Here's Some Awesomely Self-Indulgent Ramblings

Hello. Welcome to the first and hopefully not last Awesomely Self-Indulgent Ramblings. This is going to be a series of comments mostly about pop culture and anything else that comes to my mind. With some of these ramblings, you may not have any idea what I'm talking about. Well, I guess that's what Goggle is for. The funny thing is, a couple of years from now, if I go back and reread this, I may not have a clue what I'm talking about, either. Anyway, and with apologies to Larry King, here I go:

Have you ever gone to a pizza place and saw a girl working there, or known any girl that works in one, and thought to yourself: "She's just a punk kid making pizzas"? What the hell, Dominos?

Speaking of commercials, almost all of them are lame, however, the Sprint ones with James Earl Jones and Malcolm McDowell are great. Which probably explains why I haven't seen their commercials in weeks.

Have you noticed that a lot of commercials feature a cute girl as their spokesperson? You have the T-Mobile girl, the Wendy's girl, the Toyota girl, the Kindle Fire girl, now there's the AT&T girl, who looks pretty fetching. I don't know if they make me use their products more, though. I guess they do cause me not to change the channel right away when their commercial comes on. I think I need to go outside more.

Also, that will be the last time that I will use the words "pretty fetching" to describe someone's looks.

My unabashed, no holds barred review of The Lego Movie: It was pretty good.

I want to see what kind of "selfie" they would come up with at the AVN Awards.

Then again, I probably don't.

My "John Travolta pronounced name" is Armin Schwartzman.

True Detective spoiler alert!!! Don't read the next four lines if you don't want to be spoiled:

Weren't you kind of disappointed there wasn't a twist ending at the end of True Detective? I thought the ending was fine, but (and I hate to place blame on anyone, but it's probably M. Night Shyamalan's fault) a part of me wanted Woody, I mean Marty, to roll Cohle in his wheelchair into oncoming traffic.

By the way, how long is the statute of limitations in regards to spoilers? There are probably some people who would get pissed if I spoiled The Empire Strikes Back, The Crying Game, The Sixth Sense, and Titanic.

And the spoilers are, in order: Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father, that chick had a penis, Bruce Willis is a ghost the whole time, and the "unsinkable" boat sinks.

To be fair, my newspaper recently spoiled the last season of Sons of Anarchy for me, which royally sucks. Is it my fault that I'm trying to play catch up on Netflix?

Yes, I still read newspapers.

So, Game of Thrones on HBO is reportedly going to end after seven or eight seasons. With how long it's been taking George R. R. Martin to write, this could be the first time ever that a TV show ends up spoiling the books.

Of course, I am so behind on the books anyway, that this will have no effect on me. #extremelyslowreader

I'm not going to read the last book until all the movies come out, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that in Mockingjay, Peeta gets his ass kicked...a lot.

Jane Leeves is the most underrated comedic actress ever.

And she's still very hot. (And I'm not just talking about Cleveland).

I may be the only person on the planet that doesn't have any sort of opinion about Justin Bieber.

Can you imagine making it all the way to the last game in the Quicken Loans' Billion Dollar Bracket Challenge, only to lose on a last second shot? That would be the worst feeling in the world.

If there was ever a time to fire up the Delorean to 88 mph and grab the Sports Almanac, now is the time.

That Anonymous guy is always the harshest critic, no matter what he reviews or comments on.

He's pretty prolific, too.

I want a device that permanently embeds the WWE Network into my brain.

Yes, I'm a wrestling fan, deal with it!

How come the only new Get Fuzzy cartoons are the Sunday ones? I'm still waiting for Calvin and Hobbes to come out of retirement, now I have to deal with this?

I'm still on Team Coco.

Adding Jonathan Banks to anything makes it even better.

In real life, I am the bizarro Jonathan Banks.

On that sad note, that is all, thanks for reading!
