Still Funny

There are few shows that can maintain the same level of sweetness over 10 plus years. Simpsons couldn't do it, Friends tanked in the last season and Seinfeld, while still awesome, is nearly a completely different show by the end. Plus, I'm not sure it was 10 seasons long. The best example of a show that produces belly laughs from start to finish is South Park.

Since I moved from working for Hertz in the east bay to the city I have worked with a new group of people. One of my current coworkers recently brought up South Park it occurred to me that South Park is fantasgreat from Season One up through today Season Eleven. I was never really a big fan of it (possibly because of all the horrible t shirts and catch phrases that came of the show) but the storylines and messages are comic genius.

Head over to allsp.com to check out every episode from season to see catch some highlights. I don't have any favorite episodes but I did just watch a couple of funny ones; "The List" from seasons 11, the boys in 4th grade find out the girls made a list ranking the hottest boys in the class, so they steal it and they cant handle their rankings. So Funny, I don't know if girls actually do this but they had I'm sure I would have been in the bottom half. I was quite the goofy kid, and... um... overweight. Another great episode from the same season "More Crap" Stan's dad craps the worlds biggest crap and hilarity ensues. You have to check those out.

Big news on my work front! I am being trained down at KCBS tonight to be a PA down there. That's right I'm pretty close to a full timer for CBS. It's pretty exciting. A lot of audio editing and feed recording, podcast posting, etc. Exciting stuff. It's all falling into place. Smell ya later.

This book should not exist

It's late on a mid-October 2015 night and I am struggling with whether I should buy a $1,200 last-minute ticket to California to be with my family for my mother's emergency brain surgery. A week prior everyone was together in my house for an adventurous weekend climbing a wind turbine and celebrating my grandmother's 90th birthday, now we are on the eve of my mom going under the gamma knife for emergency brain surgery. Turns out she has a size-able tumor growing on the surface of her brain.   It's a bit of miracle that the tumor was discovered in the first place as my mom's routine cancer screenings didn't usually include brain scans; however, she had been complaining of blurry vision and balance issues, plus she had become quite irritable having been pushed to take FMLA from work to deal with what she thought was post-cancer "brain fog." Thankfully her doctor had the good sense to add it all up and include her brain in her next cancer scan. Sure enou...

Finding "Clarity" in 1999

Image
I distinctly remember Tuesday, February 23, 1999. I was still living in Iowa and immediately after school let out I road with a friend to Best Buy so he could pick up Eminem's freshly released second album. Always down for a hang, I road along as there was one album I had read about and wanted to see if it was in stores. That album was Jimmy Eat World's Clarity . On the ride home I didn't bother asking to put in my purchase as my friend was not a rock fan. So for the next hour or so of cruising we blasted Slim Shady at painful volumes. For those uninitiated, this was the "Hi! My name is (ticka ticka) Slim Shady" album. I was indifferent to rap so it got a little long and tiresome by roughly the third time through the album. When I finally listened to Clarity it underwhelmed. Nothing on the album is lyrically hook centered on kinetically riff focused like later Jimmy Eat World releases. For a 16 year-old ska and pop punk super fan, Clarity go...
