This is a movie based on a memoir of the same title. There were two things that attracted me to this movie. First, the trailer which I thought was funny and had funny actors in it and Second, the name sounded a lot like a self help book my friend has been begging me to read: How to win friends and Influence people (Which he hasn’t read).

In 2009 so far there has been nothing really good to watch. In fact the only movie that has dragged me to the theaters recently was Watchmen which I thought was really good. Well you really have to know a lot about the book previously to know what to expect cause otherwise it is going to look really whack.

Well I was 20 minutes early to Watchmen so I got to see some previews, it so happens that all the movies that caught my eye seem to be coming out in May. I guess its gonna be a good month.

It is Wednesday, March 11th 2009. This is a day after I come back from Acapulco, I am back to the real world. No more late night partying, staying out till 6am and other activities that are questionable in a politically correct society.

I wake up 6:45 am (only God knows how). To start my day off, I haggle with AT&T for 45 mins about my phone bill and the call ended with me paying $554 (Long story, ask me when you see me). I then head to class, Note: remember that I have missed two days of school, so I had the WTH expression on my face for the whole day cause I did not understand what the professors where talking about.

So a friend of mine showed me this video a couple weeks ago while we were having one of those intellectual conversations, and I thought it was really cool. I think the idea of the world having a collective memory or something we all share makes sense, or the part where we feel like we have been dreaming for days and it is actually just 5 minutes happens to me all the time. This is an excerpt from a movie “Waking Life” its an amazing movie check it out when you can.

To hit the nail on the head Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona is a beautiful film. This is not a hot film, it is not sexy, it is not cool, it is just beautiful. Beautiful in the way we explain vintage art or one of Mozart’s masterpieces. I say this movie is beautiful because it paints a raw picture of human love and the human situation, something many movies shy away from because of how sensitive and real it is, so we end up getting happily ever after love stories like “How to loose a guy in 10 days“.

After watching countless number of movies such as Matrix, iRobot and Eagle Eye the theme of Robots taking over the world someday is a reoccurring one, one that sometimes looks inevitable. The advances in Artificial Intelligence and the human races perseverance to keep making life simpler for ourselves is only going to drive us to create beings as intelligent or more intelligent than we are, these beings have no choice but to take control of the planet after they see how we are destroying the world and keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again.

So a friend of mine sent me this video below showing most of Kanye’s songs and where he got/stole the beats from. After watching the video and reading the comments, people were calling my man Kanye a swagger jacker. I mean what is that all about. This dude is a top class producer that knows good music, samples it, tweaks it and gives us something we love to hear. The best way to flatter another artist is to use his or her work in yours and in that sense Kanye is a smooth talker. It was striking how many songs he has sampled but what the hell go buy his new album 808’s and Heartbreak. Its some good stuff as my friend Ekeh would say, it is that legal coke.

Ever since I was little I have always wanted to be a Superhero. I am still up for volunteering for science experiments that could potentially give me super powers. Besides the obvious power and leaving people stunned with a WTF! expression, I will like to save good people from bad people.

I have always been a Spiderman fan, that was the first Superhero I was infatuated with, I picked him over stronger superheroes like Superman (Who was my first love until he was stolen) because of his weaknesses, he was more believable, he could die and he needed wit and intelligence mixed with his powers to stay alive so everyday will be an adventure. The Spiderman 3 movie just KILLED all my fantasies when they decided to make Peter Parker into a p@$$y!

I was just in Barnes and Nobles walking around, looking for a programming book that I have wanted to buy for a while now. As I walked through the store and my eye wondered. I looked at all the colorful book covers, I looked at all the titles of each book section, amazed at how every book was arranged so neatly and in order, I stood and stared. I then walked over to a section picked up a book and ran my fingers across a cover and it all came rushing back to me. The reason I have not been in a book store recently, the reason I have not picked up  a book to read in a while. The reason I felt I was in a candy store as soon as I walked into the store. I love books.

I was interviewed by startupsnigeria.com for one of my projects naijalingo.com (The open pidging English dictionary). You should check it out here.
