he did it again ... i don't know is this like the third or fourth time i change the template ... well i didn't want to but i was bored and not being able to post big youtube videos was bugging me ... the space in the previous template was too small ... now i can post big ones like the below ... what a dunk ... anyway ... i also removed a lot of the clutter ... most of those little badges and the tag cloud and that long list of websites as well ... don't worry you'll get used to it ...

Dunk of the Day

quote of the day

"The peace process in the Middle East is not like IKEA furniture," one Israeli official said, "It takes more than a screw and a hammer, it takes a true understanding of the constraints and sensitivities of both sides, and in that Sweden failed miserably."

It hasn't been a great year for Israeli-Swedish relations. First there was the controversy over an article which accused Israel of stealing Palestinian organs. Then this week, Sweden issued a proposal calling for the EU to recognize East Jerusalem as the capital of a Palestinian state.

how cool is this guy

let's go to prison

this movie was recommended to me by prudence ... it is a comedy ... felt like i needed something light after boys don't cry ... and while it is a movie about prison it's not as dark as you might expect ... it is a comedy after all ... the blonde dude in the photo plays a guy who is always getting into trouble and ending up in prison ... and it is will arnett's dad who is the judge that is always sentencing him ... so he vows to get revenge on the judge once he gets out ... but the judge dies before he can take revenge ... so he decides to take revenge on his son instead ... how does he do that ... by getting him in trouble and getting him sent to jail ... but not only that ... he then gets himself sent to jail as well and becomes cellmates with arnett ... hilarity ensues ... good comedy for whoever is looking for one ... 8/10 ... ending is kind of lame but it doesn't matter ...

reflections

you can treat someone like absolute shit ... worse than shit ... and they will be angry ... stop seeing you ... stop talking to you ... block you on msn ... delete your number ... but they will never remove you from their facebook ...
