Finding the Good in Everyday Life
To people in their 70s and 80s, I'm just a kid. To people under 30, I'm ancient. I've been told I'm part of that lost Generation X, whatever that is. I suppose I do kind of consider myself to be "old," in that I have no idea what Millennials and Generation Z (is that the [...]
Gonna keep going down this music video reactions rabbit hole, because I'm weird like that. This time, I want to talk about a guy who goes by "Jamel_AKA_Jamal" (his name is Jamel but a lot of people apparently get mixed up and call him Jamal). When I started watching a lot of music video reactions, [...]
One of the things that I miss most about the time before the pandemic is when I would be gone from my dogs for a few days or weeks and then come home. Talk about feeling loved. I mean, I LOVE it when my dogs go nuts and greet me, and jump all over me, [...]
I’m still slightly in New Year’s mode, and almost every year around this time we watch When Harry Met Sally, because it's got that New Year's ending. But I don’t just like to watch movies; I like to know as much about the movies that I enjoy. Now, a lot of people already know some [...]
Like thousands of other people surfing the Internet, in the summer of 2020, I saw a viral video of two young men listening to “In the Air Tonight” by Phil Collins. Their reaction was priceless, especially when the famous drum solo hit a couple of minutes into the song. As Marie Kondo would say, "It [...]
The better the song, the better the musical flash mob. So man, you can't do a whole lot better than "Seven Nation Army" by the White Stripes. A group called CityRocks in Hungary put this together with 500 musicians of all ages. Have ya ever seen so many drum sets in one place? CityRocks formed [...]
Maybe the reason I like this musical flash mob video so much is because I love both Electric Light Orchestra and this song. Someone obviously took the footage of different flash mobs (e.g., Liverpool Street Station in London in 2009, which was used in a T-Mobile ad) and just merged them with the song. Doesn't [...]
The countdown of my 10 favorite Seinfeld episodes continues (see 10 - 6 here). #5 The Boyfriend—aka Vandelay Industries (1992) This is such a great episode. Guest starring Keith Hernandez as Elaine’s (and Jerry’s) potential boyfriend, you get two legendary scenes. One is the magic loogie, and the other is Vandelay Industries. Fun Fact: In [...]
For a lot of people, me included, “Seinfeld” rises above the plethora of other sitcoms in TV history. It’s really hard for me to be channel surfing, see that an episode of “Seinfeld” is on, and not stop to watch it. And after lots and lots of really important thinking, here are my 10 favorite [...]
I remember first hearing about flash mobs several years ago when they seemed to be somewhat of a trend around the world. At the time I just kind of shrugged and thought, Well that's kind of weird. But in the years since, I've come across a few videos of musical flash mobs that I thought [...]
