Throwback Friday
I decided to start a little something called Throwback Friday’s. I apologize for the lack of alliteration, but Funky Fresh Fridays and Full of Fun Fridays just didn’t fit the vibe I was going for. This is going to be the weekly post (yeah right like I’m going to be able to keep a schedule like that) where I just talk about all the cool stuff that happened during the week. Whether it be stuff I read from other blogs, or something cool that happened in my personal life, or just a funny YouTube video that I’m sure none of you would be able to live without, Throwback Friday’s are going to be the place where it all goes down in a ball of flames.
Warning: Throwback Friday’s have the potential of being a garbled mess of thoughts with absolutely no direction or rhyme or reason.
This morning MizFitOnline took me back to a place I hadn’t been for a while. A world filled with corn rows, baggy pants, terrible movies, and even worse reality TV shows. She took me to the land of Coolio. This is somewhere I haven’t ventured since it was cool to wear Looney Tunes screen print T’s with Girbaud jeans, and I had forgotten how much I missed it. As soon as she exclaimed how she “missed me some old school Coolio,” I fired up Pandora and took myself back. Man his music is great; as much today as it has ever been. Ok Ok, I’ll stop trying to convince you. I’ll let Coolio do the talking now. Just press play and sit back and relax.
My man Deron Williams FINALLY made the All-Star team! I was stoked for him. If he hadn’t been in the Western Conference for the last four years around names like Chris Paul, Steve Nash, Chauncy Billups, and Tony Parker, and playing in one of the smallest markets in the U.S., I’m convinced he would have been a four time All-Star. Congrats D. Will!
The iPad was released! Wow, what a failure this will be. I know, I know, never doubt the electronic fruit, but even the biggest of Apple Fanboys have to admit that this device did not even kind of live up to the hype.
I know the maxi pad jokes are all pretty played out by now, but seriously Apple, that’s the best name you could come up with? Early rumors were giving it names like the iSlate or the iTablet which definitely would have worked, but something went severely wrong in their marketing department. The best comment regarding the functionality of the device that I’ve read came from a friend from high school who posted the following as his Facebook status update:
I’m glad they introduced the i-Pad, because I was looking at my i-Phone the other day and thinking, ‘Man, I totally wish this couldn’t fit in my pocket.’
On Thursday I forgot where I parked in the school parking lot.
Gary Coleman got put in the slammer again. There’s no way I would mention this at all if Gary wasn’t basically my neighbor (lives maybe 10 minutes from me). He had some kind of domestic dispute and got locked up. I honestly feel kind of sorry for the guy. His health sucks and he just can’t seem to find peace in his life. That being said I have an amazing Gary Coleman sighting story that I think is definitely appropriate for Throwback Friday.
About a year and a half ago I went to Shopko (kind of like Wal-Mart if you’ve never heard of it) to buy shoes for my son. I was standing in line waiting to pay when Gary Coleman comes walking into the store. I didn’t really pay much attention because even celebrities former celebrities need to be left alone. Out of the corner of my eye I saw him walk up to the return counter with a plastic shopping bag. It was my turn in line so I paid for the shoes and as the transaction was processing and my stuff was getting bagged I heard Gary starting to raise his voice. I couldn’t help but glance over and notice that he was obviously pissed off. Just then, the lady across the counter from him said “I’m sorry sir; we can’t accept returns on bulk candy.” Dude was trying to return a half-eaten bag of Jelly Belly’s! It was all I could do to keep from laughing uncontrollably. I walked passed them as I left the store just to confirm that what I heard was true and sure enough it was. I saw a bag full of multicolored jelly beans and an upset Gary Coleman. It made my day. Scratch that, I think it made my whole year. Heck, I still love it, maybe it made my decade!
I think that about wraps up our Throwback Friday. I’m really going to try and make sure this one gets up every week so I can get some kind of continuity going on in this blog. I. WILL. TRY! Promise!

that pic of Gary Coleman scares me. lol From a total MAC geek who never got into the laptop craze- I can’t wait to use that! I’m excited to curl up on the couch and browse the internet on a larger screen than my iPhone. But I do agree- the name is a little generic. lol
Aaahhh!! Coolio!! I forgot about him. Thanks for the reminder–it definitely throws me back!
Are you the fan that bailed Gary out of jail?

And that Gary Coleman pic still reminds me of one of the dogs from Ghostbusters. Can’t help it.
She should have taken back on the jellybeans, could have sold on ebay for a few bucks.
