There are so many traits about penguins that are awesome. They bond for life. They propose using stones. They adopt children. They have same-sex families. They know about community and solidarity. They are wonderful creatures. They are also wonderfully stupid sometimes, you can literally have the blind lead the blind if you do it right. Nonetheless I love these little beasts! Which is why I was so stoked when I came across this article from I f****** love science:
......I was hooked. And you know you are too! Who doesn't want to know reasons that penguins are kind of like humans when it comes to communication? I mean really? It's definitely fascinating! Verbal languages crude as it is but it's nice to know we aren't the only animals that use it on Earth. Anyways, I'm rambling, continue reading for more info.
In today's news, nothing relevant, but seemingly out of nowhere........ Disney decided to flex weirdly by announcing an addition to the Disney plus streaming service, a reboot to a beloved 90's franchise......MIGHTY fu@#$!g DUCKS!!!! BIA BIA Continue Reading to get hip to the haps
Ever Since Indy 4, Indiana Jones 5 has been on the backburner...and for good reasons. 4 was kind of a $#%t show, so I'm sure they have been hesitant. Plus Lucas got busy with the Disney/Star Wars acquisition and his own personal matters so I'll bet it's been a slow burn. Well TODAY I was scrolling through my popculture news and I came across a promising (well....time will tell) headline:
Kathleen Kennedy Updates the Status of Indiana Jones 5
so naturally I'm excited. I click it. I read it. I ponder about it. And while I am still excited I am wary. I don't know..... Continue reading for the scooop
1.71 is a number synonymous with Back to the Future..... 1.71 is the gigawatts (or jiggawatts for the uninitiated) required to time travel. 171 might also be the weight floating around in this flesh vehicle..... But nonetheless! The number 1 and 7 are about to get another claim to fame...... 'How' you might ask.....simple.... With Legos.
Continued imaginary dailogue
Non existentent person: ....k well what special or significant there?
Me: well.......poop
N E P: still don't follow
Me: that how long it takes to poop a Lego...
*Awkwardmoment passes*
N E P: ...ooooooooo
Yesterday was Team Hot Garbage stream day. For the most part it was a success but if your were watching our stream.....well...... Things for a bit awkward and heated at the end.... Whoops
But we are all best friends, always have been, always will be, that won't change. Spats and disputes will arise bit in the end honest conflict has more value than dishonest harmony.

-Been hectic and busy still trying to find a solid schedule for Baby Amelia. She is 3 moths old! That's exciting and new, she's hyper alert and curious....double Bonus! So now in between Her, my Wife, my job, my hobbies and video games I have quite a full plate. Still trying top find balance and still trying to update as much as possible. Been sick the last week, wanted to do this at that time but kept falling asleep shortly after coming home, cooking dinner, and getting affairs into order. Although I feel 100% better now and have a few moments to snag for an update. I still plan on coming back full swing, I never plan on abandoning this blog and Ideally I'm getting back to a minimum of 2 to 3 (hopefully more) posts a week. Got a MEME round-up! finally and that felt good. I have SOOO many MEMES to share, I could honestly do 2 or 3 inna row right now because theyve been back logged but I won't saturate my return with them.....or maybe just one more. LOL
-POTATOES! : a memoir by Ryan Downs.
Just kidding I ain't got time, but I still am doing my hack on my body. Still doing 2 to 3 Potatoes in the morning and a normal Dinner at night (thank god, this diet is SOOOOO BLAND) and I have been losing weight consistently.... at first it was a lot, mostly water weight, then slowly it started coming off about a half pound a day..... I was doing GREAT, that is...until VALENTINES DAY. It set me back but I aint mad... Still dropping pounds and technically eating whatever (well after Dinner but before 8 then nothing) with minimal exercise.....mostly Cardio and snow removal. It is perfect, can't complain.and........... I'm down to 157! (with a shrinking gut)
As a bonus for listening to me drone on I have a few interesting tid bits for you.... Some random yet intriguing videos!
This video aptly named Corporate Jargin: Lying by Obscurity
The Air Force's legit attempt at a realistic airborne aircraft carrier. Pretty cool if ya like that kinda stuff..... idk, I was fascinated. AAAAND it gives you a little history!
Guess Whose back.....back again (gain gain, just imagine it in Eminem's voice) Spoiler ALERT: ...me
So I'm popping in and I'm all over the place yo. I got some interesting news, a few videos, an update and yes..... a new-e-f***ing-dition of MEME Round Up! so let's get to it.... This post is just a preview of the posts....nothing of substance itself. But hey, ya get 2 free memes so....yeah
Starting tomorrow I'm gonna try to be outside for a fewincrements of 15 minutes and nothing but a bathing suit to prep for the polar plunge. My plan when I get to work tomorrow is find a trash can to fill it up with water maybe sometime during this week I'll do a pregame to build some hype or get a better idea of how screwed I'm going to be lol
I'm almost at $150 raise! Thank you everybody for making this possible. I'm going to keep going as far as I can on this hype train
So I don't usually Diet..... I don't do diets, I dont drink diet, hell.....I don't body build or exercise unless I have to. I am so unfamiliar with the gym I call it James, but recently that is changing. I am not the young adult I once was..... Can't go on extended benders, can't eat acidic foods past 8pm, and can't have a diet which has 0 repercussions anymore. Lately I've been on a roll and eating a roll so my weight and gut have been racking up. Where I once was a nice 145 with a small bit of toned muscle and a slimmer waste (no gut) I have devolved into a cliche dad bod. Needless to say I have been on a semi-serious (well really not so serious) search for a good way to slim down and wind the clocks back. The past month I have increased and regimented and exercise plan and have been doing that with the sole intent of increasing my cardio and losing my gut. I also have been eating better and eating less later in the night. In actuality I am just reverse engineering the factors that led to my dilemma and while it is a slow road I would definitely still meet my target Goal. That's the prologue though, I needed to give a back story so this wouldn't seem like such a left field article. Again I typically am against dieting and body building if it isnt necessary. Fast forward to 4 days ago..... I'm just doing internet surfing like I usually do to decompress after a long work day (apartment maintainance and the general public can take a lot out of you) and I'm watching some Joe Rogan clips on youtube and I see this video:
That's where some gears started churning, and I got excited.... This is exactly the kind of thing I need. So here is my testimonial so far..... (continue to keep reading)
Well Here we are, in the 2nd month of 2019 and Marvel has been releasing some killer content. Recently You have a new season of the Punisher, a trailer for Avengers: Endgame, a new trailer for another Spider-man. Even more recently you have the new teaser for Endgame during the superbowl and Captain Marvel. You also forget non MCU essentials: Spider-Man: into the spiderverse, X-men: Dark Phoenix, and The new mutants. All in all, if you're a fanboy..... This year is gonna be a goodn'
So.... Just in case you haven't seen, let's do a re-cap
It is easy to bash, be salty, throw "shade" or sip that hatorade, it really is. It is easy to complain and easier to criticise. Obviously the world isn't a perfect place but there are moments of bliss and things not to forget. It is easy to forget about all the good in the world so here's a lovely reminder
If you click the image above you'll get an incredibly detailed and very complicated infographic of Stephen King's Characters and Stories and the intersecting connections between them. It is just one example of the many I just found it on a website called POPCORNHORROR.com and it is pretty intriguing to the casual or hardcore horror fan. Continue reading for more!
So.... in my aging wisdom I am always looking for life hacks to make the day to day grind easier. Five years ago I would've scoffed at myself for considering to blog about this. But that was also before I had been married, bought a house, decided to have a child and had a slightly unrealistic grasp on the world. Anyways....blah blah blah, got older and a littlle lamer....broadened my horizons and have embraced more things, new things, well- different things. ANYWAYS, getting off topic, this bring me here...excited. Talking about Dryer sheets, because it's gangsta...
Read on for this exciting article titled
"20 Ingenious Ways To Use Dryer Sheets Around The House That Save People A Fortune"
Over here in Michigan today has been an absolute treat. Been doing yardwork and basking in the delightful rays. Today I also had the opportunity to record a video blog about wrestling, simply splendid. But fugitaboutit, we be blogging yooooooo. So in that spirit here are a few articles that will hopefully get your goat. so here weeeee go.
1. How to be badass on a HELLO KITTY drumset
Ok, so this article is in no way a DIY instructional. I'm sorry if you feel I've mislead you. What this article is though is a gateway to the video that is as comical as it is talented. Watch Mike Portnoy kick out the jams on this childish instrument of satan! If you want to read the article you can do so HERE

Bewitched .com has a chess game that you can play against a supposed virtual intelligence (not possible at this point in civilian history but I still had to check it out) and it is pretty on point. The 4 games I played (not that that should be any indication of any skill on my part) I lost so maybe you take a stab at it? If you succeed leave a comment below and tell me about it!
Today I participated in a video blog for the first time. It was nice. I had fun and got to pay the part of the fool. Collaborating with youtube user TYLERMCD65 I had a good conversation and some witty banter...... Our topic at hand was Wrestling, more specifically- The recent superstar shake-up in the WWE. It was a fun experiment that may breed more to come but I enjoyed myself. I even got to dawn a cowboy hat. If that's your thing check it out below!
