So its 2010. A new year, a new decade. A time of new beginnings.
erican Pie, remember Mena Suvari?
z? I mean N'Sync was huge ten years ago. And now 10 years later only Justin Timberlake has managed keep up that level of fame. You think he wakes up in the morning and just wants to beat Justin by his blonde afro? Maybe J. C. should have learned to beat box. And yes Lance Bass and Joey Fatone aren't making guest appearances on SNL, at least they have done other things. But J.C. was the OTHER lead singer in N'Sync, he should have been at least as big as Nick Lachey, right? Sure J.C., he did a few crappy albums, but now he is in danger of being another Chris Kirkpatrick. (Chris Kirkpatrick is the other guy in N'Sync no one remembers or gives a crap about.)
trix Sequels. Man The Matrix was awesome. Great flick. It was the reason a lot of people bought DVD players. And then they made those 2 other ones. WOW. Could they have sucked more? I mean you gave the 2nd one a little leeway, because you figured the third one would explain all the things about the 2nd one that didn't make sense or contradicted the first one. Nope. Third one just sucked more. At least George Lucas set us up for the prequels sucking with Phantom Menace. Never saw that coming with The Matrix. Good news is, most people have forgotten there were 2 other movies. Seriously, next time you go to a party bring up The Matrix, and see if the following 2 things happen: 1.) If they even bring up the other two and 2.) if they do bring them up, see how long they talk about them until they say how much they suck. Say what you want about them, but I doubt Family Guy will devote special episodes to them.
ht Shyamalan, He was supposed to be the next Hitchcock. Remember how awesome The Sixth Sense was too? Remember how Unbreakable was OK, but not as good as Sixth Sense. Now do you remember his other movies? Yeah you do, and if you even saw them, I doubt the word "suck" would be left out of your opinion of them. What the hell happened? Did we just get tired of the twist? Or was it that we knew the twist was coming? Either way. His Aughts didn't pan out. Hopefully the tens will be better.
ara Reid. She gets a special mention. Now Tara has kept herself in the spotlight, but not the way she was supposed to. She started the 00's doing movies with Robert Altman and ended it by posing in Playboy to show everyone how she fixed her botched plastic surgeries. I was in a 7-11 the other night and I showed my Fiancee the Playboy with her on it. She pointed to Tara's chest and said, "Remember those aren't real." I laughed and point to all of Tara and said "Baby, none of that is real."
As the end of the year goes comes I thought I would get into the spirit by counting down the top funny things uttered during my trip home to see my Mom.10. "Baby, why won't your vagina let you put the cup in the cup holder?" Me to my girlfriend as she was trying to drive and put her drink back in the drink holder. I eventually became the designated cup in the cup holder person.
9. "The computer hates me." My sister's explanation for her score after Wii Bowling.
8. "So the thing that bothers you about this movie, is that the aircraft carrier about to smash the White House, is not to scale?" Me, while discussing with my sister, something she felt was unbelievable about the movie 2012.
7. "What time are we leaving?" "Around 7." "Seriously?" My sister and I in discussing how soon we would leave out from our hotel room in Strongsville Ohio.
6. "Wii Bowl?" My parents got a Wii recently, so there was a lot of Wii Bowling happening.
5. "I'm sorry I gave her a ring instead of a Wii". I proposed to my girlfriend over Christmas, before we went to my Mom's and before I saw have much she loved playing Wii.
4. "53 - 32" My Stepdad pronouncing his age, followed by the size of his jeans. All thanks to his "Assman" diet.
3. "About nine hours..." This seemed to be said every time on the drive there, when we "figured" out how much longer we had left.
2. "OK, so we are all farting in the car now, right?" My baby sister announcing to the car, and then rapidly figuring out that, nope, she was the only one.
1. "Oh, just go get a vibrator" My mother to my baby sister after her phone kept going off. She mean to say "put it on vibrate", but that is not what she said. Needless to say she will never hear the end of it.
Ah family and the holidays...
I love those guys.

Most conversations I have start with "Have you seen ____________?" (The blank is normally filled in with the latest TV / Movie / You Tube Video.) One I am getting a lot lately is "Have you seen Pawn Stars on the History Channel?" The answer is "Yes". But why am I getting this? Well you have 3 choices:
