YouTube?
June 24, 2006 9:55 pm General, Movie Related, TechnologyI’ve decided that YouTube.com is one of the greatest innovations to hit the internet in recent history. Okay, so I’ve actually known this for a while now as I’ve been using it since it first launched, but it seems that now you can find pretty much anything on it. Seriously… It’s amazing. I’ve just been typing in old TV shows that I used to watch when I was younger for nostalgic reasons, and I’m finding so much. Shows like Tiny Toons, Muppet Babies, Reboot, Sonic The Hedgehog (the cartoon), Ren And Stimpy, The Raccoons, Tom And Jerry, Gummy Bears, Animaniacs, Pinky And The Brain, and so many more… Heck, I could even find the intro to Under The Umbrella Tree on there. It’s fantastic. You can also find video clips for old games and what not that you haven’t played since you were a kid. YouTube: talk about the ultimate nostalgia run. You can also (obviously) find video from current shows on TV like the Simpsons. Pretty funny stuff… I could spend all day on this.
Speaking of watching things, two guys from work and I went to see Nacho Libre last night at the late showing. It was… interesting. ha. It was pretty stupid, along the lines of Napoleon Dynamite, but it had more of a plot than that one so I was happy about that. It was pretty funny for most of the movie, but there were a couple of especially hilarious moments that had the three of us almost in tears. I’d recommend watching it, but I don’t know if it’s a must see on the big screen or not. If not, at least watch it once on DVD whenever it comes out.
I received an interesting e-mail the other day entitled “Fraud.” It was from a “Joshua McConnell” claiming that I’m using his name with permission and that I need to go by something else from now on so I don’t hurt his image with the ladies (since, you know, I’m not as good looking as him). ha. It was amusing… Juvenile, but amusing nonetheless.
I need to travel more. I’m so tempted this year to just hop on a plane and fly somewhere, even though I wouldn’t have any sort of transportation once I get to wherever I’m going (aside from public transporation). I just want to see some sights, experience different places outside of my own province, and so on… One day…
Anyway, it’s almost 11 PM and I want to read some of my book. I really need to stop searching YouTube…
Rock on.
