Blue People Got No Reason To Live

Okay, so the thing was, I was not going to write a post about Avatar because I felt like it was past the time to be discussing it. However, the other night, I got to talking about it with my friend Henry and I got annoyed about it all over again, so I figured I [...]

Fixing Versus Comforting

Boy and I are two very different people and the time that this is most evident is when one of us is having a bad day. When I am having a bad day, the thing I want most is for someone to give me a big hug and comfort me. I can usually figure out [...]

The Ghost Of Mako Is Smiting Me!

Earlier this week, I made a crack about Mako from Conan the Barbarian not having enough of screen presence to pull off having one name. I also made a crack about him throwing out his back. Not too long after I wrote all that, I managed to effortlessly pull a muscle in my neck/back that [...]

Ricky Gervais Scares The Crap Out Of Elmo

As someone who predated the Elmo only Sesame Street era, I can’t say I am a fan of the little red guy but this Sesame Street Sketch is so amazing, it rocks my socks. I really wish that Ricky Gervais would find an amazing American vehicle for himself, just because I think that more people [...]
