More Media for the Ninga Burglar.

Since June, the Notorious Ninga Burglar has struck at 18 homes on Staten Island. He targets houses in Donogan Hills, Grymes Hill, Todt Hill, and the surrounding neighborhoods. The Ninja has run into home owners, never says a word, and has even been stabbed by one resident. Though he has been seen, he is still at large.

The Ninja Burglar gets more and more attention everyday. Teens talk about him on online blogs (like I am currently doing), post ninja bumper stickers on their facebook accounts, and make their own ninja youtube videos. The media runs stories on him all the time. I have seen stories on the Ninja in the Advance and on Fox 5 News. Now, he has his own online video game.

Pirates Vs. Ninjas Dodgeball. A game made for the online version of XBox 360, it took ten minutes to write, and two hours to film. In the trailer for the game, the Pirates board the Staten Island Ferry with a map of the Ninja's targeted homes. They search the Island in hopes of finding him, but it seems the Ninja finds them first. As the Pirates post "WANTED" posters across the Island, the Ninja sneaks up behind them and nails them with a dodgeball.

Personally, I think that this whole Ninja Burglar business is funny, as long as no one gets hurt. However, making a game about him is going a little too far. This is the type of attention the Ninja seems to crave. The creator of the game calls the Ninja a "jerk" and hopes that he "doesn't like the video."

My Opinion: OF COURSE HE WILL LIKE IT, YOU ARE MAKING HIM FAMOUS.

Fake IDs

Every year, tons of high school and college students obtain fake IDs. Some of these IDs are for age 21, so that underage kids are able to drink while others just want an 18 ID so they can get into clubs or bars. Sometimes fake IDs will work, and sometimes the attempt is unsuccessful.

Last night I waited on line outside a club with my friends. In front of us, there was a group of people who were clearly not of age to get in to this club. As one girl handed over her ID, the bouncer burst out saying, "YOU ACTUALLY WANT PEOPLE TO BELIEVE THIS IS YOU!?" The bouncer held the ID under a camera lens that projected the picture onto the wall for everyone to see. It was a terrible picture and the girl looked nothing like the one in the photograph. The bouncer proceeded to do this with every one of the young girls' IDs. They were put up on screen for pure amusement of others. He handed back their IDs and told the girls to go away.

As the girls walked away in defeat, we all stood and laughed. I have to say that this man was the funniest bouncer I have seen in a long time.

A Lesson on Procrastination.

A lesson on Procrastination.

1.) Procrastination is an art and highly developed skill.
2.) Procrastination usually starts in high school may follow you throughout your life.
3.) Some people believe that the pressure/stress that follows procrastination is a good thing. It keeps them focused and they work better under pressure.
4.) In reality, there is never a good enough reason for procrastination. Face it, you're just lazy.

I have had since September to read a book for my Psychology class. Instead of getting it done with, I decided to read the ENTIRE book in one day-the night before my report was due. Now this wasn't a difficult task just extremely annoying.

To sum up this lesson, save yourself the annoying stress, avoid procrastination.

Elf Yourself

I love this season! Thanksgiving, Christmas, family, fun... it's all so great!
My favorite part is all the Holiday activites. Thanksgiving dinner, hanging out with my cousin, Christmas shopping, decorating the tree, snow... it seems to never end!

Earlier today, I was going on random websites on the internet and I came across ElfYourself. ElfYourself is a website that allows you to take your picture and put it on the body pof a dancing elf. It's actually pretty funny. I decided to do this and I can't stop laughing (a little loserish maybe but still fun). This is my video:

If you want a good laugh I highly suggest trying this.

Yellow Submarine

I just thought I'd share this comic with you. I found it funny. For those of you who don't know, this comic is based on the Beatles, a very famous band from England.

Banksy

I'm going to let you all in on my little secret... I have a new obsession. I may be a little late on this bandwagon, but I've recently discovered the work of graffiti artist Banksy. Banksy's name is well-known, but the artist likes to keep his identity anonymous. He is believed to be Robert Banks; born in 1974 and a native of Bristol, England. Bansky's graffiti can be found throughout London and all over the world. Many of his artworks have political and cultural meanings. I find many of his work humorous.

Banksy has also played many tricks in museums. He walks in with one of his own pieces of work, and when no one is looking, Banksy hangs his work on the museum walls. He even makes his own descriptions for the paintings. Once he hangs it, Banksy stands back and laughs as he watches as people admire it as a work of genius.

Many people admire Banksy's graffiti as art while others argue that it is vandalism. In some places, the city has let the community vote on if the graffiti should be left alone or painted over. In my opinion, Banksy's work is art. Most times, graffiti is someones name scrawled across the side of the building, but this man puts time and effort into his stenciled graffiti. It is very unique and interesting.

Check out his website to see all the amazing stuff he's done:

Throwing pies for charity.

Every year, Stop & Shop does a charity fund raiser to help feed the poor on Thanksgiving. Normally, people can donate a dollar or whatever amount they'd like and they sign a paper turkey. This year, we still have the paper turkey donation, but they also changed things up a little.

I walked into the store today to pay my credit card bill and as I was passing the Cafe area, I saw plastic hanging from the ceiling and covering the floor and walls. In the middle of this plastic tent, two of my managers were sitting behind a table completely covered in whip cream. It was hilarious. They came up with the idea of a pie throwing event; $5 per pie & hit a manager of your choice.

Well of course every employee was all over this idea because it was a fun way to pay back the managers for all the crap they put us through. I paid my credit card bill and went over to the Deli and pulled Caitlin out to come throw a pie with me. We lined up in front of the two, and one manager turned to Caitlin and said "I always tell you how nice you look and you're going to hit me with a pie!!!!" (In her mind, Caitlin was thinking, "That's exactly why I'm doing it, because you're creepy!")

At the same time, we threw the pies and we each hit them in forehead. It was so much fun! (You wouldn't think it would be too great, but it was.)
