A Crossroads
I seriously feel like I am at a crossroad right now. Which way does one go? What do I do? What do I say? What do I think? That jumbled all together creates for a huge psychological mess. Lucky for me I have sarcasm and cynicism to get me through the day. Well, those things and a sick sense of humor. When you can laugh at the most horrible things it becomes easy to laugh at what life brings you. Trust me on that one, folks.
Halloween is on my way. I am not sure what is going down for that weekend anymore. The plans have been quiet thus far. I will tel you this much: Something IS happening that weekend. If I have to physically drag people out to some sort of costume party or whatnot, I totally WILL do it. I have a costume selected and I am eager to show off the creative stroke I had this year. Now last year we truly did hit pay dirt with the Hogan/Warrior combination. Did we not? We were an utter hit. The early theme for this year was going to be Super Mario Brothers with me going as Bowser, but that hit the shitter when I realized it would not be all that financially feasible. I tell you what is though. My new costume is more in my price range. All I can tell you is that I will be some sort of doctor.
I was going to talk about work right here, but we seriously do not have that kind of time. Believe me when I say that I could drone on and on about it.
Instead lets talk about some other things I enjoyed recently. If you get a chance to see the B horror movie, Satan's Little Helper, I suggest you watch a little bit of it. Now by no means should you pay for this monstrosity of a movie. Get it free if you can. Anyway, my point about it is that there are a couple hilarious scenes with some real creative stuff I hadn't seen in a horror movie before.
Go see Little Miss Sunshine if you get the chance. It may be the best movie of the year. It is in my top five with Over the Hedge, V for Vendetta, Snakes on a Plane, and Slither(which I haven't seen yet, but know will be good). Seriously though, go see Little Miss Sunshine. It is one of those movies that people will relate to for the sheer fact that it will remind them of their own fucked up families. Steve Carrell is brilliant in the thing. He will most likely get a few award nominations. The movie as a whole should be nominated. You get a little drama, a chunk of comedy, and a dash of sweetness you don't get with other movies.
Coming up on Tuesday is the DVD release of Slither. I am not going to lie to you, folks. I am looking forward to that one. Color me geek, but I just can't help it. I am a sucker for cult hits. I didn't even mention the fact that Nathan Fillion of Firefly is in it.
Two weeks from now is the quarter centennial celebration here in Whitewater for me. I have no idea what is going down yet, but turning 25 seems to be a big deal. It should be a big deal. How often do you officially start inching towards 30. There is a depressing aspect to it though because I am pretty sure that I imagined myself in a much better place by this age if you would have asked ten years ago. It is fine though. Fuck it. Life could be worse. I at least have my memory and a full head of hair. Hmmm, I do wonder when that will go.
Oh hey, one more thing. This Friday, and even today still, my TV blog at TV Guide's website was selected as a Featured Post. They had the link to it up on their homepage. From the looks of it, over 300 some people have read it already. It looks as if they liked what I wrote. The cool thing is that it was the first time I posted anything at their site. I will continue to write posts there in hopes that they continue to feature them. Hell, who knows, maybe I could get a job with them. Okay, so that is stretching it a bit.
Random hits:
-Medusa is an evil bitch
-Fantasy Football just isn't going my way anymore
-oops, lost at Megabucks again.
- I was roped into playing intramural volleyball. heaven help me. Seriously
