I Saw RODNEY CARRINGTON

This weekend, my parents and I went to Cape Girardeau to see Rodney Carrington. For those uninformed, he’s a comedian/singer whose primary demographic consists of rednecks (I know I often point out my disdain for anything related to the redneck lifestyle, but I am a guy who enjoys all comedy); he’s toured all over, been in some music videos, had his own sitcom for a short time, and co-wrote and starred in “Beer for my Horses” with Toby Keith. We originally bought the tickets in April (around my birthday), but the show got moved to late October (six months, what the hell).
When we took our seats, there was a screen that was playing clips of Rodney’s best performances. Here’s an example that will make anyone smile:

When the show started, it opened with this guy Craig Peters; this guy was hilarious, and I especially enjoyed him talking about Missouri drivers( he said “I had one driver that was so angry, he threw a kitten at me”. He put on a good thirty minutes.
When Rodney took the stage, he immediately got the audience hooked. He runs on stage with this “skatin’ music” playing, and he’s like “You like that African music? You voted for four years of that shit.” Clearly he knows his audience. He ranted on subjects like sex, church, family, and the time he went to Toby Keith’s “house”. Overall, it was a good time.

I’m Going Crazy

Once again, I really have nothing to type about, so I’m just going to vent. At this time in my life, I really have nothing going for me; all there is for me to do is school and work. The only possible activities available for my current area of residence are typical redneck stuff, which as mentioned in a previous blog, is not my cup of tea (I don’t like tobacco juice in my tea). As I wait until I can transfer to a university, I keep thinking that if I don’t find anything to do, then the next two years of my life will continue to be as monotonous as the present. I feel like I’m going to go crazy if I can’t find anything enjoyable. So here’s my question: What exactly is there to do on campus? Are there any clubs for example? Any answers would be appreciated.

Also, here’s a little heads up on what I might blog about next:

-This Saturday, my parent’s and I are going to see Rodney Carrington, so that’s possible subject matter.

-If I can talk a friend into joining me, I’m going to watch The Human Centipede (If you haven’t heard of it, it’s infamously disturbing). I’m going to see how much of it I can take, and maybe even record my response.

Hollywood Stop, Just Stop

I have nothing to write about, so I’ll just rant.

As movies come and go, some turn out to be shining examples of cinematic glory, while others are crap. A lot of these movies are based on comics , cartoons, books, games, etc.; these types of movies usually turn out to be crap, usually because they don’t stay loyal to the original material, or the original material just wasn’t meant for the big screen. A while back I saw a trailer for the new Yogi Bear movie, and in the spirit of bad bear puns, I have to say that the movie looks un-BEAR-able; It’s too bad since the voice acting looked promising (Dan Aykroyd as Yogi & Justin Timberlake as BooBoo). There’s even a Smurfs movie coming out (Katy Perry as Smurfette, no telling how that’s gonna turn out) that will probably be crap. So here’s my point: Hollywood needs to stop raping America’s childhood; they should either do it right or not do it at all (please lean towards the latter). All this does is show a lack of creativity in the one place where creativity is most useful and needed. Hell, I can do a better job than these undeserving, unoriginal idiots. This concludes my brief rant on Hollywood.
