Evolution of Facebook

On Friday the movie The Social Network was released into theaters.  I haven't seen the movie yet, but seeing all the promotion for the movies has forced me to take a trip down memory lane.  Facebook was launched in 2005, I remember this clearly.  When it first launched it was for college students only.  There was a lot of buzz about Facebook when it first started.  I remember asking what is Facebook and being told that it was like Myspace, but better.  The word of Facebook spread from one campus to another through friends who had one.  There were a couple of requirements as well.  One, you had to have a school email and two, your school had to have a network created by the site on it. 

Man Hunt

Today while at my cousins' soccer game, my uncle suggested I should meet this guy.  His exact words were "Someday this guy will make a lot of money."  My reaction, "Someday???"  Yes, someday because he is a bioengineer major at UC Davis.  While this guy does meet the education standard, things could go either way in other ways.  I'm sure he's not terrible looking, otherwise my uncle would never suggest it, but I'm sure he's no Matt Lanter either.  I could live with that though as long as I was attracted to him.  The only problem I have with this whole thing is, I don't know what degree he is working on.  If he's still working on his bachelors it would be quite some time before he would be actually done with school.  Bioengineering is not one of the degrees where you get just a bachelors.  Though I keep thinking could be my opportunity meet a guy who has excellent potential.  His career choice would allow me to follow my passion and money not be an issue.  The only problem is I really didn't sound that interested at the time when he suggested it.  Then again, it's hard to be interested in a guy when you have no clue who he is or what he is like.  I am looking and I am willing to be set up, I just don't know if I want it to be by my uncle...  

Mattaholic

In case you haven't noticed, a large portion of my blog is about Matt Lanter. But is called Brittany's Musings and many of my thoughts are about Matt Lanter. Yes, I am a Mattaholic and proud to be one. There are a number of reasons why I love Matt Lanter. The list could go on and on, but really it's hard to put into words what it is about his guy that makes him so great. If you read any of his interviews or follow him on twitter (@MattLanter) I think you could get what I mean. He's just a really great guy, and funny. Matt makes me really just want to hang out with him. I think he's such a cool, down to earth guy. I just want to be friends with him. He is the type of guy that every girl is looking to marry. I hope to someday find my own Matt Lanter...that is if I can't have the real thing...lol

Picture Perfect

There is just some pictures that you are drawn to. It says a lot about the photographer and the model. When I saw this picture I was instantly taken by it.  Automatically you are drawn to the face, clearly the focal point of the picture.  It's not because it is Matt Lanter either.  The contrast between light and dark really makes the object in the foreground pops out from the background.  The expression on the model's face is deep.  It makes you stop wonder what he is thinking. It's almost as if you can look into his eyes and see his soul.  The way the light highlights the top of his hair makes the picture interesting.  That's just it, it's a simple picture yet is so interesting and expresses so much.  This is an incredible piece of art, regardless of who the model is. Elias Tahan is simply brilliant with his ability to create art like this. The fact the the piece the photo as a whole speaks louder than the model reflects this man's talent.  I really love this photograph.  It's pure genius.

90210 - The Bachelors Preview

Who would you like to bid on? How much would you be willing to bid? Personally, I'm all about Mr. Matt Lanter and I would be willing to blow a large chunk of my savings. Is it just mean or did Liam go for cheap, I mean I would gladly spend $350 for a date with Liam. Nothing makes for good TV like hot guys wearing firemen outfits and stripping. I for one will never complain if Matt has his shirt off. But I think we can all agree there has been a lack of Liam and that needs to change pronto!

Ummm You're A Teacher???

There seems to be a new trend among teenage dramas. Here's the set-up to the the new theme. There's a girl in a bar, a guy walks in, they have instant chemistry, they kiss, she goes to school and surprise he's the new teacher and she's a student. Yes folks, this is going on in two different shows. We all first saw it on the ABCFamily's hit summer show Pretty Little Liars and last night we saw it on the CW's Life Unexpected. When I saw that "Erik" was the new teacher at Lux's teacher, my instant reaction was they are copying Pretty Little Liars. I have a feeling we can all predict what is going to happen next on Life Unexpected especially if you've watched Pretty Little Liars. What do you think? You know it's wrong, yet you find yourself rooting for the couples. Aren't Aria and Ezra destined to be together??? Maybe this works because they didn't know who each other were before they discovered one was a student and the other a teacher. Who knows. This goes to show that there are some things that work for television that do not fly in real life. We shall just have to wait and see.

It's almost here....

Fall TV is in the air, which means the return of all of our favorite TV shows. While the summer does provide some good entertainment, they cannot compete with the Fall. College football season officially kicked off last Thursday with a win for USC against Hawaii (yay!). There was another game on, but that was the only one that matter to me. This week the CW is kicking off their new season. The shows I'm looking forward to this week: the new show Hellcats and the return of The Vampire Diaries. Monday's new line-up is also one to look forward to on the CW. 90210 has moved and airs before Gossip Girl now; a place I thought it should have been before they made that decision. Looking forward to seeing Matt Lanter back on my TV screen on a weekly bases. I just saw this clip today. Last season I was completely against Lannie (Liam and Annie), but somehow after watching this clip, they are beginning to grow on me. However, I don't think Naomi is completely out of the picture.
