Getting older has led to the WEIRDEST things. If you told me when I was 30, that 10 years later the following would happen I would've said you're crazy! Let's explore:
- As I mentioned in the title, getting dizzy is ROUGH. Getting up too fast when I hear my kid asking for me in the morning or just getting out of bed has led to some fun mornings. The things that are happening as I get older are so weird to me. Dizzy spells. Being tired literally early in the evenings. My back ALWAYS HURTS.
Back to vertigo, I haven't had it in years, then a few weeks ago, boom, dizzy. Fun fact, I also had a bout of vertigo on the very first TV show I ever hosted, did I hide it well? Yes. Was it all downhill from there? Also yes.
Quick tip to get rid of the vertigo/dizziness: put your body against a wall, standing up of course...and proceed to tilt your head side to side like the Roxbury Guys, then you're good to go...well that and prescription drugs of course.
- I still watch The Office!? There is so much content in entertainment it's insane. We are truly in the golden age of television, with some amazing shows I have yet to partake in. So I ask you this, why am I still willingly watching The Office!?
Same with The Simpsons, same if a random Seinfeld is on. Is it a comfort thing!? I'm about to binge watch the hell out of Curb Your Enthusiasm, so maybe I'll take a tiny break from watching the same episode of The Office for the 12th time...after the dinner party episode, because it's perfect television.
- They are still making Fast and the Furious movies!? How are there so little ideas to movies these days? Hire me and my cousin Brad, we'll whip you up a fun, cheaply made idea that'll make you you're money back and have you leaving the comfort of your living room (or a movie theater, what are those!?) with a smile on your face...or a frown. Either way hire us, are you listening other Jeff Kleeman!?
Although I am impressed that they tied Tokyo Drift to the 10th (or is it 9th!? 11th!?) Fast and the Furious movie, which, is quite impressive to the large collective of people who were thinking, "I wonder what the gang from the least successful Fast and the Furious movie is up to!?". Also, where is Bow Wow!?
- Superhero movies are getting old and repetitive!? I'm so tired of the amount of content they are putting out. Back in the day you would watch one of these, there may or may not be a few sequels, then it was done for a few years. Now we have 2-3 current Batmen, a billion Spider-Men...a lot of average to barely above average Marvel shows and a ton of movies that I have to force myself to watch because I don't want to be lost when Avengers 8 comes out.
Again, give me a low budget, get me my Cowriter, we'll write you another movie starring Eric Rasmussen, boom, money.
Also, related rant. Comics were lame when I was a kid, I loved them and now it's cool!? Not fair. Rant over.
- Staring at my phone with my wife at 9:30 PM on a Friday night is enjoyable simply because it's quiet!? It's so crazy. 10 years ago I was still going out, every so. Not really the bars anymore, house parties were nice or friend get togethers. Now it's kinda nice being home on a Friday or Saturday and just....CHILLING. I do miss the occasional party, I REALLY miss beer pong and I definitely would love a board game night...as long as all of my guests clean up after themselves, don't wake up my kids and leave at a reasonable hour, is that too much to ask!?
Lastly, my book was 100% done, then it was 90% done to fix some things....(thanks Brad!), now it's 100% done again. I might put the first page on his blog in a few weeks, but that's all leading up to say it's done and I just need to go on Amazon publishing and get things rolling. Here is the cover of the book, if you know me, it's an old friend!
Look for that book coming up soon. If you don't mind me, I'm going to stand up now and do some stretches. Thanks for reading!
Jeff
