Ask Madden

yoyo....so today on o and a lil' jimmy norton made some good points...they were discussing the group of black guys that beat a white man in a deli (video is all over youtube)...he was talking about how the media is afraid to call it what it is, a hate crime...and how i was on page 17 of the post but a noose being hung gets on page 1...he also said how if it was reversed and the white guys punched a black guy al sharpton would be all over the place having a hissy fit...he also noted how never did the news make any mention of race in the case, which it was obviously about

started watching arrested development, really great show....will arnett is my hero in more ways than one

what up.

one question: why can't there be an oscar for best comedy? i think superbad should have won something, not for excellence of cinematography or anything, but just because it was a such a great everyman coming-of-age movie, and hysterical without being too over-the-top. that's just me.

yo yo... american idol roundup time

Because of the theme (60's), song choice, and strong voices i would like to see Chikeze and David Jaeger back on next week, they both had really strong voices but didnt do the best of songs

Im not sure what i think about david hernandez, except that he scoops and bends waaaaay to much

David Archuleta i did not like that much. but i know he will go very far because he is very young and looks very young, so he will get a large following

Garret seems cool, like a cool guy to hang with...Robbie Carrico was good...Jason Castro and Mike John were both very good and now frontrunners i think...i think it's no coincidence they went last

i HATE HATE HATE Danny Noriega...i hate his whole sass attitude and flamboyance and everything needing to be "hot"...i hope a brick falls out of the sky and lands on his skull live thursday after he gets the boot

General show thoughts: I continue to think Paula is absolutely useless on the show. She should be reminded that she is allowed to say bad things, instead of just sugar coating a bad performance by saying someone is nice...i actually laugh when i look at her, she just looks ridiculous.....

I still don't like that you vote for who you like. I think it would be much better if you voted for who you wanted OFF. It would be better for so many reasons. For one it would prevent whole towns and just people who know someone for voting their person on. Instead those people will have to pay attention and vote for the worst.

i miss blake...his performances will be missed

what up. trying to redeem my place as second most frequent blogger, so i'm keeping up the posts.

guess what blog fans? it's time.

p.s. adam, how could you not mention batman? also should be noted: smith from shoot em up, 300, sean connery in general, and maximus from gladiator. just off the top of my head.

yo yo....i just watched Rambo(the latest) and it was a total bad ass movie. I found my self many times whispering "wow that was bad ass". So it got me thinking as to what makes up the bad assery of a character, because i was thinking what movies/characters were bad ass.

to be bad ass i think there needs to be minimal talking, maximum ass kicking. if a character talks to much it takes away from his bad assery. also, he needs to not have a lot of inflection in his voice..no screaming, whining, etc. everything needs to stay pretty calm. it also helps when a character is severely underestimated. there is nothing more bad ass than thinking some guy is a punk ass and then he totally stabs you and you die. however being totally feared to the point where you cry looking at him is awesome too. the best is to be underestimated, then totally feared right after. that is the best form of bad ass. hand to hand combat that ends in bloody death is also real bad ass.

i'll list off the top of my head some characters/movies that are bad ass

Terminator
Rambo
John McClane
Casey Riback
Eraser
Vin Diesel (in Knockaround guys)
A bronx tale
Jean Claude Van Damme (Bloodsport)
Darth Vader
William Wallace
The Boondock Saints
Sam Jackson(Pulp Fiction)
The Punisher

i still have a beard, and now i write poetry for my creative writing class. i am a bad stereotype of myself. maybe i will post some.

i went to the colbert report and the warm up comedian made fun of me for looking like an artist.

i've noticed my hands are less sweaty than the joefi of yesteryear. bonus.

we should make an official o.g. and friends facebook group.

i want to order a pizza from ciceros to my apartment, so matty k shows up and makes me happy

yo yo...two of my favorite movies are on right now...Outbreak and Higher Learning...i watched higher learning only till my favorite scene thats near the beginning since i havn't seen outbreak in a while....in that scene a white girl gets raped, and her roomate answers the phone to the guy who did it, and the guy calls her a black bitch...she tells her black friends(ice cube) and they march over to the frat house mid-party...the white girl who got raped points out the gay and they drag him outside and make a fool of him...the pussy ass white boys just stand around scared..its pretty awesome

yo yo.... so one of the jena 6 was arrested again for violence in his new high school...choked a student and smashed his head on a table

so im cleaning my room and i found my journal from 4th grade...it must be really hard to be a elementary school teacher...you have to pretend to be interested in stupid crap and grade horrific handwriting...im amazed how she comments on all the stupid crap we write about in our journals...some excerpts follow

-"what kind of car do you have? and what kind of car does your sister have?"-my 2 questions we had to ask our teacher

-"I look like i always do. A little kid with a mushroom haircut. There isn't much to say. I also look smart" me describing my appearance that day.

- i spelled daschund "doshin"

- i talked about my dad's old shop dog "Mr. Dog" a lot, and in an entry said if i could talk to him i'd ask him why he runs away and where does he go

-i said i would be venom if i could be any super hero...boy how my concept of heros was skewed

-in an imaginary day me and parweez visited the spiderman factory to see a spiderman show made...apparently tv shows are built in factories

-one entry asked for our hardest secret...i said i didnt't know but thats a fucked up question

-i described and drew my bed and its exactly the same

-if i had 2 hrs to spend with a friend me and joe flachs would watch wrestlemania 12 for 2 hrs

-apparently my favorite band lived in california...im not sure but i was probably offspring

-seinfeld is the best family show

yo yo...this is the first time ever i am blogging from my room...ive been in here the last 4 hours cleaning/throwing crap out and listening to o and a ...i figured it was easier to bring my computer upstairs than to copy the file to a cd and find a cd player...good ol macs being easy to transport

yo yo...sometimes i think about everyday things that freak me out with their complexities....things as simple as phones amaze me...i can talk to someone thousands of miles away in real time...thats amazing! literally instantly words im speaking are traveling through thousands of miles of wires, sometimes across the world, its really fascinating
also sewage systems seem like they are very complex...when you think about a housing development and what it would look like if u saw underneath with an interconnected sewage system its pretty amazing...i always wonder what happens to the things i flush down the toilet

yo yo....this is how much the candidates have spent on hotels this campaign and how much they could have saved if they stayed at a holiday inn express

Hillary Clinton spent $502,932 — a waste of $136,105.

John McCain spent $360,784 — a waste of $138,230.

Barack Obama spent $833,247 — a waste of $364,952.

Mitt Romney spent $708,189 — a waste of $284,060.

"i went out for sushi the other night and the rice wasnt as sticky as i liked it and my sushi fell apart so i sent it back and made them throw it out"
-jim

"I have personally poured about 4,000,000 gallons of milk down the drain....I have done this about 50,000 times in my life....i will buy a gallon of milk and pour about 1/8th cup for a cappucino, then go out on the road for a week, come back and pour that spoiled gallon of milk down the drain"

"Give a nation grain and rice and they'll eat for 20 years....teach them that the dirt beneath their feet can be used for cookies and they'll be dead in a week" Louis CK

what up.

GIANTS!!!!

new york city is tearing itself apart right now, there is ridiculous amounts of screaming and shouting and honking. i think my downstairs neighbors are going to kill me for the jumping up and down. what a game.

no yo yo...gongs blog made me think of this(shoot me now)....sometimes i think about if i were to fall out of a plane without a parachute how would i position myself as i got closer to the floor. do i want to go head first for instant death? i think i'd actually rather go back first
