Biggest Comeback of 2008

Chunk's Thoughts (Me coming back to the blogging world)

Biggest Victory of 2008

Second Biggest Victory... or Biggest Victories

Biggest Hype That Ended In Major Success

Biggest Hype of 2008 That Ended in Failure

This team was suppose to go all the way. All Cubs fans believed that this was the year... more so than other years. It's all you would hear. We were excited! Oh, it was gonna be awesome to witness it! The Cubs had an awesome season that was for sure to lead them to the World Series and end the 100 year drought... but no! The playoffs come and once again we are swept in the NLDS. So much hype going into the season... then into the playoffs and boom... failure.

Looking Back on 2008

For the next couple of days I'm gonna start looking back on some of the bigger moments of 2008... such as the stuff I cared about.

Stuff such as...

Best Trip of 2008:

The Ingalls' Family Cruise to the Bahamas

After Christmas...

So about 10 years ago I could relate to this. Anybody else feel the same way?

Merry Christmas

I know it's kind of late on Christmas night, but I wanted to wish all of you a Merry Christmas! I hope everyone had a good day. Also, thanks to those who actually voted on my polls.

I was gonna post on "Christmas Lights", but I think it's a little late for that now... well actually, maybe I'll post something about that tomorrow, if I'm still in a Christmas mood.

Wow, this is probably the first year that I didn't watch a single Christmas episode of Boy Meets World... but then again, this is probably the first full year that I never watch any episode of Boy Meets World, period. Is that show even on anymore? Also, this was the first time that I never even thought about the SNL "I wish it were Christmas today song". I mean, usually during the Christmas season, I am singing all about that song and I just remembered about it today. I guess you can call that a good thing.

So once again I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and remember the true meaning of CHRISTmas. If you need help, click Here.

Festivus

Happy Festivus For the Rest of Us!!

I'm thinking Steak'n Shake was a bad choice

because i'm feeling sick now.

Lights Please...

That's probably my favorite part.

I Hate the Colts!

Let me put this into perspective...

I hate the Colts so much, that I'm actually a Patriots fan!

I guess to me, Colts fans are just like Notre Dame fans... ANNOYING!

My name is Jeremy aka Chunk and I hate the Colts and the Irish!

Good day.

Favorite Christmas Comedy(based on the fact that my favorites were all comedies)

Favorite Animated Christmas Movie

Christmas Movie Number 1: A Christmas Story

Well this is it, the number one movie on my list. To tell you the truth, A Christmas Story and Christmas Vacation are kind of tied for my favorite Christmas movie. I just gave the slight nod to A Christmas Story, because it's one of the only movie I know that gets it's own 24 hour marathon on TV. So is that a good reason for making it my favorite? No, but to be honest with you, I can sit down on Christmas Eve/Christmas Day and watch this movie three or four times. That's something I can't do with the others on my list.

A list of reasons why I love this movie:
-"I want an official Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air riffle... ooooh"
-"You'll shoot your eye out!"
-Dressing up for school was like preparing yourself for extended deep sea diving. "I can't put my arms down!"
-Flick sticking his tongue tot he flag pole. "I triple dog dare you!"
-Scut Farkus and his yellow eyes.. "So help me God, yellow eyes"
-the Bumpuses's smelly hound dogs
-"Meatloaf, smeatloaf, double-beatloaf, I hate meatloaf."
-Fra-gee-lay
-the leg lamp, "There was only one thing that could keep me away from the soft glow of electric sex gleaming in the window."
-OH FUDGE!!! -"the F dash dash dash word"
-soap poisoning
-"Be sure to drink your Ovaltine"
-Ralphie beating up Scut Farkus
-"Daddy's gonna kill Ralphie"
-Meeting Santa - "AHHHH" "OK, get him out of here!" "I like the Wizard of Oz."
-the pink bunny suit, - "He looks like a deranged Easter bunny." "He looks like a pink nightmare"
-"Oh my gosh, I shot my eye out!"
-"An icicle fell from the garage... They bought it."
-The Bumpuses's dogs eat the turkey, "SONS OF BITCHES! BUMPUSES!"
-Eating at the Chinese Restaurant, "Fa, ra, ra, ra, ra"

The "Flag Pole" scene.

College Bound

That's right, school could be in my plans for next fall.

Ideas of where to go and what to study have been flowing through my head. Lets just hope that I make the right decision.

I'll be sure to keep you informed throughout my decision process.

Christmas Movie Number 2: Christmas Vacation

Why I picked it: Well, Christmas Vacation is such a classic comedy. It's got enormous family Christmas trees, a house covered in lights, Cousin Eddie, extreme sledding, electrocuted cats, squirrels jumping out of trees, exploding turkeys, a plastic Santa and reindeer flying through the sky, and much more.

Every year there are a few Christmas movies that me and my family just sit and watch together and this is one of them.(Christmas Movie Number 1 being the other). I come from a family that loves "Vacation" movies. We probably quote those movies more so than any other movie. We will quote lines from Christmas Vacation, whether it is Christmas time or not. If you know me, then you know that I quote lines from movies all the time. If you pay attention, you will probably catch a few from this movie.

Haha... Cousin Eddie is pretty funny in this movie. Haha... It's such a funny movie! You are probably waiting for me to throw in some quotes from this movie, but I'm not gonna. It's more fun to do it in person. So if you wanna discuss this movie, you know where to find me.

I clip from the movie(I couldn't find much, but this will do. Enjoy)

Fried pussy cat...

Chrismas Movie Number 3: Elf

Why I picked it: First off, I'm a big Will Ferrell fan. From SNL to movies, Will Ferrell has always made me laugh. He makes everyone laugh. Now if any of you are familar with Mr. Ferrell, then you probably already know that he really gets into his roles. He has a lot of fun playing his roles in different sketches and movies and Elf is no exception.

They really couldn't have picked a better actor to play Buddy the elf and it's nice to see Will Ferrell in a family comedy. Buddy shows us the true meaning of Christmas spirit(well not the true, true meaning) but, he does spread holiday cheer.

"The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear."

That's what he does. He travels all the way from the North Pole, through the Forest of candy canes and through the Lincoln Tunnel, to find his real father, who happens to need a little boost on his Christmas Spirit. He also falls in love with a store elf and spreads some Christmas spirit to her as well.

He also teaches us about the four basic food groups, which are:
Candy
Candy Canes
Candy Corns
Syrup

There is so much more that I can say about this movie. It truly is one of my favorite Christmas movies. Even my grandma likes it.

Here is one of my favorites parts of the movie.

70 Days...

...with no pop!

Christmas Movies Number 4: Home Alone

Why I picked it: Well.. It's pretty obvious that this is a classic Christmas comedy. It's mostly of the slap-stick type, but it is the kind you like to watch over and over again. This movie also shows the the importance of having a family around for the holidays, even if you or others can be pain in the butts.

This movie taught us all about love, responsibility, facing our fears, and home security. When I was younger, after watching this movie, I kind of wanted burglars to break into our house. That way it would give me an excuse to set up booby traps. I mean seriously, who wouldn't want to do that? I should also note that Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, was a good sequel. It just didn't make my list because the original is such a classic.

Probably my favorite part of the movie...

Christmas Movies Number 5: Gremlins

There is actually a debate on whether or not this is a Christmas movie, but it pretty much takes place on Christmas Eve. Lets see, there are Christmas decorations, Christmas music, movies, snowmen, cookies, and Santas... so why wouldn't this be a Christmas movie? Well... it is a Christmas movie and it's number 5 on my list.

Why: Well because it's just a funny movie and it brings something a little different to the genre. I mean who doesn't want to see cute little fury things multiply and then turn into little monsters that terrorize a town on Christmas Eve.?

When I was younger, I always wanted Gizmo as my pet. I'm pretty sure I would remember the following rules.

1. Never bring him into bright light, especially sunlight because that would kill him.
2. Never have have him come in contact with water(unless I wanted more)
3. Never, ever feed him after midnight(because that makes him turn bad)
hmm... I think I have a new one...
4. Never get him to say the phrase, "Deal... or no deal"

One of my favorite scenes is when all of the gremlins are in a movie theatre watching Snow White.

Ten Years and Running...

This month marks the tenth year anniversary for my nickname, "Chunk". It's hard to believe that it's been ten years since I've been in Jr. High. So many great memories...

So... Chunk... here's to another ten+ years.

Preview: Chunk's Favorite Christmas Movies

Starting Monday(tomorrow), I will be counting down my top 5 favorite Christmas movies. So Mon-Fri, you will be seeing a different title, poster, clips, and why I like the movie.

Movies, Games, Parties, and the Holiday Season

My posts have been too short lately and that is never a good thing. I'm very sorry for my lack of... everything. So I have a few things I could probably talk about.

Movies - So I have been watching a lot of movies lately. Most of them are from this past summer. It was a really good summer for movies. Look forward to me discussing or throwing in a mini-review of all the movies I've been watching lately.

Games- (Well, video games to be more specific) So a few months ago my Xbox 360 died on me. I didn't really do anything about it until like a week ago, when I decided that I should just ship it in to get it repaired. So I shipped it in to microsoft and now they are repairing my 360. It will take 2-3 weeks, but that's nothing compared to the 2 months that I've been without it. Now I like video games, but I'm not someone who sits there and plays constantly, I usually play about 2 or 3 days a week. I'm just looking forward to getting this system back so I can get back into playing Rock Band, the best party game ever. So yeah, another system I own, is the Nintendo Wii and I've been playing that with my friends lately. Every time my friends come over, we end up playing Mario Kart or Super Smash Bros. Melee. Both are extremely fun games. Lately I have been craving some Nintendo 64 action... Goldeneye 64, NFL Blitz, RUSH 2, etc. Which kind of brings me to my next topic, "Parties".

Parties- I guess this kind of goes with movies too, but I've been in kind of a party mood lately. A few weeks I had four friends over for a little get together. Yeah, I know four people isn't necessarily a party, but for my small apartment, it is a rockin party. We played games, watched movies, ate pizza, talked, and joked around. It was really good time. It was the first party or whatever that I had in that apartment and I've been living there for over 2 years now. Well now I am thinking about throwing another mini-party, one with a Nintendo 64 theme. So basically we are just gonna play N64 games and Goldeneye 64(the best first person shooter ever period) being the main game. So planning I am.

Holiday Season- Yep, the holiday season is here.... Ok let me rephrase that...The CHRISTmas season is here. That sounds better. Lets just not forget that He is the reason for the season. I guess I kind of say that to myself as a reminder to myself. I guess around this time of year I kind of get into a "Blah la la la la" mood. It's a good mood, but I just end up getting blinded by other things, such as... Christmas Lights(the way the Ingalls look at them), Christmas movies, gifts, food, etc. that I just never look into the real reason of the season. Christ the King is born. I will celebrate that with my friends and family. Yeah!

Well... a post, kind of "nerdy" at times, but it was something to read. I don't feel like looking over grammer or spelling, so if something is wrong... just deal with it. Haha... I type this at the end of the post, so you have already dealt with it. I mean, I should just type that warning at the begining and not the end, but oh well, I'm lazy. Haha... Just don't judge, I guess.

Well, have a good one!

Hello December

That's all I've got.
