Mary J. Blige Singing the National Anthem at the World Series is the Most Underwhelming News Story of the Century
(Source) “Major League Baseball better get ready for a world-class performance!
Yahoo Music can exclusively reveal that Mary J. Blige has been tapped to sing the national anthem at Game 1 of the 2013 World Series on Wednesday, when the Boston Red Sox and St. Louis Cardinals take the field at Fenway Park.
“It is an honor to have the opportunity to perform the National Anthem,” Blige, who has sold more than 50 million records, including eight multiplatinum albums, nine Grammy Awards (plus 29 nominations) and four American Music Awards, dished. “I’ve conducted countless performances across the globe throughout my illustrious career, but performing the anthem at Yankees Stadium during the 2009 World Series was beyond a thrill, and so I’m looking forward to again being a part of baseball’s great history.”
While she’s clearly a fan of America’s favorite pastime, Blige has also been busy working on a grandslam of her own: her new holiday album, “A Mary Christmas,” which she released October 15.
Baseball fans are surely in for a treat since Blige is known for belting out powerhouse performances. We’re sure she’ll knock this one right outta the park. The question is: will she be rooting for the Sox or the Cardinals?
The 2013 MLB World Series airs on Fox, with Game 1 launching at 7:30 p.m. ET.”
I don’t hate Mary J. I actually think she’s great, but I don’t want her singing the national anthem at Fenway for game 1. Would it be so hard for the Sox to get a singer/ band who’s actually from Boston to perform? Aerosmith, James Taylor, Dropkick Murphys are just a few names that come to mind. Instead they go with a native New Yorker and longtime Yankee fan. Smart move. I really think we should all stop kidding ourselves and get George Michael a one way flight to Boston and get the entire stadium sobbing uncontrollably.

Petr Svacha Has a Fever, and the Only Prescription is Snack Packs
(Source) “Hell hath no fury like a man denied the last few bites of pudding.
Especially if that man is Petr Svacha, a 36-year-old man in Zlin, Czech Republic.
Svacha was eating in a restaurant recently when employees told him to leave because it was closing time — even though he wasn’t finished with his chocolate pudding.
The Czech wasn’t pleased, but he apparently got his “just desserts” shortly thereafter.
Officers say Svacha he came back to the eatery, this time with a chainsaw, and cut a hole into the restaurant, PoliceOracle.com reported.
“He sliced a hole in the door, climbed inside and went to his table, but when he grabbed the half-finished dessert he was overpowered by a waiter and handed over to police,” Zlin police spokesman Ales Mergental said, according to Orange News.
If convicted, Svacha could spend a year in prison.”
I like pudding. Snack packs are one of the finest creations this side of electricity. Would I tear apart a restaurant with a chainsaw if I were denied a pudding that was rightfully mine? I can’t say I would, but I can’t say I wouldn’t. Some people might refer to this as an “overreaction”, but from my point of view, Petr seems like an everyday guy who was just trying to enjoy his dessert. When words don’t suffice, the next logical step is always a chainsaw. Always. Was he was out of line? I don’t know, I’m not a doctor. But what I do know is that when the rest of the world see’s a psychopath, I see a man who just really loves his pudding.

3 Cars That Get My Heart Racing
Ferrari F40
The Ferrari F40 is easily one of the most recognized cars the world over. 0-60 in 4 seconds? Check. Head-turning curves? Check. Purrs like a kitten on acid? Double check. Even though this beauty stopped being manufactured in 1992, the Ferrari F40 has a timeless look that will never go out of style.
Toyota Corolla AE86
The 86′ Corolla hatchback aka The Panda. This car is known around the world as a legendary Japanese drift car. People love the tiny form factor and light weight that make it an idea on the track racer. As for me? I just like that way it looks. Something about the hatch and the slant of the hood is very appealing to me. Not to mention the two-tone paint scheme. I love me some two-tone. I know it might sound weird, with so many other cars out there, but I would be more than happy to have one of these in my garage.
Mustang GT500 Fastback
Last, but never least, is the 1967 Mustang GT500 fastback aka Eleanor. First thing i’d like to say about this car is that over the years it has become all to common to see these at car shows and auctions, but that doesn’t change anything for me. The only change that I would make to the classic “Eleanor look” would be to paint the car flat black and keep the glossy black racing stripes. Just a perfect car inside and out.

Toby Shelton Really Likes Justin Bieber
(Source) “A 33-year-old man has spent five years and $100,000 in an effort to look like his hero – teenaged pop idol Justin Bieber.
Toby Sheldon is a songwriter from Los Angeles who has used Bieber’s youthful features as the inspiration for numerous surgeries, including face fillers, a chin reduction and eyelid surgery.
Sheldon’s obsession with his appearance began when he started having treatments to prevent his hair thinning at the age of 23, but really took off when a pre-pubescent Justin Bieber hit the big-time in 2008.
Sheldon, along with hordes of preteen girls, became enamored of the pop star.
‘Once Justin shot to fame his face was everywhere and I all I kept thinking when I saw his picture was, “I want to look like him,”‘ Sheldon says.
Sheldon had already spent $8,000 on hair transplants to supplement his thinning blond locks, but he wasn’t happy with the results.
He took a picture of Bieber to his plastic surgeon to demonstrate exactly how he wanted his hair to look.
‘It took three transplants and a total of $21,000 to accurately lower my hair line, close off my temples and grow back my bangs,’ he says.
Once he had perfected his Bieber-style hair, Sheldon, who admits to a phobia of aging, decided he wasn’t finished.”

There are a lot of things I’d spend $100,000 on. A house, a car, a romantic getaway with Clooney; pretty much anything that involves food, beer or movies. What I wouldn’t spend $100,000 on is plastic surgery to make myself look like Justin Bieber. It’s kind of haunting that a 33 year old, someone who clearly doesn’t require any plastic surgery whatsoever, would not only spend that much money on plastic surgery, but do it specifically so he looks like a 19 year old pop singer. This is what you call an unhealthy obsession. If you’re fortunate enough to have this much spare cash, and you spend it on plastic surgery to look like Justin Bieber, you’re insane. Plain and simple. That picture will haunt me forever.

Tyler The Creator: 5 Things You Didn’t Know
– via BuzzFeed
One thing we knew before this, is that Tyler is definitely insane, but he’s sure as hell fun to watch. The guy never stops working, and now he’s teaming up with Fox to create the animated short 5 Things You Don’t Know About Me. Creativity never sleeps, and I’m glad to see someone with his talent spreading his wings.

I Just Found the Songbird of the Next Generation
Look I don’t know much. I floated through school, and I’d much rather drink a beer than read a book. With that said, I do recognize talent. This baby might not be able to speak or walk, but it will become the next big thing. That’s what happens when you watch footage of the greatest performer/ man with the best mustache ever. If there’s one person who’s life path I’d wish to follow it’s Freddie. Just a flawless, mistake free life in the fast lane. I never thought I’d be jealous of a baby, but I guess that’s what YouTube is for: to make me jealous of a person who literally shits their pants all day.

A Rare Saber-tooth Whale and the Dummy Pointing to it
A rare whale that has a dolphin-shaped head and saber-like teeth has been found dead on Los Angeles’ Venice Beach, even though it prefers frigid subarctic waters.
The roughly 15-foot-long female Stejneger’s beaked whale washed ashore Tuesday night, the Los Angeles Times reported. A truck hauled away the mammal, which was being examined at the Los Angeles County Natural History Museum to determine how it died. – FoxNews.com
I am all about cool and interesting nature things, so obviously I clicked this link as fast as my mouse could move. Page loads and I am immediately over the whole thing. You know why? This chick pointing at the whales dead body. Not that i’m upset or surprised the rare whale was dead, I knew that going in, but the fact that she has to point it out to me. Oh, you mean you’re not showing me the tow truck? You’re showing me the giant whale carcass on the back? Wow, mind blown.
Stick your finger somewhere else, lady.

***Update*** Twitter got upset I that i was hating on this lady.
@AverageNobodies yeah she was not just pointing at the whale. She was pointing out the shark bite attacks.

@kmbessey maybe so, but I still don’t like her attitude about the whole situation. #WhaleEnthusiast

@AverageNobodies You don’t know her attitude. Slight smile while looking into sun for photo is overreaching and judgmental. Read article.
