Randomness, Vol 4

Short one today.

It was just be super duper if psychos would stop shooting a bunch of people and then killing themselves. You're crazy and you want to take yourself out? Go for it. I'm not saying it's a good idea, but don't be a douchebag and take a dozen people out with you. Is that fair?

Apparently Miley Cyrus thanked "The Kids" in her Kid's Choice Awards acceptance speech. That's 16 year old Miley Cyrus, thanking the kids.

Anyone who thinks their job is safe, just remember, "Obama can now fire you."

I think people 40 years and older watch and discuss "American Idol" more than any demographic at this point. When I hear a middle age woman, opining how she is happy they got rid of "the good looking gal with the hideous tattoo", I wonder if this is what the creators had in mind when they launched the thing.

The Verizon Hub (http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/vzhub/overview.jsp?lid=//global//phones+and+accessories//verizon+hub) is one of the coolest concepts I've seen in a while. Which means that it probably won't catch on and will just fade into oblivion.

I've been saying for months that "Fast and Furious" was a great idea. I didn't expect it to be $72M opening weekend great. Don't underestimate the staggering drawing power of The Diesel. I bet he could make "Pacifier 2" a number one hit.

Nightmare on Elm Street is going to be rebooted with a new Freddy Kruger. So, now we've had Friday the 13th, Halloween and Star Trek rebooted, among others. How about a new "Police Academy"? I swear to god, I wrote that last sentence and then looked up Police Academy on IMDB. New Police Academy coming 2011.

I don't get Twitter yet. I'm on it and from what I'm deducing its basically like Facebook where you give status updates and that's pretty much it. But I already have a Facebook for that. I don't get it. Yet.

Opening Day tomorrow: GO RED SOX!

I'm finished,
Nate
