The Official 2008 Wrap-up

I guess in a way this is the little blog that could…I’ve had an insane amount of views in 10 mos., lots of comments and nice words and I just wanted to thank everyone who was interested enough to check out southiejustinjustinsouth. Happy Holidays! Don’t get too drunk. Well, at least not as drunk as Heidi. Pratt.

Thanks for an awesome year.

Would the next president please stand up?

I cannot go through the rest of the day without saying something. The fact that Barack Obama won the presidential election after months of bad, slandering campaigns from the opposing party, thousands of preposterously racist, empty and skeptical comments, and basically all the odds against him is incredible. To think that maybe for a change we can stand behind someone literate, well-composed, smart and inspirational is a refreshing change of pace. Not to be led by a moron, not to be at war forever, not to be making terrible decisions? We could even be considered a credible and serious nation.

I think this unavoidably massive feeling of a weight being lifting off every American’s chest; the feeling of unity; the feeling of better things to come is so alive in the streets of small towns and metropolis cities today.

Not only as a young individual, but as an individual, period, I am proud of what Obama has acheived and trust that this is only the beginning of a turn-around.

If you read this and feel strongly about the election please leave a comment and explain in a few words from your point of view what this day means to you.

Last-Minute Spoon-fed Lines For a Vote

Who thinks McCain’s “sad grandpa” strategy will win him any more votes before tomorrow?

The Phelps Fish

In a nutshell, Michael Phelps is breaking all previous Olympic records for number of medals per individual, best time, etc. and has been bombarded by cameras watching his every move; every breath and apparently we even care what he eats, when he sleeps and how often he trains. Whether that is to create miniature Phelps-clones or not we won’t know for a number of years. Last night, one announcer explained how he made all the other swimmers look like boys, though they are not boys; in fact they are the best swimmers in the world, but that is they way he makes them look – like boys. So merely watching one person swim instantly removes intellegent comments from the human mind.

All the Finales

The Season Finales started when Whitney won this cycle of ANTM. It was very refreshing for a “plus-sized” girl to not only be taken seriously, but to win.

SNL had a very funny American Red Cross CPR skit where Andy Samberg was killed in the process…once again. He’s their favorite person to kill on the show. Usher came in and said something along the lines of “CPR can be fun but it can kill someone.” *thumbs-up*

Desperate Housewives ended with Katherine shooting her ex, Bratty Scavo Child being sent off to live with grandma and grandpa, Gaby and Carlos’ drug dealer tenant also getting shot, Susan naming her baby Meenard (or Meynard or Meinerd or however that ridiculous name is spelled), and Bree…Nah, Bree was rather boring. They had a short flash-forward in the last five minutes showing Susan with yet another man, Lynette’s twins getting into more trouble, Bree looking as washed-out as a live corpse, and Gaby being a dumpy “mommy”. Good grief.

Gossip Girl ended with Serena and Dan breaking up, Blair and Chuck hooking up, Vanessa and Nate breaking off whatever short-lived thing they had, then S and N maybe dating and D and V maybe dating sometime in the future, then B flirting with the help before she really dates C at all. Not to mention C’s wandering eye. So basically, all the maybe-couples will cheat on each other the first chance they get. I sure hope B can behave herself on that jet… At least we know for sure that Lily and Rufus had a fling the day before her wedding but she’s married and he’s not over her and she loves him but they’re not together maybe? This was too confusing. Why can’t Gossip Girl just spell it out for us?

The Bachelorette premiered last night. DeAnna Pappas, the most humiliated woman on reality TV who publicly got her heart broken and the clip set on instant replay for the next six months, agreed to her own dating show. Although, she sent home the moppy-headed guy who was the only young, cute one (of 25) so now I’m not interested.  

We’ll all (the 12 of us who watch the show, anyway) be waiting for the “Luke, I am your father” moment tonight on the Season Finale of Reaper where Sam finds out the Devil is his dad…Yeah. Cause that makes sense. Not.

Until we meet again over someone doing something outrageously stupid,

Bad News

Hey all. Bad news on the pics front. After much thinking on the topic of using pictures without explicit permission, I realized that I don’t want to go to jail. So, unless someone from Augustana sends us a message saying that they won’t sue us, the future of the pictures on the site looks bleak. The ball is in Augustana’s court.

 

-Nix (remember me?)

I Have a Theory

 This is an excerpt from the movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith that I just wanted to share with you all. It is from one of my favorite scenes. Jane Smith is having dinner by herself, distraught after thinking she killed her husband, John, even though it was on purpose. He shows up and they bicker while dancing. Here’s a taste of a really good, if not bitter scene, courtesy of me. You’re welcome. 

 ”Why is it you think we failed? Because we were leading seperate lives or was it all the lie that did us in?” (Jane)

 ”I have a theory, newly-formed.” (John)

 ”I’m breathless to hear it.”

 ”You killed us.”

 ”Provocative.”

 ”You approached our marriage like a job – something to be reconned, planned and executed.”

 ”And you avoided it.”

 ”What do you care if I was just a cover?” (John)

 ”Who said you were just a cover?”

 ”Wasn’t I?”

 ”Wasn’t I?” <Jane backs up, looking flustered> “Excuse me, I have to-”

Blow up the entire freakin’ restuarant!! Way to go, Jane.

The sad thing is I’ve seen the movie 25+ times and I didn’t have to look up the lines. But don’t thank me. Thank whoever wrote this gem.

Hey All

Hey. This is Nix, the more sane one. I’m busy making sure that we can legally post some “funny” pictures that we, well, I , drew on from the band Augustana. Basically, the site we copied the original from was shut down/renamed/whatever, so we can’t attribute a site that doesn’t exist. I think we’ll be OK if we just say where we originally got the pic. BTW, they’re done with all the complexity of Microsoft Paint (Hiya, Microsft Lawyers!).
