Dag 2009, we barely knew you. Top 5?

1. The Yankees winning the world series, breaking the 9 year drought. It's been a long 9 years, but just like in 1923, it was good to see them open up the new stadium with a championship. It was good to see a championship, period. Now with Curtis Granderson manning center field? Donezo.





2. 2009 was the year of the rabbit. "Technically" it was the year of the Ox, but in the world of anything important it was the year of the rabbit. Blink-182 reunited!!!!!! Something so unfathomable a year ago, it finally happened. I ended up seeing them not once, but twice this year. Once with all the bros for the first time at Jones Beach, and if that wasn't epic enough then hanging on the gate next to stage at Madison Square Garden. Levels of awesome I can't even comprehend.





3. I got this sick hat.






4. Best movie of the year? A part of me really wants to say Avatar, but it's not the best movie of the year. Visually it's some of the craziest shit you'll ever see and I highly recommend you go all out, IMAX 3D and all, but still I resist. Best movie of the year, hands fucking down, Inglorious Basterds. Yes. Absolutely. It's been a long time since we got a real Tarantino experience. Death Proof doesn't count. I never saw the Kill Bills in theaters either, so this was my first real cinematic Tarantino experience. World War 2 like it was never done before. Everyone saw this, it's not like I need to explain it, right? It's on DVD and Blu Ray now, seriously, if you haven't seen this movie go get it. Now.





5. And to round out the Top 5 of 2009? Number 5 will encompass all the blunts shared, all the Hubba runs, and all the good times. Hanging out in Chris's basement is back in a big way. We had some good, a lot of bad this year, but hey, Haf Galons for life my dudes. Haf Galons for life.

i was going to cop out and just find a video to put here instead, but i ended up spending an hour watching stupid ass videos on youtube. that's the power of youtube. the power of the suck. you can innocently be trying to find one video and that's it, but before you know it you've spent hours looking through depths of youtube you thought not possible.
well this is day 3 of my 4 days of work in a row. didn't have to wake up early though, that's always a plus. and the heat turned on in my apartment, or at least the radiator is starting to make noises. thats a plus a too.

as you saw by my last LIAH, things have been extremely busy and hectic. but, i prevailed. got all my work in, did all my tests, pwned life. dos toros had an awesome employee holiday party last night. this job is levels beyond where i was at the shake shack last year. levels. one thing i've learned throughout the many jobs i've worked, it's not what you do it's who you're working with. let's go through my alright not bad jobs. greening project, it sucked we were doing yardwork in the hot sun, but an entertaining group of people. when i was a camp counselor, i got to play soccer with 9 year olds all day. if you know about the limits of my athletic capabilities, that was the perfect arena of competition for me. westchester country club, solid. cabana staff kicked ass. and my latest, its just a very positive vibe and a good working environment. the food will blow your fucking mind as well. but of course, there have been the bad. my time at build a bear workshop. i'm not sure if build a bear or shake shack was my worst job. and even though the haf galons took over the white plains public library, anytime you had to fly solo was like being in solitary confinement with nothing but the dewey decimal system to keep you company.
work sucks, i know. at the end of the day, there's only one job that truly wouldn't feel like work to me, and that's making movies. and very soon, i plan on taking over that world. in the meantime, i'll enjoy rolling your burritos.

today is a day where we seperate the men from the boys. just took my computer final. eh. how well could you possibly done on a computer final is my theory on it. anyway, the real grind begins. i have about 4 hours to shoot 5 rolls of film for photo. we're hitting up brooklyn people. coney island, grand army plaza, brooklyn botanical garden, brooklyn museum, we're making all the stops. and then we're gonna roll some burritos. engage.

i got 4 hours of sleep last night, but somehow i made monday an extremely productive one. make two rough cuts for editing? bam. do two of my missed freecell 101 (core computer) homeworks? bam. how am i still alert right now? i do not know. i figured i'd need a very big cup of coffee in order to possibly function today. went to starbucks, which i'm usually against but it was too cold to make the walk to dunkin. spent my 2.75 extremely begrudingly, but hey i'm a working man now. still, 2.75 for a cup of coffee, a large one, excuse me venti, no fuck you large. at starbucks today i had to renounce my judaism. there was one upside, i got to use my favorite adjective in the english language. would you like regular or bold? i'm gonna go bold.
so where are we? andrew southard life lessons, this one's free. should you find yourself with an extremely long day ahead of you with a lot of work to do and you're running on 4 hours of sleep, one large bold cup of coffee and half a pack of cigarettes should do the trick. cheers.

when it comes to stoner films, pineapple express is number 1. without a doubt. i mean like "stoner comedies", half baked is pretty funny but no where near this masterpiece. cheech and chong? fuck cheech and chong. tommy chong is funny in that 70's show, there's no denying that. besides that though, useless. i mean you have the absolute perfect cast for a movie. seth rogen is fantastic and represents the common baked man like no one else. james franco brings the awesome on multiple levels. danny mcbride? you serious? those are three of the funniest dudes on the planet right there. bam. uncle eddie and craig robinson as hitmen. bill lumbergh to round it off as the villian. this is the perfect movie, it really is, it's the perfect movie. everytime i watch it i always go back to the audience reaction when i saw it opening night. when red comes busting through the barn, i just remember how the place erupted. fucking classic man.
