The Power of the Cowbell

When I really thought about it and fully analyzed it, I could come to no other conclusion than the fact that it was the cowbell–and ONLY the cowbell–that made me like this song.

If your life is in your phone, you, my friend, are a LOSER.

Charlie Sheen Rant on Alex Jones Show–Dude is in Need of Some Humble Pie

diligentguy — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 17:51:04 +0000

I still can’t quite believe what I just heard on the Alex Jones show.

Charlie Sheen’s rant has left me speechless…not because it was so awesome, but because it was so…er…useless.

My thoughts?

YAWN.

Okay, Charlie, we get it–you’re the (in a conglomeration of your own words) smoking hot rolling out magic fireball napalm Vatican assassin ninja warrior that will love violently and hate violently and violently murder any opposition because you’re on top and basically thinking that everyone who doesn’t live the life you do is a troll and a loser.

Cool.

Now…remind me again, why does any of this matter?

Charlie has evidently gotten slightly full of himself, and I was embarrassed for Alex Jones because I could tell that Alex thought Charlie was getting a little too arrogant, and Alex even used the phrase “Don’t tempt the fates”. Alex repetitively said that Charlie was “on fire” and all those other euphemisms that mean “You’re pushing it a little too much, bro…you really ain’t all that.”

I have no problem with Sheen, or Jones, or the 9/11 Truth Movement, or anything else, but this whole thing struck me as a little self-important. And referring to “Major League” and “Apocalypse Now” as if they were the best films ever made is REALLY a stretch.

So now “Three and a Half Men” has been cancelled. Da horror.

The movie “Mamma Mia” is basically an Abba marathon from hell.

SAG Awards: An Epiphany

I think it’s about time for me to join the Screen Actors Guild. Now I don’t really have a burning desire to be a screen actor or anything, but the older I get, the more important it becomes for me to be a part of a guild of some kind.

C-SPAN Addiction

I’m becoming a C-SPAN addict, somewhat against my will. It’s boring and yet fascinating all at the same time. I don’t even get it.

Caillou is a Wuss

Anybody else feel this way?

I have two young daughters and they both could kick Caillou’s butt.

He’s so whiny and wimpy–I just can’t stand it.

Scooby-Doo was a Great Dane.

This is truly a revelation to me.
