Thumbs Down: Doing Laundry

Admit it. Your life would be a lot better if laundry just washed, dried, and folded itself instead of you having to get up and do it.

Thumbs Down: eBooks

Media technology has enabled people to purchase eBooks and kindles, which is the device eBooks are downloaded onto. I frown upon this unprecedented apparatus with contempt. An electronic book just isn't the same as holding a real book crammed with pages between the front and back cover. Books may be in jeopardy of gradual demise.

Thumbs Up: Gold and Silver on the DS

Two BIG thumbs up for the remakes of Pokémon Gold and Silver versions on the DS. Pokémon was my childhood; my very first video game was Pokémon: Blue version. I spent countless hours on that game. But then, Gold and Silver versions came out and completely changed the Pokémon universe forever, with features such as a 24-hour day/night cycle, a seven-day week, swarms of Pokémon, and the phone. In my opinion, Gold and Silver were and still are the epitome of the entire series, so it goes without saying that I am completely stoked for these remakes.

Thumbs down Slow Computers

Right when you are on a deadline and you need your computer to work properly, that is exactly when it decides to freeze! There is nothing you can do to make it work properly. In fact, anything you do will definitely make it worse. I hate slow computers when I'm trying to get things done!

Thumbs Up: Fast Food

Food-thumbs up: MacDonald's, Burger King, and In-n-Out Burger! You name and I love it! This summer I am going to gain 250 pounds from eating all that fast food! Oh yeah and lets not forget all the Fried Chicken, Corn, Mac and cheese, and Yams that my grandma and dad are going to make fro all the B-day Parties and Holidays this summer!

Thumbs Up

My Truck

I slid my truck into a wall and my truck is fine. The wall is damaged. Lesson learned: Don't mess with my truck --Jay

Thumbs Up: Beer This isn't your typical, "I love beer" Thumbs Up that is focused on buying the domestic light brews you can find at 7-11. With hot weather slowly creeping upon us, find your best cold one at specialty shops such as BevMo. Thumbs Up for Blue Moon, Shock Top, Pyramid and Anchor Steam. Get some true flavor in your mouth, slosh it around, and enjoy. -Paul Reyes

Thumbs Down: Finals

You work hard all semester only to be punished with a big important test that can destroy the grade you worked so hard to build all year. You can fail finals, and destroy your grade because you simply collapse under pressure or the anxiety gives you a fever, sore throat and cough. No thanks!

Thumbs Up: Gurren Lagann

This series is just made of manliness and awesome. From beginning to end the scale of this just gets bigger and bigger. Also involved are walking heads, some sweet sunglasses, and girls in boxes.
