The Last Summer In History!

Hey friends Oz is back for a summer freak out edition of The Oz Files. Tonight's blog is going to knock your socks off Leah is a mastermind behind this epic brain trust we like to call The Oz Files. The topic is hmmm. An announcement is made that due to something crazy, this will be the last summer ever. Once fall hits, the weather will stay cold forever. What is my initial reaction? Would this news upset me? What would I miss the most about summer and how would I spend my last summer? Wow no more summers EVER what are we going to do about this? My reaction, What the @@@@! Who made this decision to have no more summers? The camping and the tubing the BBQ's. The summer camps and the boys of summer what is the world going to do? I think time travel is a great thing the Delorian stay in the same year forever and Summer will never go away! Without Summer there is no Pig Out At The Park just one of the great Festivals in this great nation of ours. Okay maybe Spokane Washingotn USA but hey I can dream big! Without Summer we don't' have the Summer blockbuster movies and the beach parties and the shades a plenty! The swimsuits and bikinis and the beach volleyball on the AVP tour what is this world coming too? I am happy I have the Delorian ha ha ha who wants to join me? Would this news upset me? Um Yes but as I have noted earlier I have the Delorian so i will be able to enjoy summer all the time! I think Bakersfield California in the Delorian could be a nice little treat. I'll let you all know Rockford Washington will NOT be on the list that's for damn sure! What would I miss most about Summer? Hm let's say I don't have the Delorian what would I miss most? Hmm I'm thinking I'd miss tubing out on the water and swimming and having those family camp outs and also the BBQ! How would I spend my last Summer? I would spend it in the great continent of Australia. Hello Sydney Australia I would love scouting the nice "scenery" The Grade A talent G'day mate! I would love to go to the beaches down there way down under! I love the accents and that is where I would be if once again I did not have my Delorian and we have stated that I do have this amazing machine! I should clarify if you don't know what the Delorian is ummmm you need to Google it so you can educate yourself on the hard hitting topics in today's society. Great Scotts Marty I think this blog is a wrap! What do you think about this whole discussion? Well until next time may the Oz always be with you so long!

Summer Plans A Plenty!

Hey friends it's Oz here for another summer edition of The Oz Files. So Leah wants to know what I'm up to this summer! So tonight's blog will be as follows, Well summer plans: how do I plan to spend my summer? Am I going anywhere or do I have an exciting plans? If I"m just relaxing and enjoying Spokane, then what are some things in town that I would like to do and or enjoy this summer? So how do I plan to spend my summer? I plan to be working or hardly working whatever comes first himmm. I definitely plan on doing trivia at Morty's Wednesdays nights at 8:30! Also go see some movies at AMC Yes that is definitely in the plans. I also plan to watch The Wiz at least one time this summer because Leah returned it today after close to 2 years. Now that's some progress oh and she never watched it. How does this make me feel? It makes me said and I'm crying inside and I think this is a tragic event! Also camping will be in the mix you can bet your bottom dollar that there will be sun! Also swimming will be in the picture because I love to swim just jump in and don't be a pansy and slowly walk in come on people lock it in! Am I going anywhere or do I have exciting plans? As far as I know a couple camping trips will be in store definitely at Seven Bays absolutely stunning. Tubing will be on slate when we go down there and also Fort Spokane also a great place for camping. Other than that I don't have any current plans on going anywhere. I will be planning on watching Seattle Mariners baseball this year I hope they fall on there face if they won't win the division or wild card. Yes it's brutal but I want that #1 pick next year in the draft we came so close last year but only lost 101 games and got the #2 pick. Finally the last thing I'd be doing over the summer of course is twittering and that's year round. Also would go down to Riverfront Park and feed the duckies! What would you do in the summer time? Well until next time may the Oz always be with you so long

Summer Movies of 2009!

Hey friends it's Oz here for a summer movie edition of The Oz Files! The blog topic tonight is as follows, Summer time means summer movies! Amazing movies come out every summer. What movies am I wanting to see? What makes me think those will be good movies? Are there any movies that I will not bother watching? Hey peeps of the Oz blog I can guarantee you that this blog is going to be a lot longer than solid 7 lines. Last night was short because it was one question and it was a simple question and I had to watch RAW it's that simple! So what movies of the summer of 2009 is Oz going to go see? Yes I did go third person on ya and by now you should know that's how I be rolling! I've already seen Wolverine and that movie was pretty damn epic. I saw it at Northtown Mall unfortunately but those were the cards I was dealt! Going into this movie I wasn't thrilled about it but it was something to do last Friday night. I must say that the action scenes were amazing. The action was pretty darn good if you ask me. The CGI was off the chains dudes and dudets mind blowing and jaw dropping madness. If you haven't seen it you gotta go see it. I have heard a lot of buzz about The Hangover and next weekend I definitely be hitting up the AMC! What It's About: Todd Phillips ('Old School,' 'Road Trip') revisits the theme of boys behaving badly with a Vegas bachelor party gone awry -- which leads to hangovers, spotty memories and a missing groom-to-be (Justin Bartha). Will the three groomsmen reclaim their best friend and deliver him to the altar in time? If Philips' previous movies are any indication, they'll be plenty of raucousness, a touch of male-bonding sweetness, and at least 12 lines that call for "earmuffs. I think this movie is going to be hilarious people who have seen it have said it's off the hook that's the news from the twitter vine! The other movie I would see is called All Good Thongs. What is it about? Gosling plays a New York real-estate heir (think a young Donald Trump, with better hair) who gets involved with a woman from the proverbial wrong side of the tracks (Dunst). When she mysteriously disappears, a down-on-his luck detective (Morgan) stumbles upon the truth ... and a lot more than he bargained for. Based loosely on a real story, the movie marks the feature directorial debut of Andrew Jarecki ('Capturing the Friedmans'). To answer the question what makes me think they will be good movies? For Wolverine I saw it and loved it and it was quite epic. In regards to The Hangover just reading what's it's about and watching the trailer it's hands down going to be the funniest movie of the summer! Finally in regards to All Good Things I have two words for ya Kirsten Dunst enough said case closed! Also what movies will I not bother watching? I won't name the films but all the family films Oz will not be watching those films. I have also seen State Of Play with Russel Crow Oh My Goodness a MUST SEE AMAZING! What are your thoughts on this subject? Well until next time may the Oz always be with you so long!

Swimming and Camping!

Hey friends it's Oz here for a summer edition of The Oz Files. Tonight's blog is going to be short and sweet! Leah says what is my favorite part of summer? I will let you know that my favorite part of summer is the great weather and the swimming and camping. My family loves camping in the summer and for that matter anytime of the year. We always have a good time and it's really a good time had by all. I enjoy swimming in the water and tubing that's always a joy that I look forward to every summer. I think we are done here. What is your favorite time of summer? Well until next time may the Oz always be with you so long!

Summer Camps Are The Best!

Hey friends it's Oz here for a summer edition of The Oz Files. So Leah asked me to choose yet another theme and this weeks theme is summertime. Leah says she needs to know my favorite summertime memory. How old was I when this happened? What is it exactly that makes this memory my top choice? Well I've had a lot of great summer memories but I think I'm gonna go with some church camp memories. I've been to church camp as a kid and I've been to church camp as a young teen like 16 17 18 and a little older than that as counselor and program staff. Church camp was a week long thing and lots of activities planned and worship and the messages kids style! It was all a lot of fun and my favorite summer memory was my last year doing this. I was program staff and me and this cool dude named George we ran the ball field. We played soccer with a huge ball with 2 cabins on each rotation in the afternoons. Also on the big field was the water balloon launcher so there were hoses so for those hot days I got to soak myself. I loved playing those soccer games talking with the campers grades 2nd through 6th I was there favorite. During one of the games I tackled one of the female counselors it was a good time! Also for the whole game in one of the games I was playing for this one cabin and then I was standing at the other ends goal which were red cones. Talking to two of the 4th or 5th grade girls and said you have to go your not on our team. I said I think I'm going to be on your team now! They said Ozzie we don't believe you so I told them to check this out. So when the other team came down with the huge ball I kicked the ball the other way. George yelled out I thought you were on there team I said I have switched teams. That was a great bonding experience. One of the summers when I was a counselor i got this program staff young women Nicole very very very very very wet wow she was soaked when we went to dinner. Ha she wasn't a happy camper no pun intended. One summer I was a counselor think it was that same year when I soaked Nicole so bad we played kickball huge ball I caught it and sprained my wrist fun! But let's focus back to the last year when I was on the program staff. I did it two years and this last one I did was amazing. We always did a variety show and with my singing voice I sang Mary Did You Know. I could see people in the crowd crying when I sang because well it was a great song and I sang it very very well. I got tons of props that night and the next morning. I also sprained my ankle that night I was supposed to sleep in one of the boys cabins and I had my dress shoes on still and slipped and fell down and a huge group of program staff and counselors were standing around. I got on a wheel chair they rolled me into my pad and I layed down I was in tears Nicole was there SMILE! The next day I woke up pain free and it was amazing. All the prayers were great Barb the head honcho said why are you walking I said I have no pain. She was leading the counselors meeting and I went to breakfast and everyone was happy it was the last day of camp! Oh and to answer the question how old was I think I was like 19 or 20 maybe 22 I don't know! It was somewhere in the past 5 years I believe. Now they have the church camp at the church. What made it my top choice? Well I think I covered all that great times all around! Also the 2nd grade girls cabin made me a card to wish I feel better. I visited them at the cabin I broke down in tears because it was such a sweet thing and they gave me hugs. Now that's a Kodak moment! Well what do you guys think is your best summertime moment? Well until next time may the Oz always be with you so long!

The Worst TV Show Of Mankind!

Hey friends it's Oz here for a swan song edition of The Oz Files. Well we are doing two blogs tonight because Leah thought she sent the topic from last night like at 9 something but it was in her outbox so she sent it to me around 1230AM so now we just gotta do double duty and this last TV themed blog is going to knock your socks off. I have been doing some hard research today to see what show to come up with. The blog topic is what is the worst TV show of all time? What makes this show so terrible? Is it still on the air? If so, what could be done to improve the show? If not, why do I think the show got cancelled? All right guys and gals I went on Google today and hunted and pecked for the worst show of all time. There was a close second but this one is the worst show of all time and I got all sorts of evidence to back it up. The second worst TV show is VIVA Laughin look it up and you will know why. The worst TV show of all time is one that everyone who is reading this probably hasn't heard of it. I never heard of it because the show was way down under in Australia. This show was called Australia's Naughtiest Home Videos! Wow is it hot in here oh yes you can draw your conclusions here. I will now reference Office Space It's a jump to conclusions mat! What makes this show so terrible? It was a 1992 series spun off from Australia's Funniest Home Video Show, hosted by Doug Mulray. This show was actually cancelled during its first episode when then-Nine Network owner Kerry Packer called the station and ordered the show be taken off the air. After a commercial break, the network cut to a rerun of Cheers citing technical difficulties. It was shown in a repackaged version on August 28, 2008. There is some difference of opinion as to whether this was intended as a special or as an actual series. When you have a show get canned during your first show and you don't get to finish it. I think that classifies as the worst show of all time. I must say showing Cheers isn't a bad alternative NORM! Finally why do I think the show was cancelled? I never saw the show and most of Australia apparently did not get to watch the show. My opinion is that the name of the show says it all Australia's Naughtiest Home Videos. I don't know what people are thinking of having these shows air when naughty is part of the show. That's why they live DOWN UNDER G'day MATES! What do you think about this topic? If this isn't the winner which one is it? Well until next time may the Oz always be with you so long!

TV Families 101!

Hey friends it's Oz here for a free write Friday edition of The Oz Files. So sticking with the TV theme this week I've decided to pick my top 3 and bottom 3 TV families from sitcoms. If it was all around TV families the McMahon's and Osbourne's would be on the list for best then worst TV families. Ok let's start with the bottom 3 then we will proceed with the top 3. This was a tough decision some cuts had to be made but I'll be giving out honorable mentions at the end of this blog. Alrighty so the bottom 3 TV families in my humble unbiased opinion is going to be groovy and quite hilarious. So the 3rd worst TV family in history has to be the Barones from Everybody Loves Raymond. I love that show so much but you gotta admit that family had some issues. Ray Barone a sportswriter and his wife Deborah a housewife. You can't forget Ray's brother Robert and his mother Marie and father Frank What makes this classic bad TV family is they are always in some quarrel and Ray's stuck in the middle. When you got mother Marie trying to teach wife Deborah how to do things as a mother and wife that really gets the ball going and Frank always says HOLY CRAP! We have now reached the number 2 worst TV family in history. That brings us to the Bundy's from Married With Children. Al Bundy a shoe salesman doesn't do much he hates fat women and he hates his wife. Peggy Bundy the housewife he eats bonbons and watches TV all day and can't cook worth a lick. Kelly Bundy the pretty devious daughter is boy crazy and has lots of boyfriends and always got into trouble. Last but not least Buddy Bundy the smart A student of the family and also made some nice remarks about everyone bad remarks. Al and Peggy locked horns a lot and I think this happens because he always called her WOMEN! Women please get me some dinner. Peggy I think I got me some nice Stael potato chips kids dinner is ready. The kids are just classic just little devious kids doing what kids do best create havoc. I haven't seen much of this show but I have to now but thanks for playing. The all time worst TV family is the Connor's from the Rosanne Show! Dan the father, Rosanne the mother, DJ, Darlene and Becky were the three kids. Rosanne has to be one of the worst mothers on television. She did not supervise with the kids and she always yelled at them for stupid stuff. Dan tried to act like he was the man but deep down inside he knew he wasn't in charge it was that power hungry Rosanne Conner! She has caused the most havoc from any family on TV ever it's downright nasty! I wouldn't want to mess with her because I think the white trash might come out geeeeeeeeter DONE! We move into the top 3 TV families of all time. So the 3rd best TV family are the Cunningham's. You gotta love them from Happy Days which is one of my top 3 shows of all time. You got the father Howard Cunningham, Mother Marion Cunningham, Sister Joanie Cunningham and of course the good looking clean cut Richie Cunningham. The Cunningham's were such a great family they had good laughs and they fought thought some tough times as well. They made everyone feel like part of the family and a lot of people watching could relate to the Cunningham's. We now move on to the 2nd best TV family of all time and that is the Brady's. You know them from the classic TV series The Brady Bunch. America's favorite family father Mike Brady, Mother Carol Brady, Daughters Jan, Marsha and Cindy. Brothers Greg, Peter and Bobby. What is there not to love about the Brady's? It's your typical modern family whose corny lines always make me laugh. Peter brady stick in my mind by saying "porkchops and applesauce." Who can ever forget the episode when Marsha Marsha Marsha nose got hit by a football. They kept playing that over and over and over again. All the kids got in a lot of trouble but what I loved about it is the kids tried to cover up others boo boos and take the fall but as we all know the truth always prevailed. We finally get to the best TV family in history and that is the Huxtable's from The Cosby Show. I don't have to go into it because we all know the COS is amazing and so is the FAM! Honorable mentions for best families Arnold's Wonder Years, Seaver's Growing Pains and Taylors Home Improvement. Who do you pick? Well until next time may The Oz Always be with you so long!
