Jake Gyllenhaal makes a better Persian

As I sit behind my computer and glare at my reflection in my monitor (hey there, you handsome devil *winks at self*), I can’t help but to bask in the knowledge that while I’m an overall badass (read: shabby grad student whose nights are generally preoccupied with PS2 and hookah smoking) I’m also refreshingly modest. It is this modesty that allows for girls to love me, all the while placing me in the “friend zone”. So with that said, it was no surprise to me when director Mike Newell called me up to be his leading man in the upcoming Disney movie, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. While my wit, charm, and overall good looks would have made me a perfect candidate for the lead role of Prince Dastan, I informed Mr. Newell of a little known fact. Why cast a real Persian when you would be much better off with a slightly tanned Caucasian? Enter the dreamy Jake Gyllenhaal.

So why would a Persian himself (I hate that term, but for the purpose of this article I’ll stick with it) recommend Jake Gyllenhaal for the role of the Prince of Persia over an actual Persian? Well, ladies and gentleman, if you haven’t had the distinct pleasure of knowing the stereotypical Persian male, let me fill you in!

1. Jake Gyllenhaal doesn’t need to have his entire upper body (including back) waxed in order not to look like a rabid wolverine emerging from his winter hibernation.

2. Is Jake Gyllenhaal rich? Sure he is. But is he Persian rich, I think not. Casting a real Persian male would probably require a parking spot reserved for his 2009 black on black Mercedes (leased, not owned). Furthermore, I think only a military contractor, such as KBR, could provide enough hair gel to keep said Persian man happy during filming of the movie.

3. While I hear film crews are usually laid back, I think they could only take so much ATB, Tiesto, Benny Benassi, Armin van Burren, and Paul Oakenfold blasting from a real Persian actor’s trailer before going all “Christian Bale” up on his ass.

4. No girl would be HOT enough to play opposite of said Persian guy. Yes, this male may look like a used douche that climbed out of a decrepit toilet but his standards for women are out of this world. “Pssshhh….You were a Victoria Secret supermodel? That is soo average.”

 These of course are only a few of the personality traits that lead me to firmly believe that Jake Gyllenhaal will in fact be better for the role of the Prince of Persia. As for this Prince of Persia (yours truly, who in no way suffers from the above mentioned characteristics), I will continue my modest lifestyle knowing that one day, I too will find my fictional princess who will appreciate my ethnic charms. Until then, I got zombies to slay on PS2 and a hookah looking at me, as if saying, “Shit son, I’m not gonna smoke myself now am I?”

In case you don’t take my word, here is a simple compare and contrast if you will.

  

Bakfylla…..

Rochelle – My Magic Man

Gillade verkligen den här låten en gång i tiden, ja ungefär ett par månader på sin höjd. Sen var det examenstider på gymnasiet med tillhörande fester och utflykter och efter en kombinerad fest/utflykt så kom jag fortsättningsvis bara att associera den här låten med en jobbig bakfylla, något som sitter i än till denna dag, och med det menar jag inte själva bakfyllan förstås.

Min klass på gymnasiet i Västervik gjorde nämligen en utflykt till en klasskompis stuga ute på en skärgårdsö i Västerviks skärgård där vi skulle ha fest nån vecka innan själva examen. Jag och en annan kille i min klass hade gått ihop och fixat ett flak öl som vi skulle dela på. För att göra det extra bonnigt så valde vi att införskaffa ett flak Pripps Blå av någon dunkel anledning. I normala fall var det annars Beck’s Bier som gällde.

Vi kom så ut till ön och preparationerna inför kvällens fest drog genast igång. Men min kompis och jag behövdes inte till något mer än att sköta musiken så vi satte oss istället och började hinka i oss öl. Sen blev det mat och till maten bjöds det på snaps, något som vi drack fler än lämpligt. Efter maten minns jag att det så var dags att spela skogsfotboll, dvs man gör upp en fotbollsplan mitt inne i skogen bland träd och buskar och så spelar man. Kan ju nämna att med alkohol i kroppen så var det fråga om väldigt lite bollkontakt. Istället så blev det träd- och stenbumlingskontakt vilket iofs inte kändes av så mycket då, men desto mer när man nyktrat till.

Ja, sen minns jag inte så mycket mer än att jag vaknade på morgonen med mina freestylelurar på mig och den här låten dånandes för fullt i öronen. Så hade jag inte huvudvärk innan så bidrog musiken garanterat till den saken. Hur som helst så kunde jag inte somna om igen utan istället följde en väldigt långdragen bakfylla som inte släppte taget om mig förrän dagen efter “dagen efter” så att säga.

Finner det ointressant att dra alla detaljer då jag är säker på att de flesta som läser detta någon gång haft en sån där bakfylla från helvetet som liksom aldrig vill ge med sig. Det som är värst är att den här låten satte sig som en slinga i huvudet som jag inte kunde bli av med och som har gjort att jag förmodligen för resten av mitt liv inte kommer att kunna lyssna på den utan att påminnas om den där eländiga bakfyllan från tiden när jag skulle gå ut gymnasiet.

Indie Girl Vs. Metal Chick

Who would you rather?

 

Indie Girl

alice glass

Playlist

• The New Pornographers
• Yeah Yeah Yeah
• Crystal Castles
• Andrew Bird

 

OR

 

Metal Chick

metal chick

 Playlist

• Bleeding Through
• Devildriver
• Carcass
• Scar Symmetry

 

Personally, I would prefer an indie girl as I don’t like my gir l to look tougher than me, so the metal chick can be my best buddy with benefits(*wink). An indie girl would make a good girlfriend as she would have a relatively good taste in music, and so I can talk to her all day about music without getting bored. She would then send me a compilation CD she mixed herself with great indie tracks in it for me to listen to it all day. I would too return the love by creating a personal CD mix  for her, and this way we can express our love for each other through music. How romantic.

Anyway, if you are wondering I define indie.

Indie girl = Dressing style + (Good)Indie music taste

 

If you listen to rnb, or hip hop, or whatever pop shit like tranny gaga, your a poseur. Many local girls here in Singapore dress indie but when you look into their MP3s, all you find is garbage. A VERY big turnoff, unless you look like Denise Richards. You can then tell me my music sucks, and still share the same bed as me.

GD vs Taeyang in November? I'm not sure

Here’s what they said in ALKPOP (it’s probably everywhere now, I think I’m the latest person to post it)

they’re gonna have a GD vs YB in November… o_o

” G-Dragon and Taeyang–YG Family’s finest. One boasts an eclectic style with a hip-hop flair, while the other will melt your heart with his smooth and soulful beats. Both spent the latter half of their childhoods training under YG Entertainment, and through exceptional hard work and dedication, became recognized for their talents throughGDYB and Big Bang. Through all the blood, sweat, and tears, these two artists made it. G-Dragon and Taeyang, who took the path to stardom together, may very well end up going head to head this upcoming November.

G-Dragon, who released his debut solo album Heartbreaker in August, will be promoting his album until November. Taeyang’s second solo album, originally reported to be scheduled for an October release date, will most likely be postponed until November. This means that the promotional periods for G-Dragon and Taeyang’s albums will overlap in the month of November.

According to company president YG, “With the recent release of his album, G-Dragon will promote every other week instead of doing a lot of broadcastings. Fans are really interested in all the tracks off his album, not just the ones that he is promoting. Taeyang may release his album in late November, so he and G-Dragon will probably promote their solo activities at the same time.”

In addition, fans have been wondering whether G-Dragon and Taeyang will perform a special stage together for their song Korean Dream off G-Dragon’s album. YG explained that because the two of them will be promoting their solo projects at the same time, “it’s possible that they will come together to perform ‘Korean Dream.’”

Although a showdown between these two old friends seems inevitable, at least fans can look forward to a possible joint stage featuring a fusion of both artists’ talents. But whether it’s on or off the stage, solo or group activity, G-Dragon and Taeyang will, without a doubt, always be supporting one another.”

So whaddaya think? Should it be a tie, both of them winning, GD, YB or nothing at all?
