Old Man Jenkins

Whenever I do find myself picking up a soda, it’s usually a Sprite. But Baja Blast being sold in stores also hasn’t been the best development in my health journey this past year

Already posted enough in davent for one day, so I’ll just post this here. It’s kind of a tack-on to what I posted there. i feel like I’m losing my goddamn mind. I can’t go out to the grocery store without feeling like a paranoid, anxious mess who pays way too much mind to what other people think. I made a bad call when it came to whether or not we should leave out big in the house since the weather is being very inconsistent today. Turns out the weather was decent the whole time we were out and the dogs decided to make the biggest mess possible in the house while we were gone. Then I had a pretty bad, separate blowup that was pretty similar to that one scene in Big Pink Loser where Patrick is using the broom wrong and he’s all like “WHY CANT I DO ANYTHING RIGHT!” Granted, what I did wasn’t sweep the floor with the broom handle stupid, but it still made me feel like I was that stupid and I feel like I don’t contribute anything and I just fuck everything up, so that led to me pulling out of helping a good friend, who helped me out when my dad was in the hospital last year, move stuff for his grandmother on the Big Island tomorrow because I feel like I’ll find a way to fuck that up too and I just need to not bother by staying home and do nothing and just rot.

Making my big push to earn Squidzilla his first GCA Episode 5: Oh No, Not These Two Again Patchy the Pirate and Potty the Parrot are out probably stalking SpongeBob again on a rowboat in Pacific waters. Patchy’s rowboat malfunctions and is forced to dock at Bikini Atoll. Potty worries about the lingering radiation and possibly getting contaminated, but Patchy is too obsessed with SpongeBob SquarePants to worry about something so insignificant in comparison. Whilst arguing, the pirate and his bird hear some strange sounds further down coastline. They follow it hoping they’ve come across SpongeBob’s fabled asexual reproduction grounds, but mostly Patchy’s excitement is brought to a complete halt as they find two monsters fighting. Patchy immediately recognizes one of the monsters to be Squidzilla, having conveniently been stalking SpongeBob during the monster’s initial rampage. But this new big, scary and pink menace that it’s locked in combat with eludes him despite its eerily close resemblance to Patrick Star. In the heat of battle, Patrickosaurus nonchalantly devours Potty whole. The two monsters then brawl off the surrounding reef, into the ocean. Leaving Patchy by himself to mourn his chief enabler. Patchy reports to the authorities in Bikini Bottom, who are already well aware of who he is and what does in his spare time, so they take his claims with a huge grain of salt. But word of Patchy’s encounter reaches Sandy, who is currently caring for and running tests on a giant egg in her Treedome. Using notes and textbooks left behind by Frenchy, Sandy finds out that the other creature Squidzilla had been fighting was Patrickosaurus. Frenchy had previously read up on Patrickosaurus in a book written by his Polish contemporary, Polish Narrator. She learns for herself that Patrickosaurus and Squidzilla lived around the same time millions of years ago. Squidzilla hated all creatures, especially those of the steamed vegetable, only smarter levels of annoyance, which explains the intense rivalry between Patrickosaurus and Squidzilla. Sandy brings her latest findings forward to the Bikini Bottom Defense Force, who decide to hold a meeting to address her latest concerns. The scientists and military officials in attendance are still not fully on board with Sandy following her mental breakdown during the Krabby Patty Apocalypse. Plankton resurfaces during said meeting to corroborate Sandy’s latest developments. He shows them a tape he salvaged from the rubble of the Chum Bucket, showing Squidzilla attacking Bikini Bottom, specifically the moment of his restaurant’s destruction, just one year before. He then explains that the monster Patchy and Potty saw is ANOTHER Squidzilla, brought to their time against its will. Plankton states that there is no way to kill Squidzilla this time around as Frenchy, the inventor of the weapon used to kill the previous Squidzilla, has disappeared much like Plankton did at the conclusion of the Krabby Patty Apocalypse. Possibly to keep the secrets of the Fried Oyster Destroyer safe from the wrong hands. Plankton discloses that he had left town previously in order to investigate these space-time anomalies that seem to be related to his and SpongeBob’s meddling with the timeline during the events of Burger Beard’s theft of the Krabby Patty secret formula. With more recent events bringing his work back closer to home. Sandy suggests that the navy should use smooth jazz on Squidzilla to draw the monster away from the city. Sandy theorizes that Squidzilla becomes angry when he hears music that’s better than his own, if the behavior exhibited by his closest living descendent, Squidward Tentacles, is anything to go off of. The navy gives the go-ahead for this countermeasure before retired navy officer, Mr. Krabs, steps forward to have Plankton arrested for his role in sparking all this chaos in the first place, despite SpongeBob’s protests.

Squidzilla Raids Again Episode 4: The Battle Before Time Hundreds of millions of years ago, dinosaurs walked the earth, and even greater horrors lurked deep below. One such horror was the mighty Squidasaurus Rex, creatures who saw itself as vastly superior than the rest of its peers. Squidasaurus Rex was more evolved, more cognizant and more self-aware. It was this very trait that made living within close proximity of others simply unbearable. One such Squidasaur found himself in the unenviable position of being next door neighbors with the equally imposing and infinitely annoying prickasaur known as Patrickosaurus! Living comfortably within the petrified head of the tiki god that was thought to have spawned him in old creation myth, Squidasurus’ life turned upside down the moment Patrickosaurus moved his mountain next door, under which he would burrow and live. Squidasaurus saw this blatant act of war as something similar to a fly landing on his home cooked meal. Squidasaurus Rex tolerated the no good prick’s unwelcome presence until the day Patrickosaurus decided to devour 300 orders of fried oyster skins, a lethal combination that proved fatal to Squidasaurus Rex’s overall health. Squidasaurus Rex would adapt to the increasing threat by developing rancid breath as a result of devouring the equally lethal combination of ketchup, onions and a completely intact potted peanut plant without even freezing it (because I have to canonically introduce a completely different, separate Squidzilla from the first, and have it somehow already have rancid breath). This feat proved to only be a temporary success as Patrickosaurus would then go on to adapt even further by evolving away his nose entirely. Powerless to keep Patrickosaurus away from his doorstep, Squidasaurus Rex decides to do the next best thing by filing for a restraining order against his horrible neighbor. Despite the power that prehistoric law now granted him, he was still unable to keep Patrickosaurus completely at bay. This led to a climactic neighborly squabble that shook the very foundations of history. The only known witnesses of the battle were Patchy the Primate and Potty the Pteranodon, who would go on the record in elementary level history books that the clash of titans culminated in a blinding flash of light, and all that remained of either competitor was the strange portal that had randomly appeared behind them. Yes, the two titans of terror would technically go on to battle for millions of years before spontaneously landing on Bikini Atoll in the present day.

I love karaoke! I always make room in my schedule whenever it comes up. My friends and I usually hit up those places where you reserve a private room for however many hours (usually 3 in our case). Never did do an open mic sesh since my friends wouldn’t be down for that, but it’s something I honestly wouldn’t mind doing one of these days. And I’m always on the fence about entering the karaoke contest that Kawaii Kon holds every year. I’m usually an anxious, nervous wreck at most other social events, but something about karaoke just puts me much more at ease for some reason.

SpongeBob must be stopped

Not enough MONEY

WWE scooping up Ethan Page is a damn good get. The guy’s criminally underrated and was criminally underutilized in AEW. A wrestler with plenty of upside, I thought he really could’ve been an MJF-level player for AEW, but it just wasn’t meant to be for one reason or another. Hopefully he gets used to his full potential in the other place.

This will probably be the last time I’ll post my movie going updates on this thread, as I’ll be shifting most of that stuff towards my recently launched just for fun movie review instagram page. Here’s a link to it if anybody wants keep up with their old man https://www.instagram.com/straycatreviews?igsh=MXU1YXA2Zjd4Zjh3cA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr I Saw The TV Glow: My ticket taker friend-sorta told me flat out that people straight up walked out of this one and said it was bad. So that piqued my interest more going in, and I can get why that was the case. I’ve no doubt some people walked out due to “political reasons”, but story-wise, this movie is quite the acquired taste. It’s pretty much if one of those really meta episodes of Supernatural were made into an A24 movie. And while aesthetically pleasing and atmospheric asf, it’s just not scary for something that’s billed as a “horror-drama”. The drama is there, sure, but the horror is what I was sold on and it was sorely lacking in it. I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily bad and it takes a whole lot to get me to walk out of a movie, but I can see why it might’ve gotten that reception from others. Furiosa: Good action flick for the big screen. Wouldnt say it’s better than Fury Road, but it’s still damn good in its own right. Garfield Movie: Wanted to love it like I did the Super Mario Movie because I grew up as quite the Garfield enthusiast, but it was missing certain components to the point that I only ended up sort of liking it.

Abigail: It was a nice sorta return to form for Radio Silence after their last two Scream outings. Felt like a return to something more in line with Ready Or Not (which I love). This movie was fun and makes full use of that R-rating, so it wasn’t just some M3GAN lite. It adds some interesting layers onto the Universal vampire mythos. The cast was awesome, nice to see Kathryn Newton in something else that plays more to her strengths this soon after Lisa Frankenstein (plz give her anything to expunge the stank of Quantumania off her ty) The movie admittedly gets hampered down by its final act. It seemed cool on paper, but it was messy with its execution. Still a bloody fun good time to be had with a good crowd or group tho. Boy Kills World: Wanted to love it more than I ended up just liking it. It seemed to have a winning recipe going for it but idk, something just didn’t click as well it should’ve. Maybe it’s because I still have Monkey Man fresh in my mind and that movie went all in on its lore and world building and giving me such a good reason to care about its characters that it wants you to root for. Boy Kills World is mostly just played for laughs tho, so that’s probs on me. The Hunger Games-esque world it’s building seems hella interesting, but I guess it mostly operates as a parody of that rather than to be fleshed out in its own interesting ways. The action and brutality was on point tho. Helps scratch the John Wick itch. The final fight was one of the more visceral, cerebrally articulated fight scenes I’ve seen in any of these kine movies. Good shit. It’s fun to hear Bob’s Burgers/Archer/Coach McGuirk providing what is essentially color commentary for the entire movie, but it’s a gimmick I feel would get old quick for some. But it does lead to one of this movie’s funnier gags involving a guy whose lips Boy can’t reads Fun ass movie, but went in expecting a bit more than what I got. Fun to be had watching with other like-minded people who enjoy these joints as much as you do. My mystery movie crowd ate this shit up, so a good crowd helped a lot.

Currently living with my dad and sister. Between supporting my mom when she was undergoing her cancer treatments, taking care of my grandma when her Alzheimer’s/dementia was getting real bad, watching out for my dad after his heart attacks and helping care for my sister who has Down’s syndrome, someone had to stick around. Especially with my other older siblings being off-island doing their own things. Not to mention the cost of living here in Hawaii. I’d never make it on my own without some help. And idk how I’d handle living with non-family roommates.

This past Monday’s Regal Mystery Movie was the Spy x Family movie releasing tomorrow. I spoiled the surprise for myself before going in so I was expecting a lot of walkouts, but surprisingly only like one couple got up and left. Most everyone else seemed to enjoy it, so it was cool to see an anime getting some love from a crowd I’d assume wouldn’t be for it. The sour ass lemons on Reddit be damned. I still need to catch up with the series myself (as is the case with most every tv series I miraculously get so much as a start on), but since it’s still pretty fresh in its run, this movie’s given me some incentive to get back to it. Maybe. Watched Arcadian on Tuesday, which was pretty good. Like Shudder’s very own Quiet Place (if they haven’t already made one). It was pretty much mostly all I wanted It Comes At Night to be when I first watched that lol. I found it funny that this theater didn’t bother showing Dream Scenario (which I still have to watch btw), but this is the Nic Cage movie they went out of their way to play. I guess it has some sorta deal with Regal or something. And then I watched Interstellar last night since I’ve never watched it at all, so having that first experience in a theater is a cool thing to have. Idk why I didn’t watch it during its initial run since I was still doing my whole movie-watching thing back then. Guess I was frugal with my movie picks since I didn’t have Regal Unlimited back then and only went to the theater once or twice a week? The movie was good, but got kinda boring for me during the final stretch. Doesn’t help that a lot of it felt like ASMR the movie, so I was nodding off a lot at that point lol.

Can’t really think of a good spot to talk wrasslin on the discord, so I’ll just say my piece here. It takes a really special kind of a fuck up to get the likes of Jim Cornette, Eric Bischoff and Vince Russo to all collectively agree that you really fucked up. You can literally see Tony Schiavone having war flashbacks to WCW’s worst days after that security camera footage segment with The Young Bucks ended. All that shit did was put over a guy who doesn’t even work for AEW anymore. It doesn’t necessarily do any favors for the perception of Jack Perry. It corroborates CM Punk’s side of the story that he told Ariel Helwani a lot more. Tony Khan makes himself look every bit like the clown that Punk says he is if that video truly captures the moment that he “felt afraid for his life”. Such a shame to see all the promise this company once had go right down the drain in the span of one night, and all because of a bruised ego. Khan’s been on a downward spiral for a good while now, but this past Dynamite was definitely him sinking to the lowest of the low. Never felt true fear for AEW’s future until this week. If they don’t get the kind of tv deal that they want out of WBD, hoo boy.

Lucky I live Hawai’i
