Bald Eagle? Naw, Bald Wolf!

I did it, I shaved my head. I shaved it completely. All I have is a goatee. It looks really good. Everyone who has seen it so far says they like it and a lot of people said I look even more badass, so that's good. The following is a list of things I have told people who have asked me why I shaved it:
I had lice.
I enetered a Homer Simpson look-a-like contest, and took fifth out of five people.
I wanted to join my Aryan brothers and put an end to the minorities becoming the majority.
I wanted to oil it up and rub it all over your body.
I'm going to be on this week's E.R. as a hospital patient.


There may have been a couple other ones, but that is all I remember.


I watched High Fidelity the other day and of course it got me thinking of Top 5 lists, because really that's all that matters in life, what music and movies somebody likes.
Here is a list of all kinds of things I've come up with. Bear in mind that this is a list I made up as I see it, so I don't care to argue. But if you want to throw in your two cents, go for it.

Top 5 most influential albums on me, in chronological order:
1. Beach Boys "Still Cruisin'"
2. Green Day "Dookie" (Duh)
3. Blink 182 "Dude Ranch"
4. MxPx "Life in General"
5. Shai Hulud "Hearts Once Nourished..." (this album opened up more music to me)
[Editor's Note: Stone Temple Piots first 3 albums and Van Halen's Self-Titled album should probably go somewhere on here as well]

Top 5 most well constructed songs, in my humble opinion, in no particular order. I based this on how perfect the song changes are:
1. Queen "Bohemian Rhapsody"
2. Blind guardian "Mirror, Mirror"
3. MxPx "Theme Fiasco"
4. Green Day "Jesus of Suburbia"
5. Coheed and Cambria "Time Consumer"

Top 5 catchiest songs. Songs I bet anyone to listen to and not get stuck in their head afterwards:
1. Piebald "American Hearts"
2. Slick Shoes "Friday Nite"
3. MxPx "Get With It"
4. Weezer "Buddy Holly"
5. Ramones "Blitzkreig Bop"

Top 5 songs that pump me up (as of this moment):
1. Beloved "Death to Traitors"
2. Areosmith "Sweet Emotion"/ Whitesnake "Here I Go Again"
3. Rancid "Maxwell Murder"
4. Shai Hukud "For the World"
5. Reel Big Fish "Big Star"

Top 5 albums I could listen to over and over again and not get sick of:
1. Rancid "...And Out Comes the Wolves"
2. MxPx "Life in General"
3. Beach Boys "Greatest Hits"
4. Reel Big Fish "Why Do They Rock So Hard?"
5. New Found Glory "Self Titled"

Top 5 movies of all time (or of how I feel right now):
1. This is Spinal Tap
2. A New Hope (I know most people debate if Empire or Jedi is better, but I like the original the best, until Episode 3 comes out!)
3. High Fidelty
4. Tommy Boy
5. Dumb and Dumber

Top 5 Words from a movie. This means a single word from a movie which either sticks out or is the cause of a memorable (that is, funny) scene:
1. High Fidelity - "Yet"
2. Saving Silverman - "Comingtoyaaahaaaa!"
3. A Mighty Wind - "Almost"
4. Ghostbusters - "Biblical"
5. This is Spinal Tap - "Eleven"

Top 5 historical figures:
1. Jesus Christ
2. Abraham Lincoln
3. Martin Luther
4. Martin Luther King Jr.
5. George Washington (he did set the precedent for being President!)

Top 5 influential funny people on me:
1. Bill Murray (this is definitely as of this moment, but also when I was growing up watching movies he was in, I just think his delivery is perfect)
2. Al Jean (based solely on the shows he has written for)
3. David Lettermen (smartass, definitely one of the big ones who made me a smartaa)
4. Conan O'Brien (smart AND self deprecating humor)
5. Dan Akroyd/Steve Martin (subtle and wacky humor)


Top 5 favorite television shows of all time:
1. The Simpsons
2. Saturday Night Live (best years for me probably 89-94/95, but ALL other years were good also)
3. All in the Family
4. The A-Team (when I was growing up this was on of my favorites, so I have to include it)
5. That 70's Show

Top 5 favorite television shows that I've gotten into recently or have only come out recently:
1. Conan O'Brien (Since I've been in college that is)
2. Arrested Development
3. Venture Bros.
4. Futurama (Surprisingly I rarely watched it when it was originally on, I think because they were constantly changing the scheduling of it)
5. Mr. Show

Well that's it for Top 5's for now, hope you enjoyed getting inside my head a little bit.



In other news.
I hung out with Greg Saturday. He, Dan and I went and got a beer at Cole's. Then Greg and I played some T.H.U.G. 2 which was a lot of fun.


Three classes and four exams stand between me and winter break!!

This may be my last entry until after Winter Break, we'll see. If it is, hope you all have a nice holiday.


Random:

Listen to Metal!

Neil Diamond

I also think Kevin Smith is a funny guy.

The Tick was another hilarious show that I loved [the cartoon!!]. I hope they put it out on DVD.

The last three nights I've had very real, vivd dreams. However the only one I can remember is the first one which was me on stage with New Found Glory singing with Chad. Then after the concert we all hung out at a house I owned that looked a lot like my grandparent's house. Then Chad stole my hat and I chased after him....Yeah, I know, I'm gay.
