Just this week I've (re)watched both Step Up and Step Up 2.
(Side note: I know that they're not quality movies, but they are some serious guilty pleasures of mine and the entertainment value is almost unparalleled. The dancing, especially in the latter, is fantastic. If you haven't seen either and you're not opposed to an ordinary plot, sub-par acting, and amazing dance sequences, check it out.)
Wow. Channing Tatum is perfection. And Rob Hoffman isn't so bad himself. It's actually quite depressing because my chances of marrying a guy half as sexy (that has thug appeal but isn't a thug who can also dance) as either of them are very slim... What a downer. At least I own both of these DVDs so I can watch them over and over again.
Here is a gratuitous photo of Rob & Channing. Enjoy!
I believe that computer lingo and text messaging are slowly lowering younger generations' IQ levels as well as their ability to use proper grammar and correct spelling. Ugh. Don't get me wrong, I like to use my fair amount of omfg, rofl, lmao and brbs, but only while speaking. There's something hilarious about speaking in acronyms, but it's all in good fun and I'm funny, so it works. It doesn't work so much on the computer or through text bc when u write like this it looks like u cant talk on a nrml level with respectable ppl. Gosh, I'm fuming here and that wasn't even an entire sentence worth of garbage. But I had to prove my point. It looks stupid, thus making you look equally dumb.
I saw an über-absurd, absolutely ridiculous article before in the Facebook group "Yes: I will judge you based on your spelling, grammar, and punctuation" –written by an effing (once again, acceptable because I'm awesome) professor– regarding why the oft-misspelled words should be accepted in the forms that are incorrect. Seriously, it's depressing, and if you'd like to be infuriated as much as I was, please click here to check it out.
I'm convinced that if we got to use more than 180 characters, people would submit essays through text messaging. Barfaroni.
Also, check out this video because it's awesome and it's about spelling. Until next time...

Of all the Entourage episodes I've seen (which, in fact, would be all of them), this was definitely one of the funniest and really brought the LOLz. A few in particular would be when:
• Ari told Lloyd he would "cement his asshole shut" if he didn't watch his dog while Mrs. Ari was out of town for the night and Ari was tripping in Joshua Tree with the rest of the Entourage.
• While on his 'trip,' E wasn't speaking, so Drama takes it upon himself to get him to start talking by giving him a titty-twister.
&
• Mrs. Ari showed up home early to Lloyd, his boyfriend, Tom and many other gay, naked men swimming in their pool.
Haha, I am laughing (albeit quietly, since I'm at work and don't want to get stares) just thinking about these parts right now. I'm also thinking about watching it again as soon as I get home from work. Thank you, HBO on Demand and also to Doug Ellin for a 29-minute episode. It was heaven.
As an amateur blogger, it's pretty much protocol to have some professionals whose work I idolize and admire. At this given point in time, I have a top three. Sure they might be the only three bloggers whose posts I read regularly, but whatever. They rule. Sinceriously. So here they are, in particular order:
1) Perez Hilton
The gossip gangSTAR who raised the blogosphere bar. All of his Perezcious readers love and respect him and bloggers around the world should feel the same if they don't already. I have not missed an entry of his in over 16 months, entries which now serve as daily bedtime stories. If you've never seen his work, it's mastery. I'm not even joking. He's ruthless, relentless, and works 18-hour days. And he's even branched out into creating his own fashion line, television shows and now hosts his own radio show. A homolicious renaissance diva. Loves it.
2) Chris & Jess
These two are really outstanding in their craft, blogging for the Daily Intel at NY Magazine. Every week these two provide a hilarious, insightful recap for Gossip Girl, the show they have coined "The Best. Show. Ever." Their Reality Index (Realer Than a Socialite With a Hebetudinous Nickname Like “Poppy” vs. More Transparent Than Dan’s Bravado) brings in thousands of readers weekly who can now participate in the weekly total. Even if you haven't seen the show and have zero desire to (which, if you fall into either of these categories, you officially suck at life because this is honestly one of the Best. Shows. Ever.), check out one of their recaps. You don't have to even understand what's going on because their writing is that hysterical. And intelligent, too.
3) Lil Wayne
A rapper blogging for ESPN. And he has their logo tattooed on his arm. Enough said.
I'm heading to my good ol' alma mater today after work and, contrary to most, I actually enjoy the beautiful 171 mile trek up I-75 to Paradise City. I would guestimate that about two dozen of my good friends from BG will be making the trip back for Homecoming, and I'm expecting nothing less than the best time ever. No, but in all seriousness, it should be awesome.
I've been feeling super nostalgic about Bowling Green and making my return, so I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone, every thing, and eating all of the delicious foods that town has to offer (Easystreet & Corner Grill especially). It's a sad story to not be a student at BGSU anymore, and I've actually dabbled with the idea of going to grad school to simply live the dream a little bit longer, but being in as deep of debt as I am, that's just not feasible.
I already know a few things have changed (no more Brewster's, my former favorite BG bar) aside from the fact that I don't have many friends that still attend and/or live in BG (side note: you know you're old when you have to stay at the Best Western when you go back for homecoming), but I'm looking forward to seeing what my descendents are doing to upkeep the awesomeness of BG.
So here's to BG reunions, eleven bars in two blocks, and $2.75 captains and diet. I can't fucking wait.
Cheers
