The X Factor USA: Drew Ryniewicz

15 Nov

Drew Ryniewicz is taking the nation by storm. This little 14 year old is dominating the X Factor USA as Simon Cowell‘s shining star. Her voice is incredible and her creative song arrangements are inspiring. This is a girl to watch out for. Whether she wins this competition or not, she will make her mark on America. Look out world. “What a Feeling” is my favorite song from her so far. Her arrangement for that song is just magnificent.

Flea Market Montgomery

This commercial went viral when Ellen DeGeneres aired it on The Ellen Show back in 2006. I’m still trying to figure out why it’s such a big deal. Someone want to clue me in?

Weekend Comedy: Demetri Martin

This weekend’s comedian is Demetri Martin. Demetri is an American comedian who had his own show on Comedy Central called Important Things with Demetri Martin. The show was short lived, but still appreciated by some people. My good friend Sharon was among those people. Demetri is her favorite comedian, so this weekend’s comedy segment is dedicated to her. Please enjoy the following videos.

The Answer: Question 179

2 Nov

Today’s Question: If you went to a movie with a friend and it was lousy, would you leave?

This is a tricky question. If I thought the movie was lousy and I knew that my friends thought the movie was lousy, I could be convinced to leave. In that case, we could probably convince the theater to refund our tickets or something. However, last time I went to a lousy movie, The Green Hornet, with my friends, I had no idea what they thought about the movie until the very end.

We were all hesitant to tell each other that the movie was terrible because we didn’t know if any of us enjoyed it. We all kind of pussyfooted around the subject for a minute before I came out and said I thought the movie was awful and my friends immediately agreed. It was the biggest waste of money ever. Plus, we went to see it in 3D, so we wasted way more money than we should have. To this day, we still talk about how bad the movie was. Wow.

Check out this link to Rotten Tomatoes…even they agree with us.

Today’s Question: When you do something ridiculous, how much does it bother you to have other people notice it and laugh at you?

I do ridiculous things all the time. I am so used to embarrassing myself that it doesn’t really phase me anymore. Everyone does embarrassing things. How do you react when you embarrass yourself?
