You Might Be Old If…
As I scroll through Facebook, I find far more targeted ads and obscure pages littering my feed than in years past. I guess Mr. Zuckerberg isn’t too happy being a billionaire, it seems he’s aiming for trillionaire status. Sad, but true.

Just my luck...!
This is my worst nightmare. I woke up extra early, fully rested. My bedroom was not too cold or too hot, and the yoga mat was already rolled out. All I had to do was a few stretches, push-ups and sit-ups (a new record: 30 each set), and then hit the bathroom. I noticed that I had more cereal than I thought and that the skim milk I thought I had to replace was still fresh. The coffee was also already percolating (when did I turn the machine on?), and my bag was packed (again, a mystery).

I’m Putting on My Nicest Boxers Today!. Top Story - October 2024.
It’s 9.00 a.m. on Monday morning. It’s raining hard. I’m outside the back door, coat on, hood up. I’ve got the blue recycling bin tipped up at a 45-degree angle and my head and shoulders are deep inside it.

Repo Man
Repo Man is a cult camp classic from 1984, starring Emilio Estevez, along with a stellar lineup of character actors: Harry Dean Stanton, Sy Richardson, Tracey Walter, and Fox Harris. Fox Harris, in particular, is unforgettable as a crazed man driving around in a Chevy Malibu with dead aliens in the trunk. His character wears sunglasses with one lens missing, which somehow makes him even more unsettling. Harris, by the way, appeared in some truly oddball cinematic gems, like Stephen Sayadian’s Dr. Caligari (1989) and Fred Olen Ray’s Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers (1988). If that doesn’t set the tone for Repo Man, nothing will.

Lung Story, Short
I’m not the Marlboro’ Man, but we do share the same cough. I imagine that Jake, Blue, Ted, Crudd, or whatever his name is, has - like me - long suffered from Obstructive Pulmonary Disease on account of all those softly-glowing, aromatic death sticks he looked so dependable and rugged gazing into the sunset with.

History of the World Part 1
Orson Welles opens History of the World, Part I with that iconic voice, delivering the kind of grandiose, overly serious narration he's famous for. But this time, instead of some high-minded historical documentary, he's setting the tone for Mel Brooks' riotous parody of history itself. The contrast between Welles' weighty delivery and the absurdity unfolding on screen is the first of many jokes in this film. Immediately, we’re introduced to a group of Neanderthals engaging in some very prehistoric frooging, bumping, and grinding. It’s a direct parody of 2001: A Space Odyssey, but where Kubrick went for awe and mystery, Brooks leans into the lewd and ludicrous. These cavemen aren’t interested in the mysteries of the monolith; they’re simulating a variety of sexual acts, reveling in crude humor, and setting the tone for the irreverent ride through history to come.

Scale Models in Saudi Arabia
Scale models are detailed small versions of real objects like buildings, vehicles, boats, or machinery, made with precision to mirror the original ones. These models fulfill different functions, ranging from educational tools to artistic expressions and professional demonstrations. In Saudi Arabia, the use of mini replicas is growing in popularity in various industries like architecture, construction, real estate, military, and among hobbyists. With the ambitious Vision 2030 development plan progressing, the demand for scale models in Saudi Arabia has increased notably, especially in urban planning, infrastructure development, and engineering sectors.

Cannibal! The Musical . Top Story - September 2024.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone—two dudes who would soon become infamous for the unstoppable cultural nuke "South Park"—started their journey with this bizarre little project, Cannibal! The Musical. Now, if you’ve ever wondered what kind of movie two soon-to-be comedy titans make in college with a shoestring budget, bad wigs, and a bunch of snow, this is it. It’s crude, it’s cheap, and it’s completely hilarious in the most messed-up way possible.

Humor for Tough Times
In life’s most challenging moments, when everything seems heavy and dark, humor can be a guiding light. It’s a universal balm, a way to cope, and a reminder that even in the toughest situations, there’s room for laughter. As I reflect on my own experiences, I recognize how laughter has become a vital tool for resilience, helping me navigate difficulties with a lighter heart.

Persuading myself to buy a Freewriter
Welcome to my slice of the internet. I had initially set up this account, to help me justify my impending purchase of a Freewrite Traveler. Am I a writer? Not really, lol. Do I need it? Maybe? But if we are being honest here, it's a no (even though a small part of me is screaming "maybe!!!" right now). I’m trying to come up with some creative ways to help me rationalise my impending purchase.
