The Apollo Kid

While writing this, there is around 16 hours left in this last day of 2008. Many good things, bad things, and weird things have come and gone as this year flew past, so let me tell you the most memorable moments of 2008.

 

Best Website for Streaming TV Shows and Movies – Hulu.com

 

I ran across this site around the summer time accidentally.  It’s pretty cool because it allows you to stream TV Shows and Movies all FREE of charge!!  So if you got some time to kill and love you some Family Guy, Hulu is where it’s at.

 

Most Overused “Urban” Word of 2008 – Swagger (swăg’ər)

Yes folks I know that many of you may probably use this word religiously, but it’s time to put it away for good, this word shall join the likes of its brethren BLING and CRUNK.  May it rest in peace.

 

 

 

 

Worst Instrument that caught on in Rap Music – The Vocoder (a.k.a Auto-Tune)

This honestly is a tragedy, because it fools you into actually thinking you can reach certain pitches and octaves, but in reality it makes you sound like a robotic ass face that tells the world you lack singing abilities.  T-Pain brought it back, everyone else just dick rode its potential, but unfortunately this whole phenomena is not over yet as there is still more dick riding room left that some lucky chump will possibly ride into stardom.

 

Worst Album from a Credible Artist – 808 and Heartbreaks (Kanye West)

Most Pointless 15 Minutes of Fame – Joe The Plumber

Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher during the 2008 Presidential campaign, is a celebrity, author and has worked as a plumber. During the 2008 U.S. presidential election season, Wurzelbacher was used as an example of middle class Americans after he was videotaped questioning Democratic candidate Barack Obama about his small business tax policy during a campaign stop in Ohio.

 

 

 

Best Pointless 15 Minutes of Fame – Charles Fuller’s $360 billion dollar check

The Genius Charles Fuller tried to cash a 360,000,000,000 check at a local bank saying his girlfriends mother gave him the money to start a record business.  The personal check was not made out to Mr. Fuller and when the bank contacted the check owner, the woman said she did not write a check for $360 billion.

 

 

 

Most disappointing Smartphone of 2008 – Blackberry Storm

It had all the right ideas that just didn’t live up to its hype.  Hopefully any and all software fixes will put this phone back on top where it rightfully belongs …. oh and add wifi too!

 

 

 

 

 

Best Thing to Happen in 2008 Hands Down, No Questions Asked! – Barack Obama

Not much I can say to describe this great happening, but many around the world witnessed history before their eyes as presidential nominee Barack Obama broke the racial barrier as the first black president in U.S. History.
