Television Tango: Big Brother 10

So that new season of Big Brother started a few weeks ago and so far it has not disappointed. There are some pretty good characters going and some great backstabbing. I am still not sure who I like that most but I will keep everyone updated when I figure it out. The one thing I do know is that I hate the girl above. I am pretty sure she can't add.

Tonight is the Power of Veto (POV) competition and I hope that no one wins it so that the two nominees stay on the block.

The real question is.....when are they going to actually give out $2million to the winner because right now the money is ridiculous. I think it is only $250,000. Come on, they make that from one ad campaign because there are no other new shows on during the summer.

Petting It Out: New Kitten in a Month

Chelsey and I will be getting a new edition to the family in a month. It is a new calico kitten that is kind of ugly but so cute at the same time.

The picture above is the two cats that we were deciding between but we decided on the one on the left. The kitten's name will be Bandita or Bandit for short.

I can't wait to get it. I have never had a cat before but pretty sure it will be alright.

Songs for the Soul: Bob Marley

I have been listening to my Bob Marley CD, thats right I said CD, all week now and I almost forgot how good of an artist he was. Not only are all his songs catchy but they are speak to the hardships, corruption and poverty experienced from his people.

When I visited Kingston, Jamaica a fwe years ago to help out in an elementary school it was an amazing experience. His songs always bring me back to that time and I hope to be able to go back sometime.

I have included one of his songs from You Tube to get you pumped up to listening to the rest of his albums.

As they say in Jamaica......Irie Man.

Sporting Goods: Blue Jays on a Streak

Just finished watching the Blue Jays finish up another win agains t the Seattle Mariners. They are now on a 5 game winning steak and have one of the best records in baseball for the month of July. They have finally had some key hitting from the young guys and great pitching from the new players in the rotation.

In a previous post I said that I hope Cito Gaston will be able to turn the team around and he is slowly but surely making it happen.

They are now 8 games back (roughly) from the top and even if they dont make it to the playoffs I really hope that they make a good run for the rest of the seaon. There is nothing worse then playing a terrible season and then having to ponder over it for the next few months.

Please keep playing well........

PS. By the way, I just want to point out that my boy Alexi Rios hit two home runs in this ball game.

Wacky Websites: My Mini City

Not sure why I am so obsessed with this website but for some reason it is crazy addictive. The site is ultimatly a Sim City and you ping your city which results in more population, industry etc. etc....The name of the city I built is called Sheep Man Land and it is pretty nice. It is slowly rising in the Canada rankings as the largest city.

Please check it out daily because you can only add something once every day.

Here is the link to add more population: http://sheep-manland.myminicity.com/

Special News: Engagement

This is a special news annocement that Chelsey and I have officially been engaged and will be planning a wedding sometime in the future. Both of us are very excited to start our lives together and can't wait to see what the future holds for us.

Film Real Trailer: Batman.....The Dark Knight

I am getting really excited to see this movie. I am not sure if it is getting too hyped up because of the death of Heath Ledger but if you have seen the trailer they have made it look amazing. I have a feeling I will be truly scared during the entire movie because of how well the Joker is being played.

By the way, I have not even seen the last 3 Batman movies which should show you how much I am looking forward to seeing this paticular one.

So the real question is.....Who wants to go and see the movie with me???Probably not this weekend though because it will be crazy busy for the opening.

Tech News: LG 42" Plasma Television

Saturday morning was a great day where my girlfriend and I just bought our first big screen TV. We just purchased an LG 42" Plasms HDTV and I am really excited to set it up in our place. We also got a special package for the HD channels so I am looking forward to watching the Blue Jay's win the BIG SHOW!!!

Funny News: Charlie Bit My Finger!!

So I was shown this a while ago and it is pretty good. Just another one of those YouTube videos that have made it famous because of hilarious home videos.

CHARLIE BIT MY FINGER!!! You will get it as soon as you watch the video.

Songs for the Soul: Tegan and Sara - Walking with a Ghost

So I have been really into this song for a while and it is still not getting old. I figured I should probably post this video to introduce you to Tegan and Sara if you have never heard of them.

Try downlaoding some of their other stuff. They have a ton of songs and a ton of records that they have produced.

Tech News: Wii Fit

My girlfriend and I have been playing on the Wii Fit for over a month now since it just came out and I have to say that it is much better than you think. These people above are about as happy as you get when you start playing. There are so many different games to play on it and the sensor board is really well made. I have not seen any glitches yet with the sensors or the software.

I really recommend going out and trying to find one because they are a great way to hang out with friends and family.

PS. There is even a game for snowboarding and ski jumping which are my favourites.

Film Real Review: War Games

I watched this movie on Tuesday morning on the AMC movie network and I was pleasantly surprised. I am not sure if it was because there was nothing else on or I have a weird liking for Matthew Broderick's acting (only when he was younger for some reason). The premise was really quite realistic even though it was about 20 years earlier.

Anyways, if you feel like watching a classic movie with some pretty good acting, try to pick it up on basic television.
