Can't You See What Love Has Done?

U2's latest video, "Window in the Skies" shows old footage of bands and artists somehow lipsynced to U2's lyrics. See how many you can identify.

this was on SNL this past week. too funny. sorry it's the uncensored version.

just in case

Just in case any of you check this more often than your Myspace or Facebook accounts-

Due to the advances in communication networks over the last 3 or 4 years, its become really easy to get the word out about stuff and plan get-togethers and what-not....

so with that- i found as many people on facebook and Myspace that we graduated with, (all of whom i think we've hung out with before and are in good standing with), about 26 people in all- and sent out invitations to go to dinner this Friday the 22nd at 7pm at the O'Charlie's in providence place (MJ)- this will just be a normal MJ kinda get-together (ala Olive Garden in the past)... nothing special, just a good time to catch up with people and fill us all in on what you've been up to the last couple of years- if you could either post something on here or email me at sburka@utmem.edu if you are planning on comming- that would be great so i know about how many to expect!- hope to see as many of you there as possible- if you want to invite anyone else- you know i dont care- just let me know...
and dont stress if you cant make it or you've got family stuff- i know its on short notice...

give me a call with any questions: 615-838-4130

Pi is the new black...

i'm telling you- its just really popular these days...

One of my favorite SNL Sketches

This is one of my all time favorite SNL sketches.

Carry on.

in the spirit of getting things going...

Josh Hunter is ugly- proove me wrong.

ummm what else...
for those of you who dont read my personal blog- shame on you- i have a photo-album of my cat here in memphis- i think you mihgt'a enjoy'a: (this is how you make a link... HAYLEY!)

ALSO- bryan- just thought you'd like to know that my pharmacy law final is TOMORROW- (dang)- but its not all that bad... the hardest thing is trying to remember all the different penalties- like for C2 or C4 controlled substances or different types of violations... seems kinda stupid- i think we should just have to know what NOT to do, so that we never have to worry about the penalties- i mean... we can't really do much about them anways... "oh crap i was going to sell some Morphine to my cousin, but since theres a $50,000 fine, maybe i wont...".... i mean... if you think you can get away with something- you're probably not too concerned with the penalty... i dunno... any lawyer thoughts on that?

also- i dont know if i said this earlier, but my last day of class ever was last week- and my last pharmacy test (before the boards- dang...) will be on monday!- i'll be home tuesday night the 19th- so start making your scott reservations ahead of time... i'm going fast!

ok gotta go!

Yep

so- we played "dirty santa" tonight...
i had this idea for a gift- i took a picture of myself looking goofy- went down to walgreens and had it printed out in an 8x10 and then got a nice frame and framed it. I wrapped it in a nice box and put it under the tree and when someone got it, the whole place went nuts- it was such a blast!
i'm definitly gonna use that again sometime... it was so worth it...


(also i saw THIS VIDEO on myspace and i enjoyed it- because i coukd sing along with the robot)

Why the World Needs Lawyers

Check this out.

It goes on a bit, but I found it to be quite entertaining. In case anybody out there is sensitive to potentially "mature" material, I would say this little video is PG-13. (Upon further review, I still think it is PG-13, but the R side of PG-13. I am not offended by this, but there are non explicit references to sexual acts. So you are warned).

What's Cooler Than Being Cool?

Way better than the original. It's amazing how soulful this version is...

So, apparently now I have to stop smoking and drinking just in case I want to EVER get pregnant. Suck the fun right out of my 20s, why don't you?

Wife Force One

this is pretty funny. i guess this guy is trying to say something about the similarities in Harrison Ford's movies.

Sleep is for babies

Nintendo Fanboy waits in line for a Wii...

in need of your help

ummm ok... so i just got my graduation pictures back (for my May 2008 graduation date- they were taken now because in january we disperse to different parts of the state to do our rotations- yeah i knew you were gonna ask that) - i gotta choose one of these three...
going for the one that makes me look the LEAST chubby, and thre MOST pharmacist-like...
yeah i know... i've got big hair... but when else in my life will i be able to look goofy and not really care? oh yeah... retirement... but before then?

oh and these are bad quality is because its from the photographer's website- and you cant save the files on your computer.... so i just took these up close with my camera and cropped them...
you get the picture... they are all actually really clear and high-res... alittle TOO high-res if you ask me :/

Wow

This has been in the news lately. Comedian (and former Seinfeld star) Michael Richards went on a bit of a racist tirade recently. When I first heard this news, I assumed that the media and PC society were just giving him a hard time. While it is never really acceptable to use the so called "n-word," I don't think that every person who ever said it is absolutely racist. Yes, something said in anger probably has a basis in genuine belief. But I think being racist is much more pervasive than losing one's temper with an individual who exemplifies the most annoying stereotypes of his or her race and reacting with a racial epithet. Again, it doesn't excuse it. But I think that being racist requires more pervasive personal belief.

Then I saw this video. It's pretty clear that it didn't just slip out. I think it might be fair to characterize this as racist. He had more than one chance to back off, and he didn't.



He apologized on Letterman. And it was really awkward. He says "Afro-American" rather than "African American." And the audience keeps laughing, but he seems genuine. Watching it just makes me feel uncomfortable.



Any thoughts?

enjoy your new plasma TV, scott.

How Rich Are You?

i guess there's some degree of error or something in it because i cant get above 107,565th place. still neat though.

Sweet New Trailer

I overheard someone talking about this so I went online to check it out. This is the trailer for the new Spiderman movie. It hugely expands on the teaser we have already seen.

Impressionist

This guy was on MadTV. His name is Frank Caliendo. He is best known for his impression of John Madden. He posted this on YouTube. It is a bit long, and some parts are better than others.. but my favorite part is the impression of Robert DeNiro as Frankenstein at 3:25.

He.... was my number one... a-guy

Black Friday Ads

now you can plan further ahead. what a great site. (you can sign up to get updates when certain ads come in.)

Black Friday

By the way, I'll be in Africa for 6 weeks...

I don't know if any of you remember that I was going to Madagascar for 6 weeks or not...but I am. I leave on Friday and get back in mid-December. Feel free to email me while I'm there as I'll probably need the contact with relatively friendly people. My address is just my name @yahoo.com. There aren't any underscores or anything else weird and I don't want to actually type it since last time I posted it I ended up on some stupid mailing list with daily unfunny jokes. Everyone have a good November, and I'll have some good pictures when I get back.
