Your's would be too... if you were a man.

If you've seen Superbad, you know what that's about. I just watched it and funny shhhh-tuff. I never really got into Arrested Development. Maybe it was poor timing or whatever but it wasn't my thing. I'm just not sure why Mr. Teen Wolf 2.0 was such a big deal? Because he was the main charactor? As far I can tell he acts every part the same way. He's a white Denzel Washington.

As far as I can tell the only person who truly works from that show is Michael Cera. After seeing Superbad and Juno, I'm pretty sure he is the funniest kid to hit the screen in a long time. Now I know he didn't carry either movie but when he's on screen his lines are hysterical. I could quote them but out of context they carry no weight. I only bring him up because his delivery is so great its hard to tell if he's ad-libbing or just running the script. Michael Cera plays the awkward, hesitant weirdo perfectly. I guess you just have to hope and pray he avoids typecasting like the plague. You could easily see him turning into someone similar to Eugene Levy (The American Pie dad). Okay that's it, go see Superbad, if you haven't. Just know it is extremely crude.

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

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
