In other News : Talk About bad luck
A federal judge hands down an 11-month sentence to T.I. for violating various terms of his probation.
Thursday, when asked about his role in preventing an Atlanta man from jumping from a 22-story building, T.I., said “I don't expect this to have any different impact on any of my circumstances.” It’s not clear if he was correct or not, as U.S. District Judge Charles Pannell Jr. ordered him to return to prison for 11 months for violating the terms of his probation. TMZ reports one of the officers from Wednesday’s suicide attempt testified on T.I.’s behalf.After his September 1 arrest in California, T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, was charged of committing three violations of his supervised prison release: testing positive for opiates, possessing ecstasy, and associating with a convicted felon. A probation officer originally recommended 14 months of prison time for the Grammy award winning rapper, but lawyers for T.I. contended that such sentencing guidelines were for violent career criminals. The aforementioned argument was made on the basis that Tip’s prior conviction for assaulting a Florida police detective does not qualify as a violent felony.
T.I. is expected to appeal the case and remain free on bond until he is either sentenced or the charges overturned through the appeal process.

Sheldon: This is for you
Penny: Ice cream?

Wolowitz: Okay forgot
Raj: Big or small, I don't like rabbits. They always look like they're about to say something, but they never do.
Sheldon: Rabbits do have a respiratory system that would support great size. And as a side note, they are one of the few animals whose scrotum is on the front of the penis.
Raj: Maybe that's what they want to talk about.

Sheldon: Oh, I doubt that. I haven't figured out a way, and I'm much smarter than all of you.
Penny: Yes, buy you're not smaller than all of us put together.
Sheldon: I'm sorry, that is what I meant.
Penny: I once got a pretty big honor in high school, and I was terrified about appearing in front of a big crowd, but I went through with it, and you know what? The world looked pretty darn good sitting on a haystack in the back of a Ford F-150 as a member of the corn queen's court.
Sheldon: Thank you. I'll bear that in mind if I'm ever nomianted for the hillbilly peace prize.
Leonard: What, to you, is a large crowd?
Sheldon: Any group big enough to trample me to death. General rule of thumb is 36 adults or 70 children.
Sheldon: I can't give a speech.
Wolowitz: No, you're mistaken. You give speeches all the time. What you can't do is shut up.
Raj: Before the movie, you did twenty minutes on why guacamole turns brown. It turned brown while you were talking.

Season 3, Episode 17: "The Precious Fragmentation"
Wolowitz: How's it feel to get beaten up by a girl?Sheldon: It's not the first time. I have a twin sister whose assaults began in utero. If only I'd had the presence of mind to absorb her. Then I'd have a mole with hair in it, instead of a tedious yearly Christmas letter.

Sheldon: Do you recognize this?
Leonard: Not the roommate agreement!
Sheldon: Indeed, the roommate agreement. I call your attention to the friendship rider in Appendix C: Future Commitments, Number 37. In the event one friend is ever invited to visit the Large Haldron Collider, now under construction in Switzerland, he shall invite the other friend to accompany him.
Leonard: For god's sake!

Sheldon: He can't kill me, even if I turned.
Penny: Ts there anything in there if one of you gets a girlfriend?
Sheldon: No, that seemed a little far fetched.

Sheldon: I have a master's degree and two doctorates. The things I should know, I do know.
Sheldon: Amy pointed out that, between the two of us, our genetic material has the potential of producing the first in a line of intellectually superior, benign overlords to guide humanity to a brighter tomorrow.

Sheldon: Apparently, a semi-incestuous Teens for Jesus hoedown didn't count.

Amy: If that was slang, I'm unfamiliar with it. If it was literal, I share your aversion to soiled hosiery.
Wolowitz: Okay, what if I were to tell you, tomorrow at 4:30, you could meet a woman who has been scientifically chosen to be your perfect mate?
Sheldon: I would snort with derision and throw my arms in the air, exhausted by your constant tomfoolery.
Sheldon: Incidentally, one can get beaten up in school simply by referring to oneself as one.

Penny: Oh God.

Ladies ladies ladies...world cup season!
1. DO NOT ask stupid questions during a match or utter stupid remarks e.g. “Si I thought Messi plays 4 Barcelona!!!”
2. A soccer match is a testosterone filled contact sport. It is about will power, skill and team work. It is not a beauty pageant. So please, do not comment on the appearance of certain players or the uniforms esthetic value e.g. “I want Portugal to win. Christiano Ronaldo is so cute.”
3. As of 11th June to 11th July, all soap operas and talk shows are hereby forbidden and outlawed. The mere utterance of ‘Alehandro’ will be met by stiff penalties to the fullest extent of insults.
4. Ladies, you are expected to learn some basics about football before the world cup. This is to avoid any embarrassment to you or to your man. E.g. If the goalkeeper picks up the ball with his hands, do not cry out “HANDBALL!!!!”
5. Ladies, your man, that is your boyfriend or husband, by birthright, is not expected to perform any favors or chores during the course of the match. Football is sacred and any interference of this solemn ritual will be termed as sacrilege.
6. If you have anything to say to a man, take note that whatever it is, it is trivial in comparison to the football match. So please, a word of advice; true love waits till half time.
7. Ladies, you are expected to cook and provide refreshments for the boys as they watch a match. It is your duty. Embrace it.
8. In the case that an African team faces a non African team, you are expected by default to support our African brothers as they valiantly fight against Babylon. Do not; by any means support some Scandinavian country because you think their captain look like Micheal Scofield.
9. Ladies, please, do not complain why they are not passing the ball to the guy with the whistle. He’s the referee!
10. Finally, if your man’s team looses, mourn with him, you may even get him a beer. And insist that the ref was unfair and biased.
All ladies are hereby required to have firm knowledge of these guidelines, print them, and memorize them before the world cup

Half Undone
Dont you just hate it when you listening to music by an artist or a band who keep surprising you in the wrong way, and sometimes the right way? Ok,hate may be a tad strong a word, but you gotta admit it,when a song has a crazy title and you're all psyked up to listen to it,but when you actually do, you're left with a bland look on you're face? Or a song you have on your ipod / phone and never listen to, but when it plays in the club you're like "Damn,that sounds nice-where have I heard it before?". For the former, I blame some punk-rock bands-they have some crazy names and they always lead you to think-"I have got to get their album!" But when you do, you're like...REFUND! For the latter, Blue October and Kanye West stand out. OK Kanye is abit too consistent in his delivery, ie. good title, good song, always. Am on a Blue October kick right now. Their videos make them look like the original Weird Al Yankovic, but i like their delivery,and diversity. At least they aren't Marilyn Monroe-this person's(yes,person,because I do not think he has a gender,and its not a compliment) music enjoys cult like status,and making you want to ask,liberal as you may be-whats is the fricking world coming to??
So today, I want you all to listen to A Quiet mind by Blue October, and also Half Undone, by the same band. Yeah, that was it...that was what the whole title was about

Welcome to Heartbreak by Kanye West.
My friend showed me pictures of his kids
And all I could show him was pictures of my cribs
He said his daughter got a brand new report card
And all I got was a brand new sports car, oh
And my head keeps spinning
Can't stop having these visions, I gotta get with it
And my head keeps spinning
I can't stop having these visions, I gotta get with it
Dad cracked a joke, all the kids laughed
But I couldn't hear him all the way in first class
Chased the good life my whole life long
Look back on my life and my life gone
Where did I go wrong?
And my head keeps spinning
Can't stop having these visions, I gotta get with it
And my head keeps spinning
I can't stop having these visions, I gotta get with it
I've seen it, I've seen it before
I've seen it, I've seen it before
I've seen it, I've seen it before
I've seen it, I've seen it before
Oh my God, sister getting married by the lake
But I couldn't figure out who I'd wanna take
Bad enough that I showed up late
I had to leave before they even cut the cake
Welcome to heartbreak
And my head keeps spinning
Can't stop having these visions, I gotta get with it
And my head keeps spinning
I can't stop having these visions, I gotta get with it
Well. I just have to give credit where its due.
