A Few Things I Wish People Would Stop Saying

"Cause that's just how I roll"

"Like" (as every other word)

"Awesome" (when what they are talking about something that isn't even in the same neighborhood as awesome)

"Super" (when describing something they think is great)

"Peeps" (when describing people. this one has been on my list for a long time)

What Can Make Anything Better?

Let's face it people, times are tough. We are in a recession and unemployment is rising. We just finished up a tough election season and while a little over half the people are pleased, just a bit under half the people are not. While gas is low now, we were gouged like never before over the last year. Food prices went up during the same period.

Things haven't been as good as they could have been. And we are looking for answers. We are looking for something to make us feel better both about the state of the world and ourselves. We could turn to many things in these tough times. Some people go down the wrong roads and look to drugs, or alcohol. Others choose religion and find peace in God. Some buy things to feel better and others turn to comfort foods.

I offer you something else to make you feel good, if only for a moment. It can take your day, and turn it around. It can bring friends together and help them share a song and a laugh. It so simple, yet at the same time, very complex. It is a miracle cure in my estimation. What is this wonderful answer?

People of the world, I give you...

You are welcome.

Something I Think I Think About Music

Here goes...

When not so great music becomes old or older not so great music, nostalgia kicks in and it's not so bad anymore.

Follow me? Cause there has to be a good reason I found myself rockin' out in the car today to Higher by Creed (a song I hated the first time around). Otherwise I flat out suck.

In the spirit of my recent oppressive stance towards comments,the first person who says I suck in the or anything remotely close to it, I am hunting you down. I am looking for validation here people. :-) Also, Clint is not allowed to post one on this post. ;-)

That is all. Peace, Love, and validation.

Bromance

Bromance. It's all the rage and guys everywhere should be jumping on it. If you haven't heard of it click HERE to read up. The short of it is this:

Describes the complicated love and affection shared by two straight males. Non-sexual.

Some notable and famous bromances would be Brad Pitt and George Clooney as well as Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. Damon and Affleck have been bromantic for a while now actually. I've also heard Will Smith and Tom Cruise have quite the bromance, but thankfully will hasn't had a sip of the Scientology Kool-Aid yet.

Can you imagine what the movie would have been like if it had been BROmancing the Stone? Man, that would have been awesome! Michael Douglas opposite Michael Keaton would have ruled!

So doods, if you don't have one of these deals going on you better go find yourself the coolest straight male you can and bromance the heck out of him.

(and i said i wanted this blog to grow up. tee hee hee.)

Legendary Party

My little bro threw an awesome little Christmas party this past weekend. As we usually do at these soirées we broke out the karaoke and made fools of ourselves. The best sport and most entertaining performance of the night was from our good buddy Mickey. We call this one "Mickey and the Jets". Enjoy and be kind with any comments...

Sometimes When We Touch

Ok, let's break up the seriousness for just a second with some funny.
While scanning stations in the car today, one of the classics from the 70's hit my ears. Sometimes When We Touch by Dan Hill. I remember this song when I was 6 or 7 and even then I knew that Dan Hill was a big 'ole pile of sappy sissy boy. (political correctness alert!) Seriously, do women really want a dood like this:

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
O wanna hold you till I die
Till we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

Really Dan? Wow. I hope that if I ever talk to my wife in THIS way, she smacks the fear out of me and saves us both from waiting till it subsides. I can be sweet with my lady, but I'll be Dan Hilled if I turn into a Jello Pudding Pop. Ok, I'm gonna go listen to "Just the Way You Are" by Billy Joel now.

You Gotta Check Out the "Hoff"

Haselhoff that is. This is good for a laugh. I think he spent $37.14 on this video...

 

Anti-Establishment

Today on ESPN Radio, Colin Cowherd got into a rant about the "anti-establishment" crowd and how silly and inconsistent they can be. It was really pretty funny and for the most part, spot on. He started cracking on the Bulgarian Beer drinking, indy rocking, "zipper faced", anti-everything crowd and then went on to point out how even they sell out to the establishment at some point.

Here are some of mine. We all know some of these people.

* Some of us have that one friend who just can't drink that crappy mainstream American beer. No, he's too good for a Miller Lite. Yet, he drinks Guinness. How much more establishment can you get than Guinness these days. Come on!

* Some of us know those people who just can't like a mainstream rock band. Nah, they have to rip it and then tell us how good Sufjan Stevens is and that we gotta quit selling out our musical taste. Last I checked, he works for the establishment and sells a few records.

* And what about that guy that absolutely hates his own state's college football powerhouse for no good reason? No, I'm gonna hate the Tennessee Vols and root for someone like West Virginia or Notre Dame instead cause it makes me look cool. Traitor. Come on!

* Then there is the guy who thinks he's all cool with his 10g earrings and then turns around and works in slacks and polo's for a large hospital chain. Oh, wait, that's me. Umm...

* Then you have the goth and punk folks, and I have nothing against you being goth or punk if you want to be. But what does bother me is that you want to be so "rebel" while spending lots and lots of money on all your garb. Come, I know those black pants big enough for a small child to live in comfortably with 143 zippers aren't cheap. And you can't get them at the Salvation Army. Spending all that money is taking part in the establishment and making them very rich. Ha!

* Oh, and how about this one. What about the suburban white kid who has to look, act, and talk like what HE THINKS is "black", rages against the man with the guys rapping who have lived through hell, yet he himself lives in a 600,000 dollar house and gets everything he wants. Oh, and when he runs into black people in person, he's scared to death. Poser. Come on!

Anyway, you guys have some good anti-establishment inconsistencies?
