Now here's something I think we'd all love to see the return of: Classic Nickelodeon!

"What's with restaurants that hang crap on the walls? Maybe the divorce rate is down in America because people aren't talking to each other at dinner, they're too busy looking at all the crap on the walls." - Norm from TheNorm.com

My choice for Superman, even though he's already playing Daredevil, was just chosen as the sexiest man alive for 2002. See I've been saying this for a while... I'm way ahead of the curve.

"I can't remember the last time I've enjoyed silence in an American theater. It's easy to believe that our audiences spend the day saying nothing, actually saving their voices for the moment the picture begins." - David Sedaris

I saw that new Harry Potter flick last weekend. It was pretty good, but I can't imagine ever letting kids see it. I don't think I'd be able to sit through it again, but if you saw the first one you might as well see this one because it's a lot better.

Where do YOU belong?

This cracked me up...

Visit James Kochalka's American Elf.

For those of you, like myself, who saw and enjoyed The Rules of Attraction, this is some news you may be glad to hear.

Angela said that the picture of me on the front page looked like Benicio del Toro. Did I spell that right? I honestly can't see it, but she's not the first person to say something about me looking like him under the right circumstances, so what do you think? If this is true I should probably be trying to talk to Sarah Galloway more since she has a thing for him.

For the record the guy this thing is saying I am is actually called Iron Fist, though he is often seen hanging about with Power Man. It's an honest mistake.

Yeah, you know what? If you ask me the scariest thing ever would be some kind of sea monster. Be it a water dinosaur or a leviathan or what have you, if it's in the water it's twice as scary.

Don't foget!! Tonight is the Hip Today free sneak preview of the new Bond flick, Die Another Day. If you want to go you have to get in touch with me as soon as possible!!

Important!: Hip Today is sponsoring a sneak preview of the new Bond flick "Die Another Day" on Wednesday evening. Ok, that's a bit of a mistruth because technically what really happened is I won a ton of free passes to the sneak preview from another, much, much larger website, and they are actually the one's who are sponsoring it. Anyway, the point is I've got enough of these tickets for just about everyone I know to be able to go, and I'd like to have a sort of Hip Today outing. So if you're interested in seeing a movie for free and before it's supposed to be out, and you're free Wednesday night you should find some way to get in touch with me. I don't care how. It can be by e-mail or phone or whatever, but let me know and I'll get it all put together.

I hope this isn't blasphemous, because it seems like a kinda cool idea. I could be very, very wrong though. Either way here comes the link... Ultimate Jesus.

Speaking of comics, everyone can finally know what those t-shirts I always wear are all about. Here's your chance to learn about the characters from which the shirts I'm known for are based on. Did that last sentence even make sense?

We haven't heard from Seanbaby in a while...
"You know how sometimes you get upset that the people policing your neighborhood are a bunch of fat donut critics who spend most of their time trying to trick you into speeding tickets? It could be worse. They could be Aquaman. Imagine being in a burning building, and the person sent to rescue you shows up in his underwear on a giant seahorse. Or worse, standing on two flying fish with leashes. But don't worry, while you're burning alive, your rescuer has the fantastic ability to TALK with those fish he's using as shoes. You might as well cover yourself in gasoline and try to get it over with quick."

Well, apparently the site has been acting weird today. Hopefully this issue will get taken care of before too long.

Speaking of fixing things with Hip Today, what can I change or add or take away from Hip Today to make you like it more, visit it more often, tell others about it, etc.? Any and all help in this area would be sincerely appreciated.

Here's some Butch Walker coolness. You should watch it.

Edward really enjoyed this, and I think all of you will as well. I shall call it "Strong Bad rips on fraternities."

Which DragonballZ Character are you

I guess I don't have much to say, or tell you about... Sorry. On the other hand though, I'm sure there are things you've missed from past days' updates, so you should scroll down and catch up on all of that stuff. Or even give the archives over there to your left a try. And while you're looking to your left why not give some of the other Hip Today sections a try? Today's comic is pretty funny, so you could check that out, or you could buy something from one of the stores, or any number of other things. Well, I'm off to class again.

I updated the gallery that showcases some of my silly little drawings. If you want to, like, you know.. like look at them.

If you'd like to get the next three issues of Ultimate Spider-Man for only $3 (I'm talking to you, Matt), you'd be wise to call (800) 217-9158.

Jeepers H. Creepers this is frightening!

That's Mike Myers as the Cat in the Hat... as though one raping of one of Dr. Seuss' classics wasn't enough. To find out more on this monstrosity click here.
Thing 1 and Thing 2 look pretty cool though.

Speaking of movies, that Treasure Planet movie looks beautiful.

While few of you that visit the page now will probably remember this, I still think it's hilarious. Fun times that summer that seems so long ago.. even though it was only a year ago.

This is so wrong. So very, very wrong. So very hilariously wrong.


Which Hellsing character are you?

I don't want to beg or anything, but if you've ever thought about getting something from one of the Hip Today Stores now is the time to do it, because I've just been informed by Cafepress that if the stores don't generate some kind of revenue here in the next couple of weeks they'll be shut down. I know some of you don't have the scratch to throw around on a shirt or a lunchbox or whatever, but I've got stickers in there for like 2 bucks. If you're not able to help I appreciate you listening and visiting the site as always, but if you can, please do. Thanks again.

I just wanted to say a quick little something about the new set of pictures from my birthday. I guess an apology is what I really wanted to make, because there were some people there who were a big part of the fun, and unfortunately I didn't get many or any pictures of some of them. It was just a situation where I was having too much fun and doing to many other things to be taking pictures as much as I would have liked to do. So I apologize to all of you if you went to look at the pictures and didn't see much of yourself. I'll try to do better next time.

This is going to be my new question when it comes to determining if a girl is a keeper or not.

Check out the new full trailer for Daredevil, starring our very own Ben Affleck. I'll be honest with you, the teaser trailer didn't really do much for me, but I held out the hope because I have faith in Benji, but after seeing this new trailer and the new poster I'm fully psyched for it. I will say though, that this trailer has some of the worst music choices I've ever heard. Shame on whomever is responsible. Shame I say. Shame.

For the WWE fans out there, check out this nice montage of some of the tracks from the new Anthology 3-disc set that's coming out Tuesday.

I've seen the Jackass flick three times now. None of the times have been from any kind of burning desire to see it, but I've enjoyed it all three times. I doubt I'll see it a fourth, but who knows. The soundtrack is totally kick-A though, and it even comes with a DVD and Andrew WK's video for "We Want Fun"... which I'm listening to right now. Anyway, here's an interview with Bam Margera and the CKY crew from the Village Voice.

"We want fun! And you better believe it! We want fun! And you know where to leave it! We want fun! No you don't understand you gotta Hey! (Hey!) Hey! (Hey!) Make your demands! We want fun! And you never can see it! We want fun! So you take it or leave it! We want fun and you might as well face it, we wanna have fun and we wanna get wasted!" - Andrew WK, "We Want Fun"

It's not the Halloween pictures I promised would be up soon, but there are new pictures. These are from my birthday and the party thrown for said birthday.

I JUST FOUND OUT ANDREW WK IS COMING TO MEMPHIS!!! IF ANYONE WANTS TO GO SEE HIM WITH ME LET ME KNOW AND QUICK LIKE! PARTY HARD!

It started snowing last night in my town on Animal Crossing!! I was so excited.

Want to see a picture of my little brothers on Halloween? I know there are like two of you who might want to see it so I thought I'd put it up here where you could click on it.

I ended up seeing the Jackass flick a second time this weekend. It was still worth every penny.

The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys and the complete Sports Night DVDs come out Tuesday. I'm not saying anyone should spend money they don't have, but if you've got some scratch to spare these are two things I couldn't any more highly recommend.

There's just no getting around it, Pinkerton is one of the best albums ever.

The G.I. Joe cartoons of my youth (and probably yours) returns to Cartoon Network this Monday night! I'm not sure exactly what time the show will be on, but somewhere between 11pm and 1am would be a good bet. UPDATE: It's on at 11:30 PM Central time.

I'm either very excited or very frightened at the possibilities, but there is going to be a MIGHTY MOUSE movie. For those of you that don't know me, Mighty Mouse is almost as near and dear to me as Superman, so I'll be hoping against hope for good things.

I saw the Jackass flick the other night. It was funny the whole way through, and that's worth my 200 dollars or whatever it costs to go to the movies these days.

Does the new intro page seem pretentious or stupid or anything to any of you? It's of me on Halloween, and I thought it was a pretty cool picture. I swear to God I'd love some kind of feedback on this.
Thanks go to Adam for taking this and other pictures.
Thanks also go to Melissa for completing my Nuno costume by making me that Mourning Widows thing for my arm.

"..I fantasize about my death, I'll kill myself from holdin' my breath..

It's called Mario Twins. Yeah, you want to go to the site for it, idiot. For those of you that were interested in knowing more about the people responsible for the Mario Twins thing, this is a good start. Or if you just want to watch the new longer version of the Mario Twins you can do that too.

Girls are evil and here's the proof. You can't argue with math people.

"When a band starts out, it’s one thing, and then when you start making money it’s a completely different matter. People actually believe they are important just because they made all this money. I was really glad to know that I was still as miserable as I was before I made any money." - Nuno Bettencourt

Requiem for the Nintendo 64.

So how was everyone's Halloween? Hopefully all you kids had a lot more fun than I did. Nevertheless, there will be pictures up soon. Did anyone do anything fun? Though I can often be heard proclaiming that I "want fun", unfortunately last night fun seemed to avoid me like I was the carrier of some kind of fun-killing virus.

The band name is still up in the air. You should help.

"Time can move fast now that you're gone, Can't dwell in the past, what's done is done, Startin' over again, more or less, In my pursuit of happiness, Startin' over again, more or less, in my pursuit of happiness" - Nuno, "Pursuit of Happiness"

Happy Halloween everybody! I've done a little Halloween drawing of a vampire. Look at it before it destroys you.

"Yes, playing is for pleasure. We should have a pool. Make us one from the sky, I command it! Seriously, I do command it." - Master Shake from Aqua Teen Hunger Force

My latest self portrait. You'll notice my head is enormous... just like in real life.

Andrew WK will be performing on an episode of Live from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on either MTV or MTV2 tonight. I'll let you know the exact specifics as soon as I find out.
