Well, this is awkward.

So apparently people are reading this blog? That weirds me out a little(scares the shit out of me-a lot), but it's cool in a way I guess. The monthly traffic has "littrelly"(chris traeger) tripled each month since May. To be honest, I preferred when I was under the assumption that only my friends were reading this, and since there are only about 2 or 3 of you, this simply can no longer be the case. I'm kinda embarrassed now. And even worse, now there's the added pressure of writing something worth reading for a change. I don't like it!  Oh, and Happy Canada Day btw.

I'm on Team Ebert.

Ryan Dunn (left) hours before his fatal car accident. Jackass.

It's 2011, jackass. With all due respect to the family and friends of recently deceased daredevil Ryan Dunn, if he was drinking and driving, he brought this on himself. Famed movie critic Roger Ebert tweeted after hearing the news

“Friends don’t let jackasses drink and drive.”

And I couldn't agree more, but too soon? Bam Margera thinks so:

“I just lost my best friend, I have been crying hysterical for a full day and piece of shit roger ebert has the gall to put in his 2 cents.”
“About a jackass drunk driving and his is one, fuck you! Millions of people are crying right now, shut your fat fucking mouth!”

That's all well and good. Mourn the loss of your friend. But Roger Ebert is 100% correct. If Dunn hadn't made his last idiotic decision to drink and drive, he'd be alive, simple as that. I don't think that Ebert is being disrespectful. The millions crying right now should know that this jackass killed himself and a friend, and is lucky to have not involved other innocent bystanders in his stupidity.  Team Ebert, mothafucka.

New Radiohead.

I don't have to sell you on Radiohead. You should already know they're amazing. And here is a new song/video that was not included on The King of Limbs. Staircase.

"DTA - Dont never trust nobody!" - Stone Cold Steve Austin, 1997

Okay so Stunning Steve fucked up the quote in the heat of the moment, but the message remains the same. Trust. Can you really trust anyone? Doubt it, but you can mostly trust some. Well very few, and not all the time. Wait, okay, some people in some situations but for the most part. Almost but no? Nah nigga, Stone Cold had it right. Don't trust anybody. I guess my man Drizzy ain't the only one with trust issues.

"Accentuate the strengths, hide the weaknesses"

A wise man once replied when asked how to mastermind a great performance. Simple as that. No wonder Katy Perry's latest video does not contain a choreographed dance routine. In fact, the singer does more acting than dancing in this video, which not-coincidentally is her best video yet, and one of the best of the year so far.

Jim Carrey > everyone

Jim Carrey is the greatest comedic actor of all time. If not all time, then certainly of my time. And he continues to prove that his comedic talent has no limit, continuously crafting well-thought out, hilarious segments on various late shows throughout the years, in addition to his movies. While recently he hasn't been as commercially (or critically) successful as some other major comedians, Carrey recently returned to form last year with a daring a controversial role in I Love You Philip Morris, which is one of the best movies I've ever seen. When others are relying on the same shit that they've been doing for years (see Sandler, Adam) Carrey continues to take risks and evolve as an actor. Additionally, while most others would be content with the monotonous choreographed conversation late-night hosts offer, Carrey always thinks outside the box and adds something more to his appearances, and last night on Letterman was no exception.
