Please Welcome Obvious Bob

Obvious Bob's social tip of the day: Surprise! your actions affect everyone around you.

This has been an Obvious Bob Tip of the day. Stayed tuned for future tips that will help you better navigate life.

So last night we were hanging out and watching movies: Dru, Tim, Andrew, Jon, Asuka, and I. After Jungle-2-Jungle was over, Tim picked out Rain Man to watch. Later, when that was over, we threw in Earth Girls Are Easy, a wild 80's movie featuring 3 hairy aliens portrayed by Jeff Goldblum, Jim Carey, and one of the Wayans brothers. They are red, yellow, and blue, and the movie features a lot of insane neon colors, dancing, and songs; about as far away from Rain Man as a movie can get.

A little way into Earth Girls Are Easy, Andrew turns to Jon and says, "For a second I was watching this and thought, how is this going to relate back to Tom Cruise being an asshole to a retarded guy?"

thank you Andrew.

Feels Good to Feel Good

December is a more than just a special month filled with gift giving holidays like Hanukkah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa.  It's a magical month because during these holidays the art of gift giving is used as a way to show your appreciation for another.  Although we tend to mainly focus on family and friends as our main recipient's, the gift giving doesn't have to stop there and even better is doesn't have to be materialistic or cost you a penny.  With that being said I am proud to announce the 2nd annual Social Impoliteness Awareness Month.  We have declared the month of December to be recognized as the month for raising awareness to use more social politeness in our everyday lives.  (Remember its the little things that go a long way.)  

You may be asking yourself, "Damn Say Word, how can I be more socially polite?  It's easy, you don't have to go over the top, just stick to the basics.  Please, thank you, and your welcome are always a solid go to. Another simple gesture could be holding the door for someone, paying a compliment to a complete stranger, or telling a corny joke to bring a smile to a sad face.  Above all just be courteous and kind, all your efforts won't be rewarded but don't sweat it, keep on sprinkling showers of goodness and positivity.

If you catch yourself getting wrapped up in the feel good spirit and want to do more there are other simple things you can do as well.  Such as stop lying to yourself and get rid of some of them old ass clothes that you know you ain't going wear and donate them to a clothing drop box or the next time your out shopping grab a few cans of food and take them to a food drive.  There's a ton of things you can do but the main goal is to simple, give the gift of courtesy and politeness. So try putting a smile of someones face, you might just end up putting one on your own, because Lord knows it feels good to feel good. Say Word!   

To All You Eeyores Out There

For those of you who may not know this, Eeyore is the sad little donkey from Whinnie the Pooh who has an abundance of self-pity and total lack of enthusiasm for life in general.

With that said, I would like to state that I know too many Eeyores! These people are habitual complainers. They always focus on the negative aspects of life and never the positive! These people whine and complain, but never want to do anything about their problems; except bitch about them! It isn't necessarily that we positive and optimistic people dislike you Debbie Downers. I think that what really just rubs us the wrong way is that you don't ever decide to fix things! It is just constant complaints about the same things over and over forever without any effort to change the situation or attitude. There just aren't any human beings out there, no matter how patient, that can stand to listen to it forever. There comes a breaking point. DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE THINGS MAKING YOU UNHAPPY! OR AT LEAST TRY! You may find that just trying to change, and thinking positive thoughts makes a big difference and is a first step in becoming a more happy and optimistic person.

Life is a great thing and is too short to be unhappy all of the time. There are so many things out there to be happy about and grateful for! See some beauty and forget some ugliness. It might be hard, but it'll absolutely be worth it.

Leonid Meteor Shower Nov 2009

I feel like it is foolish to even try to put into words the night I just had. It was incredible and I want to be able to share it with everyone, so maybe I'll try to explain some of it. We of course knew that the meteor shower was going on and we were all pretty excited. We had heard it was supposed to be a big one; nothing like it in years. Since we live at the beach, it was a perfect meeting spot for anyone who wanted to come watch with us. We ended up with a good amount of people too: Me, Jon, Andrew, Dru, Asuka, Lauren Chinnery, Jess, Lexi, and two new friends Dave and Kyle.

Even with two people I had literally just met, the group dynamic was perfect. It felt like I have been friends with them just as long as anyone, and it is always great to meet anyone you can feel that way about. We pre-gamed in the apartment for a couple hours, and went out to see some meteors at about 2 a.m. (after we jammed to some more R. Kelly, and I don't joke when I say he lifts us up).

We went to the end of the island where it is super dark. It was incredible. I have never seen stars like that in my life. Not even on a desert mountain in California. There were so so many! It was beautiful. We saw a lot of shooting stars, and about 3 meteors that literally lit up the sky! So mind blowing! There was even one that shot parallel to the horizon over the water! It was cold, but you couldn't ask for a more perfect night. We did some group huddles, which sounds corny, but we were feeling good, and they just completed our night.

Wow. Way to go Universe.

"What time is it?" "Meteor Shower!" "What time is it?!" "Meteor Shower"
"Who are we?!" "Meteor Shower!"

R. Stevens has an R. Kelly morning.

It has been a long time since all members of Randal Stevens were together under one roof. Thankfully, today, that has changed that and we are here on this Sunday afternoon lovin it. So that said, here we go.....Real Talk:

R. Kelly definitely thinks that he can say whatever he wants and it'll sound cool just because he is the one who said. This is pretty apparent when you listen to some of his song lyrics. Which, here, at Randal Stevens, we absolutely love. Today R. Stevens had an R. Kelly morning. An R. Kelly, Sunday morning, which has been declared by the boys to be church. R. Kelly church. I don't totally disagree though. We are feelin good and uplifted and these boys really love R. Kelly and I really love them. We got R. Kelly bumpin and I hope the people upstairs are jammin along with us.

"remember the video with his grandma's face in the sky and he's wearin white swooshies and his grandma is braidin his hair on the porch?!"

NWA and Gwar

So, a very long time ago, I made myself a mix cd. On this cd I included both "Gangsta Gangsta" by NWA and "The Salaminizer" by Gwar. I noticed something odd about the two when compared:

Lyrics to Gangsta Gangsta :
Here's a little somethin' bout a nigga like me
never shoulda been let out the penititary
Ice Cube would like ta say
That I'm a crazy mutha fucka from around the way
Since I was a youth, I smoked weed out
Now I'm the mutha fucka that ya read about
Takin' a life or two
that's what the hell I do, you don't like how I'm livin
well fuck you!
This is a gang, and I'm in it
My man Dre'll fuck you up in a minute
With a right left, right left you're toothless
And then you say goddamn they ruthless!
Everwhere we go they say [damn!]
N W A's fuckin' up tha program
And then you realize we don't care
We don't just say no, we to busy sayin' yeah!
To drinkin' straight out the eight bottle
Do I look like a mutha fuckin role model?
To a kid lookin' up ta me
Life ain't nothin but bitches and money.
Cause I'm tha type o' nigga that's built ta last
If ya fuck wit me I'll put a foot in ya ass
See I don't give a fuck 'cause I keep bailin
Yo, what the fuck are they yellin

Gangsta, Gangsta! That's what they're yellin
[KRS One] "It's not about a salary, it's all about reality"
Gangsta, Gangsta! That's what they're yellin
"Hopin you sophisticated motherfuckers hear what I have to say"

Lyrics To Slamainizer:

Here's a little song from a god to a slave
Never should'a been let out the fuckin' microwave!
I'm on your planet, I'm runnin' amuck
I should give a shit, but I don't give a fuck, NO!
Since a was a scumdog, I blew a cum-wad
I need a mutherfuckin' Suck-a-dick-a-lick-a-log!
Burning a mall or two, I think I'm gonna spew!
If you don't wanna fuckin' fuck me, I'll fuck YOU!
This is your ass, and I'm in it!
My man, Sexy, fuck you up in a minute!
With an axe, sword, mace, pike you're limbless...
Then I'll fuck your ass 'till it's rimless!

Oh, you humans always screamin'
Oh, as you suckle on my semen
Oh, and the shit is always steamin'

Nicely done Gwar. Who ever would have thought that Gwar would take lyrics from NWA? Not me.

STUPID SHIT

Money is typically valuable because it is backed by gold. It gives it some some worth and a point. Here in America our money is no longer backed by gold. This is really really dumb. This means that our money is only worth something because we SAY it is. Only because we have decided that it has a value. It is like you saying to your parents when you were a kid, "why?" and them saying "because i said so". It is a completely faith based system.

So basically, money is made up and means nothing. It is stupid and really actually has no value at all. We might as well be using Monopoly money. Seriously. We really might as well be because I could just as easily proclaim that that money means something too. Woo way to go.

don't you just want to run around and play?

Today is the exact kind of day i live for. the day when you finally get to roll all the windows down in your car while you drive on the highway with amazing music turned up so loud you can't even hear yourself singing along. the air smells like miracle grow because everyone is out enjoying the splendor. this kind of day, and feeling, ranks way up there in the list of the best feelings in the world. thank you sunshine.

avast ye mother fuckers!

so on sunday april 20th, wink wink i was watching a fox news show called the red eye. entertaining us with gut busting stories like "airlines to charge double for fat people" or "this ny times writer is boycotting jeans" shit like that.  So i got to thinking, maybe this show put all of their most ridiculous stories together for this particular day (4/20 at midnight) to try and coax some budmen from adult swim over to the news. boost the ratings with some stories of absurdity.  

once this epiphany hits me, i look to the screen to confirm my theory and see that they're talking about all the recent pirate attacks on us ships.  somewhat disappointed, i realized that it wasnt all crazy puff pieces and they were talkin about some serious shit. but then I got to thinking... 

pirates have no land that they claim for their own. maybe theyre going to war with everyone in the one place they can defend their own, the sea.  now imagine if pirates took over the sea?? how much would that shit  change.  imagine if new jersey was then invaded? our lovely garden state would turn into a pirate country. picture how living in philly would be? we'd all have to get guns. we'd probably be pretty grimey deviant people.  all cuz of these fucking pirates.

either way, fox red eye is one fucking ridiculous show. damn.

GARBAGE!

Everything in the world is just garbage-in-the-making. Garbage-to-be, if you will. People make a big deal out of trash laying around on the ground (and I'm not saying they shouldn't) but if we want to get serious and real, everything in the world is really just trash. We just don't think of things that way because they are things we use. If a house is abandoned it is considered and eye sore, a waste, and garbage. Well just because we are living in the house now doesn't mean it isn't doomed to the same fate. It too will one day be trash in a land fill. Sure, that won't happen for a long time, but it will. Cars, book bags, computers, buildings, swimming pools, on and on and on. It is all trash. I just think it is weird that just because something is in use at any given moment we don't see it as waste and trash and whatever. But as soon as a can is empty, or our shoes are dirty, or our house is empty, it is garbage. These issues are unavoidable, but it is still something to think about. I hope that some part of that made sense to people. I can't explain what I mean any better then that, but it makes total sense to me.

Randal Stevens son.

what do you knowww

stiff upper lip

dj tanner reporting live from where ever the hell i am. so randal stevens in its entirety along with miss asuka just returned from red robin for a lovely burger filled evening.our waitress' name was mina (and i hope that somehow she stumbles across this) and she was a bit jimmy fallon-esq (not an insult). she was a bit frazzled and it seemed like she lost herself a couple of times. we talked about bird tattoos and shit like that, spitting the breeze. from the beginning of the night til the end was a steady decline for her and she seemed to get a little overwhelmed, be it people bitching or just too much to handle. we celebrated "ill allow it's" birthday and got some nice ice cream and balloon heads. by the end she was tearin up, oscar acceptance speech style, and it broke randal stevens heart to see it. to make things worse, we call asshole manager over to try and save her name. fatty came over shirt untucked, lookin like trailor park death, and "say word" told him that she was workin it and she did some good work. her work game was on point. her waitress game was in need, but we still had a great time. assface managerface said he'd pass it on, but im sure he wont. so mina, if you ever come across this, fuck that dood. lets get bird tattoos and say fuck it.

The 90's leading lady....

We are watching Happy Gilmore and the boys do not feel the leading lady is "hot". (I have to agree with them. Her hair looks like a helmet.) We were discussing how funny it is that she was considered a babe (apparently) in the 90's and how a lot of leading ladies of the time seem to be the same way. We also noticed she looks a lot like Hillary Clinton. As Andrew loves a good conspiracy he of course came up with a brilliant idea of why they might resemble each other so much:

"Hillary Clinton funded Happy Gilmore. She chose the leading female to have similar features as herself. She knew the movie would be a hit and everyone would love the leading lady. This would subconsciously make us love the way Hillary Clinton looks. Thus, leading to the presidential campaign of 2008" - Andrew "baby serpent" Reiner's words of wisdom.

Our Guide on How To Look Forward To Getting Old

Andrew and I were just discussing the ridiculous things we will do when we are old. I can't wait to be an old lady so I can mess with everyone. Everyone let's old people say and do whatever they want, "because they're old". Like that's a real reason to let people do whatever. So I'm going to take full advantage of that. I'm going to wear stretchy metallic silver pants and dye my hair pink and grope all the fruit at the grocery store because no one will say shit about it. Andrew said he is going to "be a dirty old man" and say things like "I just shit my pants."

Today, Andrew turned me into a Demon....and yeah, I totally thought it was Friday morning.

true story.

time travel?
i just called chelsea l holmes on a cellular phone. She was taking a thursday afternoon nap. When she awoke from her nap she believed it was friday morning in her mind. so, it was actually friday morning in her mind, all of thursday night was gone, lost in her sleep. When i informed her it was thursday evening... you know the rest.

just a taste of things to come...

"I'll Allow It" Holmes here. So The other bloggers and I recently went on a trip to the Poconos in Pennsylvania. We were also with two of our other friends Lauren and Laurie. It was super fun and of course lots of dumb shit went down.

We wrote down a whole night's worth of quotes so we would remember the dumb shit we said. I just want to share a few choice ones here. For old times sake.

DJ Tanner helped me pick some:

- "Rule # 76 Laurie! Play like a champion!" - Jon "Say Word" Moore shared this little life lesson with Laurie. Good advice.

- "I wanna piss on your earlobe, maybe just a little on your nose" - Yo, who knows what the fuck this is about.

- " I want a little coffee finger up my ass" - the speaker of this quote told me not to write it down when it happened so I'll spare him and not tell you who said it, haha.

- " You tryin to take a shit in a nest or what?" - Ms. Lauren Virginia Chinery. I also don't know what context this happened in, but I love it. And her.

and my personal favorite!: " Shooting stars are the corner stones of society." - Thank you Jon.
