Last night I watched the movie Celeste & Jesse Forever, starring Andy Samberg and Rashida Jones. Last night I learned that this is the saddest movie I have ever seen. I really liked the movie, even though it made me depressed even after the movie had ended (for a few days).

Although I was sad most of the time while watching, there are still parts where you LOLimp (“Laugh Out Loud in my pants,” everything is better when you add “in my pants” to it).

Several people had told me this movie was really sad before I watched it, but I decided to watch it anyways because I love Andy Samberg and Rashida Jones.

I am writing this now after watching the movie Thursday night. Friday night I was telling a friend about the movie and just thinking about it made me a little sad, I just thought ‘why’d it have to be like that?’

I guess what I’m saying is you should watch Celeste & Jesse Forever, but be prepared to cry. Even when the movie is over be prepared to continue crying, and have something funny or happy ready to watch right after. Get ready to cry more than when you saw the Notebook for the first time.

This week I learned nothing, because I am on vacation and my brain is turned off. I have been reading a lot though on the beach. So I guess I learned a little. I read a book about a Steven Callahan, who was lost at sea for 76 days (the book is called ADRIFT). I learned some ocean survival tactics and also that I would probably die out there after a few days. All the dude had to eat was fish, and guess what, I don’t like fish.

I finished that book in 4 days (all 237 pages). That was a new record for me (previous record: hunger games in 8 days).

Since I finished reading that I started reading ?uestlove’s (drummer from the roots) book. So far it’s a good story about his life and the music that got him to where he is now. Now I have a lot of new, old music to listen to.

Lastly, I found out that my homeboy, JFalz just had his first baby, Winnie Fallon. I can’t wait to one day meet this baby.

So I guess I did learn some stuff this week. Even with my brain set on off.

This week I learned that it was Perm Week on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. If you don’t know this already, I am a huge fan of James Tiberius Fallon and everybody at the LNJF show. Jimmy Fallon is the reason I know what Perms are. It was a few years ago when Perm week started that I realized “Oh, that’s what a Perm is!”

Perms are awesome, and we should bring them back. However, the Perm is not the all star of Perm week. The all star is the Perm Week song, sung by the great Tuba Gooding Jr. (of the Roots).

Now, I feel like I should have Permed my hair before cutting it (is that how you say it? Permed my hair?) Getting a perm would have been totally awesome. People tell me they like my new haircut, but I’m sure if I had a perm even strangers would compliment my sweet hairdo*.

*side learning: I just learned that hairdo is one word, using google. I was guessing it was either hair due or hair do, but I never thought it would be one word. That’s crazy. I guess I have never had to write that before.

This video is of the final perm of the week. Watch it to hear the official Perm Week song, but keep watching. I think Day 5 was the best Perm of the week (and so did JFalz).

I hope you enjoyed Perm Week. You should probably look up the other Perm Week videos. Even the ones from last year. Enjoy your weekend, or whatever.

P.S. Google Rocks, Bing does not..

I call these “the lost learnings” because they are the things I have learned lately, but forgot to tell you about. Some of them I didn’t feel were important. Some were kind of stupid. Others I just forgot that I learned and have now been reminded of them (when I searched through my iPhone and iPad). So here comes a rapid fire short list of recent learnings:

–Fixies: I saw the movie Premium Rush recently, starring JGL (Joseph Gordon Levitt). In this movie he rides a fixie bike, with NO BRAKES! Some people say, “That’s stupid,” others say, “That’s Bad Ass!” I started off thinking it was Bad Ass, I did my research (online) to learn all about fixies, I was about to buy one, but I wasn’t ready (NO $$$). The other night I saw a good friend of mine from high school. I asked him about his bike, which looked like a fixie. He said “fixies are stupid” and he explained to me why. So, now I don’t think I want a fixie anymore (maybe a single speed or a roadie?)

–Florida SuperCON: This last weekend I went to Florida SuperCon, which is just a mini version of Comic Con that takes place in Miami (Comic Con is where nerds go to learn about nerd things). What I learned here is that there is now such thing as “sexy lady nerds.” I was expecting everyone there to be fat and smelly (well about 72% of the people there were fat and smelly). Of the 28% of people who weren’t fat and smelly, most of them were dressed as comic book people, movie characters or something I didn’t know about. Some were dressed in slutty halloween costumes (the nerd versions). It was really weird and awesome all at the same time. I can’t wait to one day go to a real San Diego Comic Con!

–Dogs Drinking: If you are ready to have your mind explode (from science) watch the video above. I was watching Time Warp videos one day at Razorfish (Time Warp is an awesome show from Discovery channel that shows you everything with slow motion cameras), and Sweet D told me to check this one out. How many of you thought that dogs drink water by making their tongue go up? WRONG! (Everyone thinks that, unless you seen this video, or are scientists). After seeing this video, not only was I amazed, but it made so much more sense. Have you ever tried to drink water like a dog, but the wrong way? Now try it like this (Tongue down) and see what happens.

–Doorwomen: In my building in New York we had a doorman, we actually had about 6 different doormen. Once you’re building has a doorman, or doormen you start to notice other buildings with doormen. One thing that I never saw in New York, a door woman.

This week I learned how racial profiling affects the bearded community at the airport. I learned on my way back from New York at La Guardia airport, when I made it through the TSA checkpoint in less than 10 minutes.

On my way to New York it took about 20-40 minutes, because they stopped me to search my bag (which was full of electronics). This time my bag had even more electronics in it (I came to New York with 4 external hard drives, but I’m leaving with 5).

So what I’m trying to say is I was checked at home due to racial profiling because of my appearance when I left for New York. Let’s check out a before and after picture and see who you would stop at the airport.

To the left is a picture of me when I left Miami to come up to New York. To the right is me with my new, grown up hair cut. Who do you think is more likely to get held back by TSA? Right, the one to the left (which is the one who did get stopped).

Having the TSA stop me, when I looked like a hobo with luggage in the airport, lets me know that they are doing their job (or at least trying too).

On another note, what’s up with Paula Deen, y’all?

This week I learned… What the crap? I just graduated from Miami Ad School yesterday… (Friday) so congratulations to me, and my other friends who graduated.

Ok, I knew this was gonna happen for a while, but graduation is kind of a big deal at MAS. You’re supposed to go up and give a presentation about what you learned, show your work or just talk crap for 3-5 minutes.

Since I’m in New York now for an internship, I was supposed to graduate and give my presentation at the Brooklyn school, but ain’t nobody got time fo that (that line is so 10 weeks ago…).

I decided I wasn’t going to go to the Brooklyn school for graduation, because it doesn’t feel like my school. I’ve been in New York for two quarters of my time at MAS, but I have only been to the school in Brooklyn about 3-5 times (for a class that ended up getting cancelled halfway thorough the quarter).

I spent 1 & a half years at the school in Miami (and 27 years of living in Miami). So, the Miami Ad School in Miami is “my school!”

I knew I wouldn’t make it back to Miami by 6pm on Friday, especially since it was our last official day at Razorfish (it looks like next Friday will be our non-official last day). I wanted to find a way to be in Miami for graduation with my friends. This is what I came up with (well me and Rei Roc):

This week I learned how to make a GIF (JIF or whatever the EFF you call it, but we will get to that later). This picture was taken the last time I was in New York, so sometime in October or November. It was taken with the intention of making it into a GIF (or whatever), and it took me until this week to finally learn how to make one [That’s 7 or 8 months for you non-Math Wizzerz (Wizzerz=plural of Wiz?)] (#doubleparenthesis).

So, I made this into a GIF, and it took me forever, but I did it. So, now it’s here and everyone can see it and love it and the world is a better place because of me, and nobody else.

I wanted to put this GIF on the interwebs, but I didn’t know how. Another hour went by figuring out how to get it on there to share it with the world. I had to learn what imgur.com is (I think it’s supposed to be pronounced: imager, but i see it as I-M-GRRRRR). For those of you who don’t know about this site, it’s a place for people to post things on the interwebs and be “trolls” ( a troll is someone who does what I do in real life, but on the interwebs; annoys people with stupid comments).

A few weeks ago, Steve Wilhite, the man who created the GIF, came out and told the world that it is actually pronounced “JIF.” Everyone freaked out, and now tries to correct me when I say Gif. I will not call it a “JIF,” sir. If you wanted it to be called a “JIF” you should have spelled it right, idiot. So, you decide to wait 25 years, until everyone is calling it a GIF to tell us we’re saying it wrong? Guess what Mr. Wilhite, you are saying it wrong, not us.

JIF is a peanut butter, and that’s all I have to say about that. Deuces.

This week I learned the difference between a Movie Premiere and Sneak Peek. I thought I had been to plenty of movie premieres back home, but what I was actually attending were sneak peeks (not the same, but still kind of cool).

A sneak peek is when they just show you the movie before it comes out, for free. I thought that was as good as it gets (but just wait, it gets better). I have been to a great deal of sneak peeks in Miami. I saw Hot Tub Time Machine, the Adjustment Bureau, She’s Out of my League and some other movies. I almost got to see the sneak peek of Bad Boys II back in the day, with Caron Butler (CB4) when he played for the Heat.

How did I almost see Bad Boys II sneak peek? We were at the movies seeing Terminator 3 or 4 (whichever one came out around that time). We met Caron Butler before our movie, buying popcorn and treats. He walked into a secret theater, and I told my friend “that’s a secret movie.” It was Bad Boys II, the week before it came out. We could have snuck into that for a real “sneak peek” (you know what I’m sayin’) instead of watching the silly and outdated Terminator.

A movie premiere is much different than a sneak peek. For a movie premiere there is a red carpet, celebrities, paparazzi, dress code, seat fillers, and even free food and drink if you’re lucky.

We were lucky enough to get tickets as “seat fillers” for the World Premiere of After Earth the other day. What a treat. First, we were able to watch After Earth with Big Willie and Jaden Smith, along with all the other actors from the movie. The director, M. Night Shamylan was even there and spoke about the movie before it started. When we walked in there was all the free popcorn and soda you could grab (we snuck in some m&m’s: pretzel).

Usually, when the audience applauds during a movie, it is stupid because no one important can hear you (ex. the actors, director, producers…). For a movie premiere, with the actors and director present, the audience should get excited. That way they know that the audience enjoys the movie. I can’t wait to go to my next movie premiere or sneak peek. I just love FREE movies, but you already knew this.

This week I learned that Chelsea would be playing Manchester City at Yankee Stadium. Actually, I learned this a while back, but I checked ticket prices and they were well over $100. When we saw that we decided we would not be going to the game.

What I actually learned this week, is that Stub Hub had some $50 tickets in the 300 level. I quickly called Daldo (my roommate/BFFFF) to let him know that I was buying these tickets right now.

The game is Saturday (the day this will be posted, so I wrote this before going to the game). I am very excited because this is my first futbol game (first real futbol game). Last year we went to a NY Red Bulls game, which was fun but it’s not the real deal. The field is smaller and the goal is tiny (also, the ball may be child sized?). Now I know why the MLS is the “retirement league” for Euro futbol stars, (it’s like if LeBron waited until he was in his 30s to go play college basketball, but worse).

It wasn’t until going to the Red Bulls game that I became a huge Chelsea FC fan. It also made me a NY Red Bulls fan (the only team from NY that I will ever support).

My obsession with Chelsea started from choosing them in FIFA (because I like to say their name in a British accent). I didn’t start waking up early weekend mornings to watch their matches until after going to see the Red Bulls play. Now, I may even love Chelsea more than the Marlins (but it’s hard to love the Marlins right now, even though I still believe they will make it to the World Series).

Today is the big game. I hope to learn something there that I can share with you all next week (if not I’m sure I’ll learn something somewhere else).
