nearest oxygen tank and then hide under a pile of potatoes.
-If you were able to get to a fall-out shelter and there's only one other person there with you, and you decided to kill the other person because you'll be able to sustain yourself longer, don't tell that other person that you're gonna kill them. This will most likely completely back-fire once they decide to mount a counter-attack and you'll probably end up being killed yourself.
And lastly...
-If you DO happen find yourself in a town when an invisible alien force field lowers upon it and traps everyone and everything inside, and some cracked-out idiot DOES decide to blow up a huge meth lab filled with propane tanks and other explosive materials, and a huge wall of fire DOES destroy basically the entire town and everyone in it and turns all the air into poisonous toxic gas... BUT somehow you manage to survive all this and are clinging to life with barely enough oxygen to sustain yourself... just find the alien communication device that's controlling the whole thing and beg them to stop fucking with you, cuz this will probably persuade them to finally lift the force field right as you're about to die... and you'll live happily ever after.

2. I'm wearing a fresh pair of jeans, and I am looking shnazzy. That's right... no holes and no sporadic looking patch jobs. My lil bro works at Old Navy, which gives him a crazy employee discount at Old Navy, Gap, and Banana Republic. We happened to find ourselves in a mall yesterday in which a Gap store was conveniently located. I got a pair of jeans that were normally $50 something for like $25.

3. When I got into work today there were no emails that said I had to do anything. Also, there's this office communicator program that everyone who works here uses. It's basically the same thing as AIM or iChat. A little while ago I added everyone I work with (my bosses), as well as those people who work in the cubicles around me so that I know when these people are and are not at their desks. When I came in earlier and checked the communicator, every single person's status was either 'out of office' or 'offline' which basically means they're out of the office. It makes me happy when the people I have to work with or have to work near are not here.

So right now I'm just chillin in my cubicle bumpin' the new Kanye album with my feet up on the desk.

Life is good.


Notable events this week:
Ally G's return to the US and arrival in the Dirty Jerz
Gingerbread Competition
and I think Christmas might be this week... but don't quote me on that

48. OMG... IT'S A FLASH DANCE MOB!!!!

Completely unreal... but hilar


Semi-real... and heart warming


Completely real... and AWESOME



I say we organize our own flash dance mob. Anyone interested meet at my house this Saturday at 6am for the first rehearsal. Actually... better make it 5am. Like I always say, "You can never be TOO prepared when it comes to flash dance mobbing."

47. E.T. phone home...

That 6 cheeseburgers comment made me hungry. Naturally I had to get out of bed to go get something to eat... and watch the last 20 minutes of E.T. (that ending is a real tear-jerker).

The ushe with me, really.

Now I'm back in bed... which means only another two hours til I actually fall asleep.

46. McCafe

Anyone seen this new commercial for the McDonalds McCafe?

I just thought it was a pretty sick commercial. It's not gonna get me to go buy their McCafe... but I do kinda want like 6 double cheeseburgers right now.



ps... my new life goal is to be a professional hand dancer

45. Why am I still awake?

I don't understand my sleeping habits. And by sleeping habits I mean LACK of sleeping habits.

Why can't I just fall asleep at a normal hour like the rest of humanity? WHY???


k... actually going to sleep........... maybe.

44. Listen while you work

Do you like to listen to music while you study, but your Lil Wayne and Lady ga-GA songs are just TOO distracting??? Are Beethoven and Bach just NOT QUITE CUTTING IT for you????? IS YOUR CAT MAKING TOOOO MUUUCH NOISE??????????

Then this playlist is for YOUUU...

43. Practice safe blogging

After watching this video I realized that I was not using correct blogging posture...

I am now working on preventing local warming.

42. Mashup Monday pt. 3

If you're a Beatles fan you'll enjoy the Beatles - Black Eyed Peas mashup.
I'm also diggin' the T Swift - Wiz Khalifa song.

41. Studying? What's that?

Blog Shout-Out to everyone who has any sort of text/exam/presentation/due date this week. Whether you're in grad school, undergrad, elementary school, already out in the working world, or in training with a secret clan of elite warriors... sorry I'm still wishing I was a ninja assassin. Anyway, to all those who have a strenuous week ahead of them, I give you these words of wisdom:

You're almost done. The finish line is in sight. Your break begins in just a few short days. Maybe you're looking forward to a well deserved vacation... or maybe just heavy drinking and snowball fights. Whatever your plans are for your break, they are almost within your grasp. You've done the work, you've put in countless hours, you've strained your brain in ways you didn't know possible, all for this one week, these next few days, these last couple classes. So take a moment and reflect on what you've accomplished over this past semester/year/season and give yourself a pat on the back...



...and then get your head out of the clouds, stop reading this bullshit, and get back to work. You're not out of the woods quite yet...

40. Mathemagic

Who knew Kenneth from 30 rock was this good at math when he dyes his hair dark brown...

39. I wanna be a Ninja Assassin

One of the more badass fight sequences from one of the more badass movies...
(start it at 1:45)

38. Sooo... how was your weekend?

A lot of people feel like they're wasting a day or feel lazy if they sleep in late or if they don't get out and accomplish something. Not me. I am perfectly content to stay in bed til the sun is almost setting and sit in front of the tv for hours on end.

Take this weekend for example...

I have literally done nothing this weekend... and when I say 'nothing', I mean NOOOTHIIINNG. I don't think I've stepped foot outside since coming home from work Friday afternoon.

I've basically resided in two places the entire weekend... my bed and the couch. Yesterday I woke up around 2pm and today around 3. How in the eff could you be in bed til that late you ask? You stay up to a retardedly late hour for really no reason... that's how haha. Its amazing how invested I can get in a movie at 2am after watching about a minute of it. Last night is a perfect example.

Actually, last night I spent some time away from the tv. I picked up my guitar and played for a while, then hopped on my keyboard and learned a couple new songs. I decided to call it quits once I saw it was 2am... but the jam sesh had worked up my appetite. I had to eat before I went to bed. So I ventured downstairs and fixed myself a bowl of cereal.

It doesn't take long to eat a bowl of cereal... probably only like 5 min. But in that time I found one of the 30 for 30 films on ESPN about all the recruiting scandals during the 80's at Southern Methodist University in Texas... and I was hooked. I was too intruiged to stop watching. According to the tv it was only supposed to go til around 3am. But i guess one of the sporting events on ESPN earlier had pushed back the programming. Needless to say... it didn't end at 3. But by that time I was too far invested to turn the tv off.

Most people would consider a weekend like this a complete waste of time... and they're probably right. But every now and then I enjoy taking a day or two to just lounge around in my sweatpants and do absolutely nothing.


Well actually, it wasn't a complete waste. I did do some stuff to better my life. I updated my resume, made up some new cover letters, and prepared some other materials to send out to companies to try and get a new job. Fight, me!

37. Anyone home?

I live in a house. To the left of my house is another house. To the right of my house is yet another house. These houses are all very similar. They occupy about the same amount of space, they are designed almost identically (it's that whole suburban thing), and they are all being lived in... well... sort of.

My mom and myself live in this house. In the house on the left lives a older couple (about retirement age at this point). We've always been friendly with them. Both my house and the house to the left see a fair amount of activity... people going in and out on a regular bases, cars coming, going and changing positions etc. This isn't quite the case for the house on the right.

The house on the right is occupied by an old woman. Well actually, before this morning, I wasn't really sure if it was occupied by anyone anymore. Unlike my house and the house on the left, the house on the right sees almost no activity... ever. When I say this woman is old I mean REALLY old. Like could die any day old.  She never goes in or out and no one ever comes over. I don't think I've seen her in a good year. I don't really know how she survives in there. I honestly wouldn't have been surprised if someone knocked on our door one of these days and told us that she had died in there like 6 months ago. It may be mean but I was kinda hoping that was the case.

This old woman's name is Mrs. Smith. She kinda looks like this.

A seemingly lovely old lady.

Except her personality is more like this...

For as long as I can remember, Mrs. Smith has despised my family. Her husband actually used to live in this house before they got married. I guess you could say she was the 'girl next door'. He moved in with her after they got married and my parents moved in to this house. Sometime between when my parents moved in and when I was born her husband died and she became an evil old woman.

She literally used any excuse imaginable to call the police on us. Actually sometimes she called them without any excuse whatsoever. I remember riding my big wheel up and down the sidewalk around my block and her coming out of her house as I was passing by yelling at me to get off her sidewalk or else she would call the police... kthanks lady.

Another time, the police showed up at our door with no warning at all. When we asked what in the eff we could have done this time they told us that she had called them because our dog had gone #2 on her lawn. First of all, it wasn't even on her main lawn. It was on that little strip of grass that sits between the sidewalk and the street. Like c'mon. Who really cares about that section of grass. Second of all, our dog hadn't been out in the front of the house all day. So we knew for a fact that our dog DIDN'T take a shit on her lawn... although we kinda wish it had.

What had ACTUALLY happened was that the house one more down from the house on the left also had a dog (actually several houses on the street had dogs)... and that dog had gotten out earlier that day... and while he was roaming the block he decided to take a dookie on her lawn. But instead of knocking on our door and asking us if it was our dog that had shat on her property and then telling us to take appropriate action to rectify the situation, she just assumed that it was us and called the cops.... kbye.

So you can see why we haven't really been 'saddened' by her disappearance in recent times. But, alas, as I was leaving for work earlier today, I actually saw her step foot outside her house. Our suspicions (and/or hopes) that she had died in her sleep were crushed.

But we can keep our fingers crossed hehe...

36. A Working Class Hero

Today is the 20th anniversary of the death of a true musical icon... John Lennon

One of the most gifted songwriters and musicians this world has ever seen. His songs touched the hearts of millions of people and will continue to do so for a very long time. Together with Paul McCartney, he took the Beatles to heights that were unheard of and will probably never be matched. The Beatles are the best selling band in history, having sold (and continuing to sell) more albums than any other band/musical artist... ever.

Here's a little tribute to John...

35. It's not what it looks like... I SWEAR!

Do you ever get caught in a moment where you look and/or sound like a complete fool? I'm talking about those times where either you don't think anyone's around looking/listening or something happens so unexpectedly that it catches you completely off guard and you react in the most unflattering way imaginable.

The second of those two situations happened to me earlier today... I was sitting in my cubicle at work and I got some kind of tiny object (like dust) in both of my eyes at the exact same time. I can safely say that this has never happened to me before in my life and it caught me off-guard. My face definitely spazzed out for a good two seconds... Luckily no one was around to see it (this time) but I couldn't help think about what I must have looked like at that exact moment to someone if they had happened to walk by my cubicle at just the right time to see it... probably like an absolute ruhtard.

Then I started thinking about other situations of this ilk that I've found myself in...

Not that long ago I was at work and one Thomas Randall Lord decided to vid-chat me. I didn't want to make a lot of noise so I put in my headphones and as he spoke I just typed back. After a few minutes I took my head phones out of my ears and listened briefly... then I said aloud to Tom, "I don't think there's anyone around me." He didn't hear me so I repeated a little louder, "I don't think there's anyone around me." Literally immediately after I said that the phone rang in the cubicle directly next to mine and the guy who inhabits that cube picked it up. Like eeeeeeee.  Lets recap... since I had my headphones in my computer there were no sounds of Tom being produced... so this guy heard absolutely nothing coming from my cube until I randomly say TWICE, "I don't think there's anyone around me." Good one Joel.

I remember during senior year of high school I was taking a math test and my mind wandered from the test to some song that I was probably listening to in the car earlier that day or something. Anyway, I remember I started mouthing the lyrics of the song as I sang it in my head... it only lasted a couple of seconds but I remember looking up from my test to see my Math teach staring directly at me with a look on her face that said, "What in the eff is this kid doing". Smoooooth.


I'm sure there are many other instances of me looking like a damn fool that I just can't remember right now. Hit me up with your awkward moment(s). I'd love to hear them.

34. Death by spiral notebook

My boss comes over to my cubicle and asked me to punch holes in a stack of papers that I recently printed out for him. While he was at my cube he was trying to think of the word 'tabs' and/or 'separators'... as in the thing you put in three-ring binders that separates the papers into different sections:

While my boss was racking his brain for those words he mentioned the 'Trapper Keeper'. PS remember trapper keepers?

Anyway, his mentioning the trapper keeper got the two people in the cubicles next to mine (If you refer back to 11. Don't talk to me... please this would be Darren and Lisa) talking about the different forms of notebooks they used back in grade school i.e. 3 ring binders, spiral notebooks, marble notebooks etc. PS remember marble notebooks?

At one point during their reminiscing Darren goes, "...hahah you could remove the spiral from the spiral notebook and make a shiv out of it." Oh really Darren? REALLY? This is what you remember from your GRADE SCHOOL days?

Needless to say... I think I'll make it a point not to stray near his cubicle from now on.

33. chugga chugga choo choo... hah-HAH!

Just got back from another installment of Free-Movie Tuesday.

This weeks feature: 'Unstoppable' with MAH MAN Denzel...

A heart-pounding thriller about two guys who must put aside their differences a.k.a. their age and save a small town in Pennsylvania a.k.a. THE WORLD from a deadly freight train a.k.a. a missile the size of the Chrysler Building.


OK it wasn't really that 'heart-pounding'. Actually I kind of enjoyed it more as a comedy than as a believable thriller. I'm not sure if it's ruined him for me or made him that much better but I can no longer take Denzel Washington seriously after watching Jay Pharaoh do impressions of him on SNL...




ps: don't watch these if you ever wanna take Denzel Washington seriously again haha

I seriously spent the whole movie going "hah-HAH" or "alright... okay" after every one of Denzel's lines. He even saved me the trouble and did it himself once.

BUT... the funniest line in the movie (in my opinion at least) didn't even come from Denzel. It came from some no-name character that was in the movie for less than 30 seconds. After describing the process of derailing the train he goes, "....the train won't even know what hit it!" Like ummmmmmm... oh really? Hey buddy... last time I checked.. IT WAS A TRAIN! kbye.

32. Mashup Monday pt. 2

I stumbled upon this mashup artist a while ago. He/She/They (I don't really know) are known as The Metamorphosis. Here's a playlist of just a few of their mashups...


Some of these songs are a little older but The Metamorphosis comes out with new ones fairly regularly. Here's their facebook page...
http://www.facebook.com/#!/tmremixes?v=info

their youtube page...

I found this mashup earlier today as well...

31. A series of unfortunate (a.k.a awesome) events...

Recap of my night last night...

-Left my house at 4:45pm
-Drove to the liquor store and purchased a 40 of OE...

-Made friends with the cashier cuz he loved that I was buying a 40. Told me it brought him back to his college days. Learned that back in the day instead of drinking the 40 down to the label and filling it with orange juice to make a brass monkey, him and his buddies used to fill it back up with Guiness and make something of a black & tan. When I try it I'll let you know how it is.
-Drove to the train station, parked my car in the 2hr parking zone, and caught a train going into the city to celebrate Kim's birthday.
-Drank my 40 on the train while being judged by every other passenger. Loved every second of it.
-Met up with Taylor Borda, Kim Jacobson, Cory Petermann, and Christie Fries.
-Kim/Cory/Christie wanted to see the Rockefeller Center tree. Taylor and I said eff that, found a McDonalds, asked for 2 cups, and then split another 40... the classiest of drinking environments for the classiest of drinks.
-Met back up with Kim/Cory/Christie and Kim's other friends.
-Went to one bar...

-Went to a more expensive bar...

-Headed towards Penn Station to get the 1am train home. Ran into Batman...

-Stopped in a deli to eat some shitty food.

-Broke some beer bottles and then fled.

-Stopped at a street vendor to eat some more shitty food
-Arrived at Penn Station. Got repeatedly yelled at by some freaky lady for blocking up the stairs even though it was quite easy for people to walk down past us.

-Decided to ditch the train to go meet up with my friend Doug and continue drinking.
-Went to some weird German bar to meet up with another friend who's birthday it was. Got some german beer. About three sips in my stomach started doing flips.
-Walked to the bathroom and proceeded to throw up all the shitty food I had eaten.
-Got kicked out of the bar for puking.
-Went to anther bar and ran into "Blah Blah Blah" (I think only a select group of people will know who I'm talking about)
-Left that bar and ventured into a strip club. Fun Fact: Strip clubs are fun... until its closing time. Then it becomes kinda pathetic. At that point the strippers are trying to scrounge up any personal dances they can. So literally every two seconds a stripper is coming up to you asking if you want a lap dance and as soon as you hint that the answer might be no they peace out faster than kbye.
-Left the strip club and headed back to Doug's apartment where we watched planet earth until we fell asleep... no homo.
-Woke up, felt like shit, realized I spent at least $75 the night before, cried internally, made the long journey home (praying the entire time that my car hadn't been towed and/or ticketed), got back to my car (it was neither towed or ticketed), thanked god, drove home, and passed out for several hours....


Solid night.

30. I think it's time... for a sick birthday rhyme

Happy Birthday to Jeffrey "The Milk Man" Goodwin.

Jeff's Birthday Poem:
If I were to bump into Jeff at any point today,
There's really only one thing I imagine I'd say.
"Happy Birthday my good sir, you're looking mighty fine,
Oh I see you're wearing a watch, can I bother you for the time?"
He'd look down at his wrist and yell, "OH SHIT, I'M LATE!"
Then he'd hurry off at a very impressive rate.
His schedule is filled with meetings for his many MANY passions,
But you couldn't catch Jeff getting anywhere in a timely fashion.
You're probably thinking of giving him a ring today, it IS his birthday after all,
But I gotta warn you, there's about a 93% chance he won't pick up the call.
It's not that he doesn't like you, he's just off saving humanity
between you and me, I sometimes question his sanity.
But when you're hanging out with Jeff the moments never get dull,
Barefoot races around the house, Bree face-planting in the snow.
The guy loves drinking milk and his Vermont Cheddar Cheese,
If you're lucky, he'll show you where to find a tractor's hidden keys.
Need a photographer? Jeff is definitely your man,
And we all know Lilly is his #1 fan.
It's an understatement to say he's a sleeping-machine,
He's mastered the power-nap like nothing I've ever seen.
Jeff recently packed up his things and headed out to the west coast,
To move in with the guy that he resembles the most.
Him and Mike Hopewell are basically one and the same
trying to tell them apart is like a sick mind-game.
So let's give it up for Jeff and shout hip hip hooray!
Here's to you my man, hope you have an awesome Birthday.

29. Fridays are for Flannel

Grab you're flannel, jam out, and then head TO THE BAHHHS!!

28. Thursdays are for Birthdays

Happy Birthday shout-outs to Michael "The Mustachio" Hopewell and Kim Laina "El Diablo" Jacobson.

The Mustachio was born on this day in 1987 in and around Cincinnati, Ohio. When asked about the delivery Barbara Hopewell commented, "It was extremely easy. Mike simply walked out, gave everyone in the room a head-nod, and then asked if anyone knew the score of the Bengal's game." His first meal consisted of spaghetti... topped with chili... topped with shredded cheese. Some call it CINCINNATI CHILI. Mike earned himself the nickname, 'The Mustachio", after occasionally sporting his signature mustache in the hopes of stumbling upon a Bashio.

Kim Laina was born on this day in 1988 in Colombia, South Mexico. She earned the nickname 'El Diablo' immediately upon birth when she punched her way through her mother's stomach... like a fighting chicken. Kim decided at an early age that she did not want to pursue a career in the cocaine industry... and being as how that was the only possible career choice in her native land, she decided to flee to the States. She knew that it would be risky trying to cross into the US at the US/Mexican border... so El Diablo swam from South Mexico, through the Caribbean, up the Atlantic along the Eastern Coast of the US, and finally came ashore in Connecticut.


Mike and Kim first met in 2007 in Ithaca, NY when their shared interest in stretchable fabrics brought them together at the first annual Spandex Lovers of America Convention.

They've been good friends ever since.

Happy Birthday to you both.

27. I can't tell you who's gonna win, I can only tell you who just might, and right now looks like Eminen'll grab the spotlight

Tonight was the Grammy Nominations concert and I just happened to catch some of it... ok all of it... on my dvr...

Katy Perry was the first to perform...

Do you think she knows she's a terrible singer? Do you think she watches the tape of herself performing when she gets home and goes, 'Daamnnnn I sound good'. Or does everyone around her just lie to her? Yeah, point the mic at the crowd Katy... they can probably sing your songs better than you. I personally wouldn't mind in the least (actually i'd prefer it) if she didn't win a single grammy... KBYE.


 Dave Grohl announced the nominations for one of the categories (i forget which one)

He's the man. End of story.


Train performed 'Hey Soul Sister'...

Seriously looked as though Patrick Monahan (lead singer) was having a heart attack or some kind of seizure while he was singing. I think its time to call it quits Train... KBYE.


Miranda Lambert...

I'm not a fan of country music. I'm less of a fan after listening to her performance. KBYE


Bruno Mars performed 'Just The Way You Are'...

I have a lot of respect for this guy. I think he's a great musician and one of the only pop artists these days who can actually sing. His performance was definitely the best on the night.


Justin Beiber is up for 'Best New Artist'. Anyone have the fever? Me neither... KBYE


Eminem has the most nominations this year with 10. A WISH that he cleans up at the Grammy's. Other top nominees are Bruno Mars with 7 and Jay-Z and Lady Ga-Ga with 6 each. Ke$ha got a whopping 0 nominations... KKKKKBYEEEEE!


Here's a list of most of the nominations for the 2011 Grammy Awards:
