"I TRAINED TO BE A COUNTY LIFEGUARD!!!!!!!!!"
Okay, admist all the drama that has been November Sweeps on Adam:The Series (and no, I haven't had any ex-girlfriends show up at my door with my 5 year old illegitimate son yet), there have actually been SOME bright spots to the last few weeks. So, for the sake of turning this blog's frown upside-down, it's time to look back at some of life's little highlights. Though I present them to YOU in ever-fantastic list form, these are in no particular order.
-Astonishing X-Men #6 (and the return of the "Fastball Special") Egg Story, Y: The Last Man, Identity Crisis #6, and my new guilty pleasure, Birds of Prey #75-76.
my rebirth into comic books has made me very happy, and i'm trying all kinds of different tastes for the first time, and find that I can appreciate and learn from everything. Sooner or later, I'll finish a comic of my own, and it'll have a lot to thank from these eclectic tastes.
-My Dash Incredible wind up Happy Meal toy
given to me by the lovely Justine, he sits proudly upon my desk at work, ready to leap into action and defend the world from injustice. He also winds up and runs the whole way across the table in the lounge of the Law School.
-The debut of "Baywatch" on TV Land
Drew, Pizz and I watched three episodes the other night. The cheesiness is taken to a whole new level when presented on my dad's fantatsic big screen. Highlights for me included Carmen Electra's first episode, anything with Nicole Eggert, and Lifeguard Manny getting drummed out of the Corps due to bad eyesight reacting to Mitch's offer to work at a beach club with "I TRAINED TO BE A COUNTY LIFEGUARD!" storming out of his office, and breaking a window. I swear to you all "I TRAINED TO BE A COUNTY LIFEGUARD will me my new "I DRIVE A DODGE STRATUS!" Lowlights include Alexandra Paul in a bathing suit. She's probably the most annoying actress of all time, and makes me want to vomit. Why Mitch EVER dated this self-righteous, no-fun borefest is beyond the scope of my imagination.
and yes. i just wrote a paragraph on Baywatch. You have no idea how much I hope it's on during school hours.
-The purchase of my NEW YEAR'S ROCKIN' EVE ticket for DC!!!
Carbon Leaf! Pat McGee! Loads of free booze! Post-party with the band! Girls in dresses! Possible tuxedodom for me! Now, all I need is a date. Preferably female. Likes kissing at midnight, dancing, and won't mind if I smoke a cigar that evening. Hotness preferred. Dancing a must.
-The Stillers.
But I continue to refuse to comment.
-TWO Penn State wins, AND the signing of "The Lion" King
Could JoePa go out on top next year? Only if they find an Offense and fire Jay Paterno. But the Defense is going to be un-frickin'stoppable. PSU will be the Baltimore Ravens of the NCAA. ..without the murderers, drug dealers, and other assorted felons.
-The Episode III Trailer
Lord Vader....Yes, Master...Rissssssssssse. My Girlfriend Natalie with Leia-sticky bun-hair. The Wookie Braveheart. Two battlecruisers exchanging turbolasers from about 10 feet apart. Hayden's yellow eyes. That "Oh, Shit!" look on Ewan's face as that lightsabre approaches his larnyx. Ships that look like TIEs and X-Wings, but aren't. Luke looking at the twin suns of Tatooine (one of the most beautiful/imaginative shots in movie history) Sure, EPs I and II had badass trailers, and fell short, so i'm still cautious. But they've...almost...got me...roped. back. in.
-Defeating Master Mold, Magneto, 6 trillion Sentinels and saving NYC from Asteroid M at the conclusion of X-Men Legends. Oh, and APOCALYPSE!
Okay, Magneto was too easy to beat. That sucked. But the rest of the end was crazy-go-nuts. Super fun monster incredible game. I can now play as Havok (!!!!!!!) and the Danger Room missions I have left over are impossible. Also, I unlocked the OLD SCHOOL UNIFORMS!!! Wolvie has a mask! SO AWESOME.
-New CDs from friends
A great mix of new stuff from Kujo that I have yet to REALLY give a good listen to, but am really into so far, and MTSYRT by Jeanie, including my Cure Song of the Month, and other greatness that I only now have listened to enough to have put together an honest opinion on it all. My opinion: I TRAINED TO BE A COUNTY LIFEGUARD!!!. .. err.., umm.. Adam like!
Okay, that's just off the top of my head. There's also the everyday greatness of my life, like MatchGame re-runs on the couch and the look my dad gave me when I turned on "Fairly Oddparents" last night. Also cool is the continued development of TEAM: P.A.T.RIOT in my imagination and the slow progression I've made on the short comic I'm currently drawing. It's been slow, it's not been steady, but it's been good. Someday, when it's done, I honestly think it might be awesome. So life's not so bad. In fact, I think things are looking up, and once I get through finals, I'm gonna make some loot, find a girl, maybe a job, and get settled in for the long haul.
An era is ending, but a new day is dawning.
in the meantime, Carpe diem! and Cogito eggo sum..
That's "seize the day!" and "I think, therefore I am a waffle."
be good to each other!
