I'm supposed to start saving money in case my car ever breaks down. It had this problem twice where I turned it off and turned it back on and it wouldn't start. Not the end of the world for me but if it stops turning on at all it might cost a lot of money, maybe even more than the car is worth with my luck. I've also gotta get a cheap camera for filming sketches for my film company for around $500 by the end of summer or sooner if I can. Another thing I want to get is a small table to put next to my desk to write notes on or practice drawing. My desk now is pretty packed with all my computer equipment, I guess I could put the tower on the floor but that would just be an inconvenience in the long run. I really want to start drawing comics again soon. I used to a lot when I was little in elementary school, mostly wrote and drew short stories that I would read in class and I still have a few which is cool. Also used to draw actual comics about me and my friends which I long ago threw out since they were kind of vulgar for my age which is kind of embarrassing but I really liked them as a kid and kind of wished I still had them to look at. I wonder if my drawing skills have gotten better or worse over the years? Probably worse since I haven't taken an art class since middle school I think.

Hippie Mall Sketch idea

For this series we're working on in Swoof, we do these mini Fry & Laurie inspired sketches with people in a mall setting making commentary on stupid things. You have the the stoner that is on the weed diet, "All weed, all day." The business man that talks his life away into a bluetooth. The husband and wife that are annoyed at a sales clerk. Basically your everyday douchebags that are found in the world we live in. I've been toying with one that's an old guy that is a hippie from the seventies but I just can't get the joke right. The joke is in there but I don't know if I've got it. Any thoughts?

OLD HIPPIE DOUCHE
Man, back in the day selling weed was like a real job. You couldn't put it on your tax return or anything but people respected you for it. Nowadays, previous job title "Drug Dealer" doesn't go over to well when filling out an application. I mean man, what gives?

Unedited Whopper Virgins taste test

We've put together a couple of new videos over at our YouTube channel www.youtube.com/dotswoof parodying the Burger King "Whopper Virgins" commercials. Comment and rate them, they're pretty damn funny.

You just got Soup'd!

Super Bowled

Every year, no matter who's playing, I watch the Super Bowl. Most people do this for some reason, I've never really understood why. Is it the commercials? Is it a family event? Or are they just looking to get smashed over some buffalo wings? I know one guy from work that doesn't even watch sports but watched Super Bowl. I guess it's just something you've gotta do. The game itself was entertaining enough even if nobody noteworthy was in it. Yes, the Steelers have the most Super Bowl wins now but ask me if I care about the Boston Celtics and then we'll continue this conversation.

The commercials weren't great but they weren't awful either. The "If you hate your job" one was probably my favorite since we somehow missed the One Second Miller High Life commercial, which was my main reason for watching the Super Bowl in the first place. Aliens vs Monsters looks amazing and so does the new Star Trek movie but I'm still not to sure about Transformers 2. What is it about? Who's in it? Who's that big ass robot at the end of the trailer? I guess they really want you to see Friday the 13th to find out (which does look awesome anyway). It also seemed like NBC dropped the ball with most of their commercials. Like, the Chuck in 3D ads were awesome but the ones with Heroes characters making fun of themselves singing was pretty weak especially since Heroes really isn't in the position to be making fun of themselves. Although, the Heroes football commercial was pretty good; if only for a flying John Elway towards the end.

The Super Bowl is kind of meh sometimes and I guess this year proved that. But that doesn't mean it sucked. Following the Super Bowl from last year any Super Bowl would be meh other than a rematch. Hopefully next season we'll see the Giants back in it.

New Years Resolutions

Every year we're expected to come up with New Years Resolutions as part of peer pressure and the constant nagging in the back of our heads telling us to get into shape (for real this year!). Whoever came up with the notion to come up with life changing motivations after a long night of drinking had to obviously been drinking all night when coming up with the notion of New Years Resolutions. It's not that New Years Resolutions aren't a bad thing, I actually think they're wonderful ideas but who really keeps with theirs for long? Americans are stubborn and don't give up bad habits easily. For example, I've been telling myself for years that I need to get back into shape if I ever want to get laid. Instead of actually doing it I use excuses like, "It's cold out," or, "I'll do it another day." Now that probably has nothing to do with my New Years Resolution to get into shape but I'm going to blame it on that; not on laziness or laziness.

There are also the people that say they need to go on a diet as their resolution. They either stop eating entirely or get off the wagon only a few weeks into the diet. What's the point then? Well, that was their New Years Resolution so they had to at least try. Why don't people make easy New Years Resolutions? Like, "I will feed my dog every day," or how about, "I won't kill anybody this year!" Those should be pretty easy to pull off. Instead we spend thousands of dollars on exercise equipment that sits in the corner after being used once while we sit on the couch watching Scrubs eating Kentucky Fried Chicken. It's a real shame, a real fucking shame.

I'm not really sure if I'm complaining about New Years Resolutions or overweight lazy Americans. I honestly don't care about either since my New Years Resolutions never last more than a day, since masturbating is quickly scratched off the list and the above listed exercising is usually put off until the Spring where it never actually occurs. But hey! Maybe this year I'll really put on a six pack. A six pack of beers.

New Blogxors

Hey everyone reading this. I used to have a blog on my MySpace.

http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.ListAll&friendID=105745659

I actually just updated it but I'm done with it. I'll be posting my thoughts, rants, and opinions here from now on. I'll repost my most recent rant here shortly. Other than that let me tell you a little about myself.

I'm 21 years old and work at RadioShack as a sales clerk. It's pretty terrible, trust me. I work as the "Producer" of a video production company with my friends Bijan Mousavi and George Lampard (www.dotswoof.com) where I "produce" stuff. I also do some editing, voice work, and acting which is fun. I'm also big fan of cartoons, ie - Looney Tunes, Freakazoid, Frisky Dingo, Cowboy Bebop. Coffee is pretty awesome too, especially Wawa coffee. I also enjoy the smell of ciggerettes but don't smoke; I'm what I guess you would call a Second Hand Smoker, George is also one if I recall. That's about it though.

I also like complaining in length about stupid bullshit which is what most of this blog will contain. Just a heads up is all.
