Paranormal Activity Keeps You Awake! By: Jai Prakash Srivastava
I ventured out to the theater Saturday night to see Paranormal Activity because the suspense was killing me! I must say that I was slightly annoyed at the fact that I had no choice but to pay more to watch it in the "Director's Hall". The only difference between this theater and the regular one is the fact that they have leather seats and ushers available nearby so you don't need to wait in line to order a $5.00 bottle of water. I was happy with the fact that the armrests pull up so you can sit closer to your significant other. The movie theater armrests are always set too high and are annoying so I sucked it up and realized that it may have been worth the extra cash for this little amenity. Enough about that- let's get to the movie.(read entire article)(posted on: 2009-12-25)

Five Musicians Who Should Have Been Famous By: Jai Prakash Srivastava
Pete Best, Former Drummer, The Beatles
How can you be kicked out of the greatest rock band ever? Pete Best goes down in history as the most famous person, famous for not being famous. Best left the band just two years before their historic Ed Sullivan show. The reasons behind Pete Best's notorious 1962 dismissal as The Beatles' drummer have been a point of debate among Beatlemaniacs for decades. Some claim he lacked the solid beats needed to support a rock band, while others claim John and Paul vainly wanted a less attractive drummer. Considering his replacement was the dubious-looking Ringo Starr, the second theory actually seems likely.(read entire article)(posted on: 2009-12-25)

Facebook Friends By: Jai Prakash Srivastava
Whenever my friend is having a party I always show up late. I just don’t want to be the first one there. I like to wait and let the party settle in before I show up.

There is the “Couch Potatoâ€, “Mr. I have to Drive Tonightâ€, “The Meatheadâ€, the list goes on. Me, well I’m the “Late Guyâ€.(read entire article)(posted on: 2009-12-25)
