Mission Improbable

Just sitting here with Mattski on New Year's Eve wondering if this will be the year he will grab me at midnight and plant a big one on me...

Doppleganger

This M&M dispenser I found lying around the house bears a striking resemblance to Tom Servo.

ye olde whalebone underwears

some of my movie choices of the last several days (ie, Stagecoach and Young Victoria) have me wondering if ANYONE back in the day took any issue with the fact that pregnant women seemed to just keep on with the corsets. staggering that you wouldn't jump on an excuse like that.

Not So Deep, Not So Thought Provoking Question

Did the movie Muppets Take Manhattan precede the cartoon Muppet Babies? Or did the cartoon Muppet Babies precede the movie Muppets Take Manhattan?

Speaking of Muppets Take Manhattan... Seeing Kermit the Frog sprawled out on the asphalt after being hit by a taxi was to me a bit anticlimactic.

Happy Holidays!

From all of us here to our handful of faithful followers: We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Your comments are always very appreciated and I am convinced we have the best small following ever!

How To Describe a 3D Movie

It's a lot like looking into a View Master.

Sweet Zucchini Pie!

Why on earth would an old person want to be cast in a role as an old person in their death bed? Seeing as that will probably be them shortly anyway, I'd think it ought to be really depressing.

Donner Party

If I was forced to eat another human being to survive, I'd at least joke about it a little bit. Try and lighten the mood.

Music Rant #2

I used to think The Get Up Kids would be just fine with Matt Pryor alone. But after hearing their new song "Automatic," I realize how important it is that Jim Suptic is there to mix things up. It's not like The Goo Goo Dolls who could pull it off with just Rzeznik. Suptic is a talented artist and a vital part in making the Kids what they are today.

I Found This Hammer at Work

I imagine if Super Mario Brothers was real, this is what those hammers being hurled from those pesky, little turtles would look like.

He Saw What?

If only the kid who saw mommy kissing Santa Claus knew. Instead he (or she) is left to live out the remainder of his (or her) childhood in question of her fidelity; afraid to say anything to Dad for fear he'd up and leave Mom. Well Mom... Congratulations! You just screwed up your child's life. Wouldn't want that on my conscience.

Sam Rockwell vs. Sam Rockwell

Only on the moon. Where anything is possible.

Call Me Cheesy

But I have this fake fireplace simulator on my Wii and I love it! I just turn it on at night before I go to bed and pretend I'm falling asleep to the crackling of a real fire. Everyone should own one.

Music Rant #1

Music ADD. Some people are so intent on listening to the latest radio hit that they are quick to toss aside the old without second thought. I blame the source of this condition on the music industry. Buying into this ideal is exactly what they want because it is a sure fix for getting rich quick. They push out one hit after the other, endorsing and playing the crap out of it before releasing the next new single that is almost assuredly written by anyone but the artist (essentially milking a song for all it's worth then leaving it on the side of the road to die). These songs - as catchy as they may be sometimes - cease to exist because they have no substance and get old very fast. This vicious cycle is essentially breeding a younger generation of music ADD kids and rescinding the integrity of pop as we once knew it back in the 60's, 70's, and even 80's - when a radio hit actually stood for something.

Definition

Since the question was brought up the other day...

Jejune cogitation: A carefully considered thought or reflection without significance.

Untitled

at what point in the year is an acceptable time to start listening to christmas music during every waking moment-
a) if you're a girl?
b) if you're a boy?
c) if you're a single girl with lots of kitty cats?

Coming Soon!

Music rants.

Labyrinth

I could use a goblin dance party in my bedroom right about now... Ludo! I need you!

[and now I wait]

Dang! It didn't work.

Cheese Burger

The thought reminds me of a time when I observed an Indian Hindu dude bring his burger up to the front counter. He explains to the cashier that he ordered a cheese burger and wonders why it has a beef patty on it and she just doesn't get it. He grows annoyed... She grows annoyed... End result. The guy get's a plain bun with just a slice of cheese on it.

Animal Abuse Commercials

They always use slow panning and zooming techniques on puppies and kittens. No one wants to see a grown up dog or cat, because they just wouldn't appear as sad and helpless. I suppose this is how they get their donations.

Similarities

As I sat down and watched the acclaimed 2009 Norwegian horror film Skjult (aka Hidden) the other day, I couldn't help thinking to myself that the waterfall and cliff looked familiar. But where had I seen it before? That's when it hit me. First Blood. I'm pretty sure it's the exact same cliff Rambo jumped from - or fell off of... Been awhile since I've seen it. A confirmation of this fact would be much appreciated.

The Truth Is

Friends that lie to you are no friends at all.

Untitled

That Progressive commercial is the funniest yet! But it still doesn't answer the question, "How much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?"

I would have got away with it if it wasn't for you meddling kids! Scooby Dooby Doo, Where Are You?

What's Wrong With People?

The other day I clicked on this internet IQ test thing and took it. I felt that it was pretty easy, but never got my results back because I refused to give out my cell phone number. I couldn't quite put my finger on one thing however. The average IQ is 100. As I was looking down the list of people who had taken the test, I was seeing IQ's that ranged mostly from 50-80. In fact, the highest on the day was 103. That's when the thought occurred to me! The only reason I wasn't seeing higher scores was because the people with the higher IQ's aren't stupid enough to give out their number to someone they don't know.

Fruit Stripe Gum

Would it kill them to market a formula that retains the flavor a bit longer?

95!!!

That's five less than a hundred. Like the raging wildfire in the hills behind our house, my collection of hit music from the 80's continues to grow. What on earth could one person want with so many 80's songs? Answered simply... Why is the sky blue? Why do zebras have black stripes (or white stripes for that matter)? Why is the square root of four times an imaginary number 1.41421356 + 1.41421356i?

10 Things I Hate About Matt

1. He revoked my admin privileges on this blog
2. He has no responsibility
3. He can sit around all day blogging due to reason #2
4. He can sing higher than most adult males
5. His glasses are meant to look stupid, but actually rock
6. He doesn't match his clothes, and nobody notices
7. He uses words I don't understand
8. He knows more 80's songs than me, and that was my era
9. He makes fun of himself making it less fun to make fun of him
10. He can eat anything he wants and as much of it as he wants, and won't gain an ounce

Retro Junk

A California Raisin with cool orange shades -- and who looks like he is flipping people off -- belongs in a car.

Eulogy

Or did you think I was too dumb to know what a yagoogaly was? As for that beetle that was on the verge of drowning that I tried to save, but instead watched helplessly wash down the storm drain... Surely you were a good bug and I'm sorry. May you rest in peace.

I Would Not Wish Such A Fate Upon Anyone

"Your hesitancy has cost you dearly. The Wizard, sensing your apprehension, unleashes a fatal bolt from the ice scepter. With luck, you will thaw in several million years."

the applicability of statistics in decision-making would make a nice school house rock.

my least favorite statistic is when they (the vague mass of media/population) say that you should wear your seatbelt even on short trips, because you're blah blah times more likely to be in an accident within blah blah miles of your own home.
no doi.
every time you go ANYWHERE, you leave your own home and return to it, so statistically, if you're driving at ALL, you're adding to the likelihood of driving near your home.
isn't that right?
or did i really actually deserve that D in statistics?

Expansion

Today somebody's ipod saw a new song added to their ever expanding 80's Playlist: The Smith's "There is a Light That Never Goes Out." What would the world be without Morrisey?

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

Films can be just as -- if not more -- enjoyable when you go to see them by yourself...

Funky Fresh

A word of caution. Be careful when reaching into your bathroom bag for that toothbrush. You just might slice your finger open on a razor, and that doesn't feel very good.

A Carefree Winter Day

Consists of a bag of Wintergreen Lifesavers and a 44 oz Hawaiian Punch with a touch of Country Time Lemonade and Sierra Mist.

The Time Has Arrived!

I know I have kept you all on the edge of your seats waiting for my first comment, so here it is...

Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made from real lemons?

I know it was more of a question than a comment, but that's all I got...

Liberation

Is learning to accept things as they are.

Porch Swing

My thoughts are uneasy and I feel restless.
I grab my pillow and head to the porch swing out front.

I'm surrounded by the dark silhouettes of trees,
The city lights throughout the valley can be seen in the distance.
Lightning strikes over the towering mountains illuminating the night sky,
The summer breeze is cool and the scent of rain can be smelt in the air.
The sweet sound of music quietly plays in my ears,
To me it is not so quiet however.
The lyrics stir up thoughts and memories,
Most of which are comforting and good.
The mosquito bites up and down my legs cannot tempt me to retire inside,
The simplistic beauty I find in everything surrounding me at that moment will not allow it.

It is here that I am in control;
It is here that I am at peace;
It is here that I feel at home.

Some Changes Are About To Go Down 2

I finally feel the changes I set out to accomplish have been satisfied. This blog now feels complete, for the time being. Welcome aboard Jill! I'm happy to have you on our side.

some people have way too much confidence in me

i'm IN

!

i feel so much pressure

like when someone needy gives you a really awesome compliment

and you can't make the return.

but in the infamous words of my sixteen year old friend Sam to his first girlfriend, as he leaned in for his first kiss--

i'm scared

but i'm ready.

here is a poem i wrote

at least i think i wrote it.

it was scribbled in my notebook and it's to lame to be anyone else's.

he slipped the book

gingerly open

As Much As I Wish It Were Possible

Man cannot live alone on Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and string cheese.

Wishful Thinking

It's a dangerous thing and I suggest it be avoided at all costs. It can only lead to heartache, sorrow, and suffering. Unless of course it concerns the fact that you think men and women should still curtsy and bow when greeting one another. I don't see the harm in that.

Confessions of a Laughaholic

Cackle. Laugh. Cynical laugh. Cackle. Giggle. Giggle. Snicker.

A Little Inception, A Little Logic

How are the films Batman Begins and Inception linked? It's more than the fact the two share the same director. Upon dissolving the family empire, Mr. Fischer follows his life long dream to become a psychiatrist. He changes his name to avoid recognition of his past life and - after completing his studies - moves to Gotham City where eventually he loses track of reality (as a result of his inception and all that "Limbo" mumbo jumbo), becoming the Scarecrow in the process. The movie makes so much sense now!

What Will Hollywood Think Of (Or Rip Off) Next

So what happens exactly when you leave the guidance you get from Fidelity and venture away from that little green line? You get a blockbuster hit of course! Ladies and gentlemen! May I present to you "The Adjustment Bureau!"

Might I suggest you stay on that line if you're a Fidelity customer. It just doesn't seem worth the trouble to wander off. Just ask Matt Damon.

Nilbog

Of course it would be the locale for the Kingdom of the Goblins! How could I have over looked the obvious? At least now I know where to go when I'm in the market for some curdled milk.

Some Changes Are About to Go Down

Change is good. Harold Wilson once said, "He who rejects change is the architect of decay. The only human institution which rejects progress is the cemetery." The point I'm trying to make is that I've been slacking on my blog and it is time I do something about it. So I have decided to add an additional author to my blog upon his request and know that he will bring a lot of wiser - and more random - thoughts than I could ever conjure up. I just hope he doesn't make me look too bad. Welcome aboard Nic!

New Karate Kid

Where is the "Karate?" If you're going to make a cheap rip-off of an 80's classic and use the same name, at least have sense to base the story in Japan or something where Karate is prevalent. I think a more appropriate name would be Kung-Fu Kid.

Will I Ever Find The One Who Deserves This?

"You're beautiful. You're confusing. You're illogical. You're amazing. I've seen the world and it's overrated. Until you're everything, I have nothing but empty space."

Lifehouse

Record Shopping

Barry Manilow!? No offense to his fans, but I thought I was getting the Carpenters. I can't help but feel just a little cheated. There's 25 cents down the drain.

What Matt Would Say If Matt Truly Wrote This Post

As the wise Nick Swardson says... "When you are little, grown-ups tell you you can be anything you want to be when you get older. They are liars! You can't be a ninja!"

When one contemplates the let down felt by not being able to be the thing he/she wants to be, do the tears fall freely?

Senior Design

It will be the death of me. Lesson that should be learned from all this, but I'm sure it won't: procrastination sucks.

Engineering Summed Up in 5 Words or Less

Man vs. Mother Nature.

Lazy Day Afternoon

Look at him. All smug and cozy on top of his pagoda sipping tea with his monkey friend. That darn fox.

Buying New Toothbrushes

I used to be all about getting the fanciest looking, priciest toothbrushes on the market. Now when it comes to selecting a toothbrush, I don't care. Give me the most simple one you can find.

Oh That I Were A Girl

Then I would never have to worry about whether that girl I think is cute felt the same way or not. Unsound logic? Some would argue yes.

Should I Be Worried?

It would appear that Chester the Molester found his way into my soil mechanics notes. I should really start paying more attention to what is going on in class and less time falling asleep.

Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go

Did George Michael enjoy this butt slap a little too much? Oh Andrew Ridgeley, what have you done? What may have been just another innocent "good game" to you... Well I think we all know how this story ends.

Name Change

With great power comes great responsibility. Oh... And I dropped the name on the title of my blog because I felt like it.

Celebrating 100 Posts!

The moment you have all been waiting for. I'm about to offer you all advice that will answer any and all questions you have ever had or will have in this life. I promised it would be epic so here goes...

42!

Okay, so that wasn't very original, but what I have to say from here on out I hope is. I have always considered myself very fortunate - and blessed might I add - to have met and associated with some pretty awesome people over my lifetime.

Let me begin by thanking my two faithful blog followers. Tracee, I'm sorry I can be a bit awkward at times, but I'm glad we are still friends. Underneath your self-assertive and sometimes impudent and cynical personality, there is a person who genuinely cares about others and their well being. I wish you the best in this life and encourage you not to give up on your dreams. You will make an awesome el-ed teacher and awesome mother. Justin is one lucky dude, so never forget to remind him of that.

Jill! I'm pretty sure you are the epitome of cool and just downright awesome. I honestly wonder why someone with your coolness stats even bothers to keep in touch with someone such as myself. I am very lucky indeed. I'm glad we had a chance to hang when you came down to SLC. I'm legitimately sorry about ruining our awesome silhouette picture with the random package of oreo cookies sitting on the driveway. Perhaps you could photoshop those out. And although I was seriously hoping to read a poem every day from you this month, I think I'll find a place in my heart to forgive you. Don't stop writing those poems (or making those movies for that matter; and taking awesome pictures), because if they are as good as the stuff you post on your blog, it would be shame to waste such talents.

As for everyone else. Thanks Colter, Troy, Dan, and Wes for getting me through the engineering program and leaving an occasional comment every now and then. Thank you Ga-Chan for your comment. I don't know whether you'll read this or not, but your comments are always welcome here. I will continue to stop by your blog on occasion to see whether you have updated anything or not. Thank you Unhappy Hipster (and Jill for introducing me to Unhappy Hipster) for giving me something new to read every day. I would like to thank my totally awesome family and am so glad we are all so close. And finally, thank you everyone else who I have failed to mention in this blog. There are just too many people out there who make me one of the luckiest persons to be alive. Sandimas High School football rules!

Countdown to 100 Posts

Almost there. Next one in fact. It'll blow minds!!! Just a goof. I don't know what it will be about yet.

Countdown to 100 Posts

Just two more.

Countdown to 100 Posts

Three more to go.

The Birds

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be in Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds? Try walking down Old Main Hill after the annual Easter Egg Hunt. Just be careful not to get your eyes pecked out by the seagulls.

Champions League

The only tournament I know of where a team can celebrate a 3-2 loss.

I'm An Addict!

Latest Vinyl Purchases... (I need to stop. Typical of what an addict would say.)

1. Brand New - The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me
2. Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
3. Manchester Orchestra - Like a Virgin Losing a Child

Pre-Warped Tour 2010 Thoughts

I think this could be the best Warped Tour in years. My thoughts from what I've seen and gathered so far:

1. I've got to hand it to Motion City Soundtrack. A lot of bands who move to major labels would be above the tour. But they are going to stick it out and play a few dates. Cool beans.

2. I think the driving force behind my initial statement is that Face to Face will be playing the entire tour. That's right... Face to Face! I heard from someone once that their live performances were so good, that you'd crap in your pants just to see them again. Whether they can guster up the same muster is yet to be determined, but I wouldn't mind seeing this one.

This Is A Test

I see you...

Chase This Light With Me

It's a well known fact that Jimmy Eat World's albums Clarity, Bleed American and Futures are arguably their best work to date. So why is it that every time I crave a little Jimmy, I go to Chase This Light? It's alright, but not nearly as good as the three aforementioned titles. I think it's the stellar first track that lures me in, and a solid final three tracks that keeps me listening.

Iggy's Commercial

I don't understand it. Bunny Lamore? Why would anyone take someone who uses a stripper pseudonym seriously? Sorry Iggy's... Looks like it's Chile's tonight.

Might As Well Be Forgotten Lore

I never seem to hear much about these great (or not so great) 80's movies anymore.

Howard The Duck

Little Monsters

Mannequin

The Great Outdoors

Earnest Goes To Camp

Kickboxer

Ewoks: The Battle For Endor

Can't Think Of A Good Title

No one should ever be proud to admit that they have writer's cramp from a derivation.

My Head...

It feels like it is going to explode!

Me Like Morbid, Metaphorical Songs About Love?

If by saying that me enjoying the following song means yes... Then I guess I doooooooo.

"The last time that I saw you, August of '99, I should have had my hammer and a few rusty spikes; to nail you on a wall and use bottles to catch your blood. Display you for the neighbors so they know your time had come. And I'd drink your blood. Fill it dripping down my throat and head for my heart."

Saves the Day

Possibly The Worst Idea Ever

The repeating - and often annoying - dvd menu. I can't even recall how many times I have fallen asleep while watching a movie and have woken up three, possibly four hours later to some annoying song that is stuck in what seems like an endless cycle, and yet I find it difficult to reach for the remote to turn the stupid thing off. It can be very frustrating at times.

Match Burning 101

As I was lighting some matches today, I was curious to discover what happens when a match burns backwards. Using a match to light the end of another, I realized it wasn't going to start burning so easily. Losing all patience, I decided to just turn it around and light it like normal. It was at this point that I burned the tip of my finger, for it never occurred to me (until my finger was burnt) that the other side - although I never got it to start on fire - was still hot.

Math Joke

I thought this poster was hilarious up until the fine print. All of a sudden it is not so funny anymore now is it?

Smells That I Happen To Enjoy

Skunks. Reminiscent of my childhood and those summer nights I would take walks with my dad through the fields across the street.

Sulfur. Reminds me of Yellowstone National Park. I could live there.

Band-Aids. No good reason really. I just like the way they smell.

Politics: The Way I See It

A group of men and women belonging to one of two parties who do nothing more than fight and undermine one another to fulfill their parties agenda and/or advance their personal ideals; and who fail to represent the very people that got them there in the first place. Their duty should be to society right? I feel that this piece is missing from the equation.

Pillow Talk

One of the greatest things I could have ever done was patch the holes in my pillow with some black gorilla tape.

Should We Be Thanking The Dresden Dolls For This One? Me Thinks Not

I'm open to interpretation, because I have a hard time fathoming what it all means.

"Daddy please, hear this song that I sing.
In your heart there's a spark that just screams,
For a lover to bring a child to your chest,
That could lay as you sleep and love all you have left,
Like your boy used to be, long ago,
Wrapped in sheets warm and wet.

Blister please, with those wings in your spine.
Love to be with a brother of mine.
How he'd love to find your tongue in his teeth,
In a struggle to find secret songs that you keep,
Wrapped in boxes so tight, sounding only at night as you sleep.

And in my dreams you're alive and you're crying,
As your mouth moves in mine, soft and sweet.
Rings of flowers round your eyes and I love you,
For the rest of your life (when you're ready).

Brother see, we are one in the same.
And you left with your head filled with flames,
And you watched as your brains fell out through your teeth.
Push the pieces in place.
Make your smile sweet to see.
Don't you take this away.
I'm still wanting my face on your cheek.

And when we break we'll wait for our miracle.
God is a place where some holy spectacle lies.
And when we break we'll wait for our miracle.
God is a place you will wait for the rest of your life.

Two-headed boy, she is all you could need.
She will feed you tomatoes and radio wires,
And retire to sheets safe and clean,
But don't hate her when she gets up to leave."

Neutral Milk Hotel

Nerd Alert!

I'm addicted to Final Fantasy XIII.

Disappointing NCAA Tournament Teams

1. Kansas

Dear Squirel Who Lives in the Fourth Tree by the Third Lampost from the Bottom of the Hill: Squeakqual

It would appear you are back. What led me to this conclusion? Maybe it's the fact that I saw you prancing around Old Main gathering nuts. Back and forth, back and forth over the walk. Ready to pounce on any unsuspecting victim who got in your path. Oh how I wanted to kick over your pile of nuts.

Everything on the Menu has Fish

Dolphins never sleep because they rest one half of their brain at a time and I eat tuna right out of the can.

Blog Worthy?

Fact: A cow yields 3% more milk if it listens to Simon and Garfunkel. I believe I heard this little tidbit of information on Animal Planet once.

What is the Best Movie to Watch While Going to Sleep?

Easy! Lord of Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. I'm not suggesting that it is boring, I'm simply saying it is a good movie to fall asleep to.

Sleep Well

Sleep well tonight.

And Suddenly It All Became So Clear

I finally understand why Donnie Darko had to die. Or at least I think I do. Great movie.

My 70th Post

If a stalk of wheat chews on another piece of wheat, does that make it a cannibal?

Poor Mr. Snowman 2

You Spin Me Right Round Baby Right Round

So that I don't forget what type of replacement record needle I spent a long time looking for... I will be needing a 700-D7.

Death Cab for Zooey

Rumor has it that Ben Gibbard is now dating Zooey Deschanel. If this be the case, I really think that the two of them should consider re-doing The Postal Service's "Nothing Better."

Poor Mr. Snowman

Today while on campus, I saw something quite out of the ordinary. Somebody had built a snowman around a tree as to make it look like it had been impaled. I don't know how much longer he'll make it (it has pierced his snowman heart after all); perhaps I should take a picture before he melts. I mean, how often does one see a snowman who has been skewered by a tree right?

Saying I'd Look Like Wolfman Would Be Giving Myself Too Much Credit

I think if I were to grow out my facial hair, I would look more or less like that one dude from the Burbs. Hans is his name I believe. You know who I'm talking about.

Expecting Less Than a Miracle

No fail... Every time I cook up a batch of Macaroni and Cheese, it always tastes terrible.

A Lesson From Rambo

When you are stranded in a vast jungle and fleeing from the enemy with nothing but a claymore, you can always count on one thing for sure: the conveniently placed nuclear missile. Simply attach the claymore to the missile and you have the ultimate killing machine. It's that easy.

What I Do With My Time When I Should Be Doing Other Things

I recently joined a website that just launched called The Music, The Message. It's kind of neat because it allows users to come together and discuss music, submit reviews, etc. I recently submitted my first editorial entitled, "Life's All About Taking The Bad With The Good." If anyone is curious to see what it is all about, they are welcome to slip on over and check it out.

Falling Stars

If you ever catch a falling star, I suggest you heed the words of Perry Como and stick it in your pocket and save it for a rainy day. Because if you decide to eat it a flaming ball of gas may just burst from your chest where your heart once used to be.

Alice in Wonder WHAT!?

No disrespect to Johnny Depp, but I think I'll stick with the 1985 classic version that comes complete with "Through the Looking Glass."

To a New Year

I hope everyone who reads this had a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year. May this year be even better than the last.

Bring Back Vinyl

As my vinyl collection continues to grow, I would like to know just one thing: Will Mae ever press The Everglow? I would also like to express my disappointment in the fact that Brandnew has decided to delay their release of The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me. On a brighter note, Freelance Whales has announced the release of Weathervanes in March. That should make an excellent addition to my collection.
