“I’m the Juggernaut, bitch!”

I swear, YouTube is the most addicting thing ever. The next two videos below you have to watch right after the other. It’ll make more sense that way. But just know that the first video was created before the second. Enjoy!

“I’m the Juggernaut, Bitch!”
I’ve always wanted to re-dub my own lines into a movie/cartoon. This guy beat me to it and I’m pretty sure his lines are much crazier than mine. Listen to that creativity asplode!

And what makes this “I’m the Juggernaut, bitch” thing so funny is that it actually made it into the latest X-Men III movie. See below:

Sunday has passed so new secrets were posted.

Time Magazine has a small excerpt from Howard Schatz’s book, In Character: Characters Acting, and it’s quite cool. Basically, Schatz asks a bunch of Hollywood actors/actresses to do their best acting impression of a given circumstance (you can read the situation each character is reacting to along with the photo). It’s a very interesting project to say the least and the 8 “pages” shown in this Time excerpt really make me want to check out the whole book now. Great photographs, by the way.

Ok, so it’s a cheesy title for a page, but Samsung wants you to take a stand for slim phones with this website campaign that shows off some of Samsung’s slimmest phones to date. Sliders, clamshells, and candybar phones are featured, and surprise surprise, which do I covet? The slider (D820). They keep changing these sliders on me. :)
I think Samsung is just good at making ANYTHING. What don’t they make yet?

Who the hell puts an asian giant hornet on their hand and then flashes it with a camera’s flash bulb?! Are they asking to be stung and potentially killed by its deadly venom? My goodness, those are big monsters.

For the nerds only: 2advanced Studios has re-done their site. I’m not sure when this was rolled out exactly, but this is new to me. For those who don’t know, just check out the site, it’s crazy. Seriously though, music on flash websites is getting so old. I wish they would stop.

Another website made by the 2advanced Studios team is Hawaii Realty International. The website really makes me want to go back to Hawaii like right now (especially O’ahu).

Yelena sends me this link of intentional twins from here. I find it funny when identical twins dress the same. My cousins do it all the time and I think it’s funny. Funny, but still weird I guess.

Since we’re officially in the 2006 Hurricane Season now, I thought it’d be nice to show you how beautiful a storm can be. And since the National Hurricane Center predicts 2006 to be a “very active” hurricane season, there should be more beautiful photos to come. I want to be a storm chaser. I wonder how dangerous it REALLY is. Hmm.

What happens when you have 200 liters of Diet Coke and 500 Mentos? Nothing but a sticky man-made geyser fountain! I’ll admit, this looks pretty darn fun to do. But what a waste.

Sony has officially given a release date for their new line of Alpha dSLR cameras (based on Konica Minolta bodies). If you forgot, Konica Minolta sold their camera business to Sony in early 2006 after Konica Minolta announced they were going to get out of the photo and film business. Anyway, the camera will be availble for purchase on July 28th, 2006, and at a price of $999.95, this camera may very well be a fantastic choice among the semi-pro dSLR class. I always told people that Sony cameras don’t really get good until you reach the $1000 range, but hey, this might bring my assumption down 5 cents. :) Seriously though, I still wouldn’t buy any compact Sony digi-cam, but this, this little jewel I’d consider if I were to buy another camera this very instant.

Check this out below:

They’re buying houses on their own, having children on their own, and even planning to retire on their own. Single folks today have what one advertising executive calls a feeling of “growing militancy.” And they’ve got numbers. More than ever before, men and women are living single well into their 30s, 40s, and beyond. It’s been estimated that, as early as 2008, a majority of US households will be headed by an unmarried person - a shift that has already taken hold in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and 15 other states.

Apparently, it’s the new “trend” to stay single and raise a “family” as a single individual (with the help of other single people). The article is very long, mainly because it gives the account of several people’s personal experiences rather than just giving us the news. But if you want a first-hand account of this new phenomenon, then feel free to read. It’s very funny that one woman was so spooked at the thought of not finding a man that her friend told her that she was “sperm shopping”.
I’m no marriage counselor or marriage-expert, but I tend to lean to the quote below:

Researchers have found that married people are happier than single people, live longer, and make more money. Meanwhile, cultural critics tell singles they are ruining America with their choices and say a successful society needs men and women to partner up and procreate. George Gilder, the author of 1992’s Men and Marriage who lives in Western Massachusetts, calls this abandonment of tradition “a great mistake.”

I think families are meant to have both a father and a mother because I honestly think that there are things a father or mother can teach or convey better than the other. Maybe I’m old-fashioned already when it comes to modern-day relationships, but I really hope this trend of single-ness in society is really just that–a trend that will sooner just fade away than stick around.
Still however, I can’t help but think that even I used to think that I would be married by the age of 25, and unfortunately, now even that part of my “planned” timeline has changed (to somewhere around 30, or even after). Maybe it really does have something to do with me not wanting to settle just to pop out some little kids (haha, imagine several Hermans running around…EXCITING!), and if that’s so, then I think it’s ok. But I don’t think I’ll never NOT get married or have kids as a single parent (ha!).

Haha, there’s so much stuff I want to write and tell you all about…I’ll do it later, because now, I have to return some random stuff! RANDOM!
