…which one of these videos is more amazing. I mean, they both are ridawesome (ridiculously awesome, and yes, I call trademark on that word).
First, we have the Knights of Cydonia video, by the band Muse. You should just watch the video, and you’ll quickly understand why it is ridawesome, but I’ll also tell you: 1) the song is great. Every time I hear it I get all pumped up to go do…something. I’m still not sure what yet, but I know that as soon as I figure out what I am supposed to be doing I’ll be rocking it hardcore style. 2) The guy in the band with the Hulk Hogan mustache. 3) Unicorns! Lasers! In a Western! Enough said…
And next we have a little remix – My Body is a Cage, by Arcade Fire. Now this isn’t the official music video, but a video made by a guy who liked the song and thought it needed to be a spaghetti western music video. So he put the music to some scenes from Sergio Leone’s “Once Upon a Time in the West” (no, I haven’t seen it, but I want to now). And personally I think it fits well, and he did a pretty damn good job of it. Plus, like the Muse video, the song is very amazing.
What do you think? I like them both, and I had to share…
The thing I’m most surprised about is his balance. He can’t deal with his sandals at all, but he only has slight issues with balance. I kept expecting him to fall over when he was bending down to pick up his shoes.
I finally figured out how to embed the actual Youtube video in my blog! Hooray!
Ok, now that I’ve got that out of the way, about the video: I met this guy at the gym I go to on Thursday night. And I have two things to say about him. 1) He’s a funny dude, even in his limited English way. 2) Even before knowing he was a MMA fighter, I definitely would not have messed with him. He looks like the type of guy that would be able to mess you up, with or without any training whatsoever. He’s just the type of guy that looks like he can take a hit or 8, then come out raging for your head. And after watching some of the Youtube videos he’s got up online, that seems like exactly the type of guy he is. Hopefully he sees me as a friend…
What do you give the guy/girl that has it all? Why the Nicolas Cage Adventure Set, of course. What better shows off your cinematic savoir faire then having his beaut on your fridge?
(One of these days I’ll figure out how to actually embed a Youtube player into this blog. But for now, just click on the link, it is definitely worth it)

That’s right, I just finished watching Benchwarmers (with David Spade, Rob Schneider, and Napoleon Dynamite [I would write his real name, but no one would have any idea who I'm talking about]), and it was without a doubt the dumbest movie I’ve ever seen. The plot was horrible (not to mention more tired than an octogenarian after 4pm), the actors were annoying*, and the cliched bullies were uninspired to say the least.
That being said, I laughed my ass off at the movie. There were so many one-liners, bad jokes, and other physical comedy that I couldn’t help but enjoy watching The Benchwarmers. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll never watch it again, I’m just saying that I don’t think that the last two hours of my life were a complete waste.
*I have to admit that I hate David Spade. He grates on me in ways that I can’t even begin to explain, starting with his voice, following through with his style of humor, and ending any time he has a mustache. I’m not a fan. I’m not a fan of Napoleon Dynamite either, the movie or the actor. Maybe it’s because I grew up in Idaho, and the movie hit a little too close to home. Whatever. Although I will say that this is the first movie I’ve seen with Rob Schneider where I’ve actually enjoyed his role.
