The Office Season Premiere

The Office season premiere is Tomorrow at 9/8 Central! I am so excited for it, and in my anticipation, I decided to write down some of the most memorable and funniest quotes from the show.  Enjoy!!!

 Jim: What kind of bear is best?

 Dwight: That's a ridiculous question

 Jim: False. Black Bear.

 Dwight: That's debatable, there are basically two schools of thought-

 Jim: Fact. Bears eat beats. Bears. Beats. Battle-star Galactica.

 Dwight: Bears do not..What is going on? What are you doing?

Kelly: I never really thought about death until Princess Diana died. That was the saddest funeral ever. That and my sister's.

  Michael: Do I need to be liked? Absolutely not. I like to be liked. I enjoy being liked. I have to be liked. But it's not like this, compulsive, need, to be liked. Like my need to be praised.

Toby: Come on Michael, I really want to go home

Michael: Well you don't even have anybody to go home to Toby so...

Jim: Top five favorite books...go

Angela: The Bible...

Jim: Okay...

Angela: The Purpose Driven Life...

Jim: You still need three more...

Angela:No

Phyllis: The Davinci Code...

Angela: I would take the Davinci Code. So I could burn the Davinci Code

Dwight: yeah, that would keep you warm for like 7 seconds

Micheal (talking to Jim about Dwight): I know a ton of 14 year old girls who could kick his a%$

Jim: you know a ton of 14 year old girls?

Dwight: What belt are they?               

Jim:(to Dwight): Michael, could you beat up Michael

Dwight: of course not, because we're friends

Michael:because i would kick his a%$

Jim: Well Dwight is a purple belt so...
Michael: So! I've beat up black belts before
Jim: How did you know they were black belts?
Michael: They told me...after

Media Overload:The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

The age of technology and social media is ever evolving, and is amazing.  We have social media at our fingertips that allows us to connect, in seconds, to millions of people from all over the world.  We have vast varieties of information and resources available to us with just a click of a button.  With this invigorating new technology we are changing the world, improving the world...and overloading our minds.  Many of us do not go a single moment of the day without having an ipod in our ears, texting, going on facebook, twitter, google, you tube, listening to the radio, watching television...and the list could go on and on...and on.  Technology is amazing. It is crucial. And it is overtaking us.  I leave you with a question:

At what point does technology and social media cross the line from helpful, productive, and enriching, to addiction, danger, and overload?

Modern Family

Yes, that is right, this Wednesday is the season premiere of Modern Family!!! I have been waiting so long for this.  MOdern family is one of the most hilarious shows in television I think.  If you like shows like The Office, Arrested Development, and Community, then you will love this hit TV Show.  You can catch Modern Family this Wednesday September 22, at 9/8central.

   I have attached, also a link showing one of the most hilarious moments on the show:

The End of Oprah

Oprah announced recently that this season of Oprah will be the last.  It's crazy, for me to imagine (even though I don't really watch Oprah, nor do I really care for it all that much) that the show is actually ending.

It seems as though the show has been around for so long, at least even since I was a young kid.  It really is over for the Oprah Show.  She will be missed by many I am sure.  Check out this link for more info:http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/34050109

An Underrated TV Show: Leverage

I just recently discovered a show called Leverage.  I haven't heard all that much hype about it, I just happened to stumble across it. It's in it's third season, and it is very action packed, and suspenseful. It is kind of crime show, only instead of cops, it features a group of criminals who use their skills to help people.  For more info check out this link on TNT: http://www.tnt.tv/series/leverage/
Leverage is also available for download on itunes!

Blue News Concerning the House of Blues West Hollywood

According to ABC 7 news, the House of Blues on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood may soon be coming to an end.  The city council of West Hollywood just recently approved a "plan to build a new hotel on the site".  The House of Blues is one of the most popular, and in fact famous music venues in the area.  It has been the source of entertainment for millions of people for over 20 years.  So one has to ask...why the hell would the city council want to tear it down? The reason...Money. To learn more check out this link: http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/local/los_angeles&id=7657449

Personally...I think it is ridiculous if they decide to take it down.  I'm sick of rich people (or people trying to get rich) getting rid of places and things that ordinary people love...anything for a quick buck, I guess.  Sure, there are plenty of other venues in the area...but House of Blues West Hollywood is one of the best of the best in my opinon! 

Five Awesome Reasons to Check Out A Live Show Featuring Your Favorite Band

So about a week ago, I got the opportunity to see my favorite band, Something Corporate at The Grove, in Anaheim.  It was awesome! I got to meet the band, and get pictures taken with them! I recommend that everyone see their favorite band at least once, here's why:


1. It's a way to show your support for them
       Bands love to see their fans.  Many artists actually like meeting their fans and getting to know the people who are listening to their music, and supporting them.  It is encouraging for them, and it makes them more excited to make more music.

2. You can't spend Friday night inside all the time
      Have you ever spent a friday night at home wondering what to do on a Friday night? Catching a show is something fun to do with friends, on your own, or maybe even on a date. You like the band...after all, they are your favorite!

3. Going to a show is your best chance at meeting the band
      Going to a show is a guarantee that the band will   actually be there...as oppose to simply hoping that someday fate will put you in the same place, at the same time, as the band members you want to meet.  Typically, if you stick around after a show, bands are willing to come out and sign autographs and take pictures with you...let's face it, your the reason why they do what they do!

4. It's a great way of discovering new up-and-coming bands
      Before your favorite band hits the stage, there often times are one or two bands that open for them.  I find that I usually like the bands that open, and I am able to discover their music, before they make it big.  Most of the biggest bands now started out as opening bands! I like finding new bands at shows also because you get a chance to see how they actually sound...without all the editing from the studio.  You can spot whether or not they have the talent.

5. Going to a show is a great way to meet new friends with similar interests
       I follow my two favorite bands, and see them frequently.  As a result, I am able to meet other people who are also big fans of my favorite bands, as they usually attend the same shows that I do! I have made many a friend that way.  Just last week at the show I went to, I met two girls, who met through going to Something Corporate and Jack's Mannequin shows.  One girl was from Chicago, and another from California! They became great friends, and I became friends with them as well.  Shows are a great way to get out there and meet new people that you may not have otherwise met!

I challenge you to get up, and check out a show...there's nothing like it!

Old School Cartoons

I realized when I was babysitting some super crazy awesome kids, that cartoons are simply not what they used to be.  I think, when we were younger, we had the best cartoons.  I remember watching: Rugrats, Doug, Hey Arnold, Johnny Bravo, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Ducktales, Rocko's Modern Life, Chip N' Dale Rescue Rangers...and the list goes on...and on.  Those cartoons were the best of the best I think.  What's on now??? Phineas and Ferb, Fairly Odd Parents, and Jimmy Newtron...not quite as awesome as Doug Funny, and Skeeter if you know what I mean! I can't believe how much tv has changed in the last few years, I thought these shows would last forever in my youth! Well...Thank God for Netflix streaming!
