Zach Bussey is No Longer Unique!

uca_profile_pic

The reverse Rapture happened! Instead of people disappearing there’s now new ones… and this one has my name!

Today I was alerted to the fact that I’m not the only “Zach Bussey” in the world nor on Twitter. Now granted this other Zach Bussey is no where near as interesting as me with tweets like;

Who the hell gets that excited about a pizza?! I hate Zach Bussey, I mean me… or him. GAGHRHGAGARGFFGRRRRR!

The above is his second tweet ever. Who exactly should be eating the shit? The exams? The profs maybe? He should #eatshit!

You know, people deal with this all the time I’m sure. A lot of people have common names that  they share with other people… but let’s analyze my name for a second? Zach… first off  it’s with an H. If anything a Zack Bussey would be fine with me! But with an H?! Ugh. Then ignoring that, BUSSEY. No one has this name. There’s like 60 of them in the World!

See I’m concerned that when I’m rich and famous this guy is going to be bottom feeding on my good name! What are the rules on promoting namicide?

The ultimate name stealer experience is Howard Stern… remember all the controversy with Howard K. Stern and how he was accused of killing Anna Nicole Smith?  I don’t have time to deal with you killing Anna Nicole Smith Zach Bussey (1). So don’t do it!

Though, I bet this guy can’t fly in the States… pretty sure some of my tweets have put me on the No Fly List. Haha. Sorry dude. You’re on your own with that one. Change your name!

I can hope he drives right into the Ocean right?

Ever have any problems with someone who had the same name as you? If so, what happened and how do you deal with it?

Ring in the Rapture with End of the World Movies

Rapture

Tomorrow is the Rapture according to like 3 people and everyone’s just kinda gone along with it. I can’t wait for 2012 when that’s what the entire year will be. (By the way folks, there’s such a thing as a self fulfilling prophecy).

But I figured what better opportunity to watch some end of the world movies to get you right into the spirit! Oh, and quick funny story… when I was searching for images for this post, I found a lot of similar images to the “Rapture” as shown above… doesn’t it look suspiciously like the image from Skyline? Maybe Jesus is an alien wanting to drink our blood? Haha. Had to add SOME controversy to this right?

These are the 10 movies I’m contemplating watching this weekend!

 


28 Days Later, does it get more ‘real’ than seeing the streets of London completely empty? Waking up to a silent world has to be the closest thing to a post-raptured world if we didn’t have Twitter to inform us of what’s going on.


The Core, Birds start going nuts, major storms… all because the Earths core stops it’s rotation. Birds dropping from the skies, magnetic pole shift, major storms? Where have we heard this before….


Miracle Mile, You pickup an accidental phone call, who’s caller tells you there’s 70 minutes until nuclear missiles hit… you know before everyone else… But not for long. How will you react tomorrow at 6PM if the Rapture happens?


2012, When everything that could go wrong does… The Rapture and the buzz around it will pale in comparison to what the buzz will be for all of next year!


I Am Legend, Ugh, if Jesus Raptures everyone tomorrow except for me… I’m going to be slightly pissed. But slightly happier that I don’t need to deal with rabid zombie humans.


Knowing, Should we consider ourselves in the know? The Rapture is a religious event and all, so I kinda consider this one of the better religious ‘event’ movies. Is there a better ending?


Ever Since the World Ended, Documentary style and the first movie post apocalypse. An interesting take… though, I imagine the first movie post Rapture will be pretty good… I think it’s The Hangover Part 2.


The Day After, there is no Tomorrow in this one. Well, there kinda is actually… how would we survive a nuclear strike? Pre-Twitter? Not great. With Twitter? Probably worse heh.


Escape From LA, If the Rapture happens tomorrow, I’m planning on taking on Snake Plissken’s attitude. So world watch out, because Zach Bussey will not be taking any shit lol.


The Road, It doesn’t get much more grim and realistic than this… with a lot of the disaster footage taken from the Aftermath of Katrina. The book is better (I may have shed a tear), but this is pretty real. A world I don’t want to live in.

The Top 150 Toronto Twitter Influencers

TorontoSkyline

THE LIST HAS BEEN UPDATED – I have people ask me all the time (literally daily) who has “Klout” in Toronto. I usually first let them know Klout is not *THE* indicator of influence. Then after they ask again, “Who are Toronto’s Top People on Twitter?” “Who has good Klout?” I say I don’t know.

But considering so many people want it… I’ll take the time to do it because that’s a small token of how much I care about you people. I’m trying to be impartial and include everyone, even if I dislike them… Lol.

So I have scoured Toronto’s Twitterers to create a list of the top 150 people according to Klout! The list consists of people only. No brands, no companies and no celebrities. Once we hit 150, and you have a higher score than one of these people, the bottom person will get knocked off (after a double check on their score).

Disagree with the list? Take it up with Klout I guess lol. **The list is now closed to updates until next month! The only way I’ll add new people to it is if someone personally requests to be removed. So this is the FINAL Top 150 in Toronto for this month!**

4SqDayYYZ1

Just before you get excited about a new poll being posted today, there won’t be a new one today as we’re waiting for the opening round polls to all close. There is one poll still open for voting, Day 8 of Canada’s Sexiest Election Candidate featuring such attractive people as Michael Ignatieff, Cora Carriveau and Max Khan.

Tomorrow, with all the winners from round one officially confirmed, we’ll post up some matches from round two! To get an idea of how these matchups will look here’s the updated Bracket!

Click the image to view full size.

One more thing, I’m a finalist to win a phone from @VirginMobileCAN and I’d really like to win it! To do that, I had to create a Foursquare-esque badge to represent Foursquare Day Toronto. Well my entry is below, now all I need is for people to tweet with the hashtag #4SQDayYYZ1. Doesn’t really matter what you tweet haha, just including the hashtag will earn me a vote!

Thank you ahead of time for all who take a sec to do said vote! I’ll owe you one!
