self-deprecating humor, get some

The Amputee Rap by Josh Sundquist

Here’s a link to the update video Zach Anner put out: Thank You, Internet Also check out John Mayer’s response.  I may not support a lot of John Mayer’s behavior, hell I don’t support some of my own behavior, but that video seemed really genuine. I thought what he said about how the “chair disappears” was right on the spot.

Also-completely on topic, but I only found it because I googled self-deprecating humor, to make sure I was using the right choice of words I found this article:

“self-deprecating humor can be an especially reliable indicator, not only of general intelligence and verbal creativity, but also moral virtues such as humility.”-Guardian (Note: anthropologist Greengross conducted this study in Britain)

Night!

Happy Start of The Soccer World Cup Day!

Kayak just launched Explore.  Put in: where your exploring from-your budget-what time frame your thinking about and voila! Kayak finds deals for you, pretty neat! I just tried it:

Exploring from Frankfurt Germany, budget is well under $500, and thinking about the winter (since I’m not coming back to the states)–also added bonus under Explore from it has What? where you can choose your temp range and what activities you want to do…looks like I’m headed to Spain!

This makes me absolutely sick. The Big Picture: Scenes from the Gulf of Mexico

Jason Bateman and Will Arnett formed the production company DumbDumb and here is their first “ad” short-movie for Orbit gum The Prom Date. I absolutely love their humor, loyal fan since Arrested Development, so anything they put out I’ll enjoy. Bateman:”You told me that you were giving her excellent marks.” Arnett: “Nothing a good pair of leggings can’t cover”

CH Internet Distractions I can totally sympathize w/ this one except lets switch out the youporn with my Google Reader

In case you wanted to- Jerzify Yourself!

This was one of my first CD‘s, along w/ The Cranberries and Natalie Merchant–I’d like to thank my Dad for putting me way ahead of the music curve (didn’t really appreciate it back  when pop groups ruled the world)

This reminds me of the Lioness who took care of the orphaned oryx and went on to take care of two more afterwords

Apple! Avatar! Mars! Oh, My!

How funny would it be if Steve Jobs didn’t announce the Apple Tablet tomorrow. I’d love to see the faces of some die-hard Apple lovers. If your bored or just have a deep desire to see the launch you can check out this live blog of the Apple event. Don’t get me wrong, I’m looking forward to seeing the final product. The hype is a bit ridunkulous though.

It’s official, Avatar has become the highest grossing film of all time.

It looks like Friday will be the best night to see Mars.

This is by far the geekiest posting I’ve ever published. A music one to follow w/ Jonas and Beiber…there’s my popeater side!

Can’t Wait for the New Year

I’m a big fan of Mash-ups. This one takes this the cake! DJ Earworm has made a mash-up of the top 25 Billboard Hits of 2009. Here it is:

Hopefully this won’t make you blue: Rare Blue Moon right in time for New Years!!

If 2009 film is any indication of what’s to come in the new year than I can’t wait. Here’s the trailer for Christopher Nolan’s new film Inception. Also Toy Story 3 clip! Big fan of the first one and an even bigger fan of Robert Downey Jr. (saw Sherlock Holmes on Sunday and thought it was a fun movie.) Bring on Iron Man 2!
