netflix raped blockbuster. its funny to think how the next generation is not going to know what BlockBuster is. in 5 years, no one is going to buy DVDs. everything is going to get streamed online, or the “internet”. Just like Netflix raping Blockbuster. The Ipad and Kindle raped Borders. It’s sad to think Borders is closing, one of my favorite things to do in life was go to Borders and read the magazines. as much as I loved Borders and Barnes and noble, if I wanted to buy a book, I always bought it on amazon. this is def just the first death of all brick and mortar businesses. GameStop is going to close altogether within 5 years. If you’re a gamer, why wouldn’t you buy your games on amazon? Radio Shack, dead. Barnes and Nobles’ days are numbered. Big 5, dead.

google is taking over the world. Just like the NBA being filled with superteams. I feel like Google, Apple, and Amazon are taking over. Google is just nasty. Everything about it is sick. GOOG’s stock? Just a cool $622/share. disgusting. I remember back in January, GOOG offered to buy Groupon for $6. Groupon CEO said no, and watch out, GoogleOffers is in beta testing in the bay area. It’s pretty much identical to groupon and living social. So sick, I’ve bought 3 googoffers in the past 2 weeks already. if you’re groupon ceo, how do you feel right now? Why wouldn’t you sell for 6 billion? Its not like it’s a concept that can’t be easily imitated. facebook daily deals is coming for sure, it's just a matter of time, right? I remember when I thought restaurant.com was the best idea ever, lol look at them now. They send me an email every other day saying “70%off”!

Google+! I don’t even understand it yet, but I’m sure it’ll be in the twitter/facebook realm sometime soon. How about Google’s cloud service and video streaming, youtube connection, they have it all. Google documents! Who uses word and excel anymore? They’re nothing compared to googDocs. So sick, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. Netflix is a giant, but Goog is going to rape NFLX too. Pandora? If you’re Pandora CEO, you better just be quiet and hope that Google doesn’t try and fuck with you.



oh shizz

to know

wow

jersey shore season rankings.
1. 1st season- can't beat the original season, i've seen each episode an average of 5 times. that's a lot of hours. i still watch the fights and say "oh shit" like it was the first time i've seen it
2. 3rd season- great season, good mixture of fights, hookups, and ronnie&sammie drama. great tv
3. 4th season- although this trailer looks pretty decent, you can tell that the producers don't have much to work with. the situation-ronnie fight should be awesome. but that's about it. when situation saying there's something between him and snooki. that was for-sure just a stupid hypothetical comment. and the producer was trying to make it seem bigger than it actually is. this season is going to disappoint.
4. 2nd season- miami was disappointing. i mean i liked it, but still. too much episode time about ronnie and sammie drama. i can't really remember anything else that happened during this season. angelina-snooki fight i guess. fuck shoe closets

that i used to know

it's called bachelor soup. you buy a rotisereee chicken at the grocery store for $5. you buy the chicken noodle soup in the red box and some saltine crackers. you pause the Giants game. make the soup, cut up about 1/3 of the rotiserrie chicken and put it in the soup so the chicken to noodle ratio is extremely high. take the soup back to the tv, un-pause the giants game, eat straight out of the pot, dip the saltine crackers. bachelor soup

just bought the first 2 seasons of Breaking Bad on DVD. i have hbo so i'm going to watch the new season Entourage. yeeeeeeee, i still have to watch the last season. just bought it on amazon, i forgot it came out already. so my plan is to record the new season, watch the last season when i get it from amazon, then watch my DVR recordings.

arbitrage homie. i went to great clips, the haircut costs $12. the promotion was if you buy a $50 gift card, the haircut is free. eh, so i bought the gift card. depending on how you look at it, i bought the $50 gift card for $38. Or I paid $50 for $62 worth of value. so in an ideal situation, i would sell the $50 gift card to someone for a small discount, like $48. If this person is a regular Great Clips customer AND doesn't know about the promotion, THEN he saves $2, and I make $10. does that make sense? unfortunately, there are no great clips gift cards on ebay. this isn't realistic, but let's say if i did list it on ebay, and with fees and everything included, i receive $42 back. then for each giftcard/haircut i buy, I make $4. So the haircut would only be $8, instead of $12. WHATTHEFUCK



best product of the year, $500 a box. so disgusting vid

when it comes to international sports, i surprise myself at how anti-american i am. in the world baseball classic, i'm 100% for japan, and we dominate. the Little League world series, the japanese kids are so sick, always favorites to win it all. i become legit Japanese during the LLWS, i don’t want to see those punkass spoiled American kids win it all. the American kids are so racist it’s not even funny. i missed the women’s soccer match, but caught the replay last night. it felt so good, can’t let these cocky americans win. i wish i knew some japanese so i can say something badass. itadakimasu i guess
is it bad when you root against ben affleck and josh hartnett in the movie Pearl Harbor? cause I didn’t do that

i’m not a huge fan of my current landlord. she’s around the house all the time during the day (there's been lots of remodeling), and she’s always bugging all of the tenants to keep it clean. i’m never around during the day, so i don’t hate her as much as the others. but out of the 5 tenants, zero are renewing their lease. hate. but it’s interesting, the landlord has deposits (1 month's rent) for all of us, which basically means she owns us. if she calls me a punkass bitch to my face, what can i say? if i tell her she’s ugly and her english sucks, then i can kiss 100% of my deposit goodbye. is that worth $630 dollars to me? no way.

but then wait, what if she’s actually super badass. what if she’s on phil ivey’s level, what if she is trying to annoy all of us, hoping that we panic and call her ugly, then she has justification to keep our deposits. if you think about it, it's borderline genius, mind-rape at its best. it’s like if deshawn stevenson got inside KOBEEE’S head. if deshawn gets KOBEEE to swing at him, and they both get ejected, deshawn Stevenson wins. btw, no one gets inside KOBEEE’S head, but KOBEEE. ok, done with the kobe talk.
the plan. bite my tongue, collect the deposit, move out, and vandalize. I WIN.

TANAKA FLAKA!!

Intervention is back. i think intervention is the only show that i watch where i give my undivided attention. pretty sure it’s the best show on tv. but my question is, don’t the drug addicts know that there are no “documentaries about addiction”. don't they have one addict friend that asks them "wait, could dis be dat award winning TV show on A&E?" of course it’s an INTERVENTION dipshit, don’t act surprised. last week’s episode was probably one of the few times i’ve been disappointed. he was an alcoholic. wtf, i don’t want to see an alcoholic, i want to see heroin or cocaine addicts. what’s special about an alcoholic? everyone knows someone that they think is an alcoholic. it’s all good, tonight’s episode: cocaine addict

i’ve probably asked about 20 people this question. would you try cocaine for 10k? i think it’s honestly 50/50 with people saying yes and no. i think I’ve gone back and forth, first it was yes. i thought, i’ll do it once, no big deal, never do it again in my life. bang, 10k. then i thought no, what if i liked it? that would be bad. what if my kids ask me if i’ve ever done cocaine? ugh. it'll def disappoint friends and family. so NAHHH. even if i did say i would do it, it would be a different story when the cocaine is actually in front of me. no balls

i need to tone down my sarcasm. i talk to jill on aim at work sometimes, and she always tells me that i’m too sarcastic and need to “knock it off”, or something like that. ok jill. people always tell me “grant, I never know when you’re kidding.” blah before russ “clogs” uchizono came to sf last weekend, he texted me “hey so everyone’s down to golf.” i replied “Fuck you”. and i forgot to say just kidding or anything. no more sarcasm. i wanna be a straight shooter.

i wanna kick it in the backseat

on to the next

russ greg and jt were in sf for the weekend. we were drinking a bit before going out on saturday, i JOKINGLY said that we should do ecstasy together to ensure a better night. russell HONESTLY responds “I’ve got too much riding on my life.” lol who is this guy? How is this any different than lebron taking his talents to south beach? he didn’t say WE, he said I. according to russ, i do not have much riding on my life and therefore should do drugs intervention-style

we were doing a lap around the ball park. We are in right field, all walking together, I look at some dude, stop walking, and hit jt in the arm. it’s the guy from slumdog mirrionaire! Jamaaaal. one of my top 12 favorite movies. we walk past him and stop, he’s talking to some dude. Jt “neverme” tanaka decides to ask for a picture. Blah blah blah, he rejects us, says there are too many people around. scottmizuno.com takes pictures with Dwight howard and kevin durant, i get rejected by Jamaal from slumdog mirriornaire. he’s cooler

at the giants game, greg asked if there was a megatron outside of the ball park so people can watch the game. I laughed but knew he meant jumbotron and said 'no, no megatron.' then russ “toomuch” uchizono tells greg that there’s an optimus prime in right field.

cloth belts, russ and THE MOVE with indyC, russ not waking up after I kept throwing shit at him, JcCHGENSKY, missing the 4th of july jets.

i'm not exactly sure why i was so happy to see that chris hansen (from dateline NBC), was caught on camera cheating on his wife. just a sidenote, i think to catch a predator is probably one of the most interesting shows i've ever seen. I still watch re-runs and find it interesting. but i dont know, when i heard about chris cheating, i was sort of happy. he's kind of a dickwad on the show. i mean, i guess he has to be, but he bugs me sometimes. he just LOVES to say "do you watch tv? well, i'm chris hansen from Dateline NBC and we're doing a story..." shut up chris, you're not that cool. i mean, yeah, the guys are disgusting pedophiles, but i dont know, they messed up, but do you have to embarrass the shit out of them. i know that it makes better tv, but still. sometimes, when the guys are super sick in the head, i want chris to grill them, read the transcripts, embarrass them. you brought your kid with you? you're a rabbi who wants to meet up with a teenage boy? get em chris. but for some of the guys, do you really have to be such a douchebag. maybe they honestly just wanted to talk to the 13-year old girl. maybe they honestly do carry condoms with them at all times. let me be clear, i do not support pedophiles.

the next time someone tells me "dude i'm broke". i'm just going to ask them "wait, so you have zero dollars? oh, my bad, here, take my subway gift card that i purchased on ebay for 90% of its face value.
