MTV Movie Awards

Ok, so I've decided to do a running post during the MTV Movie Awards.  If you haven't watched it yet, then stop reading right now, because I'm about to talk about everything during show...

The opening skit was pretty funny, not hilarious, like I was hoping for, just pretty funny.  

So best female breakthrough performance went to Ashley Tisdale from High School Musical 3...

Best fight went to Robert Pattinson from Twilight...

Eminem KILLED it!!  He's the best, what else can you say?

I think at this point, Andy Samberg needs to relax a little bit and let the jokes come to him.  I think he's trying too hard to be funny, but he is a definite improvement from last year's host.  I forget his name, but he's that British guy who was in the movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

The song with Andy Samberg and Will Ferrell was funny.

Jonah Hill is hilarious...

Breakthrough Performance for a male went to Robert Pattinson, which is such a terrible pick.  I completely disagree!!!  Really people, it's bad enough that he won best fight, so please stop voting for that pitiful performance, as well as that pitiful movie!

I can't tell if what just happened was actually supposed to happen....and it kind of looks like Eminem is actually pissed off.  I'm confused.

Zach Effron won Best Male Performance from the movie High School Musical 3...

haha the guy who "won" a tech award is funny, not to mention he is humping the Popcorn Award.

Best kiss goes to....wow, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart from Twilight...blah blah blah, who cares! Even though there thank you was funny...

Jim Carrey ladies and gentleman!!  AH, love the digital shorts!!  I actually love the slowed down "remixes" of Andy's Digital Shorts on SNL!

The WTF award goes to...haha nice rhymes, even though I hate that "Droppin 35" song,  Amy Poehler wins...good choice.

I can't wait for Kings of Leon...

Best song from a movie goes to...WE LOVE LIL WAYNE...the award goes to Miley Cyrus from her stupid movie...Wow, she is soooo not funny at all!

I did enjoy the interruption of the Twilight Sneak Peek, less Twilight means better Show.

Well it looks like I'm still not going to watch Twilight...

Congrats to Ben Stiller, you deserve it man.  The generation award, what a good person to give it to.  His introduction was funny.

HAHA love the Doubt video game!!

I liked the Star Trek skit too...

Kristen Stewart from Twilight won Best Female Performance...I actually typed as soon as they said her name because it's obvious that the little 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 year olds are obsessed with that movie which put a huge damper on the awards show, not to mention she dropped her award...pitiful.

Gotta love Kings of Leon!  They are soooo good.  The best of the performance was that the drummer picked up a beer towards the end...classic.

I love Will Ferrell and Danny McBride (aka Kenny Powers).  HA there intro was funny.  Best Comedic Performance goes to Jim Carrey.  I can understand why, but I think James Franco's performance blows his out of the water.  His acceptance speech was funny.  Good one Jim.

Heath Ledger won this year's best Villain.  Good for him, he deserved it.  RIP.

BEST MOVIE GOES TO TWILIGHT, which is completely ludacris.  I am seriously upset.  This is a joke!  Get a new system MTV because of all those movies that were nominated, Twilight most likely came in last!! Yeah even behind High School Musical 3.  AHHHHHH TERRIBLE!!!

But I do think it's funny that they made an Indiana Jones video game.

OK, now I'm mad and I'm leaving...if you didn't like the post, don't fret more are to come...

Midnight

OK, I got a good story for you.  Well, I can't say good, because it is probably somewhere in between decent and good.  Which apparently makes it dood (not to be pronounced like dude, it rhymes with good).  So back to my dood story, earlier this week, I decided to start buckling down on my school work and really start to focus.  Naturally, I chose to eliminate all the distractions that have been surrounding me for quite some time.  On my Mac, I have all the web pages that I visit daily in what us "Macions" (pronounced Mac-e-ons) call the "Bookmarks Bar."  So I took out all those websites.  Those websites included, centsports.com, facebook, my own blog, espn.com, and my hometown newspaper's website.  In addition, I unplugged my PlayStation 2, and yes I am aware that I am rockin' it old school, and quite frankly I will still be rockin' it old school until Sony decides to quit making new games for the PlayStation 2.  In which case I will be forced to move on to bigger and better things (and more expensive as well).  I say "forced" because it's really not that fun to play old games all the time.  You gamers out there can relate, and I appreciate it.  Ahh, sorry, now back to my dood story.  Since I took those things I call 'distractions' out of my bar, I didn't go to my pages that much.  The thing is, with Facebook, if I don't have easy access by being just one click away, then I won't go to it.  Seriously, I think I have a problem.  I say this because I refuse to type in websites.  I only go to websites if I can just click on them.  So anyway, I thought that meant I wouldn't be on Facebook anymore for my remaining 4 weeks at the time, but now it's down to three!!!!!  So I got bored, I still have some websites on my bar that I never go to:  YouTube, Apple, Yahoo!, Google Maps, Wikipedia, etc.  I have two drop down bookmarks on my bar, one is called news, and the popular.  I never click on news or popular, mainly because with all my other previously bookmarked pages the drop down bookmarks got pushed out of the bar.  So like I said, I got bored and started to venture and click on those drop down bookmarks, that I will now call tabs, because writing bookmarks has just gotten old.  So when I clicked on the news tab, guess what came up?  ERRR, wrong.  I know you are thinking Facebook.  And this is when I make you feel stupid.  I said the news tab, why in the world would Facebook be under the news tab.  Come one Gibson.  I got you didn't I?  Speaking of Gibson, I think I told you about this blog a couple months ago when I started and I am a bit hurt because today is the first time you have read it...you should be ashamed of yourself.  Alright, now that I have mentioned Gibson, like I said I would, I would like to move on.  So, ESPN was on the news tab.  And I still continue to visit that site daily.  When I clicked on the popular tab, guess what came up?  No, still not facebook people.  EBay...  Just to let you know, none of this really has anything to do with my story.  To finish my story though, as I told you I deleted my pages, including my blog page, I had nothing to do.  Tonight I got a bright idea to write a new post, and like I said earlier, I don't type in websites.  But, I was forced in this situation to do so.  I tried typing the website, and the funny part is I forgot what it was.  I literally went to five different pages having to do with random "Club Dynasty" things, like night clubs or something.  Because I couldn't remember MY OWN WEB PAGE, I had to go to Facebook.  I lied to you a little bit ago when I said that Facebook wasn't under the popular tab, because it really is.  Which is why I went to Facebook to find my web page, which means that I still go to Facebook daily.  Meaning, all these "distractions" I tried to eliminate, are haunting me, it's a curse.  And that is my dood  story, see it's in between decent and good, a little long and I apologize for that, but something tells me that I don't care and you'll get over it.

I also said earlier that I unplugged my PS2, which I did, for 2 days.  Actually, I just got done playing it.  I know someone out there is thinking "Hmm, I wish he would tell us what game he was playing because I really want to know."  Well today is your lucky day, because that is EXACTLY what I'm about to do.  I have been playing wrestling games.  I know what you're thinking.  You are thinking, "Wrestling? Come on, you can do better than that, no you can WAY better than that."  And this is when I tell you to watch your mouth.  I tell you this only because, well, because I just don't want to hear it!  Anyway, it's old school wrestling.  Back when Goldberg, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Ric Flair, Bret "The Hitman" Hart, Kevin Nash, and Big Papa Pump Scott Steiner were still wrestling.  I know I said old games aren't fun to play, but this game is colossal.  I mean come on, you put all those names in the ring, and you got yourself a damn good Royal Rumble.  Which by the way, I am in a season with Goldberg, and the Rumble is coming up in 3 weeks.  I'm hoping to get the last position to enter because I'm not sure if I can last through 30 guys.  Right now Super Star points with Goldberg is maxed out at exactly 100!  When I started the season, his Super Star points totaled 80.  I know that's only 20 points difference, but sometimes, if you lose you will lose anywhere from 1-4 points, and if you win, depending on who you play, you can anywhere from 0-3 points.  So, it's taken a solid 8 hours of game play to max out his Super Star points.  Of course, when I say 8 hours, I don't mean 8 hrs in one day, I do mean 8 hrs in 2 days though.  But yeah, if you get a chance, play SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain (It's the one with Brock Lesner on the front cover).

I decided in this past week that when I write papers, not blogs, I write best after midnight.  I have theory about it too.  My theory is... when I write after the hour of midnight, I am so tired, that I can't focus on anything but writing.  I know you are thinking I'm crazy right now, but it's the truth.  I get so tired I only focus on one thing.  And, to top it off, when I turn off the TV, and write in silence, it's game over.  In fact, I would go as far as guaranteeing that I will get an 'A' on my research paper on Amy Hempel in my english class.  Bold statement I know, but I'm telling you.  After midnight, when I write, I'm lights out!

I know I already talked about her, but I'm serious, Amy Hempel is an amazing writer.  She doesn't write novels.  All her stories are short stories, except for her two novella's but that is a different story, literally.  Sisters, take notes please, for Christmas I am asking for one of the following:  Reasons to Live by Amy Hempel, The Collected Stories of Amy Hempel by Amy Hempel, or At the Gates of the Animal Kingdom by Amy Hempel.  If you know me, you know that I don't read, but I could read Amy Hempel everyday for the rest of my life!

HA, the Lakers lost! YES!!

Oh my, look at the time, just past midnight.  Looks like I gotta get to writing my research paper!  

The quote for this post is as follows,

"Sometimes I have to lie a little to tell the truth."

Only at OU

Hmm... it's been awhile.  Oh wow, I can't believe what I just remembered.  Remember that song by Staind some time ago, called "It's Been Awhile."  Yeah I went there.  And I liked it too.  It's been awhile since I could hold my head up high.  And it's been awhile since I first saw you.  It's been awhile since I could stand on my own two feet again.  Ok Ok hopefully you remember now, because if you don't, then I would STRONGLY encourage you to look it up on that wonderful thing called Youtube!!  

Oh the craziness that is going on in my life.  Last weekend was Palmerfest here at Ohio University and it was extremely CRAZY!  I have never been apart of something as wild as that day.  It was great, refreshing in a way.  I had 5 (kind of 6) friends that came to visit me for the all day party. Gibson, Evan, Declan, Kendrick, and Ciesa all came to visit and I loved almost every second of it. Yes, I realize that I just called 3 of them by their last names and 2 of them by their first, but if you knew anything about me, you would completely understand why I do that.  The funny thing is that I know I have siblings out there who are reading this and frantically trying to figure out why in the world I do this.  Have you figured out the answer yet, yes I'm talking to you Rachel and Kelly???  Ahh, I'm actually not going to tell you just yet because I think it's kind of funny.  So, the reason why I said kind of 6 friends came to visit is because Ciesa brought his girlfriend and she is pretty cool, therefore she should be honored to be my friend.  I know sounds cocky, and well, it is, so get over it.

Oh my, what to talk about next...wellll, I am in the process of watching Grey's Anatomy.  Sad, I know, but you will get over it.  

I am taking a class and attempting to be an RA.  By the way, which most likely isn't going to happen due to the fact that there are 280 people that are available for the 73 positions, soooo I guess the chances are slim.  But, we'll see what happens.  I find out on Wed. of next week so I will keep you posted.  Ok, so in this class, we talked about diversity today.  I really got to thinking and I want to propose something.  I think that you should all put yourself in a position that isn't you.  If you like sports go see a play or the orchestra.  If you like the orchestra or plays, go see a sporting event.  I think that it's interesting.  Imagine being a minority, for example, being the only black person in an office at work.  Just think about the things that have to run through their minds.  Thoughts of loneliness along with others.  But, try to put yourself in their shoes.  Literally, put yourself in their position, a position to where you are the minority.  This might be ignorant of me to say, but I think that if everyone understands what it feels like to be put in a position like that, then a lot of problems could be solved.  I don't know, it's just a thought...

On a brighter note, it's amazing how awesome the Reds are this year.  They just finished off a complete shilacking of the Arizona Diamondbacks.  Not exactly sure if shilacking is a word, but if it isn't, than it should be.  

Just saw a movie trailer for Angels and Demons, and I can't even begin to explain how excited I am for that movie, so I won't...

Hmm... Calculus sucks, just an fyi.

I've got a question for you, would you every step in front of a moving bus for a complete stranger?  Would you ever do that?  Maybe you try and save the person and in the process, you get hit, would you do it?  Just think about it.

I'm doing a research paper on Amy Hempel right now.  Right now I'm still in the "research" stage.  Basically the paper is due in two weeks and I haven't even started, and I love it.  But, Amy Hempel is probably my favorite author of all time.  I think mainly because she doesn't write novels.  And no, she isn't a sports writer either.  She writes a lot of short stories and puts them all together which makes a book.  It's just cool, and a lot of times they books are just about random crazy things, which is exactly what my blog is about.

I bet you thought that I forgot about what I said earlier, well I didn't.  So, if you know anything about me, you understand why I call some people by their first names and some by the last.  Well, here it goes, the reason is because they just sound better.  Gibson sounds better than Brandon.  Both are two syllables, but, the last name just sounds better.  Declan sounds better than Robillard.  Not to mention that his first is two syllables and his last is 3.  Kendrick is way better than plain old John or Johnathon.  And again you have the syllable thing.  Yes, I could call him John, but that is boring and there isn't any fun in the name John.  With Ciesa it's either Ciesa or Michael, and I'm sorry but Ciesa sounds better than Michael.  Because both are two syllables, the better name is said.  Now, Evan is the odd-ball.  His last name is one syllable, and his first name is two, but his last name is Wray.  Look, Evan and Wray go well together, but I can't call him Wray because in a conversation, if I said "Hey Wray" then it sounds like I am saying "Hey Ray" as in the name Ray.  And I just can't bring myself to doing that just yet.  So, that has nothing to do with anything, and to top it off, you just wasted 30-40 seconds of your day reading this paragraph.

I have 4 weeks of school left and I can't wait.  So the plan is to knock out 3 more blogs before the end of the school-year.  And, I'm having a bit of an issue finding more "top 5's" so I need things to have a top 5 about, which means I'm looking to my 4 readers out there to give me ideas.  

That being said, I clearly don't have a top 5 for this week, so I will leave you with a quote.
