Facebook Entertainment

I know most of you have Facebook accounts and occasionally roll off the couch here and there to post status updates.  I am here to tell you, some of you are not writing the most exciting Facebook status updates.  It's OK... these things happen!

We all know the goal of Facebook should be to entertain your friends and family members.  So let's step it up out there.  If you like to post a particular type of status update each time you login, spice it up each day.  No one wants to hear the same mundane details of your life day after day... put a twist on it!  Search for some funny status update ideas and then post them.

While we are on the subject, don't forget you can post videos on your Facebook page from YouTube.  Maybe you downloaded a cool video.  Well, you can share it.  Maybe you found a great new music video.  Well, share that, too.  Remember, caring is sharing!

Don't forget to post funny photos or share funny photos, but also, don't overwhelm everyone on your friend list with them either.  No one wants to see 10 photos in a row of weird animals.  Choose one or two and share them.  For those of you cluttering your friends news feed, it is not appreciated. 

So have fun, be entertaining, but don't overwhelm people on your friend list.  For more Facebook fun, check out these articles:

The Return of Destination Truth

Finally, at long last, the premiere of the 5th season of Destination Truth aired on Tuesday night.  I am a die hard Destination Truth fan, and I was really excited to see it return.  A Destination Truth marathon aired, and then 2 new back-to-back episodes were shown.

If you are a fan of Destination Truth, I do hope you continue to watch the show when it first airs.  The show has not been getting the ratings it needs on Syfy channel.  It almost did not return this season.  If you are a fan, please make sure to view it each week to show your support.

The episodes that aired on Tuesday certainly did not disappoint.  I've already gotten to see Josh fall in a river, get swept away with the current, fling himself off a bike into more water, and see Evan (a camera man from the past) return and have blood run out of his ear.  Seriously, why is anyone NOT watching these shows?  You just can't get this kind of entertainment anywhere else.

I do hope should the show ever be cancelled, perhaps another channel would pick it up.  It is an entertaining show and I feel it would do well on other channels.  Personally, I believe the Travel Channel should grab the show if they ever have a chance.  After all, Josh and his crew go all over the world.  They even go to countries I've never heard of before.  It would be perfect.  Instead of showing episodes of Ghost Adventures all night on Fridays and Saturdays, Destination Truth could take over one night.  I would be more than happy to fall asleep while watching Josh Gates.  Just saying.

Big Ang is Coming!

If you are a big fan of Mob Wives, then I know you are a big fan of Big Ang.  Luckily for all of us, her new show is premiering this Sunday on VH1.  I am super excited.  Mob Wives Chicago is fun, but doesn't have the edge the original show has.  After all, they were fighting over Facebook a couple of weeks ago. 

So now, I am all about Big Ang and her show.  Give me my original mob wives peeps anyday.  Get ready for all the wackiness and fun that is Big Ang.  I know I'll be watching it.

Who is Molly?

I would like to take the time to save some of you out there some major embarrassment.  I consider myself someone who is usually up on all pop culture references.  I watch The Soup, check out the internet daily, and most of all, keep up with celebrity tweets on Twitter (don't worry, that last one was a joke).  However, I was stumped recently. 

While walking along the boardwalk in Ocean City, MD, my friend and I like looking at all the random t-shirts being sold at shops.  This past week, we went to Ocean City and enjoyed the standard t-shirts with insults, celebrity references, and Jersey Shore quotes.  But there was one shirt that popped up all over the place.  Every shop had one or more versions of this shirt.  They featured phrases like, "I am looking for Molly," or "Can you help me find Molly?" or "Molly makes me want to dance."  We had only one question: who the hell is Molly?

Molly is quite the popular gal all over the boardwalk.  There were even guys wearing the t-shirts everywhere we went.  We were confused.  We almost started to ask someone wearing the shirt, "Who is Molly?"  Some shirts even had a photo of a girl with tape over her mouth.  Is Molly missing?  Has she been kidnapped?  Wow, we were confused.

After taking some time to investigate this mystery once I got home, I learned Molly is actually a club drug.  Molly is MDMA and a stronger form of Ecstasy.  Apparently it is hard to find, which is why people are looking for Molly.  Upon further investigation, I discovered there is even a music video devoted to Molly.  The girl in the video is the girl whose photo was on the shirts.  Well, now it all makes sense.

For me, personally, I feel pretty good that I did not know who or what Molly referred to on all the t-shirts.  I am not into the drug scene, and therefore, I do not want to promote drugs in anyway in this blog.  However, to save anyone else some embarrassment on the boardwalk this summer, I wanted to let you know the true meaning of these shirts.  This way, you won't do something embarrassing like approach a random guy wearing a Molly shirt.  I don't think that would be such a great idea.

Even if I disapprove of drug use, I've found the song has actually grown on me.  In my own warped way, I would like to believe some people were not even into the drug scene, but just simply liked the song.  So here is a video in case you are interested...

P.S. This is definitely an R-rated video.  If you are easily offended, don't bother watching this.

You Should Be Eating Frozen Yogurt

There was a time when I had doubts that frozen yogurt could be as good as ice cream.  However,  I was wrong!  Frozen yogurt is better for you since it has live and active cultures in it. Also, it can be simply delicious.

A new frozen yogurt restaurant, Yolavie, opened up at my mall recently.  Not only is the frozen yogurt wonderful, there are so many flavors to choose from.  You can get peach, coconut, chocolate, cookies and cream, cake batter, red velvet, and more.  Also, everything is self service, so you decide how much you want.  Then you get to add the toppings you like to it.  You can pick from strawberries, brownie bites, cheesecake bites, sprinkles, chocolate chip, gummy worms, syrup, etc.  When you are done, you weigh it and pay for it.

I absolutely love the self service aspect of it.  I am picky about my food and I can make sure it is made just the way I want it.  If I want to add just one gummy worm with 30 chocolate chips, that is my right to do it!

I know I rarely encourage people to actually get off their couches, but it is well worth it to get this frozen yogurt.  You won't even realize it isn't actually ice cream!

Cookie Butter from Trader Joe's

Are you ready to kick back and eat something so wrong, yet so right?  Well, you'd better brace yourself!  Trader Joe's has a new product called Cookie Butter.  No, I am not kidding!  Cookie Butter!

Cookie Butter looks just like peanut butter, yet it tastes like something you've never had before.  Basically, it tastes like gingerbread squeezed into a jar.  It is smooth like butter though.  OK, it is kind of a mystery spread.  It is quite sweet with a ginger snap flair to it.  Nutella better look out! 

What will you do with the Cookie Butter once you have it?  Trader Joe's suggests using it on pancakes or waffles. You can also use it as a peanut butter substitute.  You might want to serve it on ice cream or dip pretzels in it.  I suggest simply taking a spoon and digging in.  Have you ever eaten peanut butter straight from the jar?  It works just as well for this product, too.

If you are looking for a new mystery treat, you should visit Trader Joe's and buy some of this stuff.  It is delicious, yet so weird I can't describe it.  With a review like that, how can you resist?

Grant's Last Night on Ghost Hunters

If you are a fan of Ghost Hunters, surely you know Grant is quitting the group.  Yes, Grant decided he had a number of personal issues going on and needed to leave Ghost Hunters.  This is disappointing, but also, it has given Syfy an opportunity to milk this event for all it is worth.

For weeks, Ghost Hunters commercials have announced, "Watch Grant's last days!" and "These are Grant's final investigations!"  Seriously, they might want to calm down.  We are all sad Grant is leaving, but it shouldn't be the only thing Syfy channel is talking about. 

If I hear one more time, "Watch the episode that changes everything," I am going to scream.  Syfy channel - stop trying to get ratings simply because Grant is leaving.  What is next?  "Tune in next season to see Grant show up on one episode for 5 minutes!" or "Witness Grant's return!" when Grant decides he wants to come back anyway.

Seriously, all of this is just silly.  Let Grant leave and stop trying to make ratings out of it!
