Okay, so I got onto facebook tonight, with mildly low expectations. I quickly arrived at Tony's page that had a hilarious montage of schadenfreude clips. Spectacular. Loved it. Thank you, Tony. Then, I scrolled down to another friend's page with a link to a video with a screenshot of a woman saying "look at the way you dress." SOLD. If you know me, you know I love women. I was just at a dinner talking about how I really enjoyed watching JJ's girls's basketball b-team win last Thursday because strong women succeeding made me happy. And yes, I get how condescending that sounds, but shit, someone's gotta be happy, and I'm not ready to be that meta.
Here is the video, watch it before continuing reading. And yes, Mel told me that Lonnie posted it earlier, but I didn't know that!

Anyway...s(I know, Hannah, but it feels right to include the "s"), so the guy who posted it, a good guy, by the way, included the phrase, "Now, there is a small amount of nudity"...AND THEN, in the comments, a female poster said, "It's only nudity because it's a woman." This is the point at which my mind blew apart into a million mind-blown pieces. I was pregzWithEMO, I was like 8th trimester PREGZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
Onto the next topic: America the Beautiful. Really? Do I really know people who hated the Coca-cola ad? Do those people exist, or are they media-manufactured twitter handles that Fox News could use to remain relevant? I'm not quite sure.
NEXT: Lego Movie. WTF. Out of left field. Who saw this coming? When I first heard about Lego Movie, it was from Thomas. Usually, when Thomas is excited about something, I play "devil's advocate" (eh? eh? http://www.hulu.com/watch/591807) and HATE it. I don't know why. It's just something I do. Anyway...s (sorry, Hannah), I falsely-reluctantly(double adverb? are those legal?) went with him yesterday, and it was spectacular. I think what really sold me was the father son scene at the end. Now, I'm not saying I have daddy issues, which, yes, I didn't get a lot of hugs from him when I was a child, but I'm totally over that now because I'm an adult and I am so over that now because why wouldn't I be I'm so old and and totally don't care and I'm perfectly fine and nothing's wrong and I am so chill and cool with not getting hugs which I wanted and whatever.......................................................................................................Seriously, though, I've come to realize that that man will do absolutely anything for me. He's one of the few people that I would ask to drive me to the airport, which, by the way, is the worst thing you could ever ask of someone. I would ask a friend for a kidney before I asked for a ride to the airport. Shame on all of you. I would only ask...dad, mom(except, she's kind of a wild card on the freeway) sisters, Thomas, and Mel. Now where was I? Oh, right, Lego Movie. It has a really great father son scene. This is why I am really into Friday Night Lights, John Q, That one scene in Juno with Juno and the guy with the mustache in Spiderman starring Toby Maguire and not Andrew Garfield, Fresh Prince of Belair starring Will Smith as son and Ben Vereen from Zoobilee Zoo and Pippin as father http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3M1SC8BPhA , Big Fish, and Gone Home.
NEXT: I'd like to discuss Russian Olympics and The Hunger Games. They are the same.
NEXT: I'd like to discuss Super Fruit starring Mitch Grassi and Scott Hoying of Pentatonix fame. They do a hilarious and heart felt rendition of Frozen Medley feat. Kirstie Maldonado. Their other episodes are also fun-filled romps.
NEXT: I'd like to discuss how I really love my friends and how they make me feel about myself. Good.
ALSO: I'd like to discuss Brooklyn 99 and how I don't think Andy Samberg was good enough to win best actor, but I'm glad he won because I'm really pickin' up what SNL is puttin' down. I think that Diaz, Peretti, and Captain are spectacular, but I feel that Terry Crews is not given enough room to show his massive talent based off his comedic performances in White Chicks and Everybody Hates Chris.
Finally!: A student asked me last week when she saw I was having a miserable day of dealing with other students, "Mr. Pham, why are you a teacher? You should do something else where you don't have to put up with all this." I said to her, "well, there are a handful of students who are worth the sacrifice." In reality, it's a lot more than a handful. It's only a few that can ruin your day. The rest tho...the rest tho. #PregzWithEmo.
