Wow.

June 2, 2010 was my last post?? The posts REALLY went to the wayside. I posted basic things, posted just to keep posting. Blogging is part of my therapy. Writing is actually, and blogging was a great way to let it all out.

I'm back. For how long, I don't know. My life has changed profusely. I spooned with someone and have a baby on the way in April. I married (will be marrying) that girl and I'm going to spend the rest of my life with her. I moved to Kansas City.

The best part of the move, aside from all the delicious BBQ and Kansas City Royals jerseys is that my old car is sitting in Arizona. In retirement. It's been there for 3 years and been away from my driving hands for 4+. Until now.

Tomorrow I transverse some state lines and I head to Arizona to retrieve my silver beauty and I'm driving her back to Kansas City. A good old fashioned road trip. With my pops.

The destination is known, the stops in between not. I hope to take pictures, see Sturgis and eat some good food along the way. I'll think about life and think about spooning more.

I don't promise anything exciting during my road trip but here's to America and here's to Spooning With A Stranger in 2011. Lots of strangers.

Eyjafjallajokull

I miss this site. I wish I wasn't busy and I wish my computer at home hadn't exploded leaving me with nothing but an abacus to use to try and log on to the internet.

No point in wasting time...Here's a pretty incredible time-lapse video put together by a seemingly random guy who actually is well known for creating some music videos in Hollywood via time-lapse shots.

He went to Iceland to get shots of the impossible to pronounce volcano, Eyjafjallajokull, and came away with an awesome video creation.

Enjoy.

ALIVE!! (I am)

Ok Go is from Chicago.

Their first video was epically cool...

This new video, released yesterday I believe is by far cooler. This is the best mouse trap ever built. This video is one of the coolest videos you will ever see. We repeatedly watched it at work trying to figure out where the cuts were. We found one for sure. Knowing OK GO, it wouldn't be surprising if they made this whole video in a few shots. It's entirely feasible.

Enough blabbering...watch "This Too Shall Pass"

The next video is from the Gorillaz new album "Plastic Beach". Featuring Mos Def and Bobby Womack, the song "Stylo" is addictive. It's got a great beat, sounds like something from the future, and oozes that cool Gorillaz style that people love and hate.

Once you watch the video, I assume you'll love it. Not nearly as complicated as Ok Go's, this video has one main concept. And Bruce Willis. That's enough to qualify as f*cking awesome.

I also have a feeling this video will be the first in a series of videos that highlight the Gorillaz new singles from the album, and hopefully star Willis in all of them.

Gorillaz - "Stylo"

Dolph Lundgren Still Kicks Ass

Dolph Lundgren. Is. The coolest guy on. The earth.

This is like David Hasselhoff but way more emotionally enticing. Dolph Lundgren is still alive and he will still eat your soul.

POISON

Barack Obama called the #1 Kentucky Wildcats to thank them for their Haiti fundraising help and to talk basketball. He told them to stay focused. The #1 Kentucky Wildcats then proceeded to go out and lose to an unranked basketball team.

Coincidence? I don't think soooooo........

Movie Trailer Monday!

Another awesome movie trailer...

Tucker vs. Dale vs. Evil (I don't even know if that's the correct movie title)

This movie is a complete misunderstanding of hilarity with no huge actors and just generally funny scenes. Hopefully this is as good as it looks and this movie becomes as popular as it should.

Enjoy a laugh.

Robin Hood Update

I remember when I first read that Christian Bale was going to play Robin Hood and Russell Crowe was going to be The Sheriff of Nottingham in Ridley Scott's new "Robin Hood" movie...

That got thrown out the window and I thought I read that Crowe was going to play BOTH characters...

That got thrown out too (because THAT would have been retarded) and instead we are at Russell Crowe playing Robin Hood just like sweet ass Kevin Costner.

This looks a bit like Gladiator in terms of the intensity, cinematography, and overall awesomeness and that's a good thing. Ridley Scott knows how to direct epics and Russell Crowe has the intensity to make it look whoop ass.

Check out the other new international trailer from First Showing here.

Yikes

I hate Florida (Gators, not Disney World) and I hope Urban Meyer coaches again so some team can annihilate his stupid team and Meyer passes out on the sideline and never gets up.

Nonetheless, I give credit where credit is due and this kid, albeit on the Florida basketball team (which I hate much less) stabs a bunch of stakes through the heart of the NC State basketball team with this game winning basket.

It's a ridiculously perfect shot.

Happy New Year

Fat Guy Jumps Into a Lake.....

Creed Shreds - The highlight of Creed Shreds is seeing it on 'Film Drunk' and seeing that the video won the 'Best Viral Video No One Sent Me' award on FD. I saw Creed this summer and it was awesome slash horrible and so the Creed Shreds video has provided hours upon hours of endless laughter that has ended in internal bleeding numerous times.

Awesome Video I Just Saw For the First Time Ever...

J*zz in My Pants

And just because it was one of the most highly viewed videos of the year/all-time

I Wish It Was Christmas Today

Christmas is awesome. It's the time of our Lord Savior Jesus Christ and the time you get to yell "Merry Christmas!" to all other pointless religions.

Also, you get music gems that make you feel happy and make the Christmas spirit even more ass-whooping.

A bunch of years ago, when Jimmy Fallon looked like a homeless guy, he recorded a song on SNL with a real homeless guy, Horatio Sanz. Sanz and Fallon shared the same office and one day Sanz started screwing around with the tiny guitar on his desk. Fallon, liking what he heard, started playing the keyboard and singing along and poof, "I Wish It Was Christmas Today" was born.

Lorne Michaels liked it so much, he made them do a skit about it.

Flashforward to today...

Jimmy Fallon hosts Late Night and Horatio Sanz is still homeless. However, the Christmas spirit overpowers all and reunites the love that lives inside all of us during the holidays.

So Jimmy Fallon grabbed his favorite homeless friend and with the help of Julian Casablancas and the endlessly cool "Roots", made people shout, "I Wish It Was Christmas Today"!

Merry Christmas. And Merry Christmas only.

Run From the Baltimore Cops

Ray Lewis is a monster. He literally has ate NFL players for his entire career. His passion for the game of football is unrivaled and his intelligence on the football field will most likely lead to a career on the coaching sidelines once he retires from playing.

In his spare time, he trains police officers to chase down criminals and homeless people to stay in shape. It's one of the many things Lewis does off the field that have rebuilt his reputation since the infamous Atlanta nightclub incident 9 years ago that led to Lewis being charged with murder. Lewis was eventually acquitted of the charges and evidence shakily pointed to no major wrong-doing from Lewis.

Lewis got back on the football field, began playing even more inspired than ever, and started killing (not literally) people better than ever on the football field.

Now Lewis uses some of his time to train Baltimore Police Officers how to chase down drug addicts and tackle killers like they do in 'The Wire'. Lewis has inspired a "it's never over til it's over" feeling among his trainees and an insane mentality that allows his disciples to scare the living shite out of criminals when they realize Ray Lewis Jr. is running after them.

Personally, Ray Lewis as a Baltimore Police Officer would be the only show on the face of this earth that would be more entertaining than Steven Seagal's 'Lawman'. Can we make this happen?

Like him or not, this video is a cool story. Suck ass Baltimore criminals.
