Shows

Jesse here. So, recently I have noticed that I'm not enjoying movies as much as I used to. Maybe it's because I've watched too many and I need a break, or maybe it's because I've seen every good movie on the planet and now I'm down to watching sub-par movies. Sometimes I truly think it's that one. But, I haven't gone totally entertainment-free. I've gotten really into watching TV shows lately. For me, it's easier to watch 4 episodes of Smallville than it is to watch a 2 hour movie. I don't know.

So, the reason for this post is this. I'm in trouble. I am quickly depleting my shows. I'm running out of material. I've burned through so many shows in such a short period of time, I don't know where to turn next. And since we all love lists, this is the most complete list I could come up with of the shows I've watched. Then, maybe someone can think of something I'm missing out on.

1. Shows that I didn't love, didn't enjoy, or just weren't for me:
Sex and the City
30 Rock
Dancing with the Stars
24

2. Shows that were ok, that I might return to and finish watching someday:
X-Files
Survivor
Big Brother
Simpsons
Sopranos

3. Shows that I'm interested in, that are in my Netflix Q:
True Blood
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Firefly

4. Shows I am currently watching:
Smallville
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
How I Met Your Mother
Doctor Who

5. Shows I love, but they're over
Friends
Gilmore Girls
Invader Zim
Freaks and Geeks
The Office (British)
Extras
Fresh Prince of Belair
Saved by the Bell
That 70's Show
Home Improvement
Seinfeld

6. Shows that I love, and I continue to keep up with them
Smallville
How I Met Your Mother
Flight of the Conchords
Weeds
Heroes
Lost
The Office (USA)
Secret Diary of a Call Girl
Kath & Kim
Project Runway
America's Next Top Model
Burn Notice
Big Bang Theory
Dexter

So, if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

2004 Justademy Awards

I contemplated skipping this year all together because the academy actually got the awards right this year. There is one that is debatable between many people but other than that, all are right. So says i. But the reason i decided not to was because they totally flubbed a couple nominations. There are many people and films that didn't get nominated that were very deserving. So changes to the nominees but not necessarily the winners. Oh that was all a spoiler alert by the way. And i must apologize to Kevin Bacon. I threw a tantrum when the nominees came out in 2004 and he wasn't nominated for best actor for "The Woodsman." But when i did mine, i couldn't fit him in either. Sorry Mr. Bacon. There were 7 award worthy performances in this year by leading men. Without any further blabbering on....

Jake's bothersome blog

Jake, your blog bugs me. I have tried to leave comments several times to no avail. I click on the submit button and it doesn't do anything. At least if it said page couldn't be displayed, that would be something. But no, it does nothing. Jake you must fix so i can leave my all enlightening comments.

I'm Awesome

So i tell awesome jokes, and unfortunately sometimes they go unappreciated. Today Jesse's best friend Crystalle was visiting with her fiance Joe. They are getting married next month so they are all talking about wedding plans and what not. So Crystalle was talking about stuff they are doing for the wedding and she mentioned that they were doing a wedding video. They talk about the logistics of the whole thing and then she said it was going to cost about 700 dollars. Cue Justin's awesome line. Jesse said, "wow," and then I said, "man that dvd better have awesome special features." Nothing. Nobody cared. No response. That remark was awesome. Get it. C'mon people that line spewed awesomeness all over the room. I'm awesome.

Happier

So I am sitting here working on my favorite songs list and I get to "Happier" by Guster. Guster is Jesse's all time favorite band. We saw them in Vegas back on '06 and they put on awesome show. They play virtually flawless live. And rather than a drummer, they have a bongo player that beats the crap out of those things. It sounds awesome and he is way freaking good. They use drums as well in a lot of songs but i couldn't leave that tidbit out. Anyway, I don't know how many of you have listened to Guster, but i thoroughly enjoy them. They are awesome and their music is fun and good all at the same time.This song is not necessarily "fun" but it sure is awesome. This song though is pure poetry. They are fantastic song writers and so i thought i would share the lyrics of this song with all of you because they are incredible. And the part with parenthesis is my favorite part. The singer is singing slowly and the parenthesis are the back up vocals and they are going fast and it sounds so awesome. Anyway, you should love these lyrics and then download the song because it's amazing. And by download i mean purchase.....legally.....from your local record shop. *wink*

"Happier" by Guster
Say goodbye
Lose your friends
Make them go
Don't need them around

Cause it's time
Lose your friends
Make them go
Was never supposed to be like this

They were too weak too prone to break
Their needs too deep their skin too thin
By now you took what was to take
Tear it apart and start again

So go on
If this will make you happier
It got you this far
Do what you have to

You've wasted
Every moment
Of your saturday's
And your sunday's
You're wasted from the boredom
Was never supposed to be like this

Like your father said
Just do what was done unto you
Always
In your father's steps
You'll do what was done unto you
It won't be hard to start again

So go on
If this will make you happier
It got you this far
Do what you have to

And you're gone now
(Well you've known this would come and you've left me alone)
And did it make you happier?
(Your lost and your gone. don't take it so seriously)
Was it that hard?
(Go on and get going. I'm fine on my own)
Did what you had to
(It got you this far. Finally got it figured out)

One more inch
You son of a *****
Been a waste of my time
Always
Now you're half awake
You bend till you break
And make the same mistakes
Always

So go on
If this will make you happier
It got you this far
Do what you have to

And you're gone now
(Well you've known this would come and you've left me alone)
And did it make you happier?
(Your lost and your gone. don't take it so seriously)
Was it that hard?
(Go on and get going. I'm fine on my own)
Did what you had to
(It got you this far. Finally got it figured out)

Sign #16 That You Have The Coolest Wife In The World

When you are watching a movie and a "Pixies" song starts playing and she sings along with the entire song and you didn't even introduce her to them. And the movie played almost the whole song, not just a two second clip.
