Footloose

Once again this year, Pip made his yearly trek to the Cleveland area for a weekend of reliving memories and debauchery.  This year’s trip happened to coincide with Opening Day for the Indians so we headed down to the stadium to take in a game with my brother Marko and buddy Al.  Pip had never been to the stadium so it was super cool to have a “first timer” there though I can’t say the Tribe played all that well… we were down 14-0 in the 4th inning.  At least I can say that the didn’t roll over and die… Continue reading

I’ve said it time and time again… I’m a geek. 80′s movies are my wheelhouse ranging anywhere from science fiction to action movies to horror. Many times these movies come complete with some cheesy soundtrack and when we’re talking soundtracks no one does it better than the man… Kenny Loggins.

So if you’ve been keeping up here, you know that ol Pip went and got himself married this past weekend.  The wife and I went back to my old stomping grounds of Bloomington, Indiana to partake in the festivities… and partake we did!

So Pip’s getting married this weekend and I can’t fucking wait!  Sure he’s found himself a great girl to spend the rest of his life with.  Sure he’s living the dream he’s waited so long for.  But you know what I’m looking forward to?

“Let’s DANCE!!!” (In my best Kevin Bacon voice).  If you don’t know what I’m referring to shame on you… Go rent Footloose.

I was running through the hard drive this evening and ran across this gem of Pip doing his best Ren McCormack impression.  I’m sorry to say that I can’t for the life of… Continue reading

I was born in the mid 70′s. It was before we had hundreds of channels on TV and it was before there was a blockbuster a week in the theaters.  There are comic, cartoon and movie properties that are so ingrained into my being that they are a part of me… and they’re all being redone for the sake of the almighty dollar.

Star Wars, G.I. Joe, Transformers, Halloween, Friday The 13th, Tron… I could go on and on.  It seems as if Hollywood is completely devoid of any original ideas these days.  Don’t get me wrong – some of… Continue reading
