Aside from this, today bit it.
I can't get enough of it. Ever since ordering the most massive plate of spaghetti last night at Good Ol' Uncle Bobs, I haven't been able to get this clip out of my head.
Needed to be shared.

Pisces (Feb 19 - Mar 20)
Nebulous dreaming can lead you into trouble now, so it's best to look at your future through a practical lens. If you look past the bright colors and pretty shapes, you can rely on what you see. Don't get distracted by the beautiful fantasies, for these ephemeral visions won't last. Concentrate on the cold hard facts; they will benefit you the most in the days ahead.
My oh my.
I can never get enough of A Christmas Story. I laugh every time. At the same things.
May I add, I've got a killer family. Yesterday's Christmas probably took the cake.
And did you know, only about 60% of newborn male babies in the United States are circumcised? True fact.
To finalize, Wu Tang Clan is playing Pittsburgh tonight. I'm missing it. Should have planned ahead for this one.

One more thing,
Yes. This reminds me of the perfect mix between two of my favorite movies, A Christmas Story and Love Actually.
If you've seen both of these movies, you know exactly where I'm coming from.
GOODNIGHT.
Good call.
This is too good,
The Story:
Sometimes an official, through no fault of his own, will get caught up in the middle of a play and inadvertently make contact with a player. Sometimes an official just feels like making a tackle. Sometimes an official is concerned that a player has been programmed to kill the Queen of England and is forced to take matters into his own hands.
Whatever happened yesterday, here are some terrific action shots of NFL umpire Lieutenant Frank Drebin Garth DeFelice taking out Rams running back Kenneth Darby yesterday. Getty Images photographer Dilip Vishwanat was johnny-on-the-spot yesterday, and the world thanks him for it.
Official vs Cory Worthington.
Who wins for coolest dude?
I'll separate them into age groups so they can both win their respective titles.
Tomorrow. Christmas Eve.
I don't think I'm supposed to eat meat.
Either that or I'm supposed to eat seven different kinds of fish tomorrow.
I can handle both of those.
Bring it on, Family.

Fuco Ueda
Look familiar? Love her.
Click for more, please.
It's too early to say anything special about Fuco Ueda. It's obvious, she's amazing. Every piece comes straight out of you're strangest dream. It took long enough trying to pick just a few to use as preview, I'm captivated. I've been captivated since I stumbled across her. The colors are amazing, the style is one of my favorites, hand done but still complex, there's so much to look at and think about and simmer in.
Enjoy.

Carols don't even phase me anymore.
Okay, okay, it's almost Christmas. I'm reading the news about great electronic gifts and things of the sort. Working in the mall, the haven of all that is Christmas, kind of ruins everything. Our parking lot on weekends looks like Times Square, it will literally take you at least twenty minutes to leave the mall and there is a good chance you're gonna get hit, or have someone give ya the bird.
Christmas. How lovely. It never feels full blown until Christmas morning and I realize that I have a day off. I don't have to listen to an angry customer, don't have to fix any problems, don't have to focus on sales, boost morale, or think about the food court. My ideal gift, is, in fact, being home.
I spent last night with two favorites at a dive bar. Realizing halfway through that this was the last weekend before Christmas, that this was the weekend of Holiday parties galore, and festive festivities every which way at every popular bar. Girls wearing elf suits and santa hats.. This was supposed to be everyone's crazy weekend.
Nope.
Sat at the dive bar. Beer. Talking about nothing in particular other than, working in the mall ( since we all do ), teenaged mutant ninja turtles, cookies, life long dreams of becoming a kung-fu master, and who is this dude...?
"Hey guys, you all having a good night? Anyone need a drink?"
Nah.
"Yeah, that's cool. Man.. I haven't slept in weeks. It's terrible. Ever since Heath Ledger died..."
.. He died almost a year ago..?
"Oh yeah.. Told you it's been rough, I haven't slept. I celebrate his death every night. I'm only twenty. What am I even doing here?"
Follow that up with the small man talking to Thomas about how much he wants to join a band and asking him how to write a bridge, and his friend informing me that the orange in my beer was huge and looked "like a condor."
And to shortly there after say at random "Dave Grohl sucks."
How very strange.
On my way home I watched a guy wreck his car all by himself. We were crossing the bridge and he swirved a little, then spun around drag racing style, hit the side of the bridge, spun the other way and ended up on the other side, facing the wrong direction on the highway.
It was 3:30 in the morning. I was the only one who saw him do it and luckily far enough back to not get involved in the act. I pulled over and asked if he was alright as he walked across the street to pick up his bumper. He said "Yeah definitely! No big deal!"
I asked if he needed me to call anyone or if he needed water...? I have so much water in my car at any given point of time.
He said "Nope! I have triple A!"
Dandy. He was really chipper for having just destroyed his car.
These holidays feel more and more like any other day each year.
That being said, I am entirely grateful for the people in my life right now. I've made a conscious effort over the past year to be the better version of myself. When you surround yourself with good people, that task isn't all that difficult.
Dear customers who won't stop freaking out about "IF I CAN'T HAVE IT BY CHRISTMAS THEN I DON'T WANT IT,"
There are better things in life.
Like gay penguins.
Good people.
Cookies.
Fake trees.
And condor looking oranges.
Life will go on.
