At the end of every year, a guy named DJ Earworm takes the year's most popular songs and mashes them up. I'm not sure what I think of this - it's almost exhausting to listen to because my brain is so busy trying to pick every song out! Here's this year's mash-up, called "United States of Pop 2011: World Go Boom."

Jeff, Jenn, and I went Christmas caroling yesterday and here's a video of our escapades!!! Fritsch

This video is hilarious!!! Check out Jimmy Kimmel's gift challenge to parents to give children bad presents.

Fill The Truck 2011 is a campaign to help eleven local charity organizations serving people in need. It all started when Dan Regenold, CEO of Frame USA, set out to fill a truck just before Christmas last year to help The Healing Center at the Vineyard Community Church in Springdale serve people struggling in the weak economy. His 2010 campaign generated so many donations that the truck overflowed with donated blankets, sheets, coats, boots, gloves, baby formula, canned food, dishes, detergent, and many other clothing and personal hygiene items. Fill the Truck 2011 features ten sponsors with eleven trucks placed around Greater Cincinnati from Northern Kentucky to Centerville, serving eleven organizations. For a complete list of sponsors, locations, beneficiary organizations, and info about how to help, please visit www.FillTheTruck.org

Hi Jeff and Jenn,

My name is Rohan Hemani and I am a student at the University of Cincinnati. I am also the captain of Cincinnati's ONLY nationally competitive bollywood fusion dance team - UC Dhadak (Dhadak is the hindi word for "heartbeat"). You can see our fan page at http://www.facebook.com/UCIDT?ref=ts

I am writing to you today for a small request. We have just been accepted to one of the biggest bollywood fusion competitions in the U.S. - Muqabla NNR: Remix (http://www.mqbnnr.com/) and we are currently in a Facebook voting contest to win a free hotel room for the weekend of the competition! Voting ends December 13th and we are trying to do everything we can to rally the Cincinnati community behind us! You see, this is our third year in existence (which is young in the fusion circuit) and first year competing in a big competition so there are a lot of disbelievers out there in the U.S.

UC Dhadak is reaching out to as many people we can to help us win this voting competition and show the National bollywood fusion circuit that we are NO city to overlook!

Anyways, here are the instructions for "Liking" the comment with our team name:

1) Click on this link to the competition fan page: http://www.facebook.com/MQBNNR/posts/307295865961389

2) Click "View previous comments" three or four times to get back to the first comment.

3) "Like" the 7th comment down that says "UC Dhadak International Dance Team". (I've attached the image of what comment to "Like" because we have had a lot of people like the wrong comments)

We are currently at around 550 votes and the winning team (from Ohio State) is at 1100 votes! Voting ends Dec 13th at midnight so we have 12 days to catch up and need the help and support of the Cincinnati community! Least to say we would NOT like to lose to our fellow rivals!

Anyways, I appreciate the consideration and would love to see if there is any way you can help out our cause?

Thanks so much,
Rohan

Check out this video of Justin and Mariah singing "All I Want for Christmas." It's kind of a bootleg copy but still good. :-)
