I luvs me some Kosher


Ok so this is Friday, and I always like to start my weekend with something nice. Like cute boys who also happen to be incredibly nerdy. It was only a matter of time. I don't know, but somehow thats really fierce to me.

ANYWAYS... I thought I would start the weekend with my alltime fav: Andy Samberg.


You may, of course recognise him from SNL where he is possibly the funniest participant (second only to Kristen Wiig, who has the best suprises) but he is also in Hot Rod (which he wrote) and the commercial with Justin Timberlake. Where he wears a wig. It's awesome.

Recently he began production on Space Chimps, which looks like the typical kids movie, but he got his start making movies with his two friends Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer on shorts at The Lonely Island.

Fun Fact: His name isn't Andy, it's David. Thanks, IMDB!
His most famous stuff is probably "Dick in a Box" with Justin Timberlake, and "Lazy Sunday" with Chris Parnell.


Here's his blog

And here's my favorite videos
Digital Short: Andy Walking
and the one that started it all:


for extra yumminess, check out his commrade Jorma Taccone... DOUBLE YUM!


until probably sunday. check ya on the flip side.

UPDATE!
so it was recently brought to my attention that the lovely boys from Lonely Island made a video for the "What Would you do for a Klondike bar?" website.
Here it is
It's super funny! I think my favorite thing about it is that every time the klondike bar is shot, its in a different setting. Take a look at the background its super funny. That and of course Andy is in it, and when he says "leave me alone" it's quite priceless. Thanks for alerting me about this one!

Trainspotting - trains + emos = emospotting


Emospotting is probably my favorite pastime next to ordering things at fast food restaurants that aren't on the menu. What's not to love about traversing through your local mall looking for emos? But emospotting isn't always delegated to the conformist hangouts like the mall or Starbucks, but the internet. Yes, can be found everywhere, and since there's nothing exciting about Wednesdays (besides ANTM and South Park), emospotting we shall go.

First of all, the Wiki site on Emos:
May I first just say that I love that Wikipedia classifies emos as slang in the actual web address. Hot. So we all know that emos wear the skinny jeans and the black and the bangs.. blah, but we didn't know that emos have been around since (according to wiki) 1985!? Dude, how long can depressed kids last? Plus I thought they were called goths back then. I digress. Wait, no i dont! Emos in the 80s?

Emo Corner
What a mecca of emoness! There's even tabs on the side which direct the unexperienced emo, or curious conformist to emo topics such as:
What is Emo?, Emo Boys Kissing, Emo haircuts, MySpace Layouts, and More Emo Stuff.
With all of these topics to choose from, I don't know how I could not spend 80 hours looking at all the vids on how to be depressed. They're pretty ferocious. Oh, and don't you just love that when emo corner pops up in a new tab, theres a little emo kid icon on it?! I know I do.

Emobucket
: It's like a big bucket of Emo (their words, not mine)
It is photobucket for emo kids. If you have time to waste, go onto this website and just start clicking. The pictures are hilarious, especially because they ALL HAVE THE SAME ANGLE, but not only that, the comments at the bottom of the pictures are probably what makes my day brighter. These kids are actually seriously commenting on pictures of other emo kids. wow, just wow. My favorite section would have to be the boys hairstyles. Just, check it out.

And Last, but certainly not least: Emo Google
Yeah, they have it. It even has ads like Google at the bottom, except that its for emo haircuts, emo t-shirts and other emo goodies. I use this instead of regular google because I feel so incredibly fierce. Not kidding, when I open my google page and its all dark and depressing, it brings a smile to my face.

So, until next time, emo-on good people, emo-on.

Oh, and if you want a major laugh, google "emo riots in Mexico" in your incredibly depressing, non-conformist browser.

The Start of Something New



If you know what that comes from, you automatically = nerd.
So this is the beginning of my blog, which might be an epic fail. That's ok though, because I have a sad love for such epic fails as: people trying to float down Niagra Fall
s, and my grandmother's attempts at cooking. I think for this first one, I'll start with week 1's loves and hates.

Love:
Swiss army knives.
I mean seriously, those things are completley badass. What other miniature tool could help you survive certain death? The best part is, they have
all kinds of varieties. My personal favorite would have to be the "executive" model, which contains, not only your basic knife and toothpick set, but a USB drive as well. Yes. You can survive in the wilderness and back up your files all in one go. Coming in at a close second would be the "cybertool lite" which contains all of the following:
  • Large Blade
  • Small Blade
  • Corkscrew
  • Small Screwdriver (Also For Phillips Screws)
  • Bottle Opener
  • Large Screwdriver
  • Wire Stripper
  • Reamer
  • Key Ring
  • Tweezers
  • Toothpick
  • Sewing Eye
  • Bit Wrench
  • 5mm Hex Socket
  • 4mm Hex Socket
  • #0 Pozidrive Bit
  • #1 Pozidrive Bit
  • Bit Case
  • 4mm Flat Head
  • #2 Phillips Head Bit
  • 4mm Hex Bit
  • #8 Torx Bit
  • #10 Torx Bit
  • #15 Torx Bit
  • Pressurized Ball Point Pen
  • Also Dip Switch Setter
  • Straight Pin
  • Patented Mini-Screwdriver
  • Pliers
  • Wire Cutter
  • Wire Crimper
  • Scissors
  • Multi-purpose Hook (Parcel Carrier)
  • White LED flashlight
  • Magnifying glass
And all in a dainty 31/2 inch package. (list comes directly from the swiss army knife website)

Dislikes: When no one will see a movie with you because it got terrible reviews. Seriously, guys. Just because I want to see the new Indiana Jones movie, does not make it ok for you to say "but it got terrible reviews." I GOT IT. Plus it doesn't matter if this new one sucks, the Indiana Jones series was ruined with the production of Temple of Doom. I don't know what kind of pot Stephen Spielberg was snuffing when he created this movie, but it sucked. He was on whatever George Lucas was on when he decided to make the prequels to the Star Wars movies. So mom, just come see Speed Racer with me. I know you say it will "ruin your childhood," but that's fine. It was ruined by being a teenager in the 70s anyways.

So that's it. Until i have more to say, because no one is actually going to read this, I will keep procrastinating.

This was sent to me by my lovely friend, who happens to suck and geography and loves Temple of Doom
