[Sorry I'm Late...]

Maybe I should start by saying that this animation made by Tomas Mankovsky is freakin’ awesome…LoL…I don’t even want to know how long it took to fully complete this project, but regardless, the end result was well worth the effort without a doubt…The animation is very similar to the style, creativity and visuals of SONY Playstation 3′s revolutionary game LittleBigPlanet……Check out the full video below…

[Video Games...]

Maybe I should start by saying how not only cool and awesome this animation is, but also how appreciative I was of the fact that Musclebeaver featured Guybrush Threepwood, Lechuck and other characters from the classic Monkey Island series; one of my favorite and most enjoyed game series of all time (which was recently revived).

Other gaming titles and characters such as Super Mario Bros, Doom, Tomb Raider’s Lara Croft, Pong, Pac Man, and Space Invaders are featured in the animation as well. Check out the video below…

MSLBVR 2008 (c): “This animation we did was planned and animated for the prologue of a documentary. (That explains the absurd, unfinished seeming, ending.That is where the actual documentary starts…. ) The briefing was to show an evolution of computer games. The documentary itself is about different people, based here in germany, showing their everyday life, and their addiction to the same specific, famous MMORPG (massive multiplayer online role playing game):”WoW..”. Every game character in this prologue was reinterpreted, redrawn (…one pixel at a time), and animated frame by frame.

[Digital Bliss...]

Maybe I should start by saying, that if you have a laptop of any sort and have utilized it to it’s full potential to the point where you took it into the bathroom with you; you have experienced Digital Bliss……

[Greatest Freak Out Ever...]

Maybe I should start by saying that I have never seen anything like this before in my life…This kid is out of control…Basically, the main kid in the video got his “World of Warcraft” Online Account cancelled by his mother and he flips out and throws a temper tantrum, which is all caught on tape by his brother who plants his camera in the room right before he comes in…

I don’t know what that game does to people and/or if this kid has some sort of psychological disroder or is possessed by demons…But this was absolutely hilarious to me…(The funniest part to me is at 1:10 in the video clip…LoL…Priceless)…Check out the video below…

FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS…!!!

Maybe I should start by saying that if you don’t already know, I am very eclectic and diverse in all of my interests, one of which happens to be Musical Comedy. I know it might seem a little strange being that Musical Comedy is an area more known to whites, and is highly embraced as a part of their “culture” if to call it (No Racial…LoL).

But one of the more interesting things about whites is that they deeply enjoy Musical Comedy and singing comedians. This particular style of humor incorporates an individual or group singing a song, but instead of singing about something in a serious or meaningful ton or mood, it has funny lyrics and a sarcastic ton. Simple as that. It is an ingenious idea because when you have  a set of jokes that really aren’t that funny and music that isn’t that spectacular, you can mash the two of them together and create something that will be sure to entertain. And white people can’t get enough of it with the breeding of the likes of Weird Al Yankovich, Tenacious D, Sarah Silverman, Dennis Leary, Adam Sandler and the headliners of this blogpost Flight of the Conchords.

I happened to come across Flight of the Conchords a long while back whilst skimming through YouTube videos. Flight of the Conchords is a Grammy Award-winning New Zealand comedy duo consisting of members Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement who label themselves as “Formerly New Zealand’s fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo”.

The duo also star in a television series for HBO, titled “Flight of the Conchords” (Who would have guessed…), which premiered in the United States in June 2007. The fictional series basically revolves around the pair as they try desperately to achieve success as a band in New York City and try to develop an American fan base with them hailing from New Zealand.

In all honesty, their style, charisma, sarcasm, musical talent and creativity are all highly appreciated by myself as well as their huge fan base. Each of there performances and songs that I’ve come across have really been hilarious and made my day each time. So know comes the time for you to be the judge…Check out the two videos below and of two of their performances one old and one fairly recent (depends on what you consider old and fairly recent).

NO RACIAL!!!!!! (2009′s No Homo)

       Maybe I should start with the new term “No Racial” coined by Timothy DeLaGhetto aka Traphik……In simple terms…The term “No Racial” is 2009′s “No Homo”…….It’s pretty self-explanatory and I was really amazed at the concept and idea…Brilliant Humor………………Still confused???…………..Then check out the video below and enjoy…Definitely a knee slapper…LoL…

Twitter: What are you doing???

       Maybe I should start by touching on a new innovative internet craze that has been growing rapidly though out society; and that innovation is Twitter…I was unfortunately out of the loop for a while and throughout much of the growing stages and not to long ago was it that I fully learned what Twitter actually was, even though I had been hearing about it here and there. But for those of you who don’t know, Twitter “is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?“ (Twitter.com)

At first, I thought of Twitter to just be a stupid idea and was placed onto my list of ridiculous things that people do, like or associate themselves with. Especially with seeing many of my friends leaving Twitter like messages in their AIM Away Messages time and time again, to the point where an away message was transformed into a current status update or mood expression (Which I myself even started doing at times). So, long story short…I ended up creating a Twitter account and follow a bunch of friends and celebraties, as well as have a few (very few) followers for myself…(LoL)

But anyways…Here is a video that I came across on YouTube, that makes fun of Twitter. I found it to be somewhat amusing…But either way…You be the judge…LoL…Check it out…

25 Things I Hate About Facebook…!!!

      Maybe I should start by doubling up on the funnies this week and throw in another video that I cam across which I found to be both very funny and very true. I mean, don’t get me wrong, Facebook is a great site which is very useful for networking, keeping in touch with friends and a few other fun uses. However, there are plenty of aspects of the site that get very annoying both on their own and based on how people use them. So, check out Julian Smith’s video “25 Things I Hate Aboue Facebook”…

Back in Action…!!!

      Maybe I should start with the fact that it almost looked as if my blog site was going to have just died out and fallen to the way side due to me not making and updates or even any posts for that matter within the past 8 months, which is pretty embarrassing. However, things got extremely hectic and my blog site ended up getting pushed down the lists of my major priorities. But, even with things still being very hectic at the moment due to school, work, family, and other responsibilities and obligations my blog site is something that defines a large part of who I am and the impact that the world has on me as well as those around me. So, to make a long story short I am finally back in action and will be making regular blog posts and keeps things updated as best I can.

A lot has gone on both in the world overall and in my life at small, both personal and public and I have a lot to say and a lot of topics to address whether they be old or new. So be prepared for many of my upcoming posts on race, college life, politics, gender, and a host of other topics.

For starters, here are two videos that I recently came across that literally had me cracking up.

I used to be a fan of American Idols a few seasons back but over the years I have lost a great amount of respect for the due to the bias and unfairness of the program and don’t waste my time watching it anymore. So here are two American Idol Parody Videos that I think everyone will find to be pretty funny…There are a host of other videos in this particular series, but I just found these specific two videos to be the funniest…LoL…Feel free to check out the rest on Youtube if you like…

Especially the Espys…!!!

      Maybe I should start with the fact that there are still many special broadcasts with great moments on American television, especially the Espys. This years 2008 Espy Awards Show which marks a historical night in sports chronicles, and was in my opinion (compared to previous Espy Award Shows that I have watched) one of the best, most entertaining and most memorable.

The ESPYS

      This years Espy Awards Show was hosted by Pop-Singer Justin Timberlake who entertained, awed and stole the shows with his inimitable singing, quirky antics and comedic skits. His “I Love Sports” performance was particularly funny and plain genius as were his other skits and antics.

       Surprisingly, even the illy infamous Will Farrell was actually able to the make me laugh and not just a little but a lot. As much as I consider him to be not funny and would never pay to see any of his films, I must admit that his Espy Awards skits were hilarious.

      Of course the traditional Awards were given out in usual fashion leaving many proud; and countless inspirational moments were reflected on ranging from that of the Jimmy V Award recipient Kevin Evert who fought back after having sustaining a paralyzing football injury, to the prominent and commemorative Arthur Ash Award (the highest achievable sports award) which was awarded to Tommie Smith and John Carlos for their courageous and life changing act of holding up black gloved hands during their Olympic Medal Ceremony and battling through the repercussions that followed. The introduction to the award was an extremely powerful, emotional and moving piece that all should see and take in without question.
