Disney Channel original movies do not count, or else Horse Sense would be in the top 10. Cutting it down to 10 was extremely hard, so i just ranked them based on how excited i would be if they were on tv. That's why Home Alone 2 is not in the top ten, it's on ABC family all the time, so nothing special. Close calls were Jingle all the way, Camp Nowhere, 3 Ninjas, Angels in the Outfield, Little Big League, Rookie of the Year, Getting Even with Dad, Mrs. doubtfire, Lassie, First Kid, Space Jam, Leave it to Beaver, Surf Ninjas.
10. Jungle to Jungle- I'm a huge Tim Allen fan, so of course I loved this movie. “your female makes good food baboon”
9. Milk Money- I'm surprised that more people don't know about this movie. But it's basically about 3 young kids that save up money then go to the city to try and see a naked girl. lol it's on youtube, watch it!
“hey dad look, over there, it’s a girl, what do you say? -Thank you"
8. Little rascals- Too many good quotes in this movie. Watching this with JT was priceless!
"if you were my kids, I would punish you. If we were your kids, we would punish ourselves"
7. Little giants- One of the few movies we had on VHS, so it got lots of PT.
"hey hot hands, you’re the best player on our team"
6. Good burger- i remember wanting to learn the dance when they are in that psycho hospital.
"I don’t remember what my dad looks like either, but at least I get to see him everyday."
5. Heavyweights- I was a little "husky" growing up, so this movie is extra funny now.
"lunch has been cancelled today, due to lack of hustle"
4. Sandlot- Just an amazing movie.
"yeah, she even signed her name on it. Some lady named ruth, baby ruth"
3. Ninja turtles 2- I had this on VHS, and every time Scott came over, we would watch it, EVERYTIME. i'd set the line at 32.
"take the ugly one, no you take the ugly one, which one’s the ugly one?"
2. Blank check- making and spending a million dollars in a week is still a dream.
"juice? No thanks I’m not thirsty"
1. Big- Another VHS movie. I can't watch this movie and be unhappy. just amazing.
"did you pledge? Yes, every morning."
all blogged out, no more

dual laskos
You can’t do the same things and expect different results.
I think that^ is very important in many different scenarios, here are two.
I love Mark Cuban. He’s so passionate about winning. His goal is obviously not to just go deep in the playoffs, but to win a championship. He understands that if his team doesn’t win a championship, he needs to make changes in order to give his team a chance. Some of the moves help the team, and some don’t. But he’s not just going to sit back and hope for better results.
My house is pretty cold. I have one Lasko portable heater to help make it warmer, but it’s still cold. So I decided to buy another Lasko portable heater for more warmth. At the moment, I’m running a dual monitor set-up for poker. And I’m packing a dual heater set-up for the coldness. How sick would 3 heaters lined up in a row be?hmm it would be pumping straight HEAT.
____
My mom's side of the family meets for Christmas eve dinner every year. So i asked her where dinner was this year and she said "our house" and then semi-yelled "that's why i told you to clean your room, you weirdo!"
____
I'm ready for a new watch. i've bought 3 in the past 2 years. I haven't wore my movado watch since the summer. I'm officially over stainless steel watches, i just don't like them anymore. I want another all black watch, or a stainless steel face with a black leather/rubber band. Or I want a gold face with a brown or black band. If money wasn't a problem, i'd be looking at a Piaget or Raymond Weil. I think Raymond Weil Freelancer series is my favorite collection of watches i've seen in a while

he looks very flat-footed out there
"lol. two months? its not that hard is it?" -Greg
Well, I can say (with 100% certainty) that I've never ran a 7:30 mile. I've never even ran an 8 minute mile. I've never been super quick or fast, and I think my flat feet don't really help. Good shape? bad shape? I've been in tennis-shape my whole life (doubles tennis to be exact). So not that hard? It'll be hard for me, but everything is relative.
greg, you should go for the 7:30 mile too, yea?

beat that you little trout sniffer lol
Scott and I have a little exercise prop bet. In 2 months, we have to be able to run a mile in 7 minutes 30 seconds. If one of us completes it, and the other one can't, the loser buys dinner.
No matter the outcome, it will definitely get us in better shape. Therefore, no losers in this bet. I have yet to see what my mile time is, it's been raining every time I plan to go to the track.
8MPH = a 7:30 mile
I think it's highly unlikely that I am able to do it. But from what i've learned from reading Option Volatility & Pricing from Sheldon Natenberg, DO NOT CONFUSE HIGHLY UNLIKELY WITH IMPOSSIBLE.
and from what i've learned from Little Giants, even if we can't run a 7:30 mile 99 times out of 100, that still leaves one time...one time!

numbers don't lie
3.5 ft- length of Subway sandwiches I eat in an average week. Italian BMT or Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki
6 billion – Have you heard of Groupon.com? Google offered to buy it for $6 billion, and the CEO said lolno. For $6 billion!!!?? I can’t even comprehend how much a billion dollars is. A thousand million, multiplied by SIX?
21- the amount of times I’ve heard “So what do you do all day?” in the past 3 months. Lol It’s a great question, but yeah, I think I answer it differently every time.
2.5 – average amount of times I check scottmizuno.com daily for updates.
3.9 billion- amount of money it took to complete the new Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. The 2,995 room hotel/casino is the newest high-end casino in Vegas. From the pictures and what I’ve read, it’s basically the poor rich-man’s City Center.
.279- field goal percentage for my espn league last night that had 7 players active.
6 out of 10- How excited I am to see this reality show. It looks very exaggerated and over-the-top, but what reality show isn’t?

duff stuff
"And at least you believed in Santa for a little bit. I think my parents killed that for me the moment I discovered who Santa even was. :/" -Jamie
this is so funny and super sad at the same time lol. I can just imagine a young excited little Palmdale Jamie who just learned about Santa and then going to ask her Daddy if he is in fact real. And then Daddy tells Jamie the hard truth, and little jamie looks up very dejected and says "oh...so...so Santa's not real? oh...okay." and just walks back to her room. lol i don't know, it's just what i see in my head
But anyway, my dad is so goofy funny. Long story short, I was planning to go to SF to job shadow my cousin who is a stock options trader. He wakes up around 3:30 or 4 and arrives at work around 5ish. But anyway, I was complaining (like I always do) SARCASTICALLY, and said "How am I ever going to wake up at 3:30 in the morning!?" Without hesitation, my dad reaches to his phone clip, takes his iphone out, and points to the screen and says "just use your iphone, you can use it as an alarm clock to wake yourself up, I'll show you" hahahhahahah he was dead serious, and I just start laughing hysterically. I guess he thought I was really asking how I was going to wake up, literally. hahha maybe you had to be there. but i hope i never forget this

corner pocket
-same story, different year. In my yahoo fantasy bball league last year, I didn't make 1 transaction for the first couple months and was in 1st place for most of the season. Playoff time comes, first round bye, second round exit. So far this year, I haven't made a transaction yet, and sit in 1st place. Blah, I like my team, but the regular season means nothing.
-I had a dream last night. I went on a date with Kim Kardashian to this movie or a show type event. For some reason, other people didn't notice she was famous. But anyway, she was telling me over and over that I was sweet and we were seeming to get along great. I was wearing my purple DC sweatshirt and I guess I took it off. (I can't find that damn sweatshirt by the way, or my ipod, or my red vans sweatshirt that I love) And for some reason, I took it off and it went missing. I went to go look for it but I couldn't find it. When I got back to our seats, Kim wasn't there. I tried to look for her, but couldn't find her for the rest of the night. She was upset with me for leaving her. So another day, I see her before she was about to go on stage for something. We said hi to each other, and before she walked on stage, I told her that I wish I could have changed how the other night went, she smiled and said "me too", then walked on stage and that's all I remember.
hmm, I can't make this stuff up
-i'm going to start drinking coffee
-i wonder when i'm going to stop watching MTV, 25 years old? 30? Not that I watch 16 and Pregnant every Tuesday night or anything, but this season is very forgettable.
-Intervention is such a good TV show
-i miss baseball so much
-i think i misplace my ipod every week or so. but this has been the longest since i've gone without it. I haven't used it in 2 weeks
-Black eyed peas-- time of my life is tied with 'no americano' as the best dance song
-i find it really interesting to hear how people found out that Santa is not real. Derek made me a non believer by 2nd grade, maybe even 1st. He cleverly showed me Santa's handwriting and my Mom's handwriting.
