My Top 6 Favorite Movies of ALL TIME

Have you ever sat down and tried to figure out your favorite movies? After reading Man on the Moon's top five favorite movies of 2008, I decided to tell you my six most favorite movies of ALL time (because I couldn't decide on five). 

1. Back To The Future 

Back to the future 1, 2, and 3 (I count them all as one since it’s crucial they be watch in sequence.) So much adventure mixed with a little bit of nerd + a whole lot of made up words= great times. 

2. JAWS

 
Not only is this movie a classic, but it's hilarious in parts, for the time it was made it was brilliant. However, the reality is today our graphics have improved so it can be funny to watch the graphics. 

3.  Girls just want to have fun

As in my previous post Dancing From The 80's you know that I love the dance movie of the 80's which is why this movie is amazing. 

4. Under the Tuscan sun

I'm a girl get over it, this is the best chick flick ever, not only do they have a trip with 'Gay and Away' which I think is hilarious, but she does something she would never have done when she was married. Now I've never been married but since being single I have done so many more things that I thought I wouldn't do. 

5. Indiana Jones 

The first three only, the fourth one sucked. I love these movies because I love adventure, I wish I could be Indiana Jones, without the snakes. 

6.  Sister Act, and the second one Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit 

The singing is fantastic, Whoopi is HILARIOUS, and she has to be a nun, I mean what's better?

Youtube Intro

For today's post I have to do a response to "An Anthropological Introduction to YouTube". This is a 55 minute video introducing YouTube from, you guess it, an anthropological perspective. I found this video to be rather exciting and interesting. This video is a focus on YouTube as a community - and it's true, YouTube is the largest community on the internet. It's comprised of videos posted by people just like you and I. This video is a conference held by a university professor and his students. 

This video shares the ups and downs of YouTube, the romances, the fakes, the fun, the celebrity, and the illegal. 

I believe YouTube to be a great place for social networking, a great social journal, and an even better community. There have been love stories emerging from YouTubers, people expressing who they really are, and even some wonderfully wacky people trying to convey how they feel towards the world. 

This video is a great tool in showing how YouTube works, the people behind it, and the way that it's fueled by user generated content. 

The reason I enjoyed this video so much was because it wasn't just some guy standing up in front of people telling them why he likes YouTube but also, the advantages of YouTube. My favorite line was when he was talking about the online community was, once people become individual they need the community to reinforce who they are and what they are doing. It's brilliant the way that it's 100% true, no matter how many people say that they don't care what anyone else thinks, in a way we all need validation. YouTube is a great way to make or break who you are, if you present your self in a certain way and no one likes it then you have the chance to change into someone new. In a way your not really presenting who you are but who the person you want people to think you are. 

The video I analyzed:

Wise Words - Date a Lifeguard

Have you ever done something you thought you wouldn't ever do? 

This weekend I was the victim in the Ontario University Lifeguarding Championships - it was pretty awesome. I was a volunteer for Saturday from 2:30PM-9PM. For the first few hours I was a minor head injury, a lot of teams missed seeing me, and for the second half I was a distressed non-swimmer so I pretty much just had to pretend drown. I volunteered again today (Sunday) from 9:30AM-2:30PM and was again a distressed non-swimmer, this was some pretty exciting stuff. I am not sure who won because I couldn't stay until the end. More to the point of my story I was told about a shirt that I thought was pretty amazing considering I am a lifeguard. The shirt says: 

If your not dating 

a lifeguard raise 

your standards

I just thought I would share these wise words. 

Tie Dye My Life

Remember the days of tie died shirts, pants, bags, and flags? I sported a tie dye wardrobe when I was younger, I thought it was absolutely fantastic! Because of this obsession, and my love for cupcakes, I was inspired to try something new (for me at least). The tie dye cupcake ladies and gents, I have done it and man is it good. Really simple to do and so much fun. 

All you need to do is colour the batter that your using and scoop the different colours, in layers, into the cupcake cup. 

Check out the results,

these are the little darlings cooking

All done baking, fun colours!

mmm yummy icing

Best simple cupcake

These are some tasty treats! 

Breaking Into Song

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be in high school musical?

While sitting in Rocks class today with Single Betty our professor Cam started singing:

Bye bye miss american pie drove the chevy to the levee but the levee was dry... 

He finished the whole song and the class joined in, in what I would like to call a high school musical moment. Betty joined in.. I more or less just sat there humming in my head as I have a fear of public humiliation. 

Great singing Betty! 

Have you ever had a high school musical moment?

Just When You Think No One Is Looking

Have you ever seen someone do something strange? Maybe it's because they thought no one was looking. Today on the bus, I saw a guy fixing his hair in the black screen of his PSP. Not really embarrassing, but really rather strange!

This can also go along with when people pick their nose in the car, or even worse...the sidelines of a football game. 

I know sometime when no one is looking I

-bust out dancing in my kitchen.

-Drink from the orange juice carton

-jump on my bed

- annoy the cat

- drive too fast

- eat the pillsbury ready to bake cookies right out of the fridge

- push my glasses up like Urkle right in the middle

- read my betty crocker cookbook

-read http://singlebetty.blogspot.com <- this one is awesome! 

What do you do when no one is looking?

Manly Men

Have you ever seen a guy carrying a purse? This stunning phenomenon is now refereed to as a murse (man purse).  On my way to class I saw a guy with a murse and I didn't know how to take it. I really prefer men to have a backpack for class, not a purse...

This just looks like a man holding his wife's purse. But by all means men if you want a purse go for it...

I find that men aren't being men anymore, they have decided to do silly things like get peck implants, or pedicures, even manicures. Really men this is just wrong. 

I need a hunting, fishing, hiking, canoeing, manly man, not a man who sits in a spa all day while I am out fishing and canoeing. 

Brad Paisley illustrates my point quite well.. take a listen!
