Britney Spears - ”If U Seek Amy”

This is a video that holds two truths. First, you will not understand the lyrics, unless maybe you do some serious digging. Second, it is classic Britney, so if you like her, than you will undoubtedly like this one. Britney, of course, plays several roles in the video, poses in some sexy poses, and dons some exciting wardrobe anomalies, so make sure to check it out.

Eminem - “We made You”

In classic Eminem fashion, this video pretty much disses everyone on some level or another. But as brash and contemptuous as Eminem seems, you cannot deny that the song is well worked. And although the video is comical in nature, it is well done. Of course there are some goofy moments, but come on… it’s Eminem.

Ciara featuring Justin Timberlake - “Love Sex Magic”

This video takes you through a dreamlike weave of bright lights and scenes from some kind of romantic story. And of course, there are small scenes woven throughout that feature Ciara dancing in a black and white outfit. While this video doesn’t really do anything new, it is still fun because it is kind of catchy and never-before seen. And what it lacks for a storyline, it makes up for with a killer beat!

So make sure to check all of these videos out, as you will not want to miss them! 2009 is rocking so far, so lets hope that Nashville keeps it coming, right?

One thing about this video that you don’t normally get to see is Britney sporting a top hat. This is cool, as are her various other outfits. One in particular is very sexy, and is featured in several segments. Her hair is done up in a very old fashioned way, like all curled, as if it is from the fifties. She is wearing a sparkling dress that is just see-through enough to reveal black underclothing (of course, what else would you expect?).

Overall, the video is cool, especially if you are a Britney fan. There is no doubt… she is getting sexier and sexier as she goes… and Britney’s die-hard fans will love this video simply for the novelty of it. Is it her best? Probably not. But hey, Britney has done a lot of videos… outdoing her best is a hard task for any performer, let alone herself.

But if you are looking to see Britney in a different environment, sporting some clothes that she has never worn before, and dancing around guys who are breathing fire with elephants doing tricks, than this is the vid for you. Well done Britney, you continue to enthrall us… one thing can be said about Britney… and that is that she definitely holds our attention.

Learn a few tips on what makes a good Foosball table before shopping, and you’ll maximize the fun you have playing Foosball.

Foosball Table

Perhaps the most important question to ask of yourself (and your roommates if you have them) is exactly who will be playing Foosball? Do they have any strong preferences? Are they casual players who like to have fun playing Foosball while unwinding with a beer? Or are they serious competitors? Ask yourself the same questions. The needs and wants of those who will be using the Foosball table most are vital to making a good choice when it’s time to buy.

You also need to assess the need for safety. If children will be using the Foosball table a lot, safety should be an overriding consideration. Some tables have the usual solid rods that go through both sides of the tables, and some use telescopic rods.  Telescopic rods are generally considered safer because they only go through one side wall of the table, rather than both sides, like the traditional rods do.

How the play of the game feels is very important, too. If the rods are hard to turn, or too heavy, then players’ arms can get tired, and eventually you’ll probably stop playing altogether. Maneuverability is governed by a number of factors, such as: the gap between the “feet” of the figures and the table; the shape of the feet; heaviness of the rods; the markers on the play field; the “grippiness” of the handles; overlap of coverage by the playing figures; the composition of the ball; and the field surface.

The ease of use of the Foosball table is also vital. If it’s a pain to use, then nobody will want to play. The user-friendliness of a Foosball table has to do with factors such as whether the figures’ weights are balanced, and whether they are easy enough to move horizontally. Sturdiness and durability of all the parts are also important. If you’re always worried you’re going to break part of the table, then it’s not going to be much fun to play.

Of course, budget is an issue for almost everyone. You want the best value for your money. There’s really no way to beat shopping around, whether it is in person or over the Internet. Brands are not as important as quality and suitability. The brand that works at your brother-in-law’s apartment may not work where you live.

If you think you might be selling your Foosball table after a couple of years’ worth of enjoyment, then you should choose a model that retains its resale value well. One way to assess this is to search auction websites and see which brands and models do well in the resale market.

And finally, but no less importantly, aesthetics should be at least somewhat important, particularly in a shared housing situation. Make sure that the people you live with are going to be able to stand to look at a Foosball table of the size and look that you plan to buy. Compromise may be necessary, so be prepared.

“To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”
