The DJ who's not a DeeJay

I'm lagging in my blog posts. Can't think of anything in particular to mention so I'll just post my random thoughts as which I usually have loads of.

1. Caught a glimpse of the Pacquiao-Solis boxing match. After the bout, I saw statistics displayed on the screen like number of jabs, number of direct hits and so forth. I just had to think of who does the counting during the match. It can't be automated and so someone has to do the counting. What do you call that kind of job ? Punch counter ? Jab specialist ? Hit statistics consultant ?

2. Why is it that no matter how hot the weather is, I'll always enjoy a hot cup of coffee or tea ?

3. My celphone's battery seems bloated but easily drains within a day. Isn't it supposed to be thinner if it performs less ?

4. The best time to weigh yourself is after a shower and you're just wearing a towel. Weighing with clothes just adds to your weight.

5. No matter how organized I may be, I still feel the need to organize the way I organize.

6. If I had it my way and had the chance to pick a body part to be perfect, I would choose my hands.

7. I've survived more than half a year not wearing a watch. For someone who's time conscious, I dunno how I did it.

8. I'm thinking of auctioning a used 2006 calendar on Ebay just to see if anybody would bid.

9. A mosquito kept me awake till 5 in the morning. I think it found my blood delicious and made me an eat-all-you-can meal.

10. If I could swim everyday, I would.

I had the TV on this afternoon while working and I happened to catch the beginning of a movie I didn't know what the title was. I just knew the star was Jamie Kennedy of the Jamie Kennedy Experiment gag show. I saw he held a mask which was very similar to Jim Carrey's mask in his movie "The Mask".

I immediately searched for the movie on the net and learned that it's a sequel to Jim Carrey's movie and it's entitled "Son of The Mask".

The longer I was watching the movie, the more it sucked big time. I have never watched a movie that was so poorly directed. I dunno why I even bothered to finish the movie. I guess it was to bash the movie more. I checked out some online movie reviews and one review even mentioned that this may be the worst movie of 2005. I couldn't agree more.

This afternoon, I had the chance to watch some cartoon shows on Nickelodeon, particularly Dora The Explorer and Little Bear.

I've been introduced to Dora The Explorer a couple of months ago by a 2 year old adorable girl who loves everything about Dora and even started to look like Dora herself.

I wasn't familiar with the cartoon but saw lots of merchandise with the Dora character in the form of shoes, shirts, toys, bags, towels and almost every possible item a child would love to own.

I got to watch a full Dora cartoon earlier. The characters and plots are so simple matched with Dora's over-excited voice and enthusiasm. She loves to sing and dance and interact with the viewers.

The next cartoon that showed was Little Bear and the first time I ever encountered it. It was similar to The Three Bears in terms of characters with the Mama Bear, Papa Bear and little bear. Little Bear had some friends, a cat, an owl, a duck and one more (I forgot) which can all speak.

What struck me was that it was such a nice alternative to the majority of songs and shows on TV that carry profanity, sex, violence, and striking topics. I'm sooo used to seeing and hearing all that, that watching the cartoons on NickJr. became such a delight. I guess you do find enjoyment in the simplest of things.
