Try It - You'll Like It!

Everyody has at least a few non-serious diversions that they wish more people would check out. Maybe it's a favorite TV show, a movie, a particula and or CD, maybe a book? Things that make you say "DAMN I wish more people were in to this so it would be more popular and I would have more people to talk aout it with!"

Well here's you chance!

Make a list of 5 non-serious things that you wish more people were in to and post it in your Journal (or, alternately, just post it in the comments below). I promise to give at least one thing on your list a try and let you know what i think of it!

Now remember, I said NON-SERIOUS. Suggestions of "Exercise", "Diet", "The Lord" and the likes will be completely ignored. Here's the list of stuff I wish *you* were in to, so you have some point of reference:

(1) HBO's "Carnivale"
(2) The comic book "The Walking Dead"
(3) WB TV Series "Gilmore Girls"
(4) FOX TV Series "Space: Above & Beyond"
(5) Robert Aspirin's "Myth Adventures" series of books

Of course, if you're already in to any of the items I've listed, feel free to comment and let me know! As far as I know, there's only maye two or three people on my Friends List that dig that stuff.

It is my lot in life... it is my curse.

Why... WHY must I always click? When it says something as mind-numbingly cheesy as "Ditka doing The Grabowski Shuffle with The Grabowskis", WHY MUST I CLICK THERE?!?!?

Luckilly, it's short. An even though it's obviously from The 80's, it still stings like fresh-squeezed lemon juice on the papercuts of my soul.

Click if you dare... or if you just enjoy lemon juice 'n papercuts.

How am I not myself?

Y'know what would be fun? What would be FUN is if I were to look for a movie I haven't seen on cable yet and I find something like I (Heart) Huckabees, a movie with heavy (yet light-hearted) existential themes. Or, to the laymen out there, a movie with some pretty heavy shit in it.

And you know what would be even COOLER? It would be TOTALY AWESOME if the Maintenance guys would come over just as I hit "play" so they can finish fixing our bathtub, no doubt using many highly narcotic chemicals and compounds to do this job.

Now this part here is kinda my fault for having taken French instead of Spanish in high school. Because see, the Maintinence guy seemed to have a fairly good grasp of English but I could tell he would much rather be speaking Spanish. So on his way in he yammered something at me in a mix of languages and I said tacotacotaco right back atcha big guy, and sat down to watch my movie as he did the work.

Yes, I notices the heavy/unmistakeable scent of Permanent Marker in the air. And I did notice that it was getting stronger.

One hour later, Manuel (or Pepe, or Tim, or whatever his name was) emerged from my bathroom wearing a facial mask respirator contraption the likes of which I thought only appeared in sci-fi movies. He said burritotacoatostada to me (with a deep look of concern on his face) and left, never taking of the respirator.

10 minutes after he left, I said "Grasy-ass, me ameego!" and giggled myself silly. He's GONE! Why was I saying it just now?!?!? Silly, silly, silly!

SO! In a nutshell, I think I'm very, very stoned. I'm sure that I Heart Huckabees is a fine movie in it's own right, but when combined with chemical retardaion it FUCKING ROCKS!!! All the stuff about the universe being one big blanket, and how everything is the same thing if you deconstruct it, and the infinite mother/child loop thing? That all makes SO MUCH SENSE!!! HOW am I NOT myself? Fuckin' GENIUS!!!

And now, I'm gonna go outside and clear my head before I pass out. But I knew I had to write this entry while I'm so stoned, because anybody who knows me knows that I don't do this type of thing recreationally, and I figured it should be documented for posterity.
