Another Update: I'm leaving the country!

Hello,

Quick update.

I am leaving the country, so I will not be able to bring the wonderful and weird things that make reading this thing so fun. I will be back in about eight days, but it might be two weeks before I am to post again. Wish me luck with my journey to the higher part of North America. I supposed i will see you all in a fortnight.

As they say on SNL,
Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.

Jake And Amir

Is it just me or has the overall quality of that web show gone down considerably? The whole premise that made it popular in the first place was that Jake was the logical one and Amir was the dumb ass; in the latest episodes, they are taking turns being the dumb ass and sometimes doing it at the same time. This is not the Jake and Amir that I used to love so dearly. I'm not saying that the show is awful now, but it doesn't do what it used to, which was cheer me up, no matter what had me down.  


Lately it seems like only a few are watch worthy, and they are the ones that are reminiscent of the past episodes, where Jake is the logical one and Amir is the dumb ass,  and that is sad. What happened to the quality and the standard that they used to hold so high? I think that they need to reassess where they want this show to go, because I don't see them winning any awards for some of the stuff that they have been putting out lately. It's sad, but true. If you want examples, watch the past six. I didn't laugh out loud once and that was what I used to do constantly and now don't. 


I understand what they were trying to do; maybe show that Amir has been rubbing off on Jake, but the way that they are executing it; just isn't working. They have a fan base, who keeps watching out of loyalty, but one day that will drift away, as the jokes get stupider and stupider. 


Guys, you can do better; I know it. 

The Glee Project's Damian McGinty

I was watching the Glee Project on Oxygen and it is happening again; you remember the post I did about Dia Frampton. I think that there is a bit of a problem with Damian McGinty, According to my research, and the show Glee Project, Mr. McGinty is part of the Celtic Thunder, a five piece Irish singing group, and has been since he was thirteen years old, touring all over the world. The thing that makes him different, besides his fame, is that he is the only one on the show from a different country. 

Does that seem right that he has had success and is on a reality competition series? I’m sure that it’s happened numerous times and I just haven’t caught it, but now that I have been paying attention to the reality show competitions. I’ve seen two different instances of already successful individuals who see it fit for them to look for more fame. I suppose that is something there isn’t a clause saying that the people who try out for these things have to be amateurs. 

If you have been watching, last week’s episode was called Individuality, and for their music video of the week, they did Katy Perry’s Firework, and Damian McGinty was on the bottom three because he was not really coming out of his shell. The only thing that I am happy about is that the show is not judged by America’s votes, because they never pick talent over personality and good looks.

This week’s episode is called Theatricality, named after the Glee episode of the same name, airing at 9/8c for those in the East Coast.  I hope you enjoy. 

Three Car Shopping Websites

It has come the time for me to look for my first car. It's like a right of passage of every teenager and I think I'm ready for two reasons:1) my brother had one sitting in the driveway waiting for him as soon as he got his license, which is the bad part of being the last child, and 2) The only reason why I couldn't find a job was because I didn't have reliable transportation, meaning a car.


The real problem with getting a car for myself is that it is going to be a junker, I know that, I only have about 4 grand to work with, and financing is never a good option for someone who doesn't have a job, so my only choice is to find a "cheap" car. So for all of you who are in the same boat as I am, here are some websites to help you on your quest to finding the perfect cheap car for you.


1. Craigslist.
What's great about Craigslist is that it is a local venue so you don't have to go all over to find the right car, which is especially nice if you don't have reliable transportation. The only thing you have to look out for are scammers. Fraud guide has a nice article outlining the signs that you can look out for. Other than that, normally you can find honest people who will let you bring a mechanic to check out the car before money exchanges hands. There are number of mobile applications for Craigslist, which can make shopping for a car on the go, easy.


2. Cars.com
I found this site while looking through the Orlando Sentinel classifieds website, the great part about it is that it is mostly dealers who post on there. Dealers that are willing to give warranties on really cheap cars. You can be really specific, like with what model, make, and the mileage scale. Cars.com is as local as you want it to be, with a place to enter your zipcode and how far from that zipcode they should search. 


3. Autotrader.com

What is great about this site is that if you are not like me, and are looking to trade your car in, you can get an estimate on how much your car is worth and where around you would give you the best deal. If you are an iPhone user, which I am not, you can access AutoTrader on the go. You can access new cars or certified used ones and directly contact the dealership which the car you are interested comes from. 


So I hope you have a better time looking for a car if you are, I hoped this helped.
