one of those guys you just know you dont like

the two main reasons that i never liked the band Creed was because of their music and because of their lead singer. luckily i hadn't heard anything about either in a long time until i read this.

baby daddy

i commented a long time ago about tom b becoming single... and then not long after it was revealed that his ex was pregnant. he since started dating gisele, and today i read this. how crazy would that be?

oh cua...

for those who haven't heard already there is much noise surrounding american idol contestant antonella barba. it seems there are some pictures of her going around on the internet, including one in the bathroom on the toilet and one on vacation with her friends. since i know you are going to search around for them anyways, here they are;
honestly i dont think there are a big deal. my reaction to the first one is why does she need so much toilet paper? i feel like that picture could very well have been taken at a party at the cloisters. there were probably a bunch of college students hanging out and someone thought it would be funny to bust in and snap a picture. its not the worst thing that has happened at a cua party [side note, i am pretty sure i knew i saved those pictures for a reason, i couldnt find them anywhere with a quick google search...] and i am over the second picture. if anything, i feel bad for the other people in the picture, in particular anyone who might find the picture less than flattering.

i could see why in the american idol scene these photos are less than desirable, but they are not nearly as bad as some other things that contestants have done...

she's not that innocent

as i am sure you know by now, brittney spears went crazy and chopped off all of her hair. in honor of the pop princess, this afternoon kyle and i decided to do the same. here is what the sink looked like afterwards...
and here is how i look now

Come on ride the D-Train

I have always liked Dontrelle Willis, and wasn't excited to read about his recent arrest. Drunk driving is certainly nothing to joke about, but I did think his story was interesting. He was driving his Bentley at 4:00 am near some nightclubs, when he stopped his car and got out. Then he took a leak in the road.

Apparently the police officer noticed signs of intoxication, and D-Train failed a field sobriety test. I am pretty sure anytime you are peeing in the road at 4 in the morning, its pretty safe to say you have been drinking.

I just keep seeing a mental movie of a guy driving, stopping for no apparent reason, and then getting out of his car and going to the bathroom in the road. Who does that?

Back on the market

I read today that my favorite athlete is single again... Perhaps this is the reason the Pats played so badly against Miami last week. Hopefully this will allow him to focus for the playoffs and lead the team to another superbowl. Maybe I should have picked him on my fantasy tabloid team!

Tabloid Fantasy

I have created a tabloid fantasy league for anyone interested. To join, go to TABFL.com and register. You will need to use 2IJPu392041 as the entry code for the group number to join in the league that I created. Good luck!

Jewel Live

I think in the blogworld it is common to talk about music and to review stuff, and since I havent done much of either, I thought I would give it a shot.

I saw Jewel on Saturday night at the Hippodrome in Baltimore and I thought it was one of the best performances I have seen. It reminded me very much of the old MTV Unplugged concerts because on stage was only Jewel and a guitar. She casually asked the crowd for song requests, and told a bunch of funny stories that I thought really helped me get a feeling for the type of person that she is. Perhaps I enjoyed the concert so much because I like Jewel. I have all of her albums and even though I dont talk about it much, I really enjoy all of her music. I think I like that her lyrics are orignal and meaningful, but not always too serious. Oh, and she is hot and can sing quite well. I felt the other night at the concert many of her songs were more like a story than a song. I also appreciated that the performance was different than the music on her albums. One thing that bothers me at concerts is when singers perform songs exactly as I hear them on the radio. I go to a concert to be entertained, and sitting and watching a boring person sing a song I have heard many times does not entertain me. I was very entertained, in particular when she was yodelling as I have never heard.

So if you enjoy relaxing in a nice theatre listening to hot female vocalists with unique voices sing and tell stories, than I would recommend attending a Jewel concert.


Bonus thoughts:
The concert was especially awesome because I attended it with my brother-in-law. There were not that many guys at the concert, and of the men who were there most of them were with their wives/girlfriends. And then a small percentage of guys were there, perhaps on a date, with another man. I honestly think we were the only 2 straight men at the concert together.

Deal or no deal

I was just watching Deal or No Deal and something out of the ordinary happened. There was a girl on the show who [i think] was obsessed with the color lime green. She also was pretty young, and based on her comments I assumed she was in college. She was being sort of funny because she was mocking Howie and saying all of the shows catch phrases. Anyways, she was doing ok and there were about 6 or so cases left to open. There was only one large amount remaining as she had just eliminated the second largest amount. They presented her with an enormous lime green lime on stage and told her that was her newest offer from the bank. At that point they rolled out a jazzed up Cadillac Escalade. It looked like something that Xzibit would create on Pimp My Ride. There were LCD screens all over, along with a big time stereo and some big spinning rims. [Side note, I think my favorite part of the episode was when Howie bent down and pointed out the 24" spinners.]

Anyways, they said the value of the car was $85K. There was 1 case with a big amount and all other cases contained small amounts. I was thinking that this is the type of situation where I would not take a deal. She needs to open only 1 case and over 80% of the time her offer will go up. The other thing that I was thinking is that I would much prefer to have the cash, over a brand new car with many costly upgrades. I think that an ugly overpriced car is not the best way to spend 85 grand. I can understand the appeal, since it is the type of car that you would never buy. Even if she won enough money on the show to buy such a vehicle, it seems unlikely that she would get this car. So she must have just wanted to take the car while she had the chance, since she took the deal.

Other thoughts:

The next guy on DOND brought his mailman as one of his friends. If you could go on TV and bring 3 people, would you bring your mailman? Even if he is your best friend, wouldnt you introduce him as that instead of the mailman? It makes him look like he doesnt have many friends... Also, if I see one more "save the cheerleader, save the world" preview or David Blaine Target commercial... How as Duke only -230 vs. Air Force tonight? That money line seems incorrect. I guess AF is strong this year, it just seemed bad to me, so I bet on Duke. They are up 10 with 3 minutes left so we will see... Morgan told me she wouldnt want to go on DOND because she wouldnt want to deal with losing money. She isnt excited about winning not the biggest amount, I mean she would be frustrated to win an amount and then find out she could have possibly won more... The next guy, the friend of the mailman, is doing pretty well so far and is on the way to getting a nice offer from the banker... The Bachelor is on tonight but I believe its the episode where the women all get together and confront one another...
