Why You Should Watch the "The Life and Times of Tim"

Why should you watch the funniest show on television?  Well, that's just my opinion.  The Life and Times of Tim is a show that revolves around a very normal character, Tim.  His dialogue mainly consists of funny, awkward side comments.  A lot of my friends actually think that he is similar to me, except I am a lot more outgoing.  I should mention that the show is actually a cartoon with awful animation.  This actually adds to the charm of the show.  This is no Family Guy or the Simpsons, the humor in this show is extremely dry and focuses more on character interaction rather than over-the-top satire.
Tim lives with his girlfriend Amy.  She is always dissappointed in him because he is always screwing up and her friend's boyfriends seem to be going farther with their lives.  His best friend Stu is a simple man who loves The Giants, weed, and free food.  His other friend is Rodney, a hockey fanatic with a strong long island accent.  Then comes the Boss who is known as "The Boss."  The interactions between Tim and the Boss may be some of the best comedy I've seen in years.  He commonly refers to Tim as a "bottom feeder" or having a "terrible name."  Then comes my favorite character, the priest.  The priest describes himself as "uncoventional," giving communion with shots of jager.  He also has a girlfriend, which is definitely not permitted in the priesthood.  He's such an original character, which makes him one of the best.  For Halloween, I am actually dressing up as the Priest.  I could go on forever about the show, but it's better if you just watch it yourselves.  Here's a clip to get you started:

College Thursday

On my college Thursday I went to Chakrah's house to see an acoustic show.  It was great fun and reminded me of coffee house shows.  I came home from this show and find a condom lying in the hallway that leads to my apartment.  For some reason the condom reminded me of freshman year in the dorms.  I didn't expect to see one lying in the hallway off campus, but there it was.  In the dorms, they had condoms by the thousands it seemed.  The freshman dorms were great for sex.  And hopefully everyone was doing it safely because of the vast amount of condoms.

Halloween is coming!

Boo boo! Got ya! Fooled ya! Anywho, Halloween is coming around the bend like a happy, cold wind when even a 45 year old teacher can believe he is Cher for one night. The rustle of leaves trickle down the street in muted rainbows of an autumn lust. What does it mean to be someone else for one night? Would you stay that person forever? Is that the real you that no one sees? Because, I am Batman. Some people are too old to trick or treat so they replace candy wrappers for empty beer bottles. The day of the dead dances through our houses and schools and our not yet forgotten memory's surface. Let's talk about some Halloween music. For some pitch black/disturbing tunes that also rock/funk/dances my butt off, read on:

1. God Bless Your Black Heart by The Paper Chase
2. Dear God, I Hate Myself by Xiu Xiu
3. Grand Opening And Closing by Sleepytime Gorilla Museum
4. Stoner Witch by The Melvins
5. No Summr4U EP by oOoOO
6. Yahweh Or The Highway by Arab on Radar
7 . Thumb Days by Shorty
8. Long Hair In Three Stages by U.S. Maple
9. Cryptooology by Yowie
10. Erect the Youth Problem by Wives
11. The Burner by Breadwinner
12. Division Of Labor by Codeseven
13. All Lingo's Clamor by Colossamite
14. self-titled Portishead album.

And the beat goes on.

Creepy People

For some reason I've been running into a lot of creepers this week.  Maybe it's because Halloween is coming up, but it's probably pure coincidence.  I'll tell one story from this week.  Monday night I went with my friends to watch the football game over at a local sports bar called "Legends."  We go there every Monday, get beer, wings, and watch the game.  This week in particular was a special game for me.  It was the Giants vs. Cowboys.  I'm a diehard Giants fan so I was excited and nervous at the same time.
I was sitting up at the bar with two of my friends when this guy comes over and starts talking to us.  He said he's furious at all the Dallas fans in the bar and needs to get closer to the Giants crew.  Being the nice guy I am I told him he could stick around in our area, a huge mistake on my part.  I was not aware of how belligerent this guy really was.  He could barely open his eyes, I knew something was wrong.  He started rambling on about how he wanted to start a brawl with the Dallas fans.  This was an awful idea.  My friends and I played it off by telling him that it would be a terrible idea and we would get kicked out.  He seemed disappointed and then said he was joking and he would never start a brawl.  What a crazy idea?  We could not seem to get him away from our section.  My friend Jon and I, who both take French classes (he's a much better speaker), started talking in French about how we can get rid of this guy.  He understood that we were speaking French, but did not have a clue what we were saying.  I could go on all day about this guy, but what really made an impact was when he started talking about homosexuality.  He then put his arm around me and another friend and said, "I'm a homo on a mission."  Then he proceeded to tell me that he was undercover for the police department.  I think this man was just a pathological liar.  He just kept making up these ridiculous stories and then saying that he was gay, but maybe not?  I don't know.  My friends and I all got a good story out of this, but it was not comfortable.  He made everyone around him pretty uncomfortable.  According to the bartender, he frequents the bar and does the same thing all the time.  He gets really drunk and then bothers the customers.  I don't know about you, but I would not want to known as "that creepy guy."  I hope he realizes this soon.

This Week in NFL land....

This week in the NFL consisted of monstrous hits and controversial plays, leading to even bigger injuries.  This has been a hot topic in the NFL since the beginning of the season.  The question remains whether or not players should be penalized for these devastating tackles.  Here’s how it affected some of this week’s match ups:

             Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings faced the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau field this Sunday, Favre’s old stomping ground.  The controversies started in the first quarter with a touchdown pass thrown by Packers quarterback, Aaron Rogers to Andrew Quarless.  The replay clearly showed Quarless unable to hold on to the ball, and the touchdown should not have counted. However, Minnesota failed to challenge the call.  It came back to haunt them in the 2^nd quarter when Favre threw a touchdown pass to Visanthe Shiancoe that ultimately was overturned by a Packer’s challenge.  The replays revealed Shiancoe with possession.  Matters got worse for the Vikings in the 3^rd quarter when Favre was intercepted and outside linebacker Brad Jones brought him down.  Afterwards, Favre began limping and lost his momentum.  The Vikings ended up losing 28-24 and the ramifications are lingering.

            In his press conference, Favre discussed his disappointment with his performance.  He then left the podium limping.  As a result, there has been talk of Favre being benched this weekend against the New England Patriots.  Vikings backup Tavaris Jackson said that he is ready to play after watching Favre all this time.  Favre has never let injuries stop him, so this will be interesting to see.

            Another key game was on Monday night between the New York Giants and their rivals, The Dallas Cowboys.  The game started out with two early interceptions thrown the by Giants quarterback Eli Manning.  This gave Dallas an early lead.  The energy quickly shifted when Giants’ linebacker Michael Boley pummeled Cowboy’s quarterback Tony Romo to the ground.  Romo suffered an injury to his clavicle that will leave him on the sidelines for six to eight weeks.  The game ended with a score of 41-35 in favor of the Giants.  The Cowboys, who had high hopes for this season, have fallen to 1-5, diminishing their Superbowl dreams.

            Analysts have been arguing for weeks whether or not there should be penalties enforced for these major injuries.  Steve Young, the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback and ESPN analyst, has a strong opinion on this matter.  As a former quarterback who received many big hits in his career, he feels that these players should face consequences.  Other analysts feel that this will get in the way of the tradition of football.  This is an issue that could persist for some time.

            This week proved to be another interesting week with key plays and unfortunate injuries.  In the coming weeks, let’s hope these injuries are far and few between.  Regardless of the team, it is never a joy to see someone in pain.

Life is a Messy Room

Sometimes your life makes its own metaphors.  Don't worry if that doesn't make sense to you.  I'm not so sure it makes sense to me either.  Anyway, I returned to my apartment yesterday after attending my cousin Heather's wedding to find it just the way I had left it, a mess.  I can recall last week where I had so much on my plate and didn't know where to begin.  The thought was so overwhelming that I didn't begin anything that I needed to accomplish.  In my bedroom I found piles of books stacked on the floor, on my air matress, or on my desk.  What usually happens is that I find one spot where I don't want my books to be and I move them somewhere else.  This time, I don't like looking at the books in their new home and then I move them again.  This pattern continues and does not really go anywhere.  On top of that, I have a hamper full of clean laundry that I have neglected to put away for several days.  Now I see the connection.  Is my laziness and lack of cleaning a result of my responsiblities that I have yet to accomplish?  Is there a direct correlation between my messy room and my messy objectives?  It could be my imagination, but it's certainly a start.  Like mom always said, clean your bedroom.  Better yet, who wants to clean mine?

First Post. Right now.

Hello pub lick...and yes we can spell. Welcome to Loaf Eye with Charkah and E-steam. We are two music obsessed mutants with movie saturated eyes.
Right now, we are listening to a song that we collaborated on.
Right now, we feel like we are entering new space and time and whatever.
Right now it feels like the right time.
Right now I know I am doing something that I shouldn't.
Live in the right now instead of later, lazy.
The past is a dead memory singing like your window's widow.

Right now, I think the band Stereolab made me believe in music again.
Right now, both of our favorite bands are collecting animals and projecting dirty things on to our scratchy jazz lifted by our black moth wings slaying our super rainbows sleeping next to our daily broken social scene.
Welcome. N-joy.
-Love always. Chakrah and E-steam.
P.S. Music and more to come.
