I AM SO READY FOR THIS.  I can’t believe they’re gonna make me wait until Christmas. UNACCEPTABLE!

The Great Gatsby ftw.

I’m actually really intrigued by this song. Donald’s openness gives me a very different view into his background. This song, though vulgar and strangely frightening, is enlightening; everyone has their own journey; everyone has their own story of triumphs, failures, and the struggles of the in between.

For those of you who know me, I’ve been in an absolute frenzy over The Avengers (I actually went to go see it again this week).  I’ve gotten into arguments, jumped around screaming, done cartwheels, and attacked my friends with a bow and arrow and hammer.  The movie is something that I have been anticipating for almost half a decade and it did not disappoint, so I knew it would take something of immense proportions to take my attention from it.  That thing, was Community.

I’ve been putting off writing this post because there are really no ways to express my words properly; they never seem good enough.  So I will try again, but i know i am ill equipped to express my love, sadness, and unequivocal thanks.

Community is a television show on NBC that follows disgraced former lawyer, Jeff Winger (Joel McHale), as he attempts to re-earn his degree at community college.  Through a series of random events, he grows close to a group of misfits, who he learns to call his friends.  Through the experiences they share and the lessons they learn, they become more than a study group, they become a community; the famed Greendale Seven.  

This show has been a part of my life since 2009 and I love it dearly.  Now I know that it’s just a stupid TV show and I have much better things to spend my time obsessing over, but there’s something incredibly wonderful and enticing about this show.  It’s smart, hilarious, mesmerizing, genius.

Though the season has been renewed for a fourth season, to me (and many others), the show, in many ways, is dying.  Cut down to a thirteen episodes season, the show was exiled to friday night line up.  The show doesn’t connect with most of the general public, perhaps it requires too much thinking. Despite it’s unparalleled homage episodes, beautiful character development, and streets ahead writing style, the show continues to flounder.  
Most recently, creator and show runner Dan Harmon, was fired.  A creative visionary and master story teller, he was the heart and soul of the show.  Without him… I fear for the future.  I fear we have entered into… the darkest timeline.

It seems things have gone pear shaped indeed; the blorgons have taken over; NBC has Bitta-ed everything; we’ve taken a Chang for the worse.  But, if I learned anything for the season 3 finale, it’s that no matter how dark things get, the light can always shine through.  I intend to fight this darkness and make it the other side, wherever - excuse me, whenever that is.

Went to an APUSH note burning party.  It was.. “fun.”

Makes me cry every time… :’(

With everything that’s happening, the things that are about to come to light, people might just need a little old fashioned.

- Agent Phil Coulson

Out of all of the Avengers, Captain America is probably one of the most underrated.  He can’t manipulate the elements; he doesn’t have a suit of armor; he can’t turn into an enormous green rage monster; his costume is a bit dorky.  He’s a man out of time in more ways that one.  He simply does not appeal to today’s young people.  He’s old and lame, lacking style and charisma; he does not belong here.

Despite this, Cap is definitely my favorite.  He’s the leader.  He’s a real hero.  He’s the one who pulls the team together.  Tony is narcissistic; Thor is arrogant; Clint is vengeful.  They each have their flaws.  Not to say that Cap doesn’t, but he definitely draws the team together in a way that the other’s can’t.  He’s the leader they need in order to save the day; he calls the shots.  Though he’s kind of a Boy Scout, uncomfortable going to the beat of his own drum, trusting in authority and maintaining old fashioned morality is perhaps the least offensive of all character flaws.

He’s the not the most powerful; he’s not the coolest; but he’s the hero that everyone depends on, looks up to, needs.  He’s a reminder, not of what America stands for, but it should stand for.  He’s out of place, absolutely, but if this world needs anything, it’s to be reminded of old fashioned morality.  Nobody embodies these characteristics more, than Steve Rogers - Captain America.  The stars and stripes, can never go out of style.

I will not be the first to say this. Tonight’s opening episode of Community, the first of three new episodes leading to the finale, was god damn brilliant. But I’m sure there are a lot of people out there that this episode did not entertain. The majority of the loyal fans, and 8-Bit enthusiasts would find this profound. You were watching a video game for 30 min. This show is crazy smart, very weird, and speaks to a generation of people who may or may not exist within the television watching public. That’s why this show was almost canceled. That’s why this show doesn’t speak to some people. It’s why the show is going to be on Friday nights next season.

Fuck It. The X Files did fine on Friday nights. There are lots of nerdy shows that died on Friday night. Whatever. This show has done enough episodes to live on. How many episodes did Arrested Development have? How many did Twin Peaks have? How long was Firefly on television? Friday Night Lights didn’t even get the dreaded Friday night time slot. Who knows when they aired that show. This show is a gift. It’s what we get for being smart and looking out for things that don’t disappoint us. We are lucky that we are promised 13 more nights of wonderful episodic escapism. Whatever night it plays, whether I watch them on TV or when they get put on DVD, I can’t wait. Thank you NBC. You make terrible choices, but even a network trying so hard to ruin itself makes something good once in a while.
