second best day ever

Dark Horizons is reporting that Darren Aronofsky (my favorite director on the whole freakin planet) has signed on to direct an episode of ABC's Lost, which will air around the beginning of May sweeps.

Although smaller scale than his films, the mere thought of what he could do on Lost is throwing me into a seizure....

why is this the second best day? Because the best day will be when the episode actually airs. Now I just have to wait until may...

argh!

CNN is actually reporting that if an election were held today President Bush would lose.

TALK ABOUT YOUR POINTLESS FUCKING NEWS!

While we're talking pointless news, I'm going to say right now that I could probably kick Godzilla's ass in hand to hand combat. Report that you CNN bitches! At least there's some human interest there... well, for me anyway.

The funny thing is that my fight with Godzilla is about as likely as a Bush election at this juncture so what is the point? What good does this information do me?

Yes his approval rating is in the shitter, and he's pissing people off right and left, but it doesn't matter since all he has to do is manage to not get lynched during the remainder of his term... which is his second term... which a bunch of idiots gave him in the first place.

And don't think for a second that Bush feels some sense of loyalty to the party. Don't give me that bullshit line that he has a duty to right the ship for the good of the party to ensure another republican congress and or president. Don't give me that because the current administration is only interested in doing things for their own embetterment. They could give a flying shit about anyone else. It doesn't matter if you're red, blue, their mother, gay daughter... whatever. You're just a pawn for their benefit and if you can't help them get what they want then you can go fuck yourself... which is about all you'll have left when they are finished with this country.

Hell, they'll probably make that illegal too.

... dear god... I just need to stop reading the news completely.

I do NOT get it

CNN.com has an article that dares speculate "who will replace Howard Stern?" Although there is a small list of people who could be the next big thing on the radio, it is quite possible that there will never be another Howard Stern.

Boo fuckin who

I never understood anything about Stern. The guy is not funny. He's not interesting. Oooh he has naked women on the radio. That’s real exciting entertainment if you have never heard of... oh yeah, the internet. If anything he's just proved how dull and stupid strippers and porn stars are and no wonder they don't get paid to talk...

What other amazing marvels can you reveal, Howard?

I for one won't miss Howard Stern. His sidekick Artie--I don't know his last name--has never said a funny thing in his whole life. He couldn’t be funny if had a damn joke book glued to his hand.

Good riddance to both of you.

While I'm at it, other people who need to disappear are Adam Carolla, Jimmy Kimmel, and that bitch Joe Rogan. These guys are so unfunny it hurts.

There are plenty of comics out there who are genuinely funny that will never have their own Comedy Central talk show. Its a crime against all comics who bust their asses that dullard half-wits such as these are paraded about as "entertainers' and offered to the public as someone worth even a second of what little time we have on this earth.

Of course, leave it to the American public to love each and everyone of these lame-ass dipshits, tuning in right after they get done watching The OC.

If you really need to morn anything or anyone in the entertainment industry, shed a tear that Jim Cameron isn’t making any more movies with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Cry that Rocky VI or King Conan isn’t in production right now. Then throw a rock through the window at Warner Brothers Studios for sitting on Darren Aronofsky’s The Fountain. Release it! PLEASE!

I’m sorry you suits are too stupid to get it. You assholes have no shame in shoving shit like The Dukes of Hazzard upon the masses, but you won’t take a chance on what could potentially be the most interesting and thought provoking film released this year????

Those guys will never listen to me. They’re too busy rolling naked in their Harry Potter cash piles to listen to my tiny voice.

It is about time

CNN is reporting that Sylvester Stallone has signed on to reprise his role as boxer Rocky Balboa in a sixth installment of the series. He will write AND direct.

I'm thrilled to hear this. Laugh if you want... hell, you could scoff even. The truth is, this may be the best chance he has to make enough money he can finally pay back that 20 bucks he owes me...

if only we could beam him up

CNN is reporting that the cremated remains of actor James Doohan, famous for his role as Scotty in the original Star Trek television series, were to be launched into space in accordance with his last wishes.

Sadly the launch was canceled due to electrical problems. A spokesman for the Space Services Inc told the family about the cancellation:"we don't have the power."

makes me so sad

There are a lot of things that make me sad... things that other people do. The people that do them... well thats another story.

For one thing, Now that I am in my thirties I try to avoid talking about things I did in high school. Not that it wasn't a great time in my life, I've simply lived enough since then that I find I have other things to talk about. I find that people who are still talking high school sports glory stories at my age are really, rather pathetic.

Worse than that are people in their twenties that have no high school sports stories to tell, yet manage to find plenty to talk about thanks to time spent playing peewee football or Jr. Jazz...

If the best you can do in the realm of conversation is talk about your city league sports days when you were in 8th grade, you should probably shut the fuck up. I don't care who you tackled, or who you boxed out to the floor, or how many times you fouled out... there is no one on this planet who gives a flying fuck. Not to mention the fact that it simply rubs the guys who have only Junior Varsity stories the wrong way.

JUST LET IT GO!

Another thing... I was recently privy to a serious debate on what was the better show, Sesame Street or Between the Lions. I guess there may be a time and place for that if you happen to be a parent or... I don't know... six years old. If you are a single male between the ages of 21 and 25 and you have no kids and you are having this discussion there is a very good chance that you are never going to get laid.

Ever.

Never ever.

And just so you know the Mr. Belvedere Fan Club guys are going to beat the living shit out of you. Not only because they can, but because you desperately need it.

You should probably start running.

And for the record, Sesame Street is WAY better.

I got your Terminator right HERE!

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger confirmed an open secret Friday, telling supporters that he's running for re-election next year -- an early announcement designed to re-energize his sagging political momentum.

You knew--you had to know--he'd be back for a sequel. I'm relieved he didn't hold a press conference to actually say "I'll be back!" If there is anywhere they need to pass a law against flogging dead horses it is certainly California.

Let me be the first to say that it is high time Mr. Schwarzenegger returned to his cinematic career... it makes ignoring him so much simpler.

obligatory update

I've been having a very hard time getting around to updates. This is not due to a lack of ideas or anything of that nature. I simply haven't felt like putting my thoughts on line.

I feel bad because I realize as my updates become less frequent, the number of people who visit my site are steadily dropping. It's depressing to realize that there are people out there who think I'm worth a few moments of their time only to find the same old shit staring them in the face day after day. Who needs that?

I know I'm slipping when even Yale President Richard Levin stops sending me hate mail:

Mr. Blunderson.

You suck. Can you please update your blog so I can be reminded of just how bad you do suck?

Regards,

Richard Levin - President of Yale (the greatest University on Earth that I am President of)

PS What could be wrong with using the internet to follow the brilliant career of Brittney Spears? As far as I'm concerned it is the second best reason for having a computer. The first will always be having e-mail so I can tell you that you suck.

I had no idea

I have a friend at work who really enjoys my blog. Sadly, since she has no computer of her own she depends on the computers at the Orem Public Library to check her e-mail, catch up on Brittney Spears related news, and to follow my website.

The only problem is my site is blocked by the content filter that the Orem Public Library uses so she is unable to access it from there, and therefore unable to read my blog.

I have to admit that I don't know exactly how internet filters work. I could ask my brother, or look it up on the internet, but my brother already poked fun at me for "putting way too much research" into my blog. I do suspect that the OPL Filter is either set to block specific sites or can scan text for content.

Although the system probably operates using both techniques simultaneously, I'll guess it is the latter that is keeping anyone who uses their computers from falling victim to my ramblings… I do after all put the Blah in blog

Looking back over the entries on this page I realize that on two occasions I used the dreaded f word which probably has something to do with the fact that my site is getting filtered. That’s funny—to me anyway—since I make no conscious effort to use it or not use it… I only write what is in my brain and if there happens to be colorful metaphor embedded in the heaping mess that spews forth onto my keyboard on its way to becoming web content then so be it. If it happens it happens… At least that is how I felt before I considered any such ramifications.

To my friend I say - "sorry for the inconvenience. I'll try to do better."

PS Fuckity fuck… fuck… fucking fuck.

best DVD's ever

A note to the people who market and design DVD covers:

If the "special features" listed on the back cover are limited to interactive menus, chapter selection, and 5.1 surround then I should probably tell you that your features are NOT special at all. Quit calling them that! Call them standard features or don't call them anything.
