Song of the Day #203

It's kinda rare for me to double up on songs for my SotD posts. But this has been completely melded into my brain the past few days. I love it for some reason. It's at times like these I realize I'm very easy to please music-wise. Haha.


Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen- "Good Time" from The Midsummer Station and Kiss

"Freaked out, dropped my phone in the pool again
Checked out of my room, hit the ATM
Let's hang out if you're down to get down tonight
'Cause it's always a good time

Good morning and good night
I'll wake up at twilight
It's gonna be alright
We don't even have to try
It's always a good time.

Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time."

2012 Comedy Season Count-Down: Week #1

Well I've decided to do a run down, each week of all the comedies that I watch on the ole television  I figure since my first full week of watching them ended last night with Modern Family's premiere I'd rank all the ones I watched.  Both new and old are on this list. Season one premieres have their own little section compared to established shows. Rating are on a scale of 1 to 5 and blah blah. As shows premiere such as Big Bang Theory, Community, It's Always Sunny, etc, they will be added to the next weeks blog post. I hope to have these up Wednesday nights or Thursday afternoon each week.

----------

Guys With Kids (Season 1): 0/5
Literally, in the 4 minutes I watched of this I hated all the characters and didn't even smile. I never wanna see this again. Anthony Anderson used to be fat and funny. Now he's skinny and not. I highly dislike this show.

Partners (Season 1): 1/5
This has Sophia Bush, which is good. But this show, about a straight man and his gay best friend (and their subsequent PARTNERS), just isn't funny. While I saw Sophia in yoga pants, that's not enough to get me to watch again.

Ben and Kate (Season 1) 2/5
The first new show I tolerated and chuckled at at times. Ben and Kate follows the story of Ben and Kate. Durr. They are brother and sister. She has "grown" up and had a kid, while he's still struggling with life. Now Ben is back home and dysfunction ensues. It got a few laughs out of me. This is a very shaky show and can easily drop to one I won't watch.

Animal Practice (Season 1) 2/5
Justin Kirk is a delight on Weeds and was always pretty funny. I like the concept of this show about a dysfunctional animal hospital. It follows the story of a head doctor at said hospital with a woman coming in to co-run the company. There's a doctor who's a monkey and Nick Swisher's hot wife. I laughed a bit at this.

The Mindy Project (Season 1) 2/5
I've been watching The Office since season 1 and I think that's partly why I gave this show a chance. I'm glad I did. Mindy Kaling is quite funny in her show where she plays a doctor struggling with patients, life, and self image. Cameos by Bill Hader and Ed Helms made my night when I watched this. Also the main cast has some truly laugh out loud moments.

----------

Two Broke Girls (Season 2, Episode 1): 2.5/5
If you're not familiar with Two Broke Girls, it's about a brash waitress and her friend (also now a waitress) who just lost all of her fortune. They decide to work together to try to start a cupcake business and get on their feet. In the season premiere we finally get to meet Caroline's father who is in prison, with Max unintentionally liking someone upon first meeting. Kat Dennings is usually the only one to get me with one liners and there were some good ones this episode.

How I Met Your Mother (Season 8, Episode 1): 2.5/5
Do I even need to run down the plot of this veteran show? In the season premiere, Barney has to deal with Quinn finding out that he used to date Barney, Ted is dealing with breaking up a marriage for an old flame, and Lily and Marshall are dealing with no sleep and their new born baby. A lot of dealing I'd gander. I tuned out after Barney's 52 second tale of him and Robin. Lily and Marshall kept me interested too. Solid return.


Tosh.0 (Season 4, Episode 21, Fall Premiere): 3/5
Daniel Tosh is always a riot. I don't think I've ever seen a Tosh.0 show or any of his stand-up that doesn't bring a smile to my face or makes me laugh. This episode Tosh gives his opinions of a gorilla eating a giant green shit, gives a Web Redemption to a white kid that wore black face for a Martin Luther King project and trans his staff for the rest of season four.

Up All Night (Season 2, Episode 1): 3/5
Entering it's second season, Up All Night is a show that I really like. Maya Rudolph is a hilarious person, just look at her SNL days. The always great Will Arnett and the lovely Christina Applegate have a great on-screen chemistry. In the premiere we find out that the Ava show has been cancelled, that Reagan has to decide what do with her life now and that Chris and Reagen's brother Scott, are going into business together.

Modern Family (Season 4, Episode 1): 3/5
At this point Modern Family is God-tier for me. I've invested three years into a family I've grown to love. Entering it's fourth season, I'm hoping the best show on ABC can keep it's magic. A big development kicks off this year as we find out that Gloria is pregnant and hasn't told Jay. Cam and Mitchell are dealing with Lily wanting a little brother and/or a cat named Larry. Also Phil must kidnap Jay for a day out and Claire must teach Haley that her boyfriend Dylan can't live with them at home. This was a solid enough opening. A couple of hilarious moments. I hope it kicks into a better gear though. Needs more Luke and Phil moments, and knowing the writers, we'll get them.

South Park (Season 16, episode 8, Fall Premiere): 4/5
I don't always watch new South Park episodes, but I happened to catch this weeks fall premiere. Oh God am I glad I did. Randy is angry because the school is taking away the kick-offs from the football games so students don't get hurt. He sarcastically tells the school's staff at a PTA meeting of a game called "Sarcastaball" and they take him seriously. Now we have what may be the worst sport ever, led by a completely sarcastic Randy Marsh, and what (unfortunately) leads to Butter's Creamy Goo. From what I already mentioned to a Jim Rome cameo and Butter's learning about erections. This episode was a complete riot.

The Office (Season 9, Episode 1): 4/5
Another veteran show I have no need to explain. The Office is entering it's final season and the last year at Dunder Mifflin is primed to be a riot. They've added the hilarious Clarke Duke to the cast as well. We start the final season with Kevin trying to save a turtle he ran over, Andy is back at boss and we get to hear this behind the scenes (for the first time) of the people filming talking about what they want to continue to do. I like the start. This is one of the shows that can do no wrong in my eyes.

New Girl (Season 2, Episodes 1 and 2): 5/5
Oh man, this show has me hooked. I love every character and it's a rare first season show that go a full schedule and did great with every episode. Zooey Deschanel is also damn adorable. If you're unfamiliar it follows the lives of four roommates, Jess, Nick, Schmidt and Winston, living in LA. Jess' best friend, Cece, who is also a model is always hanging around too. We start this season with Jess losing her teaching job and Schmidt getting his penis cast removed and throwing a reintroduction party for it. In the second part of the premiere Jess meets up win someone who mistakes her for his blind date but also agrees to go out with someone she met at Nicks bar. Also Winston's sister, mom and WNBA team is in town and Schmidt is determined to hook-up with Winston's sister. I love this show and I was laughing throughout both episodes. A fantastic season two start off.

Parks and Recreation (Season 4, Episode 1): 5/5
Parks and Recreation is easily the best show on NBC, and I think on-air right now. With the same style as The Office, it's primed to take over once it ends this season. Amy Poehler has really grown into Leslie Knope and over the last three seasons everyone has grown into their own. There isn't a character I don't like and people like Ron Swanson and Andy Dwyer make this show a comedy riot. In the season premiere Leslie and Andy take a trip to Washington DC to meet up with Ben and April who have been working there for awhile. Meanwhile back in Pawnee Ron is put in charge of hosting the annual employee appreciation barbecue. I don't think there was a scene that didn't have me laughing at multiple things. Between New Girl and this, it was a good week for comedy.

Songs of the Summer: 2012 Edition

Now I know summer's been done for a bit now. Sorry for this being a little late. But I think I've complied a great list of songs that I listened to the most and influenced me over this summer. From an unlikely pop song, to getting more into an artist I love, discovering a new group I adore and to the song that was playing when I finally met two of my best friends one Sunday night in August.

Story of the Year- "Just Close Your Eyes" from WWE The Music: A New Day, Vol. 10
You may not have heard me talk about this song much. But it's one of WWE's best right now, and for me all time to be honest. I love Christan. Also I love the style, pace and lyrics of this song. I managed to pop this on quite a bit over the summer. 

"Never thought I would be here, so high in the air.
This was my unanswered prayer.
Defined by another, so much wasted time, 
Out of the darkness, each breath that I take will be mine.

If you close your eyes, Your life, a naked truth revealed, 
Dreams you never lived and scars never healed
(Scars never healed)
In the darkness life will take you to the other side, 
And find me waiting there you'll see if you just close your eyes.
If you just close your eyes.
(If you just close your eyes)"


The Lonely Island feat Justin Timberlake- "Motherlover" from Turtleneck & Chain
Haha, I love The Lonely Island.  Justin Timberlake has always been okay to me as well. Put them together for "Dick in a Box", "3 Way (The Golden Rule)" and this and you've got my sides laughing out of my body into orbit.

"[Andy Samberg:] Break it down
[Andy Samberg:] It would be my honor to be your new step-father 
[Justin Timberlake:] It would be my honor to be your new step-father 
[Andy Samberg:] While your in my mother make me another brother.
And while I'm in your mother I'll never use a rubber 
[Justin Timberlake:] OH! 

Cause every Mothers Day needs a Mothers Night 
If doing it is wrong, I don't wanna be right 
I'm callin on you cause I can't do it myself 
To me you're like a brother, so be my mother lover 
They blessed us both with the gift of life 
She brought you in this world so Imma sex her right 
This is the second best idea that we've ever had 
The choice can be no other 
Be my mother lover"


Hollywood Undead- "Everywhere I Go" from Swan Songs
We move from comedy. To comedy rap of sorts. Hollywood Undead was always a group, which well...I liked Swan Songs and I keep going back to it. The rapping is good, crazy, funny and sometimes heartfelt. But when I have to pick one HU song, it'll always be this one

"When I start drinking
My dick does all my thinking
Hoes want to be scene with me
And I like their big thick titties
D-Cups with extra filling
Take it out let me lick it quickly
Calm down it's just a hickie
I'll blame it on this whisky sipping gets me tipsy
Drink fast and enjoy your buzz
Take back streets to avoid the fuzz
I wanna take you home but your friends won't let ya'
I got a 40 in my Ford Fiesta
Buy beer
Or pay the rent
My signing bonus was quickly spent
So I'll beat my meat like I'm a fuckin' butcher
And I'll punk the pussy like I'm Ashton Kutcher!"


KiD CuDi- "Soundtrack 2 My Life" from Man on the Moon: The End of Day
We're at the part of this list with songs I'll always go back to. I've loved this album since I first laid ears on it. And over the past year this song has emerged as THE best off the album for me. Also I'd gander to say this is one of my favorite tracks of all time.

"The moon will illuminate my room and soon I'm consumed by my doom
Once upon a time nobody gave a fuck
It's all said and done and my cock's been sucked
So now I'm in the cut, alcohol in the wound
My hearts an open sore that I hope heals soon
I live in a cocoon opposite of Cancun
Where it is never sunny, the dark side of the moon
So it's more than life, I try to shed some light on a man
Not many people of this planet understand

I've got some issues that nobody can see
And all of these emotions are pouring out of me
I bring them to the light for you
It's only right
This is the soundtrack to my life, the soundtrack to my life

It's close to go and trying some coke
And a happy ending is slitting my throat
Ignorance the coke man
Ignorance is bliss
Ignorance is love, and I need that shit
If I never did shows, then I'd probably be a myth
If I cared about the blogs, then I'd probably be a jackass
Don't give a shit what people talkin' bout fam
Haters shake my hand but I keep the sanitizer on deck
Hope I really get to see 30
Wanna settle down, stop being so flirty
Most of the clean faces be the most dirty
I just need a thoroughbred, cook when I'm hungry
Ass all chunky, brain is insanity
Only things that calm me down, pussy and some Cali trees
And I get both, never truly satisfied
I am happy, that's just the saddest lie"


Childish Gambino- "Heartbeat" from Camp
I've been listening to Camp for close to a year now. But I don't think more than I have this summer. I bought my physical copy release day and never looked back. I love Donald Glover, aka Childish Gambino, in whatever he does. Whether it be comedy, acting or in this case rapping.

"So we're done? This the real shit?
We used to hold hands like field trips
I'm a jerk, but your dude is a real dick
I read his posts on your wall and I feel sick
He ain't cool, he ball and all that
But he just a fake nigga who blog in all caps
You couldn't wait to date
I'm going straight for your thighs like the cake you ate
I give a fuck about the niggas that you say you hate
You know that I’m the best when I’m a-ffection-ate
I'm the best that you had, face it
J and Keyshia are related, racist
I give you money, then you burn it, like you made off
She ain't a killer, but she'd fucking blow your head off
I know he wondering, "What the fuck you hiding?"
That we dated like raps about Bin Laden
Ayo, fuck this
Are we dating? Are we fucking?
Are we best friends? Are we something in between that?
I wish we never fucked, and I mean that"


Downstait- "I'm Here To Show The World"
The best WWE theme right now in my opinion and Ziggler is the third best wrestler and entertainer in the company. I got to see Ziggler live and hear this song when I went to Raw in August. Truly one of the best moments of the summer and a memory I'll always have.

"I hold your life here in my hands
Though you try hard to understand
Your little mind won't turn
Those little wheels will burn
You'll recognise just who I am
Bring it on

Do what I say "Better watch what I do"
Better heed the warning I'm here to give you
If you ever doubted me, you don't have a clue
I'm here to show the world
I'm here to show the world"


Childish Gambino- "Backpackers" from Camp
This is the other Gambino song I've grown to love. Much different than the emotional "Heartbeat", "Backpackers" shows off Gambino's rap and lyrical prowess. Plus it's beat is awesome. This album is amazing.

"Alright it's Childish baby
Mr. Talk-about-his-dick-again
Nerdy ass black kid
Yeah whatever man I'm sick of him
That well spoken token
Who ain't been heard
The only white rapper who's allowed to say the n-word
I buy a bunch of 'em and put it on my black card
Now I got some street cred
Use it 'til it's maxed out
I got a girl on my arm dude, show respect
Something crazy, an Asian, Virginia Tech
She too fine
I do dimes
If not that, I'm walking out with 2 fives
Change my ID for the cops, it's not enough yet
Black male in short shorts, I'm double suspect
Ballin' since '83
Half of 'em say gay
Maybe that's the reason I like Lady What-baby's-say
I'm a problem
I'm lame as fuck homie
But I rap like these niggas ain't got shit on me
Fuck the cool kids
Not Chuck Inglish, but people who think
That hatin on me makes them distinguished
Like, "What is this nigga doin rap is for real blacks
I hate that fucking faggot man he think that we feel that"
Or
"I wrote on rape culture my junior year at Brown
So I'm allowed
To say what all his raps are about"
You better shut your mouth
Before I fuck it
You really hate my lyrics?
Or Kid Cudi's? Nigga"


Carly Rae Jepsen- "Call Me Maybe" from Curiosity and Kiss
Carly is cute and this song is catchy as hell. Just ask...well anyone. For a solid month you could hear this song, or a joke about this song, or one of us singing the song in ANY Skype call I was a part of. At least, once you've grown to hate it's catchy-ness, you can realize it's a decent enough song.

"Your stare was holdin',
Ripped jeans, skin was showin'
Hot night, wind was blowin'
Where you think you're going, baby?

Hey, I just met you,
And this is crazy,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?

It's hard to look right,
At you baby,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?

Hey, I just met you,
And this is crazy,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?

And all the other boys,
Try to chase me,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?"


fun.- "Some Nights" from Some Nights
There's some songs and bands out there that just strike a chord with you. On every level. This is that song (and band) for me. The music, the singing, the lyrics and the message. Just all resound in me and makes me wanna listen to it like five times after I've listened to it once.

"But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know... (come on)

No. When I see stars, when I see, when I see stars, that's all they are
When I hear songs, they sound like this one, so come on
Oh, come on. Oh, come on, OH COME ON!

Well, that is it guys, that is all - five minutes in and I'm bored again
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
This one is not for the folks at home; Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go
Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?

The other night, you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me
I called you up, but we'd both agree
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance... oh...
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance... oh..."


Jay-Z & Kanye West- "Niggas In Paris" from Watch the Throne
I flew up to Chicago over the summer. For a few days. First time on a plane as well. I got to meet, hang out, and bond with two of the greatest people to enter my life over the past two years. This song was played for me and cookies were slung at me as I got into the car when I first met them as got to a brand new city. The epitome of memories happens when I hear this now.

"She said Ye can we get married at the mall?
I said look you need to crawl ‘fore you ball
Come and meet me in the bathroom stall
And show me why you deserve to have it all
Ball so hard
That shit cray (that shit cray), ain’t it Jay?
Ball so hard
What she order (what she order), fish filet
Ball so hard
Your whip so cold, this old thing
Ball so hard
Act like you’ll never be around muhfuckas like this again
Bougie girl, grab her hand
Fuck that bitch she don’t wanna dance
Excuse my French but I’m in France (I’m just sayin’)
Prince William’s ain’t do it right if you ask me
Cause I was him I would have married Kate & Ashley
What's Gucci my nigga?
What's Louie my killa?
What's drugs my deala?
What's that jacket, Margiela?
Doctors say I’m the illest
Cause I’m suffering from realness
Got my niggas in Paris
And they going gorillas, huh!"

Song of the Day #202

Forgot to post this when I went to bed last night. Haha. 

Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen- "Good Time" from The Midsummer Station and Kiss

"Woke up on the right side of the bed
What's up with this Prince song inside my head?
Hands up if you're down to get down tonight
'Cause it's always a good time

Slept in all my clothes like I didn't care
Hopped into a cab, take me anywhere
I'm in if you're down to get down tonight
'Cause it's always a good time

Good morning and good night
I'll wake up at twilight
It's gonna be alright
We don't even have to try
It's always a good time

Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time."

FJ Decides To Listen To Pop Music

I thought of this little idea today, after four hours of sleep, getting in my car to go to class. I'm a fan of pop music. Catchy lyrics, melodies, songs, etc. Instead of drowning myself in Childish Gambino's Camp and Jay-Z & Kanye West's Watch the Throne, I'd listen to the local pop stations to and from school. About 20-25 minutes each way. So about five songs each way. Here's the nine songs I heard (one of which I heard twice), ranked form worst to best.

9. Usher- "Scream" from Looking 4 Myself
This song is God-awful and anyone who likes it need to be shot. I love pop and pop stations, but not when they play this shit.

8. Usher feat. Will.i.am- "OMG" from Raymond v. Raymond
I hate Usher.

7. Ke$ha- "Die Young" from Warrior
Lyrics in this include "Young hunks, taking shots, stripping down to dirty socks" and "That magic in your pants is making me blush". Ke-DollarSign-ha ladies and gentlemen, whata word smith. Kill me at this point.

6. Kanye West- "Stronger" from Graduation
As much as I love Kanye, and he is my favorite artist of all time, even I admit this is easily his worst single. But even Kanye's worst is better than most of the trash people are into.

5. Flo Rida- "Whistle" from Wild Ones
This is the song I had to hear twice. Ehhhhh. Not gonna lie, chorus is catchy as hell. Flo Rida is a God awful "rapper" though...

4. Neon Trees- "Everybody Talks" from Picture Show
Love the sound, lyrics and pace of this song. Was really into listening to it and probably gonna download it. Surprised I hadn't heard it in full before, been out for awhile. IT STARTED WITH A WHISPERRRRRRRRRRRRR.

3. One Republic- "Good Life" from Waking Up
A lot of whistling on this list. But this is leagues ahead and better song. Sung well and I loved the melody as a whole. Another older song too. But I love the lyrics and they're some you can really take to heart.

2. Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen- "Good Time" from The Midsummer Station and Kiss
I love that both of these guys wanted this on their album and neither wanted to be the feature. Either brilliant or selfish...or both. Either way Owl City is an established artist for me and Carly Rae with "Call Me Maybe" was God-teir pop from over this summer. Combine the two for this lovely song.

1. fun.- "Some Nights" from Some Nights
I got giddy when this came on after I think it was Kanye. Fun. is easily one of my newer favorite bands and this has hit my song of the day tally many a time. I adore this song and easily tops this list of songs heard on the radio. Sometimes, stations get it right.

Song of the Day #201

Finally hit 200 and 201 is Kanye West. Best artist ever.

Kanye West feat. Dwele- "Power" from My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

"Colin Powell, Austin Powers
Lost in translation with a whole fucking nation
They say I was the abomination of Obama’s nation
Well that’s a pretty bad way to start the conversation
At the end of the day, god damn it I’m killing this shit
I know damn well y’all feeling this shit
I don’t need your pussy, bitch, I’m on my own dick
I ain’t gotta power trip, who you going home with?
How Ye doing? I’m surviving
I was drinking earlier, now I’m driving
Where the bad bitches, huh? Where you hiding?
I got the power to make your life so exciting

Now this will be a beautiful death
(I’m jumping out the window)
(I’m letting everything go)
You got the power to let power go?
[21st century schizoid man]"

Song of the Day #200

This is one of those songs I wish I could truly believe the lyrics to...Happy 200...Woo.

fun.- "It Gets Better" from Some Nights

"It's hard to keep a straight face when I just want to smile
If you could see the look that's in your eyes

Like starlight crashing through the room, we'll lose our feathers
Yes, I know it hurts at first but it gets better

It gets better, it gets better
It gets better, we'll get better

It gets better, it gets better
It gets better, we'll get better"

Song of the Day #199

Jay-Z & Kanye West feat. Swizz Beatz- "Welcome to the Jungle" from Watch the Throne

"Black Axl Rose, move halfs and wholes
Come down to the jungle, just ask for Hov
Move blocks and squares, move apples and pears
Work pots and pans, just to cop me some Airs
My uncle died, my daddy did too
Paralyzed by the pain, I can barely move
My nephew gone, my heart is torn
Sometimes I look to the sky, ask why I was born
My faith in God, every day is hard
Every night is worse, that's why I pray so hard

Why I pray so hard, this is crazy God
Just when I thought I had everything, I lost it all
So que sera, get a case of Ciroc
Let it chase the pain, before it goes too far

My dreams is big, reality set in
Let off a clip from a automatic weapon,
Through shots in the door, it died in Vegas
Though it fought so hard, I knew it wouldn't make it
I'm a tortured soul, I live in disguise
Rest in peace to the leader of the Jackson 5
I died in my sleep, I'm still Big Pimpin
I ball at the mall, beginning of the ending
Where the fuck is the sun?
It's been a while, momma, look at ya son
What happened to my smile?
My tears is tatted, my rag in my pocket
I'm just looking for love, I know somebody got it
Champagne for the pain, weed for the low
God damn I'm so high, where the fuck did I go?
I'm losing myself, I'm stuck in the moment
I look in the mirror, my only opponent
Where the fuck is the press? Where the fuck is the Press?
Either they know or don't care I'm fucking depressed
No crying in public, just lying to judges
Risking my life, I'm already dying, so fuck it well"

Song of the Day #198

Childish Gambino- "L.E.S." from Camp

"We could pretend if you want to, like
We in love and started datin' after art school
Cause either way we both lyin' more than half of the time
Except for when I’m home workin' on your graphic design
Everytime we see each other I'm takin' you home
Our relationship has gotten Sylvester Stalone
Yellow 9/11 Persian girl in the back car
But me writin' a verse the only way they buyin' a bar
White boys used to trip and send me over a gin
But they busy showin' off each other Indian friend
She got ironic tattoos on her back
That ain't ironic bitch, I love Rugrats
Watchin' lames handle they fame
They bang any broad with bangs
In a band with an animal name
Hannibal came drinkin' a handle of Jameson
Anallin' anyone is the plan for the evening
I'm kidding, stop
Girl cryin' on Ludlow
She still look good though
Love is Eastside, who are you to hate?
Movie ass, not a 10 but a Super 8
You ain't see me at the show, I was super great
Hotel penthouse, go on and let it roominate
City never sleeps, so I guess I'm never slept on
Did everything I could, then I kept goin'"

Fat Jesus' WWE Night of Champions 2012 Predictions

Night of Champions, formerly known as Vengeance and Vengeance: Night of Champions has really grown into it's own. I've always liked the idea of a show where the champions were honored and got to take the spotlight. Now it's right after Summerslam it always has the possibility to have a three way PPV punch starting with Money in the Bank. I usually like these events and hope this doesn't disappoint.

Battle Royal to Determine the No.1 Contender for the United States Championship
This will be short. WHO CARES. I haven't cared about any of these and I'm not going to start. I wouldn't doubt Santino somehow winning and us having a terrible match between the two again...this time on PPV though.
Winner: Santino

Antoino Cesaro  vs Whoever wins That Battle Roayal in a singles match for the United States Championship
Not a match I'm crazy about. But I like Cesaro and if it's someone like maybe Zack Ryder, this could be a nice little match for the USC. Either way though, I think Cesaro and his hussie microphone holder keep the title for awhile longer.
Winner (and STILL United States Champion): Antonio Cesaro

Layla (Divas Champion) vs Kaitlyn in a singles match for the Divas Championship
 Kaitlyn has really grown on me over the past month-ish and if you know me or read these you know I love Layla. I don't mind either of them. Kaitlyn is botch prone though and Layla is improving but can't carry a match. Even if they both have delectable hineys I think no one wins this and it should end in a "double cunt out." See what I did thar? If I have to pick a winner, Layla. (Hopefully) Beth comes out and wrecks whoever wins.
Winner (and STILL Divas Champion): Layla

 Kofi Kingston/R-Truth (WWE Tag Team Champions) vs Team Friendship [Daniel Bryan/Kane] in a tag team match for the WWE Tag Team Championship
 Kane and D-Bry have the only story-line I'm remotely into right now. The skits are funny and these two have been two of the best in-ring this year. Which is why they could bring some legitimacy to the tag division by holding the title for a while. Let them win over Team Black, Gabriel/Kidd, Prime Time Players, Primo/Epico, etc. Gets the tag division built and lets the young'ns win over veterans/former world champs.
Winners (and NEW WWE Tag Team Champions): Daniel Bryan and Kane

The Miz (Intercontinental Champion) vs Rey Mysterio vs Sin Cara vs Cody Rhodes in a Fatal Four Way for the Intercontinental Championship
 No build at all accept Rhodes wants his title back, attacked The Miz on Monday and everyone else has pinned Miz. This could really get the crowd into the show and as long as there not too much botching it could be a very entertaining match. I really don't think the title changes hands but if it does I'm sure they'll give it to Rey.
Winner (and NEW Intercontinental Champion): Rey Mysterio

Randy Orton vs Dolph Ziggler (Mr. Money in the Bank) in a singles match 
As long as Dolph holds MitB he's going to continue having matches like these at PPVs. Which I don't mind at all. Great match with Jericho at SS and if given time these can have a nice match as well. While I'm not the biggest Orton fan his matches with Ziggler are good. Give them some time and this'll be solid. BUT I do want him to cash in and this is the prime night to do so I'd think. Solid match, but WWE loves Orton and I don't think he loses here.
Winner: Randy Orton

 Sheamus (World Heavyweight Champion) vs Alberto Del Rio in a singles match for the World Heavyweight Championship
YAWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN. This match again? I honestly don't care. Like both guys, don't like their matches though. Short thoughts on this one. Brogue Kick banned? Who cares. It's literally a big boot. Move the title to Del Rio or move on and let Ziggler feud with Sheamus. BUT look out! I really think that Dolph Ziggler may cash in after the match.
Winner (and STILL World Heavyweight Champion): Sheamus

CM Punk (WWE Champion) vs John Cena in a singles match for the WWE Championship
CM Punk is in full heel mode now. Attacking the fans, Cena, King, etc in great promos and segments. Add Heyman to the mix and this could be the Fall of Punk this year. Cena is still...well Cena. Cena/Punk had a good promo to match on Moday, that will be overshadowed by King's untimely heart attack, #GetWellJerry. I like this match and truly hope it main events as Punk v Cena matches haven't disappointed me yet and I'd like to see another chapter. And for Punk to keep this epic title reign going.
Winner (and STILL WWE Champion): CM Punk

Winners
Santino (Battle Royal)
Antonio Cesaro (still United States Champion)
Layla (still Divas Champion)
Daniel Bryan/Kane (new WWE Tag Team Champions)
Rey Mysterio (new Intercontinental Champion)
Randy Orton
Sheamus (still World Heavyweight Champion)
CM Punk (still WWE Champion)

Song(s) of the Day #197

Kid Cudi- "Creepers" from Cruel Summer

"I don't love who I am so I'm workin' on a fix
I don't need a bitch trying to tear my mind on my grip
If I had one wish it'd be to have more wishes, duh
Fuck tryna make it rhyme throw them stones, with your bitch ass
Cutting me deep and even though I bleed I stand alone
Alone I'll be, heart of a lion still shining on your sucka ass
Work it, work it, work it, for inner peace
Fightin' for the freedom of my soul, I can hear the speech
Yeah I mumble while I'm trippin on so many pills
Hah, they figured that, they know I'm ill"

Kanye West feat. Big Sean & Jay-Z- "Clique" from Cruel Summer


"Break records at Louie, ate breakfast at Gucci
My girl a superstar all from a home movie
Bow on our arrival - the Un-American idols
What niggas did in Paris, got em' hanging off the Eiffel
Yeah I'm talking business, we talking CIA
I'm talking George Tenet, I seen him the other day
He asked me about my Maybach, think he had the same
Except mine tinted and his might have been rented
You know white people get money don't spend it
Or maybe they get money, buy a business
I rather buy 80 gold chains and go ig'nant
I know Spike Lee gone kill me but let me finish
Blame it on the pigment, we living no limits
Them gold Master P ceilings was just a figment
Of our imagination, MTV cribs
Now I'm looking at a crib right next to where TC lives
That's Tom Cruise, whatever she accuse
He wasn't really drunk he just had a frew brews
Pass the refreshments, a cool, cool beverage
Everything I do need a news crew's presence
Speedboat swerve, homie watch out for the waves
I'm way too black to burn from sun rays
So I just meditate at the home in Pompei
About how I could build a new Rome in one day
Everytime I'm in Vegas they screaming like he's Elvis
But I just wanna design hotels and nail it
Shit is real, got me feeling Israelian
Like Bar Refaeli, Gisele, nah that's Brazilian
Went through, deep depression when my momma passed
Suicide, what kinda talk is that
But I been talking to God for so long
And if you look at my life I guess he's talking back
Fucking with my clique"

Song(s) of the Day #196

Owl City- "The Tip of the Iceberg" from  Ocean Eyes

"I'll travel the sub-zero tundra 
I'll brave glaciers and frozen lakes 
And that's just the tip of the iceberg 
I'll do whatever it takes 
To change"

Owl City- "Tidal Wave" from Ocean Eyes

"All my life I wish I broke mirrors, instead of promises
Cause all I see, is a shattered conscience staring right back at me
..
Help is on the way
I forget the last time I felt brave, I just recall insecurity
Cause it came down like a tidal wave, and sorrow swept over me
..
Depression, please cut to the chase and cut a long story short
Oh please be done. How much longer can this drama afford to run?
Fate looks sharp, severs all my ties and breaks whatever doesn't bend
But sadly then, all my heavy hopes just pull me back down again
(Back down again, back down again, back down again...)"

Song of the Day #195

fun.- "Carry On" from Some Nights

"Whoa
My head is on fire
But my legs are fine
After all they are mine
Lay your clothes down on the floor
Close the door
Hold the phone
Show me how
No one’s ever gonna stop us now

Cause we are
We are shining stars
We are invincible
We are who we are
On our darkest day
When we’re miles away
Sun will come
We will find our way home

If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
Carry on

Carry on, carry on"
