An Indepth Look Into A Geek's Soul

It's another instalment of the top ten list folks.  This time we are doing holidays.  Why?  Well, it's Memorial Day!  So in honor of Memorial Day, we'll go ahead and see just what holidays make me happy.

Number Ten:  Columbus Day

Ah yes, Columbus Day.  This may seem like a weird choice to start off the list with.  Let me explain to you why.  You see, every Columbus Day, the library gets the day off.  That's right, no working for me when I worked at the library back then.  You better believe that we'd have to work every other day of the year, but we'd get Columbus Day off.  And I loved that.  And I still do.  I observe it every year by thinking about how different this world would be if he never got here.  And it normally ends up looking like very tan and rather more organic.

Number Nine:  Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Again, a crazy pick.  And this runs along the same lines as the one above this.  MLK Day coming around, and booya, no school for southern Maryland kids.  Now, I'm not so sure about the rest of the United States, cause I know for a fact that up here in Michigan they don't get it off.  And I laugh at them.  It's the easiest day off in the world, and it's all because of black people suffering.

Number Eight:  St. Patrick's Day

Ah yes, St. Patrick's day.  I just like this day because it's a day that it's okay to get completely wasted and it would be totally fine.  Plus, it gives me a good reason to whip out my green library shirt and not too terribly much like a dork.  I've always had fun on these days, plus giving that cute girl in class a light pinch was always fun.  Oh, when doing such things wasn't concerned sexual harassament.

Number Seven: Fair Day

FAIR DAY!!!  Fair day is lots of fun.  Now, I don't think we got it off when I was in school, though I could be very wrong about that.  I justed like that students could get in for a damn good price.  I always liked the fair, even if it was the supreme expemplar of white trash.  And this is the good old Southern Maryland white  trash too.  Though, if any of you are ever in northern Michigan during the fair season, they have an awesome song that plays on the radio.  Going to the fair....

Number Six:  Thanksgiving

This day is just so great because you can have lots and lots and lots of food.  Seriously, if you like food, this is one of the great days of the year.  The number one reason I like this day though is because of how much pumpkin pie is to be found.  I love pumpkin pie, so much so that it bumps up this holiday to number six.  Definitely my favorite pie.  Plus, seeing the family is always fun.  Yay for good times.

Number Five:  Pi Day

This is the one math related holiday on the list.  On this day, you just sit around, eat pie, and make really bad math jokes all day, all in the name of that wonderfully irrational number of pi.  I think the best Pi Day I've ever celebrated was in my Junior year.  My entire math class just sat around, eating pie, and generally having a good time, trying to say pi to the farthest digit.  I even have a pi day shirt.  I didn't do so good, but whatever.

Number Four:  Fourth of July

I love the fireworks.  Every Fourth of July I would set off with my family to the local fair grounds (where another of my favorite holidays is also held) and grab a spot on  grass to lay our beach towels and wait an hour or so before the fireworks began.  And then the fireworks begins!  BOOM!  CRASH! WHISTLE!  Ah, if there is one holiday on this list that is purely American, it is the 4th of July.  We're showing that we kick ass by shoting crap into the hair.  It always puts a smile on my face.

Number Three:  New Year's Eve

New Year's Eve is the second of the drinking holidays up here.  Yes, it's a ay to get out with your friends and bring in the new year, but really, people just sit around, stay up past midnight, getting drunk and shotting off noise makers and trying to get lucky.  But, you know, it also brings people together, and as sappy as it is, I would love to be one on of those guys who propose to their girlfriend at the stroke of midnight.  Or at the very least I would love to kiss someone at midnight.  The only girl I've been with at midnight is someone I'm related too.  Even Amanda didn't want to see me at midnight.  Oh well though, it'll happen one day.

Number Two:  Halloween

Halloween is such a good holiday.  You get to go up to strangers and ask them for candy.  Man, few things beat that.  Oh sure, you always had that one house that gave out crap things, but at least they gave you that pencil, or that toothbrush.  It's still a fun day to get out and dress up as a Vulcan and just rock the entire neighborhood.  It's like a step below LARPing, only it's socially acceptable.  Plus, it gives girls a good reason to dress in far too skimpy outfits and parade around in them.  And I'm never against girls being a pirate whore.

Number One:  Christmas

Come on, what did you honestly think was going to take the top spot?  Of course it was going to be Christmas.  Nothing beats getting presents under the tree.  Yeah, we all know Santa is someone sitting within five feet of you, but that's alright.  We get to sit next to each other, smiling the morning away, and opening up things that we really want, even if just because we like getting stuff.  And I know some of us love giving stuff too.  Like me.  I would give everyone I know thousands of dollars worth of gifts if I have the money and they would let me.  Seriously, this is such a good holiday.  It's so great, even the Muslims love it.  And that's saying something.

So there you have it guys.  Christmas beats all.  And I think most people would agree with me.

Peace Out.

Yeah, you heard it guys.  It's just going to be a free trial type of thing for now, seeing as I have no money, but it's nice.  I've just had this urge to play it so badly lately.  It's crazy.  So I downloaded the free trial and decided to give it a go.  I created a Human Paladin named Corath.  Hell yes.  That's the first time I've ever been able to use that name.  For whatever reason, it's always taken by someone else.  Damn them.

He's like level 7 right now I think.  Maybe level 6.  He's kicking some nice amount of ass right now.  Well, a nice amount of ass for a level 6 or 7 guy at least.  I'm going for a more protection speced guy, so he's rocking a shield and a sword right now.  I was on my way to go learn how to mine and smelt stuff, but alas, the game decided to freeze on me.  That's okay though, as I was almost ready to get off anyways.  They have a new way of downloading the game, where it downloads while you are playing it.  That's amazing.  Normally it takes like half a day to get the game to load the first time.  Not anymore.  Booya.

Anyways, that's all for tonight.  Oh, and the Caps are totally getting their asses kicked, if I'm reading my twits and facebook statuses correctly.

Peace Out.

Guys, today ended up being a fantastic day.  Like seriously, I don't know what happened, but Avandra was on my side today and was all "Jon, have some good in your day."  And I did.  Sorry if you all had a bad day.  It seems the majority of the people I talked to today weren't having the best day.  I'm thinking that means that I took all the wonderful days you guys were going to have, and channeled it into one beautiful, wonderful evening.  And that was on top of me working too.  Booya people, ini your face.  Also, I apologize for your lack of a great day.

I was on fire at work today.  Like seriously.  Fire was all over my hair, smoke pouring out of my ears, eyes full of rage, the whole deal.  It was like I was a fire elemental or something.  Only a bit cooler, because well, I was a Jon elemental, the most powerful of all elementals.  Sorry all your other elementals.  You're just not cut out for the raw awesomeness that is Jon.  But seriously, I was selling Geek Squad servies left and right.  I get them on 4 of the 7 laptops I sold.  That's just crazy.  It's been forever since I did that good.  Booya.

In other slightly funny news that is also slightly not funny, my friend Anna has mono.  That has got to suck rather hard.  Guess that means no more making out with her anymore.  Gosh.  You've got to be careful who you randomly make out with.  Yep, Anna, I'm cutting you off.

Also, brief shout out to Jen.  You made my day with that comment.  Damn right.  You topped my already awesome day!  I'll let you make your own title for that momentous feat.  Something like, Queen Jen, Bringer of Happiness and Good Times, or some equally grand and unnecessarily long title.

Also, Joel, you get a shout out just becauseI haven't mentioned you for a bi.  I totally got the time off to come down for the summer.  Sweet.

Enough ramblings damn it! Time to read the Bible!

Peace Out.

Yep, I like mixing things up ohahn you guys.  Forget about something manmade, we're going with what nature gave us:  colors.  Yeah, man gave them their names, but they existed long before we did.  So without anymore ramblings, here is my top 10 favorite colors.

Number Ten:  Purple

Yeah, purple is rounding out the top of the list.  Well, the bottom of the list.  Food wise, it's my least favorite you see, but purple always has held a certain sway over me.  Maybe it's becasue my highschool had purple as one of its colors or because purple represents royalty, and well, DnD needs lots of princes and such so it just rubs off on you when designing lots of dungeons that nobody is going to be playing.

Number Nine:  Yellow

You know, I rather like this color just because it's nice and bright.  Nothing wrong with that.  Now, I know plenty of people who absolutely hate this color, especially when it comes to cars.  I'll agree with that for the most part.  But yellow makes me happy.  It is the color of the sun after all.  And Asians.  And reall, Asia gave us Pokemon, so that can't be all bad anyways.  Plus, Pikachu is yellow, and that's one of the best electric guys in the whole game.

Number Eight:  Brown

Ah yes, the rich and  noble brown.  To me, brown always symbolized the tough and strong side of life.  You can't help but see brown everywhere in life.  Trees are brown, dirt is brown, hell, even the carpet here is brown.  Plus, light brown is the color of sand, and sand is nice in the summer.  Yes, brown just gives me a nice sense of the outdoors, and really, I like being outside even though I burn far too easy.

Number Seven:  Orange

I blame my love of this color on Amanda.  It was her favorite color, and it just kind of rubbed of on me.  I mean, I've even had my favorite color of candies change because of that girl.  Orange has moved up a notch, now its just below yellow for my favorite kinds of candy.  Plus, orange if done right just looks awesome.  Like the above picture.  Everyone likes orange I think, deep down inside.

Number Six:  White

Ah yes, white.  It's so pure, so pristine, so me.  This color is the color of good.  And as people know, I like being the good guy, no matter how much I like killing stuff.  White is just such a good color.  It reminds me of home to tell you the truth.  We mostly had white walls growing up, and even now, most places I've lived have had the same walls.  It's just a nice color to live in.  Plus, white people rock.

Number Five:  Gray

Gray to most people seems so impersonal, so hard, so cold.  And that's exactly the reason I like it.  A lot of my favorite monsters in DnD are gray, you know, like the stone giant.  Just an amazing group of monsters.  There is only one thing I hate about the color:  is it gray or grey?  I could have sworn as a kid that it was grey, but nowadays, it seems to be wrong.  What happened?  AH!

Number Four:  Red

Red is such an angry color, which is probably why I like it.  I rage a lot at the world, much like Raging Goblin did.  Plus, it's the color of life.  The color of warmth.  One of the colors that reminds everyone that it's Christmas time.  Plus, I think red is the most versitale of colors.  You see, it can go with any other color.  Black and red?  Great.  Green and red?  Even better.  Blue and red?  You get number 10.

Number Three:  Blue

Blue, the color of freedom.  At least to me it is.  You see, it's the color of the sky, and the color of the water.  Combine the two, and what do you get?  The horizon.  And what's at the edge of that?  Freedom.  It's just a calming color all aroud, and it's probably the coolest color flame too.  Really, few things are better than a clear sky and a cool lake to go swimming in.  Speaking of which, I'm doing lots of that this summer.  Naked.  HA.  Too late, that picture is in your head.

Number Two:  Green

I love that picture by the way.  But no, green is a great color.  I'm wearing green right now in fact.  This is another calming color to me. Plus, it looks amazing in backgrounds.  You know what else it reminds me of?  The Matrix.  Great movie, great color.  Are you liking these reasons yet?

Number One:  Black

Ah yes, the dark, the mysterious, the elegant, black.  I think that black is just one of those colors that most people like.  Yeah, it gets a bad rep from time to time.  Oh, black, it's so despressing, those terrible goths wear it, and it's so emo.  Shut up you people.  It's a great color.  It looks great on anyone, it's slimming, and there is a power there.  Plus, women look good in that little black dress they have in their closet.  So yeah, black is the best.  Plus, black people are hilar.

Yeah, there is no reason at all for the list of this.  But hey, black rocks.  Hell yes.

Peace Out.

So, I've been thinking a lot lately about the usual stuff, you know, Life, The Universe, and Everything.  But Everything also involves a good section of myself as well, and thinking about myself is one thing that I find so easy to do but at the same time, I really hate doing it.  I have this awesome ability to be blind to everyone else's problems, but to tear open mine like it's a piece of wet paper.  Not only do I tear them open, I also tend to create entirely new ones that don't even exist.  I just pluck them out of the air, like I was some pessimistic wizard of immense power.

Now, I'm not sure why I'm writing about this right now.  It's a wonderful day out right now, and I really should be outside doing something... outdoorsy.  Like riding my bike.  Actually, I probably will do that in a bit to be honest.  Until then, I'll just be emo for a bit and listen to Pandora.  I might be thinking like this because I'm paranoid.  Seriously, I'm a lot more paranoid than almost all of you will realize.  You may not know this, but I'm actually the cause for all of your problems.  It's my fault, in some weird, totally indirect way.  It was me.  I'm sorry about it all too.  I just can't pin problems on other people, I have a hard time doing it.  You could clearly be in the wrong, but it's my fault.  It's my fault that Amanda broke up with me, my fault that I have no confidence, and my fault for a great many things that have happened to my closer friends.  Crazy, isn't it?

Yeah, see, you're probably smiling right now, cause you think that the last little bit you just read was rather sarcastic and silly and over the top.  But he's the terrible truth:  I wasn't being sarcastic there. Like, not even a little bit.  Honest.  I really do think Amanda broke up with me becasue I wasn't a good enough boyfriend (which I wasn't) and now she hates me because of it.  No, I don't dwell on it as much as I had been known to, but it still creeps up on me.  You know, I still sleep with the bunny I bought her for our 2 year anniversary.  Crazy isn't it?  2 years.  And we almost made it that entire time.  Just like, 5 days away.  She says it's okay to call it 2 years, I think that's kind of cheating, but I'll do it because it makes me feel like I have accomplished something.  Haha, I'm a wreck.  I need to go find a new girl.  Now if only I could talk to one with freezing up....

I think I'll go submit this entry to failblog now...

Peace Out.

It was a wonderful day out today.  Like seriously, it was just about as perfect as possible.  It was something like 75 degrees out, sunny, and the wind was blowing at just the right speed to cool down everything when you're outside.  I even rode my bike today, though I've been trying to do that more lately.  You know, watching the weight and everything like that.

Speaking of riding my bike though, I took it up to the park that's nearby (I forget what it's called now) and rode it around some there.  The bike's tires are a little flat, but I deal with it.  I found this cool hiking trails back up in the woods there.  I think I'll have to figure out where they all end up something later this week.  I rode a couple of them, and wasn't lost.  Not yet.  Give me some time, I'll end up getting lost, being all, "WHERE THE HELL AM I?" and freaking out.  Then realize I just need to turn around to get back where I came from.  Some of the trails end up in people's backyards, so I need to figure out which ones are okay to take and which ones are.

The biggest thing I'm waiting for right now is the water to be warm enough to start swimming.  I'll be living on the lake this summer, so I mean, why the hell shouldn't I?  I suppose I could go swimming now, it just gets kind of cold at night, so I don't know what that does to the temperature of the water.  I should probably ask my mom about that.  My grandpa's answer was rather vague and not really on topic.  He's a silly one sometime.

Anyways, I'm hungry.  I'm going to go make some grilled cheese.  Catch you guys later.

Peace Out.

In celebration of Star Wars Day, this list shall be dedicated to my top ten favorite Star Wars characters, from the movies, games, comics, books, everything.  Please, feel free to disagree with me.

Number 10:  Princess Leia

Yep, Princess Leia.  And really, the only reason I like her is because she looks halfway decent in the slave girl outfit.  Yes, she does have her moments: it takes a lot of balls to kiss your own brother just to stick it in Solo, but she was able to pull it off.  I think her character got a lot better in the Extended Universe though, after the movies.  She's actually a forceful and Force wielding powehouse, as opposed to just being angry at everyone.  Though, she does have the exclusive honor of being the only chick on the countdown. Good for her.

Number Nine:  Luke Skywalker

Next we have the brother of Leia, the awesome and talented Grand Master himself, Luke Skywalker.  He use to be my favorite Jedi by far, no one could come close.  Then, I got to thinking, and while he's cool and super powerful, he's not my favorite.  Not by far.  He is an amazing Jedi though.  He's the reason why I've always wanted a green lightsaber too.  He's another character that really shines in the Extended Universe novels.  Yes, he's the leader of the New Jedi Order, and because of this isn't always involved in the fights like he used to be. He's a bit more careful, a bit more wise.  However, when he fights, it's like he's the entire universe, bottled up into one amazing little bottle of skill.  Definitely a great character, even if he's a little whiney when you first meet him.

Number Eight: Teemto Pagalies

I think this one might surprise a couple of you.  And the others will probably be like, who the hell is Teemto Pagalies?  Let me tell you:  he's the single coolest podracer ever.  Like, by a mile and a half.  Yeah, he dies in the movie, so what?  He was always my favorite podracer in the game Star Wars Podracer.  I've beaten the entire game with him a couple of times, and then beat the entire sequel with him as well.  He's just hardcore.  Plus, he has one of the longest pods on the circuit.  Next time you're watching The Phantom Menace, check him out.  He's pretty much a raw pimp, right up until he gets shot by some Sand People.

Number Seven:  Emperor Palpatine

Ah yes, the mastermind behind the movies, Darth Sidious.  He's fairly cool, for being an evil dude.  Definitely an evil genius, and you always need one of those on your list.  I think the coolest thing about him is the fact that you get to see him shot lightning.  And I love lightning.  That one power alone would be enough to sway me to the dark side.  He's pretty hardcore though.  I mean, he killed his Master, had at least three apprentices, and was able to come back from beyond the grave.  Mind you, it was with the use of clones, but hey, he cloned himself!  Mad props to that.  Plus, his bodyguards wore red cloaks.  Not sure why he had guars, seeing as how he was a raw beast, but hey, anyone who can defeat Yoda in lightsaber combat is allowed to do whatever the hell he wants.

Number Six:  Admiral Ackbar

IT'S A TRAP!

Number Five:  Mace Windu

Ah, Mace Windu.  Perhaps the greatest warrior of the Old Republic.  Plus, he's black and has a purple lightsaber.  Seriously though, he invented Vaapaad.  That's just a badass technique.  He had this one cool Force ability too, that I think might be unique to him.  He was able to see fracture points in the force, which were like, realy big turning points surrounding a person or an object.  Almost like seeing into the future, but not really.  Anyways, he's a great warrior.  I like him just for the sheer power he has.  I'm not sure why he's higher up on the council than Yoda, but hey, that's okay.  Affirmative action at it's finest if you ask me.

Number Four:  Han Solo

Han Solo is just the pimp of the Star Wars universe.  He is just able to cause so  much havoc and mayhem, and at the same time, kick so much ass.  He's a wiz with that pistol of his, plus he flies the second coolest ship in the galaxy.  He has the single greatest line in the universe too.  "I know."  Can you say pimp?  Yeah, you can.  Plus, for as rough and tumble as he is, he still takes the death of loved ones super hard.  The man is a legend, in any galaxy.  Plus, he's sexy.

See?

Number Three:  Yoda

It's Yoda dude.  He has to be on the list.  Seriously though, out of all the charcters, he's my favorite green one.  He changes the most out of all the characters too.  He's wise and powerful in the new trilogy, and all man hermit in the original trilogy.  Wicked funny though.  I was one of the happiest people in the world when he wiped out his lightsaber in episode 2 and fought Count Dooku.  Plus, in Episode 3, when he's fighting the clones outside the Jedi Temple, he unleahses complete and utter kick ass all over those clones.  And it's amazing.  And that's why he is here.

Number 2:  General Grievous

General Grievous is my favorite villian of all time.  No joke.  Oh, yeah, I know, I get a lot of flak because I like him more than Darth Vader, but this guy is a real Jedi Killer.  The original one.  Plus, he's part robot.  And he has at least 4 lightsabers.  And he can use them all at the same time.  I was flipping out during that fight scene with Obi Wan.  Seriously, I would have been perfectly fine with Grievous winning that fight.  He is amazing.  Cyborgs for the win.

Number One:  Obi Wan Kenobi

Obi Wan Kenobi.  The man, the mth, the legendary vanquisher of General Grievous.  This man slowly grew on me.  I didn't like him so much at first, but as the I rewatched the movies, I've become a huge fan of his.  He's so dedicated to his cause, and yet he has the hardest time going against his friends when he knows there is good in him.  Seriously guys, if I could be any Jedi, I would be Obi Wan.  He's super laid back, but according to Mace, he's the best fighter that the Order has.  He's just amazing all around.  There is simply no better character in all of Star Wars.

So there you have it.  The best of the best in the Star Wars universe. May the Force be with you all.

Peace Out.

So, I've randomly seen into various people's habitats lately, and what I've seen is rather not what I expected.  People seem to live rather clean lives.  Now, from some people, I totally understand that.  I mean, I just randomly saw into Sam's living area because I happened to click on some link she posted on her facebook.  It was a weird site by the way, some techno thing where people chatted and listened to some guy do his DJ thing and they also had some webcams up and what not.  Yeah, not for me, that's for sure.  Still, it took me like time to realize that Sam was one of the girls with the webcam up.  First it shocked me, then I was like, her little corner of the world looks awesome.  And a bit neater than I would have expected, knowning what few things I know of her.

Probably the bigger shocker I got yesterday though, when I went to Free Comic Day at Top of the Ninth with Chris.  You see, we stopped by his apartment first, to pick up his little brother.  I was expecting to find something along the lines of a decent bit of clutter, seeing as how he never seemed to be one to be all the clean.  I was totally shocked to find that his apartment was damn near spotless.  Even his room was clean.  I just didn't expect that of him at all.  He's not exactly a slob, he just comes off as not caring about picking up, like it's not the first thing on his do to list.  Plus, his car was kinda messy, not filthy, just sorta messy, like most cars.  And I assumed that his house was going to be like that.

I guess what I'm saying is that from what little I've seen of these people's room, I've gotten such a grasp of their personality.  Chris has these comics, nice, old ones, I think like the first issues of various series, framed and hanging on his wall.  Sam had some random ass poster of what I think was a band on the part of the wall I can see.  And both were totally a lot cleaner than I expected.

It just makes me think about my place, you know?  Well, my room at my grandpa's at least.  It's not very clean, though I have been picking up lately.  What does that mean exactly?  That I'm a slob?  That I don't care about myself?  That I see myself as a piece of trash?  Is my room really all that personal at all?  In a way, I suppose it's personal in that cheesy, high school way.  I have lots of posters up, almost all of them being rooted in the the realm of fantasy.  My legos are at the front of the room.  My desk faces a window.  A geek who wants to get outside?  Is that what my room says about me?  Hell if I know.  I just know I need to clean up some more.

And here you thought this was going to super emo.  Nope, it's only mildly so.

Peace Out.

This last school semester ended for me on Thursday.  That's right, no more school for something like 4 months or something.  That is just freaking awesome.  School wasn't hard this semester or anything, in fact it was a cake walk, but I'm still glad it's done.  I liked most of my classes this semester, probably more than the other students in those classes.  Sure, there will be one or two people that I'll miss talking to me, like Ashley, but hey, she didn't show up to the last day of class anyways, so she probably didn't really like talking to me that much anyways.  I'm not sure what my grades are yet, I don't think they'll be posted until around the 7th, so what's that?  Friday or something?  Yeah, I think that is the date.

The classes I plan on takinig next semester are Accounting Principales, Economics, Calculus 2, and English 112.  I know, exciting stuff isn't it?  I don't remember if I told all of you guys or not, but I switched my major to accounting.  Yeah, I'm pretty hardcore like that.  I'm going to be an accountant.  Suck on that asronomers.  Yeah, I still love astronomy, and I'll probably be outside at night all the time this summer, but accountanting is going to help me a lot more in that so called real world that I'm looking forward to yet am absolutely terrified of.

In a random off topic paragraph, the Top of the Ninth was holding a Free Comic Book day.  Hell yeah.  I went with a couple of guys from work, and I got some more Knights of the Old Republic, issues #9, #19, and #20 I believe, as well as some nice freebies.  I don't remember all of them, but I know one of them was the Avengers.  It was told through the point of Spiderman, which is alright I suppose.  He definitey has a way different attitude from the other superheroes.  That's for sure.

Peace Out.

That's right folks, it's time for the top ten list once again.  I'm sure this one will create just as much controversy as the first one, but hey, that' what all good bloggers do isn't it?  So, without further ado or more time wasting, here are my top ten favorite TV shows as of right now.

Number Ten:  American Idol

Starting off the top of the list is the only reality show that I enjoy watching anymore.  I'm not really sure how to feel about this show.  My enjoyment of the show comes depending on how great my singer is doing.  This season my favorite is already gone, in fact, she is so gone I don't even remember her name.  This season has been so-so compared to the other ones.  I'm thinking that might be because I've just grown so used to it. Or it could be becasue of the new judge.  Either way, that's why it is here instead of something closer to 5th.

Number Nine:  Iron Chef America

This show draws my attention way more than I really believe it should.  I'm not really sure how secret the secret ingredient is on the show, seeing as how all the chefs seem to be expecting it.  Really I just like watching them make the strange ass food.  Seriously, I don't think the average American would eat half that stuff, and I don't think I would blame them.  This is definitely where I get my high brow food shows, I mostly stick to the tried and true average Joe food normally.  But, this is definitely worth a watch, especially if you like cooking.

Number Eight:  Star Wars The Clone wars

Ah yes, Star Wars the Clone Wars.  This a  most excellent show that I think does a resonably well job of tying up a bit of the loose ends between episode two and three.  I like the artist directin they took with the show, and the characters are fairly nice, especially the clones themselves.  Sure, the show has it's problems, both with continuity and with the way Anakin is portrayed in the show, but hey, those are hard things to be perfect on.  If you're a Star Wars fan, don't let the kiddie nature of this show keep you away, it's definitely a great half hour of television.

Number Seven:  Good Eats

I like this show mostly just becaues what he actually makes are really good eats.  He doesn't go for super fancy cuisine most of the time and just keeps it nice and simple to make.  And he talks to you like you don't know how to cook too well, which hey, I don't!  Plus, he uses lots of props and has all kinds of really terrible jokes, and as you may know, I'm a huge fan of terrible jokes.  Definitely a good show for any foodie though.

Number Six:  The Angry Beavers

A blast from the past, that's for sure.  The humor in this show still makes me smile, and when I (very very rarely) see it come on randomly, I do try to stop what I'm doing and watch it.  Definitely my favorite Nick show from back in the day, I'll be fully upfront with you and tell you that this got so high based a bit on nostalgia.  But deep down, I know you all loved this show .

Number Five:  Robot Chicken

This was the first show that I actually wanted to buy a season of on DVD.  And I did.  Booyah.  This show is vulgar humor (Ode to the Nutshot anyone?) and that's probably why I like it so much.  Plus the 15 minute run time is amazing for my super short attention span.  I especially love the little 5 second clips they show, because there's only time for one joke.  Seeing as how everyone I know who follows this site has seen this show, I think that they all agree with me on placing this on the list.

Number Four:  Scrubs

Ah Scrubs, the only medical show I like.  Yes, it also happens to be a hilariously good comedy, but that is besides the point.  I think almost everyone likes this show.  I mean it was popular enough to come back from the dead on a whole different network, that has to say something abuot it's staying power.  Plus, everyone sees themselves in at least one character, so maybe it's easier to conncet to the show. Oh, and the show is hilarious.  Seriously, there is nothinig better tha JD and Turk.  Bes friendship in the history of television.

Number Three:  Family Guy

Ah yes, you didn't honestly think that you'd get through without some Family Guy did you?  Yeah, it's immature, stupid, and all around a terrible show, but I love it.  It has my kind of crude humor.  I know plenty of people aren't a huge fan of this show, but I don't care.  Make our own list.  I don't catch a lot of the references, which almost makes me feel stupid that a cartoon show has a bit more class than I do, but hey, it happens.

Number Two:  Star Trek the Next Generation

I think me and this show are twins.  Seriously, it came out in 1987, I was born in 1987.  When you first get to know us, we both are kind of not great and could use some work, but we quickly make you realize that this we're awesome.  Seriously though, this is the show that made me a Trekkie.  It's an amazingly great science fiction show even to this day.  It shows a much better version of the future than the other shows do, and hey, Picard is the best captain ever.  Suck on that Kirk.  Far better than the original series, or any series that has come after it.  Make it so Number Two.

Number One:  Bones

Bones is amazing.  This is the only other series I have on DVD, and lately I've been seriously craving it.  I like the storylines so far, and this is one that I've been trying to actually watch in something besides reruns.  I think it helps that everyone on the show is just incredibly good looking.  The first season is a lot different than the newer seasons, but that's all for the good too.  While everyone else is watching CSI or Law & Order or House, I'm watching Bones.  You should all try it out sometime, it's a pretty damn good show.  It is number one after all.

That's right.  Lost didn't make the list.  Want to know why?  Becaue I've never watched a single episode of it.  Heroes didn't make it either, mostly because the show isn't that good.  Oh snap.

Peace out.
