Hi, My Name is Determination

Well hello there Determination. My name is Philip and I am bored. It is 7:08 at night and I am still at the office. I have been up since 7 this morning so 11 of the 12 hours I've been awake have been at work. But hey, I need to be here so I'm not that pissed. I'll be pissed if I'm here tomorrow after 1, but I'll deal with it. I love this blog thing because I can bitch and not have to dump it on anyone. If you don't want to read my bitching rant you can just not read a particular post.

Soon (God, please let it be soon) I will rush home and shower. Then I'll head up to Newby's for two events. The first is a party for graduate brothers (alumni) thrown by the Memphis chapter of my Fraternity. The second is a Phoenix Club fundraiser concert with Ingram Hill. At this moment, I'm not entirely enthused about either reason I'm going there. I'm looking forward to walking into the damn bar and yelling "Yo bartender, Jo-Boo needs a refill!" If you are so culturally clueless that you don't know what movie I am quoting, I'll led you in:

Major League

If you've never seen it, I recommend you take back whatever chick flick you and your significant other got at the movie store or ordered from Netflix. Get Major League, sit down, and laugh your fat ass off. Laughing is better for you than crying. No, I'm not a doctor, but it is common sense. If you watch a sad, dramatic movie, you are very sensitive and have a strong urge to look inward in an attempt to grow as a person (blah blah blah). If you watch a great comedy, you will (obviously) laugh and smile. And what kind of person do we want to be around more: a person who is smiling or someone who needs to change their emotion tampon? (was that too harsh? if so, go to a PETA fundraiser, you Politically Correct wimp)

So I'm going to put up a few great comedies you need to watch if you haven't seen them:
Blazing Saddles
Something About Mary
Young Frankenstein
Space Balls
Caddyshack
Some Like It Hot
Old School
Animal House
Coming To America
Anchorman
Christmas Vacation
Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail
The Great Outdoors
The Blues Brothers
Kelly's Heroes
The Ladies Man
Office Space
Swingers
Wedding Crashers
40 Year Old Virgin
Van Wilder

That should be enough flicks. Go laugh and make everyone around you happier by your friggin change in personality.

I'm outta here. "Bartender, Jo-Boo needs a refill!"

Interesting list, quite a few "classic" comedies there...
I did notice a few of my "newere" favs missing...
Zoolander
Dumb and Dumber
and no Adam Sandler?
Hmmm...

BTW, I hear Benchwarmers is very good.
