The Miss Teen USA pageant took place last week and while almost nobody will remember who actually won the pageant, everyone will remember who didn't. Namely, Lauren Caitlin Upton, Miss South Carolina, and the third place winner. Why would everyone remember her instead of the winner? Well, it is because her superior intellect was so refreshing that you can't help but remember her, watch this video to truly understand.
Anyone have a map?

Hack!!!!
No doubt, just about everyone has heard about Kyle MacDonald. He was able to turn a red paperclip into a house through a series of trades. Well, now meet George Hotz, of Glen Rock, New Jersey. George is the latest internet blogger to make a trade for something "sweet". George was able to trade his Apple iPhone for a Nissan 350Z, 3 new iPhone's, and a paid consulting job. Not bad for a 17 year-old high school kid. Now, this seems pretty ludicrous, I mean, one iPhone for a new car and 3 new phones. Well, this wasn't just any iPhone, it was special. Now, I am not talking make you breakfast in the morning or a complimentary reach around type of special. No, what this phone could do is work on the T-Mobile network. OOOOHHHH! AHHHHH! That's right, this 17 year-old spent 500 hours trying to figure out a way to hack the iPhone to allow it to work on other networks besides AT&T. Well, he found a way, and is being handsomely rewarded for it. Of course, the legalities of this issue are still up in the air, but hey, with a 350Z, he will have no problem finding a date on Friday night.

In Honor of.......
I have a friend who told me she was really excited after hearing that I had started a blog. That is, of course, until she read my first post, which was about sports. After hearing this, there was only one thing I could do.....dedicate my next sports blog to my friend, ErinFaye! So, this rest of this post is now in her honor.
Tiger Woods made yet another milestone today on his way to becoming the undisputed greatest golfer in PGA history. He won his 4th PGA Championship, 13th major win, and the first major champion to make a par on the 72nd whole in Southern Hills history. Since turning pro, Tiger has dominated the sport and is well on his way to being the Michael Jordan of golf. To put his dominance into perspective, he has more majors than the rest of the Top 10 in the world, COMBINED!!!! I got to watch his final two holes today, and I got to tell you, the best part wasn't watching how he sized up every shot, how he was hands down better than everyone else. The best part was that I got to watch it in High Definition. If you have never watched a sporting event in High Definition, you are truly missing out. Not only is it clear, colorful, and like being right in the action, but the detail is amazing. Here they are playing golf in 100+ degree heat, and I could actually see every little bead of sweat pouring off of the heads of the golfers.
The lesson I learned in all of this is that it doesn't matter how boring golf is to watch, and it is, high definition will make it worth watching, everytime!!!!!!

Stay in School
Over recent years our society seems to have become obsessed with "Bling! Bling!". The hip hop culture thrives on the idea that to be a "Baller" you have to have tons of money, or at least spend money like you have it, with their "iced" out chains, big houses, fancy cars, tv shows like My Super Sweet Sixteen, etc. Tiger Woods pulls in a cool $100 million a year, 90% of which is endorsements. We look at celebrities and athletes and want to be like them, have their money, or their lives. Well, if that is what you are after, then I am here to tell you that your standars are rather low!
That's right, these people pale in comparison to the true "Baller's" of our generation. If you want to learn more, I suggest watching The Fabulous Life of Billion Dollar Wall Street Ballers. I caught this show over the weekend I must tell you, these people make bank, and spend like they do! Tiger makes $100 mil a year, highest paid athlete, well, Stephen Cohen, the hedge fund king, made $1 billion last year. They also make large charitable donations, like raising $71 million for a charity in NYC, oh yeah, that was just in 1 night. These people could outspend and out"Ball" any celebrity or athlete on the planet. So, next time you decide that schoolwork is unimportant because you want to be a famous musician, or athlete, or celebrity, just remember, you are only limiting yourself, because you can make a whole lot more "cheese" in the business world.

It's HOT!!!!!
So, one of the better movies to come out in the last year has to be Hot Fuzz. This is the latest installment of comedy from the same people that gave us another classic, Shaun of the Dead. Anyway, this movie came out on DVD on Tuesday, and I had to run out and buy it. It was great, I had my $20 Best Buy rewards certificate, so it would be a free movie. I came home, ate dinner with the family, and proceeded to my local Best Buy to make my purchase.
Now, I don't usually rush to buy these movies, I don't wait in line, I don't try to go over lunches, etc. I mean, what's the point, the movie will be there after work or the next day, just go when you have time. Well, that didn't really work out for me. I got to Best Buy where they had a huge display set up to hold all of the DVD's that they carry, except it was missing one little thing, the actual DVD. Yeah, apprently, they had sold out. Well, I take that back, they did have about 5 copies of the Full Screen version. Unfortunately, I don't buy full screen movies, waste of money for my widescreen tv. No worries, I figure I would just pop over to Target to get the movie, I had to run there anyway. Again, no luck, they didn't have any copies of any kind left. Alright, maybe Hastings.....Wrong again! Finally, I make my way to Wal-Mart, which I try to avoid because I hate that place, but I was desparate. All of a sudden, the Heavens open up, the light shines, and I am able to buy the 2nd to last copy of the Widescreen version.
Now, I gotta say, this is the first time I have ever gone looking for a new release movie and had such a tough time trying to find a copy. I guess the production company underestimated the movies underground popularity and the demand that would be out there, somebody needs to fire their planner!!!!!!

And the Survey says.......
So, apparently researchers at the University of Texas were so hard up to find a topic to study, they decided that they would study the Why's behind people have sex. I know, I know, the question that plagued me when I read this article is that nobody had tried to tackle this kind of topic before. I mean, I have spent numerous sleepless nights asking myself, why do I have sex? Why does anyone have sex?
Lucky for us, after spending 5 years, yes, that is right 5 years of studying this topic, they have found the # reason why men and women have sex. And the survey says........."It Feels Good"! Oh wait, there is more, they even uncovered that men are opportunistic when it comes to sex, if it is there and available, they will jump on it. I was flabbergasted when I read that, I mean, who knew.
The only saving grace I have about this entire study is that they apparently spent there own money on it, so luckily, our hard earned tax dollars weren't wasted on such revolutionary research!
