Dude... What Happened To Kermit?

This is incredibly funny. It's a cover of an Elliot Smith song, and the video is based on the scene in The Royal Tennanbaums that uses the song. If you've seen the movie, you'll crack up.

After doing a little more research, it turns out that there are more "sad Kermit" songs, including a cover of 'Creep' by Radiohead and 'Hurt' by Nine Inch Nails. Awesome.

Religous Extremists Can Be White, Too!

I heard about this a while ago, and I can't believe how calm and collected this guy acted. Scott Roeder was convicted and found guilty of shooting Dr. George Tiller, an abortion specialist. Roeder said he was saving the lives of hundreds of unborn children. Man, what have we come to? Check out the full story here.

Stuff like this really scares me. I can't believe that someone would be brainwashed enough to commit such a vicious act. May this be a reminder to everyone to keep an open mind, not matter what you believe.

Last First Day and Updates...

So it was my last 'first day of school' today. I thought it would be magical... Instead, I worked in the morning and had an hour to get home, eat lunch, change, and get to school. I guess you could say that I'm hitting the ground running on this semester. So far so good, though! My first soc class looks to be pretty fun. Anywho, remember my resolutions? Here's an update:

1. Drink Less Soda: FUCK this one is hard. I'm proud to say that I haven't had a soda in two whole days though.

2. Start Working Out: I will. Just wait.

3. Cut Back On Partying: Now that school has started, my partying will pretty much stop. I have to end on top with this semester.

4. Dick And Fart Jokes: I humped a range that was in the warehouse the other day. Oh yeah.

bleh.

losing more leaves every day.

AltBingo: For The SelfAware AltBro.

Saw this on hipsterrunoff. Fucking hilarious. I've never been to a party where I could have won, but I have been to plenty of concerts that would have black out 3/4s of the thing. If you don't read HipsterRunoff, read it. It's just some 'alternative culturally relevant' blogger named Carles that blogs about hipsters and scenster, just the whole 'alternative/indie' lifestyle that is so popular these days. Some of it is hilarious, some of it is actually quite insightful. Check it. And next party you go to, if you live in a altheavy area, bring the bingo board. I will.

Repo Men Redband Trailer

I stumbled on this while watching random movie trailers. Looks to be a pretty cool action movie starring Jude Law and Forest Whitaker. The RZA makes a cameo too! Check it out!

I Think Ur A Contra

OH man, the new Vampire Weekend album just leaked, and DAMN! It's really good! They haven't changed their sound too much which is a good thing. They've just 'thickened' their sound, if you will. Instead of the bare bones afro-pop jangle they had on their first album, they've layered more effects on their guitars. On the opening track, Horchata, the first thing I thought was "Did they jam with AnCo?". This album sound like VW listened to Merriweather Post Pavilion a lot, but that ISN'T a bad thing. You can hear the influence, but it's not a complete clone (see Interpol 'Antics' & Editors 'The Back Room'). The cover art is also very cool, in the sense that it captures the whole VW 'college prep' / 'indie' vibe with the Helvetica font and chick in a polo. Overall, great album. Only bad thing is that VW is a perfect soundtrack to any summer, and right now it's 8 degrees Celsius outside and I have a fucking cold. It sucks.

New Year, New Plans

So. Here goes a typical list of resolutions, all of which seem possible but by March I'll probably say fuck it:

1. Drink Less Soda-

For realsies. I drink way too much Mountain Dew, and I've cut back on it a lot since high school but it's still a problem. This will be the hardest thing I've ever done, no joke.

2. Start Working Out-

Everyone says this, but I really want to. Not like go to the gym and pump iron, but do stuff at home so I can drum longer and bike up hills and what not. I want to start running too.

3. Cut Back On Partying-

Yeah, I'm sure every college student says this. But as I'm about to graduate, I need my mind and body cleared up. I won't be able to find a place to live or a job in the haze I go through now.

4. Don't Let Dick And Fart Jokes Become Unfunny-

Seriously. I may be graduating and turning 22 this year, but I will always burst out laughing whenever a person adds 'DEEZ NUTZ!' to the end of a sentence. Laughter is the best medicine, people. Also, I won't let my sense of humor become 'politically correct' because that would be gay.
