If there's anything this country loves more than fast food and bad pop music, it's completely unnecessary competition amongst small children. Ok, maybe not entirely true, but having the national spelling bee televised on ESPN and ABC is a bit too much for me. In fact, having it on tv at all is something I find highly ridiculous. I've held a grudge against spelling bees since my days as a 5th grade lad when, in front of the entire school I misspelled the word wisp. That's right, you heard correctly, I misspelled the word wisp. w-h-i-s-p, buzzer, you are incorrect, go sit down and be embarrassed for your entire life. Even so, Scripps-Howard can kiss my ass with their corporate sponsorships and exploitation of prepubescent foreign children to promote their annual championship. You fail.
This isn't to say that the spelling bee hasn't given us some hilarious moments over the years. Everyone's seen the video of that kid fainting while at the mic and then getting up only to spell the word correctly and go on to win the thing. That's badass, good for him. Yesterday, however, provided us with more hilarity from the eventual winner of the competition. Kick back and enjoy 'numnah vs. numnuts'
I also realize I didn't start this title with an I think... It got old after 3 posts, it's my blog, so fuck you and enjoy your weekend.

I think this season of Lost ending is going to drive me crazy.
Seriously, it's the best show on tv, no questions asked. If you've seen it, watch seasons 1-3 on dvd in a consecutive manner, then download all of season 4 after Thursday night. This Thursday will mark the end of the strike-shortened season 4 with parts 2&3 of 'There's no Place Like Home'; I couldn't be more excited. On the other hand it means no Lost for a long while, so I may possibly go insane. There's going to be an extreme game changer (hopefully regarding some kind of time travel), plus we find out who is in the coffin from Jack's flashforward in the season 3 finale. All in all, should be the best tv event of the year so far, maybe even of the series as a whole; only time will tell. Here's the preview from youtube to hold you over for the next 44 hours...
Hopefully Entourage doesn't suck this summer, also Heroes will be back September 15, so therell be a few things to bide the time during the Lost layoff :/
PS- My new phone is the shit:

I Think Kanye West is the Most Stylish Motherfucker on the Planet
But with my ego, I can stand there with a speedo
And still be looked at like a fucking hero...
-Kanye West "The Glory"
Who better than Kanye himself to tell us all that he agrees with me. Say what you will about the man: Conceited, Narcissistic, Vain, etc etc; but he backs it up in every way possible. He's the hit machine producer turned international superstar rapper, and he's rewritten the definition of what it is to be a fashion icon. He never looks bad for any occasion, but is never afraid to take a risk. His influence on the fashion of our generation can be seen from scene kids in the suburbs to inner city minorities. Let's take a look at some various examples...
From the red carpet, to the stage, to the block, rarely does he seem out of place. He's got an incredible eye for what looks good and most importantly, he doesn't give a shit what you think about him. Perhaps the best indicator of what I'm talking about is 2 years ago at a Stella McCartney fashion show, Kanye rocked the blood red LRG Dead Serious hoody a few months before it even dropped (pictured below). In the next few days the internet was flooded with people looking to find out where they could get their hands on one. When you can show up to someone elses fashion show and steal the show just by wearing a hoody in the audience, you are officially a fashion icon in my book. Kudos Mr. West, keep doing your thing.

I Think the Year 1999 Destroyed our Current Generation
It all started with some harmless reminiscing. MTV Hits Playlist led a group of us to the internet, in search of music videos from an era I had long since forgotten. The first youtube video I was told to find was this gem:
I'm not an elitist, I just hate most people
This blog will feature my thoughts. They are better than your thoughts, hence the title. Most post titles will be an encompassing 'I think' statement, which I'll then build on. Feel free to leave comments about what you think, I'll probably make fun of you later with someone whose opinion I value more than yours.
