How Do They Do It?

Psycho psychology
So some crazy guy walked into a Pennsylvania gym yesterday and killed himself after killing three and injuring nine others. He had a blog that outlined his plans. He claimed to not have had a girlfriend in 25 years. No sex since 1990. Loneliness killed this man.
From his blog:
Crazy gunman are always single. Personal relationships aren't optional--they are mandatory to healthy living. The church is wrong to discourage young people from dating. We should date more. If guys had more game, we'd see less crazy activity from them. A guy who is getting some on a regular basis will never walk into a building guns blazing. He'll be too busy washing his sheets from the crazy night before. He won't kill himself if he has three dates lined up for the weekend. Dating coaches should get some stimulus money--they're doing the lord's work.
I said it before, I'll say it again--happiness is having the people you like, like you back.
From his blog:
"I have slept alone for over 20 years. Last time I slept all night with a girlfriend it was 1982. Proof I am a total malfunction. Girls and women don't even give me a second look ANYWHERE. There is something BLATANTLY wrong with me that NO goddam person will tell me what it is."

Lady Gaga, Can't Help You Sister
I love Lady Gaga but I got nothing to say for this outfit. Her outfits were quirky, then avant garde, and now, just beyond belief.

Say It Ain't So - Billy Mays
Instead of a clip of him selling stuff, how about one of him ordering from a drive-through (in his Bentley, life was good).

Summer Movie Jams
Star Trek
The Onion said it best with the headline Trekkies bash new Star Trek film as "Fun, Watchable." This movie was good and I hope the nerds weren't mad because it wasn't technical enough about the Star Trek universe. J.J. Abrams created his own version of the show and characters, and got the screenwriters to pen a classic boy-in-footsteps-of-father theme. That's pretty much all it took to get a blockbuster hit.
On the social side, I wonder how the father-son theme plays with young males. I know a guy who I thought was a prime candidate for that movie when I saw the previews. He's searching for his father in everything he does. He's lost and I feel bad for him sometimes. I knew he'd be drawn to this movie. Just as I suspected, he thinks it's the best movie of the year. I don't think it was the special effects or the great scenery that got him.
I think he was thrilled to sit for an hour and a half and see a character conquer every young man's biggest fear; will he be able to stand in his Dad's shoes and succeed. Many young men are afraid that they won't be fully actualized into the great men that they think they can be, or that their fathers were.
We need stories like Star Trek to remind us to keep fighting and believe that we can be just as good as our Dads, or better. That theme will be used over and over. Hopefully, moviemakers will put it in their movies to help guys figure out their way. But I'm afraid that most movies will use it as a gimmick to lure unhealthy men into the theater. They know how broken guys out there are, and they can capitalize on it. That's the only thing I didn't like about Star Trek. It felt fake. The father-son theme was thrown in there because it hits so deep with young, scared men. They will flock to this movie and not know why they like it so much. It's not the effects, it's not the acting, it's the temporary freedom from fear.

T-Swizzle
Taylor Swift and T-Pain are great in a spoof they did for the CMT Awards.
