What's the point?

Excuse the pun, but really just looking at this thing makes me ask what is wrong with the world. What do we need with a 2,716 ft, 160 story tower, a world record? Can't wait to see the world record for tallest building being demolished cause there wasn't enough money in Dubai to keep it afloat. Anyway, the Burj, which started construction in 2004 is an engineering marvel. It was unveiled January 4, 2010 although construction was completed in October. Check the vid for the crazy unveiling ceremony.

Time to make a comeback!!!

It's nearly been 6 months, since my last post, I'm going to be 21 in 19 days, I have a girlfriend now, an iPhone, wow so much has happened since my last post anyway. About to get some sleep but I just wanted to let everyone whoever was a fan or has been following me that good things are coming to [L]ife. I'll see you tomorrow, happy New Year. -l-

Mase "Welcome Back"

Iron Man 2 Pics: Johansson as Black Widow

So I follow Jon Favreau on Twitter and he just gave a link to an article showing an Entertainment Weekly magazine cover showing the stars from his upcoming movie Iron Man 2. On the cover you can see Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, and Mickey Rourke dressed up as Iron Man, Black Widow, and Whiplash respectively. Further into the article is a picture of Johansson in the middle of a scene as the Black Widow. I'm kind of a fanatic when it comes to comic books and superheroes so I may be just a little too excited about this but I can't wait for the movie, it's looking like it's going to be great. Here is the link to the article: "EW Cover" and here's Favreau's Twitter if you want to follow him, his twitter is one of the few worth following. <('.'<)

Google Voice

This seems so revolutionary and simple. Google voice is essentially a universal contact system. Voice gives you a personal phone number, which your friends and family can contact you with. With Voice you can choose where people are sent when they call a specific number given to you by Google. Your calls can be forwarded to your mobile phone, home phone, or your computer. You can set up as many phones as you would like to the system and choose which ones will get forwarded calls. You can even specify certain callers to go to certain phone or even go straight to voicemail. Calls can be screened before you even answer, imagine listening to the caller before you even pick up! You can also record calls, listen to them on your computer or even download voicemails for playback on your computer. The service is only available by invite right now, you can sign up for an inivitation here as well as learn more about this truly awesome service. <('.'<)

The Verdict: Bruno

This movie had me at a loss for words after I saw it, but what else would I have expected from the guy who brought us "Borat?" Anyway, the movie Bruno is an over the top documentary about an outrageously gay Austrian fashion designer who tries to make it big in the states. Just like in his previous movie, Sacha Baron Cohen plays a character who infiltrates our U.S. culture and shows its not so pleasant and intolerant nature in very outrageous ways. You haven seen gay characters try to be funny in movies before but I promise you you have never seen a more homosexual character in a movie than Bruno. But that is the problem with the movie, Bruno is too gay, yes too gay. He is so over the top with his sexuality that it's really not that funny, it's obvious that he is trying to make everyone as uncomfortable as possible. Along with his sexuality the movie in general tries a little bit to hard in my opinion, just take the opening scenes with Bruno and his boyfriend and you'll know what I mean. Don't get me wrong though the movie does have its funny parts including the scene with Bruno and his boyfriend. My favorite scenes include Paula Abdul (yes), a shaman, and a dominatrix at a swingers party, it's just too much. Also, I like how Bruno's character brings to light our American culture and its flaws such as our intolerance of homosexuals and the exploitation of U.S. immigrants.(If you see the movie you will see what I mean, quite literally.) Anyway, I'm not really sure what to suggest about this movie since I feel it is something you have to see for yourself to decide if it was good or not, it's a personal experience. Definitely don't go if you're easily offended, especially when it comes to issues of race, religion, and sexual orientation. I give Bruno 3 out of 5 *'s <('.'<)
