Been a while since I’ve done one of these posts but I went down a YouTube spiral this morning and ran across this video once again. In it, Jimmy Fallon and The Roots join the cast of Star Wars The Force Awakens for an a cappella tribute to Star Wars. It’s glorious.
This post started out as a Current Favs On YouTube post but I quickly realized that there was a common bond between all 3 of these videos: Jimmy Fallon. In case you’ve been living under a rock and don’t know who Jimmy Fallon is he’s the 39 year old genius that recently took over hosting the Tonight Show. Before taking the reigns from Jay Leno, Fallon was on Saturday Night Live and hosted his own … Continue reading
I first learned of Sarah Churman when I watched a YouTube video of her hearing for the first time. Sarah was born with a condition where the hair in her inner ear doesn’t form. This hair (I’ve come to find out) is what transmits the sound which allows us to hear. Without it, Sarah was essentially deaf.

If you’re like me you heard this song WAY too often over the 4th of July weekend this past year. For me it started off as a catchy tune that I got sick of. I had on the iPod shuffle this morning and it came on.

I know I’m late to the Charlie Sheen game but this is nothing short of EPIC WINNING. In all honesty, the guys that put this together are SUPER talented. One of the most inspirational speeches ever … Continue reading
I’ve said it on numerous occasions, but it’s not often that the wife and I find a movie that we’re both interested in seeing. The last one that we agreed looked good was The Break-Up which didn’t turn out too great. But I digress. We were interested in Date Night cause we like both of the movie’s stars (Steve Carell of The Office fame and Tina Fey from Saturday Night Live). Also, the first trailer … Continue reading
If you haven’t yet, take the time to watch something called The Last Lecture.

Randy had pancreatic cancer and had only months to live. Carnegie Melon has a longstanding tradition of allowing its professors to give a “last lecture”. It’s … Continue reading
