History, Kid Style

Every once in awhile Josh and me need another funny YouTube video to obsessively quote to each other. One day, Josh showed me "Kid History." This is episode four, probably my favorite, but if you feel like killing time watch all five.

I seriously was gasping for breath, rolling on the floor as I watched those kids. Every day I walk around quoting Kid History to my family. Sometimes I'll remember the jokes and randomly start laughing out loud. Today I was pondering my obsession with Kid History. Why do I find it so stomach-cluchingly funny?

I guess it is because I have little brothers and sisters, and I grew up hearing the little nuances of how they pronounce words. I have this bad habit of copying them; recently I've been talking like David, saying things like "hey, yooooouuu, yoooouuu is doing sumbing?" or "HEY! you is berry stinky!" or "ine so berry much in lub wiz you."

Then I wondered, would Kid History be funny to me if I didn't have little brothers and sisters? On a deeper level, are different things funny to different people based on past life experiences? Why is Kid History hilarious/not hilarious to you, personally?

New Music

Being introduced to new music always fires me up. My best friend, Adam, has been pushing this band on me for a while, but I just kind of shrugged it off. Tonight I took a close listen, and I am just so happy that I did. It sounds so neat and different. I'll be listening to this as I jog.

What was the last song that shocked you into paying attention?

over-exsesive shoppers?? by Shaden AbouJaoude

What people do not realize is that at least 6 times a week they purchase something new and do not try to refuse it people. In then United States people spend over three thousand dollars every month. Sometimes even without realizing it. Most of the time boys spend it on electronics and games, and although I hate to admit this as a girl, but girls mostly spend money on shopping. Which is why I chose this picture, and also because I thought it was incredibly cute. So in the end 9 words mean a lot more. It also means that cat likes shoes.

How much time does this guy have?

This video shows the most amazing Domino course I have ever seen. This is what some one does when they want to get on the Guiness Book of World Records. This is one of those things someone does without mistakes because no one really has the heart to do it again. While you watch the video keep your jaw up and imagine what would happen if he missed the first shot.

Some Times I Feel Like Doing This

This video amazes me in many ways. Maybe some of you guys have already seen it on You Tube. This video explains what happens when you spend all your time doing work for school and studying. You brain gets over heated and stops you from focusing. When you hit that point some people go crazy and laugh hysterically at everything. Some people just can't continue without a snack break (me). Some times when you are stuck on a question in a test, everyone is silent, you here the clock ticking, some one is tapping their foot or clicking their pen when you feel like. . . pulling out a toy gun and start a war with you fellow class mates. Maybe it is just me, but this video shows that pretty well. The Great Office War is a battle of failure at impulse control. A battle where people just can't take it anymore. If there was dialogue in the first part of the video i know what it would say:

SALES LEADER; "JUST STOP CLICKING THAT STUPID PEN!!!"
IT Leader; "I CAN CLICK A PEN IF I WANT!!!"
IT Woman; "I AM SICK OF YOU GETTING DECAF, LIVE A LITTLE!!!"
SALES Woman; "HEY!!! THAT WAS HOT CHOCOLATE!!! GET SOME!!!"

And thus, the Great Office War Began. . .

who says chicks are cute? by Shaden AbouJaoude

This picture shows the aggressive side to chicks that we do not see everyday. In my opinion this is a male chick due to the colors of its feathers. From my point of view the worm that the chick is running away and the chick is getting aggravated. Normally when you first see pictures like this you probably think aw it is so cute. In this case you probably laugh out loud or at least smile. From a specific point of view you might say “this is not funny, learn to spell.” Part of what makes it funny is the misspelled words.

Home

Back when Mr. Pereira and I first created this blog, I posted this video that explores the idea of homes and the role they play in our lives. However, because it was one of my first posts, no one was commenting on it. That is a shame, because it is one awesome video. So I decided to bring it back for you guys to observe and enjoy. Think of it as a blog's greatest hits.

This video comes to us from thismustbetheplace, a web video series about how different people define what a home is. Clearly Chong Gon Byun here, a Korean living in Brooklyn, at least partially defines home as a work of art. But what I like about this video, the reason I think it is interesting, is the way in which it focuses only on details. Byun doesn't ever say, "My opinion of home is . . ." Rather, the camera overwhems the viewer with details and allows them to draw their own conclusions. I think this method really invites the viewer in.
