An oil rig 80 miles off the coast of Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico is still burning after an explosion around 9 a.m. this morning, according to the Coast Guard. There were thirteen people aboard the rig, which is owned by Mariner Energy, and all but one are now accounted for. Helicopters and planes are currently en route to aid survivors.

here's an excerpt from this funny onion piece starla sent me:
NEW YORK—At 4:32 p.m. Tuesday, every single resident of New York City decided to evacuate the famed metropolis, having realizing it was nothing more than a massive, trash-ridden hellhole that slowly sucks the life out of every one of its inhabitants.
With audible murmurs of "This is no way to live," "What the hell am I doing here—I hate it here," and "Fuck this place. Fuck this horrible place," all 8.4 million citizens in each of the five boroughs packed up their belongings and told reporters they would rather blow their brains out with a shotgun than spend another waking moment in this festering cesspool of filth and scum and sadness.
By 5:15 p.m. there was gridlock traffic on the outbound sides of the Holland and Lincoln tunnels, and the area's three major airports were flooded with New Yorkers, all of whom said they wanted to go anyplace where the pressure of 20 million tons of concrete wasn't constantly suffocating them. (via)you're gonna want to read the whole thing. it's pretty much dead-on.
T.I. got paris hilton'd.
get that new album out before you have to go back to jail, ok?
football season starts today!
and i want to wish lane kiffin, usc, and the ohio state suckeyes BAD luck. ;(
and go vols!
i really hope this works!
previous negotiations between these two nations have failed every other time they've been attempted. so don't get your hopes up too high. but i think if anyone can pull it off, it's barack motherfucking obama.
i'll be crossin' mah fingers!
well, well, well.
you may remember a similar situation at last year's open, involving black woman serena williams. she went bonkers after being issued a foot fault penalty (except hers was on match point in the semifinals). she was fined $82,500 and put on a two-year probation. roddick was not issued any penalty, and the lineswoman was replaced, rendering this shit sexist / racist.
goooooo john isner!

3. tailgating
2. neyland stadium!!
ever been in a room with 108,000 people, most of them dressed in volunteer orange? i have. and it's just flat out exhilirating. there's no two ways about it. there's only one place in the world where such a dreamscape is possible, and that's neyland stadium.
situated on the banks of the mighty tennessee river, she serves as a beacon of hope and light for all passing vessels. the stadium was first built in 1921, and consisted only of what is now the lower level of the west stands.
"In 1962, the stadium was renamed Neyland Stadium in honor of former athletic director and coach General Robert Neyland. Neyland, the man credited with making the Vols a national football power, coached the team from 1926–1952, with two interruptions for military service."
this year, construction is wrapping up on the latest of many expansions. unfortunately, they've gone and uglied up a lot of it. one exception is the beautiful new locker rooms (click that, trust me). 11 biscuits!! thankfully, only a small portion of the magic possessed by this place lies in its architecture.
upon entering this glorious cathedral, one's very essence is set ablaze by the fire of tennessee pride. remember that volunteer pride-opus i told you about? well, he lives here. and he loves you. as you step through the vomitory (thx bun-bun) and into the stadium, your eyes darting this way and that, taking in the faces of the thousands of comrades that surround you before finally settling on the breathtaking checkerboard endzones, you can literally feel his eight arms holding you tightly.
there are a few things that must be experienced in person, in this venue, in order to say that you've even lived a drop of life:
the power-t marching up the field
smokey leading the team through "the T" (drunken hollerin' included. here we go! WOO!)
a post-touchdown round of rocky top (that's joel singing)
...just to name a few. i guess what i'm trying to say is that neyland stadium is basically the mecca of college football. as in you'll go to hell if you don't visit it before you die. i don't make the rules...
just sayin'. go there. this weekend if possible! you'll love it!
