2012 is Over

And so it is the last day of 2012. The world didn't end like the Mayans predicted, which is mostly a good thing. If the world had ended, I wouldn't be forced to hear about those freaking Kardashians anymore. But that's me, I put Armageddon on the same level of catastrophe as the Kardashians. Always looking at the bigger picture.

This year, much like any other, had its ups and downs. The difference about 2012 and all those other years is.... I have a blog now, and people actually read what I write. I know. I am as shocked as you are, Mom.

So for all of you who are sitting behind your desk, bored out of your mind, because you were forced to work today (and the two adventurous people reading this while they're on the toilet), I give you my 2012 year in review blog.  Hopefully this will make a little bit of your time go faster . . . especially for the Bathroom Duo.

TOPHER HUCKABY'S 2012:

TOP 10 MOVIES:
10.) Magic Mike - I know its a movie about male strippers. But its a GOOD movie about male strippers. Think Showgirls, but with less nudity, more men, better actors, and a plot. (Even as I was typing it, I knew I just lost my male readers at less nudity.)

9.) The Hunger Games - Although the books were better, this movie was everything I wanted it to be and more. Jennifer Lawrence, I want to be your friend. Did I mention I know how to use a bow?

8.) The Cabin in the Woods - Not your typical horror flick. My homeboy Joss Whedon brings the satire with his sarcastic wit in this retelling of a classic horror story. I loved this movie so much, I saw it 4 times in the theatre. Twice opening weekend.

7.) Wreck-it Ralph - How could I not love a movie about video games? Cute and funny, this movie stole my heart. Plus I have gotten hours of amusement going up to people and using Ralph's tag line of "I'm gonna wreck it!" Try it some time. The looks people give you are priceless. Especially if you don't know them.

6.) The Dark Knight Rises - Talk all the shit you want about Robin and a weak plot, but I loved this movie and it was a great ending to a fantastic series. Although, it was a little hard to understand Bane.

5.) The Hobbit - Yeah it was a little long, but it felt like no time had lapsed at all from The Return of the King.

4.) Lincoln - If this movie doesn't get an Oscar, there is no justice in the world.

3.) The Avengers - I told you John. Once they tapped Joss Whedon for the director, I knew this movie would be HUGE. And you were all "Poo poo, Joss isn't a big enough director, poo poo." I will be sending your humble pie to your new address. Tell me how it tastes.

2.) Les Miserables - One of my top 3 favorite musicals of all time finally brought to life on the silver screen. It was utterly amazing. Jason cried. SHOCKER.

1.) Skyfall - When I heard that Sam Mendes was directing this film, I said "It may not be the best Bond film, but it will be the most beautiful one." I stand corrected. I think it is the best Bond film as well.

WORST MOVIES:
5.) Battleship - Aliens attack Hawaii . . . base movie off of Hasbro board game. Lame. Romney probably saw this movie and went "This is why America needs more Battleships."

4.) The Raven - I wanted so much from this film . . . but alas . . . it was so lame. For all you Poe fans out there, please pass this movie by. You will be thankful you did.

3.) Step-up Revolution - I don't think I have to dignify this with a response.

2.) The Devil Inside - Woman is possessed by MANY demons. Demons jump bodies to the other characters in the movie. Demon possessed character swerves into on coming traffic, killing the people still alive. Movie ends with; "The facts surrounding the Rossi case remain unresolved. For more information visit www.TheRossiFiles.com" 2 hours for a freaking advertisement for a website. Double lame.

1.) Piranha 3DD - Even a one legged Ving Rhames couldn't save this movie.

TOP 10 SONGS:
10.) Rumour Has It/Someone Like You by The Glee Cast - Say what you want, but this is awesome

9.) Somebody That I Used to Know by Gotye - Yeah I know its played out. But you know you loved this song at one point too. But I do admit, I like this version better.

8.) Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen - Speaking of played out.

7.) Too Close by Alex Clare - This song is amazing. They even had my favorite girl from the Voice perform this.

6.) We Are Young by fun. - If you don't know this song, you need to change your address from that rock you're living under.

5.) Castle of Glass by Linkin Park - I love a Linkin Park song? Shock me Shock me Shock me with that deviant behavior. 

4.) Let's Have a Kiki by Scissor Sisters - The first time you hear this song, you will look at me like I'm crazy. But I bet within a week, it will be trapped in your head. Watch the video and prove me wrong:

3.) Black Sheep by Gin Wigmore - The song that came out of nowhere. It's now on the Guinness Black Lager commercials. Its like they know me.

2.) Shake It Out by Florence + The Machine - I had to give a shout out to my girl.
1.) Some Nights by fun.- Love this song.

WORST SONGS:
5.) Gangnam Style by Psy - I don't know whats worse, the song or the video.

4.) Sorry for Party Rocking by LMFAO - I hated Sexy and I Know It, but this crappy song takes the cake.

3.) Don't Judge Me by Chris Brown -  I will never stop judging Chris Brown. Screw you song.

2.) We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together by Taylor Swift - When she released Mean, I thought I was going to have to take back all the horrible things I said about her being a terrible song writer. Then she put this song out there. Thanks for saving me the time of writing a retraction blog Taylor.

1.) Love Song by Selena Gomez - It's not that this song is bad. It's that it's SO bad, it makes me want to stick my finger through my eye, into my brain, and swirl it around.

TOP 10 THINGS THAT HAPPENED THIS YEAR:
10.) Obama won. The fall out of this on Facebook was hilarious. Go back to all your friends that were being dramatic about the outcome of this election and ask them how they're doing now that its 2 months in.

9.) My Mom's Visit. First time in 6 years my mom has been to California. We had a blast.

8.) Cruise to Alaska. You read the blog. It was a pretty awesome trip.

7.) Drag Birthday. Everyone that participated, I say thank you. Next year won't have such a crazy theme. And remember, you had fun at this one.

6.) Comic Con. Can't wait for next year. It's going to be legend-wait for it

5.) Quit the OG. Although I miss my co-workers/friends (past and present), I do not miss flinging pasta. Best decision of the year.

4.) New Friends. To Lindsay and Greg, what would I do without you crazy kids.

 3.) Seeing the Book of Mormon. A musical with my Bestie. What an awesome experience

2.) My iPad. I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I . . . sorry. I lost myself there for a moment.

1.) This blog. Thank you to all my readers for making my blog what it is. I would have stopped writing this months ago if it wasn't for all my readers cheering me on. Your support means more to me then my iPad . . . okay maybe not as much as my iPad . . . can we call it a tie?
