Auld Lang Syne

Happy New Year!



2010 was a long year. The election was the usual politics in DC. A bunch of empty promises and lies from both sides. The economy was slowly recovering, slipped, slowly recovered. Unemployment pretty much stayed the same. The Cubs didn't win the World Series, we'll get it next year! The Bulls made the playoffs at .500. The Bears, as predicted, finished better than 10-6 (11-5) and won the NFC North as well as the 2nd seed. Dubstep and HipTronik are surging.



Personally, I went through many ups and downs. I still don't freaking know what I want to do after college. The most lucrative options seem appealing, but boring. The most passionate options seem appealing, but for how long? New year, new degree, new career. Maybe I should look into becoming president...?



The 112th group is now in session. My prediction for this year is that nothing will get done and everything that is done will be for political leverage. We're electing a bunch of rich people to debate about nothing. Even debates about debates are going to be prolonged.. Why can't we form more than 2 parties? Split the progressives from the liberals, the Tea Party from the conservatives. Competition breeds the best. Having two parties should give us better presidents than Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Carter, Reagan, Ford, and Nixon.. Obama is weak, Bush Jr. is stupid, Clinton is horny, Bush Sr. is misguided, Carter is stubborn, Reagan is fake, Ford is boring, and Nixon is a crook. Good job America.



The Bears will face the Saints at Soldier Field, beat them and then face the Falcons. If they beat them, they're going to play the Patriots in Dallas. I'm hoping they make a run and don't disappoint like in '06. Hester-mania!



The Bulls are going to limp into the playoffs as the 4th seed and rock the Knicks, but lose to the Magic. Magic vs Heat for the East. The Lakers are slipping up a bit, but I think they're going to pull it together in the playoffs.



The Cubs are going to be mediocre again and finish with a mediocre 80-80, but the future looks bright. (sounds very familiar)



Natalie Portman is back at it again. Black Swan was a great performance. Breaking out of her shell and expanding into different genres. Can't wait for her next movies to come out.

Norwegian Recycling is pretty good at their mashups. Check them out.

For 2011, my New Years resolution is to continue being lazy and smoking. No one ever keeps their New Years resolutions. Gotta love reverse psychology! Is it possible to break the habit this year?

JSung if you read this and wanna rip on me, gimme whatchu got.

Practice Take 7

"You can't let nobody take your heart from you. I didn't and I know I'm always going to work hard and nobody's going to tell me different." - James Johnson, talking about his role in helping the Bulls rally to beat the Pistons.

The Bulls look squeamishly good. Why squeamish? Because the motion offense they have involves them running around in circles and throwing up shots (brick) or having Rose use a pick-and-roll without a bonafide big man making the play selection dangerous. After Boozer comes back, everyone's numbers should increase. EXCITING!



It's quite funny how a Cubs bullpen catcher gets caught with over 8 pounds of weed, the British list alcohol as the most harmful drug, and Alan acts like a ruh-tard. Election Day is coming up and California is voting on Proposition 19 which could or could not lead the way to legalization of marijuana. Personally, I'm against the ratification of any legal marijuana. There is no reason why we should make a drug legal when it makes hundreds of thousands of people lazy and unmotivated. The proposed taxes and revenue California can gain does not outweigh the consequences. There's still a good chance that even if it is legalized, drug dealers will take it to the streets more readily with a likely age limit being placed. Prohibition failed, but that was due to the Roaring society and limited knowledge of the general population. Alcohol is still by far the bigger evil. One wrong cannot make another right. The synergistic capabilities of legal marijuana, alcohol, and tobacco will most likely wreak havoc for the first few months/years it is legal.



The Lions beat the Redskins. Wait what? Didn't they Skins beat the Bears last week? Of course the Skins would lose to a crappy team. They play up (or down) to their competition, as do the Bears. How aggravating is it that the Lions' running backs Kevin Smith and Jahvid Best each had 12 carries for about 50 yards and Stafford had 4 touchdowns and 1 interception? Very. I wish the Bears could utilize the running game with that shitty offensive line. OH YEAH! Forte and Taylor have no gaps to shoot through because of them. Can't blame Martz for going with mostly passing plays. But why plays that involve 7 step drops and having Cutler getting owned. Those cheeseheads caught up with our bye week, but hopefully Martz will realize the 3-/5-step drops with quick passes will be more effective and that Greg Olsen has pretty good hands for a tight-end/receiver.



Halloween is a good holiday. Not because of the boatloads of free candy given out to little children, or the skimpy outfits girls tend to wear, but because the good spirits people tend to be in. Even though it's original holiday may not have been all too great, people gather together to enjoy costumes. The only thing that I do not like about this year's Halloween is how some guys mistreat girls and that no one knows who the hell Pillsbury dough boy is! (A fat chef to the FOBs and a dough boy to the natives. Sheesh.)



The beginning of November is one to remember.
It may not be like December or even September.
October ended with a boo by who knows who.
Still, there's a lot to look forward to.
There's Thanksgiving break
with much sleep to take.
But best of all, everyone's gonna be burpy-
right after they eat their turkey!



Why did I write that? So bored! Lab report here I come!

Post-Production

I've been meaning to update this right after my birthday, but I encountered days of hangovers and days of sickness. Finally after 6 days, I've recovered at last!



It's pretty much October with election season in full swing. I just hope people vote based on important issues. The past 20 years, since the Reagan administration, we've encountered many faux-issues like gun control, abortion, and stem cell research. To add in other issues like medical marijuana and gay rights, it's just going back and forth with nothing really ever getting done. For once, can we focus on issues that really matter? Most Americans believe we're still in a recession, even though the recession was claimed to be over last year. What's with this country?!



To end the discussion, let's look back on what the original Founders thought. These white slave owners intended to free the country from the "tyranny" of King George III. All they wanted to do was drink some tea!



I don't think most tea party people even know what or who they're supporting, but they should really look into it.



In other news, the Bears are 3-0 to start the 2010 season. Our terrible offensive linemen are holding up just long enough so Forte can cut through holes and Cutler can throw quick passes. But after watching the Packers game, I was impressed with the improvement they made after week 1 with our mighty first round pick Chris Williams. Oh wait, I guess not. We have a good chance to go 9-7, even 10-6 is possible. But let's wait and see.



The Cubs keep on winning! Mike Quade isn't a bad choice at all. I hope it comes down to him and Sandberg for manager next year. Inching closer to that World Series. Now, about those players...



D-Rose! This year is going to be exciting. Can't wait.

The song below "You Always Make Me Smile" by Kyle Andrews is pretty catchy. I saw it on a Holiday Inn commercial. It reminds me of something from somewhere but can't remember. Oh well, enjoy!



Being surrounded by cornfields for years finally got to me. I want to travel and explore! No more cornfields! No more cornfields!











The future awaits!

Take 5

So Inception is definitely the best movie of this summer. I watched it for the second time and I enjoyed the little details that I forgot. The fight scenes were cooler. The foreshadowing was written all over it. It was amusing to watch The Chemist in the movie. I'll give you a hint - 7/11 funny. Now the best part was that I was spacing out at the end, already realizing what was about to happen and what already had happened in the movie. I continued to space out and then I came to my own realization. There was a time when I thought I really knew something. An idea that was solidified as fact. Religions are all based on leaps of faith. And at the end of our lives, someone will be there to say, "and we'll be together." That idea which makes you snap out of reality when you realize you're not actually at the end of your life, but only in the present reading this blog. Funny, huh? So the reality of it is that I thought was once between the godfather and the godson. With all the advising that took place, the godson realized he was not advised, but controlled. Controlled into pushing away the one thing he cherished the most - love. Fischer then believes what he should do next. And then ending plays out.

On the drive home, it was freaky as hell driving down a road surrounded by forests, from which the town was named (Elk Grove). It was comforting to know that there could be elk (or deer) were roaming the streets. By the end of the road, I become immersed under the artificial light coming from the hunchback poles and I realize it's safe. Haha, corny. I can't believe that was my attempt at a faux-Inception experience. Well, back to reality. It was crazy thinking that at any given moment, you could realize that everything was once a dream. Lifting your head up. Seeing the professor continue with his mundane lecture. Only to realize you were dreaming within multiple realities. Haha, I did it again. Back to reality.

There's a good ass song out by Wiz Khalifa (Hey Girl) and it keeps playing in my head. So chill.



The Cubs traded Theriot and Lilly? Damn it. The Bears season can't come any sooner. I can't wait to see that new offense and replenished defense. The Bulls season looks to start off great. They're mentioned on marquee days for the NBA. Seems like there's gonna be more hype on the young team. Hopefully, they don't crash and burn (especially if they sign TMac).

What skips in this logical gap? Reaganomics was supposed to give the rich tax cuts so they can spend more money to create jobs. Now, under this cycle's effect of the conservative economic policy of the government has come full circle. Especially with the profits increasing and not a lot to show for it, people start to become enlightened by a liberal policy that the rich paying the government to pay for the poor's plight. The working class doesn't suffer after receiving aid from the government. So the tax cuts come to haunt the constituents. The rich get a needless break during a recession, while the rest are still in need. Now when jobs are demanded, the rich do not have any jobs to offer even after receiving large tax cuts. Essentially they have no money to invest in the common people. Instead, they hold on to it and choose a globalized policy which saves money and increases profit. Where is the irony?

Read This

Meh, I'm being an insomniac. Didn't need to rant, but getting to know the "rich's plight" has suddenly become tiresome. That progressive radio talk is quite entertaining. They do the exact same things they criticize about the conservatives. I wonder why they didn't look like the same before? Boring.


I wish I knew what to say...

Taco Bell came out with tacos with onion and cilantro!?! I forget what they're called, but it seems more authentic. Can't wait to try!

If no one's heard this song yet, they should really get out more often.
