in the year 2000... in the year TWO THOUSAND!

buzzfeed feeds us a 1985 issue of ebony, where they predict what stars will look like in 2000.

in ebony's defense, it's not like anyone could have predicted what would actually happen. that might be more frightening than what actually happened.

[ much respect, michael, but cmon ]

my parents joined facebook.

no. no. thankfully not MY parents. but some people's parents. you know who they are. but just in case you don't, look here and be afraid.

lessons from he-man

while we're on the topic, why not. he-man was my favorite cartoon growing up.

lessons from GI JOE

i went to a midnight showing of harry potter last night. first off, it was incredible. i was very, very pleased, to say the least.

but since everyone is going to be talking about THAT, i decided to talk about this: the upcoming GI JOE movie. now, i have no faith in michael bay, so i doubt this is going to be any kind of cinematic masterpiece. but it does make me nostalgic for the good ol' life lessons that could be summed up in a matter of seconds, and tied up with the neatest bow, "knowing is half the battle."

if you visit this website, you can see the complete catalog of joe lessons (unfortunately, no video, but if i find a video repository, i will post it too)

this is by far my favorite piece of advice:

Scarlett- You can learn to water ski if you keep trying.

haha. also, let's not forget about this joe. click on his picture to re-remember his unfortunate name.

ULTIMATE DANCE PARTY 1997

i can't believe i ever forgot about this cd. it was my senior year of high school and constantly in my little sony boombox. 

my friends and i were reminiscing about this compilation, because it's seriously the best compilation ever. this was way before "now that's what i call music, even if no one else would." timeless classics include "be my lover," by la bouche, "another night" by the real mccoy, and yes... the macarena. 

enjoy.
