It's been a while since I've had three things to blog about on the same day; in fact, it's never happened before. But there's a first time for everything, including pigs flying, so I guess today is as good a day as any to write a blog entry that comes in three sections. It may even have more if I think of something else to blog about before I'm done. But enough about this blog entry, let's get started with this blog entry.

 Google Chrome

It has long been rumored (primarily among me) that Google™ is planning to take over the world. They confirmed this news (more or less) yesterday when they released their new web browser, known as Google Chrome. Clearly, this is just the next step in a long and well-thought-out plan to dominate not only the internet, but computers themselves. Next will be the Google Operating System (commonly referred to as "GoogleOp") and then will come Google Hardware (commonly referred to as "Ha ha we own everything!"). The only way to prevent Google from controlling our everyday lives in the near future is to refuse hands down to download and use Google Chrome. So needless to say, I downloaded and installed Google Chrome yesterday, and then I used it a bit.

It's actually a very interesting browser. There's no Title Bar and the Address Bar is underneath the Tab Bar, which features a more animated drag-and-drop tab feature than other browsers and even allows you to drag and drop tabs across windows. (If you didn't understand any of the previous sentence, feel free to replace the whole thing with the opening line of your favorite song.) It also features a new "Incognito Mode", which allows private browsing provided no one is standing behind you. Another notable feature is "stats for nerds", which can be found through the Task Manager and which confused me so much that I eventually gave up and replaced the whole thing with the opening line of my favorite song.

In the end, though, the simplicity and out-of-your-way style of Google Chrome weren't enough to get me to switch browsers. I'm still using Maxthon, a feature-heavy browser that I would recommend to absolutely anyone. Looks like Google's takeover of the world will have to proceed without me.

 90210

A common technique among marketing experts is to build upon success. For example, if they've ever been successful in the past, they re-use the exact same idea again even though it's a whole new decade. So it came as no surprise yesterday when The CW brought back the hit '90s TV show "Beverly Hills, 90210", this time cleverly renamed "90210". It especially came as no surprise because they had been advertising it for months.

Here's my question though: Shouldn't they have waited exactly two years to premiere the spin-off version? Then the date would have been 9/02/10, so fans of the original series would have been partying together anyway. Plus, it would have kept alive the show's tradition of existing one decade, then not existing the next. (The original series ran from 1990 to 2000.) On the other hand, it's hard to be sure the series didn't exist during the past eight years. It may have simply been in hiding, disguised as other TV shows. After all, it's not like there's been a shortage of TV shows about rich high school kids in Southern California. The CW saw to that.

2008 NFL Season Predictions

This segment is basically just a place for me to publish my predictions for the upcoming NFL season so I can prove I made them before kickoff. Unfortunately, my phony March Madness predictions kind of destroyed my credibility.

Part Four of this Blog Entry

I didn't actually think of anything else to blog about, but I figured I should include a part four anyway. Don't worry, there isn't a part five.

Part Five

You know, you should really learn to stop trusting me.

If you ever trusted me in the first place, then you are a hopeless moron.

September is a time of change in this country. Summer ends and football begins. Other than that, not much happens, but my opening sentence had to sound interesting. If you're really desperate for something to happen this month though, here's a bunch of pointless holidays you can celebrate:

Stupid Holidays in September

Day	Holiday	My Random Opinions
1	Emma M. Nutt Day	Emma sure M a Nutt. She got her own day and she put it on the same day as Labor Day. (Ignore the fact that this is only true every few years.)
2	National Beheading Day	The question is, which nation are you beheading? Probably France.
3	Skyscraper Day	Invented by Spider-Man, who got tired of trying to webswing in Medford, Wisconsin.
4	Newspaper Carrier Day	Aslo known as "Get Up at the Crack of Dawn Day".
5	Be Late for Something Day	...like your newspaper route. Who wants to get up that early anyway?
6	Fight Procrastination Day	I procrastinated yesterday. Now I have to be late for something today instead. I guess I'll fight procrastination tomorrow.
7	Neither Rain nor Snow Day	I'm going to laugh really hard when it rains that day. Notice I said "when" not "if".
8	International Literacy Day	What was that second word? I couldn't read it.
9	Teddy Bear Day	Spend some quality time with your teddy bear today. Just be careful; teddy bears are prone to injury.
10	Sewing Machine Day	I warned you that teddy bears were prone to injury!
10	Swap Ideas Day	My idea is to go jump in a lake. What's yours?
11	No News is Good News Day	Invented by a newspaper who wanted to make their competitors look bad. Unfortunately, they didn't realize until too late that it made the whole industry look bad.
13	Defy Superstition Day	This day is never honored due to the fact that it is also Fortune Cookie Day.
15	Make a Hat Day	Make a hat! I don't know how to make a hat! I don't even know what I would make it out of!
15	Felt Hat Day	Oh. I'm still not making a hat.
16	Collect Rocks Day	I collect stepping stones. I keep them in people's gardens all over the world. You might have seen some of them.
19	International Talk Like A Pirate Day	ARRRRG! I'm going ter type like a pirate terday! Imagine I typed that like a pirate. I'm not sure it's actually possible.
20	National Punch Day	Would you like some punch? You would? POW! Imagine my blog punched you. I know that's not possible.
21	International Peace Day	International peace is impossible at this point, due to all the people who punched each other yesterday.
22	Business Women's Day	I think it's good that women can be in business these days...
23	Dog in Politics Day	...but that's just over the top.
26	Johnny Appleseed Day	Most people don't know this, but his real name was John Q. Public.
27	Crush a Can Day	First, make sure of two things: (1) there's something in the can, and (2) it's aimed at your neighbor's car.
28	Ask a Stupid Question Day	Such as "What is the coolest blog in the world?" (Mine, duh.)
28	National Good Neighbor Day	If your car was covered in Mountain Dew yesterday, then you don't have good neighbors.
30	National Mud Pack Day	Another good thing to aim at your neighbor's car.

If your car gets mysteriously muddy in a few weeks, then your neighbor is a moron.

I've faced a lot of scary things in my life: the dentist, spiders the size of my big toe, and the stock market just to name a few. But none of them can compare to what I had to face today. The Public Education System! That's right, today was the first day of school for me. Actually, it's not that bad this year. I'm going into 11th grade, so I don't have to take math anymore. Which, given the choice, I would choose over ending world hunger. I also don't have to take science anymore. In fact, my first three classes are downright easy. Now that I think about it, the public education system isn't all that bad. Sure, it's horribly inefficient and completely ineffective, but private schools probably make you do work.

If you don't oppose standardized testing, then you are a moron.

While you probably didn't know this, today is a very special occasion. Aside from being National Radio Day, it is also the six month anniversary of when I started this blog. It's hard to believe it's been six months already— or maybe it's hard to believe it's only been six months; either way, I'm sure something about this is hard to believe.

During the past six months, my blog has accomplished many great achievements, and surprisingly it has also achieved many great accomplishments. Among these great accomplishments, my blog has:

1. become the first blog in the world to reach 1,500 visitors. (Excludes several thousand blogs that got there first.)
2. become the best source on the internet for stupid holidays (aside from the source I use).
3. shamelessly promoted my website on several occasions, including that one.
4. cured cancer. No disclaimer necessary. (Disclaimer: This disclaimer is necessary. Oh yeah, and my blog has never cured cancer.)

Okay, so the jury's still out on whether or not those accomplishments are great, or even somewhat cool. Come to think of it, I'm the only one who even considers most of them accomplishments. Oh well, maybe the next six months will be better. I'm still working on that cancer cure.

If you don't consider it an accomplishment to be the 293,874th fastest blog to reach 1,500 visitors, then you are a moron.

Once again, it's time for me to report an up-to-the-minute news story that broke several days ago. This one comes from last Wednesday when two people out for a hike in the woods of northern Georgia came across something that, until now, has been the stuff of legend. A dead Bigfoot costume! How is this the stuff of legend, you ask? Because all previous sightings were of Bigfoot costumes that were alive and well, some of them even pretending to actually be Bigfoot. This one, on the other hand, was found dead in the woods, most likely killed by Russian soldiers who mistakenly thought it was a member of the Georgian Army. (Those two are at war right now, right?)

Anyway, this dead Bigfoot costume is now in it's casket of choice (Bigfoots like to be buried in freezers) with some false teeth stuck in its mouth for the open-casket viewing (by photograph only). It's funeral will be held as soon as people realize this was just another hoax intended to spark new interest in Bigfoot just in time for the release of a DVD entitled "Bigfoot Lives". Farewell Bigfoot costume! We hardly knew ye (until the press conference).

If you actually buy the DVD, then you are an extremely gullible moron.
