But some immaturities will always remain... For instance, I’m never going to quit playing video games… I’ll never stop leaving dirty dishes on the coffee table, and I’ll never, EVER, stop drinking directly from the carton of milk in the fridge…
There is one thing I would like to change though… I want to stop doing the “Pee Pee Dance.”
A grown man should not do the “Pee Pee Dance.”
I came to this realization yesterday as I was at work… I was typing up an email to a client and I had to go #1, really bad.
I had been thinking about going for the better part of a hour, but I kept putting it off. “I’ll go after I finish this game of Free-Cell.”
Anyway, as I was just about to get up and relieve myself I got a call which led to me having to type the above referenced email… For as long as I can remember I’ve had this strange issue where no matter how bad I have to pee, I can’t go until I’m finished doing whatever it is I’m working on… It makes no sense, I don’t know why, but I’ve always had this issue.
So of course, now that I had to write this email, I knew I wouldn’t allow myself to go to the bathroom until it was done… even though my bladder was about to explode.
I tried typing the email as fast as I could, but of course that led to typos and miss-worded sentences that only lengthened the process.
It was when I started re-writing the email that “The Pee Pee Dance” began.
As my fingers plucked away on the keyboard, I stood up, sat down, stood back up, swiveled my hips to the side, and then sat down again.
Another weird issue I have is proof reading everything I write over and over and over. Even the most simple email like “Are we going to McDonalds for lunch?” gets read 10 times and re-written at least half that amount.
If any of you reading this have a blog that I read, you may find it interesting know that even a simple one sentence comment that I leave on your blog is a five minute process…
Normally that re-reading issue doesn’t cause any problems, but when I’m having my “Pee issue” AND the “re-reading issue” at the same time, it’s not good. Not good at all.
So there I am- sitting, standing, twisting, crossing my legs, trying to read, re-read, type, and not piss my pants all at the same time.
When it was finally over I raced to the bathroom and got my business done just in time… As I washed my hands I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I gave myself a disapproving look… “You‘re 26 years old, why are you doing the Pee-Pee Dance?!”
Now on to Film Vault Tuesday:
******************************
Title: JFK (1991)Credits: Kevin Costner, Tommy Lee Jones, Joe Pesci
Why: I’ve been watching a lot of A&E, History Channel, Discovery Channel lately and they each have their own version of show with the same theme… Debunking Myths and Analyzing Historical Mysteries- that sort of thing… Anyway, one night I watched like 3 straight hours of nerds analyzing every aspect and crazy theory about the JFK assassination… Which led me to want to dust off my JFK DVD.
I think we can all agree that Oliver Stone is insane… His theory that a bunch of right wing gay militants conspired with some higher ups at the Pentagon to kill JFK is totally insane… but it’s damn entertaining!
Joe Pesci and Tommy Lee Jones are both phenomenal in their roles, and Kevin Costner trying to do a New Orleans accent is always entertaining.
Not to mention the non-stop cameo’s from the likes of John Candy, Kevin Bacon, Walter Matthau, Jack Lemmon, and the chick who played Jackie from Roseanne.
Remote Stopper Scene: The Donald Sutherland scene… Costner’s character goes to Washington to have a very cloak and dagger secret meeting with Sutherland
(A higher up in the Military Intelligence sector of Washington)… Most of what Sutherland’s character says about the specifics of the JFK assassination is pure Oliver Stone BS, but a lot of what he has to say about how the Military and Weapons manufacturers ran our country at the time (and to some extent still do) is very eye-opening… Sutherland does an excellent job of delivering the monologue that leaves you scratching your head searching for answers.
Goosebump/Tear Factor: Courtroom scene… I’ve actually read the transcript of Jim Garrison’s actual closing argument in the case against Clay Bertrand, it wasn’t all that charismatic- but hey Hollywood doesn’t care about trivial things such as “facts“ or “reality”!
Regardless, it’s a moving and powerful scene, even if Costner’s accent does suck.
Overall Rating: 8/10... Did Lee Harvey Oswald act alone? Were there other gunman? Did he have help planning the assassination? Who knows… One thing is for certain, it wasn’t bunch of gay fascists who pulled this thing off!
But don’t let that fact deter you from enjoying a very well acted movie.
By the way, if you're a Right Wing Gay Facist, involved in the assassination of JFK, and you're reading this... I apologize for not taking you seriously.

I never got through that entire filim, but I love all those conspiracy theories about everything. Who really killed JFK? Now, I'm gonna have to go rent this movie and find out. Good pick. :)
And it's ok to be 26 and still do the pee-pee dance. I still do. :P
Really good pick. I remember watching this in the theater and thinking that all these theories were some how true. The acting was great.
I totally do the reread and the pee pee dance. So...I feel your pain.
Oh yeah...sometimes I will opt not to comment because I have reread my comment. I know...lame!!
you know, joel, i feel like i now know something about you that i shouldn't! the pee pee dance. hmmm... seems like only your *really* close friends should know about your bathroom habits! i guess i'm in the club now! ;)
You would think that if you re-read your comments/blog entries TEN times that you wouldn't continue to have typos...
***This is the comment that your loyal readers will trace to the notion that "His friend Moe Greene is a real jerk."***
hmmm? i don't know if i'll put this movie on my netflix...i will have to think about it.
Dude, grow up and just go pee...hehehehehe ;-) i think it's cute that a 26 year old still does the pee-pee dance.
hey! no one is too old to PEE WEE DANCE! LOL
I loved it when Kelly Bundy makes a reference to this movie in "Married with Children" and she calls it "Jifk."
LOL, classic.
(btw, this note took 30 seconds total. .and i dont re-read, so you're getting typos and all!)
emc/santiago- I'm glad to know I'm not the only adult who still does the pee pee dance.
jennifer- I guess this story would have been more appropriate when I still had the monkey on the toilet cartoon on my blog... I think that may have been before you were reading my blog though... anyway, before I had that cartoon of me in the right hand corner, there was a shitting monkey.
moe- i actually had a sentence in this post about how I re-read over and over and still miss the typos, and then while re-reading it over and over, I took it out... and yes you're a jerk, but you can't help it.
sonrisa- In the last few weeks I've learned that you're into chubby guys, you like blue eyes, and you think the pee pee dance from a grown man is cute! check, check, and check... where were you when I was in High School!
cad- now kelly bundy, she was a classic! and I wish I had your ability to just type and go!
I STILL do the pee-pee dance.
But I am 2 years younger than you, so maybe I'm still allowed. :-)
i do the pee pee dance. i don't mean to. and its something that i've actually caught myself doing recently. and i did ask myself why? why make yourself wait when you can just go? i'm working on it.
I thought the JFK movie by Oliver Stone is GREAT. Of course, i was a little kiddo when the movie was released, so it wasnt untill a few years ago that I watched it on TBS(lol). I think the scene where they show JFK being shot overs and overs again was like..DAMN. It almost makes you think that his theories were true. Personally, i think the CIA WAS involved. ahem..but, thats just um, personal unscientific opinion =D
unforgiving b*tch/chancla- I have been amazed to find out that so many other adults are out there doing the pee pee dance! maybe we should start like a "people who delay peeing to their own detriment" support group!
Normies- I was always in the "conspiracy" camp when it came to the JFK assassination... I remember when I was like 16 I bought a bunch of books and read through them convinced I would be able to figure it all out... but now that I think about it rationally, I just don't see how a government agency could pull off something like that and nobody would say anything all these years later... I mean, there is a government leak like everyday, so the amount of people needed to pull off a conspiracy that size, somebody would have told... idk, I also don't think that Oswald came up with an assassination plot all on his own, so who knows... I'm rambling now.
