For e:tinypliny and Christmas Music
Here is the non mockery and Him singing for non comedy he is pretty good..... Again this is from youtube not SNL's site since I don't know how to share from there on (e:strip).....
Yes Sometimes Dealing with this holiday is tough But I love the music... Now I know some people might not like this guy and I'm not a huge fan but these two songs are great... Wonder if I could handle an entire Album?
Now one thing is I don't want to just go all over youtube and put up like 2hrs of Christmas music..... For examples... I think one reason for liking Christmas music is that many of the songs are a sound you only hear at Christmas.... What I mean is if you as an example of those two videos how often do you see them play violins on the radio... Now granted some songs change cause every time someone covers them they put their flavor on it..... Yes there are some songs that aren't about Christmas but get put into that..... To me the songs aren't ever really about buying stuff it is all about being with friends or family or love and those types of things?
As an example thought I would use Baby It's cold outside Just the dean Martin Version... The Sexuality in this song is so strong... Now of course it is from a different era... But has nothing to do with Christmas but it is the only time you hear it..... Yes love the Glee version from the show but gotta go with the original....

All I Want For Chirstmas!?EDIT
Well Slight very slight Edit I thought Well it is kinda about the holiday So I changed the Category to Holiday also after I wrote this I watched SNL that even though all of it wasn't funny was the Christmas Episode? So that kinda changed how I was feeling at the time.... Plus I'm sure my Body's Metabolism lately has been on mega high so that never helps....
So First I'm sorry but Christmas gets here way to fast not really enough pay checks or time to get stuff.... This seems to be like a recent thing of time moving that way So I say Black Friday needs to be ended.... Now I get day after thanksgiving everyone is off so why not shop? Sure ... But see when it is an event it kinda says don't shop till then... So I say lets also make thanksgiving happen one week earlier.... I mean it isn't like we are celebrating a real day... It is ok the guys with guns and Horses who thought they where in spain now can't speak with the people here so how do they make it through winter..... So then once they learn everything the people with the horses and guns take the place over with lots of blood shed and the some would say greatest country in the world comes to be.... So then we see what we are thankful for....
So won't get into the debate about what Christmas is about... Is it Gifts or god or both or some Pegan thing or worshiping the dead or about how Jews killed Jesus or any of that stuff or how ever time you go shopping you should buy a gift for a Charity as well... None of that...
Now what I want for Christmas.... Honestly don't know... Yeah there are movies and CDs that I won't have time to watch and other things that are way to costly to even think about asking for.... See once you start working there becomes a point where I don't know it isn't that you just don't care... It is that like when you can and decide not to or to get something it kinda kills a lot of the magic?
So not to be a downer but what I want is...... Things like world peace are silly really cause it will never happen and even if it did would that mean you couldn't have violent movies and games and sports........
To be in a nice Fancy Apartment watching The Nightmare Before Christmas on a huge screen and maybe some other movies... With lots of lovely (and personalities to match no bitches or people who think they are queen) Tattooed ladies (burlesque girls perhaps ) and non to have fun drugs and watch movies and great crazy and nothing weird after words... Is that to much to ask?

Is Miller Light Homophobic?
Now the first ones I post are not the ones that might be thought of that way..... I liked them cause they where funny had hot Women in them and often tied into fashion but maybe a bit of the view could be in them?
Ok I admit I have never seen this Man Up with the Scarf before... But see it talks about how one needs to be a man... Aka Don't wear a scarf but again they mention it is 70 out so......
Yes Crap quality I admit but as funny it was when I once saw it one does notice that she breaks on his manillyness... Now I think saying that is like when you call some one bitch, Pussy, Girl, it is kinda the equal of calling them queer but that is just mean or maybe when guys call each other fags it is being used like that?
This one Is only mention the put down once... Now that being said that is what guys do we break balls and that is part of the fun.....
However before I get to far into this... I need to mention that I have one problem with the Miller Lite ads.... That is that If you finish this or watch and of the ads or know what they are then you will know that they have some unmanly things.... I gotta say sorry but drinking lite beer is one of them.... Have a beer with that Burger you pussy.... Or maybe just get Vodka Mixed with something or a Mike's light Beer gross.....
The one That I find the best... See to me this one isn't like the rest it is about picking on those people who think they are cool and to me it is funny....
So Dragons are great but not on clothes at a bar....
Now for the ones that really break on the manliness (how ever you spell it not being a good speller is part of being a real man...[in deep raspy voice])
-That is right even the Women Bag on this dude.........
Now here is where I pick on them... If you go to the mountains You Bring Coors not that light stuff the stuff in the Yellow Cans or be a real man and grab a Bottle of something Like Jack Daniels ok maybe that is really just a rock star thing......
New To Me and The Strawberry Stuff ? Should have been used on those girls......
Screaming Like a Little Girl now they don't say it but they sure imply it... Now here is my thought and just a thought... That a lot of the anti homo stuff guys say to each other isn't that they hate gays but some of it is ? But that a strong portion of that is really from Gender Roles... Now over time a lot of those have changed.... But there is still a way a women and a man are "Supposed" to act and when they don't that is when other terms get used?
I admit pretty Funny ad... But on the flip side This guy gets outed on a plane and who are those people? Again one could make the case your on a flight Real mean drink Hard Liquor not that pussy light beer shit... Bet "The most Interesting Man In The world" (two great local parodies on him by the way) would mock them out.......
There might be more that I haven't seen or didn't see on Youtube but I think the point is made.... Again I'm not saying that they are homophobic at all... I'm more asking are they because ask what a man is or isn't? I think I also need to assuming anyone is still reading this say what the most Racist Ad I've ever seen is....... All The Trix adds.....
The Tag line is "Silly rabbit Tricks Are for Kids"..... See this ads teaches or at least copies the idea of Racism... See they love the rabbit like the would a friend or a slave or Live In nanny.... But see they are a rabbit they aren't the same... There are certain things they just can't have because they are a rabbit...... There is even a shirt I said that modernized it a bit the wording I don't remember exactly but "Silly Fagot Dicks are for Chicks"... It is the same mentality. But who Am I , I don't think that there is anything wrong with like Ms. Butterworth or anything like that... Now I don't remember the ads but they are just an Image that tells us (wait maybe it is racist now on my 2nd though) ok this Black women is a good cook so this will be good?

Food For e:tinypliny
So this article was in the Buffalo News the other day.... I can admit that I don't post stories to often on here anymore.... Now part of the reason is that reading the paper is mostly an at work thing and then it takes like 2 or 3 clicks to share them.... And one shouldn't really be on (e:strip) at work so even on ones break..... Now that being said I wonder if the addiction part of this has to do with Habit? Humans love their habits.... Go to a movie there has to be Popcorn and drink other wise the movie blows.... Football = Food and drinks... There is a Habit part of addiction that is very strong... I would assume that someone who had a gambling problem might not know what to do with them selves during sports.... Some times when people stop smoking their fingers don't know what to do.... In any event an interesting article....
That being said though I do think that food can be addictive and would say I mostly agree with this... At the least isn't it odd that Chips and salty and so are Pretzels and then one needs something to drink....
New evidence suggests fatty foods are as addictive as drugs
By Robert Langreth and Duane D. Stanford
BLOOMBERG NEWS
Published:
December 11, 2011, 12:00 AM
Updated: December 11, 2011, 6:56 AM
Cupcakes may be addictive, just like cocaine. A growing body of medical research at leading universities and government laboratories suggests that processed foods and sugary drinks aren’t simply unhealthy. They can hijack the brain in ways that resemble addictions to cocaine, nicotine and other drugs.
“The data is so overwhelming the field has to accept it,†said Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse. “We are finding tremendous overlap between drugs in the brain and food in the brain.â€
The idea that food may be addictive was barely on scientists’ radar a decade ago. Now the field is heating up. Lab studies have found sugary drinks and fatty foods can produce addictive behavior in animals. Brain scans of obese people and compulsive eaters, meanwhile, reveal disturbances in brain reward circuits similar to those experienced by drug abusers.
As the evidence expands, the science of addiction could become a game-changer for the $1 trillion food and beverage industries. If fatty foods and snacks and drinks sweetened with sugar and high fructose corn syrup are proven to be addictive, food companies may face the most drawn-out consumer safety battle since the anti-smoking movement took on the tobacco industry.
“This could change the legal landscape,†said Kelly Brownell, director of Yale University’s Rudd Center for Food Policy&Obesity and a proponent of anti-obesity regulation. “People knew for a long time cigarettes were killing people, but it was only later they learned about nicotine and the intentional manipulation of it.â€
Food company executives and lobbyists are quick to counter that nothing has been proven, that nothing is wrong with what Pepsi- Co Chief Executive Officer Indra Nooyi calls “fun-for-you†foods, if eaten in moderation. In fact, the companies say they’re making big strides toward offering consumers a wide range of healthier snacks.
No one disputes that obesity is a fast-growing global problem. In the United States, a third of adults and 17 percent of teens and children are obese. A 2009 study of 900,000 people, published in the Lancet, found that moderate obesity reduces life expectancy by two to four years, while severe obesity shortens life expectancy by as much as 10 years.
Sugars and fats have always been present in the human diet and our bodies are programmed to crave them. What has changed is modern processing that creates food with concentrated levels of sugars, unhealthy fats and refined flour, without redeeming levels of fiber or nutrients. Consumption of large quantities of those processed foods may be changing the way the brain is wired.
Those changes look a lot like addiction to some experts. Addiction “is a loaded term, but there are aspects of the modern diet that can elicit behavior that resembles addiction,†said David Ludwig, a Harvard researcher and director of the New Balance Foundation Obesity Prevention Center at Children’s Hospital Boston. Highly processed foods may cause rapid spikes and declines in blood sugar, increasing cravings, his research has found.
Constant stimulation with tasty, calorie-laden foods may desensitize the brain’s circuitry, leading people to consume more junk food to maintain a constant state of pleasure.
In one 2010 study, scientists at Scripps Research Institute in Jupiter, Fla., fed rats an array of fatty and sugary products including bacon, pound cake, cheesecake and cake frosting. The study measured activity in regions of the brain involved in registering reward and pleasure through electrodes implanted in the rats.
The rats that had access to these foods for one hour a day started binge eating, even when more nutritious food was available all day long. Other groups of rats that had access to the sweets and fatty foods for 18 to 23 hours per day became obese, Paul Kenny, the Scripps scientist heading the study, wrote in the journal Nature Neuroscience. The results produced the same brain pattern that occurs with escalating intake of cocaine, he wrote.
Damage to the brain’s reward centers may occur when people eat excessive quantities of food. In one 2010 study conducted by researchers at the University of Texas in Austin and the Oregon Research Institute, 26 overweight women were given magnetic resonance imaging scans as they got sips of a milkshake made with ice cream and chocolate syrup. The women got repeat MRI scans six months later. Those who had gained weight showed reduced activity in the striatum, a region of the brain that registers reward, when they sipped milkshakes, according to the study, published in the Journal of Neuroscience.

The Adam's Family
I thought it was great.... Now to be honest I thought it was a bit of a chance since the NY crowd didn't like it so much but from what I read it had been changed up.... There was for sure a lot of adult comedy in it and it was great... Yes there where a couple parts that where just silly... But come on it is a musical based on the Adam's Family gotta expect that I guess..... Now of course everyone has a different sense of funny... I think Allen Gregory is awful and The Cleveland Show is funny and I'm sure there are people who find it the other way around... My point is just cause I find something funny others who where there might not have.... They might not have liked that their kid heard certain jokes.... I can't say I just thought it was very good...
I was off to the left side In either the 4th row or the first not in the Lodge depending on how you count and all the effects where great from my seat... But also they did something in the end where (can't speak for those down up close) a Standing Ovation didn't really work... They kinda did like a dance it was pretty cool... Then they talked to the viewers.... Hope that isn't giving to much away.... Just my opinion was that Yes everyone was great but that Wens-day was the best singer.... But maybe that was just really who's voice I liked best (example of why I don't watch American Idol).... Or it could just be that her songs fit the kinda over the top hold things and big voice of musicals the most?
I would tell people to go.... You know what go and skip the bills game you will have a much better time....

Amazing Grace?
So I hate to admit this but on Facebook/One of the news pages I saw a story (didn't follow the link) about some kid on the west side getting hit and killed by some kind of school bus.... My first thought was how ironic.... Kinda like if someone died in a pool on a cruise ship in the ocean... For some reason all I could think of was that it was Ironic.... Now today in tops I saw the front of a paper and it had a picture of the kid.... I thought how sad it was a little Asian kid... Now granted I can't pick up the paper and read the story in the middle of tops and I didn't go to the website and look into the story.... But what this tells me is that and this might be a jump but that everyone has Hate, Anger and rage in them.... We all claim we are good and great... But lets face it we all judge people and look down on them.... See what got me I think upset and why I thought it was Ironic is that I (and everyone) have stereotypes of others.... Now that doesn't mean we want to join the Klan.. It doesn't even mean we treat others differently.... But some place we have them and may not even know it.... See when this was some little kid of some kind of family well who cares really.... But now when this kid is from some hard working family who moved here so an evil army doesn't kill them then it is sad....
Now when I was done I went to catch the bus and some "Ghetto" I assume white lady is yelling at someone driving.... Um Stupid the car had the green light....ARGh... Oh yeah in tops some dude was playing his Music... What! Wish I had some speakers I would have loved to blast Some Devil loving Church burning Down Norse Black Metal right back at him.... Then Go have some respect now you know what it feels like.......
If anyone can follow what I'm ram-belling about good luck ..... Ok back to my story as waiting for the bus. There is a church and Amazing Grace starts playing.... Now Of course there aren't words to church bells.... But to me that song is about how those that are lost can turn to faith and no longer be lost.... I wish Faith really worked like that.... Wouldn't that be cool.... Well maybe if you turn to faith and leave out the churches then maybe it would? Now a great writer would say that once the song Ended the bus showed up think a Christmas song played next and a Funeral went past...
Sometimes I do think and this song made me think of it.... Or maybe it was the guy that got honked at for not knowing you don't cross when the cars coming at you have the green... Yes pedestrians have the right of way but only when it is lawful Jackass..... That maybe just maybe Humanity should just start over... Maybe another Plague and Like a great flood or what ever took out the Dinosaurs and let what ever form the new humans are if they can figure out how to read what we wrote learn from it and not be us....
Animals (yes we are an animal ) kill mostly to eat and survive.... For the people that don't eat animals got some bad news if you don't eat them cause something was killed how about those fruits and grains oh and worse yet those plants that died for your clothes and any thing leather, or Suede ! To live means something else must die.... Now most of us don't do that anymore... Yes some people hunt and some people work in Slaughter houses or even as a butcher..... But even these people don't live directly and only on what they kill.... I think that Humans have this instinct on how to kill..... I think that since we don't kill to live any more that is why we have so much hate and disgust and thinking we are better then others.... I think there is the natural thing of killing and since we can't and don't do it things build up.... Also if say you need to go out and say shoot a buffalo or something so you and your family or maybe even friends can eat ..... The only thing you are going to care about is things that interrupt that.. As an example Indians getting drunk on fire water as they prey for a good hunt as long as you can sleep you won't care cause you have to hunt in the morning.... Now one of your friends Blaring Metallica as you want to sleep or when hunting and it scares off Squirrels you want to shoot out of trees from your window then maybe you try human that night... HA....
Is there a point eh not really......
Now all that being said I did see a pretty cool action movie today that kinda fits in Immortals.... I Liked it... Didn't think it is as good as say Spartacus is .... But then again it doesn't have orgies, cocks the size of my arm ;), or the sexuality.. .... Didn't like it as much as The 300.... But it was a bit different as in it had gods and Oracles... Then say the 300.... Some of the battle where amazing.... Now there where parts where I could feel as if I was in the maze and the way some of the bodies floated in battle scenes was amazing.... Now I can never tell about the 3D ..... I think part of that is the way movies are filmed and the way stories go is you follow the action it doesn't come towards you cause once they got to you where would they go? Wouldn't they hit the cameras? That aside Yes it is a movie about gods and Immortals and was pretty good but also fit in with the rest of my day....
Maybe the holiday season is just weighing on me a bit I don't know.... I guess I would kinda like it if there was a push instead of black friday of come here save say $30 and donate that money you save to the Salvation Army on your way out... Or at a toy store it would be PS3 save $100 instantly when you donate $30 to toys for tots.... Or say maybe Wegmans : Donate $20 to WNY foodbank and get a free apple strudel pie and Half Gallon of Perry's ice cream or something.... Again some kind of movement where people mention listen when you shop here and buy stuff for mom or what ever take the last thing you buy or even just that thing you aren't sure if she will like and donate it.......
