Pork and Beans

Orion Avatar

Once in awhile there is just something so awesome it must be discussed and distributed to the masses. I present to you, Pork and Beans by Weezer. If you go to the youtube page you can watch it in higher quality.

I’ve already watched this video at least ten times, went and got the song on iTunes and all that good stuff. I recognized a good portion of all those meme videos on youtube, but there are still a ton I don’t catch yet. So far I think there have been 24 actually recognized in it by various people. How many can you find?

Edit: Okay here is a pretty comprehensive list of everything in the video thanks to a comment post on digg.com. Most of the titles should link to the appropriate youtube videos.

David Cook wins American Idol 5/21/08

bren Avatar

Cook beats Archuleta by 12 million votes.

Did we see that coming? Even though the night before the judges tried to sway the audience into voting for Archie. Bad, bad judges. But at least Simon apologized to Cook before the winner was announced. Maybe he knew the results before hand and was trying to save face?

So what did you think of the show?

Can anyone say “Blast from the Past”? Does anyone even know who Donna Summers is (err was)? Seeing her being ‘helped’ down the stairs was a bit depressing. And Bryan Adams looks so old. Nothing like making us ‘old timers’ feel much older by putting them up there.

I have to admit I enjoyed Cook singing with ZZ Top. He seemed to fit right in with his raspy voice. And ZZ Top is from ‘my time’, so I could get into it. “Sharp Dressed Man” brought back some good memories. So that was the best part of the show for me.

The worst part (for me) was having to watch Jason Castro sing again. Funny, he sang by himself (they couldn’t find anyone to match up with him like they did with everyone else?) and I couldn’t find the link on YouTube. I guess I wasn’t the only one who didn’t care to see him again.

So David Cook is the New American Idol. I wonder how many people are happy with the outcome, and how many of you are disappointed. I liked both of the David’s, but I am glad Cook won. It could have gone either way for me and I would have been happy.

If you missed it, or would like to see it again, here are some links from YouTube. I think I got them all (except Jason’s).

Enjoy…and hopefully we will see you next year. (The song names link to videos.)

Yay for snow

bren Avatar

(Wow, it’s been a while, hasn’t it?)

We are getting hit with a nice snow storm. I love waking up and seeing it all white out side, and snow coming down really hard. I took a couple of photos looking out my back window, but I need to get out there and take more. It’s no fun taking pictures through a window. Blah.

I want to take meeka out there too because she’s never been in the snow before. I just hope I don’t lose her because she is all white. (ugh lol) I want to see how she’s going to react though. She’ll probably just sit there in a daze. Hopefully anyways. I don’t want her freaking out and running off.

I’ll probably end up taking a few vids too while I’m out there, and post them on youtube later. It’s been about a month since I posted anything there. And even that vid was from a while ago. Hmmm…

Nothing is really new with me. Same ole same ole here. Just taking things one day at a time…

(hey, I found Santa *L*)
