Shameless Plug: Propcorn

Well, here’s a shameless plug for my friend’s new social challenge website.  It’s called Propcorn.  Here’s the description on his website explaining about Propcorn:

“Ah yes, well, Propcorn is a Social Challenge Site. That’s right, networking is so 2004, we’re more into challenges. As a result, we want you to be able to prove to all of your friends that you really were “right all along” about “that one thing.” Propcorn is the place to track all of those “that one thing” ideas/questions that you have. More than that, you can propose “that one thing” (which we’ll call a Prop) to a friend because they think you’re “off your rocker,” and you want to prove them wrong.”

It’s a really cool idea and I’m on there.  My name is thelegendofkwil.  Check it out.  Click the link above.

Hypocritical?

Just a thought… why do people get criticized harshly for their opinions, especially when they are not the popular or most “politically correct” opinions?  Just as one side is allowed to have an opinion and voice it; so should the other side.  It’s kind of funny because it’s usually the side that complains about inequality or not having free speech that is the side that is also harshly criticizing other people for their opinions, and slamming these people to the media.

Isn’t this hypocritical?

Modern Warfare 3… Epic

Wow, this trailer looks great.  Kind of creepy seeing battles fought in America… I would hope that it would never come to that.  But regardless, nothing much else to say but watch this trailer.  It looks ridiculously good.

Some Good Videos

I’ve been sitting here watching YouTube videos during this crappy weather for a few so I figure I will post some good ones.

Here’s one about Michael Jackson by Jon Lajoie that is hilarious… and if you think about it, it’s definitely true.

This one is pretty self explanatory… I can’t wait for this one.

Here’s one from Jimmy Kimmel.  It’s not that new anymore but it’s pretty funny, the Hottie Body Hump Club.

That’s enough for now, I will post more.

The Verdict Is In

Barry Bonds found guilty… wait, we all knew that when the size of his head increased to four times the size that it was before.  This isn’t breaking news.  And honestly, if he just confessed and told the truth, he would probably still make the HOF considering he didn’t even need to ‘roid up to get there in the first place.  His ego is now the size of his head… maybe if that didn’t grow, he would be fine by now.

Can’t Brett Favre Just Retire… AND STAY RETIRED?

I am so sick and tired of hearing about Brett Favre… the guy needs to just stay retired and go away.  I see rumors of him returning to mentor Cam Newton… he wouldn’t even mentor Aaron Rodgers.  Why would he come back to mentor Cam Newton?  Enough is enough with this garbage and the media enables it.  Brett Favre… GO AWAY!

And don’t send anyone pictures.

No Shame!

You should be watching Showtime’s Shameless.  Period.  So if you aren’t, get Showtime and watch it.  Seriously.

This show is awesome.  It wrapped up the first season and was renewed for a second, and I can’t wait for it to start back up again.  There’s so much going on with it that makes you laugh… although really, it probably shouldn’t be all that funny.  I’m sure it is somewhat realistic to some dirtbag parents that do raise their kids while drinking so much alcohol and taking so many drugs that half the time, they can’t even stand up.  They fake injuries and are considered “disabled” and don’t have to work for a living.  They take the money and use it at the bars or for their own enjoyment on things that they don’t need.  But realistic or not, this show is hilarious.

William H. Macy and Emmy Rossum are basically the lead, although all of the characters play a huge part in the show.  But they all do a great job of making everything believable, even though it’s so off the wall.  I don’t really want to say what happens because it will give parts away… but do yourself a favor and watch the first few episodes.  I think you can even watch the first one from Showtime’s website, which I linked above.  You’ll be hooked, almost guaranteed.  Or totally turned off and disgusted, but if that’s the case, you probably shouldn’t be reading Useful Mumbling.

That’s all I got for now.  Doooooooooo it.

Hence the name, March Madness

Wow, my bracket is definitely busted.  VCU just beating Kansas completely screwed me over.  Considering Butler (8 seed) and VCU (11 seed) are the two teams already in the Final Four, I would say that the NCAA Tournament is the definition of parity.  Cuse losing in the 2nd round also sucks… I can’t win.

Angry Birds Birthday Cake

Haven’t posted anything on here in like a half a year, but probably going to start posting again… so I figured I would start out with an awesome video.  If you’ve ever played Angry Birds on your phone, you’ll probably agree that this is cool as hell.

Never Forget

I can’t believe it’s only been 9 years since the attack on America.  It seems like it was so long ago… but it really wasn’t.  Some of the cowards that murdered thousands of innocent people in the Twin Towers are still lurking in their caves and probably are plotting more attacks against us and the entire Western culture.  These fundamentalist wackjobs are dangerous because they don’t even care if they die… they see that as their ultimate goal anyway and think that they will become a martyr.

I remember where I was during those attacks.  I was in 10th grade in Social Studies class, and my teacher came in and said that TWO planes had hit the World Trade Center, and that there was no way that this was an accident.  Then he went on to tell us about the coward called Osama bin Laden and his cult of murderers.  I was just dumbfounded… I couldn’t fathom the idea that someone was attacking America on our own soil.  I couldn’t believe that this could have ever happened.  Seeing those towers collapse was one of the worst things that I have ever witnessed, and that I will ever witness, in my entire life.  To see people jumping out of those buildings to end the suffering definitely brought me to tears while I was sitting in class.  I was just so sad for these people and for their families, and so angry that someone could do this to human beings on purpose.  I used to see the towers on the NYC skyline once a month or so while driving over the Verrazano Bridge to visit my grandmother in Queens.  Now, they were gone.  Going there a couple weeks later and not having them in the distance as we drove to New York, but only seeing a huge cloud of smoke that was still in the air, was awful.

The whole thing is just something I will never forget, and something that nobody will ever forget.  We cannot let history repeat itself.  We need to show these people that they cannot mess with us.  I don’t care what we have to do to eliminate them.  Anyone that just wants to murder innocent people like that should not have human rights.  Support our troops that are doing what the police, firefighters, and everyone else that was in danger on that day did for all of us.  They are risking and GIVING their lives for us.  Support them… they are supporting all of us, regardless of their own or our political opinions.

Never forget that day, those people, or the idea that all of this needs to be stopped.
