Broad Sheets = Bored Shits?

I started reading dailies when I was 7 and I liked the idea of browsing through one of the most powerful tools mass media produced. But as my enjoyment for such activity increased, I slowly realized that the quality of newspapers was destined for deterioration. Definitely, there are several explanations to such observation and below is the list that justifies my vivid claim.

10. The swarming advertisements in newspapers are downright sickening. On Sundays, for instance, commercials instantly dominate the pages.

9. It appears that newspaper owners have started to learn the value of Economics. As the demand increases, prices will definitely follow.

8. Balance is an important aspect in delivering facts. Unfortunately, balance is a word that newspapers fail to recognize.

7. Among the different instruments that media hold, broad sheets continue to be hounded by bad marketing. It appears that the trend will continue for an undetermined period.

6. Distribution is always a key to succeed in the newspaper industry. Too bad places where airports are inexistent fail to read the headlines.

5. Most of the articles, based on my observation have become more partisan. Favorable news were auctioned and the highest bidder gets the nod.

4. Incompetent writers have become residents of newspapers. Even simple grammatical errors are left unchecked.

3. Newspapers tend to focus on several useless sections. The number of pages dedicated to entertainment greatly exceeds the pages allocated for more important aspects.

2. The existence of the Internet as a powerful substitute is evident. This easily explain the reasons why newspapers have shifted to the business side of media.

1. Since nothing interesting is happening, it is unimaginable to read any of the dailies. Indeed, it is a waste of effort and money.

Belting the 10th Octave

I have always been attracted to great singers. Looks never matter, but the voice definitely will. There are several artists that I admire because of their vocal prowess. Aside from the power singers, good old fashioned artists with angelic voices will fit in my list.

10. Carrie Underwood..... She looks like Reese Witherspoon and a classic country girl. Behind those looks, her voice melts my heart.

9. Norah Jones..... Her songs are masterpieces. The best thing about her is that she can cure my deficiency in sleeping.

8. Shania Twain..... The classic version of beauty with a voice. I like her when she wears sexy clothes and sing those country songs.

7. Kelly Clarkson..... America's darling can definitely sing. After winning the inaugural season of American Idol, she vindicated most of the people who voted for her.

6. Barbra Streisand..... Classic music and tunes are like flowers that eternally bloom. Indeed, Barbra is an all-around performer.

5. Celine Dion..... Voice power coupled with control is her main forte. She has mesmerized millions of hearts and those include mine.

4. Beyonce Knowles..... I have to say that she is the most complete artist aside Barbra Streisand. I have always wished that I am Jay-Z.

3. Charlotte Church..... This is where the angelic category falls in place. At the tender age of 13 she has already rocked my world.

2. Whitney Houston..... Her current problems will never overshadow the accomplishments she had made. Also, she is probably the best singer ever.

1. Christina Aguilera..... The most technically gifted singer alive. When she sings, life becomes profound and meaningful. Fascinating!

I realized that I made several omissions in my list. In this post, however, it is always my call. Period!

Nicks-10-Monickers

Although my name is unique is sucks big time. I had always wished my name was different, unfortunately its impossible (RA 9255 stinks). Through the years of immersing myself in front of the television, I have heard millions of nicknames. Perhaps I can list some of my favorites and let's see what's yours.

10. The Genetic Jackhammer..... This is Vince McMahon's creation and one of the finest in the business. This is superior complex at its best.

9. The Great Cornholio..... Beavis maybe dumb, but his alter ego is one of the coolest. Just add some caffeine, chocolate, and cola and your world will be rocked.

8. The Franchise..... For a lame duck like Steve Francis, this brand is definitely inappropriate. The name still rocks though and deserves to be on this list.

7. The Rattlesnake..... This post will not be complete without Stone Cold. The name speaks for the baddest wrestler ever.

6. The Excellence of Execution..... If you want technical perfection, then Bret Hart is your man. I have been a fan ever since and ranks him as one of the best.

5. The Caped Crusader..... It appears that Batman's nickname will rarely suggest super powers. Don't be fooled because he is more super that the others.

4. The Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment..... Do you smell what The Rock is cooking. This is indeed a captivating catchphrase.

3. The Baby Face Assassin..... Despite his loss to Marquez, Marco Antonio Barrera still remains supreme. More important, his monicker will forever be cool.

2. His Airness..... There is no doubt that Michael Jordan deserves royalty. Add some creativity and style and the Airness was born.

1. The Fat Guy with no Money.....This is my all time favorite. After all, the best nickname has to fit you perfectly.

Tell me your name and I will tell you who you are. Sweet!

Jupiter ten-timed......

I am a non-believer of destiny.... But I am certain that planets affect my life. Taking a routine online quiz, I found out that Jupiter inspire me more than Pluto... Well Pluto is gone, but Jupiter is here to stay.

Actually, the wheel of fortune was my card, given any preference, Jupiter seems to fit my personality....

Come to think of it.... I like two elements that Jupiter conforms to: balance and luck... Sweet!

The Two-timer Meets His Alter-ego

After a short quiz, I just realized that I am Batman.....

The results of the quiz suggest that my inclination to the following have led to such conclusion:

• I am dark
• I love gadgets
• I am willing to help the oppressed

This is cool since Batman is the best of them all. Even without the super powers, he proved that money and brains can take you to places.

10talizing Beauty

I have always appreciated beauty within and beyond my sight. Perhaps it is a common thing for men to list their all-time most beautiful women. Indeed, it is a pleasure on my part to write something about the wonders walking on God's green earth. Although I have written several names in my pad, my utmost goal is to create that one perfect woman who will embody all the attitudes I prefer.

10. Body..... In this category, choosing Jennifer Lopez is moot and academic. I have always dreamed of touching her butt. It's priceless!

9. Face..... Some prefer the angelic and weird choices include exotic. But I have been a fan of assassins and Natalie Portman fits such description.

8. Smile..... This facet is so important to me. There are several good smiles out there, but I have to single out Cameron Diaz' heart sweeping smile.

7. Acting..... I have always been a fan of Charlize Theron. Despite the Oscar trophy, she is still underrated as an actress.

6. Singing..... Aside from the beauty from the outside, the women I am designing has to be a good singer. Well, Christina Aguilera is not your average singer.

5. Wealth..... If there is anything good about Paris Hilton, it is her wealth. She is filthy rich and that makes her part of my plans. This is amazing!

4. Stance..... When you can talk the talk, you also have to walk the walk. Even when walking or standing still, beauty has to emanate. Is Cindy Crawford in the house?

3. Attitude..... Angelina Jolie once said that movie producers are paying her millions for a nonsense job. She is frank isn't she?

2. Humility..... Beauty and humility are like oil and water. Kate Winslett, however, found a way to mix both.

1. Overall Beauty..... There is no doubt that Princess Diana owns this title. No one will argue with this choice I guess.

I know different people have varied perceptions on beauty. Although my choices are debatable, some of the names are hard to erase. Beauty is indeed eternal when appreciated.

Ten Sources of Laughter

Laughter is a way of life. It is hard to imagine a world without people breaking their gums just to express feelings of enjoyment. I myself have encountered several instances when I have to laugh out loud. I want to share some of these situations and I hope these make sense.

10. Beverly Hills Ninja..... May the soul of this film's main star rest in peace. The movie was hilarious and deserves to be included in this list.

9. Two-and-a-half Man..... I have been an avid fan of this sitcom. It reminds me of the way we communicate at home and the communication creates the laughter.

8. Balakubak..... This is a segment in the show Nuts Entertainment. It is strangely funny and the lines are creatively delivered.

7. Jim Carey..... After 8 years of watching him, I finally realized that he is Canadian. Forget about the citizenship, this guy is a certified hit.

6. South Park..... I always love the Merry F*****G Christmas song and Kyle's Mom is a B***c. The animation stinks, but the the laughter is unlimited.

5. Pugad Baboy..... Pol Medina, Jr. is a genius with his caricatures and satire. Aside from the jokes, it promotes social awareness.

4. Dwayne Johnson..... His monologues are classic and the way he trash talks makes me giggle so hard. If you smell what The Rock is cooking.

3. Three Stooges..... Dumb shows are really funny and the trio of misfits added several twists to their rackets. As what Curly often says, "I am a victim of a circumstance."

2. SNL..... The battle between between Alex Trebek and Sean Connery in Celebrity Jeopardy is unbeatable. This show is sweet.

1. Beavis and Butthead..... The immortal dumb asses have really swept my funny bones away. Their lines are incomparable and their innuendos will always be remembered.

If you think laughter is the best medicine, then a suggest to take a daily dose of these. You will get you money's worth and that's a guarantee.
