Friends With Benefits

I went to see Friends With Benefits today. Although I thought the trailer was cute, I really did not plan on spending money to see the movie. However after my son announced that he wanted to see Smurfs and Winnie the Pooh was unavailable, FWB became the movie for me. It was a very cute movie. There were only two people in the theater...me and a Latino guy....so we did the logical thing and watched the movie together. That made it even better. So I highly suggest going to see it with a member of the opposite sex. It'll give you plenty to chat about.

The concept of the movie is that two friends who each have gone through bad relationships and breakups decide to remain friends but have sex with each other. No emotional attachments. Yeah right. Anyone who is sexually active knows that this is nearly impossible. Not totally impossible....but nearly. Of course the dude catches feelings first....dont they always. Men are possessive. They do not want anyone being with the female that they are with....no matter what type of relationship they have with her. I've spoken to men who have gotten upset because their jumpoff was messing with someone. Their jumpoff!!!! Meaning they have someone else at home yet they are jealous over the mistress? Anyhoo I've digressed. You can spot this storyline from a mile away.......they are friends, they have sex, they catch feelings, they stop talking ..................... they get together and live happily ever after. While the storyline is predictable I still found myself choked up at the end. Yeah I cried and I felt like such a punk for doing so.  I couldnt help it. There were so many things about both of the characters that reminded me of ME.  And plus I'm a sucker for a fairy tale ending. :)

The movie stars Justin Timberlake who has the cutest ass ever. How do I know? Well they showed it about 10 times in the movie. If nudity offends you, well this is just not the movie for you lol. Its a movie about having sex with your friend so ummm yeah there is sex ... a lot of it :) Woody Harrison is also in the movie and he is one of my favorite characters. He stars as the homosexual coworker of Justin Timberlake. He is hilarious! "Dude no one wants to f*ck Obama! He has elephant ears" LOL! They definitely picked the right person to play this part.

I chuckled quite a few times throughout the movie and during the scene where the coffee is served(I dont want to tell the entire thing) I literally laughed out loud. I laughed so hard at that scene. Overall I enjoyed myself. It made me wonder about FWB. Is it a concept that could actually happen? Can you merely have sex with someone and not have any emotions attached? Sure you could, if you were a robot. Sex in itself is an emotional experience whether the male gender or female gender would like to admit it or not. Thats just the way it is but what do I know .... I'm an emotional Scorpio :)

I give Friends With Benefits a solid B-.(Official trailer below)

All hail the BUCS!

Every since the lockout ended I have been extra giddy about the upcoming football season. Trades, releases and deals made throughout the week have had me bouncing up and down with a huge smile on my face. I didnt think the smile could get any bigger ................ it just did.

Everyone who knows me knows that I am a HUGE fan of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I only consider myself a true fan of the Bucs and any other team that I cheer for merely fall under the category of "yeah I like you". My Buccaneer season is shaping up quite nicely. Next Saturday I head to Raymond James to attended the Brighthouse sponsered "Buccaneers at Night" event. There will be fireworks, the players will practice, cheap treats, free parking....yah yah yah! I WILL BE AT RAYMOND JAMES :) 

I knew I was going there. I also knew that I'd be attending the Tampa Bay vs Jacksonville game in December. My baby brother is a huge Jacksonville fan(God bless him) and I am the ultimate Tampa Bay fan so we are going together. This should be interesting. Truth be told I love Whatever-Jacksonville-has-named-their-stadium-now Stadium. I had fun the last time I went there to see the Houston Texans play. A Tampa Bay victory will make it sweeter ;) I knew I was going when I saw the schedule but what I didnt know was that I'd also be attending the Detroit vs Tampa game. I found that out today and I am super excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the Detroit game is going to be very interesting. Two young teams????? I'm just happy that I'll be there to take it all in. So thats two Buccaneer games. My dad is going to the MNF game when Tampa plays Indianapolis. I wonder if he will need a chaperone???? Let me make a call ;-)

Football is back ............ GO BUCS!

Yay! Football is back. The NFL and its players finally came to an agreement and we fans have forgotten all about the past few months of nail biting and hair pulling that they put us through. We're just happy that its back. And so is the trash talking. I've already started talking shit whether its about fantasy football or about my Buccaneers being the BEST in the NFC South(and we are) .... the talketh of the smack has begun.

Yesterday I was trying to read about all of the updates around the league via yahoo, espn and profootball talk and my excitement got the best of me. I went into overload. So much information in such a short amount of time. I was literally like a kid in a candy store. I even downloaded a football app to my phone so the updates could chime in as they came in. A bit much? Probably but how can you NOT be excited????

The Buccaneers have wasted no time. They've already emailed their One Buc Club members with information about training camp,  practice times and event locations and times. I'm so giddy. I was supposed to go last year and unforseen events kept me from going. I plan on going this year. I am optimistic about our season although many people continue to sleep on our team and their capabilities. Thats ok. Keep sleeping. You will be pleasantly surprised. LETS GO BUCS!

Why Google will NEVER win .......... my review of Google+

I want to say that I love Google. I really do. Their email(Gmail) is the best out here. I have like 3 or 4 accounts but that is where my love with Google ends. When it comes to social networking Google needs to take a seat until they can come out with something that is original, creative and interesting. So far they are failing.

First Google came out with Google Buzz. If you did not happen to have a Buzz dont worry, you didnt miss out on anything. It was basically a bootleg twitter. It never caught on.

Now Google has Google +. I first heard about Google+ on my twitter timeline which says a lot in itself. I'm always one to try out a social networking site so I joined. Child boo! Google+ is simply a bootleg facebook in every sense of the word. There is NOTHING on Google+ that is NOT on facebook. Google should be ashamed of themselves for even putting it out. How do you copy and steal every single feature from another site and claim it as your own? I remember when Google+ first came out, people on twitter were commenting that facebook should be trembling in their pants. Why? I worked at facebook I'd be laughing my ass off. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery dontcha think? And Google+ is merely that......an imitation of facebook.

I asked one of my google+ friends what features Google has that facebook does not have. He never responded. I think he thought I was being sarcastic or even funny ... I dont know but  I was being serious. What does it have that other social networking sites dont have? What sets it apart? Nothing. And that my friends is why,  in my opinion, Google will never win. Until they can come up with their own shit they are going to continue to put out products like Buzz and Plus. The best thing about Google plus is that when I quit twitter, I was able to still talk to people from twitter through Plus. Thats about it. Its my new place to go when I am bored but hell its boring over there. Many of my circle friends dont post .... I guess they are too busy on facebook or twitter .... I wouldnt blame them. So my grade for Google+ is a D+. It going to stay that way until someone can tell me what they have that facebook does not have. Til then, do better google!
