I had to say watching this review really brought up a lot of memories of childhood. I loved all of these shows immensely, well I wasn't really into Ren & Stimpy too much.
I know there was a blog post about the movie, but I had to make a blog since
I thought some of the skits were hilarious, and even wanted to post a specific skit that everyone should see. Youtube didn't accept it so I just put it on rapidshare. Skits

A lot of people are saying it makes no sense, and that's it's not funny. I have to completely disagree. The tone is subtle, but once you get it. It's gold.
It's just some guy writing about his day. He was horrible grammar, and spelling.
I woke up today around eleven as I usually do. It's nothing new to me. I've been doing it for a while now. Waking up late isn't something I think is bad. There's nothing to watch anymore in the early morning like their used to be in the good old days. Waking up to see Monster Rancher and Mega Man now seem like distant dreams. In today’s world Hanna Montana and horrible semi funny preteen comedies have all become the rage. What happened to humanity, and when will salvation come?
My Father calls me down, and tells me to not to forget to pick up my little brother from school today. I wasn't going to forget Dad, but thanks for the heads up. My room is trashed. As the day before a friend came over, and we ordered pizza. We reminisced, and talked turns playing TF2. It was fun, and we tend to do it every now, and then.
I go back to my room, and ponder what the fuck I'm going to do next. I see the package with the books that I received from Amazon yesterday. I log on the computer, and check my e-mail. There's nothing in both my inboxes. I do the usual. I check Digg, and try to find some videos on Youtube. I don't find anything.. I watch the occasional PhillyD video, and maybe I'll bare an Athenwins video. It doesn't go anywhere.
I log into TLNET, and check some threads. Nothing's really interesting to me. I mostly lurk around General, and occasionally check Sports & Games. I post mostly in Blogs, because in my opinion Blogs remind me of what General used to be like in its prime. A user would post a video, a funny story, an antic, or even a question for laughs/advice, and we'd all have our chance at a one liner. If you stroked gold you received the benefits. It was like chilling with a bunch of friends you all liked, or hated.
I check the thread regarding the books I received, and I clearly see people telling me I should call Amazon, and return them. I get stressed, and I'm not going to do that. I'm a nice guy, and I rarely try to screw someone over. Morally speaking stealing is stealing, but I feel lenient when it came to this scenario. Both parties fucked up, and I felt I deserved some payback. I got the payback, and I'm not just going to throw it away. Look at me saying payback. I sound like an Italian hipster.
However, some people won't let it go. Some people eat Emmanuel Kant for breakfast, and call me a thief. Some people want to go all Abraham Lincoln, and call me out. I don't let things go, and I'll defend myself whenever it seems necessary. I don't like arguing, but I guess some people on TLNET love to use this place as a debate playground, or boost up their intellectual ego.
I realize my girlfriend will be arriving at my house at roughly forty minutes. I start cleaning my room, and barely finish when she arrives. I took a lot of soda breaks, and listening to music while cleaning doesn’t exactly speed up your process. She's smiling, and she cheers me up just by giving me a kiss. I tell her about the books, and she say’s it’s not such a big deal. I offer to give them to her, but she refuses. She tells me about her day at school, and she even helps me finish cleaning my room.
We start kissing, and that quickly escalates. I gently throw her onto my bed, and she knows what's going too happened next. First comes the foreplay, and after listening to 3rd song of my sex play list I had put on, she realizes one thing. She wants it, and well I'm going to give it to her. Sex isn’t something to be shy about it, but I’m not going to give away dirty details. It happened, and I’m going to mention it.
We have sex for about half an hour (that's not counting the foreplay may I add). I don't consider myself a tiger, but I give it my all. We cuddle after sex, and just relax next to each other. I realize that we're going to have to leave soon to pick up my brother from school. We both get dressed, and leave out the door. We look like the typical cute couple.
We walk to school since it's rather close. On the way I spot my neighbors daughter, and I wave hello to her. I realize it's a hot day, and I'm actually quite frustrated about it. I don't like hot weather, which is weird since my birthday is in the middle of the summer.
We pick up my brother, and walk back to my house. On the way we meet up with a female cop who is putting up with the job of being a crossing guard. She yells at some ghetto guys for doing something retarded. I don't really remember what, but I just laughed at it. We get home, and my brother asks if he can play TF2. I agree, since I'd rather be alone with my girlfriend.
We end up watching a movie. Mallrats actually, and while I can clearly understand why it's not as praised as other Kevin Smith movies. I end up liking it. It had some funny moments, and too be honest any movie with Jay & Silent Bob is clearly awesome in my opinion. The movie ends, and we both realize we're hungry. I don't have any money, and I feel crummy about it. My girlfriend says she has $5. I go to the kitchen, and realize we have hamburger patties, and buns. We have potatoes, but no vegetable oil to fry them with.
I feel bad, and I tell her I feel bad for not having any money. She offers to go to the store to get some vegetable oil, and soda. I say that’s a great idea, and offer to go with her. I’ll tell her I’ll pay her back, but she tells me she won’t accept while laughing.
We go to the local dollar store, and we buy vegetable oil. We also pick up 2 two liter bottles of pop. We get back, and I go to work. She helps me. I peel potatoes, and then she cuts them in easy friable pieces. I cook the hamburgers, while she cleans the table. We finish, and I call my brother to come down to eat. All three of us eat. It's pretty low key, and that’s how it usually is.
My other brother arrives from football practice. I offer him some food, and he accepts. He eats, and then heads up stairs. I start washing the dishes, and my girlfriend offers to clean the table. I refuse to let her, but she does it anyway. We finish, and since it's now seven in the evening; we realize she has to get home. I walk her home, and plan to chill at her house for a while. It's what I usually do, and her family doesn't really have anything against it.
We walk there. On the way we pass the school again, and we encounter a gang of memo/scene kids lounging around the park next to the school. It was raining, and I was holding up an umbrella for us. As we walk past them they mutter, and I didn't comprehend what they said. I can't stand scene kids.
We finally get to her house. Her mother asks us if we could go get her some bread. She says she’s as hungry as a pregnant woman, and she’s to busy grading papers to do it herself. I'm not talking about white bread either; but I'm talking about some Mexican sweet bread. I don't have anything against the idea, since we would be able to use her mother’s car to get it. She also mentions at the last minute if we could go get some drywall or whatever at Home Depot. We agree to do it.
We go to Home Depot, and pick up the dry wall. It was mildly deserted, and only 2 lanes were open. We got out of there in less than 10 minutes. We then went to the local Mexican bakery to get her mom’s Bread. We bought about $7 worth of Conchas. We drive back while listening to Bloc Party, and we sing along.
We get back there, and put the bread on the table. We go to her brother's room, and I see that they bought Mario Kart for the Wii. We all start playing, and well it‘s pretty cool. I've never played a lot of Mario Kart. The only one I had a decent amount of experience on was the one for the N64, and that was a long time ago. Either way I end up getting 2nd place on most of the races.
Time goes fast while playing video games, and sipping on some pineapple juice. The clock shows 9:58, and it's time for me to get home. She gives me a ride, and I give her a goodnight kiss before I get out. I come in, and say goodnight to my Mother. I come to my room, and log on the computer. After about 15 minutes I check TLNET, and I have a message in my inbox.
