No Friends, Nothing to Live For

There’s something about this video that I can totally identify with. Ha ha ha … enjoy.

And Your Whispering Eye

9 Nov

Role Models is far from a role model for what a great comedy should be. It has real potential — Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott are set up as big brothers to a nerd (played by McLovin himself, Christopher Mintz-Plasse) and a little kid with a big mouth (Bobb’e J. Thompson) — but it’s just not as funny as it probably should have been. Thompson is the best reason to see the movie. Otherwise, wait for it to show up on cable. I’m giving Role Models a B–.

Before I Move On …

6 Nov

It’s hard to be so wrapped up and engaged in the election process and then just drop it simply because we now have a winner. So here are what I hope will be my last thoughts (and some other things) before I get back to writing about me and my own life again. Continue reading

It’s Only Been Six Months?

5 Nov

It’s hard to believe it’s only been six months since my niece Abby entered the world. It sure does feel like a lot longer, and I mean that in the best way possible. I was home in New York this past weekend to celebrate that special occasion — and another milestone for my mother with a six in it — and I took my camera with me. Click here if you’d like to see my latest batch of Abby photos. Or, click here to see pics from the entire past month (including ones from Halloween). Abby is so much fun nowadays. I love her big, round eyes and her smile, and I loved how in synch we were this weekend, since we both were battling a cold. I love everything about this little girl. Enjoy the photos.

"This Is Our Moment"

5 Nov

“This victory alone is not the change we seek,” Barack Obama told us in his acceptance speech. “It is only the chance for us to make that change.”

Congratulations again, President-Elect Obama. With this victory, with this speech, you give me such pride and make me so happy and excited. What a night this has been.

Hail to Obama

4 Nov

It’s over.

Barack Obama is our next president.

How great is that? And how cool is this image?

I don’t know who composed it, but I found it at Jeff Wells’ site.

I’m so happy right now.

Change Is Coming

4 Nov

It’s an exciting night to be a Democrat.

Hell, it’s an exciting night to be an American.

I’m so happy the election results have gone Obama’s way. It’s so damned exciting. So now, as a preamble to Obama’s acceptance speech, here’s a musical tribute to his accomplishment, courtesy of Seal.

Vote Early, Vote for Obama

4 Nov

You know I think voting is a big deal if I wake up an hour earlier than usual to do it.

I mean, I’m a guy who hits snooze for more than an hour every day before he finally gets out of bed.

But that’s exactly what I did this morning, waking up at 6:30 just so I could get to the polling place on time to cast my ballot for Barack Obama. Continue reading

It’s Almost Here

3 Nov

Just a few hours left until Election Day (and until this blog goes back to being a politics-free zone). As this whole season comes in for a landing, why not relive some of the highlights at this site, which recaps the whole thing — from Hillary’s pantsuits to the prank call. The URL is ThisFuckingElection.com (really). Even if you’re offended by the Web address, the site is worth a look. Enjoy.

Palin Gets Punked

2 Nov

Not even the Canadians like Sarah Palin. Have you heard about the prank that two Montreal DJs did to Palin? They called her and told her it was French President Nicolas Sarkozy, and she totally bought it. (Yes, this really happened.) People, this is who you want to be your vice president, or maybe even the actual president one day? Now that the election is just about a day away, it’s time to get a clue. Listen to this and just feel embarrassed — for her and for America.
