0 5 for Friday, April 19th

Here's another 5 for Friday, coming straight at you from beautiful and rainy Shadyside... 1. Buying a house can really suck.  Last week, I said buying a house is expensive.  I forgot to leave out the part that it can really suck.  I learned on Wednesday that the super late appraisal didn't go well, which means I'm stuck scrambling for another mortgage.  And it also means that I might be homeless come May 1st.  Seriously, people didn't do their jobs and now I'm left in limbo and totally stressed out.  The sad part of the whole situation is that I purposely made closing in 60 days in order to avoid ever getting stressed...

1 Facebook is terrible

There is no good way to put it. Facebook has become an awful thing, an albatross around people's necks. Five years ago, Facebook was great. You could creep on people's spring break pictures, watch people have a meltdown in real time or see who got fat or bald (or both) since high school. But Facebook has changed. Now, you are bombarded with people sharing random nonsense that you don't care about. You see a million pictures of other people's babies (side note: I don't give a shit about your two month old, random person who I had class with 6 years ago, unless you are posing them in puerile pictures). People feel the need to air their dirty laundry...

0 5 for Friday, April the 12th

Seriously, this will be regular feature.  I just had to missed last Friday's because I was en route to a bachelor party in beautiful Kentucky that was filled with tons of beers, bros and bourbon.  Anyways excuses aside here are 5 random things racking my always random brain... 1.  Elysium is going to be the movie of the Summer.  In case you missed it, the trailer for Elysium dropped this week and it looks amazing: The movie is directed by Neil Blomkamp who directed District 9 a great movie that one day in the distant future will be mentioned in the best of movies discussion.  I'm also a fan of Matt Damon who is always...

0 The Accidental Horribleness of Accidental Racist

A song as ridiculous as Accidental Racist, deserves a special breakdown.   Sean: Tell me you saw the Brad Paisley/ L.L. Cool J song... Marty: All I can say is wow.  I can’t believe that this is an actual song.  It is bad on soooo many levels.  It is bad on an intelligence level, bad on a common sense level, bad on a this is nonsense level and most importantly bad on a musical level.   Sean: April Fool’s Day was a week ago. People pulled pranks, told tall tales and exaggerated things. I told one of my friends that I got engaged. Lindsay Lohan tweeted out (a day late, naturally) that she was pregnant. Those...

0 Pranks on Pranks on Pranks

Who doesn't love a good April Fools' Day prank?  I certainly love them.  I think my first April Fools' Day prank was a 6-year-old me putting Pop Rocks on my Grandfather's spaghetti.  He had no idea what hit him.  In honor of April Fools' Day, I've come up with a list of some of the best pranks on the web.  I feel as if I'm very well versed in most pranks on the web because I was once got in a Youtube Vortex where I probably spent 3 hours watching pranks.  In no particular order, here are some of my favorites: 1.  No one wants to wake up next to really freaky dude with a beard... 2.  Will she say yes?
