Re: Random Thought Thread (NSFW) Anyone watch Scream Awards 08? Cause it is awesome! Heath Ledger unanimously won two awards without even needing to mention the nominees, they just gave him Best Villain and Best Fantasy Character. Good man. The show started with Anthony Hopkins! They had Stan Lee there. And they ended with the Icon Award to GEORGE FRIGGIN LUCAS! I'm a huge Star Wars fan, so its always eye-watering to see Star Wars get recognized for more and more awards and accolades. he got escorted by about 50 stormstroopers, and was introduced by Sam Jackson.
Re: Random Thought Thread (NSFW) I'm going to apply to Potsdam State University. If I manage to get in there it's going to be difficult deciding whether I should go or not, because it's 6 hours away.
Re: Random Thought Thread (NSFW) well it looks like I'll be losing my job anytime now..........worked in a real estate office for 6 plus years and now a company which was once BOOMING a few years back is now not making any money at all (actually losing it instead). I've witnessed corporate chains of title companies, mortgage offices, etc. close down. It's only logical to think that big time real estate chains will be the next to go.................I haven't officially lost my job yet, but they're cutting back on my hours majorly and laying off some people on Friday. I can't even smile at some people, because in my heart I know they're going to be so dissapointed on Friday when they find out they have no job......................................these are tough times we're living in right now. Only reason why my company kept me is, because I've been here for so long........oh well.................
Re: Random Thought Thread (NSFW) One more reason why Jemele Hill is retarded... http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/dailydime?page=dime-MinnesotaPreview0809 <TABLE class="tablehead widetable" cellSpacing=1 cellPadding=5 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR class=oddrow vAlign=center><TD>Jemele Hill ESPN.com </TD><TD>NORTHWEST: 4 | WEST: 13 Al Jefferson has the potential to be great, but I don't see how this team won't finish with the worst record in the NBA. Lottery pick Corey Brewer needs to develop an offense. </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE> So why the hell did you not place them last in the conference? Or in the division? Fuck.
Re: Random Thought Thread (NSFW) jemele has her moments for me....sometimes she leaves me with the "WTF" look on my face, and at other times she actually has pretty thought provoking commentary (particulary on issues of racism in sports)......overall I'd say she's pretty good for the most part. To be honest as much as the avg. fan rags on ESPN commentators, writers, studio personalities, etc. I find myself agreeing with a lot of what most of them say. YES Stephen A. is a loud mouth, but the majority of the time what he says is accurate YES Skip Bayless can be over the board sometime with his hatred, but I find it to be very entertaining and I even find myself agreeing with many of his viewpoints.
Re: Random Thought Thread (NSFW) Skip Bayless just goes out of his way to discredit 'Prince James' and 'Tony Romeo'. He's just an overly-cynical asshole, IMO. Stephen A I agree with occasionally, but the main reason I make a point to watch him is his rants just fucking kill me sometimes.
Re: Random Thought Thread (NSFW) thanx homie.....I'll be fine though. I just need something to hold me over until I graduate in the spring.......... I agree on Skip.....I love his rants with Screamin A. on First Take...............sometimes I record them and watch them over and over again for the pure entertainment.......
Re: Random Thought Thread (NSFW) Where are you applying to? (and what state are you from?) I like out of state. It kind of sucks not being able to hang out with my high school friends for extended period of times, but that will just make breaks all the more fun.
Re: Random Thought Thread (NSFW) I live in NY, and so far, I'm looking at John Jay, Brooklyn College, Baruch, Hunter, Keene State College, New Paltz, St. Francis, Potsdam, and Buffalo State. Keene is the only college out of state.
Re: Random Thought Thread (NSFW) You should apply to some colleges in the Midwest and South. Visit them, and get a feel for them.
Re: Random Thought Thread (NSFW) lawl, I found it on ESPN's preview page for the Wizards. Don't know, beyond that.
