Nothing much to write about, okay, I guess there is since we just had Christmas, but for now I decided to just post a couple of pictures of myself and my family.
Myself holding my youngest nephew Luke, My older sisters Amy and Sarah, and in front my oldest nephew Cameron (very stoked for Santa)
Oldest sister Amy, her 6 year old son, my crazy nephew Cameron, and me being a moron
Me and Little Luke (15 months old). Nobody rocks a gingerbread man pj set better than him.
I loved seeing a lot of my family this past week, that's the best part of Christmas to me, and I was able to make the most of it.
Once again it's freezing in the basement of Legere Manor. But I am man enough to tough it out and cover myself in a mountain of blankets.
I feel like every second year the wonderful world of Television really spoils those of us in need of some christmas specials, and this year I do feel spoiled a bit.
I have seen quite a few of my old favorites, yet theres still a couple of them I have not seen in a while that I hope the magical land of Teletoon Retro will bring me this year.
Two of the specials I have not seen :
1. Flinstones Christmas
Now I know there are a few different Flinstones Christmas Specials. The Christmas Carol, The one when Santa breaks his leg and Fred and Barney fill in, and the newest one when they take in that juvenile delinquent who doesn't deserve the love of the Flinstones, but alas, another Christmas Miracle on TV. But this one I'm talking about is the first one, Fred became the department store Santa, and then Santa gets a cold and Fred takes over and delivers the gifts. Classic Flintstones, as you can see here Fred rocking it with Twinky and Blinky, Santa's elves.
2. A Jetson Christmas Carol
Ah A Jetson Christmas Carol, not since Alistair Sim in Scrooge has anyone played such a convincing evil character deserving to be visited by Christmas Ghosts like Mr. Spacely. If this doesn't make you think twice about your own actions then no Holiday, ahem, sorry, CHRISTMAS movie will.
If these two somehow get shown this year then I know this will without a doubt be the greatest Christmas ever.
Best Christmas Special Return EVER!:
HE-MAN and SHE-RA
A Christmas Special
I have not seen this one in so many years, yet YTV delivered the goods and brought back an insanely awesome Christmas Special from my childhood. Such a great throwback to when cartoons were actually good, I hope if you have not seen this, that it comes back on and you get to see it, cause as of right now you are missing out. It's so good that if you look closely, yes, even Skeletor is smiling in that picture. Even he could not hide his Christmas Spirit.
And as usual, my all time favorite was on again, in fact it's been on twice so far.
A Garfield Christmas Special
I can watch this one over and over again. Maybe it's because I see a lot of myself in Garfield, or maybe its the feel good moments towards the end, but this is my all time favorite Christmas Special. As surly as my favorite fat, orange cat is, even he succumbs to the wonderful magic of the Christmas Season. Simply Amazing. However, I came across a version of this special with an interesting twist on youtube. If you have not heard of Garfield minus Garfield, I'll give you a tun through. It's Garfield comics without Garfield actually in it. So it really makes Jon Arbuckle look, really pathetic.
So for you, I have Garfield Christmas, the Garfield minus Garfield edition.
My basement is freezing. I know, I know it is December and it is minus 11 outside, but if our freezer was full and we had to store away a frozen turkey we could just leave him in my bedroom and he'd be fine. Yes our frozen turkey would be male and of course he would be called Jerry...were you expecting Tom? Too predictable
It's old news now but I still want to touch on the subject of Adam Lamberts performance at the AMA's a couple weeks ago. There was such an outrage because of his onstage antics, which included kissing another guy and dragging a girl dancer around by the ankle. He was supposed to appear on CBS morning show the next day but they cancelled him. NBC said we'd love to have you on as a guest, smart thinking from them. I'll give you two guesses as to who got the better ratings for that morning slot, but you'll only need one.
Shock Rockers and Performers are not a new thing. What he did is not some new in your face schtick. Look at David Bowie, Freddie Mercury and hell even The Beatles. Get with it people, what he did is he got people talking, and in that line of work if the people ain't talkin about you, then you're finished.
I'm not a fan of his music, but I respect that he's doing his own thing and getting people to pay attention to him, Bravo Adam Lambert. Cause I know some day you will read my blog.
I was at FX 101.9 with Scott George last Thursday and Friday and I must say I've been having a blast and imagine it will continue this week as well. He's a good guy and I now know about organizing my show, Finally!
