Fun With Youtube IX

Sorry I haven't been around much lately. Been a little busy lately is all. To make up for the absence here's some random junk off Youtube. Enjoy.... ?

 

Wyoming is Terrific!

According to Google Analytics I've yet to receive a single visitor from the great state of Wyoming, so to improve my stats in that area I just thought I'd share a word or two about Wyoming, home of the majestic mountain range and Yellowstone National Park. The birthplace of such notables as Matthew Fox, Larry Wilcox, and former Vice President Dick Cheney. And how about the Triceratops, Wyoming's state dinosaur, or it's state flower, the Plains Cottonwood?

You ask me the only thing that's square about Wyoming is it's shape on a map. So here's to Wyoming, "The Equality State"!

 

Updates? (again)

Hi there. Sorry I haven't been posting much lately. Haven't a whole lot to say is all, I suppose. Things've been fine lately. Not the greatest, but I've been writing, or at least trying to, and I've started, for some reason or another, adapting my TDSA (The Teenaged Defending Squad of America) screenplay into a comic book, making use of my fairly unimpressive drawing skills. I'm hoping to get through the first act and go from there, and I'm already ten pages in, with another ten laid out and ready to go. I'll post pages at some point I'm sure. By the way, I assure you that TDSA is better than it sounds. I mean, it's as corny as you're thinking (probably), but it's not terrible. I promise.

Anyway, to make up for the absence, here's the trailer for the hilarious "thriller" Birdemic. Oh my god, this thing is hilarious. Ha. Ah... but seriously, it looks pretty awful.

Have a good day.

 

My Reaction to the 2010 Oscars

Glad I won some cash betting on the winners with a friend. Surprised by how bland the bits with the presenters were. Still fail to grasp the appeal of Kristen Stewart. Thought it was hilarious that they played "I am Woman" when Kathryn Bigelow won her best director Oscar.

I mean, come on. That was just asinine. Ha.

 

Sorry Folks...

Sorry I haven't been posting around much around here lately. Things just haven't been that great lately for me. My mood's been down so it's been hard to get things done and even with the anxiety support group I went to for a few weeks there I still find it hard to get around to things that've been sitting in my "to do" pile without feeling my panic levels rising or feeling massive amounts of guilt for having put them off for so long.

So yeah, it's not that I don't simply avoid blogging, but sometimes I feel like I've betrayed my "updated weekly" bit and it's just easier to not update rather than deal with that. Which is pretty rotten all around. Unless you don't care for my writing, in which case thanks for slogging through this whole thing.

Sorry to unload this here. I'll try to have the next one be a little more upbeat and irreverent. Maybe something about... ah... what's that weiner's name? The Situation?

Anyway, have a good day.

"Experimental Film"

It's a Lion!

 

Retro Spider-Man Video Game Commercial

Does the Green Goblin actually boast about having a "gang of Nazis", or have I just misheard that entirely?

Am I a Bad Person...

Does not wanting to watch the "Hope for Haiti" telethons make me a bad person? I tried watching the "Canada for Haiti" telethon, but it was so dull I couldn't stand it. The band that came on was pretty lousy, although I admit that they were probably just not my thing and others may have enjoyed them. But the banter from the hosts was simply exhausting. I have no idea what Ben Mulroney was talking about at one point, but he'd have been better served piping down and letting Rachel McAdams speak up. And the less said about Brent Butt's pre-taped "comedy bit" the better. I figured by pledging I did my part though, and now I'm watching the Simpsons and Justice League with relatively little guilt. Barely more than I usually have hanging over me.

But still, does not watching it make me a bad person? Probably. I'm not though.

So... 2009, huh?

Kind of a 'blah' year. Uneventful really. Not that I'm averse to things being uneventful -- better that than horribly, gut-wrenchingly, painful. But still, not really much of a year. Kind of like 1999, which was equally uneventful (if not more pleasant in some ways).

Thing that strikes me about 2009 is how fast it flew by. Seems like the other day it was October. And before that, spring. I didn't accomplish as much as I'd have liked to this year. Wrote a little, read a little. Saw some things I wanted to, did some things I'd been meaning to get around to. It wasn't a great year for me personally. I hit some pretty low ebbs. Felt awfully lonely at times. That might've contributed to the way the year felt, especially how fast things went by from the summer-on. Things got pretty crummy around June, and from there I got the swine flu, then my mood took a hit again, then I got the H1N1, and now my mood's not so great...

I did come to a few conclusions this past year. For one, I think I'm officially over Journey. Pop culture's killed "Don't Stop Believing", which is kind of weird since it's not really that great a song? I was already pretty sick of it, and then Glee comes along.

Also I figured out why Alicia Silverstone's body of work never quite clicked with me. Turns out she's just not a very good actress. Not sure how this occurred to me. I might've been thinking about Miss Match. Remember that show? I was a cute enough premise, but it didn't really do it for me. Turns out it was probably the person playing the title character that futzed the whole thing up. But I digress.

So, I suppose here's a tip of my hat to 2009. Here's hoping 2010 is a little brighter though. Or barring that, 2011.

Updates?

Sorry for the lack of updates lately, but things've been a little busy. I've been getting some good stuff accomplished though (even if there's still a list of things I've yet to get to) so it's good. All the same, I've been feeling kind of unfulfilled. I usually get this way around the holidays, so it's probably just all that.

Hoping I have something eventful happen worth sharing, or at least that time stops speeding by and I remember when a week's passed so I can update on time. Man alive, 2009 went by fast. If I didn't know for sure I was around for it, I'd swear there wasn't a summer this year.
