Young Republicans, Drinky Crow, organ meats

They say if you can't sleep you should get up and do something, tossing and turning will do no good. So here I am. I took a nap from 11:30 until about 12:15 and now I haven't been able to get back to sleep for roughly 4 hours. So I'm here to start talking about nothing and see how it goes.

Sometimes I worry about what I write here because it'll be here forever. If there actually comes a time when I get sick of this blog and stop writing I'll probably forget to delete it and something will come back to haunt me. This should actually be my worst nightmare. You see, I feel more guilt and shame than most people, but more than anything, terrible regret. There are things I said as far back as 5th grade that I can't believe I said and I get uncomfortable thinking about them.

An excellent example, in my 7th English class, there was a discussion about the 2000 election. God knows why, what 13 year old could ever have a valid opinion on such a thing? At the time, I was a Bush supporter. Obviously this meant nothing, I couldn't vote, but I could yell about things I didn't understand. I've learned that this is how most people choose to discuss politics even far into adulthood. But I had chosen Bush because Gore would say annoying things and I liked George Bush Sr. I was a big fan of the Gulf War and had a lot more blood lust while I was younger.

So while we're debating this I've got my hand in the air, ready to say some asinine thing about why Gore sucks, that couldn't be based in less fact. I think it involved him using the term "lock box" as often as he did. While I'm waiting to be called on, only getting more angry with every word the other kids say, the girl next to me says "I don't want Bush to win, hes going to take away women's rights!"

Now, the appropriate response to this would have "No he won't, that impossible," or, "Stop being ridiculous."

But what did I scream at her? "Who cares?!"

God I hope everyone forgot about that one.

Anyway, back to random bullshit.

Here is a horrible movie that you forgot existed: Eddie Griffin in Irish Jam. A black stereotype travels to Ireland to meet 1880s Irish stereotypes.

Massive endorsement, watch The Drinky Crow Show, Sunday at 12:15am on Adult Swim. Its outstanding.

The episode "Old Girlfriend" is available in its entirety on adultswim.com right now. Some guy on IMDB called this show the "WORST 11 MINUTES EVER" but he also liked Superjail, so...

"Old Girlfriend" features cameos from Bret and Jemaine of Flight on the Conchords as aliens, in case you needed extra incentive.

Speaking of which...

As I've mentioned before, Flight of the Conchords is coming back to HBO on Sunday, January 18th, hopefully you've already seem the premier from my post the other day. They only had it up there until the 21st but someone may have put it on Youtube.

And another favorite show of mine, Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, is back on the Travel Channel Monday, January 5th at 10pm. While I never much cared for Tony Bourdain, they don't harp much on the "badass chef" thing that I find annoying and he makes on hell of a travel documentary. You spend the entire hour jealous of whatever hes doing, and hes made me want to try a lot more organ meats.

Lastly, happy Boxing Day to our potential readers in the Commonwealth of Nations(that's the countries that used to be part of the British Empire, the more you know...). I'll be celebrating by watching Arsenal lose to Villa, and then I'll probably see the Cowboys lose Sunday. Then the sports misery trifecta will be in play.

Why do I even watch anymore?
