So yesterday I downgraded my cable, but somehow was able to receive the cartoon network channel Boomerang. It is awesome, it is all the classic cartoons that I watched as kid both in its first airing and in rerun. However, there are some cartoons missing from the lineup. I made a list of cartoons that maybe you (and I for that matter) might have forgotten about. Some will make you say what!!!! they turned that into a cartoon....

1.) The Gary Coleman Show... hot of his successful movie The Kid With The Broken Halo comes this nearly forgettable cartoon.  




2.) The Super Globetrotters ... Who else could whoop the Washington Generals and  Super villains  all in the same day?



3.) Pro Stars... MJ, Bo, and Gretzsky. I was actually to old for this when it was on but who cares! Why did Gretzsky sound like an a-hole in this?


4.) Mister T. .... I pity the fool who doesn't coach a team of teens in gymnastics?


5.) Rambo The Force Of Freedom.... Doesn't this make you want to go get your rambo knife with the compass and blue-tip match in the handle out? I am putting on my jade Buddha necklace as we speak!


6.) Turbo Teen... I loved this show as a kid, even then I knew how ridiculous it was but whatever so is not being a teenager that turns into a car.


7.) Teen Wolf.... Little known secret about me, I was teen wolf for Halloween in 4th grade.


8.) Swamp Thing... Best use of the song Wild Thing everrrr!!!!!! 



9.) Muhammad Ali- I Am the Greatest... I will be honest I did not know this existed and I don't know how long it existed, but Wow I wish it was on!



10.) Weird AL Show... The Great Homer Simpson once said "He who is tired of Weird Al is tired of life" mmm so true....


....and last but not least.....
11.) Star Trek.... guess what nerd...I own the dvd series to this... Jealous?

"Rodney Dangerfield in his robe, you know, that's just kinda wild"

Andy Warhol once said that we will all have our 15 minutes of fame. Here is my 5 seconds of that 15 minutes. Awhile back I was featured in a tattoo book called No Regrets: The Best, Worst, & Most #$%*ing Ridiculous Tattoos Ever by Aviva Yael and P. M. Chen. I am the guy sporting the Rodney Dangerfield tattoo on my leg. Hehe.. I was stoked to be in this book but then I fond out David Cross did the forward for this book and I was extra stoked. Then one day at work I was listening to Howard Stern on Sirius satelite radio when this happened Haha That was me!! wow what a day.

teach the chilrens..

About two years ago I decided that I wanted to be a high school teacher. But before I can become a teacher I have to get certified. I am currently enrolled in education classes where I kid you not, I get grades for coloring and listening to kids in my class say things like: "this one time this kid I knew he was like all (insert uninteresting story that has nothing to do with what we are talking about here)..." So I got to thinking in class, why did I want to become a teacher? Then I thought of all the TV shows/movies that inspired me. I give you my top 5 teacher TV/movies that had an impact on me.

5.
"The Principal" Hey it's the only "the Belush" movie worth watching. I realize this is probably not the ideal movie to see and say "hey teaching looks fun" but whatever,I still like it. Besides if I got to teach at that school, I'd get to carry a bat around and hang around Lou Gossett Jr.!

4.

"Head Of the Class" What you don't remember that Johnny Fever was a teacher? When I was a kid I thought this show was great it was like a reverse of the the sweat hogs, all the kids in the class were smart. Why this inspired me, I have no idea, but it did.

3.
"Stand and Deliver" I hate math but love Edward James Olmos. I remember in my math classes after this movie came out, the actual teacher portrayed in this movie had a video math series that we would watch.

2.

"Summer School" I didn't envy Mr. Shoop having to teach summer school, but c'mon you got to love his approach. This one made me think "what if teachers were like real people, that would be cool."

1.

"Welcome Back Kotter" Yo mr Kotter... You inspired me to be a teacher, thanks! Oh, and you also made me want to have a apartment in Brooklyn with a giant arrow painted on the door.

how do you not want that in your mouth or colon?

Alright Swedishjerkface (yeah 3rd person guy) loves beef and cheese. It's no secret I like to party with hamburgers. Mother Theresa had the poor, Gandhi had his Khadi, I have Melted cheese, beef and bun. I am such a "junkie" of burgers that I am going to post my mostest sadest fattest story in the history of sad fat dude stories. Some years ago I was leaving 6th street and drove a friend home who lived near 38th and Red River. As I am taking this person home I am listening to her tell me a boring story about some band she hung out with blah blah blah.. So instead of listening to this "awesome" story I was nodding along as if I was listening and secretly thinking "hey there is a Jack-In-the Crack on 38th hmmm.... what ya' think gut, jumbo jack and fries." If you know me you know how I decided. So I drop my friend off at her apartment and raced over to Jack-In-the Crack for a Jumbo Jack w/cheese and fries. I got my food got on the highway and now this delicious smell is drawing me into the bag. I told myself to wait until you get home to eat this delicious treat, but I’m weak, and I cave into the burger temptation. Before I make it to my exit, I have finished my meal. But, as I make the exit it hits me again “hey wouldn’t another burger be a good idea.” Sigh... So I decided to drive to the Jack-In-the Crack near my house and I ordered the SAME THING!!! What a fatty! Enough with my depressing tale of gluttony, how about a happier tale. Check this bad motor scooter out!


Pretty rough rugged and raw eh! You are looking at the Bacon Sirloin Burger. It has bacon, beef, cheese, and that’s right it is topped off with a onion ring. Can you see the heartburn. My advice to you (if you can) is when your significant other is away go get this beast and wash it down with a milkshake (strawberry is a nice touch) and then proceed to roll on the floor with stomach and ass pains. You will not be better for it, but for a few seconds into your burger you will feel like a God. Sometimes in life, someone puts a big ole challenge on your front door step and questions you whole existence. Well I am that guy. CHALLENGE! Peer pressure sucks doesn’t it?

My favorite ESPN personality

I love sports and I love talking about sports. I even love all the pre-game hype that goes on before a game. I like to hear the experts predictions the week before the game, "this team can win if... this team will lose if... etc." It is fun to listen to all these people decide the outcome of an event before it is even played. However, and a big however at that, I hate the two week break before the Super Bowl! Ugh.. it takes forever for analysts to even discuss X's and O's. All this talk of "Bootgate" (by the way, I also despise any and every controversy ending in "gate" please stop but I digress) seriously will Brady play... Of course, what else is he going to do? I imagine Brady's inner monologue sounds like this,
Brady: Let's see, I led perhaps one of the greatest teams in history to an 18-0 year, I passed Peyton Manning in the all-time most thrown touchdowns, and I’ve had the highest throwing percentage in the whole league. But you know my ankle really hurts, better sit this last one out, besides, history is for old people. Bill wont mind! God I'm handsome.

Yeah somehow I don't see that happening (except that last part). Well my whole point to this is in my two week off non-stop Brady watch 08' there is one ESPN personality that is my beacon of light. I could not imagine a day without this man he keeps me informed and entertained, I'm talking about the GREATEST talk show host in the WORLD the one and only STEPHEN A. SMITH. I love this man he is great! Stephen A. is notorious for yelling at you to get his point across, even with the TV turned down to 0 he is still screaming at you. Here are some videos of the great Stephen A. watch, listen, and discuss.

So who is Stephen A.? Here is his theme song it explains it all!




Stephen A arguing with a crazy New York fan.



Stephen A. Smith destroys Stephon Marbury over ridiculous comments he made in the NY Daily News. (the best part is 4:10 in to the bit)



Stephen A. Is a huge Knicks fan, He is so disguseted see what he does.



Check Stephen A. out he can break down a NBA game, discuss boxing, break down the NFL, and give political advice and debate Pat Buchanen damn that Stephen A.!



Part II of the debate.


I love this guy check him out on Espnradio.com He is a breath of fresh air.

How's it going?

Well here it is my first post. Wow I don't even know where to start. I am currently taking a MiniMester session at my school TEXAS STATE UNIVERSITY (go bobcats) and it is almost killing me. The class is 15 days (14 if you exclude Memorial day), it is entitled "Riddles Of The Civil War." Sounds crazy right? It is! Man It has been intense I am a week away from finishing and still need to read 447 (whose counting) pages before Thursday. I like to pretend that I am actually complaining about the work load but to be honest, I enjoy it. It is way better then having to stand up at work all day doing the same thing over and over again. ugh.. Lately I have been having these intense dreams about the Civil War in which I am an observer in these major battles. It has been crazy, the other night I swear I was in the battle of Shiloh (not that I have ever been there but i know it was so) in which all these cannons were going off around me. It was severe carnage all around. It is weird how my dreams play out like movies. Is it from growing up with a dad who I watched John Wayne and Eastwood movies with since the point of my birth? Could be...All I know is I have never been in a class before where I have been dreaming about the material in question. Can you get extra credit for that?

In Other news, is anyone else mad about what the Democrats are doing in Congress? Man I can’t believe the blatant "pussy-footing" they are doing. "Wha Happen?" Did they already lose touch with their base? Did they forget about that huge election we all worked so hard on to get there butts in the right seats? Ugh... I wrote my congress people this week, despite the fact that they are all Republicans (Yeah Texas!), so we shall see how well my voice is heard(sigh). I suggest to all of YALL (I’m from Texas, It's a Word!) to do the same, write your congressperson, call them, and let them know that you are giving them the finger!
