amateurs step right up
Ahhhh, new years eve. the one night of the year in which you stay up past midnight. Oh wait, ive been up past midnight for the last week maybe 2. but another thing about new years, the easiest time to tell a joke. Who here hasnt used the "see you next year" or "I havnt seen you since last year" jokes. usually people say them in a stupid voice then laugh at the stupidity. but this "joke" is really getting old. sure its funny when your young but it is just so easy to use and requires no comedic ability and really isnt very funny. So im gonna boycott the joke. Im not going to use it and try not to laugh at it (cuz that is gonna be really hard). I seem to really like boycotting things. like i sort of unoffically boycotted Sky Captain, but i now have someone that sorta changed my mind cuz im gonna watch it now. Also im sorta boycotting Alexander. Also i think im gonna boycott messanger 7.0. I have my reasons, ill cave at some point but ill let the hype dye down. I really like boycotting stuff (sort of).
Challenge this is challenge to anyone (preferrably someone i know, or else its kinda weird) out there. The challenge. syrup chugging. thats right, like in Super Troopers. Im not doing this because i am the syrup champ or anything, i just want to do it and say that i did it, and hopefully that i won at it. I did "shoot" a small glass (bigger than a shot glass) of syrup once and that was kinda interesting. but a bottle would be cool. So anyone out there, JUST BRING IT.
New Years Resolutions. no dont worry, im not making any. accually right now life is pretty good, there arnt many things i want to change. and also i usually dont make them anyway. what is so special about new years? does it have a magically power that makes it easier to do stuff? the only thing special thing is that it is the location at with the "man made" calender system changes numbers. if i sound angry or anything, im really not. im just in a weird mood i guess. im not trying to sound all negative and hating and whatever.
Cool list rather than a list of NYR, i thought i would give you a list that is kinda like a dream list. its not really a 'things to do before i die' list, its just kinda a list of things that would be awesom if i did or happened to me or whatever the proper english way of saying that is.
1) Appear on Jeopardy, like as a contestant
2) Go into space
3) Ride the Vomit Comet (aiming a little lower)
4) Skydive
5) breaking the sound barrier would be cool
6) be 'spoofed' or mocked on almost any tv show or movie but pref Simpsons or SNL
7) make a camio in a movie. pref a jedi in star wars or a superhero in mystery men 2 (if they decide to make it)
8) Be knighted. "hello I am Sir Ian ..."
9) Phd would also be cool "hello im Sir Dr. Ian..." (or is it Dr. Sir?)
10) driving a fast car fast.
11) become multilingual (elvish or klingon would be cool and nerdy)
think thats about it. I dont think i missed any big ones. apperaing on price is right would be nice too.
Unanswered questions here are some of the questions that have been bugging you all for the year and will continue to bug you cuz i dont know the answers.
1) How far will reality tv go?
2) How can Doug creat a great post out of nothing but fan mail questions he wrote to himself and his answers to them?
3) What does the song "somebody told me" by the killers mean?
4) Why are candy bars now fruit flavoured?
5) Will the current SNL cast be as big as Ferrel, Myers, Sandler, Murphy, Spade and the otheres?
6) war in Iraq, good or bad?
7) why are Calculus, geology, autoCAD/drafting, material engineering, beam deflection classes all tied together?
8) Why cant movie posters have the name of the actor above the picture of the actor, rather than swited all around?
Thats about all i have for now, check in ne... oops, caught myself. check back soon.

Dear Sir Dr Ian Wilson:
-Boycott is a funny word. The words don't have anything to do with the meaning.... how did such a word make it into the English dictionary?
-You've temporarily boycotted many new blockbuster movies for as long as I've known you (which will be exactly 1 year in 12 hours). Still have no clue why you do that. Some kind of painful psychological reason?
-I'm boycotting msn 7.0 too. I boycott most updates for a good 6-8 months most of the time anyways, I dunno why, I think because I'm hoping they have any glitches worked out by then.
-The thought of anyone actually chugging syrup like that makes me want to ride the... you know. But I'll put the word on the street for you as long as you promise I can watch. I'll think of it as good pain.
-Liked the thing about the actor's names and pictures on the movies. Very random but oddly appropriate.
See you next year!! (Ugh, I can't believe I just wrote that. I sicken myself.)
Wilson,
Now I have read your post and am quite impressed with your boycotting abilities. However, would you ever consider boycotting say watching the World Jr. Hockey Championship because everybody is watching it too? Perhaps its a personal thing and I respect that, but some things just can't be boycotted. That being said, the whole "See you next year joke" really doesnt do anything for me. Funny? Not entirely. Reason for the joke? You outlined it in your blog. But do you notice that is those people who are struggling to find something to say around this time that use it? Maybe its just me, but its kinda one of those jokes to fill in the awkward silence. Ian your "Cool List" is excellent, and I sure hope you get your PhD, I already have mine. The question about Doug's posting abilities will never be answered. Why you ask? Because Doug has a knack for taking the unexpected and making them expected, taking the unknowns and making them known, taking the ordinary and making them extraordinary. Doug's posting abilities amazes us all and I'm sure it amazes himself sometimes. Well Ian good luck your boycotting and I sure hope some of the things on your "Cool List" come true. I'll be there for the knighting and your appearance on Jeopardy.
Justin
