10 Things to Think About on a Friday

So here we are folks, less than 6 days from taxes being due (still working on mine...shit!) and only two days from one of my favorite eating events of the year...Easter. A pretty good week in all...UNC made me 80 bucks by trouncing Michigan State in the title game, I saw Monsters v. Aliens in 3D, I got to go to a Warriors game for free and tonight I'm heading over to catch my first baseball game of the season when the A's take on the Mariners in Oakland. But until I get to go out to the ballgame and the crowd, here's 10 things to have your mind run a few circles around as you treadmill your way to 5pm.

1) If you haven't heard it yet, Eminem has a new song out. If you prefer to catch the music video, it's here. What I love is Kim Kardashian's response to Em's dig at her....she's honored! Jessica Simpson wasn't so pleased (Em is dressed like Tony Romo and throwing hamburgers to her)

2) In other music news, Courtney Love wants money. As in over 700Mil. Why? She's claiming that bad and bogus investments were made in her name using Kurt's money.

3) I've heard of road rage and getting in the other driver's face, but when you're not allowing a vegan to express their opinion of food on their license plate, isn't that taking courtesy just a bit to-far? You decide...Tofu or F-You!?

4) Discouraging news this week when it was announced that rather than conducting a Reggie Bush probe and an O.J. Mayo probe, the NCAA was combining the two into a USC probe. Not good Trojans, not good.

5) Wonder who thought it'd be fun to sabotage internet, cable and phone service for the vast majority of the Silicon Valley on Thursday. The thought that it might be union workers that had expired contracts with AT&T is particularly disheartening. Let's be good to each other folks!

6) I'm pretty sick and tired of John Mayer. It wasn't enough that he made the song "Your Body is a Wonderland" which became the masturbation music of almost every radio listening female between 13 and 45. Then he has to Twitter while giving interviews about how stupid Twitter is. Then he has to continue making stupid ridiculous pop music. Now people are talking about him having a crush on a 16 year old. Here's an idea, let's just STOP talking about John Mayer. He's not worth our time. If he's not famous anymore, maybe he'll go away. Of course, by writing this, I'm partially adding to the very news I hate, but the guy makes me want to watch radio pop music decompose into something very very ugly.

7) I was amazed on Sunday to see how many Mormons are on Twitter when they took over the trending topics with their #ldsconf tweets. Today though, you can get a church to tweet you the entire play of The Passion of the Christ. Huzzah!

8) Here's some scary news...in their cultural love for male children linked with their strict limits on the number of children couples can have, couples in China have been aborting female fetuses. This has led to a gender gap that could have them with 32 million more males than females. Wonder what happens when all these boys grow up and want to get married only to find that every single girl in their country is already married.

9) So you're Saddam Hussein. You've watched power be ripped from your grasp by invading Americans. Your people are tearing your statue down. You're being put on trial for war crimes and will eventually be hung. Are you ecstatic or pissed off that the American troops holding you show you the South Park movie on repeat where you are the main villain?

10) Would you rather be an A or a Giant?

That's it folks. Remember that cold milk and warm cookies are good for you!
