Things I Learned in 2011

I wasn't going to write a reflection of 2011 as I thought it would be old news by the time 2012 rolled around but I figured I should share some of the wisdom I have learned over the last 12 months with my readers. I can't let you go out into this new year without some sort of understanding of how it works. Especially since the end is coming soon and we should live it up while we have the opportunity.

1 - Any movie can be re-written as Die Hard.

2 - It is harder to become a cop then Police Academy would have us believe.

3 - People still want to see Tom Cruise movies, I think it has something to do with their fear that he will find a way into their homes at night and convert them to Scientology. Tom is much like a vampire folks you must invite him in.

4 - Children's clothes are sized in odd ways and it makes me want to clothe my children in burlap until they are teenagers so as to avoid the confusion.

5 - Skyrim really is as awesome as everybody said.

6 - Never go out of your way to go to the Cheesecake Factory as you will wind up going to a restaurant that is nothing like the Cheesecake Factory to avoid the wait and realize later you didn't have to drive the 26 miles to have dinner.

7 - I think Bobby is dead. Not cool Supernatural.

8 - Zooey Deschenal is funny, cute, and annoying all at the same time.

9 - Moving sucks.

10 - Harry Potter "8" was a big disappointment.

11 - People are afraid to face the apocalyptic visions of the future unless safely tucked away in their beds at home.

12 - I still can't figure out why the weapons in Dead Rising deteriorate so fast. I want to keep the sledgehammer the whole time.

13 - I think people may be ready to move past zombies and leave my horror movie monsters to me and me alone. 2012 will be the year of the werewolf.

14 - Kids really don't like t-shirts as much as we thought.

15 - Apathy is the best medicine for a messed up system.

16 - 3D movies may actually just be a gimmick that the land of Hollywood may start using less often.

17 - Where the bodies are kept.


18 - That television critics really don't know what they are talking about.

19 - Neither do television producers.

20 - The only thing that can cure a case of the Monday's is Electric Light Orchestra.

Happy New Year folks and I hope to bring you more fun and humor over the next 12 months, at least until the world ends.
