Signs of the Apocolypse (not really)

1. This Avatar phenomenon. To me, there are three aspects of a movie that would make someone want to see it.

An appealing story line or plot:
"In the future, Jake, a paraplegic war veteran, is brought to another planet, Pandora, which is inhabited by the Na'vi, a humanoid race with their own language and culture. Those from Earth find themselves at odds with each other and the local culture" from IMDB.com user Girgio_C.
 And dialogue/audio (also from IMDB):
Neytiri: To become "taronyu", hunter, you must choose your own Ikran and he must also choose you.
Jake Sully: When?
Neytiri: When you are ready

I'm sorry. I just don't get it. I understand why you have done what you have done, James Cameron, and I don't blame you. But please stop now.

2. This pre-uproar concerning the Tim Tebow commercial at the Super Bowl.

3.  Damnit. Look at this fucking picture.
 

4.The Saints won the Super Bowl.

5. The fact that I'm somewhat worried about getting some sort of sanction or fine for posting that picture twice.

6. Huessein.

7. My mom sent me a text message today.

8. I downloaded a Lil Wayne song on iTunes today.

9. Oh wait, what? That a-hole came up with his own language??? OH THEN BY ALL MEANS... GREAT MOVIE! Listen people, I came up with my own language in STAR class in 7th grade. Let's not get carried away.

10. Yes, I came up with my own language. Sort of. It was like two pages long. Enough to throw into a movie and pretend I came up with my own language. To break it down, this is to say some guy came up with his own language (something that takes years for a human to learn) and not only learned this language he made up but had learned and documented it so well that actors or robots or whatever the crap those blue things are could learn it. And they all had plenty of time to do all of this. You can't just throw in a few words that are all similar to
Orvi Ilhlu Itwa Arfo Essi Uyze Uwji Igye Owde
Opde Ulru Axqo Efdi Edca Othnu Awso Esxe Axgha
Uvzhu Ujdu Alhmi Ucche Echche Osvi Iyze Oghsi Ahma
Ophlhi Uphzhi Iphna Enba Ujti Iffi Ufqi Ughdi Icghu
Ibbi Uzhpha Osqe Ipge Ilhbo Icle Ecwi Othpho Ifbe
Oghshu Izhwo Ofka Astu Iqte Iggha Uhzha Itxi Efgu
Orva Oshti Edgu Omko Ivfo Ihwu Enthi
and then just say you made up a language because an actor read them out loud. (list taken from some web site I Googled. I just typed in "alien names" and it randomly generates this crap. http://www.abooks.com/alien/#Cvc).

11. There is a website online that randomly generates alien names for "us to use".

12. I visited and "used" an alien-name-generating website.

13. Carseat confessions.

14. My 2007 New Year's resolution

Alright enough of this, I'm thirsty. Can we all just please get our crap together?
