I saw The Incredible Hulk last week. Since the internet was made so people could complain about stuff, here I go. This movie was no good. If the love story between Edward Norton and Liv Tyler doesn’t bore you to sleep, the predicable ending will. Spoiler alert! The movie ends with a battle royale and the good guy wins.

Any time I hate a movie, I just assume that I am not the demographic they were trying to capture. I consider myself part of the 30-year-old-male-that-hates-almost-every-movie group. We are a tough market to crack.

Sidebar: Every time the Hulk appeared, I kept thinking about how he looked like Dan from One Tree Hill. That really isn’t a complaint, just a distraction.

The Incredible Hulk receives a low score on a soon-to-be-developed Josh’s World scale of ratings.

I’m done. The organic scene is not for me. I’ve gone about 30 years eating non-organic foods and I haven’t had a single problem. Recently, I saw that organic lettuce was only 20 cents more than regular so I decided to be socialably responsible and purchase my lettuce from a lettuce farm that treats lettuce with dignity without those nasty pesticides. I’m such a great person. Well- that little guy above almost made it into my turkey wrap today.

I never realized how much I missed that yummy pesticide flavor.

Seriously, if I hear the word “green” in reference to the environment one more time, I am going to lose it! The term has reached fad status and it is driving me nuts. I consider myself a reasonably environmentally responsible person, but I am sick of being inundated with green advertising/propaganda/nonsense. Maybe it’s the rising gas prices or the recent Earth Day hoopla, but I am getting fed up. “If every person switched to fluorescent light bulbs, the world would bla bla bla…” Guess what, the “if everybody did this” scenarios are never realistic. And if we could get everybody in the world to do one thing, I can surely come up with some better ideas than changing a light bulb.

One more point while I am on my environment rant: Why are stoplights stupid? If “we’re” so worried about vehicle emissions and energy issues, why doesn’t this topic come up more? If I wasn’t stuck at a red light waiting for it to turn green when there are no other vehicles in sight, I would be using less fuel, emitting less evil C02, and keeping traffic running smoothly (along with all the other millions of drivers out there). It seems there is no problem investing in cameras to watch for folks that run the red lights, but can we not implement an intelligent system that analyzes traffic movement to keep things running practically? To me, that sounds like it would have a larger impact compared to changing a few light bulbs.

Ok, I’m done. Anybody else want to use my soapbox?

Wow, I had no idea how popular my website was getting. Did you know over the last 45 days, over 1500 comments were posted to this site? Can you believe that!? And did you know that 100% of those comments were spam? That’s ridiculous! It amazes me how far these idiots will go to get email into my inbox. I wonder if spammers get mad when they receive spam.

Something I want to get off my chest: There are two expressions that annoy me like nothing else; two expressions that you will never hear me say (unless I am making fun of somebody that uses them). These phrases are typically used when expressing an opinion about something. Don’t get me wrong, everybody is entitled to their opinion, but when people express themselves with the following phrases, I think it makes them look dumb. So without further ado, the expressions: The first expression is “genius.” For example, “He’s genius” or “That movie is genius.” That bothers me so much. If you disagree with a person that thinks something is genius, then you must not be on the same level as them, intellectually. It seems so condescending. It’s a way to build yourself up for complimenting something (as if you are the authority on what is genius). The fools on every VH1 show say this a lot. The other expression is on the opposite side of the spectrum (sort of). And that is when people say a person, a group of people, or a skill is “talentless.” Again, the user of this expression elevates him/herself to the level or talent extraordinaire. Now I know what you are thinking, “Josh, aren’t you being judgemental and just as ingorant as the users of expressions like ‘genius’ and ‘talentless’?” And the short answer to that is, yes. But here’s the bottom line: express yourself freely and choose your words carefully or I will make fun of you later.

What happens in Vegas… hopefully won’t be reported to my insurance company. My bachelor party was last weekend. I was looking forward to renting some sports cars with my brother and my cousin. Jeph got a Viper SRT10, JR got a Lotus Elise, and I had a Porsche 911 Carrera. It was a lot of fun until I brought the car back to the rental place and they started writing up a damage report. Apparently, the valet at the Mirage let Rookie McGee drive the Porsche. It had been backed into another vehicle. Good times.

Sorry no update for November, I guess I just needed a month to celebrate George Bush’s re-election. That W sticker on the back of my car really paid off. Anyway- this isn’t a political forum so I will change the topic. I am thinking about changing the name of this blog to something else. I should have done this a long time ago when VH1 started advertising “check out our blog bla bla bla.” If you are new to Josh’s World, I loathe VH1. The time I spend watching TV is always decreasing, but when I do happen to turn it on and I scroll down the menu of channels, I alway dry heave when I see the name of the show that is on. [sarcasm] Oooh, they said something is “Awesomely” something, that is so funny, that’s not even a real word. [/sarcasm] I need to free myself from this hatred!

For the most part, I like to keep things pretty upbeat and positive here in Josh’s World. But ya know, as I look at my last few entries, I might come off a little cynical. The truth is, I am content 90% of the time. Sometimes things just get to me. Take VH1 for example. I’m watching a show called “50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs Ever” and everything about the show gets on my nerves. Here’s the run down if you haven’t seen it, basically a bunch of small-time comedians and writers rag on videos for whatever reason VH1 considers bad. Many of the songs are great, it just might happen to be a one hit wonder or something. I’m pro-one-hit-wonder. It’s a very efficent way to enjoy more artists. Seriously VH1, how many unfunny one hit wonder jokes can you come up with. “Right Said Fred wasn’t sexy enough for another hit…” or “Gerardo wasn’t suave for another hit…” or “Billy Ray Cyrus won’t have another achy breaky hit.” Half of the shows on VH1 are like this. Anyway- this post has gone on for too long. The point is, VH1 has joined the ranks of it’s asinine brother MTV.

Worst Super Bowl ever ( Simpson’s comic book shop guy voice). Anybody that knows me understands that I couldn’t care less about football, or any sport for that matter. Being an American though, it’s my duty to tune in… at least to enjoy the commercials. Well my friends, even the commercials were dumb- nothing creative or innovative. The only ad I liked was the anti-smoking commercial about the shards of glass ice pops. I got a kick out that… but all those other “truth” commercials are dumb. And don’t get me started on the half-time show. I don’t know about you guys, buy I can’t wait to get a copy of Rhythm Nation 1814. And I can tell this P Diddy guy is going to be big some day. Tonights Super Bowl half time show was brought to you by AOL and 1993.

I watched “Rich Girls” on MTV tonight. Horrible, horrible, horrible. I hope the rest of the world is vomiting with me. After looking around on Google to see if anybody else shares my disgust, it turns out I am not alone. In fact, many of the show haters seem to use the term “barf” a lot. I don’t want to dwell on this.
