    Smoking No No

    Three of my favorite shows are “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” “Arrested Development,” and “Scrubs.”  The jokes are different but they all share the same sense of humor.  Sometimes I think how great it would be if they could all share a show together.  Who would enjoy JD’s fantasy worlds …

    Blink 182

    by

    Blink 182 has been one of my favorite bands since high school.  I’ve always liked their music but also like the personality of the band.  They seem very fun and carefree. This really comes across in their music videos.  This little clip really sums up their attitude and approach to…

    Anybody living in Virginia last summer can relate to this episode of “The Twilight Zone.”  It was so hot that I would have believe the weatherman if he said it was caused by the sun coming closer for a visit.  The expression on the woman’s face in my gif was …
