Pretty nifty interactive map, displaying Obama's budget proposal. Never realized the Medicare program was the massive.

3 Trailers and a dud
Here are three movies, that I will enjoy illegally downloading.
Centurian - No official release date. This one looks bad ass, and a lot better than Robin Hood. Wish I didn't have to download this one.
Cop Out - Feb. 26th! I think this debuted on TV round the Superbowl, but definitely not this red-band version. Probably same old black cop/white cop action comedy, but something tells me it'll be much better than average, mostly because Tracy Morgan is insane and Kevin Smith(Silent Bob) is directing.
In other Kevin Smith news, relating to obesity, Smith recently got kicked off a Southwest flight because of weight issues. My applause to Southwest, and actually to Smith too, who buys two tickets for his fat ass. Not much of a hassle to shell out another 200 bucks on a seat when you're raking in millions, though.
Leaves of Grass - April 2nd. I'm actually thinking this might not be too good, but probably be worth wasting 2hrs of my time on the boat.
I know this will be a waste of time no matter what though.

Inventor unveils $7,000 talking sex robot.
Inventor unveils $7,000 talking sex robot. Why is this on CNN's bottom line update ticker? I don't know what's worse, that the robot exists or that CNN acknowledges this as news(definitely CNN). I'm getting sick of Wolf Blitzer and his fucking Costco sized situation room, with 13 flatscreens that make Jerry Jones jealous.
This post has nothing to do with bashing news channels, but I just saw that ticker while I starting writing and got upset.
February started today and I'm not looking forward to the rest of the month. I've got 3 cruises in the month. Two 5 day cruises and one 3 day cruise. About half the month out at sea, but that's not the bad part, it's the packing/loading/cleaning/packing that will happen almost everyday. It's not only February, but looking at the calender and it looks like up through mid-June, I'll be out at sea, around 60+ days. 40 of those will be in the Bering Sea. Super!
Anyway, I apologize for the off-week, still trying to keep that post count up, but its getting tough, especially being out at sea. Anyway, few interesting things I've found over the past few days...
Hopefully this link still works. Obama met with GOP to address the issues that are driving apart political parties. I've only watched 15 minutes of it(out of 65min), but apparently Obama was tremendous in addressing all of his "adversaries" questions and attempted critiques.
Check out the actual article for more of the story...http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/01/29/obama-goes-to-the-gop-lio_n_442331.html
This is so badass. 8-mile "run", called "Tough Guy" contest through barbed wire, fire, glass, and probably even WWII mines. Looked like fun.
I've always been a large sketch comedy fan, starting with Kids in the Hall, Mr. Show, of course periods of SNL, and most recently Human Giant. If none of you are familiar with Human Giant, I'd check it out, its where Aziz Ansari got his big start. Well, Funny or Die, Will Ferrel and Adam McCay's brain child, is putting together a sketch comedy show on HBO. I've yet to see an HBO original program that I have yet to be impressed with. Mix that in with Funny or Die and I expect some awesome results.
Check out the trailer below.
Will Ferrel, John C. Reiley, Don Cheadle, Fred Willard, David Spade, Zach Galifiankis. February might not suck as bad as I expect.
From The Frightened Rabbit - The Midnight Organ Fight. Album getting a lot of repeat on the Ipod right now.
