Top 10 Movie Heels #9: Alonzo Harris


















A lot of people have argued that Denzel should not have won his Oscar for his role in "Training Day" but for previous roles. Maybe that is true, but after being so used to Denzel playing the good guy, it was pretty sweet to see him act like a complete fucking asshole cop. Alonzo did not show an ounce of remorse or integrity throughout the entire film, and is one of the most hateable characters I have ever seen in a movie. He did drugs, extorted money for arrest warrants, and screamed out great lines including the famous "King Kong aint got shit on me!" Also factor in Denzel was born and raised in my home town Mt. Vernon, NY and Alonzo was an easy pick for my top 10.

Top 10 Movie Heels #10 Patrick Bateman

















"You're a fucking ugly bitch. I want to stab you to death, and then play around with your blood."

This quote pretty much sums up the greatness that is "American Psycho" main character, Patrick Bateman. It is tough for me to put him at number 10, but I have to clear up my idea of a heel here. Bateman is the sickest of the heels on the list, but to be a great heel is to be a great asshole. On a side note, Patrick Bateman is such a lovable heel to me that I have named my fantasy football teams after him for the past 7 years. His dialogue about Genesis and Phil Collins is some of the funniest and most disturbing dialogue in movie history, and his senseless cruel killing makes him sweet in my book. Remember "Don't just stare at it, eat it." You have to love Patrick Bateman.

Windows 7


















I am as excited to download this Beta as one could be for an OS I suppose.I hope this is what is promised, so far I have heard good things. There are a lot of Windows haters out there, but personally I liked Vista, I just thought it was an unreasonably heavy Operating System. Microsoft needs to establish themselves as innovators in computing once again. With Google and dumb Apple making huge strides last year, I hope they are finally going to make a big mark. My review should be here in a few days :)

You know what would be disgusting?



Imagine if you had a piece of paper towel that never ripped, and you constantly cleaned up spills and various debris and had to try to clean the paper towel every time. That would be pretty gross and for just $19.99 this can be a reality for you if you act now.

Last week I was cashing in on a Bed Bath and Beyond gift card I received from my mother, and I came across the ShamWow. I had extra money on the card, and the commercial seemed like it would be magical so I bought the ShamWow. Now, I did expect the ShamWow to be a little bit of a let down, I have heard it wasn't that great, but what I did not expect was to own the worst product ever. I defy you to buy something worse.

What I found to be awesome about the commercial was that the guy just did all this crazy cleaning and rung out the ShamWow and bam all the shit was gone like magic! In real life, debris sticks to the ShamWow as if there is some magical dust magnet ingrained into the fibers. It is nearly impossible to clean, and I got to the point where I just threw it out in a fit of rage rather than even try to clean anything any longer. Oh also, if you gently rest the towel on a spill it doesn't suck it up like a vacuum so I am not sure how that isn't false advertising.

On the surface, a reusable substitute for paper towel sounded cool, but in reality why would you want this? Also on the commercial, the guy says you are going to spend $20 on paper towel a month anyway! Who is he trying to sell the ShamWow to, a car wash? Currently the status of the ShamWow in my home is, one was thrown out and one is being used as a door mat. Way to go ShamWow for creating the worst product ever and tricking me into buying it with your devilishly convincing commercials.

Citi Field Dream

The other night I was talking to some friends about how I never remember dreams. It has been at least 6 months since I remembered my last dream, well last night I finally remembered a bizarre one. 

Somehow I received tickets to opening day at Citi Field, and what a unique stadium it was. When you get off the 7 Train you are now strapped into a roller coaster harness. You ride the roller coaster track into the stadium and into the position of where your seat is. That's right, Citi field has replaced traditional baseball seats with an orange roller coaster track. 

Seemingly there was a fade out in my dream because the next thing I remember I was out of my harness and on field level. At this point I then realized the flaw in the Mets plan. Once you get up to use the bathroom there is no way to get back to your roller coaster seat! Well this made perfectly logical sense in my dream, but as an after thought I am not sure how I got down either. 

I then figured I should go to the bathroom on ground level. Once I got into the bathroom a guy in a business suit was urinating and decided to throw the urinal water at me. I dodged him and then ran to the sink and swatted the sink water at him and then ran away. When I got outside he somehow had a water bottle and I tried to hide, and then threw the bottle of water at me. He got me good, and I had a feeling of anger but shook his hand anyway. I then woke up.

The Slap heard around the world

About a month ago I was out at a bar with my friends, and the lovable Dennis made a slap bet with my friend Ryan. It was some  ridiculous bet with the odds stacked way in Ryan's favor so you would think Dennis was drunk, but no not a drop of alcohol. Since Ryan loves to ring in the New Year in style and class he refrained from cashing in at the bar and saved the spoils for New Years. 


Ok, so being slapped in the face in my opinion has to be one of the worst things that could ever happen to a person. I have been punched in the face by Ryan without getting angry, but I am not sure I could take part in a slap bet. I feel like if I was slapped in the face by another man, I would not even be able to process the situation and would just attack. So the question of the day, would you rather be punched in the face hard or bitch slapped?
