I don’t think I’ll ever bring myself to ordering “Video On-Demand” because honestly, I don’t think I’m that demanding. If I’m going to demand something, it’ll be something important, like “hey, I’ve been doused with gasoline and set on fire! I demand that someone extinguish these flames!… if it wouldn’t be too much trouble.”
I am never, on the other hand, ever going to say “I demand to see Failure to Launch RIGHT NOW.”
If you google “Henry Do,” this site is the first one listed.
For some unexplained reason, I am somewhat proud of this. I also feel a bit narcissistic for googling myself in the first place.
George Carlin, one of my favorite comedians, has passed away.
Farewell George. Thanks for making me laugh… and more importantly, thanks for making me think. The world will miss you more than it knows.
As a rule, man is a fool.
When it’s hot, he wants it cool;
when it’s cool, he wants it hot.
Always wanting what it is not.
- Nat King Cole
I believe that going to the movies could be a pleasant experience once again with this simple change: each theater would have an usher armed with a stick. If someone starts talking during the film, either to their friends nearby or on their cell phone, they get beaten by the usher with the stick. Problem solved.
You may be aware of my current, rarely updated webcomic. Obviously, I am completely bereft of artistic ability which is why I’m happy to announce that my good buddy Forrest and I have recently created a webcomic that combines his aptitude for making things look cool and my talent for being a smartass. Check it out.
There’s this commercial that’s been playing on TV recently that includes, among other things, a hot girl dancing around with other hot girls while holding a tray of cupcakes. I don’t know why she’s holding the tray of cupcakes, but after the fifth time I saw it, I realized that I was ignoring the hot dancing girls and staring at the cupcakes.
I don’t know if this represents the next step in my evolution or if I just need to get out more. I do know that I would like a cupcake, though.
When I ride on the subway, I normally have my headphones on and listen to music on my iPod. Sometimes, though, I turn off the music but leave the headphones on to eavesdrop on conversations nearby. Yesterday, on a packed train, I heard this:
Woman 1: “So no one stood up and gave you their seat?”
Woman 2: “Not one. What is wrong with people today?”
“Everyone’s so selfish.”
“I know! Nobody is raised right these days.”
I got off at my stop and made my way down some stairs. At the bottom of the staircase was a woman struggling with a huge, heavy-looking bag. Some random guy ran down to the bottom of the stairs and proceeded to help her carry her bag back to the top.
Nice timing, random guy. Good job.
After putting some water in a tea pot this morning, I placed it on the stove and turned on the gas. Then I stood there and watched.
And watched.
And you know what? It boiled.
Current score - Me: 1, Pithy Sayings: 0.
What if today is the day I go outside and walk right into the middle of a spontaneous song and dance number? What if I don’t know the words or the steps? That would be totally embarrassing.
