Larry

A few months ago I watched Jeffrey Ross' Comedy Central special. While I think he's funny, Larry stole the show. Jeffrey asked for someone to come up from the audience to play piano while he read poetry. This is what happened.

Kung Fu Robots

This movie was huge when I was a kid. I recently watched it again, and while it's no where near as great as I thought it was when I was nine, you can't really argue with Kung Fu Robots.

Why is it...

Why is it that when I walk up an escalator I get no where near as winded as I do when I walk up a flight of stairs. I understand that I'm moving up the incline faster on the escalator so I'm not exerting as much energy. I'm talking about walking up an escalator that's twice as long as a flight of stairs. I don't get it.

It's not important. I just started thinking about it as I almost fooled myself into thinking I was getting in better shape.

Things I Don't Care About Today

  • The new OJ Simpson trial ( or the old one for that matter )
  • Sarah Palin or any of her children
  • John McCain or any of his wives or houses
  • Barack Obama or what he's going to "change"
  • Any reason for bailing out a multi-billion corporation by the US government
  • Explanations for why gas prices go up at the pump when they go down on Wall St.
