Kurt’s Blog: The VMAs & Ease Off on Ben Affleck

 Happy Early Anniversary To My Wife

6 years on Sunday! Woot woot! I love you very much sweetheart…thank you for being an incredible wife and an AWESOME mom. Thank you for two amazing kids.

Oh, and thank you for still putting up with me 🙂

Ben Affleck is the New Batman

I’m for it. I like Ben Affleck. Yes, he’s made a slew of terrible movies, but that was between 2002-2007…since then, he’s been picking only good movies & roles. I think this will be good for the next Man of Steel venture. I think people still just relate Ben Affleck with “Gigli”, and they (correctly) cringe.

Last two movies? The Town….and Argo. Both AWESOME!

The MTV VMAs

I saw a list that ranked the “Top 20 Crazy Moments” at the MTV VMAs (which is Sunday night…in what will be a crazy night of TV…those, Dexter, Breaking Bad).

This was their final Top 5

1. Kanye West interrupts Taylor Swift

2. Madonna & Britney kiss

3. Lady Gaga wearing a raw meat dress

4. Michael Jackson kissing Lisa Marie

5. Fiona Apple’s “life is bull(crap)” speech.

Not even close for me…here’s my Top 5.

5. Courtney Love v. Madonna

4. Madonna kissing Britney Spears

3. Michael Jackson accepting what he thinks is the “Artist of the Millenium Award”…when in fact, it’s just a birthday cake.

2. Guns N’ Roses reunite…well, it’s Axl Rose…with terrible botox and hair extensions, Buckethead, and a Marilyn Manson knock-off back-up band. I was devastated.

1. Britney Spears doing this…

I thought it was AWESOME…and people always talk about how she “revealed” way too much….but she didn’t…that’s a flesh-colored pants suit…she’s wearing pants people! No one ever seems to understand that…it’s not even see-through…it’s flesh-colored.

Playstation 4

November 15th….that’s when heaven arrives.

Double Stuft Oreo Scandal

Is it a massive bummer that Double Stuft Oreos are .14 short in actually being “double stuffed”? Absolutely…but are they still 1.86 times better than regular Oreos? Yes. People are calling for a boycott of Oreos until they fix this “problem” need to get a grip…you’re only hurting yourself…you should never deprive yourself of Oreos.

Note: Oreos do NOT sponsor the Blog, but I would love it if they did!

 

Avril Lavigne’s “Rock-n-Roll” Video

You know I love the Avril Lavigne…I make no bones about it, so I, of course, was interested when she released a video for her new song “Rock-n-Roll’.

I’m watching the video…thinking it’s fun & silly…I like it…then Winnie Cooper from The Wonder Years shows up…video gets better…

Then at 2:45 in this video:

The music stops, and there’s a skit…with a Wonder Years-style voiceover….

…and Avril Lavigne & Winnie Cooper start making out.

Well, alright. How do I vote for this to be Video of the Year?

The Warrior Dash

It’s tomorrow…and I haven’t run at all…I’m more in shape for the fantasy draft that’s later in the day tomorrow. It’ll be a fantastic time…it’s easily my favorite run…but I know pain will come on Sunday.

The *Nsync Reunion

It might happen on Sunday night…but who knows, right? While we wait, enjoy these fantastic photos of *Nsync being…*Nsync.
