| Just a simple holiday greeting to everyone. I'd tell you more, but I'm completely tired from working throughout the holiday season. I didn't have time to draw something holiday related so here's a photo instead:

| Well, it started with a rough and hectic morning at work. (I won't go into details about that)
But, things are looking up. Dad made me breakfast and I'm almost recovered from this head cold I've had since Sunday. My sinuses are somewhat clear.
Later today I'll be with my UPS driver for about 4 to 5 hours; depending on how many stops we got. Then at 7 PM I have to be at my church's trustee meeting. It's gonna be hard staying awake through that tonight; especially after working all day.
Tomorrow night, I was going to have some of my friends over my house; but there's a snow storm that's supposed here that day.
So here's what I decided: If the weather is too rough, I'll reschedule the party until the day after Christmas next Saturday. | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
| Just out of curiosity, I took this test to see what comes up.

| Since FA is still down, I'm gonna post my latest sketch here:
It's peak season at UPS. Our busiest time of the year. Aside from working in the sort aisle early in the morning, I'm also a driver helper. For those of you in the South Jersey; if you see a guy running frantically back and forth from a truck to a house, that's me. Dealing with dogs is one of the many perils we face on the job. This funny sketch is based on what happens sometimes. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| Have you ever seem to notice that no one cares about Thanksgiving anymore? It's becoming more of a forgotten holiday. As soon as Halloween is over, everyone's mind is set on Christmas (mostly on Nov. 1st at 12:01 AM.) Back in my day (the mid 1980s) no one thought about Christmas until after Thanksgiving; but thanks to modern commercialism Christmas is coming earlier and earlier every year. I mean what's wrong with Thanksgiving? You eat, you watch football, and you fall asleep. That's what you're supposed to do on a holiday!
You know what the problem is? It's the media. When was the last time there was good movie or TV special that took place on Thanksgiving? Anyone can name at least 100 movies about Christmas, but I can name at least 3 movies about Thanksgiving. Christmas has completely dominated the industry.
Well today, my friends, I'm going to give Thanksgiving the recognition it deserves. Here's a list of some of my favorite Thanksgiving themed TV episodes and movies:
Garfield's Thanksgiving: If there's anyone who appreciates eating too much on Thanksgiving it's Garfield.
A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving: Nothing brings friends together like popcorn and toast.
3rd Rock From the Sun: My favorite episode's is when the aliens spend their first Thanksgiving together.
Everybody Loves Raymond: The one sitcom that takes a hilarious look at spending time with family; which is something we ALL dread. Of all the Thanksgiving episodes my favorite one is when Marie makes a tofu turkey.
The Cosby Show: From this sitcom, my favorite episode is from the 7th season. When the whole family gets together, Cliff keeps going out in the stormy weather to buy groceries.
And now for the movies -
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (1987): A true comedy classic. Steve Martin and John Candy were the funniest duo in a road movie ever!
Dutch (1991): Ed O' Neil (the guy from Married With Children) plays a guy who agrees to drive his girlfriend's son home for Thanksgiving. Typical road movie.
Home For The Holidays (1995): Holly Hunter plays a woman who just lost her job, her daughter's planning on sleeping with her boyfriend, and has to spend Thanksgiving with her eccentric family. An amusing comedy-drama; definitely worth a look.
If you ever get a chance to watch any of these movies and specials, take time to appreciate them.
Well, have a happy Thanksgiving everybody! Now if you'll excuse me; *sighs* I gotta spend time with my family. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Friday night: Hung out with Scot and his friends.
Saturday: Went to the Delaware Furbowl. Big thanks to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) kitt3ns . I had an awesome time; despite the weather. Around 6PM I was driving south on I-95 when it rained heavily. I mean it poured down. I couldn't see what was in front of me, traffic was almost at a stand still, and I avoided an accident or two. At least my car survived the trip there and back; having a bad transmission and all. I met a lot of new people there. We all had dinner at the Charcoal Pit in Wilmington. Then we went bowling. I've never seen anyone bowl in fursuit before; but it sure was fun!
Sunday: There was a luncheon at church today. After that I sat through a LONG meeting. Now I'm home and I'm tired.
Catch everyone later! | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |

| It's been well over a month since I've posted anything here. I've been busy trying to find a second job. So far all of my applications have been rejected. I'm trying not to let it bother me, but it has.
There is some good news. With the holidays coming up, I can be a driver helper just like I did last year. At least I'll have some extra money for November and December. Maybe I'll have better luck getting a second job in January.
Oh, before I forget; today's my sister's 22nd birthday. Happy Birthday, sis! | | comments: Leave a comment |
| It was 40 years ago today when Scooby Doo, Where Are You? made its Saturday Morning debut. Now here's some clips from one of my favorite episodes:

| At least it ended on a good note. Saturday night I watched two of my favorite movies; Tiny Toons How I Spent My Vacation and Bad Boys 2. Yesterday wastonyringtail 's BBQ. I had an awesome time. I'd show you pictures, but my camera's screwed up.
Tomorrow it's back to business. The hunt for a second job continues. With everyone going back to school this week, maybe I'll have a better chance of getting hired. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Just for fun here are the lists of some of my favorite and not so favorite movies of all time. I had a rough time coming up with these lists because I had lots of films to chose from. Anyway, here they are. Enjoy and feel free to comment:
My Top 10 Favorite Movies of All Time
10. Fargo (1996) One of my favorite films from the Coen Brothers.
9. What About Bob? (1991) Bill Murray plays a patient who visits his psychiatrist and his family on vacation. Totally Hilarious!
8. It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963) One of my all time favorite classic comedies. If you've never heard of any of the actors in this movie, ask your parents; they'll know.
7. Shaun of The Dead (2004) Possibly the best zombie comedy ever made.
6. Bringing Out The Dead (1999) My favorite Nicolas Cage movie. Not everyone likes Nicolas Cage, but I do. So there! Anyway, he plays a NYC Paramedic on the brink of insanity. It's directed by Martin Scorsese, so you know it's good!
5. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989) Funniest holiday movie ever! No disrespect to A Christmas Story; it's also very funny.
4. Ghostbusters (1984) A Supernatural Comedy Classic. Need I say more?
3. Mystery Men (1999) The most underrated superhero movie ever. It's got a great cast, some cool action scenes, and most of all it's funny. Too bad it bombed in theaters; but it least it has its cult status.
2. Office Space (1999) There aren't enough words to describe just how funny this movie is.
1. Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) Everything about this movie is awesome! The story, the cast, the characters, the animation. This is the best movie ever! Period!
My Top 10 Favorite Animated Movies Of All Time
10. Bolt (2008) In the words of Rhino the Hamster, "This is Awesome!"
9. Hey There, It's Yogi Bear (1964) This is the first Hanna-Barbara movie to be released theatrically. If you miss the days when Cartoon Network used to show those old Hanna-Barbara movies, watch this one. It's on DVD now.
8. Spirited Away (2003) The work of Hayao Miyazaki is too awesome for words.
7. Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears A Who! (2008) I don't care what anyone says; I love this movie! So what if it's not accurate to the book; it's still funny!
6. Balto (1995) A great animated adventure loosely based on a true story.
5. Wakko's Wish (1999) This direct-to-video feature is a bit more dramatic than the typical Animaniacs cartoon; but as a fan I still like it. My wish is that Warner Bros. would release it on DVD.
4. Over The Hedge (2006) A very satirical look at suburban life through the eyes of forest creatures. One of the funniest films I've ever seen!
3. Oliver and Company (1988) My all time favorite Disney film. Of all the animated musicals, this one has songs I can stand.
2. All Dogs Go To Heaven (1989) Everyone has their favorite Don Bluth movie. This is mine.
1. Tiny Toon Adventures - How I Spent My Vacation (1992) Yet another film Warner Bros. that needs a DVD release.
My Top 10 Worst Movies I've Ever Seen
10. Josh and S.A.M. (1993) Two brothers run away from home by stealing a car. Sounds like a fun idea for a comedy, but it's not funny at all. There's no humor in it at all. It's too dramatic.
9. Norbit (2007) Remember when Eddie Murphy was funny? This is not one of those times.
8. Final Fantasy - The Spirits Within (2001) How can a movie based on a video game where everyone dies can be so boring and depressing?
7. Last Action Hero (1993) It took every action movie cliche` and turned them into completely unfunny situations. This had ruined action movies for me for a while.
6. Batman and Robin (1997) Do I have to explain this one?
5. Super Mario Bros. (1993) This is why we need separation of Hollywood and the gaming industry.
4. Epic Movie (2007) More like Epic Fail! LOL! After seeing this one, I've grown sick and tired of spoof movies.
3. Re-Animated (2006) Everything about this Cartoon Network original move is cheap. The acting, the animation, the dialogue, the so-called jokes.
2. Freddy Got Fingered (2001) As much as I like Tom Green, this was not his best work. It's too crude, too gross, and it's just not funny.
1. Popeye, Inspector Gadget, Inspector Gadget 2, Dudley Do-Right, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Scooby Doo, Scooby Doo 2, Garfield, Fat Albert, Underdog. It's a 10-way tie! As you can tell, I absolutely HATE live action movies based on cartoons!
My Top 10 Movies That I Like...But Everyone Else Hates
10. Larger Than Life (1996) Bill Murray plays a motivational speaker who travels with an elephant cross country. Critics hated it, but I like it.
9. Flushed Away (2006) It's an okay movie. It's too bad Dreamworks and Aardman broke up after that.
8. Snakes On A Plane (2006) It would've been better if all that internet hype didn't kill it.
7. Bad Boys 2 (2003) A little overboard with the violence, but I still love this movie!
6. Cloverfield (2008) I'm not ashamed to admit that I like this monster movie; although that subway scene freaked me out a little.
5. Transformers (2007) I think people just hate Michael Bay.
4. Twister (1996) If this movie bothers you that much, than don't pay attention to the sub plot involving Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt. Just watch the tornadoes destroy things.
3. Ghostbusters 2 (1989) Everyone says this sequel is bad, but they never explain why. In any case, I still like it.
2. Armageddon (1998) The same rule applies to Twister. Ignore the Ben Affleck - Liv Tyler sub plot. Just watch the action scenes.
1. Godzilla (1998) I know...I know. Look, you have your favorite Godzilla movie and I have mine.

| I don't know all the details, but all I know is Dad's been pissed off since this morning, he's currently stuck in traffic somewhere in North Jersey, and Mom said he needs to talk to him when he gets back.
Something tells me I shouldn't be home when Dad gets comes back. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Last night my sister went back up to college. Her boyfriend drove her back. The family won't be back from Florida until tomorrow afternoon. So now it's just me and the two cats in the house.
Today is my last chance of doing whatever I want and making my own decisions because after tomorrow...*sighs*...it's all over. I'm never gonna experience this again until I move out. Which, according to my financial situation, won't be for a very long time. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| I forgot to post this the other day.
Yesterday was my parents 30th Wedding Anniversary. It's hard to believe my mom and dad have been married for 30 years. Most marriages these days don't last that long. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| ...and I don't mind that.
Actually me and my sister have had the house to ourselves since Friday. The family will be back next weekend.
Not much has happened since my last post. I'm still searching for a second job. With any luck I'll hear from somebody this week. Or maybe I'll get hired by September since many of the people who review applications are on vacation this time of year.
Oh, something else did happen this week. My sister finally got an approved loan so she can go back to college this year. She goes back this Wednesday.
If anything else is going, I'll let you guys know. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| In Sports News: Micheal Vick signed a 2-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles.
I am so torn by this; as both an Eagles fan and a lover of animals.
Okay, let's get this outta the way. What Michael Vick did was wrong, it was immoral, and it was cruel. There was no excuse for what he did to those dogs.
However; people do deserve second chances. Vick is known for being an exceptional quarterback. After he served his time, he wanted to come back to the NFL. If he can still play the way he did when he was with Atlanta, he might actually help this team. If there's any football team who needs help it's this one. Earlier this year we lost Brian Dawkins (one of the best defensive man) to Denver and just recently the team's defensive coordinator Jim Johnson passed away.
So...I don't know...I guess we'll have to wait until the season starts to see what happens. | | comments: Leave a comment |

First and most importantly I would give at least half of it to my family. Hopefully they can finally get out of debt.
Then I would give some to my friends; they can use it as well.
I hate to sound greedy, but maybe my friends and family will let me keep some for being so generous. I could use that money as well. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Why is it when you get interviewed for a job they always tell you that they'll call you but they never do?! It's like being stood up for a date. (Ironic isn't it?)
This is really starting to aggravate me! I wish someone would hire me soon! | | comments: Leave a comment |

I love "The Breakfast Club" as well as "Ferris Bueller's Day Off". Hughes also wrote, produced, and directed "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles".
