Friday and the Random 10 (Jamaican Me Crazy with These Long Songs Edition)

So things are finally settling down some. The park hours are cutting back, it's cooling down a bit, and the Electric Light Parade is coming up to its final performance (Oct 9th)! After that, they have no idea what we will be doing at night. No really, there is nothing scheduled as of yet to replace it. Get ready for more Move It, Shake It dance parties!!! Meh.

Friday and the Random 10 (Pokemon Go Edition)

So yeah, I think it is about time I mentioned the craze that is currently sweeping the nation: Pokemon Go. And, no I don't play it because, in the words of my friend Scott, "I'm a grown ass man". However, I knew it was going to be huge. How? Well I play another little app called Ingress, which is also developed by Niantic, just like Pokemon GO. 

As a matter of fact, all the Pokemon locations (whatever they're called) are actually the locations of portals in Ingress. Like copied straight over. Ingress portals are near objects of art, parks, and historical areas (that's why you can catch Picazulu at places like the Holocaust Museum...it wasn't meant to be disrespectful, it's that it was considered an important location in the other game).

So right now I am working on combining this countdown with a list of the Top 10 Pokemon(s?...Pokemen?...Pokemai?) as told to me by my daughters Wendy and Lorelei. It will probably suck, but here goes:

Friday and the Random 10 (Good Friday Edition)

Happy Good Friday everyone! Or is it just Good Friday to you all? I don't know the best way to say it and surely don't want Catholics mad at me. Either way, you know what day it is. 

Quick Von, distract them with music. Hey look down there:

Friday and the Random 10 (Silence is Golden Edition)

You know, I keep trying with the video/podcast thing and keep running into roadblocks. This week I am just going back to old school while I sort out my options (that and I am so far behind this week I don't have time to do the full version anyway. Sad but true.) Oh well, it's all about the music anyway:

Friday and the Random 10 (Rock & Roll HOF Edition)

So, the new nominees are out for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and most of it just leaves me scratching my head. Rock & Roll?!? You keep using that phrase but I don't think it means what you think it means. Chic? Janet Jackson? Chaka Khan? Let me say that again. Umm, Chaka Kahn? I feel for you honey. I do, but no.

This isn't a music HOF, it's rock & roll! I voted for The Cars, Chicago (yeah I know I give them a hard time but the 70's stuff is legendary), Deep Purple, and of course, the most deserving in the universe and basically how the frack are they not in there already, YES.

P.S. Who the Hell are The J.B.'s? And N.W.A.??? Not on my planet. My world is more like this:

Friday and the Random 10 (High I.Q. Edition)


Last week things ended up with a distinct soundtrack flavor. It was a regular Top 10 list , but the Tarkus was never summoned, meaning the residents of Exile Island (Yes and Apollo 440) were set free. Anyone is fair game this week. Let's see how it turns out!

Friday and the Random 10 (NFL Draft Edition)

The only thing I care about when it comes to the NFL draft is where my Bama boys go. The first round had only one Alabama player taken (Amari Cooper, #4 to the Raiders), but he's a stud. Raider nation, you guys will love him. Hopefully tonight more will have their names called. #RollTide

But for now, I am going to see how the Random 10 matches up with the first ten picks in the draft. Before we get started though, how about that Random Ten last week? You can take a quick review by following this link, or trying to figure out the artists from the cool picture below:

Friday and the Random 10 (Bracket Buster Edition)

Spring training is in full bloom down here in central Florida, but the main thing going on is March Madness. Yes, the tournament is in full swing as of yesterday. My bracket is, well, worthless now. As most years I hardly make it past round one. At least I have opening day to look forward to in a few weeks.

Maybe the Random 10 will be full of Final Four teams and possibly a Cinderella or two. But first, as a quick review of last week, you can follow this link, or try and figure out the artists from the cool picture below:

Friday and the Random 10 (5 Star Edition)

Well how was that for a Super Bowl? Not bad huh? I wasn't too far off with my prediction of New England by a score of 33-30 (it was actually 28-24). Seriously though Seattle, run the damn ball.

In bigger and better news though, Bama pulled in yet another #1 recruiting class. Ho hum. It would be really nice if we got some to stay for the senior year instead of bolting for the NFL. That's what happens when you sign all those 5 star recruits. #BamaProblems

Let's see how many stars this week's Random 10 would get! But first, as a quick review of last week, you can follow this link, or check out the cool picture below:

Friday and the Random 10 (Lateral Noise Edition)

Well as we approach another weekend it is time for a little bit of randomness. The new format seems to be working so I guess it's a permanent thing now. I'm still worried about the time it takes, but as long as I can keep my Friday's off I should be okay. That's not the case today, but I'm up early enough to get it done.

Friday and the Random 10 (Life Hangover Edition)

You know what? Blah. That's how many of us at work feel.We finally made it through the holidays and we are all basically not cast members at Disney, but cast members of the Walking Dead. So many of us are sick from working extended hours, and the rest of us are just plain worn out. Add into that the actual holidays themselves, plus what transpired in the Sugar Bowl last night (and 2014 in general) and I just have a hangover from life, no alcohol needed.

Nothing to do but plow ahead for the very first Random 10 for 2015. Last week was an all 2014 edition, so this one starts off completely fresh. 


Highlights from last week.
