Listen to This: Gangnam Style

I will not say that this is not weird, but like many things that happen on the internet it has finally attracted me. And once I have determined that I like something, for whatever reason, I will actually send it to all my friends and force them to watch it. So I thought, why not then force it onto my blog? Anyway, the following is a song I had never heard before until YouTube suddenly thrust it upon me as the most popular video out there. When you watch it, you'll see why; and yes you must watch it to really understand. So do not just listen to this song, watch!

Music Video for Gangnam Style by Psy

Let me be the first to say that besides the part where he says gangnam style and eh sexy lady, I have absolutely no idea what he is saying. I do not even know what gangnam style is, but I can guess that it must be the style he just came up with. Still, the weirdness of this video and the awesomeness of the song make me want to write a whole blog about it. So watch and love it!

Maybe Watch This: Wild Cherry

Movie Poster for Wild Cherry
Tonight began much like any other night, I was bored and browsing through a long list of movies that did not seem very interesting when I came upon one that caught my eye. So I opened it and read the description about what this strangely titled movie I had never heard. Then, when all of the details satisfied my tastes in some manner or another, I decided to start watching it. 

What I learned from the description was this movie is about three female high schoolers that are apparently on some sort of list to have sex and they discover the list. So then these girls decide to seek revenge against the main character's boyfriend, because he should not be doing something so sinister as helping the main character get laid. Oh yeah, and Rob Schneider is in this movie as the dad. But what that description forgot to tell me was that the movie I was about to watch was one of those very awkward ones, a film that puts even the viewers into their own little place as they wonder what they are watching and why they cannot turn away. If that alone does not give any idea to what Wild Cherry is about, here is my full review!

Weird Email and Weird Messages

I know that I post a lot of blog entries, I know that I've recently started reviewing movies, and for whatever reason they have become popular on some websites across the net.  Yet what I got today in my email was actually the weirdest thing of all. It was a piece of spam that said the following (Please note that I've actually blackened out some stuff and removed all the links for your protection):
Hi, 
Considering that I work with <random_website>, I spend a lot of time on the Internet browsing blogs, and I must say that yours has caught my attention. Coincidentally, we recently published an article entitled (Article Name that is really long and stupid) that I believe would draw considerable interest from your readers. If you are interested in sharing with them, then feel free to do so. Here's the link for your convenience:  
(Article_Link_That_Was_Even_More_Stupid_Than_The_Article_Name_itself/) 
Thanks for your time!
K******* C****** 
So at first I was a little bit excited because I was getting an email about my blog and how it was drawing attention finally from google. I had a blog before this one and for all the efforts I put in to make it popular or interesting, I made nothing out of it. I'm not sure what I'm doing differently this time, maybe just because I do not care who reads this. At any rate, then I read the whole thing and instantly knew that what this really was is spam of the tenth degree. This person, Mrs K.C. as I'll call her, is most likely a computer bot that does a simple internet search to find articles similar to the one on their website and then send an email if possible. Or maybe it is a real person. Either way, I know how they found me and it actually has nothing to do with my blog. To say the least, I am still flattered that I am getting spam mail!

But this is not the only weird thing that is happening to me with spam messages. I also received a very convincing and interesting text message this morning (and coincidentally the exact same one from a slightly different number two days ago). What I need to make clear before I post that message is that the number was in the Colorado area code, but no one I knew. Anyway, the text message I got both times said the following:
If you could please let me know yes or no about the loan. If you can't then i need to come up with other options. I expect a call from missouri any 
Minute. I don't know how much longer mom can hang on. Thank you.
Now the clues I had that this message was fake are very small, except for the main detail that matters. First of all, my Mom was at home with me and so I was left confused. Second, I don't know anyone from Missouri. To say the least, I was left confused right after reading this. I just thought I would share it since this seems like some new scam.

Anyway, nothing else to really report at two in the morning.

Feeling Abstract

I can't seem to sleep and it has put me into an abstract sort of mood. I'm looking at life through a bit of a different perspective, different eyes that show a different view. It is strange to say the least, but it helps me settle into bed. So please don't mind the lack of fluidity in the next few paragraphs! They are not meant to be taken one after the other, but more as a sporadic explosion of thoughts.
