I did an image search on the phrase “Happy New Year” and this was on the first page:
Which made me laugh, cuz I always wondered what happened to this dude who was on the side of our Pinto station wagon:
Here’s to 2007 not blowing ass!
0Yes, it’s that time of year where everyone is miserable as hell. What? Did you think you were the only one? Nope, sorry to tell you this, but everyone hates their lives right now.
Those smiles you see on people’s faces on the street? They’re just barely containing the misery and the rage.
Everyone is just keeping it together right about now.
So, put on a warmish coat, pull on your rain boots and plaster on that gigantic fake grin and go see the people you call your family.
And if you’re alone on Christmas, and you’re depressed about that… Well, let me just say that I know it’s hard to believe, but all those people you see having a good time, are full of shit and secretly they envy you. Enjoy the quiet.
Happy Holidays.
We will survive.
0Peter Boyle was one of those guys that seemed to pop up in the weirdest places. Taxi Driver, Where the Buffalo Roam… If you read “The Last Days of John Lennon” a book about the last few years of John Lennon’s life, Peter Boyle is in it. He was friends with Lennon, who served as his best man at his wedding.
Bizarre.
Anyway… When we first got a VCR, one of the only movies our local video store always had available was Young Frankenstein. I rented it over and over again. The movie made me want to get involved in comedy… Gene Wilder and Peter Boyle are truly spectacular together…
So, because all I do is embed videos from YouTube these days, here’s Puttin’ on the Ritz:
0i feel like million dollar baby. except for the boxing thing, and the realizing my potential thing… unless i have realized my potential, then that’s really sad.
wait.. was million dollar baby about realizing your potential? i can’t remember, i fell asleep part way through… it was about boxing, then she sprained her neck, like me… or something, maybe it was more serious than that… oh sorry, spoilers.
but yeah, million dollar baby… did you see crash? that was about racism. million dollar baby: neck injuries… equally maudlin.
there’s something about having to lie down for several days straight that really makes you feel miserable. i don’t know what it is… if it’s the constant pain, or feeling totally useless… but holy crap, do i want clint eastwood to come over and put me out of my misery… sorry, spoilers again.
anyway, if anything good is coming out of this, it’s that i’ve been getting some work done… sort of… it’s mostly in my head, because I can’t sit at the computer for very long… and writing with a pen hurts my neck.
that reminds me, you know what else hurts my neck?
everything.
oh, I forgot to mention – i hurt my neck.
heh.
0This blew my mind… Someone has uploaded a bunch of old episodes of Tales of The Wizard of Oz up onto Youtube. I used to watch these before school… I think it was on Global, before Hercules.
Anyway, watch and enjoy:
Here’s a bunch more.
They almost cured my neck.
Almost.
