Is there anything wrong with my desktop?
Let me know!
As we climb through the Blogboard charts to number one, one has to think, "Will this really get better?"
Well please trust me when I say "YES!"
The plot for number 8 got my attention when watching tv. He is a bad man. But at the same time, a very good one. Good at what he does.
I give to you, my eighth greatest blog of all time.

After seeing highlights of yesterday's St. Louis Cardinals / San Diego Padres game, I got the feeling that Albert Pujols is in the mob. For those of you out there who don't know who he is, he is a baseball player. He is one of the best players in the game today. Anywho, here's what happened.
The first incident was when he was up to bat. The pitcher threw the ball and Albert hit it right back to the pitcher. The ball hit the pitcher right above the nose and he started bleeding. There was blood all over his jersey. ONE DOWN!
The next incident was when he was on third base. He decided to slide into home when he injured the catcher. I think it was the catchers arm.
So...in one game, Albert Pujols injured two men. Is it me, or does he work in the mob. Is his duty to slowly get rid of everyone?
Well the countdown has begun and we have only touched the surface. I promise, and hopefully you people agree, that this countdown will get better. Over the year I have been here, I have written some funny blogs. I've even written many parts to blogs. For example, "The Small Things in Life I Hate" blogs had 15 parts. And one of those is is NUMBER 9 on the countdown.
ENJOY.

The Small Things in Life I Hate (Part 11)
Small Thing #11 The truck with the word "McCracken" on the side
This is an instance where I only saw this once. It was around 6:30am walking to the dreaded schoolbus (small thing #6). It might have been my own imagination, but I know what I saw. I don't know what to say about this. There is one of two things.
When I see a truck with the word "McCracken" on the side, two things come into my head. They are either holding chicken in the truck and delivering it to stores.....or they sell crack. Plain and simple...crack. I was unable to find a picture of a truck with "McCracken" on the side, but you can imagine it.
This was weird and I've only seen it once.
Thanks
Well holla peeps, this is Geroge "Doubler U" Bush and I just finished watching that BET channel, homes. Is it homey or home slice? Which would sound better coming out of my mouth? "Hey, homey?" Or "Hey, home slice?" What do you people think?
Anyway, today, I will be talking about baseball. The great sport that also happens to be Canada's pastime. Because we live in Canada, right? The stratosphere is SO great in the ballpark. And what's great is that on the opening day for the Washington Americanos...er, I mean Nationals, I, as in ME!, get to throw the first pitch. Did you know I was once clocked for a 34 mile an hour fastball? Beat that! I know you can't!
So as the days of January count down, I would like to be the third to say..."WATCH BASEBALL!"
That is pretty much it. Join my next friday for my final Issue of volume 1.
THANKS!
This blog is special because two cool things happened to me, as you will read.

BLOG: A Once in a Lifetime Opportunity
I have had the experience to do two wonderful things in my life. And I am happy to share them with you. Here they are:
1. My parents and I once found money sticking out of an ATM machine ($40) (Couple of years ago)
2. I had no teacher for my first period on Friday (NONE)
Have a great day!
Humble beginnings to a rise in popularity and from a banishment to a new start, I've pretty much had it all. I've been through a lot here at TV.com and had some fights. I love to argue, but I agree a lot. I began by going to the Full House forum everyday. Now, Sportscenter is my top priority, besides the comments other users leave at my blogs.
It all began on 07/25/2007** at 9:56pm. My first blog on the profile that was sssquarepants.
Title: yeah
Message: "I know all about full house. Anyone who dares to challenge me will leave sad."
That's what it began as. After that, I began to write about my normal day, and what I hated in life, no matter how small it was. And thus, continue to write blogs.
It is continuing with my latest blog (not including this one) Posted: 08/12/2008 11:31am
Title: Level 5, 100%
Message: "Damn you TV.com."
And now, I count down my top ten most favorite blogs I've written!

Hello you Olympiads, I am George "Double U" Bush here for the ninth time to talk about the Olympics. As you all are knowering, the Olympics started tomorrow. Many of people have asked me why I didn'ter wanted to go. Them air and being outside in China is bad. Those people wear the masks because someone farted or something!
I love the Olympics. I love to watch the events and all them good stuff. And I guess I should support my home country. They always dominated. They are so good and I see they're basketball team doing good. Yep, lets all hope our great nation of Canada does something good.
Don't we live in Canada? My ho(e) wife is saying no, but she lies about 99.9% of the time. The one and onlyer time she was telling the truth was when she said we were having pop tarts for dinner. That was the mosting happiester day of my life.
First off, let me explain what the Box Office system is. The Box Office keeps track of how much movies make in its opening weekend and for its entire run in the theaters. Final figures for the previous week come out every Tuesday. As we all know, The Dark Knight is storming the Box Office right now as it just entered its third straight week at the number one spot. BUT, is the the Box Office fair compared to say 60 or 70 years ago?
FACTS:
Average price for a movie ticket in the US for 2008 is about $7.00 ($6.41 in 2005)
Average price for a movie ticket in the US for 1948 was 36 cents.
It only takes about 142,857 people to make one million dollars in the Box Office for 2008.
It took about 2,777,777 people to make one million dollars in the Box Office for 1948.
Take Gone With the Wind as an example. This movie came out in 1939. So the price for a movie was even lower than 36 cents. Gone with the Wind made $198,680,470 dollars during its run in the movie theater.
In 1939, I would say the average ticket price was about 25 cents. So, for a movie that made $198,680,470 back in 1939, you are looking at about 794,721,880 number of people watched that movie in the theaters. Now, of course, not that many people saw it because some watched the movie twice.
Take Titanic a different example. The movie came out in 1997 and at that time, the average price for a ticket was $4.59 The movie made $600,788,188 in the Box Office during its run. That means, roughly 130,890,672 people watched it.
So...130,890,672 people for the highest grossing movie all time compared to 794,721,880 people for the 90th highest grossing movie of all time. That doesnt make sense. Why is that fair? The prices have gone up over the years...which is why every new movie is breaking records.
A different way to go:
Now there are different ways the Box Office could do this to keep it fair. One way is that they can keep track of how many people go into a certain movie at each movie theater. This would be very hard to do because of human error such as miscounting.
A much better way is to keep track of the number of tickets sold. I'm sure movie theaters can keep track of that!
So, tell me what you think? And if you read all of this, you are awesome.
