A Decade In Review
Politics- There was some good shit.  There was mostly bad shit.  Just like the 90’s. Music-  There was some good shit.  There was mostly bad shit.  Just like the 90’s. Movies- There was some good shit.  There was some bad shit.  Just like the 90’s. Sports- There was some good shit.  There was some bad shit.  Just like the 90’s. Everything else- There was some good shit....

Nice one Jim.
Unobtainium? Seriously? It’s too bad ubiquitum isn’t valuable, because that shit’s everywhere.

“I’ve never jumped out of a perfectly good airplane before.”
– You hear this line, or a line like it quite often in movies.  The implication seems to be that while they have never leapt from a functioning aircraft, jumping from one that is in a state of disrepair is a regular part of their lives.

Awesome effects. Lame story. Dope 3D glasses. At the last minute I decided to hit a midnight showing of Avatar.  The hype machine is going full throttle on this film, but I don’t think it is quite hitting on all cylinders.  I knew it was due for release, but had no idea what it was about.  My assumption was something about video games.  As for it being the most expensive movie ever...

The Wrestler, On Weed
I was trippin’ on some space weed last night and watched The Wrestler.  Something of a live blog I guess. what’s up with mickey rourke?  i sit here watching the wrestler and think back to rourke when he was the shit.  johnny handsome was a great movie.  nine and a half weeks, wild orchid—mick was good looking and tough and talented.  It all went to shit,...

At The Gay Bar →
The gay bar  isn’t a place I seek out, but if the decision is made to go to one I have no problem doing so.  Some hear this and—in an almost shockingly homophobic tone—will ask”Why do you want to go to the fag bar?”, as though the passing through the door jam of a bar frequented by homosexuals will magically transform me into one.  Though I shouldn’t have to...

I started reading a used book today.  On the inside cover was a particularly personal inscription to the original owner.  It felt cheap and intrusive, like I was spying on an intimate conversation.  But I guess it didn’t mean so much to the first guy to read it.

Unit of Value
Would you rather have a giant penis or a million dollars? I am moving into the million dollars phase of life the closer I get to 40. I’ve always been of the opinion that 95% of my problems in life, the problems that torment me at night, that have me acting out on weekends, pulling no-shows at work, and seeking therapy: 95% on these problems would be solved if I had a big huge cock. And yet, the...

Pink Ugg bots on a 50 year old woman.  She was at the movies last night.  Her boyfriend, also on the dark side of 50, looked equally regrettable. His long sleeve Ed Hardy shirt, it’s youthful designs and colors exploding every where but unable to overshadow the obvious fact this man is old, desperate and single.  I weep for their children.  And the future.

The first mugshot of little Andy Keaton was funny.  This new one, well, it seems hope usually goes the way of other things right around the same time you get your third neck tattoo.

Deer Hunter
Finally got this out of the way.  Shit is loooong, son.  God help me if there’s a directors cut. People never mention how firm young Meryl Streep is in this film. The Streeper is straight fine. Busted up kisser and all.  I’m gonna have to re-evaluate my whole stance on her.

A man showed me his hog in the restroom of a gay bar last weekend.  Expect to hear more about that.

Family Lies; Click here for really unremarkable... →
Meredith Baxter Birney came out of the closet.  Further proof of the continuing break down of American family values.  While steady yapping about doing the right thing, she was also harboring a dirty, furburger eating secret.  Mallory dating a loser like Nick makes a lot more sense now.  And it’s not shocking Brian Bonsall looks like this…. And Tina Yothers looked like this…. ...

Today, I am having difficulty with numbers. I am reading about the improbability of life developing in the universe, and contemplating numbers like one billion billion, (number of planets, give or take). With numbers that large, life needs only to have a one in a billion chance of developing for there to reasonably be one billion different planets with some form of life. And that’s just in the...
