Happy Halloween, You Bastards!

Halloween is today and here is a lowdown of all of types of costumes you will see tonight:

POP CULTURE

Sarah Palin

Every year, a new movie or celebrity takes the world by storm, and so naturally these people become hot ideas for Halloween costumes. The only problem is: do you think you are the only "Sarah Palin" out there? Just because Tina Fey did it doesn't mean you're going to be able to. Don't even consider this unless you have the accent down or you at least look kind of like her... otherwise you will just end up looking like a real estate agent. This costume has alot of potential and could be really funny, especially with the election next week, but unless you're willing to go all out, maybe you'd better reconsider...

The Joker

"The Dark Knight" was one of the biggest movies in the last few years, and everyone seemed to fall in love with Heath Ledgers performance as the Joker. But that was MONTHS AGO! I know the DVD is coming out soon, but It's time to hang up the Joker shirts you bought at Walmart and let it go. The Joker is no longer topical, and if i hear "wanna see a magic trick...?" at all tonight I am going to perform said trick on whoever asks it. Even if YOU do the costume well, the fact that we are going to see 7 other Jokers at the same party makes the costume more annoying than anything. And besides, most of them end up looking god awful. So even if you look more like this than like this, it is the other assholes who totally ruin the fun for everyone.You might as well be Austin Powers at this point.

FUNNY/NOT SO FUNNY COSTUMES
Inappropriate Costumes

You know the type of people who dress like this. We all know at least one of those guys. The type of guys who quote family guy every chance they get. The type of guy who always talks about how great he is in bed or how much pussy he gets, but you never see him with any girls EVER. Said guy will buy this costume expecting to be thought of as bold and the life of the party, but will in fact will get nothing more than a "that's gross!" from a cute girl as she goes and talks to someone who decided to be a little more original than ordering a $50 costume from funnycostumes.com.

Cross Dressing Costumes


Guys don't (normally) wear women's clothing. We get it. Every year I see this costume and I wonder, are these guys just trying to be funny, or are they using Halloween as an excuse to be a cross dresser for a day? I ask myself, has this guy run so low on comedic gold that he has to stoop to public humiliation to get a chuckle? I guarantee you that girls do not find this costume attractive. Guys wearing this "costume" will probably be seen standing as close to any girls who haven't seen his costume yet (because trust me, this guy will make sure that EVERYONE has seen it by the end of the night), in hopes that they will "by chance" see and think its funny. You may also see guys in this costume dancing and groping each other because they are "so drunk" and everyone thinks it's "so funny!".

SEXY COSTUMES

Girls With Nice/Decent Bodies in Sexy Costumes

I would be a liar if i said i never liked the sexy Halloween costumes (on women!). But it is nice to see some class and some effort put into them. Far too often do I see a girl in a red top and plastic devil horns claiming to be a devil, or a girl in a mini shirt and a pair of handcuffs claiming to be a cop. Just because you have a killer body doesn't mean that you get a "get out of rant free" card when it comes to costume critiquing. OK maybe half of one... OK fine, as long as you're attractive and your costume complements it and it's at least somewhat tasteful, you can be whatever the hell you want. Which brings me to my next type of costume...

Fatties in Sexy Costumes

I have no problem with people who are overweight. I have a problem with people who don't know their own body type. I don't wear muscle shirts because I have no muscles, just like people with 6 toes don't wear open toed sandals. No one wants to see that. I understand that it might be hard for plus sized women when their friends are dressing up like sexy school girls and hot nurses, but I guarantee feeling left out feels alot better than being laughed out of a party, or having your picture posted on break.com the next day. Besides, dressing in skimpy clothes will only make your hot friends look hotter by comparison.

OTHER TYPES OF COSTUMES

The "WTF Are You Supposed to Be?" Costume

We get it, you like Half Life. You think that Halo's Master Chief is the most "badass" character in a video game. But here is the problem. Not everyone is into what you are into. If you have to explain your costume, chances are, its not cool, its not funny, and its not worth the time and money. While these costumes are fan boys dreams, to everyone else here in the real world your chances of getting laid are smaller than the guy in the "Blow Me" Tissue Box Costume's.

Couples Costumes

When done right, these can be cute. But do we really need to see another Fred and Wilma Flinstone? Don't you think the world can live without more Supermen and Wonderwomen? Does dressing up in matching Hippie attire make you the most clever couple at the party? NO, it doesn't. I understand alot of guys get dragged into the couples thing, but If you at least take the time to think of something original, people will be much more impressed. If you are going to do something trite, at least make it something that makes sense.

There you have it, A Short list of the many costumes you will see. I hope you all have a great Halloween and I hope none of your costumes end up on my list next year! Did I miss any? Well tell me!

New video almost done, so come back again soon!

Elect A Hottie Into Office!

No, not THAT one! Paris Hilton!

A few months ago, John McCain released an attack ad on Barack Obama in which he compared him to the likes of Brittney Spears, Lindsey Lohan, and Paris Hilton. Surprisingly enough, instead of crying about it, Paris Hilton posted an actually pretty funny video on Will Ferrel's FunnyorDie.com, "Announcing" her campaign for presidency and thanking John McCain for nominating her.

The Media of course had a Field day with this, and several videos later, just 8 days (at the time of me writing this) away, She has released a full on music video telling us why she would be a good president. Such reasons include: painting the white house pink, making Simon Cowell a Supreme Court Judge, Enlisting a "Fashion Police", and being our "Commander in Bikini". The Video is Below:



Here is my opinion.. Anyone who knows me knows that I have a soft spot for Paris. Not because she's "LikekK SooO Tootalllaty Haawwt!" but because I KNOW alot of people are jealous of her. I mean who wouldn't be? Would I want my kids looking up to her? NO. Would I let her have MY kids? Probably (but that's a story for another time). The point is, she knows she does nothing to contribute to society. She knows shes just another hot blonde, but she is either confident enough in herself or so full of her self (you be the judge) that she is able to do things like this. She's been keeping a low profile, and it's nice to see that she's coming out of hiding to try and get people to vote, and to make people laugh while she's doing it. She has done alot of bad things in her career. The Sex Tape, Going to jail, The Hottie and the Nottie, but its nice to see that she seems to finally be growing up.. or at least is starting to realize that being a complete whore is NOT HOT.

It's Been A While...

I've been really busy so I haven't been updating my blog. I have been job searching, playing the new spider man game, and editing a "documentary" i filmed of my friend chads visit here. I should have that up (or at least a preview) in the next upcoming week or so. I went to best buy in my spider man costume to buy the new spider man game, and filmed that too so that video should be up soon too. So basically a lot of cool stuff coming up!

I feel dumb posting a blog without posting anything else, so here's a video of my friend a while back fighting a fat chick!

Skinny Girl Throws Down Against Fat Girl

If the fat chick wasn't too busy thinking about her next piece of cheesecake, maybe she would've had a chance. But as it went, the skinnier girl beats the hell out of the fatty in this awesome catfight.

In Accordance to Blog Action Day...

Today is Blog Action Day! For those of you who do not know what that is:

“Blog Action Day is an annual nonprofit event that aims to unite the world’s bloggers, podcasters and videocasters, to post about the same issue on the same day. Our aim is to raise awareness and trigger a global discussion.”

So with the current economic situation these day, it is no wonder why Poverty was chosen as this years topic. With the nations debt increasing and the number of available jobs decreasing, people suffering have even less ways to get help. Money is tight for a large group of Americans, but what if money wasn't a problem? Would people help this cause directly on the street?

The answer is no. The reason for this is because of the age old "what if he spends the money on drugs?" mentality that Americans have grown up with. Not every homeless person is going to spend money on drugs, but there is still a large possibility that a homeless person who is suffering from a drug addiction could very well be hungry.

So how do you help these people? There are a variety of ways. If you are in a hurry you could go into a local fast food joint and order something for them off of the dollar menu or you could Give them that bologna sandwich in your lunch that you know you're not going to eat anyways. If you aren't in a hurry, spend the day making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and taking them to people downtown who truly need it. There are also many other projects, like The Burrito Project (http://www.myspace.com/burritoproject) which make burritos and give them to the homeless, that work together in large numbers to work together in feeding the homeless.

I don't have to tell you how awful poverty is, but hopefully this blog helped remind you of a global problem that has been ignored for too long. Hopefully it also will give you ideas on how to help the poor. Thanks for listening and if you'd like more information on Blog Action Day go to www.blogactionday.org.

Spider-man: Web of Shadows!

This Game honestly looks like its going to be THE SHIT. I don't play very many video games, but I have a soft spot for old spidey. If you are a fan of Spider-man, Venom, Marvel, or just Zombie games in general I highly suggest you check out the games just released launch trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7GOTetMZFQ) NOW, and Spider-man: Web of Shadows when it comes out October 21st.

Here's To You, Ms. Meadmore (The 105 Year Old Virgin!)

http://news.aol.com/article/woman-105-credits-no-sex-for-long-life/207584

From the Article:

(Oct. 10) - Clara Meadmore, who celebrates her 105th birthday Saturday, says she knows the secret to a long life: no sex.

The retired secretary, who lives in a nursing home in Cornwall, southwestern Britain, says she is a virgin and has no regrets about it, according to reports in British newspapers.

"I've always had lots of platonic friendships with men but never felt the need to go further than that or marry," The Telegraph quoted her as saying.

In a world that is obsessed with sex, it's nice to see someones mind who's not completely in the gutter. But at the same time... 105! That's a lot longer than most people live! You'd think she would at least have it on her "Bucketlist" or something. I must admit, she looks pretty good for 105. So here's to you; Clara, the only (internet) celebrity without a sex tape!
