There's some wierd PPL in the states
Yeah I heard about that Yale student who was strangled and murdered, and she was supposed to get married that week. Its all over the news. They got a guy in custody who is a lab technician who they're saying is the main suspect. People that knew him are saying he's a control freak. He looks guilty honestly. He looks like he would be stupid enough to do something like that to an innocent girl who had everything going for her in life. R.I.P. Im glad they don't got any lonely lab technician psychos out here on Guam. People are generally happier and friendlier out here. Therefore, less likely to commit such heinous acts.

The Ultimate Fighter 10 gets Highest Ratings Ever (4.1 Million Viewers)

I watched the season premiere of TUF 10 with Kimbo Slice last night. Out of curiosity I typed in to google "TUF 10 Ratings" just to see if a lot of other people in the states watched the show. I was surprised to learn that the show had the highest ratings of all time in all ten seasons of The Ultimate Fighter. Here is the article:
The season debut of “The Ultimate Fighter 10” shattered the network’s previous ratings record for the show with a whopping 4.1 million viewers (5.3 rating), according to a press release distributed by Spike TV Thursday.
The series’ previous highpoint was 2.8 million viewers for the live finale of “The Ultimate Fighter 3” in 2006, said the release.
The addition of streetfighting sensation Kimbo Slice to the 16-man heavyweight cast helped the cable network top the Men 18-34, 18-49, 18-24, and 25-34 demos, beating out “The Jay Leno Show,” “America’s Got Talent” season finale and others, according to the release.
The debut also grabbed 3.2 million viewers in the co-gender Person 18-49 demographic.

Fed Chair Ben Bernanke says "Recession Is Over.""
I heard this news while I was listening to k57 talk radio on the way to school. This is all I could find on the internet regarding today's breaking news.
Some people are saying, yeah, the recession IS over. Now it's time
for the depression. Because things will get worse.

Okay. Let's hope not.
President Obama calls Kanye a "Jackass" over Taylor Swift Incident
This has been in the entertainment section of Guam's newspapers these past couple days. I don't pay much attention to these petty things, whos dating who, celbrity beefs, etc. BUT when the President commented on the situation I took notice. Here is the President's audio commentary.
After that, I had to research the video and see what all the fuss was about. Video of Kanye's rant at the VMA's 2009.
I don't think this help's Kanye's career in any way shape or form.

My favorite song of the month!
I've listened to this song at least once a day for the past 3 weeks. It is called "Forever" by Drake, Kanye. Lil Wayne and Eminem.
I've been reading comments about the verses by each rapper and the majority of people say Eminem killed it with his verse. To the hip hop iliterate that means Eminem had the best verse out of all the rappers. I agree. Thank you Em for using your real voice again to rap, and not your voice that you been using on "We Made You" and pretty much your whole Encore and Relapse album. Matter fact, Em's verse on "Forever" was better than his whole Relapse album! (Also: I heard they are shooting a video for this song, so look out for it.)
