killerik - Why the hell not?

My name is Erik. I'm pretty sure that we've met before.

I've been sick for around 2+ weeks. Finally, today, I think that I'm completely better(I had a false not-sick-anymore-alarm a week and a half ago).

Maybe later on I'll tell you how my friends think that I got sick. It's a good story.

I personally think that I got sick by going running in the cold while wearing shorts. Damn you fitness!

Well, I just wanted to let you all(two of you) know that I'm back and ready for some update action. This post doesn't count, but I'll throw you a video that I found over at TV Squad.

You may not want to watch it if you haven't been keeping up with Lost in the past month. It could be spoilerish.

I was going to post a real update today, but I'm sick. So, I've been watching television all day. I just can't sleep. I've seen this first commercial about 200 times today. It's quite horrendous.

The second one, I haven't seen in awhile, but it came up while searching for the first. They're both equally bad.

Hope that you hate these as much as me.

I really like Regina Spektor's music. This isn't the first time that I've posted about her.

Just wanted to give you something interesting to watch.

Also, you can't beat the way that she sings the word "contagious".

In the case that you haven't watched last week's Lost backwards yet(loser), please check out this clip from the "Clockwork Orange" scene.

Possibly a big overall plot clue. Or not. Either way, it's creepy listening to backwards speech.

The sloth is one of my favorite animals. They're seriously awesome. Watch this video to see their greatness for yourself.

From SNL this past Saturday comes one of the few funny segments in recent memory and it's the uncensored version. It's a Holiday music video starring Justin Timberlake and some of the cast members. Check it out.

So, what are you getting your significant other?

This trailer for Halo 3 just aired on Monday Night Football tonight.

Check it out over at TeamXbox.

Now all we have to do is wait till some undisclosed date next year to play it.

Also, you can sign-up for the multiplayer beta, which takes place this spring, here. You'll need a bit of luck to get picked and an Xbox360 to play it.

I've completely fallen for Regina Spektor. Here's the video for her song "Fidelity". It's from her album Begin to Hope. I'm happy that, in this time of cookie-cutter music, there is still a lot of great minds creating new and interesting art.

First off, who knew that everyone's favorite "wacky"/"eccentric" neighbor was a closet racist? Not me, but everyone at the Laugh Factory found out first hand.

WARNING: The content in this video may be offensive and also even more damaging than the "Seinfeld Curse".

Please remember that this is Michael Richards of Seinfeld, not Keith Richards of the living dead fame.

Did you know how expensive batteries are before the tremendous discounts that stores give you? Try over $700,000. Found this over at Digg.

I've captured a screenshot, in the event that Amazon changes the price.

And last, but not a cliché...

I've recently found a pretty sweet band. They're called "Elizabeth and the Catapult". I bought their EP and was impressed by what I heard. If you like women that play the piano and some clever wordplay in your lyrics, check them out. It's a little Fiona Appleish, but I'd say a little less dark. You can go to their website and listen to some of their tracks. I purchased the EP through iTunes because that was the only place that I could find it in stock. I burnt a CD from it and it hasn't left my car's player yet.

Just a quick video that I uploaded. For some reason, watching animated plush toys go at it with each other makes my day. I own the plushporn.com domain(Look for me on the cover of Time next year), and at some point it'll be a full-fledged site with all of the plush-porn you can possibly want(just for humor; none of that "furry" stuff).

That penguin seems really into it. Not so sure about the dog.

I wonder if this ups the 1% of the web that is porn?

I love this video. Wait till the end to see the best thing I've seen on YouTube/the web in awhile.

Now that K-Douche is no longer "all up in" Britney Spears, maybe she'll get her act together and be hot again. She was looking pretty good the other night on Letterman, but she wasn't back to the glory days of the early 2000s. Check her out over at IDontLikeYouInThatWay.com

The Dems are in control of both houses and Britney Spears is maybe hot again. This is like bizarro world.

Everyone in the whole world has seen this video already. So, if you haven't, check it out. It's all album covers taking each other out. Very Terry Gilliam in style.

It's official, Google is buying Youtube. It only cost them $1.65 billion. That could have bought around 27049180.327868852459016393442623 ads on Cockeyed.com. It's also just the right amount of money to buy sex from me for the night. I'm not worth it, but that's what I charge. Delusions of grandeur and all that jazz.

Not a very good use of your money Google. I bet that they already have buyer's remorse.

Here's Weird Al's latest video from his upcoming CD "Straight Outta Lynwood". This video parodies Chamillionaire's "Ridin".

He seems to be back on his game with this CD. So, if you've ever been a fan, check it out.

If you don't read the comments, you missed Dagsy's link to the leaked Microsoft training videos starring Ricky Gervais portraying his character(David Brent) from "The Office"(UK version).

Watch them while you still can.

K-Fed performing live at the Teen Choice Awards:

Why are the people in the crowd cheering for this? Why, God, why?!?? I hope that no one buys this douche's cd when it comes out.

Remember when Britney was the hottest thing out there? Not so much anymore. So sad. K-Fed, you've already ruined at least one person's life, not to mention your kids. Please, please, please go away. I'm begging you. Join the Peace Corps, or something. Just go far away. I'll pitch in a carton of Newports to the "Get K-Fed off of My TV Fund". If anyone has a couple of extra "wife-beaters", or some 40s, they would be a boon to the cause.

Popozao!

Today, while watching The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, I thought about how much time I would waste of my life just watching a 24 hour(a la CNN) comedy news network(also CNN).

I already like to keep up on the latest news, but how much more captivating would it be to get a bit of humor attached to it?

I always hear about how mis/uninformed the American public is in the area of politics. Maybe all they need is a spoonful of sugar(humor) to help the medicine(news) go down. [I don't know why I used the parentheses there to let you know what I was referring to. I think that it was pretty obvious. Sorry for underestimating your intelligence.]{Sorry for those too.}

Once you get a more educated public, you may also get a higher voter turnout. This could potentially nullify the extremes of our two party system from being the ones in power. I do believe that, when it comes down to it, our nation is a majority of moderates. Sure there are issues that people will swing to the right or left, but on most, we see eye to eye.

So, someone get on this straight away. Just don't forget to mail me my royalty checks. This way I can accumulate wealth, gain power, and rule the world. What a nice little plan.

Just some YouTube to round this out...

Don't block my tubes.
