It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia: Perfectness


It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia a show that's brought me nothing but happiness since...I don't know sometime when I was in college.  But God this show is freaking amazing. 

So I'm sitting around here binge watching Sunny all night and this show is probably one of the most entertaining things in the history of history!  But you may be sitting there reading this in your comfortable seating arrangement thinking, "Hey Joey, why is this show so great, I've never seen it."  If you're you're one of those people, I have to ask you why in the bloody freaking universe have you not watched this television gem yet!?

(Exactly Dee, watch the show peeps)

The best thing about this show is that it truly shows how awful people make situations worse than they can actually be.  The five central characters are pretty much the worst people that ever existed and watching them function is better than eating while watching Food Network.

So ending this rant.  Watch this show: it's brilliant!  Join me later when you can sing along to this meme:

Sitting In My Jeep, Pondering Life And Junk

You know, I've never considered myself to be smart, attractive, or funny.  The terms average, awkward, and spontaneously creative are much more pleasing to my ears.

I am just here in my Jeep.  I'm an hour early for work, so I'm just chilling in the Downtown Disney parking deck, watching humanity attempt to function and it's that time I get to be alone with my thoughts that really gets me thinking about my future and where I currently am in life

Currently I'm 24, I've got maybe $100 to my name until I get paid Friday and I will most likely blow a large portion of that money on fast food and more fast food.  I just had lunch, which was a Lunchable I picked up from the dollar store. 
I spent my morning finishing up the first season of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and blogging about it.

The only real negative part of my day has been battling my autocorrect to type out this current blog on my phone.  So if that's the worst part of my day, why don't I feel like a million bucks.

A huge struggle that I've been witnessing with people in my current age bracket is that nobody really feels fulfilled with there life.  We want to be more, see more, do more and see that our lives are much more than average.  It seems like this day and age has truly killed the concept of stopping to smell the flowers.

I'm not writing this to say that having goals and striving to surpass them isn't great, but do we really want to miss all of the little things that make us happy?

Earlier I told you my entire morning, most people would call it lazy, in fact a messaged my bae saying so.  (Yes, I said bae, suck it.)

Why is taking time to relax something negative?  Why do I feel like I didn't do anything today?  Why do I feel like I let life slip away when in all actuality I needed to take a break today?  Who really knows?

Moral of my thoughts today is that you don't need to strive for the next and greatest achievement everyday, let yourself be lazy and soak in a little bit of the right now without thinking of the future. 

We don't have too long.  Stop and smell the roses and maybe just maybe, watch a little TV.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Is All That And A Bag Of Chips



Kimmy Schmidt and her three "sisters" step out into the sunlight and into the spotlight in yet another amazeballs showcase that Tina Fey has stamped her name on.  Scott Meslow of The Week, referred to this as, "the first great sitcom of the streaming era," and I honestly can't think of a better way to describe Netflix's latest original.  By the way, this show was sold to Netflix from NBC, for whatever reason and Netflix has to be like:


The show starts out with a great opening sequence of Kimmy (Ellie Kemper) and her sisters Cyndee, Gretchen and Donna Maria escaping a doomsday bunker designed by the insane Reverend Richard Wayne Gary Wayne.  This sets up the series' opening credits, which are nothing short of comic genius.  The main title comes complete with its own songified news interview.

After their escape and venture through what is the American mainstream media, Kimmy decides to separate from her sisters and remain in New York, creating a new life for herself.  This new life includes:

1. A NEW HOME.  Complete with Titus Andromedon, a struggling gay Broadway performer and the drug dealing landlady Lillian, who's just a little off her rocker.

(Titus, in all of his glory!)


The series also brings back one of my favorite actresses ever.  Not that she's went anywhere, but I've definitely been missing the bitch that only Jane Krakowski can play and I'm glad she's back with Tina Fey, her writing balances out it all.  Which leads me to:

2. A NEW JOB.  Kimmy becomes the new housemaid for Jacqueline Voorhees after she catches her son shoplifting twice and brings him home.  Jacqueline is....
...Jacqueline.  She's perfect.

I just realized I only had two points to make....moving on!

The first season shows Kimmy adjusting to life as best she can with only a 90s elementary education behind her.  The show thrives off Kimmy's unbreakable tenacity and thirst for life which is only rivaled by Parks and Recreation's Leslie Knope...you are missed.

The series is on par with its writing, every joke hits exactly where it needs to and each character is written and portrayed to a T.  I also enjoy that the show isn't afraid to push boundaries with its characters who all seek to make themselves better and find their place in this crazy world, no better place than New York City to do that right?!

I'm trying to keep this as short and sweet as I can, mostly to avoid posting spoilers, but if you're looking for a show that will instantly become your new obsession, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt does all that and a bag of chips!  So kick back and binge watch this show if you want, maybe with a big glass of...

How To Get Away With Murder Double Whammy! He Deserved To Die/He Has A Wife


So it's time to get the ball rolling again with this review of How To Get Away With Murder.  I had to play catch-up because life's been getting in the way of my television, which is just...unacceptable.  But boy did I pick the right two episodes to watch back to back, because these kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time!  I actually fell off twice...

Let's start this off with He Deserved To Die:

Or as I like to call it...We Want Pre-nup!

Michaela's face says it all here as she finds out that her fiance's parents want her to sign a pre-nup agreement before the wedding, but we'll get into more about that in the next episode.

Now we'll get on with everything, these two episodes brought us closer and closer to bringing the flashforward storyline and the present storyline together.  Everyone is getting ready for the bonfire...DUN DUN DUN!

The big shocker that comes at the end of He Deserved To Die is that it was discovered during a second autopsy that Lila was six weeks pregnant at the time of the murder.  That means that she had broken her virginity pact with Griffin and proving more and more that Sam is most likely the murderer.  

He Has A Wife offers something different than the previous episode.  It offers a secondary trial where a professional woman has apparently murdered her housekeeper under the influence of a sleeping medication.  Then it wound up being the husband who murdered the housekeeper and made the wife believe she did it...was crazy.

But we also get a more in depth look at what was going on with Lila before the murder.  


Near the end of the episode, we see Lila actually run up to Annalise's office and attempt to tell her about her affair with Sam and who is there to ruin it...Freakin Bonnie!  God I hate Bonnie.  But then she confesses everything to Annalise near the end of the show and then she fires her!  Boom!  Later Bonnie!

So breakdown after these two episodes:
Sam is looking guiltier and guiltier.  He's also gonna die soon.
Michaela is gonna have a battle with her future mother in law.
Rebecca is gonna try her best to get that DNA.

I can't wait to get to the next episode.  I think we're finally gonna get to see the murder!

What did you think of these two episodes?  Sound off in the comments.

Too Much Parks & Recreation

So my current obession is Parks & Recreation.  I've pretty much been watching it during every hour of my free time and it's been putting a real strain on my relationship with sleep.

I never really watched the show before I started trying to catch up on Netflix and I'm almost to the point of finishing season 4. Let me start by saying that, may the TV Gods strike me down, I like this show way more than The Office.  I know it's been compared to it, as the writing style is pretty much the same, but I am much more invested in this show than I ever was in The Office.

Every character in the show is spot on and the best part is that each of them bring the funny in their own way.  They even bring in new characters and lose old ones and never miss a beat.

My obsession continues to grow and I may officially be Mouse Rat's #1 fan!

Side note, everyone at work had been calling me Ben cause they say my hair looks like him.  I posted a pic, let me know what ya think!

Once Upon A Time Makes Frozen Fresh


Sup Once Upon A Time fans!  So I don't know what you thought when you first saw the scene above during last season's finale, but if it was anything like mine, you were about about as happy as a squirrel that's been hit by a lawnmower.  I'm probably biased because I work at Walt Disney World and they've thrown Frozen in my face so much that if you shook off my eyelids, you could build a snowman.

I was completely done with everything and anything Frozen.  But this season of Once Upon A Time has completely cured my frostbite!  (Except for the Wandering Oaken's scene.  I worked at Wandering Oaken's Trading Post all summer, so hearing him say, "Yoo-Hoo" was like getting an icicle to the temple.  Aside from that negative, I have nothing but positive things to say about this awesomely chilly season.


Allow me to start the praise off by saying that Anna and Elsa were extremely well cast!  Georgina Haig and Elizabeth Lail, who play Elsa and Anna respectively, are killing it this season.  Not only do they look like the characters, but they also look like sisters.  I'm not sure if they are both just great actresses or if have watched Frozen more times than any 6 year old American girl, but they are Anna and Elsa and I don't think that Idina Menzel and Kristen Bell themselves could do any better.  (I may catch some heat from that.  Oops)

Next up on the praise list:


ELIZABETH FREAKIN MITCHELL!

When she popped up at the end of the second episode, I yelled, "Juliet," and spilled my Mountain Dew.  (I'm a huge LOST fan!)

The storyline crossover between Hans Christian Andersen's original; The Snow Queen and Disney's Frozen is something that I never would have thought of.  I actually really wish that the rumored Frozen sequel would have followed this path.  It's a really awesome concept and I can't respect this season's writers enough.

Finally:


SVEN!

So what do you, the internet people think about this season so far?  What are your favorite/least favorite aspects of it?  Do you like or hate Frozen?  Are you reading all of these questions?  Sound off in the comments!
