Who's gonna save my soul now?

Before we get into things that you should like, I wanted to share this article from Yahoo! if you haven't heard about it. An Alabama basketball player's grandma died and her funeral was the night before the game. But he traveled overnight, from the funeral straight to the basketball game, and ended up knocking in the game-winner. After the game, all he said was, "She helped me with that one."

Impressive, huh? Well, here is another edition of EddieC suggests:

 

HappyNews.com - If you're like me and your sick of the constant bombardment of crappiness that is current American events, why not get some happy news every once in a while?

 

Watchmen - If the film is even close to being what the graphic novel was, then the movie should be good as well. I have not seen it yet, but I intend to this weekend. Commntyblackman  posted a review if you think I'm full of shit

 

Snow Days - If you lived in the South at any point in the last week, you know what I'm talking about.*

 

Phase10 - I became slightly addicted to this card game during the snow days. And if you don't get it, you can't put any blame on the economy. It's like 3 bucks. They came out with an "experts" edition, but it was just a scam. Same friggin' thing.

 

S'mores - "You're killin' me smalls!"

 

The Sandlot - See "S'mores."

 

The Things You Think You Need by Jay Nash - I posted a Youtube video of him in an earlier post. I've been a fan for years, and he finally has an album in stores and it does nothing short of rock your inner (and outer) soul.

 

Voting Independent/Third Party - Try it. You can complain no matter who wins, thus giving yourself more blog rantings. And you can always say, "I told you so."

 

Not Discussing Religion - It's fun when you're not pissed off.

 

Blogging 's Blog - Sometimes funny. Always smart. Good writing. And she's always talking about books. Ain't nothin' wrong with that.

 

Tylenol - 'Cause headaches (like the one I had last week) suck.

Whiskey Sour - Whiskey. Lemon. Sugar. Save the cherry. Yum.

VH1's Classic Albums - I saw an episode on U2's The Joshua Tree. Pretty interesting.

Super Paper Mario (Wii) - It's actually pretty fun. Mario Galaxy is cool too, but I think Super Paper Mario is harder and lasts a little longer.

Taking Out the Trash Before Long Weekend Trips - I didn't take it out on Friday, and the apartment smelled like a Camel's ass last night.

Blueberry Candles - Neutralizes the smell of Camel's ass.

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - I still get down to their jazzy jivin' music the same way I did when I was in middle school.

"Waters of March" by Anya Marina - Awesome song. Take it in, chill, put it on repeat, have a drink or two. Three.

Finding Out What the Hell Bob Dylan Is Saying - The guy's a lyrical genius.

3:10 to Yuma - Awesome ending. And Christian Bale can actually act, but only in this movie. His super-fake, super-deep Batman voice annoys the shit outta me. And Keamy from LOST was in it. Badass.

Dane Cook's Harmful If Swallowed - He hasn't been funny since. And his first CD was by far his best, you glass bitch. You glass bastard.

Harry Potter in IMAX - I'm doin' it (unless the commies at Disney decide to move it again).

Any Led Zeppelin Album - Is it just me, or does Robert Plant look like Pippen from the Lord of the Rings movies?

Fireplaces - They're nice.

Not Killing John Locke - Bad idea, Ben.

"Take a Walk on the Wild Side" and "Lola" - Lou Reed and the Kinks were talking about the same he-was-a-she.

Getting a Grill - A man is not complete until he has a grill. I am now complete. Man.

Cooooookie Crisp - You don't have struggle to get your cookies out of a long glass 'cause they're in a bowl. Convenience is key.

Not Hating the Dallas Cowboys (As Much) - I have to admit, they've gone a long way. All the need to do now is get a quarterback with some balls and an owner who thinks he doesn't have so many.

Clipping Your Toe Nails Every Now and Then - Mine are like knives.

Eggs - Nothin' beats eggs in the morning.

"Bombs Over Baghdad" by Outkast - Don't pull that thang out unless you plan to bang. Obama is lucky he doesn't have to deal with the world's biggest douchebag of the 90's.

Dropping Your Obsession with American Idol - ...Especially for a television show that requires having an IQ higher than a grape.

Grapes - I'll take a branch any day. Especially green ones. Not a big fan of wine, though.

The Presidents of the United States of America by The Presidents of the United States of America - If you can understand what the hell they're talking about, please fill me in. She's lump!

Showering in the Afternoon - There's nothing like a good kick-in-the-butt after noon.

Weird Dreams - Not to be confused with wet dreams, I enjoyed bar hopping in Italy last weekend. And I'm really confused as to why I would turn down a chance to act with Jessica Biel on Saturday night. *Hits himself in the forehead* Shoulda had a V8.

R.E.M.'s Document - Pretty good album for a bald guy. And I can totally sing the first 2 verses of "It's the End of the World As We Know It." And I'm proud of it.

Peaches - I can't friggin' wait for the season!

Tropic Thunder - The movie is actually pretty stupid, but watching watching Robert Downey Jr. play an Australian who plays a black dude is freakin' great.

Confusing Avocados for Limes - Everyone got a good laugh yesterday because of our ignorance as to the differences of certain fruits and veggies. But when life gives you avocados, make guacamole.

And that's all for now. Peace!

* On Tuesday, the low was 14, on Sunday, the high was 83. Awesome. Just awesome.
