iPhone Apps I Love: Part III

StumbleUpon

This is an interesting app. First off, it is a complete time waster. Basically, you indicate what you're interested in - movies, science, history, etc. Then, you start "stumbling," which means the app takes you to completely random websites based on your indicates interests. Some of the sites are great, and you will never encounter them otherwise. You are able to "favorite" sites as well, and have "friends" whose favorite sites you could check out.





Tango

Pretty simple: free video calls over the 3G network. No WiFi required.








360 Panorama

Really awesome photography app where you are able to take panoramic photos of your surroundings. You are able to view the panoramic photo's in 3D if you have the app, but you can also save them to your images. Not free, but worth it.

Top 5 Ludacris Guest Spots Of All Time

One of my fav songs right now is the "Fucking You" song by Enrique. Ludacris has a pretty good guest spot on it, which got me thinking to his past guest spots. In many ways, he may be the best guest verse rapper ever. Here's my list.


5. Damn(Remix) - Youngbloodz feat. Lil Jon, Bone Crusher & Ludacris

"And please don't get it twisted I ain't Hollywood yet
I just jumped in that movie to get a big ass check"


0:26-1:11



4. Hot and Wet (Remix) - 112 feat. Ludacris

"Lets mountain climb 'til we reach the peak
The technique will make you sweat
But don't sweat the technique"


0:18-0:56



3. Made You Look (Remix) - Nas feat. Jadakiss & Ludacris

"I was the victim of society, it's 'Cris the menace
With mo' shit out on the streets than evicted tenants"


1:30-2:11



2. One Minute Man - Missy Eliot feat. Trina & Ludacris

"You one minute FOOLS, you wonder why y'all missin
On the back of milk cartons and there's no reward
No regards, close but it's no cigar"


2:27-2:43



1. Yeah - Usher feat. Lil John & Ludacris

"So gimme the rhythm and it'll be off wit their clothes
Then "bend over to the front! and touch your toes!!"


2:27-3:03

Thoughts on Super Bowl XLV

-Christina Aguilera is a really huge idiot for fucking up the national anthem. Like she's on another level now. There is absolutely no excuse. Watch at :58:


-This year's batch of commercials were one of the worst in a very, very long time. From the start every single one sucked so much! And the only reason any of them were decent was because you started to compare them to the other horrible ones! This one is probably my favorite:


-The actual game was alright, I guess. No one play really stands out to me, maybe the INT return for the TD. Roethlisberger really fucked up, which is always great. I guess both teams just have a very boring personality, which lent to it being a pretty boring-seeming game. Definitely NOT a classic, like everyone was predicting it to be, not even close.

-Joe Buck is the worst announcer/analyst ever. And he will be with us for years and years to come. Can we like, just... vote him out or something??

-For me last night's SB was one of those where you don't really eat a dinner, you just munch on apps the whole night. This really messes up the routine of your digestive tract.

-The Black Eyed Peas could have done a much better job. Only thing that saved them for me from absolute failure was Slash and them singing their Dirty Bit song.

The New Year's Prediction Post, Part II

Well here we go, on this, the 36th day of the 2012th year after the birth of our lord an savior, I will transform into NostraDATmus for this post and give you my 100% correct predictions for the 2011 year. Today also marks a most important date, that being my 26.3rd birthday. No presents necessary.

PREDICTIONS:

1. The Green Bay Packers will prevail in tomorrow's Super Bowl, 34-24, thereby giving yours truly a $2000 win in a SB boxes pool that I am participating in. Aaron Rodgers will be named MVP, going 15-23 with 2TDs passing, 1INT and 1TD rushing. In a rage, Ben Roethlisberger will get black out drunk at a Dallas bar afterwards and will once again force himself on an insecure diva in the bathroom. Unfortunately for him, that someone will be Jerry Jones.


2. The New York Knicks will not get Carmelo by the February 24th deadline. But they will make the playoffs nonetheless as a 6 seed, only to be knocked out by the Magic. Thankfully though, Melo will sign a max deal in the offseason giving the 2011-2012 version a starting line-up of Amar'e, Felton, Melo, Fields and Galo (Chandler will leave).


3. The NFL will be locked out until late July. The new CBA will NOT include an 18 game schedule, but WILL include at 17 game schedule.


4. The race for the presidency in 2012 will heat up for the Republicans. The field will include Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney and... Sarah Palin!


5. The 2011 New York Yankees will display a starting rotation of CC, AJ, Phil Hughes, Freddy Garcia and.... Joba Chamberlain! They will finish 1st in the AL and will tare through the playoffs to win their 28th World Championship! Derek Jeter will silence critics as he finishes the year with a .301 BA, 16HRs and another Gold Glove. A-Rod will finish with a .310 BA, 38 HRs and 121 RBIs. CC will win 20 games again, finishing 22-4 with a 3.11 ERA. He will finally win the Cy Young this year. Phil will have an OK year, finishing 15-9 with a 3.50 ERA. AJ will bounce back and finish with a 18-8 record and a 3.89 ERA.


6. Politics will be interesting. Obama's approval rating will continue to rise as the economic situation improves across the country. The unemployment rate will go down to 8.2% by the end of the year. While expectations will be high for the amount that will be done in Congress, not much substantial legislation will be able to achieve compromise among both parties.


7. Dr. Dre's Detox will finally come out!


8. The much anticipated Arrested Development movie will finally begin shooting.


9. The iPhone 5 will be released in June, but with not that many changes. It will be on a 4G network, have extended battery life and a better camera. The iPhone 4 on Verizon will fuck up its network and there will be a lot of complaints.


10. A new social networking venture will erupt and challenge Facebook and Twitter.


11. Osama Bin Laden will finally be caught.
