Scrubs

This is a little late, like over a week late, but I still want to talk about it. Scrubs season/series finale aired 2 weeks ago and it was not fun. Not because it was a bad episode, cause it was an awesome episode. But it wasn't fun because scrubs has been my favorite show for a while now and I have greatly enjoyed the new episodes and have been dreading the end of the show.

The final episode and last few episodes of the season involved JD leaving the hospital to work at a hospital closer to his son Sam. The finale was his last day at Sacred Heart and how he pictured the rest of his life.

In the very beginning of the episode they start off by Elliot telling JD not to be too disappointed if his leaving isn't as big as he imagined. As the day goes on, it quickly shows that this will be the case as it seems Turk is the only person really taking notice and trying to make it special.

Since it is probable that this is the last episode ever, you can feel the emotion in all of the actors through several points, such as when Carla is telling JD how much she will miss him. But where I felt it the most, and where it could be one of the most emotional points in the episode is when Dr. Cox is defending JD after he leaves when an intern says he wasn't that great. He then goes on to say that he was the best doctor to ever come through their and he was also an exceptional person. He ends it by saying that JD was his friend, all as JD is listening. After this rant, JD gets his dream by giving Cox a hug.

After this occurs, he begins his walk out of the hospital as many old characters make appearances as he imagines them wishing him goodbye. When he leaves is when they kind of resolve everything. A montage begins playing as he watches and it's home video like footage of his future. After the montage gets done playing, you could see Zach Braff (JD) crying since this was his last moment ever on scrubs. JD thinks to himelf as he walks to his car, "maybe this once my fantasies will come true." implying that this montage was indeed the future. After he thinks this, Bill Lawrence, the creator and director, is seen as a janitor saying goodnight to him.



Then the credits got rolling and it was somewhat hard to watch. They played the theme song as they showed them shooting the last episode and they showed everybodies last scene. It was pretty emotional. I liked this finale, but felt like it came a little short since I wanted to know what was going to happen. I wanted JD to propose or something like that, instead of just saying, yeah this could happen.

This was supposed to be the last season of scrubs, since it is definitly Zach's, and without JD, there is no scrubs in my opinion. But I guess now they are saying that they will continue next season, maybe with most of the same characters and cast. I'm not totally sure about how I feel about this because I love scrubs, but the main thing I love about it, is JD. He is the show for me. so I think if he guest starred on it every once in a while, I would enjoy it. But they can't just continue without him and expect it to be great still.

Wolverine

This weekend I saw X-men Origins: Wolverine, the newest X-men movie in the series. What I was expecting was an intense action movie, with a pretty good story to reveal how Wolverine's, or Logan's, previous life went down. And that was exactly what I got.

I'm not going to go into too much detail to prevent giving away the entire movie, but t started off his troubled life by showing some traumatic events that ocurred during his childhood. In these early moments, you learn that Victor Creed AKA Sabertooth, is actually Logan's brother. They had a special relationship and made a pact to always look after the other one, and not to let anyone get in their way.

In the very first scenes, it showed their roles in the civil war fighting for the union, in WW1, WW2, and the Vietnam War. And that's about all I'm going to say to not reveal anything more.

One of the coolest aspects of this movie were all of the references to other mutants, including Gambit, Deadpool, and many others. I was also really surprised when the movie started and I saw all of the people that were in this movies. I knew Ryan Reynolds was deadpool and that Liev Schreiber played Sabertooth, but I didn't know Will I Am and Dominic Monaghan were in it. That was a very pleasant surprise.

Some of the effects weren't great, like his claws at a few points. There were also few really bad/lame parts including the fiery explosion of a helicopter as Wolverine walks away from the wreckage. But I didn't pay much attention to that seeing as the fights kicked a lot of ass.

Vacation

This summer I will be going on three vacations, which is a little more than usual. I will be going to the Dells (for the third time) and staying at the Chula Vista there (for the third time). yay. Then I will be going to California for 10 days right before school starts to visit family and will be seeing many great sights. That should be really fun. But my dad also made an offer to me saying that if I kept my grades descent this year and didn't blow them, he would take me anywhere in the U.S., just us two. This got me very excited and I immediately said Hawaii. He said no, as I expected and I contemplated on where to go for the longest time. I definitely wanted to go somewhere tropical, but I wasn't sure where. When I told him this, he suggested Miami where he has a friend that could show us around and take us deep sea fishing, and then maybe go to the keys. I instantly said yes, and now if I do keep my grades up and we do go, this should be an awesome trip. But after thinking about where I wanted to go, I started mentally making a list of where I want to go in the world, so here is my top 10 list of where I want to visit in my lifetime.

10. Tokyo, Japan- Awesome sights, awesome food, awesome technology awesome girls. What more could you ask for?

9. Amsterdam, Netherlands- Amazing architecture and parties.

8. London, England- Cool historic sights and British accents are sexy.

7. Rome, Italy- Catacombs would be cool, and ancient Rome would be fun to see.

6. Galapagos Islands- Incedibly unusual but beautiful islands with unique animals and landscape.
5. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil- Amazing city on the ocean. While there I would travel inward to the rainforest and chill there awhile

4. Australia's Great Barrier Reef- The miles and miles of coral off the coast of Australia is slowly disappearing from warming waters and pollution. I really want to see this life and color before it disappears forever.

3. Cape Town, South Africa- Gorgeous environment in Africa with plenty to do on this coastal city. Like Rio de Janeiro, I would go inward and tour the savannah.

2. Hawaii- Do I even need an explanation here? One of the most relaxing spots in the world, with many islands, rain forests, beautiful beaches, resorts, and much more.

1. Maldives- This chain of tiny islands is slowly disappearing due to rising waters, and it's beauty will be lost forever, so I want to take advantage of it while it's here. Just take one look at the pictures of it and you will see why it's my number one destination.

Snakes

I'm sitting in the computer lab right now during AP Lang, and Robert is sitting next to me looking up pictures of huge ass snakes, so I think I'll talk about that.

For anyone that doesn't know me that well, I have a phobia of snakes. I'm not sure what that's called so I'll look it up now. Ophidiophobia is what it's called. I don't know why I'm afraid of snakes, but it's almost more of a recent thing. Snakes used to just creep me out and I didn't like them. But as I got older, I watched Indiana Jones more and other action movies filled with snake pits, snake bites, and other scary images. Now,just the thought of them make me cringe, and when snake shows come on, I start squirming in my seat.

One time I stepped on a snake, and yelled ran away. There's my snake story. Very anticlimactic, I know. Here are some sights that scare the shit out of me.

Well that was extremely painful for me so I hope you enjoy it.

You Creepin Creeper

If there is one word that is the most overused word in the English language by teenage girls, it has to be the word creeper. Yes it even surpasses "like". Now this in itself doesn't bother me, and I could easily look past it if it wasn't for the context it was used.

Now here are some definitions from urban dictionary to know what a creeper really is.

A person who does weird things, like stares at you while you sleep, or looks at you for hours through a window. usually a close friend or relative. you know right away if that person is a creeper or does creeper things. it is not hard to spot the creeper.

Someone who views your profile (multiple times) without saying anything.

A person and or creature who stalks/ creeps around/follows/ eavesdrops/ harasses/ lurks/ peeps/slinks/ sneaks/prowls/ hangs about/ skulks etc.

You get the jist. It's a stalker essentially. Now if this word were used in the correct way, it wouldn't even get used a quarter of how much it does today. Want to know the reason? Girls have gradually gotten more naive, and are now trained to perceive flirting as creeping.

Now here is the definition of flirting: a form of human interaction whereby one person subtlety indicates a romantic and/or sexual interest towards another. It can consist of conversation, body language, or brief physical contact. It may be one-sided or reciprocated (encouraged).

Now clearly these are very different and are heading in two completely different directions. But in case that was too dificult to understand, let me try to make this simple for you. When a guy likes you, he talks to you and tries to show his interest and see if you feel the same way. And when he's saying stuff you think is creeperish, it's NOT because he's stalking you and planning on raping you.

This rant wasn't triggered because a girl recently accused me of creeping. It's just been a buildup of annoyance of several girls constantly complaining about a creeper that's bothering them, or naming practically every guy a creeper. It just kind of pisses me off because being a creeper is not a good image, and especially sucks when it's not true.

The funny part, is that most girls that accuse guys of creepin, are the biggest flirts in the world. They draw them in, show them their (fake) interest, then talk about how stalkerish they are. Kind of a bitch thing to do if you ask me.

Draft TIme

The NFL Draft was this weekend and it was pretty interesting. I only really care about Hawkeye players that were drafted, and players the Vikings picked up, so that's all I'm gonna write about.

I was a little surprised about how some of the players went. Shonn was the first pick in the third round to the Jets, and Bradley Fletcher was the pick after him to the Rams. Then Olsen went in the fourth round to the Broncos and Brandon Myers in the sixth I think to the Raiders. That left King and Kroul undrafted. This kind of blew me away. Everything else generally went how I thought exept Myers who definitely surprised me going that high. But I thought King was for sure, and Kroul was a probably. Kroule ended up signing as a free agent with the Jets, but as of now, King is still not signed with anyone which is pretty disappointing.

The Vikings got five players from the draft. Their first round selection was a wide reciever named Percy Harvin from Florida, and is supposed to be a great reciever. They also got an awesome Lineman from Oklahoma to fill the gap at Ritht Tackle, and a speedy corner from Georgia. The last two selections were a Linebacker and Safety, and I don't know anything about them. But seeing as the Vikings have the best Linebacking unit in the League, I'm not sure why they picked up the linebacker.

Vids

I've seen a few videos lately that have shocked the hell out of me. All of them had to do with talents of people. Two of them were from Britains Got Talent, and one was just a random video from Yahoo! that I saw.

The first two were from Britains Got Talent, but YouTube won't let me post them for some reason, so I'll do my best to explain them. The first one I saw is a huge sensation and you have most likely seen it. Her name is Susan Boyle and she is a very intersting character. She looks like the typical crazy cat lady, and looks about sixty even though she's 47. But then she sang and captivated everyone in the audience. She had a very surprising voice for how she looked. Then the next episode a 12 year old kid came on and completely dominated the competition. His first song was a song by Amy Winehouse or however you spell it, but then Simon stopped him and said picked a very bad song and let him sing a Michael Jackson song. The moment he begins singing, everyones jaw dropped, including mine. He is definitely the best singer I have ever seen at 12 years old.


This is the other one. It's a band named Recess and the lead singer is 9 years old, the guitarist is 11, keyboard player is 13, the drummer is 11, and the bass player is 12.
