worst guest ever

i listen to adam carolla on a daily basis. part of my morning routine. get up, eat, carolla. i think he is a genius and i agree with almost all of his convictions. but this morning i was catching up on the podcast and i came across monday's show with mike tyson. terrible. mike tyson is a great fighter. sure. but he is not an intelligent man and its hard for him to hold an interesting conversation. for those of you who dont listen to the show, donny is one of adams oldest friends and he is manning the computer during the podcasts. hes been playing around with intro music and dropping clips into the show. tyson is in the middle of making a documentary and so donny was playing clips of the film. i dont know if it was video and so everyone in carolla's man cave could see what was happening but for the people listening at home it was boring. it was bad audio of old archival footage. and to top it off...it was 23 minutes long. even carolla's very first podcast was 45 minutes. adam had just got done heaping praise on tyson and tyson literally stood up and started ripping the mic from his shirt.

I mean seriously. the producer of the tyson movie was there. why couldnt tyson leave and adam could talk to the other guy. i cant remember his name. but regardless. anything at that point would have been more interesting. it was terrible. if you are going to start listening please dont start with that one. it does not do the show justice.

anyway. we're moving today.

awesome.

thursdate with nbc

last night was thursday night. or as i like to call it "thursdate with nbc". on thursday nights, jessica and i bask in TV's warm glowing warming glow and enjoy two of our favorite shows, the office and 30 rock. well last night was especially amazing because not only was there 2 episodes of the office and a 30 rock but parks and recreation came to thursdate with nbc. for those of you who dont know what that is, parks and recreation is a new mockumentary style show made by the producers of the office. originally set to be an office spin off this show is all its own. amy poehler has described the two shows as fraternal twins except one is really fat. i found the pilot episode to be full of office style humor which makes it a good candidate for my top 5 tv shows list. it wasnt all i expected but what pilot really is? i felt the same way when watching season 1 of the office. funny show but there was a lot more developing to do. im confident that within the next few episodes it will be more show than i could have hoped for. anyway thats it.

this movie looks hillarious

i dont know why anyone would make this. but i thought at least a few people would find it funny.

This of course was taken before felix was born.




we especially enjoy chest hair and crazy, cool medallions.


this of course is in reference to the Barry Gibb Talk Show. Jessica and i are big fans.

a post with no nAme

i havent posted in a while so here is a simple one.

Things i have been thinking about lately. Paul Rudd. Doots. Juxtapose. what do these words have in common? nothing.

Paul Rudd (pictured left) has become a very popular actor. His new feature film, I Love You, Man, is breaking record box office numbers. Its the highest grossing comedy ever. (Facts not from reliable source) But. i think that he has gone downhill. i think his highest moment was...having a mustache. (pictured below)
I'm old fashioned in thinking that a mustache is an incredibly funny and ironic way to say "Im a man. I have chest hair. Lets date."

One day i hope to have a powerful, commanding mustache...

-Next. Doots. the bane of my existence. that man is the only thing that stands between me, a quiet uninhabited state, and a pair of sweats. if it werent for him i would be living my life happily in the country. This is what i picture him to look like.
A crazed alchoholic. If youre wondering where i found this picture of Doots, i will tell you. i google-imaged "alchoholic cox" and this came up. Doots has a book.

I dont want to talk about doots anymore. i dislike him AND his stinky green car.

-The word 'juxtapose'. i have no way to use it. but i love it.

End Scene

an observation

Notice that punishments for children are great for adults. Like "stop yelling or youre going to your room for the rest of the night." I would love to go to bed at 3. Get off of work early and sleep all day. Id like to open up the line for others to give their input. Leave a comment with childhood punishments that are beneficiary for adults.

automobile safety by travis

in my time ive been told, by a couple people, that i am a bad driver. such as: my wife, my brother, my bff matt, the dallas cowboys, the pta, and in particular; my dear father in law, brent hope. i however think not. i think i am a great driver. i feel in control and at ease at the wheel. i just happen to feel at ease and in control going 90 on the freeway. well im here to tell you today that i will never speed again. coming home from a college production of Thoroughly Modern Millie, starring fake julie andrews and my dear friend michael wheeler, i was stopped by Elma city police. I felt confident that i would be let off with a warning seeing as how it was the first ticket on my record and i was only going 19 over. well that wasnt the case. i drove home in silence with my brother, ransom. dissapointed in myself i called jess and told her what happened. needless to say she wasnt pleased. anyway what im trying to say is that there is no reason to fear my driving any longer. i am a reformed man. that is all.
