End of the Week: 08/22/10- 08/28/10...and An Announcement

END OF THE WEEK:

I want to start things off with an announcement. Tomorrow night, there is a very good chance that I might be live blogging this year's Primetime Emmy awards on my MySpace site. I just figured that since I did it last year and spent three posts back in July giving my predictions on it, I might as well go ahead and give it the special live blog treatment that I have only done for two different events in this site's history. Like last year, I will start covering the show between 6:30 p.m-6:45 p.m. and will finish just as the final award (most likely Outstanding Drama) will be given out. While I give my updates and opinions on the things going on, be sure to stop by and join in the fun as well.
Now, I say "very good chance" because I am still not 100% sure if I will be doing the live blog in the first place. I got some stuff going on tomorrow and I'm not sure if I will be able to finish doing it all before the award show. In that is to be case, expect some kind of a running diary post similar to the ones Bill Simmons does after every NBA draft and like my White Sox game diary post I back in August of '09. So be sure to come back tomorrow evening and find out what happens.
With that said, it's time for another installment of "End of the Week." From Glenn Beck to Tiger Wood's divorce, here are my picks for some of the week's bests. Enjoy.

Video of the Week: IT'S A TIE! Looks like the comedy website College Humor.com gave the Internet this past week two videos that were both really good in their respective ways. They are:

"I Am Afraid (Eminem Parody)"
Good video, but the guy forgot about parrots. A bird that can mimick human sound and looks like the bastard child of an eagle and a peacock? It's just not right.










AND
"Don Draper's College Orientation"
Give the guy a break! It's not his fault he was taken away from the 1950s and has to adjust to 21st century life so quickly!










Rally of the Week: Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" Rally
I don't want to say that there was a lot of white people, but I haven't seen so many of them flock in big numbers to watch something was the last episode of "Friends."

Story of the Week:
-The Actual Story of the Week: The Trapped Chilean Miners Story
- The Tiger Woods Saga of '09 Memorial Story of the Week: Tiger Woods-Elin Nordegren Divorce Finalized
According to some reports, Nordergen should receive somewhere between $100 million to $750 million in the settlements. So, kids, let this be a lesson to you: instead of trying to become wealthy the right way through hard work and discipline, just marry a really rich person without signing a prenup and hope that person cheats on you.

Person of the Week: Glenn Beck
Love him or hate him, you gotta give this guy some credit where credit is due. After all, how many people can actually convince tens of thousands of (white) men and women across the country to come to Washington D.C. in a place where 47 years ago Dr. Martin Luther king held his famous "I Have a Dream" speech just to hold some rally about...something? Not many, that's for sure.

And that's the way it is! Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and I will see you again tomorrow night...I think.
Sincerely,
Your pal: mj15
