Without A Paddle

Nick MomrikLeave a comment

Without a PaddleI’ve heard great things about this movie and it didn’t disappoint me. Anyone who knows me can tell you that I’m not the biggest fan of comedy movies. I like action and drama. Give me some excitement! There are some comedies that I like though. This is one.

The best scene from the movie is when the 3 friends have to huddle together for warmth wearing nothing but their underwear. I don’t know why they included this in the trailers for the movie because it kind of ruined it a little bit. I was still laughing my ass off, don’t get me wrong, but it too the surprise away. Seth Green, Matthew Lillard, and Dax Shepard all performed excellent roles in the film. You probably know Dax from Punk’d on MTV, but this was his first big time role. Green played the friend everyone picked on and really fit the role since he’s so short compared to Dax and Lillard.

One complaint I have about the film is the plot has an overall serious message to it. This is supposed to be a comedy and I don’t like it when writers attempt to put two types of story into one. Save the drama for another movie because it really kills the comic tone. With that said I still really liked the flick.

I give it a B+, but only because it’s not my typical cup of tea.

Surviving Philly

It feels good to be alive. Today Lindsay and I took the bus down to Penn’s Landing on the Delaware River, where we ate at a great restaurant called Rock Lobster. Since Lindsay left her ID at the hotel, we couldn’t go to any of the bars and Dave & Buster’s wouldn’t even let us in. With nothing else to do, we hopped on another bus and headed to the motel. Not knowing what the hell we were doing, we missed our stop and ended up in the slums of Philadelphia.

Overall, we were on the bus for over an hour and there were less than 5 other white faces that got on. Good thing the driver was nice enough to bring us back down the route (back through the slums). Our shitty motel never looked so good when we got back. At least we can laugh about it now though.

Ever Kiss A Bee?

Nick Momrik3 Comments

I did today, tongue and everything! I was riding the bike and a big bug flew in my mouth. It took a couple of seconds to get where I could spit it out. You want to talk about gross! Shortly after, I realized the stinging sensation on my tongue. The bee wasn’t in there long, but it made good use of it’s time.

Every where I look online it says to seek immediate medical attention, call your doctor, etc. It’s already been a good two hours since it happened, so I think I’ll be fine. If you don’t see any more posts or activity on the site, you’ll know what happened. 😥

Is Midnight AM Or PM?

Nick Momrik10 Comments

The power went out in my house at some point yesterday so when I got home from work all of the clocks were blinking and my computer was off. Not a big deal. Right? Wrong!

I didn’t get around to setting my alarm clock until after midnight because I didn’t have a need to use it until I was setting the alarm. No matter how many times I’ve set a clock in my life, I always go right past 12 a couple of times before realizing that it comes after 11. I don’t know what it is. Maybe I’m just too quick on the buttons. So I finally settled on 12, set the minutes, and set the alarm time. Time to get some sleep.

In the morning I rolled over at about 6:50 and noticed that I still had another 10-15 minutes to sleep. Always a welcome fact. So I closed my eyes and drifted back to sleep. I roll over again and the clock now shows 7:42! WHAT THE FUCK! I quickly notice a dot in the corner of the display, which means the time is set for 7:42 PM. This is where I start to feel like a complete dumb ass…as I should. It’s not the first time that something like this has happened, but usually it’s the alarm time that I’ve set incorrectly.

So I end up 30 minutes late for work and I feel stupid. I can’t even tell time correctly. Maybe I should convert to military time.
