All in all I'd have to say it's been a good year.

Work's been good and the blog has had it's biggest year yet! With a record number of over 600 posts, I doubt I'll be able to pull anything like this off ever again! Plus traffic on the blog is at an all time high!

Wow.

Also for some unexplained reason people keep subscribing to my YouTube posts even though I rarely make them anymore. (maybe that's something to work on for next year)

Anyway, I hope you all have an excellent final day of 2011!!

My Xmas haul

So what'd all I get this year? Well besides the regular clothes I got:

1) Ewoks cartoon on DVD
2) Crochet Set
3) Scream 4
4) A terrible cold

Besides the last one, it was a good Xmas overall. Now if I can just kick this blasted cold I'll be having an awesome holidays. (an Auburn win over Virginia this week would be nice too)

Twas the Night before Christmas
and all through the room
the kitchen was messy
so I picked up a broom
then in the corner what did I discover?
it seemed like a moron who looked like my brother

Caleb? I said, "What are you doing here?"
He was wearing pink undies, which looked awful queer
"Oh man" he replied as he was scratching his head
"Santa robbed me blind and left me for dead!
He broke in our house and was stealing our stuff
and when I saw him I'd had quite enough!"

So I tried to tackle him like I did in the game!"
(He meant the Santa Bowl which was extremely lame)
"But he lifted his fist and hit me so fast
I fell to the floor and busted my ass
Then he looked at me with a smile and said
I think I'll just rob this kid instead!

So he took all my clothes and he took all my cash
and before I could yell, he was gone in a flash!"
I looked at my brother with moderate doubt
then knew what happened, I figured it out.
"Wait a minute" I said, "You're jobless and broke
You don't have any money, this is some kind of joke!

You sold your clothes to buy Christmas presents
now you have nothing and look like a peasant!"
"You're right" Caleb said, looking so sad,
"Can you give me a lift back home to Dad's?"
I starred at Caleb and asked "How's your health"
He said "Very good", so I made him walk home himself.

Happy X-mas Eve everyone!

Damage control

Ok, I made the mistake of showing Megan old photos of me tonight and now they're already on Facebook. (I hate social media)

So let me explain this picture before anyone gets any ideas...

You see... this is what I really am. Yep. You should have known it this whole time. Wings and all... I appear on your shoulder and give you good advice when you can't make up your mind.

Ok seriously, this was a Holloween costume I had a few years back. I even made a video (posted on the blog earlier this year) about it too.

Ok, that's all!

TV Show countdown

Star Wars: The Clone Wars

This season...the shows are a little better (which isn't saying much considering last season) but it has been an improvement. Still, this show has gone on 2 seasons too many and is starting to wear thin.

It has Star Wars in the title so of course I'm going to watch it but I won't miss it when they take it off the air that's for sure.




Dexter

By now you should know this is my favorite show. Season 6 didn't disappoint either. This is still one of the best shows out there in my opinion! This season they raised the stakes in the finale this past Sunday and came away with another amazing season!




Walking Dead

If you aren't watching this, you're missing one of the best shows on TV. I thought this show would be enjoyable, but I never imagined it would rival Dexter in being my favorite show?!

Holy Crow! I've read the comics but never thought it would be just as good!! What makes it better is that it doesn't necessarily follow the comic books so everyone episode differs. It's just GOOD.

Survivor Review

Wow.

So this is how it ends. Sophia wins?! Possibly the lamest player in Survivor history (2nd only to Versepia from Survivor: Marquesas)

Face it folks, she was hardly ever shown on camera (obviously was not interesting to the producers) and it's the first time in history I've ever seen Jeff Probst spend only 1 minute on the winner!!

If you saw the live show you know what I mean. He knew Sophia was boring to the viewers as well. She did no strategic moves in the game and played the tole of your basic "coat tail rider" that was it.

But what about next season? 2 tribes, living as one but competing against themselves? Gotta admit, I kinda like it.

But for now I'll have to sit back and wait till February to find out how it goes!

My new look

For folks who don't see me every day, this is my new look, taken for a practical joke we did for work. (long story)

Anyway, it's kind of a slow weekend. Nothing really much to post about and I had this pic and thought, "Eh, why not!"

X-mas Shopping

Got all my shopping done for the year. This has to be a record for me. I'm never done this early. But this year all the presents came from Amazon. Quick and easy! Now all I have to do is sit back and let the packages come to me!

Ahhh... X-mas shopping made easy, now THAT'S CHRISTMAS!!

Star Wars vs Star Trek

So if you haven't heard Carrie Fisher and William Shatner have been been "hee-hawing" each other about which sci-fi genre is the best. I'm sure this battle has waged on for years but honestly I've never talked about it much to anyone, but I thought today I could put in my 2 cents.

Of course I love Star Wars the most, but I do enjoy Star Trek as well. If we combined it on paper I actually think it's pretty even...

1) Best TV series. We have Clone Wars which sadly, makes Star Trek Voyager look genius in comparison! (point Trek)

2) Original movies. Star Wars, Empire and Jedi going up against movies like Star Trek 1,3 & 5... hands down Wars gets a point!

3) Newest movies. I loved the new Star Trek film (who didn't) putting it up against the Prequels (or Clone Wars the movie) Trekkies gain another point.

4) Lead Actors. Shatner vs Hamill. I love you Mark but c'mon! It's Shatner we're talking about here!

5) Leading Actress. Carrie Fisher in a metal bikini vs.... I'm sorry where were we? I just lost my train of thought. (point Wars)

We could go on and on, but the point that hits home to me the most is continuity. Star Wars has it. From their books to their comics, the movies and that step above the Holiday Special called Clone Wars, Star Wars has it.

Star Trek continuity? Forget it. They don't even have it in their tv to movie series, not in their books either. It's like someone just kept writing "what if" stories and Trekkies didn't care.

I hate Lucas, but his death grip he has over the story has been impressive. Knowing that some stories get cut and even authors get booted off a project *cough cough Karen Traviss* Lucas has kept the story line pretty linear and complete.

I also love Star Wars because it doesn't deal with Time Travel like Star Trek does. How many times have they tirelessly used the same "go back in time" story line in their books, movie and series? Too many to number.

Star Wars doesn't deal with all that mess and that's what makes it better. Shatner said in a YouTube video to Fisher recently that Star Wars only had special effects but Trek had the story. For the prequels he'd be right, but overall well... I love you Mr Shatner but at least our stories have continuity.

C-ya tomorrow folks!

Bye Gus!

Well, it finally happened. We lost Gus Malzahn.....TO ARKANSAS STATE!?!?

This is the man who could have just about any Head Coach job in the nation and he's going to the Sun Belt? THE SUN BELT!!!

They even reported that he'll be the highest paid Sun Belt coach just beating out Willie Taggart's $40,000 salary by $62 bucks!!

Ok, I kid there, but Arkansas State????

I know he's from the area and I know he's always wanted to go back. Arkansas' fans should be happy because they now know who they will have as their next head coach after Petrino leaves.

Now here's the kicker. That means Gus will actually be in Monroe next year when they play the Warhawks. This will be the equivalent of watching Cam Newton retiring to teach preschooler's how to color.

I'm at a loss for words here. But at least he's happy and NO ONE will criticize his game play ever again!

Good luck in oblivion Gus!
