On to the next one, on to the next one...
Another sunrise sunset, another day to get up and get going on the day. Been a slow past 24 hours but still got some things to touch base on; got sick overnight somehow :(. I really don't see why people have an aversion to medicine and will only try to take the "natural" way. I understand about the chemicals and want to keep the body healthy and whatnot, but medicine like Tylenol, Advil, antibiotics prescribed from the doctor, have been so effective over so many years, how can people be against proven techniques? Somebody enlighten me lol.
Movies: I know it's a bit late but I HAVE to talk about Black Swan. I saw this movie during the Toronto International Film Festival and I knew to expect an intense movie, especially after seeing his previous work of Requiem for a Dream, but this movie was just mind blowing. Not so much in terms of the plot itself, but more the vivid camera work, musical score, and of course the superb acting by Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis. Even though most people see this as a ballet movie, once you watch it get's everyone's attention; I can't wait for the Oscars!

Natalie Portman "discovering" herself, yum
TV: Once again Jersey Shore is in full effect, Season Premiere last week was as always entertaining, but this Ronnie and Same dynamic really puts a damper on everything, I don't see what they offer besides awkwardness and drama, which I guess is why they stick around. Clips for the rest of the season seem somewhat promising, and note: Just because people watch Jersey Shore doesn't mean they're stupid; sometimes people enjoy watching train wrecks and I enjoy watching Snooki getting punched, Situation getting slapped and random arguing with people who have IQs lower than their respective ages.
Beat that beat up!!!
Quick note: Check out this new show Shameless starring William H Macy and Emmy Rossum. The premise is a family of about 6 fend for themselves without a mother and a drunken dad who doesn't do anything. Definitely some interesting dynamics within the show, but here check out the trailer:
Something new and refreshing instead of your standard How I met Your Mother and Big Bang Theories which are slowly jumping the shark.
Random: Being in my last year of University has given me a lot of perspective on things. Here's some sound word of advice, enjoy everything you have the opportunity to enjoy: parties, friends, clubbing, drinking, random adventures. Do it all because once everyone graduates you're stuck in the real world. Also don't get too carried away though, you're in post-secondary education for a reason, do your work, study, and when it's all set and done, you can look back and see that you do it right.
Also, for a cheap, good whiskey, try out McClleland's; very inexpensive and is very smooth and has a nice taste to it. No idea why I decided to bring that up but there it is.
I had some more stuff I wanted to actually rant about, but I guess I'll wait for another day.

First Post? Let's Get It Started
First off just want to settle myself into this blogging atmosphere; don't know what to expect or how things go but should be fun.
About me: Student at University in Ontario finishing up my degree in business. Don't really talk about school much, just want to finish up and head on into the real world.
Music: May sound cliche but give me some Pac, Biggie, Run DMC or anything really with a good beat and I'm in. Though throughout this blog you'll see a lot of different types of music.
Sports: Follow football, basketball, and baseball. Minnesota Vikings, Toronto Raptors, and Toronto Blue Jays!!!!
Movies: Everything; from chick flicks to zombie.
Now that a brief introduction has been done let's rant.
NBA: Another decent day of games capped with the Knicks facing the regrouped Lakers and the Miami Heat(Boooo) up against Portland. Now as much as I hate to say it Miami is really giving it to the league. Whether it be Lebron or Dwade, or even Bosh putting up his solid numbers, the Heat or just rolling through opponents. Though, when up against top teams they have shown weakness, they're putting it all together and the next while should be good.
Lakers win, not too much news as the Knicks show again that they are a mid-level team that CAN hang with the big boys at times. But what about Wilson Chandler who has been consistently killing it this year. I wouldn't even waste my time with Carmelo Anthony with a guy like Chandler putting up beastly numbers and with definitely a smaller contract. BEAST!!!
Quick side; seems as if Melo might be heading to the Nets in a 3 team trade involving Denver (obv) and Detroit. Nets are looking to land Melo, Billups, and Richard Hamilton, but will be giving up Devin Harris, Favours, Troy Murphy and draft picks. Imagine the Nets with a starting 5 of Billups, Hamilton, Anthony, Brook Lopez, and (insert forward). That team would definitely be able to hang with the best; though apparently Billups if traded wants to be bought out instead of playing for the Nets. Guess we'll have to see how everything play outs.
Random: When going out to the club, for the love of God PLEASE don't get sloppy; goes out to guys AND girls. It's a freakin' club, you go there to dance and have fun with friends, dance and have fun with friends and to pick up, or just to pick up. In any of those cases being a sloppy POS isn't helping anyone, especially with clubs being packed and people falling everywhere. If you want to get sh*tfaced go to a houseparty or stick your face up Rosie O'Donnell's ass after a midnight Taco Bell run; STAY OUT OF PUBLIC.
Also girls stop whipping your hair back and forth; it gets in everyone's mouth, pokes their eyes and is just a pain when the girl you're dancing with headbutts you in the tooth... If you want to be like Willow Smith (Will Smith's daughter) that bad, I would gladly choke a bitch :)
That's a wrap for the first blog, don't know what I'll be talking about tomorrow, probably include a movie and some entertainment stuff.
