Don't even act like it's not. I hated this episode as a kid.

Cool Site to Check Out
http://www.gazelle.com/
Basically, they will pay you for your old electronics. A good option for those of you strapped for cash. Even if you don't go through with it, it's at least nice to know what things are worth so you can make sure other offers you get are fair. It looks like really high selling items don't earn that much. I was pretty disappointed with the pricing they gave me for my PSP, GBA SP, GameCube, and 2nd Gen iPod shuffle. Not that I expected it to be a fortune. I was pretty pleased with what it offered me for my Camcorder that is at least two years old as well as my Samsung Glyde phone. It's worth a look, they give you prices instantly without having to register or anything.

Top 3 Comedies Still in Production
I high-high-high-high-highly suggest you check these out if you haven't already. In no particular order, here we go:
3. The Big Bang Theory
The most traditional of these three shows. Take two nerds living together, their two nerd friends, and the hot girl next door to add some spice into their nerd lives and there you go. The humor is really on point though. They reference technology and other nerd things in their jokes that I'm sure only other nerds understand. They still manage to keep some jokes mainstream enough to attract a wider audience. Sheldon steals the show though. He is the absolute king of all nerds. He fails to grasp normal social etiquette which results in a lot of the shows humor. Leonard, Sheldon's roommate is the level headed one who finally manages to get his dream girl across the hall, Penny. Throw in an Indian scientist and a horny Jew and you've got some very witty dialogue. Catch this on CBS Mondays at 9:30 I think.
2. It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia
Three guys and a girl own a bar in south Philly. This show reminds me a lot of Seinfeld due to the character's questionable morals. They are all pretty selfish. They will do just about anything to make money or get laid and the great thing about it is it seems like they are hardly friends. They are constantly competing with one another and stabbing each other in the back. Throw in Danny Devito as the world's worst father and it makes for some funny situations. Nothing is off limits with this show. This show is on FX and while it's currently in between seasons, I believe it's usual time slot was Thursday nights at 10.
1. The Office
How can you not love The Office? The humor is as witty as you can get. I could quote this show for days. It just has so many great characters. The dimwitted boss, the "fascist nerd" salesman, the cute receptionist (or the new cute receptionist). I could go on, but why bother. Just check it out. Reruns are on TBS everyday and new episodes are on NBC Thursdays at 9 I think. Oh and FYI, I've already committed to being Dwight Scrute next Halloween. I'm sure my mustard colored shirt will be well liked.

Greg thinks patience is dead
Just sitting here listening to music and thinking about the world. One thing that has been on my mind lately is patience, a dying virtue for sure. I can't help but look at the differences between generations before us and the children of this generation and notice the crazy difference. It makes me wonder at what point will it be too much?
Think about it. I just saw on Digg that Disney is testing out a new way to have people wait to go on rides. Instead of waiting in line, they go inside these air conditioned tents to play games and whatnot until their turn comes around. Sounds fun, but what are we losing? I know I'm sounding like a ranting old man here, but I remember going to theme parks and waiting in line. I remember the build up of excitement and nervousness as we got closer to the front. Especially for the more hyped scary rides, it seemed like you started outside and then went inside where it got darker and darker. Music would play. You were entering the world of the ride and immersed in it because, well, you had no where else to go. After spending a long time in this atmosphere, it was like the ride was the grand climax of the whole story.
And what about car trips? DVD players to keep kids occupied in the back seat. Why? I remember driving with my family to Ocean City, MD as a kid. It was about 6 hours I think. Boy it was grueling. Our entertainment consisted of sleeping, answering questions off some trivia cards my mom loved, or playing Gameboy. This was the original Gameboy and all we had was Centipede and Bugs Bunnies Crazy Castle. Hardly the hand held entertainment of today. At one point I did have a cassette player, but unless I had a friend to make me a mixtape, any given tape only had about 3-4 songs I liked. Now it's like the children are immersed in a world of endless entertainment to the point where when you finally arrive at the beach, once again, it loses it's appeal.
And what about music? I remember desperately listening to the radio hoping my favorite song would come on. Now, there isn't a time where I don't have immediate access to my favorite song as well as thousands of others. With this constant stream of entertainment assaulting our minds (especially young kids) no wonder everybody seems to be diagnosed with ADD or ADHD. I think it's time we really take a hard look at ourselves and realize it's time to unplug.
