WHO's GOT IT FIGURED OUT!

So AWESOME

Her Morning Elegance - Oren Lavie

This was just way too cool not to share. Enjoy.

The Kite Runner

When Atticus shot the foaming dog, I didn't flinch.

When they raving lunatic little boys threw piggy off a cliff and smashed him with a boulder, I chuckled.

When Rachel was killed by the Yeerks after 50+ books of her being a bad ass in one last heroine act of crashing an entire ship, I didn't so much as gasp.

When Lenny killed that girl in the farm, I could honestly care less.

But, when I read those last 2 chapters of The Kite Runner, I smiled with excitement, then my heart stopped as I continued to the next paragraph, then I cried! I read on as fast as I could through tears for the next two minutes, clutched my book for dear life, prayed to the heavens with Amir, and sighed the heaviest sigh of relief with a smile on my face and happy tears still streaming. As I read on I fell into a slight depression and felt sadness creep into my very soul to the point where I felt there was simply no hope. I wanted to turn the pages back and go back to the happy chapters of the book, the ones before Amir became an insomniac. But I had to finish, so I read on and to my relief, I once again was smiling at the end, with a renewed sense of hope in the world.

Never in my life had I read a book that made me cry or feel any of these emotions to this extreme. This book built up to the very end, not just one climax, but many to the point where I had 15 pages left, didn't think anything could happen, I was coming down the last 100 meter stretch and BOOM! It hit me hard.

Not only did I read a good story, but I actually learned quite a bit. I had never really payed that much attention to what was going on in Afganistan. I feel like I know so much more now, I've seen a human side that I would like to see flourish again in my lifetime, not just the filthy Taliban hiding in caves planning to destroy us, I now realize that Afganistan is just as much a victim as we were back on September 11.

I'd tell you to run to your local library and check it out now, but I would say, don't do it if you don't have an open mind and the willingness to plow into he depths of a great novel. But when you do, the Kite Runner will be waiting for you.

AT&T FAILS

iPhone users across the U.S. were disappointed Monday to learn that AT&T, the only operator in the country offering the iPhone, won't immediately support a couple of key new features in Apple's new 3.0 operating system that will be available starting next week. But AT&T says these features are coming.



HAHAHAHA! I Can't believe that AT&T can't keep up with the iPhone, sad... If you wanna read the whole thing, click here

5 hour rain delay for a Baseball Game

OK, so these guys decided that 5 hours of a Rain delay was making them a little edgy, so instead of playing Baseball like they were supposed to, they decided to take on a new sport... Dancing.

Movies coming out!

So, Cookie and I went to go see UP last night, which was so awesome and another example of Pixar greatness! While there we saw some great trailers, and also spotted a poster for a new Studio Ghibli movie coming out in America called Ponyo!


We also saw a trailer for a movie called Shorts, which should be good, and some dumb ones like G-Force, but there were one that gave both of us a restored interest in Disney... THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG!



Its gonna be sooooo great! Cannot wait!

Interview With Natalie Portman

I Came across a funny, and very awkward video of a fake interview with Natalie Portman (who is amazing in every way, shape, and form if you ask me, V for Vendetta, Garden State, Star Wars, etc...) so yeah... check it out, even more awkward than when she did that Rap on SNL! Credit goes to @therealnp (aka, Neil Pattrick Herris who I am following on Twitter hoping that it is actually him because Barney Stenson/Dr. Horrible/Dougy Houser is friggin AMAZING!)

Third Degree Smoking

Has anyone ever heard about this? It is so crazy that THIS actually has a name now. So we have Smoking (idiots if you ask me), 2nd Hand smoking (yeah, thanks you inconsiderate nicotine crazed idiots), and now, 3rd Degree Smoking, yeah...

"That’s the term being used to describe the invisible yet toxic brew of gases and particles clinging to smokers’ hair and clothing, not to mention cushions and carpeting, that lingers long after second-hand smoke has cleared from a room. The residue includes heavy metals, carcinogens and even radioactive materials that young children can get on their hands and ingest, especially if they’re crawling or playing on the floor."

Seriously, with all the bad that smoking can cause, how can anyone still do it and think it is cool. D-U-M-B-A-S-S-E-S.
