Get Out of my Head!

I've had a song stuck in my head for about 23 years now and I wish it would let me live my life!

I'm sure you all know it. Maybe if you all click on the youtube video it will enter your head and leave me alone!

I couldn't find the original video of the song so heres the next best thing......



I love this next song too but it doesn't live in my head. Thank god!



Chris's delivery of the last line is awesome!

UK TV Show Paints Awful Picture Of The US

Earlier in the week BBC car program Top Gear spent a whole hour telling it's viewers that America was an awful place to go and shouldn't be visited by anyone.

The shows presenters were placed in Florida with $1000 each, told to buy a car and then drive it across a few states to Louisiana to inspect the destruction of Hurricane Katrina one year on.

Now I have never felt a connection with the United States but I really felt uncomfortable with about just how much US bashing was featured in this episode.

OK, that being said the episode was really funny when Clarkson wasn't bashing his Atlantic neighbours. Here is an eight minute clip of the boys being chased out of Alabama after they wrote derogatory statements designed to cause trouble on their cars.

OK This One Is Just For The Nerds

I saw this pic on a 'Caption This' contest with the winning caption being "Giant Wiimote rivals original Xbox controller in size." OK, the more that I read that the stupider it gets. Sorry, I'll just shut my big fat mouth. Well the original controller was crazy big though.

I love my XBOX, even if I do only play one or two games on it. Is it wrong to have a collection of 48 XBOX games and only ever play two of them? Maybe I should donate the rest to poor kids who cant afford games. Who am I kidding, they would just abuse me for not having Playstation 3 games!

PS If you are looking at this post with Mozilla, congrats! You are seeing the layout I had hoped for. If your looking with IE, sorry.

The Internet Is Just A Mouse Click Away

Blockbuster Video's new ad that aired during the superbowl makes me laugh everytime I see it.

It so reminds me of the internet that we had back in the 90's

Jesus Camp

Last night I think I watched the only documentary I have ever seen with no bias in its presentation. It is a real credit to it's directors Rachel Grady and Heidi Ewing.

Jesus Camp was able to effectively portray an honest and impartial depiction of one faction of the evangelical Christian community.

It's definitely worth seeking out but in the end I couldn't help but turn into Cartman from Southpark. I almost started making plans to move to America to join these people and ultimately get rich. I think Pastor Ted Haggard has that effect on some people.

Did I Leave A Blog Here?

I never wanted to stop blogging but as with everything, life gets in the way. I've been able to spend a bit more time on the computer lately so I thought I would do some blogging too.

I give you the third re-invention of jaso32's blog, The Curse Of Great Beauty complete with a new template. Since my wife is the one who understands web design I have had trouble with the new template so it looks really cool in IE but sucks in Firefox. Isn't it usually the opposite?

Well if you visit here often you will probably find a few YouTube vids and not much substance but isn't that was blogging is really about?
