SciFi Saturday

Last week I spoke about one of my favorite Sci-Fi novels. I love Starship Troopers, I do, but it is not my favorite Sci-Fi novel of all time. In fact it isn't even my favorite power armor novel. No, that honor goes to Armor by John Steakley.

Awesome Fat Guy of the Week.

This week we are sticking with the world of comedy for out Awesome Fat Guy of the Week. I wasn't going to highlight another comedian so quickly but fate intervened. Sadly this week saw the death of a very funny man. Today I pay my respects to Patrice O'Neal.

Damn!! Thursday.

It's that time again. Time to show you something that makes you go "DAMN!!". Check after the jump for it.

Web Wednesday.

On this edition of Web Wednesday I want to introduce you to Bob and Carl the Sci-Fi Janitors.

Tat Tuesday.

After talking about Micro Machines last week I remembered something. I remembered the only other car toys I cared about. Penny Racers.

Media Monday.

For this Media Monday, I want to cast a spot light in "Posse". A great western that just happens to have a mostly black cast.

SciFi Saturday

Today I want to talk about one of my favorite books of all time. A SciFi masterpiece written by my favorite author Robert A. Heinlen. Starship Troopers.

Awesome Fat Guy of the Week.

This week we are looking to the world of Stand Up comedy for out Awesome Fat Guy of the Week. There are many to pick from. Men like Bruce Bruce, Gabriel Iglesias, and Frank Caliendo just to name a few. All of whom are more than worthy for the honor of Awesome Fat Guy of the Week. But this week I am talking about someone different. I am talking about John Pinette.

Damn!! Thursday.

Today, we will be looking at an act featured on India's Got Talent. The Indian version of the worldwide "hit" TV show. Like many talent shows not every act sings or dances. No, some of them do things that make you say "DAMN!!".

Web Wednesday.

Today I want to talk about my favorite Internet personality. Brad Jones. Film maker, Exploitation movie fan, show host, and owner of an amazing voice.

Tat Tuesday.

My mom is home. Sadly things are not as happy as they should be. Her psychiatrist fucked her over. Which would be bad enough as is, but to add insult to injury the detox center at Beth Israel is shit. Firstly there was very little security, secondly the staff were incompetent, and the other patients were disgusting. Especially the male patients. One of whom decided to masturbate in front of my mother. This was not a productive experience. The worst part of all of this is that my mother's psychiatrist refused to prescribe her an anti-anxiety medication. A medicine she has been on for he better part of 15 years. While it is true that she has over indulged with them recently, that doesn't change the fact that she has extreme anxiety. I don't know what she is going to do. I'm just glad she is home. For better of for worse.

Anyway. Micro Machines.

Media Monday.

My mom should be coming home tomorrow. Which is good. I haven't been doing so well recently. There isn't anything really wrong. I just have been kind of down. I worry to much. It makes it hard for me concentrate on things. My mind has been wandering more often than usual.

Today is Monday. Which means it is time for me to spotlight some form of media. I have decided to spotlight one of my most favorite people ever. Who just so happens to be an actor. So it still fits. I should warn you, if you continue to read this post, you will never be the same again. The amount of Awesome that is waiting for you after the jump may be too much to deal with. Click at your own risk.

SciFi Saturday.

Just a quick update. My mother is doing a little better. I spoke to her this morning and she wasn't crying. So that's good. What isn't good is that my cousin (who has been a great deal of help during all of this) called to speak to her. It turns out she was unaware of what had been going on. I had to explain everything. I can barely keep it straight in my own head. Saying it out loud was much more difficult than it should have been.

Anyway, today is Saturday. From now one I will be spotlighting a form of Science Fiction every Saturday. Whether it be a movie, TV show, book, or even a beloved character. So let's get to it.

Awesome Fat Guy of the Week

A woman called me today. She was calling to tell me mother was okay. This disturbed me greatly. I thought something horrible had happened. As it turns out my mother was just very emotional. So much so that she didn't think she could talk to me on the phone without crying. It made me feel great. No, not great. That other thing. What is it? Oh yes, I remember, terrible. I feel terrible. There is only one thing that will make me feel better. An awesome Fat Guy. Luckily today is Friday.

Damn!! Thursday.

Today's post will be a short one. I don't really feel all that great. I am worried about my mom. She is doing detox for anxiety meds. Except things aren't going very well. It is going to be hard this time. 

Moving on. Today is Thursday. I had a problem coming up with a them for today. My love alliteration limited my choices. However I overcame. And so I present to you Damn!! Thursday. Damn, as in the exclamation of awe. Every Thursday, I shall attempt to present something that will make you say Damn. Check after the jump for the first example.

Wednesday is for Web-Entertainment.

Second verse same as the first. So my mother is in Detox again. She didn't relapse though. Which is good. However, her Psychiatrist has said she is now addicted to her anti-anxiety medication. I won't argue with that. That doesn't make this any easier. Sometimes I just feel like I'm not really here. Or anywhere for that matter. Not to sound dramatic. I just want to see the end. Not of life. No just the end of this shitty spell I seem to find myself in.

Anyway on to more interesting things. Today is Wednesday and that means Web-Entertainment. I will spotlighting either a website, webshow, or web personality every Wednesday. Check after the jump for this weeks choice.

Tuesday is For Tat.

Tat is an English colloquialism meaning crap you don't need. It is a little more exact than that, but that is the gist of it. For this entry and future Tuesdays, Tat means toys, and other fun things that you can hold in your hand.

For this inaugural Tat Tuesday, I will be looking back on one of my favorite toy lines. Mighty Max.

Monday means Media.

So I have been neglecting this blog recently. Except for Fat Fridays. This got me thinking. I should do a similar style post everyday. Now I am no fool. I really doubt I will be able to do that, but it's worth a try. And so we come to out first media Monday. I will try to post a review/spotlight on a form of media every Monday. Mostly movies. Let's how long I can keep that up.

If you hadn't guessed today we will be looking at the 1998 movie "Drive".

14 days Sober. AFGW.

It has been a week since my mom got out of detox. She is 14 days sober. It has been a little tough in spots. Her anxiety has been acting up. Even with that she is doing really well. I am so proud of her. There isn't much else to say. Except that today is Friday and that means it's Awesome Fat Guy of the Week. Check after the jump to see who it is and why.

Mom's Home. Also Awesome Fat Guy of the Week.

So my mom got home today. It may have only been a week but I missed her. She is doing alright and plans of going to NA meetings. I think she may have gotten to that point. You know, that point where you see what you have become and decide to change. I might be stupidly optimistic, but I have a good feeling.

Anyway. Let's get to this week's Awesome Fat Guy of the Week.
