Some quick overrated things in life:
AIM/Yahoo Messenger/ICQ/Etc - it's a convenient way not to talk to people. Who needs to hear voices or interact? Though, I will add that it allows for easier multi-tasking, but with the age of technology, we're running far away from the days where you would actually have to talk to someone.

Shaquille O'Neil - People always talk about him having so much skill....like what? Turning around and dunking over everyone? If I were that tall and big, I would hope I could do the same thing, but I wouldn't classify him in every "superstar" class. Guys like Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, and Magic Johnson, had more to them besides dunking in their scoring portfolio. They were also leaders and they had class....O'Neil...doesn't have much. But he has a great hip hop career in his future. And maybe acting...SHAZAAM!

Monty Python and the Holy Grail - I haven't finished this movie yet, but so far it is quite a bore. I don't know what it is, but it feels like some jokes run a little too long or they kill the sarcasm. I will try and finish the movie, but I can't help falling asleep each time.

Hillary Duff - I don't really know that much about her but I've seen Lizzie Maguire and listened to some of her music and I think...."This girl makes way too much money!" She'll be just as sluttly as the rest of those pop girls in 5 years. She'll get out of her good girl phase and go through a bad girl phase that she won't be able to get out of.

Concerts - I hate going to concerts now w/ a passion. I pay 50 bucks to go hear some band that I do like, but that night they don't seem to want to play any of my favorite songs. Then I spend the rest of my night getting bumped around by gross, sweaty people and then it takes me an hour and a half to leave the place because of the traffic. I rather listen to a CD and just kick it. Or watch the concert on TV.

Lindsay Lohan - First she has poor taste...Wilma Valderrama ...are u kidding? I did like her in the Parent Trap, but the rest of her movies sucked ass. She has a terrible singing voice. Now she's hanging out w/ Paris Hilton...good call...RETARD!

PS2 - I would not buy one of these now if I were anyone. Graphically it's not that great anymore, it has a useless DVD player that skips, loud, and it has a few good games. Also the network implementation doesn't seem the most thought out idea. The games that are supposed to be PS2 seem to be making their way to Xbox and GC. At the time it was awesome, but there wasn't much from the competition and the number of games weren't there. Now, if my PS2 broke in half, I wouldn't cry.

I also agree the Yankees are an overrated team and they are terrible for sports. Any sport. But I don't agree that baseball sucks. I love baseball and I know the game seems boring, but for some reason I can sit and watch a baseball game for hours. There is some thrill there and I like the nuances in terms of defense, pitching styles, types of pitches, the sound of a bat when the ball is hit on the screws. Baseball doesn't have a lot of action, but if you watch for the little things, you start to appreciate it. I really don't have a great argument here because I used to be one who would fall asleep watching baseball...but then you start seeing the little things.

At first, I was going to disagree with Brendan, but then he explained further to me and I see his point. Drinking can be fun, but I would never use that an excuse to go have fun....like if I were bored, I wouldn't resort to going out drinking for the sole purpose of drinking. There has to be some social aspect to it for drinking to be fun. I see drinking as overrated if you have to do it every weekend to have fun. There are other things in life that don't need to be enhanced by alcohol.

San Jose:
Just to expand on Tony's thoughts....

San Jose is a great place to live. Everyone says that it's boring and there's not much to do, but where is a place that has more?

SF? Besides clubs,bars and some site seeing stuff, what else is there? Homeless people?
NY? same as above except more people

I like San Jose because 90% of the time you do not have to worry about finding parking. Even if you have to pay for it, you can easily find a parking garage and it's not really a hassle.

No matter where you are in San Jose, you're 15 min from all other places - Fremont, Milpitas, Cupertino, Sunnyvale, etc....

You don't have to worry about not finding a place to shop or buy videogames. This is huge coming from SLO and Tucson where you can only find a select amount of places where you can go shopping.

The only thing I wish about San Jose is if it had more of a college type atmosphere. Younger crowds, not as busy, more laid back.

Yes Steve....Welcome back to the Promised Land! We will have fun and we will make you forget about....u know...that place where you went to college....ya...

Tony - yes we should hang out more. I've very excited about Smallville 2.

Brian - it was nice seeing you around for a summer for once. Hopefully you'll come visit more often when you graduate. You should come back, just like Steve did. =)

Alright my shift is about over....Talk to you all later.
