Ermmmm....

Hi. It's, uh. It's been a while! How have you been? Good? Good. Me? Oh, I haven't really been doing anything, just working. No, no, I don't have a real job. So... yeah! It's so great to see you! We'll have to catch up sometime! Heh.

I'm not sure if you remember me writing about a movie called Be Kind, Rewind a few months ago, but it's coming out next month. If you don't remember the plot, it was about a guy (Jack Black) who's brain erases the entire video library at a rental store. The store's most loyal customer is an elderly woman, who inspires Black and Mister Mos Def himself to recreate movies that she wants to watch. Basically, it's an excuse for the two of them to remake ridiculous movies like Robocop and The Lion King. Should be awesome.

I know that I'm kind of on my own in movie-fanatic world, and that most of you probably don't have Netflix or Blockbuster Online, but I always find it interesting the movies that people put into their queue. Right now, I've got Half Nelson and Kinky Boots coming in the mail, followed by Hard Candy, The Lookout, Lost In Translation (haven't seen it in a while), The Simpsons Movie, La Vie en Rose, This is England, and a few other random ones that haven't been released (Rocket Science, eeeee!). Matt recommended Once to me, I just apparently have forgotten to add it until now.

Have you ever read the "Best of" section of Craigslist? People nominate the especially ridiculous posts they come across, and then Craigslist compiles them all into one place. They're hilarious to go through, like this one, from Denver:

Free BLOW!!
Here's the thing, I'm trying to clean up my life, but I've got to get rid of all the drugs from my past. So last night, as I was trying to empty all my stuff into the garbage, my wife came out and started trying to rip it out of my hands. Needless to say, and argument ensued, and soon the neighbors were in on it too. We all stood there, arguing over what to do with the dope I wanted to throw out, when suddenly, my neighbor tried to rip in out of my hands. Now, I've got a serious problem. The bag ripped and the white powder went EVERYWHERE. I mean, it's all over the lawn, the driveway, up and down the street. There's just a bunch of dope out there lying on the street. I'm terrified that the cops will come at any minute. I mean, this stuff is thick, we're talking several inches just covering everything on the whole street.

Matt actually sent me a post from Denver once that was about someone giving away an entire bag of discarded Hammer pants. Oh, how much more amazing my life would be. Oh, and one post on "Best of" was addressed to "Cockless Fuckmuppet". Bahahah.

I came across a blog today that was entitled "My Blog is Poop". There's something so awesome in being entertained by stuff like that. Speaking of being ridculously immature (and trying not to be a bigot, I swear), I will never, ever be able to keep a straight face when I see this word:


Heh.

This video is cool -- the flight of a paper airplane from a building in New York City.



I don't think I actually posted on the whole In Rainbows Radiohead release, just because there was such a fucking hooplah about it that I didn't want to make myself sick talking about it. If you don't know what I'm talking about, Radiohead decided that its fans could pay whatever amount they wanted to get their new album, In Rainbows -- one cent, $200.00, whatever. It caused a flurry of talk about the "future of record sales", but I know for damn sure that Radiohead is probably one of the only bands that can pull that kind of thing off. I don't see anyone paying $200.00 for a Daughtry album. Then again, who knows. Those American Idol fans are like a pack of wolves. Anyways, I wanted an excuse to post this video of Thom Yorke (the man with entirely too many letters in his name), because the dude is crazy. Crazy genius, maybe, but a wonky-eyed one at that.


"That's betta than havin' two legs!"

I've been playing the shit out of the Cool Kids -- a couple of rappers out of Chicago that are making a moderate buzz right now. They've got a really stripped down 80's style, reminiscent of Run DMC. Check out this song, it is tiiiiight.




I could write something about the Iowa caucus, but I just don't have it in me. Instead, I'll just point out that "caucus" sounds dirty and then copy/paste something from an article.

Predictions, however, are difficult. The polls are all over the place. Among Democrats, a Des Moines Register poll showed Illinois Sen. Barack Obama leading New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton 32% to 25%, but a CNN poll found Clinton leading Obama 33% to 31%.Among Republicans, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney was leading former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee in the CNN poll, 31% to 28%, but the Register poll showed Huckabee leading Romney 32% to 26%.

If you haven't, at my insistence, started watching episodes of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia", then you eff off. You eff off right now. It is so, so, so hilarious -- if number 1a. in my book is "Arrested Development", then "Sunny" would definitely be 1b. It's that good. Just watch this scene. Maybe my Facebook status will make more sense.

Alright, I can tell my computer is about to crash, so I'll leave it at that. Until next time!
