My Thoughts on the CT Shooting

(Please, everyone, keep in mind, this is not the only tragedy to have occurred on Earth. Let’s all remember and hope the best for the families dealing with tragic losses worldwide, from shootings, natural disasters, accidents, and self inflicted harm.)

I am disgusted. Disgusted beyond belief. How can such a tragedy happen to innocent people?

The man couldn’t have been anything less than insane.

Keep your children safe, everyone. Shootings should NEVER happen, no matter the victims, no matter the place.

Earworm: “I Can’t Make You Love Me/Nick of Time” by Bon Iver

“Justin Vernon’s voice could cure AIDS… Fact.”

Wow. All I can say is wow. His voice is magnificent, and I only got into the indie folk band’s music when I started using Spotify, a few weeks ago.

No wonder they won a Grammy. (As if awards really mean a person/group is talented…)

Have a listen. Somehow the piano just makes me… Feel.

Funny YouTube pages such as this…

Are the reason why teachers don’t trust Wikipedia. Don’t look at it and just be all, “WTF IS THIS,” just… keep scrolling. Come back and comment your thoughts.

Cam Newton Windows Phone Commercial.

I saw this not too long ago, and I found it hilarious, well, at the very end anyway, when he did the pound cake and the french fries. He’s a great player, and he also seems like he has some good screen presence.

It also almost makes me want to dive into the Windows Phone world. Almost.

Earworm: Dragonball Z Japanese Intro

Yeah this is an odd one, but for some reason, I’ve been humming this on and off for the last few days. Probably ’cause my buddy Jose mentioned it when I spoke to him last.  I grew up watching subbed versions of this, and I damn near went into full trauma when I saw the English dubs.  I still love this cartoon, and would only watch this in its original Japanese form, nothing more.

 

 

Pacquiao Down

I’m shocked. Bewildered and shocked. The first 8-division world champion, arguably one of boxing’s greatest, was put to sleep last night.

As a Filipino, it becomes a holiday when a Pacquiao fight comes around. We all gather at someone’s apartment or house or wherever and we feast until the main bout comes by. We sit there watching intently, screaming and shrieking and clapping and punching while our guy is winning.

Such is the case of the night of December 8th, 2012. While it technically was December 9th on the east coast, I’ll try not to confuse anyone.

Pacquiao was winning. Undoubtedly. He knocked down Marquez and put a beat down on him. According to his corner guy, however, Manny was straying away from the plan. I have a feeling Manny was right to stray away from the plan. But when he didn’t, boom. Lights out.

Manny was in the midst of flurries and just pounding an injured Marquez (broken nose, trouble breathing) that entire 6th round. He picked up the pace and went in for a kill shot last second. Too bad he was on the receiving end of that killshot. In a last ditch effort, Marquez tried to throw his signature right. The thunderous shot nailed Pacquiao. Next thing you know, we’re all gasping and silent, watching Jinkee Pacquiao rushing to the ring in tears.

How could this have happened to our main man? Why didn’t Pacman just back out? Why did he have to fight Marquez a fourth time? He won 2 out of 3 anyway!

I expect a fifth fight. Pacquiao can’t let this be his last.

Earworm: “Welcome Home” by Radical Face

A smooth and relaxing song for you guys.

The soft guitar and clapping really make me feel happy. The song’s music video is trippy, honestly. Out of focus shots, slow movements…

Enjoy the song!

Earworm: K-Pop Edition – S.E.S – Twilight Zone

With all this ‘Gangnam Style‘ craze, it brought me back some years ago, when a friend of mine got obsessed with this one k-pop group called S.E.S .  I don’t understand the language, but it had a nice beat to it, and, the girls looked mighty attractive, which is why my friend was obsessed with them.  In any case, this is the one song that I could stand to listen.
