Celebrity Look-a-Like

2009-12-22T07:47:07Z

I ran some pictures through a celebrity look-a-like program, and here are the results for this photo: Results below; bold is the one that was declared the best match by the program used. Others are just other matches that I found funny. Nathan (bottom left)=Angelina Jolie, Billy Idol Isaac (top left)=Leslie Caron, Shirley Temple Me (bottom middle)=Kate Beckinsale, Quentin Tarantino, Billie Piper, Alyson Hannigan Derek (top middle)=Matthew Lillard Noah (top right)=Matt Stone Karl (bottom right)=Billie Piper, Harry Houdini I chose the names for the ones I found funny because of the fact that they were some of the few I knew, and/or I LOVED THEM! For those who are interested, full lists can be seen by clicking the link to read on. This got me thinking; what do they use to compare?. After a couple of tests I figured it out. They scan the picture for places that look like they have two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. If you've got eyes, nose, lips, cheek bones, blah blah blah, in the same place as this photo they have, then BAM! You're a shoe-in! So, it's about the positioning of the face and camera. Huh.]]> Nathan Angelina Jolie (80%) Kim Novak (76%) Krista Allen (76%) Carole Lombard (75%) Billy Idol (72%) Shlomo Artzi (71%) Amisha Patel (68%) Katherine Hepburn (68%) Rose McGowan (67%) Keanu Reeves (67%) Isaac Leslie Caron (63%) Fernanda Tavares (63%) Queen Latifah (60%) Kylie Bax (59%) Carrie-Anne Moss (59%) Stacy Keibler (58%) Sharon Stone (57%) Shirley Temple (56%) Simon (me) Kate Beckinsale (73%) Quentin Tarantino (68%) Nicky Hilton (66%) Billie Piper (64%) Jack Dempsey (63%) Vanessa Marcil (63%) Brian Littrell (61%) Alyson Hannigan (59%) Katie Holmes (59%) Howie Day (59%) Derek Matthew Lillard (59%) Janeane Garofalo (59%) Gwyneth Paltrow (51%) Jesse L. Martin (47%) Kim Rae Won (47%) Cristiano Ronaldo (46%) Noah Matt Stone (66%) Salma Hayek (64%) Penelope Cruz (64%) Estella Warren (60%) Lucille Ball (59%) Allan Kardec (58%) Frida Kahlo (57%) Jennifer Love Hewitt (56%) Aidan Quinn (56%) Romy Schneider (56%) Karl Billie Piper (75%) Gemma Ward (72%) Kim Hee-sun (70%) Harry Houdini (66%) Krista Allen (64%) Alicia Keys (63%) Carole Lombard (63%) Coco Chanel (63%) Ali Landry (62%) Liya Kebede (62%) It strikes me interesting that Karl's top match was my fourth. I'd also like to note that Derek started at 59%, where I ended. Some people just have those faces and some don't, I guess. Thus ends my study.

'Go to Jail'? I mean... 'Go to Have a Million Dollars'

2008-08-01T03:35:36Z

I was playing monopoly with my mom. I was losing horribly she had a big honkin' section of the board. I had one monopoly : D... anyways. So. Conveniently, there was a notepad and a pen next to me. I decided it would be funny if I did so; I took a couple strips of paper, put 'Won Lotto! Have a Million Dollars!' on each of them, and put them face down on top of the chance and community chest decks. Also, I made a million dollar billl with little lopsided trains too. Turned out I like, NEVER LANDED ON CHANCE and kept having to mortgage more and more of my property. finally I had this long run ahead of me with 15$ and no real estate. If I got an 11, I got a chance card (aka I win) and if I got a 5, I got a go to jail. quickly, I whipped out my notepad and wrote a thing that said "Have a Million Dollars" originally it was a speech bubble, but my mom changed it to "Go to Have a Million Dollars"... I had so much fun tonight. She mentioned later how in normal monopoly, they wouldn't let you put new pieces in the game halfway through, and if you did that in poker, they'd run you off. Yeah... well, this isn't any other game, is it? (Pictures to be Added)

I am in a play... Stuart Little. So is my sister. If you don't know what Stuart Little is, screw you. It's about a mouse.... in the 1940s... born to a family of humans... with a bird for a girlfriend... and most of all, Stuart has adventures... I play LEEEROY JEEEENKIIIIIIIIIIIIIINS!!! Well, his last name isn't Jenkins, but I like to pretend it is. See YouTube for info on that. Anyways, Leroy is a bully... and the captain of the Lillian B. Womrath (his miniature ship) I have one scene... scene 5, boat race. But, it's a fun part to play, and everybody says I have a great voice, and I rule at my entrance line. It's at the Duluth Playhouse, and opening night is this friday... closing performance is Mother's Day. If you can, come see it. Awesome set, awesome cast, great directors, and PUPPETS! (Stuart, Margalo (bird) and Harriet Ames (tiny person)) It's GREAT!!!

The Crown Prince of Geekdom

2008-04-15T03:03:17Z

Well, not really. My dad is the king of the geeks, OFFICIALLY... yes, he was crowned last Saturday, at geek prom...I wasn't there, but my dad told me about it. The king of the geeks before him said: "You do know your son is going to inherit your crown one day, don't you?" He said "You've met my son?" "No, but from what I've read on his blog and your blog, he's geekier than the both of us put together." ...it's given me a sense of pride. Well, later, my mom said I was never going to become the king of the geeks without keeping my blog regularly updated, so... here I am. Also, at geek prom, when I'm old enough to go, and if it still exists... I intend to win the spaz dance competition.

This is my Album Cover meme! Make your own... 1. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random The first article title on the page is the name of your band. 2. www.quotationspage.com/random.php3 The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album. (You may have to refresh the page to get a fresh set of quotes.) 3. www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/ The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

A Semi-Funny True Story

2008-01-02T00:29:59Z

So today I had arranged to meet with my friend Dane and go sledding. We were all set. We were going to his dad's place, and then we were going to go sledding. Later Dane and I changed this plan a bit because of the weather. We were going to his dad's house then deciding wether or not we should go sledding... or so I thought. We drove to his dad's place, and then went inside. "Hello!" My sister Emma shouted. No answer. "Anyone home?" I shouted. Still nothing. We searched the house. Nada. Eh. Probably some joke, I thought. Meanwhile, as we later found out, they were hammering on our locked door, ringing the doorbell, and jiggling the doorknob furiously. We decided to call this person, Heidi, that knew them and lived at their place. She knew nothing about it 'cause she was at work or something. We went to the preferred sledding hill. Then Heidi called and said they were back and then, before we could say we should go to their place, they were on their way to the sledding hill. It all turned out O.K. and we had a good time playing World of Warcraft. I got a couple good screenshots too, and I'll put them up as soon as I can. THE END

Comic Life

2007-10-01T01:10:28Z

So, I got this new software on my computer called Comic Life (I saw a friend using it and thought it was cool)... I immediately made a comic to put on my blog... and I'll probably make more.

My favorite music video for my favorite song.

2007-07-09T21:05:32Z

Amazing. He made all this frame by frame in Flash. I love it! It's the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine) is my favorite song ever! So I love this 10 times more than people who think it's ok. I think this video ROCKS! But feel free to leave your own opinion.

Wow. WoW!

2007-07-09T06:04:50Z

This is so incredibly amazing. It so looks like these World of Warcraft charactars are singing Safety Dance. As my dad said, "These people clearly have too much time on their hands. Cheers to that!" He said that about another video, but I think this one diserves it too. So enjoy some WoW charactars in Safety Dance!

Gauntlet....... Gauntlet: Seven sorrows.

2007-03-09T21:57:13Z

Alright. For christmas, I got this PS2 game called Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows. It's an awesome fantasy game, full of action packed adventure! Recently, I discovered It's a VERY,VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY improved version of the old arcade game, Gauntlet. The top video is the cinematics for Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows, and the bottom video is a 22 minutes long run through of Gauntlet...... See the difference?
