Best SpongeBob Episode

 

    Like I have said, SpongeBob has overstayed his welcome. However, before Stephen left SpongeBob to the hands of Nickelodeon, there was some hilarious episodes that I remember. But there is one episode that is by far the funniest episode I have ever seen. It is the highest rated episode according to IMDB. 

    The episode is called "Band Geeks"

   This episode came out a week before 9/11 happened. That's how old this episode is. Already 25 years old, and it's still the best episode I have seen. It starts out with Squidward playing his clarinet when he hears the phone ringing.

   It's his rival, Squillim. Squidward pretends to have a band since Squillim can't perform a t the prestigious bubble bowl. Like the Super Bowl in SpongeBob's world.

 

   He puts up signs as he tries to get people to join him. Many do as Squidward shows up late to his own meeting. Almost everyone in Bikini Bottom is there from SpongeBob to Patrick to even Plankton. There are funny quotes like Patrick asking if "Mayonnaise is an instrument."

   He soon gets in a fight with Sandy as SpongeBob confuses something for a chorus line. He gets his trumpet shoved down his neck and makes a strange noise saying, "whoever is the owner of the white Sudan, you left your lights on." I miss funny writing like that.

   They practice outside by playing their instruments. Squidward is the conductor as he tells the two flag twirlers to keep spinning. They spin so fast they become wings of a plane and start to fly into the sky. Hitting a blimp and dying on impact. Squidward is shocked that he decides to cuddle in a fetal position as one of the trumpets players plays "taps"

     Squidward wants to know how Plankton is doing on a harmonica. With him being the smallest character, he goes to each hole and blow on it. Causing him to pass out.

   After the band fails to impress Squidward, he gives up. SpongeBob decides to get people to help Squidward after they have a fight. He tells everyone that Squidward is like a firefighter or some guy in an ambulance and decide to stay overnight to help Squidward.

   Squidward meets Squillim as he has to explain where his band was. He finds out SpongeBob as well as the others eager to perform

  They are at the Bubble Bowl (or the Liberty Stadium in Memphis) where they see humans eager to watch them perform.

 Squidward worries on what's going to happen. The music plays and Squidward is shocked to find out...they are playing great. Patrick is on the drums, Sandy on the guitar and SpongeBob starts to sing. The song is called "Sweet Victory" and I have the song on my phone. 

  They perform, Squillim is shocked that he ends up having a heart attack and is carried away. Squidward, still in shock to see this, decides to join in. He is seen happy at the end which is a rarity in SpongeBob episodes.

   I still will watch it if it's on. It is that funny and enjoyable. They were going to perform for the Super Bowl in honor of Stephen Hillenburg's memory after his death. That didn't happen.

  

   They have recently updated the episode to apologize to the viewers during that Super Bowl incident by showing the Band Geeks episode on YouTube in 3D. It did help as it came out during one of the Super Bowls, just didn't play at half time.

  So....hit and miss in my opinion. Still worth a watch.

  25 years later and it's still worth the watch. Now SpongeBob episodes are just....egh. Some episodes are ok but none of them will compare to 'Band Geeks'. Another great SpongeBob episode is called "Chocolate with Nuts" where SpongeBob and Patrick sell chocolate bars to feel fancy. Won't beat this episode. If you ever catch it...watch it, you won't be disappointed.

They are nothing like their characters

   

   I watch some tv, not a lot, but there are some shows that I've seen that I can tell the actor portraying their character is the polar opposite of them. Although a few actors are similar to their character like in the show Glee, actress Lea Michelle is so much like Rachel. Self-absorbed brat that puts everyone down. Here some actors that are nothing like their characters.

  Jim Parsons has portrayed Sheldon Cooper for twelve years. Sheldon is nothing but egotistical, sometimes self-absorbed, sometimes needing to get his own way...only to learn his selfish ways in the fianle.

   Jim Parsons is nothing like that. He is kind, sweet and considered hilarious. His acting is so good, some people believe he is like Sheldon. But I know he's not. He's now acting in broadway.

   Jason Alexander has been in many movies and tv shows, but I'll always know him as George Costanza. Costanza is similar to Larry David, the creator of Seinfeld. Rude, cheap, egotistical and doesn't care if even his fiancé dies.

   Jason Alexander is the polar opposite. He is a nice person who has a wife and two sons (all grown up) and doesn't like to think about past characters. Especially Costanza.

   Hugh Laurie is a British actor and comedian. In the drama House, he portrays a doctor who is rude and mean to not only the workers, but the patients belittling them as well as making them feel they aren't important.

   Hugh Laurie is hilarious. He has a thick British accent that he tries to hide by doing a fake American one. But he is nothing like House.

 Stephanie Bearetz plays a hard ass character in Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Never saw one episode because I couldn't get into it. 

    Her character Rosa is a hard ass and tough to be friends with. Even Andy Sandberg's character can't make her happy.

    Stephanie is different. She's funny, perky and even at times heartfelt.

   In the show the Office, Angela Kinsley plays Angela. The Angela in the Office is somewhat shy, mean and isn't that friendly with the other people she works with. She gets pissed when someone kills her cat and is only friendly once in a while.

   Angela Kinsley is nice is real life. She loves to laugh and believes portraying a character who is stone face quiet is nothing like her.

   Sometimes actors from TV or Movie are nothing like their characters. I just focused on the TV characters. In movie, it's similar. Tom Felton and Hiddleston are nothing like their villainous characters. Other actors can be similar to their characters....but these people are not.

Summer Ends- POEM

 

And this is it

the last week of Summer

it came

and it went

just like every summer does

We had rainy days

hot as hell days

and days that made summer

worth staying

forever

It'll start to get colder,

baseball,

will be over,

football,

has begun,

leaves,

will start to fall

The long days will get shorter

as it stars

to get colder

air conditioners 

replaced

with heaters

Halloween decorations

are out

Christmas

as well

and it seems

summer is gone

in many people's eyes

And so

another season

has come and gone

and autumn has arrived

and we won't see it again

until next year

goodbye summer

we will miss the warmth

9/11 Survivors

 

 25 years and it still hurts. I wasn't the only one that lost someone on 9/11. But I want to look on the people that had close class and survived the tragedy that we still remember today.

    I lost someone I never knew, and his name is on the memorial plaque at ground zero. Here are the celebrities that had close calls with almost perishing on 9/11

   Rob Lowe- He was on Flight 11 days before 9/11. He realized the hijackers were on his flight and were doing a dry run on it. He had no idea how lucky he was that he didn't end up as one of the victims; but he had felt guilty that he didn't stop it not knowing what would have happened.

   He still thinks about it and tries not to think that he was close to death.

   Seth MacFarlane- He was supposed on one of the planes that hit the tower, but he was hungover at the time partying in Boston the night before.

   When he woke up, he realized he was late for his flight. Plus, the time was wrong as well on his ticket. He realized his life was saved by alcohol. He doesn't think about it much as he had been interviewed as he tries to think alcohol saved his life.

    Mark Wahlberg- He too was set to board flight 11, but he decided to take another flight instead. He decided to stay at the Toronto Film Festival and took a private jet. He even admitted who would have taken on those terrorists and save everyone.

      He eventually apologized to the families who lost people on 9/11, especially on that flight.

   Michael Jackson- He was supposed to be on top of the World Trade Center, however, a call with his mother avoided his death. It's true, he was on the phone with his mother while he was supposed to be at the World Trade Center.

    The long phone call caused him to miss tragedy. His brother Jermaine wrote a book about his late brother's life. It's mentioned in there. 

  Sarah Ferguson- She was scheduled to have a meeting at the twin towers. She was running late since she was at an interview. Fortunately, she missed getting killed. She realized that 700 of her employes that were there perished from the tragedy.

   She was grateful yet sadden that not everyone she worked with survived like she did.

 Gweneth Paltrow- She had no idea that she had saved somebody's life. She didn't know till ten years later. A young woman was roller blading and almost was hit by Gweneth's Car. The encounter caused her to miss her train.

    She eventually realized that the young woman was headed to the World Trade Center. Gweneth saved her life.

  

    Steve Buscemi= Even though he didn't have to go to the World Trade Center, he decided to help out. He used to be a junior fire fighter and helped other firefighters trying to find survivors in the wreckage. 

    He stayed for almost a whole day finding bodies and it still haunted him as well as exhausted him. To this day he still remembers what he had went through by helping other firefighters throughout the whole ordeal.

  Pete Davidson- This is more tragic. Like me, Pete Davidson lost someone close to him when he was only seven years old.

  Pete Davidson is an SNL alumnus and the only memory he has of his father is losing him on 9/11. His father, Scott, was helping other firefighters save people from the twin towers that were destroyed 25 years ago.

   He has a tattoo of his father's fire station number on his arm, and he named his daughter after his late father.

 How has it already been 25 years? How does time fly so by and so fast? Well....25 years later, it still hurts.

  It hurts for everyone who either lost someone they loved or knew someone who lost someone. These people survived tragedy through ironic circumstances. Never Forget 9/11

Labor Day ends summer

           It is Labor Day weekend and summer....is almost gone. Why does summer always slip through our fingers? Why does this happen every summer? It's Labor Day when we honor people who labor as well as barbecue and throw parties that symbolizes the end of summer.

   Kids and teachers hate this time of year since it symbolizes the start of a new school year. Kids dread it.... teachers hate it. But it seems that's how every Labor Day ends.

    The ending of summer and the beginning of a new school year. Some kids have started already while some start after Labor Day

   On the plus side.... there are cookouts and barbecues and togetherness with families while they still have the time.

    Summer Vacation might be over, but summer isn't over yet. We have almost two weeks left until.... football, sweater weather, cooler temperatures, leaves crunching between your feet and hot days vanishing.

   The beginning of Autumn starts at the end of September. The 23rd this year as we still have a couple weeks of summer left. 

    It feels as if Summer has already left when September arrives, same with December when winter arrives. 

    Certain people believe that if you are born on a month that falls on a new season change, they are officially an autumn or winter person.

  Beaches becomes empty, certain places close like amusement parks, pools and stuff on the boardwalk at certain beaches.

    Labor Day ends summer fun as the cool weather starts. Some people like me, love autumn. Especially early autumn, when it's not too hot and it's not too cold.

  It feels as if summer was just here and now....it is gone. Why does winter always stay longer than summer? 

  It feels like colder weather stays longer and warmer weather decides to flash by. It happens every year. Same with when after the Fourth of July ending.... Halloween stuff appears.

         Remember what today is really about. A day where people that work are celebrated for their jobs. Even if it's the official mark to the end of summer, we must remember that people who work must be appreciated.

    Today is their day. Today, I am off...celebrating Labor Day. Goodbye Summer, we will see you next year.

Goodbye, Dolly

 

It's like a bad dream

and I want to wake up,

But it's true,

she is gone,

Dolly Parton,

has died

We didn't want to believe it,

we didn't want it to happen,

not to her,

80,

is still young,

to us

The fans,

are devastated

mourning

crying

wishing it weren't true

when it sadly is

We still love her

even in death

from Jolene

to 9 to 5

She made us happy

Butterflies

surround her memorial

Flowers 

placed

all pink

for Dolly

We can't believe,

she is gone

and she isn't the only one

Tim Curry

and the voice of Optimus Prime

has joined her in heaven

She has been in movies

like Steel Magnolias

to 9 to 5

singing the song

for that movie

 Flowers,

Memorals,

even an airport in Nashville

named after her

We will miss her

we will always remember 

the good things 

she has done for us

We will always love you

like you did with us

giving us

a ray of sunshine

everyday

that ray

has dimmed 

when you left us

but you will brighten the heavens

and we will always

always

love you

Twin Sitters-Underrated Movie

 

      Around the 90's there was this movie starring two body building twin actors named David and Peter Paul. 

    They starred in movies back in the 90's one of them I remember more called "Twin Sitters." David and Peter were twins, and they were taking care of Twin boys from their rich uncle who wanted their help. 

   First, I want to talk about the brothers. David and Peter Paul were known as body builders as well as actors. They starred in movies like "Double Trouble", "The Barbarians" and "Think Big" I remember Double Trouble, but that might be it. 

   Sadly, David Paul passed away in 2020. Peter Paul is still alive but rarely seen. He is still alive, just not acting anymore.

   In the movie, David and Peter are body builders who become bodyguards to help a man protect his twin nephews who just lost their mom.

      Their names are Brian and Stanley. They are troublesome and with them being rich, they are homeschooled.

   The actors that portray the twin boys are the same actor that played Christian in "Kindergarten Cop" Both boys are no longer acting. 

   They left to peruse an education and get careers. They both did pretty well in both movies. Playing annoying boys who do tricks as one of them wants to run away and the other doesn't want to disappoint their uncle.

   The only way to get the boys to listen to them, both David and Peter try for the young boys to eat the food they made since they own an Italian Bistro. 

   All they want are PB and J's. They torture them, force them to change their clothes so they can be individuals...eventually getting through to them. They even fall in love with their homeschool teacher.

  The twin boy's uncle has been getting death threats and asks the Barbarian Twins to watch over while he's on a business trip. 

   Near the end, the uncle's business partner ends up kidnapping the boys as well as the teacher. The uncle returns as well as David and Paul with help from their friends, who are also twins. The climax happens on a boat, and the uncle joins in to help save everyone.

   That movie came out in 1995. Almost 31 years now. The boys are all grown up; David sadly is gone, and Peter.....

    He has posted videos on Instagram telling his viewers that he's ok. Even though he misses his brother, he's still active and trying to get back into movies. He starred in a few in the 2010's but the movies weren't memorable enough to remember.

      So, why do I feel this movie is underrated? Well, it's not that memorable and it was the last film both Barbarian brothers made before leaving acting.

    I still remember it, and it's an ok movie. I liked it. The story was good, the acting was memorable, and even now... 31 years later, this movie might not have many fans, but it's still a movie I feel should be seen, along with other Barbarian brother movies.
