We all know the feeling. You sit on a couch and you feel yourself separate from reality as you descend into the depths of a comfortable couch. The ones that seem to have more cushion then backbone. The ones that you sit down and close your eyes, and don't open your eyes until three hours later. It's a feeling of complete and utter relaxation and surrender to the allure of a comfy couch.
This is in no way related to the Big Comfy Couch, although that was undeniably also awesome.
Yes. They pollute. They can be loud and annoying and obnoxious. They can smell funny and they pollute the air, the air waves and the modern world in general.
But enough about the Toronto Maple Leafs. (oh snap!)
Few can argue that cars can be pretty. Some of which are pretty enough to make any man want to club it and take it back to his cave. Scratch that, most of which are pretty enough to make any man want to club it and take it back to their caves.
Cars pollute. But they're ever so delicious to look at.
Not everyone will agree with this one, but I find something so fulfilling about storytelling. I love to tell stories to people. I love sharing what I know, and imparting things to others. I love the idea of people caring about people I made up. I love the idea of storytelling. I love the creative process that goes into it. I hate editing, but I love the action of first getting there.
Writing is a wonderful feeling. I work so hard on things and love to watch them blossom and prosper in my head.
I hope one day I can share my stories with other people. Watch my creation bloom in the lives of others. Here's hoping
Few things light your way more efficiently or effectively than a lamp. It's small. It's bright. It's a lamp.
While not a piece of furniture that people (usually women) swoon over, (I LOOOOVE your sofa) lamps deserve their time in the sun.
Or the moon.
Since night is usually when you use a lamp.
Steve Carrel loves lamp. You should too.

Nothing quite gives you the satisfaction of leaving a job you dislike. Especially when it's for one with better hours, decent pay and it's where you're actually needed instead of just another cog in the wheel. It's possibly the best feeling in the world. We should all do it. At least once.
In fact, I'm going to quit tomorrow.
Good bye Blockbuster.
See you NEVER AGAIN!!! *evil maniacal laughter*

Meet Sackboy. Officially the most adorable video game character since Lara Croft's bra. Look at him. He's so cute! And it doesn't hurt that you can turn him into pretty much anything you want to. You want a Naruto Sackboy? Go ahead! An Elizabethan Queen Sackboy? (Sackgirl?) Go right on and make it. Sackboy Hitler? ... Well maybe not so much, but hey.
As the face of Little Big Planet, one, if not the most ingenius platformer games in decade, Sackboy is adorable. He is precious. He's like a little piece of deliciously awesome crack. Everyone loves Sackboy. He runs, he jumps, he smiles, he waves... He does everything. He's freaking Sackboy. What more do you people need?
Trust me when I say the game is fun. Damn fun. Often mind numbingly difficult too, but hey, that's the sign of good quality. I'd love to play this game for many more years... but hopefully Media Molecule is already working on their follow up.
This game rocks.
I less then three Sackboy. I less then three it good.

I was originally going to make this a top ten, but that requires excruciating cuts.
Nothing quite says: Awesome, like the underdogs winning. Whether it be Tina winning Survivor 2, Paul Potts and Susan Boyle bursting onto the scene in one of the most famous talent contests in the world or the one team you never expected to make it to the finals, who finally make it to the finals, and then win.
There are three classic flavors of milkshake: Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberry. These are the three flavors that every self-respecting diner must adhere to or face harsh consequences and criticism. Milkshakes gained popularity in the 1950's (I think) through the use of "Malt shops". It's a classic drink dating back decades of delicious, awesome memories.
It's a basic one today, but wow is it ever delicious.
And yes, my milkshake does bring... well you know the rest... I hope.

Julie Andrews rocks. Seriously. She is more like the queen then the queen. They should name a street after her. Or before her. Whichever comes first. But seriously, this woman is the epitome of poise. Between her, Helen Mirren and Judi Dench, they make age look good. Even after she had the surgery done on her throat, she still looks good, and she could even sing in Princess Diaries 2. Don't watch it, just trust me that she does.
So what makes raindrops on roses so peachy?
Well it's pretty.
Just like Julie Andrews.
What else do you need?
BTW- This is completely unrelated but I just found this video absolutely entrancing.
