Wheaze on this grindage, man.

"Encino Man": A Review
blogspot.com

“Encino Man” is a 1992 comedy directed by Les Mayfield (the same director of “Flubber” and “Miracle on 34th Street”). The movie stars Sean Astin (from "Lord of the Rings”), Brendan Fraser (from “The Mummy”), Robin Tunney (from “The Mentalist” television show) and most importantly Pauly Shore.

 

The premise of the film is two high school losers, who get edged ‘cause a frozen caveman starts wheazin' all their grindage. If they had the whole brady bunch thing happenin’ at their pad, they’d just go grind over there, but this missing link taxes their gig so hard-core cruster. Dave (Sean Astin) is interested in this major babe named Robyn Sweeney (Megan Ward), but she thinks Dave is crusty and that life is all about greasing the ‘do back and wheezin’ on the buff-fest; Robyn is also already dating the school jock/bully who’s got the buff spikes chillin’ on top of his melon, checks her cheeks, has a serious beak, his own personal holding company full of fundage and weazes off major 18-inch bi’s (biceps).

 

Sorry about that last paragraph, I let Stoney (Pauly Shore) write it. So the movie is about these high school kids who find a frozen caveman, later named Link (Brendan Fraser), buried in their backyard. When he melts and is released on the world, he is forced to adapt to survive and ends up really liking the modern world. The boys teach him all their pubescent brains know and pass him off at school as a foreign exchange student. The rest of the story is a comedic slew of grade school drama, prehistoric love and the struggle to go after what you really want.

 

This movie is not unheard of, but, much like the cavemen, is largely forgotten about. I recommend and plead with you to watch this movie in an attempt to revive it and then keep it alive. I know you will enjoy it, and everyone will enjoy different things about it.

 

In the beautiful words of Stoney, “I’ll be ba-Ak.”

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
