Okay I am getting extremely tired of great shows getting cancelled. This just sucks. Journeyman just got hit on after number 12. When are the networks going to learn that the Nealson ratings don’t work anymore?! America doesn’t watch TV like we used to. We watch TV on our time!! When we want to. We can watch on the train to work in the morning from our Ipod, or record an entire season on Tivo and wait for a rainy day to watch them all.
America doesn’t have to be sitting on the couch by 7pm anymore just to catch their favorite sitcom or show. If we miss it. No big deal. Download it from the web and watch later or hit play on the TIVO or DVR. I am just so tired of great shows being cancelled before they even have a chance to come into their own. Used to be the networks would give at least a year sometimes two before yanking them off the air. But they keep shows like CSI and all of its spin off’s. Come on!!! How many shows of the same flipping murder mystery in a different part of the country do we need to see?
You know what is lacking? People in America don’t have an imagination anymore. They are afraid to think. They believe that if they think something bad will happen to them. So they are content to be told what to think and feel and anything outside of that is just wrong to them. You know I try to keep my thoughts about this to myself but I just cant anymore. Its all the fault of right wing neo-con christian fundamentalist groups!!!! There I said it!! Yes its because they want you to believe that free-will is a bad thing and will send you to hell. (I have actually been told that)
When are the Christians going to get a big fat slap on the face?
You know I could do the obligatory Thanksgiving blog post since it is Thanksgiving Eve. And in doing so I would have to say what I am thankful for. Things such as my wife, my job, my dog Gabe, and everything that is right with with my life. While I am at it I could get all sappy and tell you all that the best T-Days I ever had where in Georgia with my family down there. Then tell you all that I miss them very much and wish I could share this one with them as I have done with so many others in the past. But I am not going to do it, I refuse to follow Millions of Bloggers out there and do what is expected and demanded. So….GO SCREW!!
Well I have been trying to figure out for some time now if I am a fanboy of anything. I have friends that are fanboys of things such as Blu-Ray, or Polk Audio, or Macintosh. First you have to ask yourself what is required to be a “Fan Boy” well I am going to try to answer that then I will try to decipher if I am a “Fan Boy”
1. To be a “Fanboy” you should really have a lot of deep gusto for something. And what I mean is you should feel deeply about something. To the point that you are dreaming about your “Fanboy” subject lets say at least once a week.
2. You should be subscribed to a minimum of 1 internet forums and check it somewhere between 3-6 times a day for updates. As well as being subscribed to any and all RSS update feeds or podcast that you can possibly find about the subject.
3. You should be able to work your subject of “Fanboy”dom into almost any conversation no matter what the subject is about. For instance if you are a “fanboy” of Transformers the toy and somebody is talking about….lets say the latest Soda Pop on the market. You could interject with…”Hey did you see that pop machine in the movie get transformed into a Transformer?”
I would say with those three simple rules you should be able to identify yourself or any of your friends as “Fanboy’s”. So with that in mind. I can tell you I am not a fanboy of anything. I am however a fan of many things. So I guess maybe I could be called a Jack of all Fans….? Somehow that isn’t right. As you can see I can work Transformers into almost any conversation. And I do dream about them but not on a weekly basis. More like semi-weekly. But I do not belong to any forums or podcast that use them as a subject.
I will keep thinking about this I am sure I am a fanboy of something. I just have to find it. Oh no!! What if this becomes my topic of fanboydom? Oh god help me now.
So what is new. Well I have successfully shown 2girls1cup to just about all of my friends and I must say the reactions were great. The best being Reawriters when he started to dry heave at the end of it. I still chuckle. Second being Steven calling me and nicely telling me after viewing it that he WILL find a way to get me back. Oh what fun.
You know about every six months there is always a shock video or picture that goes around. I ussually get a pretty good laugh out of them. And ussually I get my laugh from seeing the reactions of other people.
Which sorta brings me to my sense of humor. I have odd one at times. The basis is I find it EXTREMELY hilarious to scare people. This has almost gotten me beat up several times. As some people don’t like being scared. But I cant help it. I giggle every time. Like the last one. I was walking out of Gerbes one day and this lady was just staring at me. But she had this glazed over look like she could see but she was just somewhere else. So when I got about five feet from her I stomped my feet on the ground and shouted “BOO” in a semi-crouched position. I scared her so bad she almost fell to her knees. I think I gave a bit a heart murmur. Oh what great fun! I walked off laughing as she burned a hole in the back of my head.
Another great scare I had happened when I was dating my wife. I went over to her house on a thursday afternoon as I knew at this time she was always taking her bath(She took showers normally but for some reason thursday was her bathday). So I figured I would wait for her in her bedroom. Her house was always open and nobody ever rang the bell you just sorta walked in. So anyway I was under the cover her in bed. Her bed was so fluffy that you could actually a hide a person under the sheets and nobody would ever know you where there. So I hid when I heard somebody comming. Planning at the right moment I would pop out and shout “BOO!” So that is what I did. I waited and through a crack in the sheets I made so I could see. I saw my prey. It was her mother. She came in with some laundry set it on the end of the bed. And started to fold it. So as she picked up her first piece of laundry I sat straight up and shouted “BOO!” Georgia dropped the article of clothing and started to bat at the air like she was being attacked by bugs. After she realized what had actually happened she threw some clothes at me and walked out while curseing. I think she went to go make a drink after that.
Okay this post has taken 15 minutes to write because I am hysterical with laughter.
