Vera Farmiga’s Terrible Oscar Dress
Mar 8th
Stupid Decision
Supporting Actress Nominee, Vera Farmiga, showed up to the 2010 Academy Awards looking like an idiot and an old one at that.
Now this might sound like harsh criticism from another bloated blogger, but I’m just disappointed in the way that Vera decided to dress herself…I expected more.
I remember the first time I saw Vera in The Departed, I loved her casual beauty. Something I didn’t think she could mess up…until the Oscars.
Hollywood and awards shows are a constant fine line between beauty and disaster, and I’ve never understood why that must be. Most people in Hollywood, especially the actresses, are some of the most beautiful people in the world. A simple dress with some nice accessories would showcase their beauty, but for some reason these celebrities insist on dressing like idiots.
The dress and that pulled back “bun” made her look old too.
Alright, I need to go watch a sporting event to gain back some of masculinity.
Oprah leaving show in 2011
Nov 19th
Reports are circulating that Oprah Winfrey will announce on Friday that she will be ending her show in 2011. This is surprising to me, because at this point in her career she basically just has to show up, give away free shit at christmas and talk to someone coming out of rehab, and repeat.
It will be interesting to see if this leads to Oprah going to her own channel, the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) which is a new cable channel in partnership with Discovery Networks that plans to launch next year.
Also, Winfrey has made this statement twice in the past only to later resign her distribution deal with CBS.

It Could Be Worse…David Hasselhoff
Nov 7th
David Hasselhoff, the former Baywatch, Knight Rider star showed up at the MTV European Music Awards acting a little strange.
Hey, can’t a guy fall off the wagon once….or twice.
What’s more disturbing, A. that his guy still has a career or B. that sequence jacket
And I always wonder, how many drinks does it take to get this guy loaded. 1,2,3,4,15 and what’s he drinking beer. wine, jack, sangrias.
Hoff, it could be worse, you could be this demented loser from Orlando who went back to his engineering office that he was fired from 2 years prior, killing one person and injuring five. Jason Rodriguez, recently filed for bankruptcy, as he owed nearly 90,000 and was making less than 30,000 a year at a Subway. Hey Jason, join the club. Two years ago, I was on the radio in Philadelphia talking to thousands of people everyday, and now I’m sitting on my toilet doing this show for about 7 people a week. 30,000 beat me last year, you selfish prick. I went from hanging out with celebrities, to serving beers in a movie theater. Enjoy your next job, folding laundry and cleaning highways…
It could be worse, you could be this scared paparazzi, who thought he was getting great footage of Tony Soprano, until Tony starts charging…and I love it how these paparazzi instantly start acting like a victim, hey Tony chill out, hey tony relax…Whack!
Congrats to the New York Yankees, for officially being the least likable team in America.

Beat it…Apartment Living!
May 13th
You Can Keep Your Housing!
I hate apartments… I REALLY hate apartments…but it wasn’t always that way!
The first time I experienced apartment style living was in college. I loved it. I enjoyed being around all my friends. I liked the excitement of people doing different things every night. When you live in a dorm, it isn’t hard to find someone to drink with any night of the week. You could always find someone to go in on a pizza with you and occasionally (and very rarely) you could find someone to study with.
Then, I remember the first apartment that I moved into all by myself. I miss that apartment. I had such pride in being able to pay for an apartment all on my own. It didn’t matter that it was bleeding my bank account dry…I just loved the freedom.
But now three years later and sixteen months into another apartment, I’ve had it. Nothing would signify the american dream more than having a stand-alone building with a yard.
I can’t handle another night with a baby crying!
I can’t handle the smell of curry wafting through every crevice. I mean really, the smell starts at 10:30am and doesn’t stop till midnight.
Even as I write this, it sounds like the people upstairs are hosting a rugby match or having couch races or killing a boar.
Some nights before I fall asleep, I rest my eyes and try to have happy thoughts on my future. On day, I envision walking out of my front door and actually being outside. I imagine having friends over and actually cooking hamburgers on a grill and not on a George Forman. And as I wander off to sleep, I’m normally startled awake by a loud bang of my neighbors.
Beat it…Drunk Guy bothering Musicians!
Mar 31st
Most of us have done it once in our lifetime and for those who haven’t, you’ve probably thought about it.
I’ve done it.
I’ve been the worse offender of this.
But now I plead to fellow drunks, leave musicians alone!The best way to explain this awful phenomena is start at my drinking habits. I have two types of drinking modes; sober and out of control. When I get out of control, I can embarrass myself in a record amount of time. But one of my favorite things to do is when I am at a drinking establishment with any type of music, I like to position myself near the band or DJ and talk (with slurred speech) about how they should present the music.
If there is a DJ, I request songs.
If there is a band, I tell them what to play.
And god forbid if they are doing a good job, I give a nod of approval as if I was a talent agent looking to sign the next big thing.
Normally, I’m never conscious enough to realize how annoying this can be. Either to the music maker or to those just trying to have a good time. But I have seen the errors of my way and I vow to change.
Recently, I was at a local watering hole enjoying a couple of late night drinks. The music was coming from a DJ who had a bongo player beating along to the music. I was the designated driver on this night so I wasn’t indulging as much as I would’ve like, but I loved the music. So with a Budweiser in my hand, I made my way near the bongo player to watch him go to work.
And that is when the first drunk guy made his appearance. He tried to have a conversation with the beat-maker which was nearly impossible because of the loudness of the music but as he tried to get closer he was knocking the mics out of position. The bongo player decided that the best course of action was to ignore the drunken mess until he went away, which he did. However, within minutes another drunkard made his way near the bongos and stared at the musician and nodded with the music inches from the musicians face. I don’t know how he did it, but the guy just slightly turned his head and pretended as if this nuisance wasn’t directly in front of him.
And that is when it hit me. It took 27 years but I finally realized that when you are drunk it is really annoying to bother musicians.
The bongo player was probably making $25-50 that night and was just trying to do a good enough job to come back the next week and get a paycheck. He didn’t want to be bothered. He was just trying to provide music so that everyone would have a good time, but for whatever reason drunkees unknowingly try to ruin this.
It is as if we are trying to prove that we have as much musical talent as these professionals…we do not! If we were as good as them, we would’ve been hired to perform.
So the next time you think about making your way to the band, stop. Stay where you are and enjoy the company of those you are with.
Unless the band is really awesome!
