I'm here, but don't tell anyone.

For some reason I just really want to write about things. I don't know what things, but some things. I haven't written on this thing in over a year. A year! I loved it when I was doing it, and I think about it all the time, but I'm much older and lazier now.

In the year since I wrote in this thing I graduated from Fountainhead College of Technology. I graduated with perfect attendance, and a 4.0. I'm particularly proud of the 4.0, since I was always accused (fairly) of being someone who never lived up to his potential in high school. Now, as I fail to live up to my potential in life, I can point to one 16-month period where I actually DID do what I was capable of.

My brother moved to Huntsville, AL. He's a super-powerful manager of a high-profile luxury steakhouse (or something). It's been lame without him here. I think him being far, far away has actually decreased my love for sports. I did manage to finally get him to watch LOST, and he plowed through it in like a month, and loved it (even the finale). Soon he's going to be in Birmingham, AL. He's got some awesome things going on in his life, and I'm proud to be his brother.

My sister is currently teaching at every middle school in East Tennessee. She has 13 Bachelor's Degrees, 74 Mastter's, and now she wants to teach. She was previously teaching the "Dangerous Minds" class, she was playing Michelle Pheiffer. I'm super proud of her too. She's chosen a tough profession, but she truly wants to help these kids. And that's what we all need, someone who wants us to succeed, and is willing to help us get there.

A lot of you may not know me that well, but I have an amazing family. I had that amazing family when I was blogging before as well, but I just decided to put that in here. We spend a lot of time together (not enough, if you ask me), and the halls of Wood Manor echo with laughter and merriment when we convene. I've been blessed beyond measure, and I am not nearly grateful enough. My parents are incredible. They've raised three solid adults (yes, I'm counting myself). They get to watch their 3 kids work, and not only work, but work doing what they love. I have two kids of my own, and it makes me happy to think of them growing up, being out there in the work force, and getting to do something they're passionate about. I don't want to see them going through life as a drone.

Also, I'm officially an IT dude now. No longer am I a guy you can call when you can't get on that there Internet (I mean, you can still call me, but you're paying now). I am a paid computer fixin' professional. That's how I roll. I was fortunate enough to get a job with one of the best IT companies in the Southeastern United States, right out of school. They've really been a blessing to me, and I have learned more in 10 months with them, than I ever thought possible. I feel like soon I may get to move up a level on the IT Professional Scoring Chart. Maybe all the way from poor, to mediocre. Fingers crossed!

I have also lost some things that were very important to me in the last year. Two things to be exact, LOST and Friday Night Lights. LOST was/is my favorite show ever, and it ended last Spring. And you know what? I LOVED THE FINALE! So what? Say something! Friday Night Lights, I believe, is the best TV drama ever filmed. The ending was very emotional, and very satisfying. And yes, there were tears in the Wood living room.

I also lost the great Urban Meyer. Although, if he's coaching AN Ohio State University in 2012, he's dead to me. Thanks for the rings, and good day sir!

So that about gets you caught up with me. I'm not doing this to try to get back blogging again. I just wanted to slap some words together. Maybe I will try to post every once in awhile, maybe I won't. I'm an enigma. There's some good new TV on, maybe I'll write about that. I discovered Mumford & Sons, there are about 10 good posts in that album. It's mind-blowingly good. Maybe I'll write about that. Maybe I'll throw something together on the current geek-renaissance. We're cool now, you know?

I'm not planning on telling anyone that I put this up. It was cathartic for me. Glad the empty Internet could be here for it.

So all-in-all, I'm good. How are you?

Best of the Decade - TV Shows

I was going to do my countdown of the Top 11 shows of the decade, but then I realized I had kind of already done it. I only became addicted to TV in 1999 so my 10 favorite TV shows of all-time can almost double as my tops of the decade. So instead of rambling on and on endlessly about each entry in the countdown, I'm going to just list all 11 and call it a day. Some of them are different than my all-time top 10, but the gist is the same. Here we go.

1. LOST
2. Friday Night Lights - I will say this for FNL, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE watch this show when it comes on NBC in January. You don't know what you're missing.
3. 24
4. Angel
5. The Office
6. Arrested Development
7. Chappelle's Show
8. American Idol
9. The Sopranos
10. Scrubs
11. Glee

So there you have it. The top 11. Hooray for Luke! For the rest of the list avert your eyes one inch lower again. Back tomorrow with my top ten TV episodes of the decade. Peace!

The rest - House, Bones, Monk, Las Vegas, Band of Brothers (I know technically a miniseries, not a show, but it had to be included somewhere.)

So the decade is over? Isn’t a decade over every year? I’m pretty sure it is. One of my favorite things about the end of each year is reading all of the Top 10 lists that people do. I like to see how my lists compare to theirs, and I enjoy seeing how many random movies they’ll throw on there just to make it seem like they’re edgy, and cool. So this year (decade) I’ve decided to do my own lists. As anyone who has read this blog before knows, I love me some lists. So this week I’ve got three of them for you. Today we’ll be tackling my Top 12 movies of the decade. Why 12? Well I just couldn’t pick two of these to take off the list to make it 10. So here we go.

1. The Lord of the Rings – I’m counting this one as one movie. It deserves to be seen as a whole story. A cinematic masterpiece, rivaling any of the classics of yore, it is the most brilliant thing I’ve ever watched on screen. The Return of the King is also the best experience I’ve ever had in a theater. The crowd was into it, and there were cheers aplenty. Not, Ooh Jacob just took his shirt off, cheers either. Real, Holy cow Eowyn just stabbed dude in the face, cheers. And the best part was when they showed the trailer for the Garfield movie, and everyone in the entire theater booed with all they had. Classic. If they rerelease these to celebrate the anniversaries of the original releases, they’ll be number one on that decade’s list too.


2. The Dark Knight – As a comic book geek I must say that this was all comic book geeks had been waiting for for years. The perfect adaptation of one of the greatest comic book heroes of all-time. Everything about this movie is absolutely perfect. It’s dark, gritty, and violent. And that’s before I include the Joker. Heath Ledger’s performance as the Joker is the greatest performance I’ve ever seen on film. It captures everything the Joker should be. Psychopathic, evil, and malevolent, it is a master class on acting. I don’t think the Joker should ever be on film again after what Heath did with it, unless they do it in more of a colorful way with Mark Hamill. This movie also passes the “Premium channel test”. It’s on the premium channels 12 times a day, and I’ve seen it about 4,000 times since we got the premiums, and it still holds up.


3. Love Actually – I think this movie has been on every list I’ve done on this blog. I love love, and I love stories about love. I also like the British accent. This movie is happy, sad, hilarious, inspiring, and fun all at once. It is like 8 different stories, which are all connected in some way, and are all about different relationships. It stars every famous British actor, except for Sean Bean and Clive Owen. If you don’t feel good after watching this movie then you need to check your soul, it’s dead.


4. 300 – This movie has a lot of haters out there, and I don’t get it. I’m feel certain Zach Snyder was trying to make a killer action flick based on Frank Miller’s graphic novel, which is LOOSELY based on a true story. Did he succeed? Absolutely he did. There are four or five scenes in this movie that always get me fired up and ready to battle Xerxes. I love Gerard Butler in this movie, and like to imagine the outcome if he and Jack Bauer got into a shouting match. I bet the world would stand still.


5. Sin City – Just typing the name of this movie makes me want to watch it. However, my kids are home, and I don’t know if it’s appropriate for them. Another entry for Frank Miller on the list, the man is talented. Mickey Rourke as Marv, complete with his mitts, is on my favorite movie characters of the decade list, (Which I haven’t made) and Clive Owen’s story is my favorite. There’s so much that is great about this movie. I love the way it looks, because I don’t like gory movies, and the cartoonish effects make it easy to take. I’m a big fan of movies that don’t pull punches, and this is most definitely one of those. I think you have to be of a certain mind to watch this movie, and a lot of people may not like it, but this guy loves it.


6. Wall-E – As I said above, I love love stories. This movie is one of my favorite love stories ever. I can ignore all the silly environmental messages, and watch this movie without feeling like I’m being preached at. I don’t know how these Pixar guys do it, but they seem to have the best staff of writers in the world. They manage to convey more while only using 2 words than most movies can convey while using 10,000. And that’s not to mention how incredible the movie looks. The scene where Wall-E and Eve are “dancing” is just beautiful. In my opinion the greatest Pixar movie ever.


7. Snatch – This is just one of those movies I can watch at any time, regardless of how many times I’ve seen it. Brad Pitt is absolutely hilarious in his second best performance ever, behind 12 Monkeys. The way Guy Ritchie makes all of these stories come together never ceases to amaze me. And the scene where the dudes back into the van is absolutely hilarious. Vinnie Jones as Bullet Tooth Tony is fabulous, and his speech about his “point five oh” is one of my favorite movie speeches. Just a good time for all.


8. Ocean’s 11 – Cool. That’s really all that needs to be said for this.


9. Mr. Brooks – In my opinion one of the most underrated movies ever. You never hear anyone talk about this flick, but it is incredible. One of the four good Costner movies, he is excellent here. However, it is William Hurt that steals the show. This guy seems to be great in everything he’s in. You also get to see Dane Cook do something that people have wanted to see Dane Cook do for a long time. If you haven’t seen this movie, give it a shot. You’ll be pleasantly surprised.


10. Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind – Number one on the longest title list. A really strange flick, but yet another great love story. With an amazing performance by Jim Carrey, in a drama role no less, this movie has to be seen to be believed. Although, if you’re one of those people who has a hard time following movies, you might want to stay away from this one. In the end love seems to conquer all.


11. The Last Samurai – How did Tom Cruise not get an Oscar nom for this? A crime I tell you. Another extremely underrated movie, this one gets me in tears every time I watch it. It is a great, great story. One of those where I distinctly remember the first time I watched it. It was me, my brother Andy, my dad, and my friend Clint. After it was over we all kind of just sat there in awe. All we could say was, “Man that was awesome.” If that’s your response after seeing a movie, then you have probably just watched a winner.


12. The Hangover – Comedy of the decade. Just an incredible ensemble cast, and a great story. Bradley Cooper can’t quite steal the Coolest of the Decade award from Brad Pitt and George Clooney in Ocean’s 11, but he comes close. One of those movies that you just kept hearing about, and then when you saw it actually exceeded the hype. I’ve seen it about 10 times now, and it’s still just as funny as the first time.

There you have it, my Top 12 movies of the decade. There were a few that I had a hard time leaving out, but in the end these were the ones that I just could NOT leave off the list. I’ll be back tomorrow with my Top 11 TV shows of the decade. To see the flicks 13-31, in random order, just move your eyes down about an inch.

13-31 – Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Black Hawk Down, V for Vendetta, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Jarhead, Revenge of the Sith, The Incredibles, Casino Royale, Minority Report, Anchorman, Iron Man, Catch Me If You Can, Collateral, The Kingdom, The Prestige, Serenity, Star Trek, Superbad, Unbreakable

2009 Football Talk

After a two week hiatus, I’m happy to say I’m back. I know you’ve missed me. I heard your collective heart sighs each day that went by without a post from me. Well, you can quiet your suffering hearts, I have returned. With that, I must apologize to the ladies, this posting won’t be for most of you. I feel a sports posting in me, and since the college football season officially kicks off on Saturday, I’m going to put it on paper/screen. So here we go.

Before I get on my soap-box I must confess a major bias here. As you all know, I am a HUGE Florida Gator fan. I am an even bigger Tim Tebow fan. As the season has gotten closer there has been many different discussions about the “big 3” QBs in college football, Sam Bradford, Colt McCoy, and Tim Tebow. They range from which one will win the Heisman, to which one will be better in the NFL. ESPN’s two draft “experts” both think that Tim Tebow will be unsuccessful in his attempt to play QB in the NFL. I personally think that both of these fellows are wrong. With all we’ve learned and seen from Tim Tebow throughout his high school and college career it would be foolish to discount him in anything he attempts. I firmly believe that Tebow is the greatest college QB of all time, and he if performs up to his normal standards this season, he will finish as the greatest football player of all time.

I also think the notion of the “big 3” QBs in college football is ridiculous. I think you have Tim Tebow, and two really good QBs. Don’t get me wrong, I think Bradford and McCoy are both excellent QBs, but they’re not in Tebow’s league. One of the reasons I think that is that they both play in the “defense optional” Big 12. They’re putting up these monster numbers against pathetic defenses. I know everyone outside of the Southeast is tired of hearing about the SEC, but it can’t be stated enough, the SEC is clearly the most dominant conference in college football. Anyone who thinks differently, like Mel Kiper Jr, is just wrong. You would think that winning the last three national championships would be enough. Or that winning five of the eleven BCS championships would end the argument, but people always want to try to disagree. I really don’t know what it is going to take for people to realize that arguing this subject is pointless. Anyway, back to the original thought. Fifteen years from now, when you’re bouncing your children, or grandchildren, on your knee and you’re talking to them about football, unless you’re a Texas or Oklahoma fan you probably won’t remember much about Bradford and McCoy except that they were really good. You’ll call a friend who knows way too much about sports and say, “Hey man, what was the name of that really good QB who played for Texas? (or Oklahoma) He played in the late 2000’s.” However, regardless of where you’re from, or who you cheer for, Tim Tebow will never be forgotten. People will always remember him, remember the way he played the game, and the things he did outside it. He is one of a kind, and deserving of every accolade he has gotten, and probably more.

I’ve also wanted to put my SEC picks for the season in a column, so I can have them on record when they all go miserably wrong. So I’m going to give you what I believe the SEC will look like at the end of the year, along with my pick for the national championship game, and the other conference winners.

SEC East Conference Record Overall

Florida 8-0 12-0
Georgia 5-3 8-4 (Losses to OKST, LSU, UT, UF)
Tennessee 4-4 8-4 (Losses to UF, Bama, USCe, Vandy)
Vanderbilt 3-5 7-5 (Losses to LSU, Ole Miss, UGA, UF, USCe)
South Carolina 2-6 6-6 (Losses to Vandy, UF, Arky, Bama, Ole Miss, UGA)
Kentucky 2-6 6-6 (Losses to UT, UF, Vandy, UGA, USCe, Bama)

SEC West Conference Record Overall

LSU 6-2 10-2 (Losses to UF, Bama)
Alabama 5-3 9-3 (Losses to Arky, Ole Miss, Auburn)
Arkansas 5-3 9-3 (Losses to UF, LSU, Bama)
Ole Miss 5-3 9-3 (Losses to Arky, UT, LSU)
Auburn 3-5 6-6 (Losses to LSU, Arky, Ole Miss, UT, UGA, West Virginia)
Miss State 0-8 3-9 (Losses to The SEC, Georgia Tech)

SEC Championship Game – Florida over LSU

ACC Winner – Virginia Tech
Big 10 Winner – Ohio St.
Big 12 Winner – Texas
Big East Winner – South Florida
PAC-10 Winner – Oregon

BCS National Championship Game – Florida over Texas

Heisman Trophy Winner – Tim Tebow QB, Florida

So that’s that. I’m sure I’ve made some errors in the records in my SEC standings. It’s actually kind of hard to do with so-and-so beating so-and-so, so they finish here over so-and-so. So now you’ll all be able to make fun of me when my predictions go terribly awry. I’ve also placed the ultimate jinx on my precious Gators, but I just don’t see how we lose.

For all the people who read this whole thing even though you don’t care about sports, thank you. I’ll be back with some links tomorrow. Long days, and pleasant nights everyone.

Luke's Links 8-10-2009

I'm here to put an extremely needless debate to rest. Today I was searching around the internet, and I stumbled upon several articles debating the best Starburst color. I'm here to end this ridiculous discussion once and for all...PINK! Pink is hands down the best "flavor" of Starburst. It's as easy to pick this one as it is to decide that watermelon is the best Jolly Rancher. (Which it is. If you say another flavor I will stab you in the jaw. Dane Cook shout-out.) There are just certain things that don't need discussion, like putting ketchup on hot dogs. The pink Starburst is definitely one of them. Seriously, it's like an explosion of wonder in your mouth as soon as you bite into one. Awesome. I'm glad I got that cleared up. The world is a better place now.

Since I've gotten that off of my chest, let's get to the links. Today's first link is one that I should have made myself, but I didn't get around to it. It deals with a product that I consider a symbol of everything that is wrong with our society. We complain about the economy, yet will spend money on something this stupid. If anyone owns one of these, I'm sorry...they're stupid. WARNING: Contains some language. Buyer beware. Blankie

This one is apparently one of the most viewed YouTube videos of all-time, but I had never seen it until today. It's really funny/cute. Plus, I've never heard Star Wars explained so clearly. Cute Star Wars

Another classic clip from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. My brother and I mentioned this in conversation on Saturday, and I hoped it was on YouTube so I could see it again. Is there a scene from this movie that ISN'T classic? Holy Hand Grenade

I'm loving these compilation clips from different TV shows. This one is from The Office. It's every "That's What She Said" from the first four season of the show. For those of you who don't watch the show, "That's What She Said" is Michael Scott's catch phrase. It's good stuff. That's What She Said

Here's today's mystery video. It's a mystery. That means I won't be able to tell you what it is, because that would ruin the mystery. I promise it's good. Mystery

Well, that's it for this week. I hope everyone has a wonderful week. Long days, and pleasant nights everyone.

Top Ten TV Characters

I was trying to think of something really off the wall, and different to do a list of today, but my imagination let me down. Instead, I’ll be doing my Top Ten TV Characters. The only rule for this list is, NO REALITY GARBAGE! These are characters from scripted TV shows only, and no, I do not mean The Hills. (Rimshot) So let’s not waste time. To the list!

1. Angel (David Boreanaz, Buffy the Vampire Slayer & Angel) - Everyone's favorite vampire with a soul. He was the best thing about Buffy during it's first three seasons. (which were the best) You could tell, because when he left the quality of the show dropped off quite a bit. I love so many things about this character, I could never list them all. If you were a fan of both Buffy and Angel, then you got to watch both the character, and the actor grow into something special. I remember when Buffy started I thought the character was awesome, but you could definitely tell that it was David Boreanaz's first acting job. He continued to get better, and better, and now he is phenomenal on 'Bones.' I like to think I was there from the beginning. Oh, and there's this too; Angel would rip Edward Cullen apart in about three seconds flat. Angel Clip
   
2. Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland, 24) - I can tell you this, I hope America has people like Jack working for it in real life. This man has gone through it all. I wonder if anyone has ever had a worse collection of days than the eight days we've watched Jack endure? If I were somewhere, and I saw Jack running around the streets I would sell my house, and hop on a plane IMMEDIATELY! Where Jack is, bad things happen. After watching this show since 2001, I've become convinced that no one else could play this role. The Kiefer Sutherland casting choice was a stroke of genius. I hope the person that made that decision got a raise. Bauer Clip
   
3. Tim Riggins (Taylor Kitsch, Friday Night Lights) - I think I'm going to make it my goal to work 'Friday Night Lights' into every column I write from here on out. If you've been reading my blog for any amount of time, you know how I feel about this masterpiece of a television show. I think Tim Riggins is the heart of the show. I know Coach Taylor is awesome too, but there's just something about Riggins. He has so many issues, and so many times he's done really crappy things to other people, but you just can't help but cheer for the guy. He wants to do the right thing, he just doesn't always know how to go about it. I really hope they find a way to work him into the story this season, since he "graduated" at the end of last season. The writers would find a way to make it work without him, but it wouldn't be the same. Riggins Clip
   
4. Barney Stinson (Neil Patrick Harris, How I Met Your Mother) - Let's go ahead and get this out of the way, as far as TV characters go, Barney Stinson is legen...wait for it!...dary! He's a womanizing, suit wearing, catch phrase spewing dude. He's one of those transcendant characters that begins to dominate a show as a fringe character. The show is about Ted meeting the future mother of his children, but they've done such an unbelievable job with Barney, that most people don't even care about Ted anymore. Barney is the main reason people watch the show. The first time you see it, he's the character you remember when it's over. He's such a terrible person, but you laugh so hard at what he does and says, that you just don't care. NPH is simply brilliant in the role, and I hope he wins the Emmy this year, but he won't. Barney's Resume
   
5. Dr. Perry Cox (John C. McGinley, Scrubs)/Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie, House M.D.) - These two have to share a slot because they're pretty much the same character. The only difference is the genre they perform in. They're both brilliant doctors, with some severe issues. Neither of them like to sugarcoat anything, regardless of who they're talking to. They both seem to be attracted to high-powered women. And most importantly, they're freaking hilarious. Hugh Laurie is, perhaps, the finest drama actor on TV right now. He gave some incredible performance on the last season of House, and I can't wait to see how he handles the cuckoo house this season. McGinley, while not as accomplished an actor, plays Dr. Cox with such passion that you find yourself wondering if anyone else could pull the character off. These are my two favorite medical shows on TV, which is saying something considering there are about 4,356 of them on right now. Cox Clip & House Clip
   
6. Stewie Griffin (Seth McFarlane, Family Guy) - Ah, Stewie. What to say about him? I mean of all the animated characters who are intent on world domination and matricide, he is, hands down, my favorite. I don't know why I love him so much, it must be the accent. Who doesn't want to say cool stuff like, what the deuce? I know I do. They could get rid of every character on the show, and just make it a half hour of Stewie, and I don't think the quality would drop off at all. One thing I've always wondered, did Lois have a C-section? I sure hope so. Stewie Clip
   
7. Jim Halpert (John Krasinski, The Office) - What a great dude Jim is. Of all the characters, on all the shows I watch, he is probably the one I would most like to hang out with. I would love to sit and listen to him pine about Pam, or help him pull a prank on Dwight. One day I may do a list of my top ten duos, and he and Dwight will definitely make an appearance. My favorite Jim prank is the one where he made Dwight hit himself in the head with the phone by adding nickles inside the handset, little by little, to get him used to the weight, then one day took them all out. Classic stuff. I really don't think the Jim/Pam storyline get the props it deserves. It was really well done. I mean they were so close, so many times, and it just never happened. And when it did, it was awesome. It takes skill to build a story up that much, and make the payoff worth it, and they pulled it off. I'm excited to see if they finally get married this year. Halpert Clip
   
8. Spike aka William the Bloody (James Marsters, Buffy the Vampire Slayer & Angel) - In the paragraph about Angel I said that the quality of Buffy dropped off after Angel left. Well let me tell you this, if it wasn't for Spike, I don't know that I would have even continued to watch. They did so much with this character in the four years post-Angel. He was a villain, he fell in love with Buffy, she used him as her very own "stress release", he begins to fight with the good guys, and then he ends up as THE hero. Just an awesome display of acting by Marsters as well. I remember when they announced that Spike was going to join the cast of 'Angel' and I was giddy like a school girl. The chemistry between Boreanaz and Marsters was great on 'Buffy,' and only got better in their time together on 'Angel.' Marsters has been saying for years that he wants to do a Spike movie, and I say get on it. I would love to see more of him, even if it's straight to DVD. Spike Clip
   
9. Chuck Bartowski (Zachary Levi, Chuck) - I can tell you exactly why I like him as much as I do; he reminds me of me, minus the good-looking, human computer part. If my lunch with Jim Halpert needed a third, it would be Chuck. We could kick back and talk about Star Wars, play some Halo, and go save the world from Fulcrum. All in a days work, right? Who doesn't love the stories where the super geek, with the computer in his brain, gets the ridiculously hot, super-spy to fall in love with him? I am so thankful for the thousands of people who went to Subway in order to save this show. With the way they ended last season, a cancellation, would have been heart-breaking. Even though this season doesn't start until March, I still cannot wait to see how it turns out. Should be great. Chuck Clip
   
10. Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin, 30 Rock) - If they ever do an episode of How I Met Your Mother where we find out who Barney's REAL dad is, (not Bob Barker) I would imagine that Jack Donaghy would be it. As a matter of fact, I probably should have put these two together like I did House & Cox, but oh well. I don't know how many of you watch 30 Rock, judging from the ratings, not many, but it is a great, great show. Tina Fey is a phenomenal writer, and she does wonders with Jack. I've always wondered how much input Alec Baldwin has into the character. I don't know why, but I feel like he has a lot to do with the way Jack is scripted. I think it's because Jack is what I imagine Baldwin to be like in real life. I wish they would do a DVD special feature of nothing but Jack's scenes. That would be great. Ironically, I said I didn't think NPH would win the Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Emmy for Barney, and that's because Baldwin will win it for Jack. And I can't say he doesn't deserve it. Jack Clip
