Jenkem

So I was just browsing the internet, and a concerned parent asked if Jenkem was a codename for weed or a drug, as her kid had said something about it in an IM. I'm so surprised at what I found. It is definitely not marijuana, I'm not sure what to even call it. According to the fox news video I linked down below, it is often called 'Butt Hash'.

Jenkem is an alleged hallucinogenic recreational drug composed of noxious gas formed from fermented sewage

 After searching a little more, I found an actual recipe for Jenkem from an anonymous source.






Tetralyte:
Warning: This mixture has been known to produce extreme hallucinations, vomiting, and/or diarrhea.
Tetralyte is produced by mixing fecal matter and the fatty acids found in beef.


 Recipe:
-Ground Beef (30% Lean)
-Fecal Matter
-Pineapple Juice, Lemon Juice, Urine
 Directions:
-Squeeze fat from beef into small bowl
-Mix with fecal matter and place in cooking pot
-Put on stove at high heat for 5 minute while slowly stirring in the juice/urine
-Remove from burner and immediately pour into air-tight container
-Attach balloon or other expandable device to capture gas

Sounds delicious right? I guess it feels similar to taking Cocaine. Apparently all subjects who have used Jenkem disliked the taste of shit in their mouth and the fact that the taste lasted for several days.

Other names : Winnie, Shit, Runners, Butthash, Waste, Devil's Chocolate, Cheese, Fruit from Crack Pipe, Leroy Jenkems (I lol'd), and Might.

Day 15 – A character who you can relate to the most

 
The Big Lebowski (1998)

Directed by
Joel Coen
Ethan Coen

10/10
I seriously love this movie, its pretty much a perfect comedy. I would say I relate to The Dude. I'm just as lazy as him, and the only 'sport' I do really is bowling. He pretty much doesn't care what other people think, and I love that. Just like him and his robe, I'll walk into a store with pajamas on, get what I want, drink it on the way to the counter haha. Dude.




Day 16 – A movie that you used to love but now hate

Kick-Ass (2010)

Director: 

Matthew Vaughn 5/10
I went to see Kick-Ass with a friend of mine at the movies. I thought it was great, what I really liked were the scenes of violence, especially the warehouse scene, which blew my mind at the time. Just a couple weeks ago I noticed Kick-Ass was on Netflix, so I decided to watch it. It was awful. I guess being with my friend had distracted me from the horrible acting. I think what made it a challenge was the dialogue from the comic (I'm only speculating). Saying things like "Oh dear child" isn't really normal. Only good actors in my opinion was Chloe Moretz(Hit Girl) and  Aaron Johnson(Kick-Ass), and possibly Kick-Ass'es friends.



Day 17 – A movie that disappointed you the most
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010)

Director: 

David Yates 5/10

I am a huge fan of the Harry Potter books and the older movies of the series. The latest movies have been so dark and terrifying. I skipped the midnight premier as I had a film class that I was going to watch it with the same day as the premier. I hated it. Every little part of this movie was awful. The chase scene is what first made me angry, It was back to being childish, I couldn't help but facepalm. The rest of the movie kills me. Watching people stand around in the woods for an hour wasn't exactly what I was looking forward too. Nothing happened, and when people tell me, "oh well thats because the second half has all the action" I get so annoyed. I don't care about the second half, a boring movie is a boring movie. I did like how the director followed the book in much more detail then past movies, but I felt bad for people who have not read the books; It leaves those who have not read the book behind.

Hangover 2 Review and Day 14/13

The Hangover Part II! Last night I had the pleasure of watching the midnight premier. And to be honest, I would have to rate it a 7/10. This movie seemed to lack the charm of the original Hangover.

What really bothered me throughout the movie was Alan (Zach Galifianakis). In the first movie, his awkward sayings and behaviors where the reason he was so funny and really livened up the whole thing. If anyone has seen Due Date, you know that there is definitely a limit on the awkward behavior before it just comes annoying and completely unfunny. I had prayed that Todd Phillips wouldn't make the same mistake twice. Hangover 2 was in the middle, behavior wise, between Hangover and Due Date, which is still too much Alan for me.





Hangover Part II unbalanced the mix of shock and creativity by really ramping up the shock. Sure it's shocking, but not really funny or interesting.. This movie really lacked in the witty sayings of Hangover 1. Where is the new 'One Man Wolfpack'! Maybe I wasn't paying enough attention but who knows.

Too be honest, I am starting to lose faith in Todd Phillips. And even though Hangover 2 has a 32% percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, I am already sure that a Hangover 3 will probably come out!


Day 14 – A movie that no one would expect you to love
Sixteen Candles (1984)

Director: 

John Hughes 9/10
I'm pretty sure anyone who knows me would never ever think this as a movie I like. I usually watch a lot of violent movies, so Sixteen Candles is definitely not the usual thing. I actually was bored one day and watched this on tv. The thing is, I like 80's high school movies, who doesn't!? They are so..funny but in an 80's unique way of being funny. Oh and Molly Ringwald was pretty cute.








Day 13 – A movie that is a guilty pleasure

Avatar (2009)

Director: 

James Cameron 8/10
There is no doubt about it, this is the most overrated movie there is. This movie ended its theater showings with a total gross of $2,782,275,172 dollars worldwide. And it really does seem to copy from Titanic and from Pocahontas. It also has a really obvious political message; That armies and corporations are bad. Even with all of that combined, I still love this movie. I actually seen this movie in 3d on the midnight premier. I think the 3d is what bought me, it was amazing, it was almost too life like at some points.

Day 12 – A movie that you hate
Sorry I missed a day!
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)

Director: 

Adam McKay 0/10
I know I'm going to get a lot of hate for posting this movie as a movie I hate, but... I hate this movie so much. I don't know why I hate it! My friends all love it, we all have the same type of humor. Just the cheap jokes get to me, and I don't think Will Ferrell is as funny as he thinks he is. I've watched this movie two-three times, and I've never enjoyed it. Oh well.







Day 11 – A movie that changed your opinion about something

The Dark Knight (2008)

Director: 

Christopher Nolan 9/10
This movie changed my mind about a lot of things. About Christopher Nolan as a director. He is one of the best directors there are, and before this movie, I didn't really see him that way. I also really love the characters, batman and the joker. The main thing where the opinions of the actors. Christian Bale has always been a eh.. actor for me, and Heath Ledger to me was that guy from Brokeback Mountain. Christian Bale, along with his great performance from The Fighter, is now an amazing artist in my eyes. The Joker, Heath Ledger is what makes the movie and this really makes me sad that he died before making more movies.

Cigarettes

New York City has increased the area where people cannot smoke, a no-smoking area. The no-smoking area has increased by 29,000 acres. Thats pretty damn big.

now that it is illegal to light up in parks and on beaches, the New York Post reported Tuesday.

 That sounds pretty fascist to me. Honestly the smell of others smoking does bother me. But if I take a few steps away, I'm fine. Do we really need to make sure there is no one in the park smoking? Where else is it going to be illegal to smoke after this. And if I'm not mistaken, this sort of contradicts something. That something would be our amendments.

Amendment 10 - The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

I'm no expert on the constitution or the amendments so I could be wrong. Feel free to mention other infractions :D. I've also always thought that the ban on all restaurants was silly as well. The owners should be allowed to decide if smoking in their property is okay or not. I'm really tired of all this anti smoking propaganda that gets passed around. People are going to do what they want, and people know it slowly kills you. Leave people be.

I hold it to be the inalienable right of anybody to go to hell in his own way.  ~Robert Frost

Day 10 – Favorite classic movie

Day 10 – Favorite classic movie

Seven Samurai (1954)

Director: 

Akira Kurosawa 10/10
I'm not to sure what this movie challenge means by 'classic movie' but I chose Seven Samurai anyways. This movie is really long, but it is another one of my favorites for sure. I love samurai movies, this might be the best of them. Most violent films fail to show the  repercussions of the violence itself. This movie doesn't ignore the consequences. This movie gets to my savage side, I like seeing the bad guy get cut up and lose. This movie is pretty dark, a enemy would be knocked off his horse, and try to crawl away while the villagers would stab him. I recommend it!

End of the world

May 21, 2001. Today is supposed to be the end of the world.  This reminded me of one of my favorite songs, Ænema by Tool  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCEeAn6_QJo .

I honestly feel bad for the people who truly believed in this 'End of the world' crap. We were supposed to be hit by earthquakes and natural disasters while the chosen people would be taken to heaven.

Instead of a series of earthquakes hitting successive countries at 6pm local time and heralding The Rapture – in which millions of the Faithful would ascend to heaven before the Second Coming of Christ – planet Earth simply carried on and, mostly, kept calm.

These people went ahead and spent millions of dollars trying to 'warn' people of the coming of the end of the world.

Camping and his followers spent more than $100m worldwide on billboards and posters, financed by the sale and swap of radio stations.

I am an atheist, so obviously, I would never be convinced by this guy's predictions. And while I feel bad for these silly Christians who spend more then a 100 Million, I hope they all feel like dicks for creating a stir and making a mockery of their religion. Their 15 minutes of fame will soon be gone. This was a fun experience though, with all the 'let's do something before we die' offers, tell me, what did you do today?

Day 09 – A movie with the best soundtrack

The Social Network! Just Kidding!

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

Director: 

Stanley Kubrick 10/10
The other movie I would have chosen would have been A Clockwork Orange. This movie is so strange but at the same time the most brilliant movie I have ever seen. For people with no patients, this movie is definitely hard to watch, It is very slow. The music of this movie makes it even more epic. The models in this movie look so realistic that it blows away CGI effects completely. Kubrick truely was a genious. This movie was made to have an open interpretation of what it all means.

And by the way my hard drive is still acting up, so I'll probably buy a new one, but it's running fine for the mean time.

Lazy today, might make an actual blog post later
Knocked Up (2007)

Director: 

Judd Apatow 10/10
When I watch a movie multiple times, it's usually a funny movie, excluding Requiem for a Dream. I have seen this movie so many times, I pretty much know everything that's going to happen. I love Knocked Up, seriously, it's great. Seth Rogen always gives me a laugh in any movie he plays, just look at his face, gets a giggle everytime. His roommates are hilarious too, just the whole situation with them is a funny thing. I recommend this movie for anyone who wants to laugh.

My hard drive and Day 07 – The most surprising plot twist or ending

Well, it looks like my hard drive has taken a crap. In my past experience, hard drives problems slowly build up, that way you actually know there is something wrong. Mine, however, decided to stop working today randomly.

<-- This is from a screenshot I literally just took. Apparently chrome has corrupt files. Honestly guys, I don't know what to do other then just buy a new hard drive. Could it be possible that there is another problem? My blogs are going to be done for a while on my iPad while I try and get a new hard drive. And since this post is short, Ill just continue my movie challenge here.
Day 07 – The most surprising plot twist or ending

Oldboy (2003)

Director: 

Chan-wook Park 10/10

This is one of my favorite movies. I love everything about it, its so dark and amazing. This movie definitely has one of the biggest plot twists I have seen. It's pretty clever how the signs are there but at the same time it is completely unpredictable. The main character Oh Dae-Su is imprisoned for 15 years, and after he is released, the movie is spent trying to figure out who placed him there and why. This movie has an amazing fighting scene in a hallway that is completely realistic and the awesome thing is this long fight is all one uncut scene. This movie doesn't lack in blood and violence at all, its one of the most gritty movies I have seen. I recommend this for everyone who hasn't seen it. You don't know what you are missing.

Once again, a weak subject for me, don't take this too serious
Scooby Doo on Zombie Island (1998)

I know that Scooby Doo is pretty much played out at this point. But this is nostalgia for me. As a kid I watched pretty much all of the crappy made for TV Scooby Doo movies. Alot of the jokes are based around the fact that they are slightly more grown up then they were in the tv series. They all have jobs, Fred and Daphne are jealous of each other for talking to another person. There is alot of scary action that goes on, and it can get spooky! And once again, I know I chose a Scooby Doo movie, but I don't watch tv =/ Thanks.

So...love stories aren't my thing
Titanic

Director: 

James Cameron 7/10

I was a little kid when watching this, so the sex in this movie blew my mind. I think what makes this movie what it is, is the song by Celine Dion. Even an emotionless bastard like me is touched by this song. This movie is alright, although I'd say it is extremely over rated. Not much more to say except, I don't like love stories, so don't hate on me too much. Thanks guys.

Flintstones reboot, wtf?

Well just by the title, you already know what this post is about. The cartoon, The Flintstones, is being rebooted by none other then Seth MacFarlane.

The mastermind behind Family Guy will reboot the classic animated series The Flintstones for Fox.

Now I'm personally disgusted by this. One, he is in no way a mastermind. He's far from it. Family Guy was funny at one point...not anymore, it hasn't been funny for a few seasons. Second, it's a classic cartoon, I don't want it to be tarnished and ruined. Although this cartoon is definitely old, I use to love watching it as a kid. The silly almost cheesy humor was just icing on the cake to me. This isn't a joke either, production is going to start in 2013.

 As for his re-imagination, he said the show has to keep up with the times but some things will remain familiar for old fans.

They are supposed to be prehistoric cavemen, but hes going to make it current with the times? How!? Maybe by adding in some liberal propaganda like he always does in Family Guy? (I'm not republican) I'm going to watch at least the first episode of this show, just to witness how bad it is going to be. P.S: I also like how the article has to tell you what The Flinstones was about, how pathetic.

Requiem for a Dream - 2000

Director: 

Darren Aronofsky 10/10

Requiem for a Dream is seriously one of my favorite movies, it quite possibly could be my favorite. Now the reason I chose this movie as a movie that makes me sad is because it is one of the most depressing movies I have ever seen. The ending will leave you feeling terrible. The best acting comes from Ellen Burstyn. Her portrayal as an old lady who is losing her mind is amazing. This movie is all about drugs, and how it ruins 4 peoples lives. This movie has violence, and fucked up sex scenes; Pretty much the combination for the perfect movie. I completely recommend it!

Superbad

Director: Greg Mottola 10/10

Superbad..this movie is definitely my favorite comedy. This came out while I was just starting my sophomore year in high school (I'm 19). This movie made that whole year amazing. I think I have watched this movie probably 20 times since it has came out. And while It's not as surprising as when I first seen it, It still makes me laugh everytime. I think everyone remembers the dick drawing scene. If you want to see the scene, skip the video to 4:40. This movie made me want to party, and do stupid things. I remember watching this movie in theaters and just being blown away by how it captured my humor perfectly. I recommend this movie for anyone (with a sense of humor).

Bin Laden...still...

<--This is from a screenshot I took from the CNN website. They have a special section for Bin Laden news, I find that hilarious and annoying at the same time. Why can't it just be news! I wasn't going to comment anymore till I read the names of the articles. Obviously the porn found in the compound is funny news, but I
was more annoyed with "Pakistan parliament condemns U.S. raid". Pakistan's parliament has condemned the United State's actions. Are you fucking kidding me? Excuse my language, but really? Do they think they look good doing this? What is it going to look like if Pakistan does cut off access to the country? It's going to look like they would have cut us off and severed ties because we killed a terrorist they were harboring in their country.

Failure to end unilateral U.S. raids and drone attacks will force Pakistan to "to consider taking necessary steps, including withdrawal of (the) transit facility" used by the NATO's International Security Assistance Force, according to the resolution.

 How do you guys feel? Next, is the "Porn said to be found in compound". I personally find this hilarious. This just pretty much shows this guy was human, weird right? They also describe his porn stash as large. Well of course! We get bored, no one likes to fap to the same thing more then..twice (my opinion). I wonder what he liked, I bet he had an ironic fetish for American women.

Day 02 – The most underrated movie

Day 02 – The most underrated movie


Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Directer - Michel Gondry 10/10

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind... what an amazing movie. Seriously, I never wanted this movie to end! This is most definitely my favorite Jim Carrey movie. The acting throughout this whole movie was amazing. The only thing that really annoyed me was Kirsten Dunst, just...because. The concept is that a guy is having certain memories of his girlfriend erased away and he is trying to avoid it. It's all sort of like a dream, and thats what really took me by surprise. I loved this movie, and I definitely recommend it! I only heard of this movie maybe last year, I wish I had known about it sooner.


Oh and I thought about it and you guys are all right, Book of Eli really wasn't that good haha.

Day 1 - The best movie you saw during the last year

I've decided that along with my normal blogs, I will start a challenge. After looking at some tumblr challenges, I decided I would just look up a 30 day movie challenge. The challenge I am doing is here: http://www.theaterthoughts.com/?p=446.

Day 1 - The best movie you saw during the last year

The Book of Eli

Directors - Albert Hughes, Allen Hughes  9/10

The Book of Eli was definitely my favorite movie of 2010. The cinematography was beautiful throughout the whole movie. This movie was truly stunning. What made me really like it was the quick scenes of violence. It was over as quick as it started. Every fight scene in this movie made me sit on the edge of my couch completely interested. My favorite scene was the street shootout. The reason I gave this movie a 9 out of 10 was the ending. The ending was...stupid.. to me at least. Runner up was Inception.

Sleep, is it really necessary?

Yes, it's very necessary! And If you read the name of my blog, you can probably tell I don't get enough of it. I'm sure you have had periods of insomnia as well. A lot of people have a sleep-wake cycle that is longer then 24 hours. That means that if you have a set hour to go to sleep, you are going to have a whole lot of trouble falling back asleep. Sleep is linked with Bipolar Disorder, Depression, and Diabetes, it is also linked with a High IQ.

Recently, scientists discovered a quirky side effect to having a high IQ: You tend to stay up until later hours and get up later in the morning. That's right -- the more intelligent are also much more likely to be night owls

What if I told you there were ways to get around requiring all 8 hours of sleep? Cause it is very possible. One stage of our sleep that we benefit the most from is REM (Rapid eye movement). The thing about the normal 8 hour sleep cycle is that only 1-2 hours are spent in REM. This is where Polyphasic sleep comes in. This is the practice of sleeping multiple times a day.

The Siesta - One 20 minute nap, 6 hours core sleep                                        6.3 total hours
The Everyman 2-nap - Two 20 minute naps, 4.5 hours core sleep                5.2 total hours
The Everyman 3-nap - Three 20 minute naps, 3 hours core sleep                4 total hours
The Everyman 4-nap - Four or five 20 minute naps, 1.5 hours core sleep   2.8 total hours
The Uberman - Six 20 minute naps                                                                       2 total hours

One method to actually falling asleep quickly is to use Paradoxical Intention.

"Paradoxical Intention" is a method to fall asleep more quickly. The trick: try as hard as you can to stay awake with your eyes closed laying in your bed. (it really works!)

What type of personality do you have?

When I first took this test to find out what type of personality I had, my results showed I was an INTJ. Now that stands for Introversion, Intuition, Thinking, and Judgement. Now that I've taken it again, I am an ENTJ, and the only thing that has changed is instead of Introversion, it stands for Extroversion. Bill Gates, Whoopi Goldberg, Warren Buffett are just an example of famous ENTJ's.

 I would recommend taking the personality test and finding out what type of personality you have!                          Personality Test

                There are sixteen types of personalities:

• ISTJ - The Duty Fulfillers ESTJ - The Guardians  

• ISFJ - The Nurturers        ESFJ - The Caregivers 

• ISTP - The Mechanics     ESTP - The Doers

• ESFP - The Performers    ISFP - The Artists

• ENTJ - The Executives     INTJ - The Scientists

• ENTP - The Visionaries    INTP - The Thinkers

• ENFJ - The Givers           INFJ - The Protectors

• ENFP - The Inspirers       INFP - The Idealists

.

A short description from Wikipedia describes ENTJ as

      "They tend to be self-driven, motivating, energetic, assertive, confident, and competitive. They generally take a big-picture view and build a long-term strategy. They typically know what they want and may mobilize others to help them attain their goals. ENTJs are often sought out as leaders due to an innate ability to direct groups of people. Unusually influential and organized, they may sometimes judge others by their own tough standards, failing to take personal needs into account.^[4]."

     Another Interesting thing about all these personality types is their link to relationships. The saying 'Opposites Attract" is pretty true and finding someone with the right personality type can really affect your relationship. Someone who is extroverted is more likely to be successful with someone who is introverted. And someone who judges is better with someone who perceives. And the other two factors usually are best when they are matched. Someone who is Intuitive is best with another Intuitive person.

A new android app store

I want to bring attention the amazon appstore. I installed it immedietly after receiving an email. If it isn't obvious already, I am an android fanboy!
Pros:
1. Very friendly layout, much better then the stock android market. 
One thing that really annoys me with the stock android market app is auto updates. I have an Htc Aria, and it doesn't have unlimited memory. At one point, I would turn on the stock app and my phone would slow to a crawl from the market trying to update 3-4 apps at once. None of them were apps I chose either. The most annoying one was Google Maps.
2. Free paid App everyday.
This is probably the main reason I still have this market downloaded. And you might be thinking something along the lines of "They must give you a crappy app". This is not true! The free paid app of the day comes directly from the list of Top Paid apps. And while some aren't that great (For example, Gentle Alarm, the app that is free today), most are. My favorite app that has come out is Zenonia 2. I would say it is the best rpg for the android os. It is normally five dollars, and I was absolutely excited when I saw it was the free app of the day. Hours of fun.
Cons:
1. At&t restrictions
For those who have an android phone under at&t, you know that you cannot download third party apps. That pretty much means those with at&t can't download the amazon appstore, and if you do figure out a way, (Who hasn't) you really can't use the appstore to download any of the apps, which renders it pointless!
2. Strings Attached?
I have read in multiple reviews for the appstore and apps themselves that all the apps require you to have the amazon appstore downloaded and signed in. One disgruntled reviewer wrote about disconnecting his account, and being asked to sign in when trying to run his application. If this is true, and I can't say it is, that sucks!

Mothers Day!

Happy Mothers Day!

Today we celebrate our mothers and thank them for taking all the crap we have given them over the years. Haha I know mine has! But I have came to a problem: I don't have a Mothers Day gift! Thank god for google!

Last Minute Mother's Day Ideas

For those too lazy to go to the link, I'll simply quote them!

"1. Most gas stations have single roses that you can pick up on the fly.

2. If all else fails, there’s always a Starbucks or Peet’s Coffee & Tea gift card you can purchase. They are open late, so you should have no problem grabbing one last minute.

3. Head to a local grocery store and pick up a small plant from the floral department. Stores likeTrader Joe’s have a nice assortment and even better prices.

4. Take mom out to breakfast or lunch at one of the many places in town like Mollie’s Country Kitchenor do it up at the Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel.

5. Take in a movie and tell her it’s her choice. Break out the old wallet and treat her to a big bag of popcorn and a drink—even if these concession items cost more than the movie itself, you'll look like the big spender. "

 There are some simple and quick ideas. Remember guys, It's the thought that counts!

Osama

Yes it is old news by now but I haven't yet commented on it. Osama Bin Laden is dead! Unfortunately, I'm not feeling all the patriotism that everyone seems to have. The main reason for my lack of joy over this is the results of his death. Guess what, there really aren't any good results. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan aren't going to end any time soon. I guess the whole point of killing Osama Bin Laden at this point was vengeance. Plain and simple. I don't honestly believe that taking one persons life for another's should be common practice. Isn't it hypocritical to hate on killing and then go right back and kill the killer. It's just a silly loop to me.
