"African-American" Friday Madness Redux!

Yeah, no, I didn't go shopping early this morning.  I just felt the need to rehash this gimmick just like I did last year.  I was smart and did my shopping online again.  Actually, I literally just got most of my presents bought.  However, when I went to Amazon, I saw that Fallout: New Vegas and Fable III, two games I've been looking forward to playing well before they were released, were knocked down to $35 and $30 respectively.  So I decided to put New Vegas in my cart for the time being while I did the rest of my shopping, planning to just take it back out of the cart at the end once I realized the damage I've done.  But as I continued shopping, I was told that I had only 14 minutes or else New Vegas would go back up to regular price.  Yeesh.  So if there's an online shopping equivalent to just running around and grabbing random stuff, I did that.  Well, I did put SOME thought into my purchases, just not as much as I would've liked.  So I got most of my family taken care of with just a couple gifts left to go.  All in all, I only spent about $70, half of that on myself.  So I'm kinda proud, I guess.

A Whole Lotta Nothin'

I'm not even sure why I'm doing a blog entry when I really don't have much to write about.  Maybe just to show myself I can?  I don't know.  But due to a lethal combination of depression, worry, anxiety, apathy and empathy, my motivation to do much of anything, let alone write, has been sapped from me.  So I don't know why I'm doing this when I could be doing other things.  I could be finishing the script I'm writing for a short film that'll probably never get made.  I have most of it in my head already, I'm just stuck in a spot where I don't feel like continuing.  I could be polishing up some material for stand-up that I've been bouncing around in my brain but I don't know when I'll get up on stage next.  Hell, I haven't even really been watching many movies to write up a half-assed Random Movie Roundup.  For some reason, all I've really watched was the entire run of Viva La Bam, followed up by watching all the Street Fighter films (Sonny Chiba, not the video game) and right now I'm watching some wrestling in the background while writing this.  I'd like to do another podcast soon but with the hectic holiday season, it's harder for my friends to get together for gaming (which I don't even do much of anymore), let alone watching a crappy movie.  I've gotten a few new CDs over the past few months but have opted to do any sort of reviews on them, saving them for the obligatory Year End Best Of list.  But will I even have the motivation for that when the time comes?  It's coming up on a whole year of writing this blog and I never imagined I would have petered out like this.  Maybe I had lofty goals, hoping to be some sort of presence on the Internet like so many reviewers or useless vloggers before me.  But when it seems like life in general is like some sort of losing game, I guess doing something like this pales in comparison in the grand scheme of things.  And I don't know if my certain scheme of things is all that "grand".

I really need something to turn things around soon or else.

The First "Sarcasmatron @ The Movies" Podcast is UP!

Alright, I know I've mentioned doing a podcast for the blog before, especially since we recorded one a good couple weeks ago and I haven't been motivated enough to actually post it.  Well, wonder no more because I have finally posted the first in a series which I like to call "Sarcasmatron @ The Movies" to blip.tv.  The more you listen to this, it will become plainly obvious that this is a trial run.  If we get enough listeners and receive enough feedback, then we'll keep doing them.  Trust me, I have plenty of bad movies to choose from.

Unfortunately, I'm apparently having issues with posting an embedded player on the blog, here's your options:
