First, before I begin today’s entry, I want everyone to check out I Love Cute Things! where I recently purchased a pair of originally designed notepads. You’ll find adorable handcrafted trinkets with the perfect personal touch! Plus, her blog, which you can find under the Crafts ‘n Things section of my links, is a lot of fun to read through.
Now, the newest abomination to spew out of MTV is the show Score hosted by the muppet-like Ryan Cabrera.
Cabrera, clearly chosen for his lyrical genius, guides two competing and aspiring singer/songwriters on their quest for 15 minutes of fame. Unlike Nick Cannon Presents: Wild ‘N Out which requires a certain level of wit and talent in impromtu, Score is rehearsed and boring. Cabrera hasn’t been around long enough to give audiences (even 14-year-old ones, at that) his personal insight on the lyrical creativity of his contestants. Even if, say, Cabrera’s songs were remotely listenable his stage presence alone makes one cringe; his gravity defying hair is more acceptable in a Dragonball Z universe than it is on TV.
Moving on to even worse TV: I know Mind of Mencia is a new favorite on Comedy Central and I can’t deny that it might have it’s moments (which, unfortunately, are only found on the website with unaired clips like “Ask Carlos”) but I think we should all be honest with ourselves: Mencia’s show exists only and only to fill the greatly missed gap of Dave Chapelle. Since it would be difficult to top Chapelle’s racial humor, Comedy Central scrambled to find the next best thing. But, Mencia really isn’t that funny, at least not Chapelle funny. He hollars into the microphone but only succeeds in being loud and obnoxious. Besides, just because I’m on the rebound from Chapelle doesn’t mean I’m desperate enough to watch Mencia. Rick James has a special place in my heart, bitch.
I’m pleased to report that the UNICEF Trick-or-Treat fundraising page I’ve created recieved a $5.00 donation today! All the money from the fundraising website goes directly to help with recent disasters such as Hurricane Katrina/Wilma, the floods in Mexico and the Pakistan earthquakes. Keep sending the love!

Who the hell is Ryan Cabrera?! I had to google him to see what songs he sings, and that still didn’t clear up anything. I guess MTV will give any old shmuck their own show nowadays. Except me.
Bastards.

Ehh.. I’m not too fond of Ryan, he scares me. I think it’s hair. That can do some serious damage if he whips his head around too fast. MTV seems to play more stupid and pointless shows than actually music.

lmao ya know his hair has always bothered me but I never thought long enough to notice that it does look like a dragonball z spinoff. Half the contestants on ’score’ can’t sing or they lied on their application by saying they could play the guitar or some other miscellaneous instrument. It’s a great show to sit and make fun of though, that’s about the only perk I can find.
And 5.00 eh? I tried raising money for the red cross from my advertising but nothing happened. If I had enough to give ya I would lord knows those poor souls need it more than I ever will!
