Here's My Thing

People are filming babies, dogs, and I think cats getting slices of Kraft cheese tossed onto their face. It's taken off as a meme/video challenge. To be honest, I'm not surprised with the abnormally high participation with this social media craze, but I am shocked that so many people buy Kraft cheese.

Been driving to work more.  It's a lovely ride, but it's also $17 for parking, whereas taking the bus only deducts $5 from the bank account.  I can't believe I'm saying this, but the $17 is almost worth it... bump some Quasimoto, drive over a bridge - that's a good combo.

I thought Russell Crowe starred in 300, but apparently it's Gerard Butler.  Either way, great movie. First time I saw it was attempted via torrent. Torrent. When was the last time you heard that word? People who don't recognize the early days of the streaming struggles, you've got it easy.   I feel like this episode is a formulaic rant. And for episode #300, I think that's how it should be.  Enjoy!  Thank you all for rocking with me. 

I got three bloody noses in one day - seemed almost imperative to do an episode about it. Ended this one with a Rocky reference too. 

We champion cheese platters, but neglect vats of queso.  I don't think that's appropriate.

The sounds of the anxious beads of sweat leaving the foreheads of Instagram Influencers and then meeting the hardwood floors of some modern apartments in LA with Ikea layouts was loud an clear on March 13th, 2019. Instagram was down for 8-hours.  

I'm thinking about implementing handkerchiefs into my accessory arsenal. But how often am I to wash them? Do I need perpetual congestion to make legitimate use of them? What if I completely disregard utility and only apply these kerchiefs as subtle attributes to otherwise mundane outfits? 

I very much like sausage links.  Can't say the same about the patties. To be honest, I don't think sausage patties are actually sausage - I think they are smaller hamburger patties that got neglected and pushed to the back of the freezer.  I explore my potential teen-angst-energy towards these patties in the latter half of an episode. 

Chip bags are too loud, here's what I'm proposing.

I live vicariously through Brad Pitt's rocking of this scarf in the movie World War Z.  

Not business cards - me cards. 

We live in an era where not jumping to contest a dunk is encouraged. That's pathetic.  It is the softest thing in sports at the moment. I'm sick of it.  Keep in mind, I stopped playing competitive basketball in 7th grade, and never actually was in a situation where I had to jump to stop a dunk, but I equate this similar to grounding out to short in baseball and not running the play out.  At the same time, hypothetically, let's say the freight train that is LeBron James is storming at you, he cocks back his right arm and is about to pulverize the rim, but you ever-so valiantly leap up to stop the dunk and in doing so you get yammmmeeddddd on.  Worst case is it's an and-1. Chances are you're leaving the arena with an extremely candid photo of you and the King.  Sounds good to me.  

it's a lifestyle beverage, it's not that good for you, it's vitamin water.  accidentally bought some the other day, and i bought the 32 oz size.  not sure why vitamin water (a lifestyle beverage) is being in that large of a quantity... doesn't make sense to me.  i remember when vitamin water carried more clout too.  back when 50 was an active brand ambassador for it.  can't say it's nearly as relevant now.

Finally I set aside the time to talk about this commercial, but had to set the stage with a quick little story prefacing it prior.  In my opinion, this is one of the greatest pieces of media from the past 50-years. Does part of that opinion come from a crush that I may have had (I did) on Beyoncé when I was 8? Oh, for sure. Nonetheless, this truly is a brilliant commercial, kudos Pepsi. 

An inanimate object that really isn't too good, but one that I whole-heartedly support. 

It's not the flavor of the fruit.
