So here’s the deal. There’s a big tropical storm out in the Gulf of Mexico that’s headed our way. We’ll be getting plenty of rainfall throughout the day, and by tomorrow afternoon the tropical storm will have made landfall. It will definitely be hitting my area, as my city is located right in the smack middle of the projected pathway. 
This storm is actually pretty big, so I’m sure it won’t miss us, even if it changes direction at the last moment. Although it’s not a hurricane yet, the water temperature in the Gulf of Mexico is perfect for giving it strength. Especially since there is no more land to slow it down.
I’m pretty sure gas prices will be skyrocketing today as well. Which means I’ll need to go fill up the tank in the truck before people start acting all crazy and swarm all of the gas stations. I’m sure the grocery stores are packed with people trying to buy every single can of non-perishable food on the shelves. 
So, hopefully this storm doesn’t blow up into a hurricane, or cause too much damage. Keep me in your thoughts in case I’m not around for a few days. Hopefully it’ll be nothing more than rain with some heavy wind. *crosses fingers*
So I was watching the MTV Music Awards last night. I usually never get to watch them, but this time I just happened to catch it this year. Here are the highlights from the show, or rather, the things I found most interesting about it:
- Coldplay - their performance was absolutely amazing! “Viva La Vida” is such an awesome song. I can’t wait to get my hands on their album! June 17th!!
- Smoking a Joint - James Franco and Seth Rogan’s “smoking a joint” stunt they did when presenting the award for Best Summer Movie So Far was really lame. I’m guessing they were probably smoking regular tobacco using rolling papers, but I thought it was kind of annoying that the cameras panned out during the whole thing. However, you’re able to see that footage if you go to MTV’s website. The whole time I was watching that clip, I was thinking how gross it was that they were passing the “joint” back and forth and exchanging spit. I’m such a germ freak, I know.
- Best Comedic Performance - I don’t know about you, but the term “comedic” doesn’t really come to mind when I think of Johnny Depp. While I do admit that Captain Jack Sparrow’s antics were quite funny in POTC 3, I was rather shocked to see Johnny Depp win that category. He was up against some really tough competition, including the ever-hilarious Adam Sandler. All the nominees were quite good, with the exception of Amy Adams, of course. He really is a fantastic actor; however, it was quite shocking. It boggles my mind, really. I mean, he was up against Seth Rogan, Jonah Hill, and ADAM SANDLER FOR CHRIST’S SAKE. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to get over that.
- The Orbit Commercial - I honestly wish I had a link to this video so you all could see it. I could not stop laughing when they showed the monkey humping one of the awards! It was just so fuckin’ hilarious. Humping monkeys amuse me to no end.
- MTV Generation Award - First off I have to say that they definitely gave this award to the right person. That man is such an awesome asset to the entertainment industry. He’s given me more ab workouts than my personal trainer did at my old gym! The song he performed was the most egotistical thing ever, but only Adam Sandler could get away with it. Also, Rob Shneider is the only person who can ever get away with wearing a bright yellow spandex suit and a long ass wig in order to dance horribly onstage.
The only thing that bothered me about the whole thing was the fact that they picked Tom Cruise to give him the award. 
The speech sounded forced and monotonous. Oh, and what was up with the whole “Sandman” thing? Yes, I know that’s his nickname, but it doesn’t sound cool at all when it comes out of Tom Cruise’s mouth. He sounded like my dad when he tries to be hip by saying, “Yeah, that’s cool man!” 
Also, there was no need for him to be saying Adam Sandler’s middle name a million times. It just sounded so weird. So formal. So unlike Adam Sandler. Tom Cruise was definitely not the right person to give this award. They ought to fire the person in charge of choosing those people!
So anyway, those are my thoughts on yesterday’s Movie Awards. It’s the stuff I found most interesting, although you probably won’t think so.
I might not be able to update for the next few days. The cable is being cut tomorrow, and who knows when I’ll be able to get a connection going again. Hopefully it won’t take too long, but I guess only time will tell.
