This movie was sick.

I once borrowed this DVD, and someone stole it before I could watch it. Sorry, Peaches. Now, 4 years later, I've seen it, and I've enjoyed it enough to promo it to your ass.

Hi, My Name is _________


Hi! I'm Dan Phoenix. I like/love marijuana, nice cute girls and/or fast confident women, baseball and pizza. I dislike busywork and vegetables. Life is for living. Take pictures. Listen to music. Laugh out Loud. Try to understand human nature. Be understanding, if not, be tolerant. Who are You to decide what is right/wrong.

I'm English/Irish/German/Dutch/French and 2, count 'em, TWO tribes of native American, one on mom's side, one on dad's. Dad's outgoing, Mom's reclusive (divorced). I'm a strange conglomerate of a lot of ancestors I cannot imagine what they were like...Good? Evil? Lazy pot heads? (I'm talking to you, Blackfoot tribe)

I have a really big family and a lot of good friends who are spread across the USA...DC, St. Diego, Chi-town, Beantown, NYC, Gainesville, and fuckin' Arkansas...I REALLY WISH they were all closer together. True Friends are vastly underrated.

I was born a good person 10.30.83, months following a miscarriage (oops) and was a C-section...only child. Low income suburban upbringing i'd be hard-pressed to trade for anything...The Struggles we Survive make us More Apt to Survive greater struggles. It is not irreversible damage, it is merely a gauntlet of tests and quizzes.

i often feel everyday the 'good' in me is being erased. People will tell you I am kind, compassionate, and moral...
And I am, too...but the stability of these virtues is in Question, and that is what I'm writing about.

I thought you would like to try this JUNGLEorange$herbet station I created on Pandora. Just click the link below and start listening.

A friend wants to share some music with you.

Huh?

I hope you have a good day.

Actor mini-salute: James Purefoy




sheeeittt...Marc/James would've made a great STDemon...you know? that story that doesn't exist but would be a cult smash if it did? too bad i accidentally severed my ties with John Schwartz as he is up north being deified by some cult who thinks he's a messiah or something. Cool guy. Determined not to be brainwashed. Point is, HE could make STDemons a cool movie. And for anyone who knows "Faces of Death," yes, it was fake. Mostly...


RIMPau's a tool

Jungle Orangeman (8:39:32 AM): that final touchdown won me 100 bux......joy all around, Carl!
Auto Response from CarlS 88 (8:39:33 AM): 6 TIME WORLD CHAMPS
Jungle Orangeman (8:39:40 AM): that said, the patriots will maim you next year

(this is just for the record, in case I am wrong)

Also this:

FUCK THE LAKERS and Ray Allen's inability to take a smart shot with 3.0 seconds to go and getting blocked by RIMPau Gasol, the magical Spaniard. You're rich dude, shave that scruff.

And this:

Since I said he's a Tool, doesn't Pau look like one of these claymation things in this: (no, he doesn't, but he's still an ugly bullfighting androgenous purple/yellow touch-hole)




And this, just cause I'm seeing it for the first time:

Is this a fucking record or what?

SportsGuys? Alter?...Schaefer? Coop? Who knows how far one can hit the ball in MVP06, which falls into my TOP FIVE VIDEO GAMES of my life. List bound to change at ANY given moment.

5 Madden 07
4 Mario Kart 64
3 Mario Kart Double Dash or Mario Party (4, 5, 6 or 7)
2 MVP 2006 or NBA Street 2, soon to be eclipsed by NBA 2K9
1 GoldenEye OR NBA JamTOURNAMENT EDITION (features the Clintons, Beastie Boys, AND the Suns' Gorilla)

Boy, I wish "Reptile" never retired. :(

Notable omissions: Super Mario Bros., Wii Sports, Guitar Hero, Street Fighter 2, PGA Golf Tour

about your father...

s2e10: De Patre Vostro...



Wow. just 2 seasons of this? that's it? fuck. i need to time warp and either a) go back to my Peter Weller course on Roman History through Film for a second fix or b) go back in time to Rome and hope Cleopatra truly was as cute as Lyndsey Marshal.

The way they ended the show was great! much better than that turncoat David Chase's series finale...which is ONLY worthwhile IF there's ever a Sopranos movie. Speaking of which, make ROME into a movie. Its best character never dies. They cut the series 2-seasons short of finishing telling us about the fall or whatever of Octavian Caesar. And it the end, isn't the city supposed to fall to Gaul or some shit? Maaan my history knowledge is slipping.

Anyway, watch this show if you ever want to laugh, cry, and then swordfight whilst laughing/crying.




Cleopatra: Is [Titus Pullo] a good man?

(beat)
Vorenus: Define good.



Ray Stevenson should get a fucking award for that role.




The song I always hear in my mind when writing about this show. Figure it out!

February 1, 2009: Apex of Comedy


The Office was one of the Top 3 ever, namely the opening scene which had me falling off the couch with laughter. Flight of the Conchords was awesome. And my blackberry got knocked into a kiddie pool...dead.
And the Super Bowl was great for almost everyone who bet on Arizona to cover the spread. Who I feel bad for are the few that had 400 to 1 odds in September that the Cards would win the Super Bowl...Santonio Holmes may have a few man-hunters on his ass.
