1. Something that you may not know about me is that I’m a fan of the Monkees. If you don’t know who they are, then you never had the pleasure of watching their T.V. show (I believe it was made in the 60’s, but has been shown on T.V. many times since). Unfortunately, EBAY is trying very hard (and becoming marginally successful) in combating my “fandom.” It seems like every commercial now is an EBAY commercial – you know, the ones where people are buying, playing with, or wearing an “IT.” Each of these commercials features the Monkees “Sleepy Jean” song. I used to love this song, but now I can’t stand it anymore. My hope is that no other company has any plans for using songs like “Pleasant Valley Sunday,” “Stepping Stone,” “I’m a Believer,” and “That was Then, This is Now.”
2. Can anybody believe that we have had to undergo the annoying career of Kobe Bryant for 10 years already? As luck would have it, he is only 27, so we will probably have to deal with the Diva for another 10 years. He scored 62 points a few nights ago, which shouldn’t be shocking because he hardly ever passes the ball (as can also be evidenced by his astounding 0 assists that same night). I can’t figure out why I find it so hard to watch pro basketball with all of the “teamwork” that goes on.
3. I hope 2006 will feature better movies than 2005 did. What a clunker. I went to about 4 movies this year, and I wasn’t bowled over by any of them (Batman, King Kong, Just Friends) except for “Walk the Line.” I didn’t even really like Johnny Cash prior to the movie, but after seeing it, my wife and I actually listened to AND enjoyed the greatest hits compilation that I for some reason purchased years ago.
4. I can’t believe another year has just zoomed by. Does anybody else enjoy watching those “Year in Review” specials that are being aired on a 25-hour-per-day basis the last week of the year? I love them, and I’m always astounded by how many things of significance actually occur in a given year.
5. Have a Happy New Year Everybody!!!

1. "Stepping Stone" is the best of their songs. Just my opinion.
2. Allow me to respond to Jeff's criticism... Allen Iverson is averaging 7.4 assists per game this season and ranks 7th in the NBA this season in that category. That's a little more than passing on occasion. I'm getting sick of the "Iverson doesn't pass enough" argument. Though I am the first one to say he has taken too many shots in his career. And get your facts straight... the game that Kobe scored 62, the Lakers won 112-90 over Dallas. There's plenty of good reasons to bash Kobe for being an asshole. That isn't one of them.
3. Yeah, the best movie I saw all year was the Star Wars flick. My lady and I hardly went to the movies this year, and the last one we saw was the disappointing Pacino sports betting flick. 2005 sucked movie-wise.
4. You might enjoy my year in review blog I just wrote.
Happy New Year bro...
1. You look and smell like a monkey too.
2. meh.
3. War of the Worlds wasn't bad.
4. Nothing is of significance. Time is an illusion based upon humanity's primitive need to chronologically annotate all that happens within their perception! We live in a constant time/space continuum, there is no weekend!
My spoon is too big.
