The Things I Like That you Might Like, Because That's a Blog

I have two hands working again so I shall blog, I have nothing interesting or witty to talk about but that hasn’t stopped me before, self-immolation. I will make this a review of things I enjoy, from podcasts to television programs, I won’t be in-depth and by Christ we all know that nobody reads this thing for information or at all so that doesn’t matter. It will just be a list of things you might not be aware of to try out and see if you like.

Podcasts

Nerdist.com

Three comedians interview all sorts of different people and have chats amongst themselves in a thing they call the hostful show. Can be great or grating dependant on the guests and moods of the hosts but overall a fun thing to listen to while on the bus. I have gotten days of fun out of it.

Smodcast.com

Kevin Smith has his own podcast and comic book store (this will come up again) from which come some very good shows, I like Tell ‘em Steve-Dave and the Secret Stash, just them chatting about anything that pops up. Bryan Johnson cracks me up.

Wtfpod.com

Marc Maron is our host; he is a complex man that asks great questions but sometimes his hatred of himself makes you feel sad. Worth listen to though.

Television

Community

A TV show that focuses on a community college; it’s the closest thing to a live action cartoon that there is. Will make you say Scrubs has nothing on this. It’s a comedy.

Comic Book Men

Yes it’s a reality show, and a spin-off of Tell Em Steve Dave base on the Secret Stash Kevin Smiths comic book store (I told it would come back) funny and talks about comic history through the items brought into the shop based around the hook that they are recording a podcast. Give it a try.

Archer

Danger Zone! That will make sense when you watch it. A secret agent with an drinking problem brilliant cartoon. A must watch but I only know one person that watches it, and that isn’t good enough. It’s not because it isn’t good it’s because the advertising isn’t there to promote the show. It’s better than Family Guy in my humble opinion.

I guess if one of you checks one of these things out, I would have wasted me time but if a bunch of you do and enjoy them, then I can call this something I did. What a profound ending to the blog again. Taxi!

Snowden: Bear Grylls Ain't got Shit on Me!

So I am an adventurer, with that comes peril. My spirits high and full of carbs I bravely got a lift from a friend and his sister to Wales to face Snowden, which is the second highest mountain in the U.K. Take that wikipeaks. The way there was lovely we got coffees and laughed generally having a grand old time.  Seeing road signs that look like a dyslexic game of scrabble taking well-meaning swipes at the locals. Arriving laughing we got some provisions crisp flap jacks and lucazade, we clearly were ready for this, so called mountain. The first part was photos and a hard walk, some beautiful scenery. My friend Chris has the photos, we were so young so care free so tried and sweaty. Then came what I can only describe as akin to a gravity hack on a pc game I was on a mountain, really high up, above the birds. I had casually vomited twice through fatigue feeling at one with nature. I had a panic attack. I got over the hardest bit and was basically walking when I spied a path which seemed to my keen outdoorsmen like eyes as close. Pitching a fit and basically crying I shouted Bear Grills ain’t got shit on me and headed straight down. I had Redox classics on one of my many cocky moves that would prove my heart, nerve and stupidity. I slipped like a man! Oh I was manly. I remember thinking this is how I die and just accepting it. Landing like a gymnast I shouted I am alive trying to stand, my second worst idea. Some people called mountain rescue and we waited while I went into shock laughing like a mental and cursing anything welsh. Dragons, leaks, Gavin and Stacey, Rob Brydon, Tom Jones and Daffodils it’s good to keep your mind active in this situations. I had fallen 10-15 meters and I was alive. Chris and Alex Lehane siblings, kept me entertained and alive and I love them. I caused them so much embarrassment and I didn’t care. I was alive. The hospital was a blur of drugs laughing gas and Chris flicking my nipples while I was in a neck brace. I fell off  a mountain but I had lived we’ll call this one a draw Wales.

This is only short because typing with one had is a shit. Oh yeah dislocated my shoulder.
