Friday Funnies V

I cannot believe the Dave Chappelle Show has been off the air for as long as it has. Damn that show was funny. One of the standouts of the show was Charlie Murphy, Eddie’s brother, and who knew this guy was so funny? I was stunned. Well, he shows off his better moments when reminiscing […]

Well done, bro …

Have to take a moment and give a big shout-out to my brother, Michael. His friends call his Soup (because, you know, our last name is Campbell), some people call him Mike, but he’s always going to be Michael to me. I like the full names. 2009 has been a big year so far for […]

What I’ve Watched: Inglorious Basterds

It’s rare to find me not liking a Tarantino film. I just like his style, and the hyper-violence and witty reparté he writes into his movies is timely yet possesses so many winks and nods to other movies and directors that it’s hard to keep up sometimes but enjoyable nonetheless. For Inglorious Basterds, what really […]

Die, Asian Tiger, Die

So this piece of shit insect is my new enemy. I loathe its existence. It’s the Asian Tiger mosquito, and it’s infested the greater DC area this year. These little bastards know no fear. And they swarm. You’re not getting bit by one, but by 6 or 7 of them at once. It’s unreal. Friends […]

Friday Funnies IV

If you have not seen it, the mockumentary “Drop Dead Gorgeous” is awfully funny. It’s about a beauty pageant in Minnesota. There are a ton of people in it, like Allison Janney, Kirsten Dunst, Ellen Barkin and pre-gigantor Kristie Alley. Among the other comedic actors is Will Sasso. He’s got a great role as the […]

Going Parkin’

So it’s a pleasant Sunday morning in Takoma Park. I wake up, get myself put together, hook up the dog and start walking through the neighborhood to the farmer’s market. It’s 9:45 in the morning, so the sun is out, the birds are chirping, a slight breeze is in the air, people are milling about, […]

Friday Funnies III

A guilty pleasure movie that I have is Harlem Nights. It’s an awful movie. Well, maybe not entirely awful. It has a roll call of some of the top black comedians. Red Foxx, Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, Della Reese, Arsenio Hall, Charlie Murphy and many others. After about the first 40 minutes, the movie falls […]

The End of Falling

I sucked as a skateboarder. I’m also bummed I never had the guts to pick it back up. So now I live vicariously through Kelly, Flynn and the other grinders I meet through them. I posted this story to them last week, but I think it’s worth sharing with the rest of the world around […]
