Well, this is going to be my last post until somewhere come January, because I'm going home. This is a perfect time to catch up and read all of my old posts, when I actually put more than 5 minutes into one of these. Buuuuut I thought, hey... what a better way to leave, then to get everyone in the Christmas spirit with a Top Ten Christmas Movies list? So, here ya go:


10. Frosty The Snowman
Man, isn't seeing Frosty melt pretty much the saddest scene IN ALL OF CINEMA? I'd say.

9. Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer
This is the second greatest underdog story and was pretty much the inspiration for Rocky. That's cold hard fact.

8. Die Hard
Yeah, this took place during Christmas alright. And listening to Christmas music while watching Bruce Willis single-handedly taking out a group of foreign terrorists all the while poppin' out all these witty one-liners is enough to get me in the Christmas spirit.

7. Scrooged
Bill Murray in a retelling of Charles Dickens' classic story... how can you possibly go wrong? It's Murray humor all around, yet with the same old message of appreciating life and what you have.

6. A Charlie Brown Christmas
Don't lie. You love this too. Snoops is the epitome of cool. Make sure you check out a Charlie Brown Kwanzaa too.

5. A Christmas Story
What Christmas is complete without watching the 24-hour marathon of this gem?

4. Bad Santa
Feeling blue? The holidays have you down? Pop in this sucker, which just happens to be one of the funniest movies of the past ten years, and will show you the true meaning of Christmas. Well, no... it won't... but seeing a mall Santa drunk and pissing himself is worth the two hours right there.

3. It's A Wonderful Life
You can't leave this off. Sure, I hated it when I was a kid, but this movie about a depressed man wanting to die and what others lives would have been like without him around makes for a classic Christmas flick -- not too mention one of the greatest films of it's day.

2. Home Alone
Who didn't try to set traps in their own house in order to stop burglars after watching this movie? Joe Pesci at the top of his game -- and Macaulay Culkin for that matter -- this is that feel good film about how crazy Kevin gets left behind from a Christmas vacation and has the house all to himself.

1. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
I'm sure you saw this coming. Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase never fails to make me laugh) and his family are looking to start a new Christmas tradition at their house. If you've ever watched a Vacation movie, it's obvious how it turns out -- especially when that crazy cousin Eddie shows up. Oh, Eddie, when will you ever get a job?

I've been infected, I guess. I'm not really sure what the infection is. I guess it's not like AIDS like I originally thought, but it is a VD of some sort. A web-VD, I guess. The only cure was to follow these directions that the infecter (Kara) left me:

Directions: Write 5 random facts about yourself, and then list the names of 5 people whom you in turn infect. Also, leave a post to these people letting them know they have been infected.

So here goes nothing.


1) The only reason I ever stopped liking Power Rangers was because both of my older brothers stopped liking them. I'd probably still be watching them to this day if I wasn't such a follower.


2) I was obsessed with tornadoes for probably a year after watching the movie Twister.


3) When I was in preschool, I asked a girl to marry me. She said yes. I never talked to her again.


4) Beardsley, Samuel and I used to ride our bikes to Edinboro for Pizza Hut, but after taking the back way with the legendary Kinter hill, we were never hungry when we got there and could only eat two or three pieces. Then we had to ride back.


5) My dad told me to eat my peas when I was 4 or 5 years old. I refused, but he insisted. I ate a spoonful and threw up all over the place. He never told me what to eat again, and I think this could be why I don't eat green vegetables to this day.


My facts suck.
I infect nobody -- because I used protection.

I'm sure by now you all know the eighth deadly sin -- the sin too gruesome for Hollywood movies such as Se7en. Yes, that's right. Blogging while angry.

Why is blogging while angry a bad idea, you ask? Well, for one, an angry blogger let's his (or her, but we'll call this blogger a him) emotions take complete control over his posting and writing abilities. He will often not think about what he is typing and ramble off on many tangets tossing complaints and accusations all over the place. Once calm, the angry blogger usually regrets writing what he wrote, but deleting a post is the ninth deadly sin, and thus leaves it untouched.

Say this particular blogger was angry and decided that if you are going to have a job and are going to be paid money -- possibly lots of it for the type of work you do -- DO YOUR JOB RIGHT. Yeah, I'm sure you're upset that Timmy broke up with you seven months ago, but don't half-ass your job because you're sad and tired and lazy and ugly, and screw over other people in horrible ways because of it. YOU'RE UGLY! UGLY UGLY UGLY! STUPID TOO! YOU BETTER PAY ME LOTS OF MONEY OR BE FIRED! UGLY!

When I first started this, my posts were long, drawn out and meaningful. I guess I had a lot of time on my hands. Lately, I've been pretty lazy and just posting a few words along with some picture I made up just for a quick and easy laugh. I was at around 40-50 unique visitors a day for a while there, now I've dropped to about 20. It's a shame I'm still probably going to be too lazy to make long, meaningful posts. I do have a life down here at college, you know (riiiiiiiight).

I lied though. This is my 50th post, but it's not going to be much of an extravaganza. I'm just going to be lazy and put some more pictures. Not like anyone is going to read this anyway. You're just gonna look at the pictures. I know.

Here are some more keywords as of recently:

I'm not even going to comment on this.

The other day, I also managed to come across a fan's realistic interpretation of what Mario and Yoshi would look like. It's actually kind of disturbing.




Also, if you still use Internet Explorer, stop it. It's such a piece of crap. Download Firefox now, seriously.

Okay... now goodbye.

Tomorrow comes out the well-reviewed epic love story Brokeback Mountain. The Oscar buzz is already loud (Heath Ledger for best actor? Give me a break. Did these guys even see that Knight movie?) Well, I'm sure they were breaking each other's backs and whatnot, but that's besides the point. Instead of telling you the plot, here... this picture should explain it:

It's Friday night... the mood is right. I still remember being a youngin' and coming home on on those Friday nights not to go out clubbin' or looking for a date, but to simply wait in anticipation with my brothers for TGIF to begin. Those two hours from 8 to 10 PM were a magical, special two hours and could only be rivaled by the Saturday morning cartoons we would spend countless hours in front of the next morning.



It all began with Full House. I was pretty much a mixture of Uncle Jesse and Uncle Joey to the T, yet my mother insisted I looked like Michelle. Mom, that's really embarrassing how you have to bring that up every time I invite someone over. Not cool.


And who could forget Mr. Belvedere? I was but a teenie lad when this went off air (maybe 4 or 5 years of age) but I remember the show clearly. Okay, not really, I only remember Mr. Belverdere and that he was a fat, pleasant old man.


Oh, and who can forget the crazy antics of these "perfect strangers." This is another of the original TGIF shows, but still to this day one of the best. Combine a guy who barely speaks English (Balki) with the whitest whitey in America (Larry) (white man fro and all) and that's what I call a recipe for success.


Urkel. What a genius character. He was just going to be a minor character originally, but the fans liked him, and he was eventually the central character. Those Winslow's were always up to something crazy, but they're lucky their dad was in Die Hard, so he knew how to handle any situation.


Step by step... day by day... this Brady Bunch on steroids was an inspiration to many. It taught me about cigarettes and how they are bad and also that Suzanne Somers somehow managed to look really good even though she was old enough to be my grandmother. That's weird.


From the crazy minds over at Henson studios, one of the most clever, funniest sitcoms was born in Dinosaurs. It was a mix between Family Matters and Step by Step, but with Dinosaurs as the central characters. We all know that Fran cheated on her husband with another dinosaurs, seeing as the baby was definitely a different race. "I'm the baby, you gotta love me!"


This show taught me more about life than any other (except those late night Cinemax and HBO shows... oh, you guys know what I'm talking about). It also bothered me how a weiner such as Cory Matthews got Topanga. Shawn was way cooler. He wore a leather jacket, for goodness sake.


Hangin' With Mr. Cooper was always a good time.


Then the shows started to get crappy.


TGIF was no longer my number one Friday night priority. I mean, Aliens in the Family? It didn't even last a season, yet I remember it vividly.


The shows got even worse. Some kid ate a spoiled sandwich, died, and came back as his best friend's guardian angel. Lasted a whole season.


Finally, the last show I remember before my TV never was flipped "on" on Friday night was "You Wish" another lame sitcom about a woman, her son and their genie. Lasted a whole season. My only wish? Bring the old TGIF back.
