Social Media Week in New York City

Somehow the social (media) butterfly that I am has managed to not notice that this week is Social Media Week in New York. Yes, I am ashamed but to make up for my incompetence, I'll share the schedule with you, whoever you are that may be reading my blog. Check out the schedule by clicking here and if you're feeling extra social media-y, you can tweet this post below so others can be as informed as you. Pass it forward, brethren, pass it forward.

The Only Post I Will Ever Write about Glee

So listen, I've watched one Glee episode up until last night. I don't really have a strong opinion about the show at all. But last night, like myself millions of unsuspecting football aficionados who were too full on chips and salsa to find the remote, watched at least some portion of Glee last night. I, returning from a friends apartment to my own, turn on my television to see if they were still celebrating Green Bay's Super Bowl victory on the field, only to find Glee on. I continued to watch because there was drama but was glad that I watched because there was this:

Watch it now and don't hate because you know that it's ill.

I'm not saying that I'm going to start watching Glee now buuuuuut that was kinda crazy. Well done teeny bopper show of our generation, well done.

The McBain Movie

Have you ever watch the Simpsons watch TV? If they were watching a movie, it was probably a McBain movie. McBain is something like their James Bond with a Lethal Weapon feel, since he's a cop. Someone took the time to put together some McBain clips that form into an actually story line. Those Simpson creators are genius.

See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor.

There's a lot more blood than I ever remember from the Simpsons buuuuut I like it.

The Definition of Yaowa

How best to put all the conversation to rest?!?! Have Joell Ortiz, himself, tell you what me means. (This is probably old but it's new to me so screw all of you that knew this already)

The Michael Jackson Experience

So... I've heard about this game and I thought that it would be corny and the Wii version actually does look pretty corny. But at the same time, it's Michael Jackson's music and a cartoon version of him dancing on screen so it's kinda cool.

The real baller, less corny, top secret reason that this game isn't all that corny and more than kinda cool is the version they're releasing for Microsoft's Kinect (If you don't know about Kinect, it's like Wii but without a remote and it's an attachment for XBox. Look whatever else you want to know about it up, I'm not Wikipedia; this is Wikipedia). Basically, with the Kinect, it'll be handsfree and the game will put a computer generated image of you (yes you, in your pajama clothed self... unless you play naked which is totally cool if A, you're alone and B, you don't plan to play online) on the screen! That's cool. Straight up cool as hell.

Old Spice is Trippin'

I mean that in the best way possible: http://www.youtube.com/user/oldspice

These videos are killing me. Terry Crews is hilarious. He's like the second coming of Leroy Smith, who if you don't know, you're late and you should handle that void in your life. smh.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to all of y'all and your peoples!

I called my mother today to speak about going to visit later and to say Happy Easter. Here is an excerpt from our conversation:

Mama Perf: Happy Easter J!
Perf: Happy Easter ma!
Mama Perf: When are you coming over?
Perf: Well, Do you know if Jesus woke up yet? I was gonna wait for him to get up first, since, you know, it's his day and all...

Welcome Spring

The last few weeks have been Spring in a nutshell! I've been enjoying baseball, the weather has been both very outstanding with too much sun and very annoying with too much rain and skirts. Anyone who knows me, knows I enjoy what I call Skirt Weather. It means I can go out in some shorts and just hang out and that ladies, if they feel the need, can rock the mini or the pencil or the pleaded (I, as many other men, hope that they feel the need).

Last night, I went to a College Alumni party that was amazing. Mostly because they provided us with free alcohol for a very, very long time. I must say, Wesleyan University, you disappoint me often but last night, I loved you... but don't get use to it. Also, check this bs out: So Wes has students that call you up during the night trying to pinch pennies and get you to donate to the school (F*** THAT) and one of those little mofos called me WHILE I WAS AT THIS WESLEYAN ALUMNI PARTY! Like WTF?! Ugh. Just a bit annoyed. Sorry for internet yelling, I won't do it often. Promise!

My roommate just got home from Mexico! I have to go hang out with her; she's much more responsive than y'all. *Kanye shrug*

Today, I'm going to go kick it with my boys, play a little football and enjoy the outstanding weekend ahead. I suggest you do the same!

Fool!

In case you didn't realize, it's April Fools Day! So don't get played, ese! And if you do get made a fool of, you can't blame me! I warned you!

Remember, I'm on your team... or should I say, you're on my team and you're just a possible casualty.

Slowly, yet Surely

Slowly, yet surely, yours truly is beginning to realize his greatness... Well, maybe I should say that others are beginning to realize my greatness; I've been telling my friends and acquaintances since I realized this myself some point during my high school career.

To be more specific, I had a job interview today that went flawlessly well. That's never really happened before. I usually end up saying one thing that I wish I phrased differently or made more eye contact or insert random, nervous thing anyone does on an interview. If I don't get this job, then Donald Trump or someone else must be getting it. I felt very comfortable at the organization (who's name I will withhold in case I start working there and I get stalked on the internet! When you're this great (and black) the internet police will come looking for you. Well, I guess anything described as police will look for you when you're black but yeah)...

Anyway, I was busy writing thank you notes to the three people I met with today (I do this every time because my roommate works as a recruiter and she forces me to [and yes I have a woman as a roommate and no I am not dating her, we are the best of friends!] as she says it's more professional or some other ish) and I get another job interview inquiry from a school! I'm pretty pumped actually.

To dive into a small bit of history, I have gone back and forth with the notion of becoming a teacher. Some days I think that it's what I'm meant to do and other days, I don't know how I would survive! I love kids but something about being a teacher seems much more difficult than being their camp counselor or tutor. So I was talking to a friend who is a teacher and who is so passionate about what she does and absolutely loves her children... and I got jealous. The next week I wrote a very intense cover letter describing my love of children and my back and worth war with teaching. I doubt anyone would actually read the 85 gazillion pages I wrote but some dude at this one school did and now they want to meet with me?! What?! I'm just over here living the dream of (f)unemployment, getting contacted by jobs that I actually want!

Slowly, yet surely, I'm becoming even greater. No casualties to list thus far but do stay tuned.

REALLY?!

Hello Internet,

I've been apart of a blog with a bunch of friends for sometime but many of us stopped writing consistently. The slacking, in which we all participated in, came after President Obama was elected. Come to think about it, myself and the blog's other creator began the blog as a sort of web campaign for our President... so we really didn't have expectations after his election.

But it's all in the past now! Here I am to concentrate on my favorite subject of all time: me! The "REALLY?!" in the title refers to the fact that whyimhated.blogspot.com was available! No one wanted that yet?! In the words of the great Ed Lover, C'mon son!

After I relearn how to do all the fancy stuff like use a different template, add pictures, create an "after the jump" jumpoff and other cool stuff, this blog is gonna be on and popping. It will be very random, as I am one to be entertained by very random things; so prepare to be entertained, if even minimally. On my rise to the greatness, there will be casualties. Hopefully you will not be one of them.

You know what everyone says... don't judge a blog by it's first post. Well, unless you're judging that it's gonna be awesome. In that case, judge away brothers and sisters, judge as much as you please.
