The president to be on the Daily show

That's right, apparently Barrack Obama is going to be on the Daily show with Jon Stewart this Wednesday.

I now leave you with this video:

Why do sports get priority?

Last week on Sunday instead of playing a new episode of The Simpsons they have a baseball game, and on TBS there was a commercial saying that once the MLB games are done than regular programing will continue. Why is it that sports get priority over other stuff on TV? Why is it that people like me that don't particularly like any sports have to miss show because some game is on. I find that unfair. They should just find a time slot that isn't taken by a new episode of The Simpsons. A rerun of one of their other shows are fine, but not during new shows, that isn't fair.

Sorry

I haven't realized it's been three days since my last update, so I will try to cover a few things on this post.

First, for those of you who can't go to The rally to restore sanity and/or fear, comedy central will be streaming it live.

Second, I can't think of a second thing.

I guess I will leave you with the video "Meticulous analysis of history". It's from a show called pinky and the brain that I use to watch when I was a kid.

My diet so far

I believe it was earlier this month when I said that I would try and improve my life style, and so far I'm doing moderately good. I managed to drop a notch on my belt.

The way I managed to do this is by exercising more and eating less sugar. Now before it comes off as saying I went to the gym I want to say I didn't step a foot in the gym. Why, because I'm lazy. When I said exercise I meant little things in your day to day life. If you take the train, walk to the next station. If you usually take an escalator take the stairs. When you wake up, do a couple of push ups.

I have also been more energetic this month.

I also have one last thing to say before I end this post, I will be having a live call in episode this Saturday at 6:30pm. If you want a link to my talkshoe page, look at one of the earlier posts.

Top five time travel shows/movies

I was looking on the internet for a good movie about time travel. Most of what I found was just a top 10 list, so I decided to make my top 5 list. Let's begin:

5. The girl who leapt through time- Despite that this movie is anime it's still fairly good. It's about a girl who accidentally gets the ability to jump through time by leaping, literally leaping.

4. Back to the future- I don't think I need to describe this movie to anyone.

3. Twelve monkeys- This movie is about a man who is accidentally sent to the wrong time period, and after several jumps attempts to change the past. In doing so, however, he ends up causing the events he was trying to prevent.

2. The time machine (2002)- This is the 2002 remake of the movie about the book. I haven't seen the original movie, but the remake was really good. It's about a man who makes a time machine attempting to save his girlfriend, but no matter what he does she ends up dying anyway. He then goes to the future to learn why he can't change the past, but after one jump he hit's his head and the time machine goes to 8,000,000 A.D.

I'm not going to tell you how it ends.

1. LOST season 5- To me this is the only show that has utilized time travel to satisfaction.

After Ben turns the frozen donkey wheel under the Orchid station the Losties sporadically jumps through time until John Locke turns the wheel again, leaving the group in 1974. The Losties on the island joins the DHARMA Initiative, while those who left the island comes back and some land in 1977 while the rest land in 2007. After learning that the group has returned to the past, Daniel Faraday comes back to the island with a plan to change the past, to detonate Jughead, a hydrogen bomb from 1954, in the pocket of electromagnetism at the Swan site to prevent the incident.

It turns out that they were the ones that caused the incident, and after hitting the plutonium core at the bottom of a well, the group is transported back to 2007.

If any of these interest you, be sure to check them out.

The video

Here is the segment from The daily show with Jon Stewart I told you about yesterday.

The rally to restore sanity and/or fear

On last nights episode of The daily show with Jon Stewart they announced that The rally to restore sanity and The march to keep fear alive has become one. It turns out that Steven Colbert, the person who was leading The march to keep fear alive, didn't get a permit. So Jon just put Colbert's name on the permit as well. This was no doubt planned from the start, but it was still interesting to watch. I will leave a link to the rally's official sit, check it out if you are interested.

Our President is a celebrity

About two hours ago I was flipping through the channels and saw president Obama on. I can't recall exactly what channel it was, but the credits say it was an MTV production. Mr. President, I know that the future isn't looking bright for the Democrats, but MTV is not the answer. One of the reasons why I hear you being criticized for is for being on TV too much.

I know you have done more for this country than a lot of people understand, but it worries me when the president of the United States is on MTV.

Why I didn't post yesterday

Yesterday I said that I will be doing another post (I think), so I'm going to explain why I didn't. I fell asleep. Guess I was more tired than I thought. Before coming home yesterday I went back to borders to return that book I bought two days ago and to buy a better one. I did that no problem. When I got home I guess I was more tired than I thought because I just laid down on the couch and slept, until 10:30. Yes, somehow I managed to sleep for four and a half hours, before eating dinner even. When I woke up I decided that it was too late to even be bothered to turn on my computer so I decided to leave it until today.

For those of you who are even slightly curious as to what book I bought after returning the last one was "The assault on Reason" by Al Gore. I also bought a book called "Ask a ninja presents: The ninja handbook". Why did I do this, because I have no self control. It seems that whenever I go to borders I end up purchasing twice as much as originally intended.

How I wasted my time and money

Earlier today I went to go pick up a book from borders called "Idiot America". After about an hour of searching (conveniently missing that one shelf every time) I purchased the book and went home. After settling in I picked up the book I started to read and that's when I found out I made a mistake in buying the book, because it sucked. It was a chore to get past the first chapter. I have no idea how it managed to become a bestseller. Tomorrow I plan on going back to the store and return the book. I just hope they allow returns.

This experience has taught me a lesson; be absolutely sure about the book you're going to buy, or else you could end up making a similar mistake that I made.

Bill Maher: New Rules

I was on youtube yesterday when I found this clip from the show Real Time with Bill Maher. It was funny so I'd thought I'd share it with you. Also you will be unable to find it on youtube anymore because of some stupid copyright law. Hopefully this video will be able to be seen here.

Waiting for Superman

Waiting for superman is a new documentary out about America's public school systems. I am not sure if I can recommend this yet since I haven't seen it, but the film is already out so you could at least read a review to learn what it's about. I'm glad that somebody made a film on this subject because I feel this is one of the most important problems in America.

There is also a book out which the documentary is based on. So if you don't want to watch the film at least read the book.

The blister on my foot

I understand this is probably the last thing you want to read about but it finally got too odd I just had to tell someone about it. A couple weeks ago I got a blister on the bottom of my foot and since then it was a mass of dead skin with an air pocket. I popped the air pocket with a hot pin and now there is a mass of dead flesh on the bottom of my foot. Leave a comment telling me what you think I should do.

Free episodes of The Simpsons online

I was just searching on google the other day when I ran into a website that has most of The Simpsons episodes online for free, instead of iTunes that charges you 99 cents an episode. They have all the episodes except for seasons one through four. I will leave a link at the end of this post. The reason for informing you about this is because if you're like me then you will want to watch stuff for free. Enjoy.

I'm cutting back on the poison

The past few months I've been eating a lot of pastries and fast food, but I'm tired of putting all that poison into my body so I'm going to try and cut back a little at a time until I'm off it for good. I may not be particularly over weight, but I'm not exactly what you will call healthy either. I plan to be off of the stuff by the holidays, and by that I mean the holidays after thanksgiving. Nobody can go thanksgiving without some form of pastry. Unless you don't live in America, then it's fairly easy.

The new Family Guy episode

I just watched the new Family Guy episode and it was surprisingly good. I tried watching the series before but I just couldn't get into it. Then today I was on Hulu.com and I saw the new episode on the home page so I decided to give it one last try, and I enjoyed it. I'm not sure if the rest of the season will be any good, but at least I had an enjoyable half hour.

The decline in quality of television

Is it just me, or does it seem that every new show, and most returning shows, seem to not be as good as previous shows? Hawaii Five-0 and Castle were a let down for me, even The Simpsons and The Office wasn't as good as they use to be. It seems to me that most show writers no longer care about the quality of their shows.

Truth be told if it wasn't for The daily show with Jon Stewart, The Colbert Report, and Real time with Bill Maher I wouldn't be watching television anymore. If there is one thing that I want the upcoming winter season to give me is at least one decent show.

A slight delay

I'm sorry for the two of you that listen to my podcast, but I have been caught in some unexpected business and will have to delay the podcast till 8pm tomorrow.

Bad Weather, podcast update, and a video

It's been raining all week here in New York. Fortunately it seems that today was supposedly the last day of this horrid storm. I don't know how it's been like in other states, but be happy you don't live in New York right now (unless if your weather was worse than ours).

I have an announcement pertaining to the podcast that I feel important to say now, and repeat on the podcast tomorrow. If I stay on a schedule the podcast will be unable to reach it's full potential and just die off. So I will only be having an episode whenever I have a topic that I feel like discussing, or if a subject was requested by a listener. You can be notified of upcoming episodes by following it's twitter The_Geekcast. For those of you that want to suggest an episode topic you can email me at faradayspodcast@gmail.com, or at the facebook page

Finally I leave you with this video I found on youtube. Enjoy.
