Apparently if NBC drops the beloved sitcom, which is seemingly what may happen, ABC is foaming at the mouth to pick it up, coddle it, and give it an 18-Episode order. From what I remember though, Zack Braff said that this would be the last season; who knows if he wants to do it anymore.
It's been a great show, for a long time. ABC could do it some justice I suppose. Scrubs has been a filler show for NBC for the last two years, it's time it got some mainstream promotion.

Thank you Wilma, for all you've done.
Wilma is my savior, literally so too. I mean, let me tell you a story:
Last night, I come home with the intention of ordering tickets to the Bamboozle Festival which is on two days, with two different concerts. The May 3rd show consists of Jimmy Eat World, Jacks Mannequin, and Paramore. The May 4th show is the show I intended to order tickets too. Panic at the Disco, Phantom Planet, Motion City Soundtrack, Cobra Starship, among others.
So I order the tickets with the intention of May 4th, because obviously that's the better show. I love Jimmy Eat World and Jacks Mannequin, but the rest of the lineup sucks. It's just not worth the money to go. So we decided we're going to go (Dan-O and I), and ordered May 4th tickets - however - after checkout - we notice that they gave us May 3rd tickets and not May 4th.
I was fuming, as you can possibly imagine; I went onto WaMu's customer care and tried to get the transaction reversed because much to my chagrin, Ticketmaster's return policy is pretty much non-existant...So, after I did 2+ hours on "The Ron Show" I took a shower, cooled down, and basically wanted to kill someone anyway. I didn't, however, kill anyone. I went to bed, partially drunk, but mainly with just a headache.
I woke up realized that my car-insurance was due, gave my dad a check and went back to sleep. Then realized (I thought anyway) that my car payment was due, but it wasn't. I get to work, they're busy, and I decide to call Ticketmaster (I was hold for about 25 minutes, before I decided to hang up). About an hour later, around 5:30pm, I called back. I talked to someone who didn't speak english...thankfully they couldn't help me; and shipped me over to Customer Service.
This is where Wanda the greatest Ticketmaster Employee evar comes in. She basically comes right and tells me "You fucked something up" and I was like "I think it was Ticketmaster.com" and she says "Okay, I'll see what I can do" and works her magic, I compliment her and brown nose and she comes and says "You wanted May 4th right?" and I said "Yes..." and she says "Alright, these tickets are going out immediately, you'll have May 4th tickets." I was ecstatic that she had taken care of this, and gave her many many props. I even said that my brother and I are her new best friends...
Then I called in to make sure they were the right tickets, and the automated service said they were tickets for May 4th in Buffalo...
So, I was pissed again, as I held on the line I felt my blood pressure boiling to the point of explosion. I held in my anger, when another woman came on the line, I do not remember her name, but she told me that the tickets are for the Meadowlands in New Jersey and not anywhere near Buffalo. Thank God for that.
Wilma did good, she hooked a stressed out and angered guy out, and really put the service in Customer Service. For that, I am very pleased, but still pissed that Ticketmaster.com is such a piece of shit.
Alright, so the concert I'm going to, and have General Admission tickets for is May 4th, according to this person:
Motion City Soundtrack, Panic! at The Disco (new album out this coming month March), Phantom Planet, The Hush Sound, Bret Michaels, 30H!3, All Time Low, Anti-Flag, Article A, As Tall as Lions, Automatic Loveletter, Between the Trees, Charlotte Sometimes, Circa Survive, Cobra Starship, Danger Radio, David Costa, Elmo's Big Band, Envy On the Coast, Finch, Forever the Sickest Kids, Gym Class Heroes, Hip Hop Karaoke, I am the Avalanche, I Was A Cub Scout, Just Surrender, Mayday Parade, Paper Rival, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Senses Fail, Straylight Run, The Academy Is..., The Attack, The Banner, The Bouncing Souls, The Cab, The Dear Hunter, The Fall of Troy, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, The Receiving End of Sirens, The Starting Line, Thrice, Tyga, We The Kings, You, Me, and Everyone We Know, My American Heart, The Blackout, The White Tie Affair.
So, this concert is going to be fucking crazy.

When Robots Attack...Part I.
No, this isn't about The Terminator it would be cool if it was, but it's not. It's about an article I read (barely skimmed) about "Experts Warn of Robotic Terrorism."
Fuck.
Seriously, we have enough to worry about. Guys flying planes into buildings, fucking chemical warfare. Now, Now I have to worry about God Damn robots?
Fuck you guys.
Again. I don't understand why I have to be warned about this, I'd rather it just happened and be pissed that no one warned us. Richard Starkey, a supposed scientist said:
"It is very easy to go to the Internet ... or go down to the scrapyard and put a robot together," Starkey said. "You don't need (it) to last long if you want to explode it among a civilian population."
Uh. I don't know about anyone else who wasn't in the Robot Building Club in High School, but I cannot build a robot. I can't go down to the local scrap yard and find a T3000 laying there with it's beady little read eyes, ready to be programmed to kill. I want to see a show of hands? How many people can build a robot from scrap?
No, you can't just put tinfoil on your dog and call it a robot, it doesn't work that way. Be that as it may - the threat of robot terrorism is real. They're going to swoop in and steal all your nuts and bolts, and then probably your women, because...
and this is where the good stuff comes in...
It's all about sexual terrorism.
Love and Sex with Robots is a book about the Evolution of the Human-Robot Relationship; it's written by David Levy. I haven't read it, but I'm considering reading what has to be the most bat-shit crazy insane book ever. This guy really truly believes that humans are going to have sex with robots; he was on The Colbert Report and even Stephen Colbert couldn't keep a straight face. Apparently Levy says in the book that we're going to have sex with robots within in 5 years (Awesome) and fall in love with them within 40 years (Not so much awesome as it is ....fucking crazy).
I don't know about you guys, but the closest I've come to loving a machine is my new Blackjack II; it's fantastic, but it's truly a innocent relationship.
Check out the original yahoo.com and a YouTube video featuring this guy David "Bat-Shit-Crazy-Insane" Levy.
Fuck.

I found this to be hilarious...
So, I get this MLB Newsbreakers thing, from ...who the fuck knows where. Basically it just arrives in my gmail every night at like 2am. I don't ask where it comes from, I just read it. Every day.
This particular piece of news, I found to be completely and utterly laughable. I literally said "Oh Really? You are, huh?" out loud, to no one.
He sucks. End of story. You don't get in the rotation of a Big League Ball club because you throw strikes. You gotta be able to win games, fo shizz.
What the *@$#?!

| The News Mike Pelfrey allowed one hit over two innings while striking out one for the Mets on Wednesday. "I don't know if it was a dominating performance, but I know I did a lot of things right," Pelfrey said on a report on the AP. "All I wanted to do was be aggressive and throw strikes and that's what I was able to do." |
| Our View Pelfrey, who was 3-8 with a 5.57 ERA last season, will battle Orlando Hernandez for the Mets fifth and final rotation spot this year. |

I figured it out.
I figured out what Generation we live in; I figured it out.
We live in:
The Hoodie Generation.
I don't understand why, but we do. I don't even wear hoodie sweatshirts. I do not own a jacket that has a hood. I have a Peacoat and a regular sweater thing that I wear constantly. I don't understand the hoodie thing. If you're not wearing a hat, your hair is completely messed up, if you're wearing a hat, you have to take it off anyway, so you look like a douche.
That's just my opinion.
But I'm right.

The Frog King
Holy Shit.
First of all The Frog King flick did not fall off the face of the Earth. Ellis did write a script based on the Adam Davies novel, now Darren Star is attached to directed with Joseph Gordon-Levitt attached to star.
Very fucking cool.
