Davey!



So the other night, I'm watching CollegeHumor when I should have been sleeping, and I happen upon an interesting thing. You see, CollegeHumor is a website that does scetch comedy, and they have this thing called the All Nighter in which they make videos over the course of one night, and they don't sleep. Anyway, I'm watching the All Nighter '09, and I get to the last video. And it is NOT scetch comedy. Before I get too upset, I read the caption: "We Did It! We were all too pooped to write another video, so for a finale we decided to join our co-worker, Davey, for an improvised dance blog."

Now let me tell you about this video. It's set in Union Square in New York City, and the whole thing shows a guy dancing. It was unlike anything I'd seen before; it was weird, and wacky, and aMAZing!!! I immediately went to daveydanceblog.com to watch more.

Moral of the story, Davey is wonderful. I love Davey. He chooses really good music and travels around the world to different famous monuments and does improvised dances. Sometimes there are other people, and sometimes he's alone, but always he's interesting. Here's the Union Square video:

The Hood


Allow me to introduce you all to a friend of mine. He's an amazing fellow with a big heart and a good cause (not to mention a dreamy smile). Ladies and gentlemen, although I think all but one of you are ladies, meet Robin Hood (played by Jonas Armstrong, far left).

Now this isn't your typical legendary hero. Nor is it the typical telling of such an epic and fascinating tale. This is the story of a young man who is struggling with losing everything he has and seeing the people he cares about hurt, as told by the BBC.

Please, friends. I implore you to watch this wonderful work of television. These are some of the best scenes from the first episode:
