This probably would have been a good post to write before the Super Bowl but I'm writing it now so deal.
Like I said in my post on the Super Bowl commercials, Super Bowl Sunday is a pretty unique day. It's pretty much the only sporting event I know of where people actually expect parties, food, beer and probably a day off from work the next day. Things have escalated when it comes to the Super Bowl so it's time to be prepared.
First, bring something you know everyone will like and want to eat. It's all very well and good that you like hummus, but that might not be a fan favorite. Stick to the classics: chips and dip/salsa/guacamole, veggie trays, frozen treats, shoot even a dessert. Food is a big part of the Super Bowl party experience so make it good. Don't skimp. And never show up empty handed. Ever.
Also, keep in mind things like onions and garlic as well as anything spicy as these could have dramatically negative results on the fun factor of the Super Bowl party. Bad breath when everyone is cheering four inches from each other is not a pleasant experience. And do you want to miss half the game because of indigestion or be miserable with heartburn the whole time? Neither does anyone else.
The same goes for drinks. Keep in mind that some people might not be drinking beer so bringing a six-pack of soda is always a nice gesture. If you do bring beer, bring something that everyone can enjoy. Just because you're a Guiness fan doesn't mean everyone else is.
Next is the tricky part of who to root for. If you're not particularly partial to either team, it's probably a good idea to take the safe approach and find out who everyone else likes so you can cheer for them too. If you do have very strong ties towards one team or the other, then cheer all you want but if you're a guest in someone's home I recommend keeping the trash talking to a minimum.
All of these pointers came from a very hilarious conversation my dad and I had in the middle of the frozen food section of The Nugget on Superbowl Sunday. My dad is the best. Hopefully you all had very fun and very delicious Super Bowl experiences this year. And if not, well maybe my little guide will help you for next year.

Puppy Love
My parents are getting a puppy! She is a cocker spaniel-poodle mix which is also known as a cockapoo. Her name is Lexi and she was born at the end of December but my family might change her name. Suggestions are welcomed and encouraged, but remember that she is beautiful.

Super Bowl Commercial Breakdown
The Super Bowl might come and go but the commercials live on forever. Even a few days after the big game, I'm still getting Youtube videos of faves and flops. But what did I think? Well I'm glad you asked.
The Super Bowl has become a really unique event and I think that's especially because of the whole tradition of the commercials. You never hear anyone say I can't wait to see the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball National Championship Game commercials or I bet game 7 of the World Series finals will have awesome commercials. It's something you only hear about at the Super Bowl. Ere go, the commercials are a big part of what makes a good Super Bowl experience year in and year out.
So I was a little disappointed this year, I'm not gonna lie. There was nothing that lasting about any of them, nothing that made me keep talking about them or even wanting to talk about them for days after. Nothing packed a punch, nothing that let out a good ole fashioned Amanda-style guffaw. They were just...mildly pleasant. Just...enjoyable. Just...meh.
Having said that, here are my top five favorite commercials of the night with video. They're not ranked, they're just my favorites:
Snickers with Betty White and Abe Vigoda
This was one of the first ones of the night so it must mean it was a good one if I was able to remember it through a five hour stint of chicken wings, homemade mozzarella balls, spinach dip and lemon bars. And beer. It was a great use of celebrities - who doesn't love Betty White? And Snickers did a great job of proving what their product is all about. Without a Snickers, you'll play ball like Betty White. Overall rating: 3 guffaws.
Hyundai with Brett Favre in 10 years
Brett Favre just went up a few notches in my book for making fun of himself in this one. It's current and shoot it's true. Overall rating: 3.5 guffaws
Dwight and LeBron play HORSE for McDonald's
I thought this was a good commercial as it was but when I did some research and learned that this is a New Millenium version of the iconic Bird vs. Jordan McDonald's HORSE commercial, this one immediately shot up in my mind. You have the two best dunkers in the league who aren't even 25 yet (I think), not to mention two of the best personalities in the NBA. After watching the Jordan-Bird commercial, there are so many subtleties in the new version that alludes to the old that it just makes the new one awesome. When Dwight says "No jump shots" - classic. Dwight can't exactly do this. The ONLY thing that I couldn't stand was that I think most of the dunks were computerized. I really wish that they had done more original stuff because we could have seen a mini-dunk contest of our own. Overall though? Still awesome.
Bud Light Synthesizing Guys
The synthesizer craze is long from dead so get on board. The guy brushing his teeth is my favorite. But the best part of the whole thing? T-Pain. The Synthesizer King himself. Has anyone ever even heard his real voice? But once again, where is the top hat!? Still, love me some T-Pain. Classic celeb appearance. Good work Bud Light.
Google
Simple, poetic, memorable and to the point. This one wins Best of the Night for sure. Take that Bing. Your commercials suck.
Honorable Mention:
Bud Light stranded on an island - The best part of this one was when the guy at the end changes the radio station and everyone starts dancing.
Volkswagen punch buggy - Who doesn't remember that classic game? But I thought you were only supposed to do it when a punch buggy came around? Not at the first sight of a Volkswagen.
Bud Light house
And now for the worst of the bunch. These do not get the privilege of having an embedded video:
Tim Tebow's "controversial" commercial
Ugh I just watched this again and it made me want to throw up in my mouth all over again. This was terrible. They might as well have been at Olive Garden. First of all, I thought this was supposed to mention something about his mom almost getting an abortion and so that's why it was supposed to be so ::gasp:: controversial. If I didn't know the back story to this, I'd have no idea why I was supposed to care. Then, he TACKLES HIS MOM. Then the gay pop-up. And the pose at the end. Let's just move on.
Coke sleepwalking commercial
I guess since Pepsi pulled out of the Great Commercial Race, the Coke ad execs decided to take the rest of the week off because this screamed "we mailed it in." Too long and nothing happened. I almost fell asleep watching it.
Mark Sanchez
The only reason he cares is because the more women that have heart attacks means the less women available for him to sleep with. He was really the best that CBS and the NFL could come up with? Leave it to CBS to make another terrible business decision.
All of the ones for GoDaddy
I'm not even linking out to any of these. They're stupid.
Boost Mobile Shuffle
This could have been so much better! It's the 25th anniversary of the original Super Bowl Shuffle so this could have been legit. Too bad Boost Mobile thought of it because what did we get instead? Mike Ditka saying "That's fresh" and McMahon pointing out the cheetah print thong his lineman is wearing. ::shudder::
Audi green police
This started out funny, then it dragged on and now I am terrified that a police officer is going to chase after me in a Segway everytime I don't recycle in Davis. Actually if I was in Davis, it wouldn't be a cop on a Segway so much as a barefoot hippie on a bike.
Charles Barkley Taco Bell rap
Charles Barkley can't even speak regular English. Why would Taco Bell ever think he'd be good at rapping? Lamar almost salvaged this one but they at least should have had him make a joke about candy or something.

And the Award Goes to...
So here we are readers. The other new feature of Livin' the Dream...our weekly awards! We have some winners this week so let's get to it!
The Terrible TV Idea Award
And the winner is: FOX
Accepting this award on behalf of Fox is a "source" from American Idol
The Celeb Breakup No One Cares About Award
And the winner is: Britney Spears' sister and her baby daddy
Accepting this award is Britney Spears' mom who always seems to have just the right thing to say.
That's all for this week ladies and gentlemen!
The Terrible TV Idea Award
And the winner is: FOX
Accepting this award on behalf of Fox is a "source" from American Idol
"We are so thrilled to be receiving this award! I am really glad that I was able to start this rumor about Howard Stern coming to Idol to replace Simon. FOX would like to thank Simon first and foremost for setting the bar on Idol and for making of all of rush to find the first loose canon we can to be our next "judge". Of course we have to thank Howard Stern who would be the perfect meanie to replace Simon and who has no musical talent whatsoever. And finally we'd like to thank the American Idol execs who think that the angle Idol needs is to find the first person we can who will clash with all the judges and contestants with the first sarcastic comment they can think of. We're so excited to continue doing what we can to make sure that Idol absolutely fails after Simon leaves. Thanks again!"
Accepting this award are the gossip magazine columnists who continue to insist that there is some kind of war waging between these two.
"This is truly an honor. We have worked tirelessly ever since Angelina and Brad first got together scrutinizing every tiny detail we could to make it seem like Angelina and Jen Aniston just can't stand each other so this just means so much to us. It hasn't been easy. I mean we have had to twist every tiny fact that we can find to make it seem like Angelina is always going to beat Jen Aniston. We'd like to thank Vanity Fair for compiling this "Hollywood's Top 40" list which showed nothing more than the fact that Angelina made only $1 million more than Jennifer Aniston and thereby allowing us to twist that into an entire article where we can prove yet again that Jennifer Aniston's life is oh so sad without Brad Pitt in it. We'd also like to thank Jennifer Aniston herself for making a paltry $20 million last year and of course Angelina Jolie for raking in $21 million. Without them we never would have been able to spin this story to launch yet another fake battle between these two!"

Without them we never would have been able to spin this story to launch yet another fake battle between these two!"
Accepting this award is Lauren herself who continues to try and "explain" how terrible life on The Hills really was.
"Wow. This is just so unexpected. I'd of course like to thank MTV for giving me my start even though all I've done since joining the show is complain about how it's ruined my life. I'd like to thank all of my castmates on The Hills, especially Heidi for moving the spotlight onto themselves since I left the show so that people hardly ever talk about me anymore. But most of all I'd like to thank myself for continuing to go on and on about how terrible it was for me to be a part of a show that put me on the map of "fame". Without me, I never would have been able to talk about how terrible it was to get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars and gain the ability to launch a clothing line and write a best-selling book that is about to be turned into a movie just by letting some cameras follow me around."

And the winner is: Britney Spears' sister and her baby daddy
Accepting this award is Britney Spears' mom who always seems to have just the right thing to say.
"Oh my gosh y'all. I can't believe my little girl won this award. We have done so much to keep both her and Britney in the news but si
nce Britney's kinda normal again and isn't making as many headlines, it was time to do something ya know? So I'm really glad that my little girl could put our family back in the spotlight for another week or two. We hit the jackpot when she had her baby at 16 but nobody's really talked about her since then you know so we thought what better way than to have her breakup with her baby's daddy and also start going out with another guy, who is about 10 years older than her might I add. Anyway we're just so glad that our family made the gossip columns again so thanks y'all!"
And the winner is: former "Dancing with the Stars" giant Warren Sapp
Warren Sapp was unfortunately detained - literally - tonight and cannot be here to accept his award.

Whatever Happened to...
Snow?
Welcome to the first installment of "Whatever Happened To...", the newest feature on LTD that answers your burning questions about the whereabouts of your favorite celebs from the past.
Today we are chronicling Snow, and I don't mean the weather.
For those of you who can't quite place the name, Snow is probably best known for his diddy "Informer". Observe:
So now that you are familiar with his work, let's take a look at what could possibly have happened to this obviously super-talented individual.
First of all, Snow's real name is Darren O'Brien and he's Canadian. Snow apparently also stands for "Super Notorious Outrageous Whiteboy" and was given to him by Marvin Prince, the Jamaican born DJ that discovered him. "Informer" was the #1 song for seven straight weeks and is in the Guiness Book of World Records as the best selling reggae single in U.S. history.
But wait there's more. According to Snow's official MySpace page (which was last updated Jan. 29) he discovered his love of music in prison and was just recently allowed back into the United States where, great news everybody, he is back in the recording studio.
So since "Informer", Snow continues to make music and is a big hit in Canada where in 2000 and 2002 he had two songs race to the top of the charts.
And he released a single in 2009 called "Adore You". Enjoy:
Hope you all liked the first installment of "Whatever Happened To..." Again, suggestions, comments and concerns are always welcomed and encouraged. Except for the concerns.

Video of the Day 2/2/10 - Groundhog Day Edition
This video has nothing to do with Groundhog Day but everyone's making such a big fricken deal out of the groundhog that I thought I'd join in all the fun.
Shoutout to Ashley for today's contribution. Even though embedding the video isn't possible, I won't hold that against her because this video is amazing. One of the best we've had in a while.
Enjoy!

The Blog is Pink!
Surprise! The blog has a new look. I guess because there's been one day of sunshine in the last month in Sacramento/Davis I figured if I had a pink blog to look at every day then maybe it would cheer me up. Also, I like pink.
I've decided to add a couple of new features to the blog. Considering how well my other features have gone (when's the last time I did a "Why is This News?" or "Triple R") I expect these to go just as well. Here they are:
On the sidebar, you might have noticed that I've decided to let you guys know what I'm reading and what Netflix brought me this week. As we discussed in my review of "The Boleyn Inheritance" I am a bit of a book nerd and in 2010 I'm going to start embracing that a lot more. I think ultimately I'm trying to cut back on TV so I can't think of a better way to do so than to substitute a book for TV. Unless it's substituting a beer for TV. A book and a beer? Now we're talkin. I'm not one of those that reads multiple books at a time so odds are I'll only have one, maybe two links at the most going in that column.
I joined Netflix and I'm loving it. The only problem I'm having is that I have issues getting to a mailbox to return the movies but we're working on that. So I also decided to share with you guys the movies I currently have out on Netflix. My account lets me check out two at a time and suggestions are always welcome. I am seriously adding any movie that remotely interests me when I cruise around on Netflix's website. This includes TV shows, stand-up comedy specials, possibly some documentaries if it's really interesting. I'm not holding back people. And again, suggestions are always welcome and encouraged.
Now on to the two newest writing features of the blog:
First we will have a weekly award section for the best stories in celeb gossip news during the week. Examples include the Why Are You Famous Award (which might end up being called the Just Go Away Award), the Why Is This News Award, and the I Really Don't Care About Celebrity Babies Award. There will also be good awards given out for things like philanthropy and good fashion. Maybe a Quote of the Week Award. This will start Friday so I guess I'd better narrow down how many awards I'll give out and their names. Suggestions for award names are welcome and encouraged.
Second we are going to start a segment called "Whatever Happened To..." Not much to this one really. When I'm driving around listening to satellite radio, every once in a while an artist comes on that really makes me think "Wow, whatever happened to Ace of Base? They were LEGIT when I was in the second grade." So me and my friend Wikipedia will take a few minutes to check in on some of these has-beens and give all of you adoring fans an update.
Now it's time to get real for a moment. A lot of these changes/additions/upgrades are due to the fact that I'm trying some new things out in my life, mainly shifting a lot of focus back onto myself and what I want from my life. I'm trying to take a more me-centric attitude and I'm starting with my blog. I want a pink blog so bam, my blog is pink. I want to post what I'm reading so bam, links. It may sound silly but you have no idea how hard it is to put myself first. So again, it may sound like a silly small step, but it's steps like these that will end up helping me take control and boost my self-confidence a bit.
That being said, I want to thank everyone out there who continues to read Livin' the Dream. I get about 30 hits every time I post something new and that means the world to me. I'm glad I have this forum to entertain and to continue to do what I love which is write. I don't always have the most thought-provoking and profound things to say but I have a great time, I get a little chuckle out of it all, and hopefully you do too.
