Why I named my #son Tucker

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @JenSquard

I have only known a few Tuckers in my life.  The first was my high school best friend's little brother, and the other was one of my favorite people ever.  My friend's brother was a funny little squirt - quirky, sweet, and compassionate, even as a tiny kid.  I loved watching him grow up - he always said the awesomest things, and I will always have a soft spot for him.

The other Tucker is just the best - as he has shown.  Yep, Big Tucker is none other than TNTML's own @TGumb (Coordin8d Drunk).  Tucker has been awesome since the day we met in high school.  He was a typical boy, but he was also super sweet.  We had so much fun together, from golfing class (yeah, it's a real thing apparently) to the dance we went to together (we looked hot as hell, pictures will come soon).  And even though there was tons of chemistry between us, Tucker never pressured me into a relationship, which makes our relationship today totally possible and amazing.  He has always been kind, slow to judge, hilarious and beyond fun.  I know he would do just about anything for me (last time we went out he order a drink for me saying "A long island iced tea for the lady, please"), but will also never bend from who he is.  He is everything I would want in a friend, a brother and a son (didn't know this was going to turn into a love letter to one of my besties, but I'll roll with it). When I chose the name, people said "but don't you know what the rhymes with?"  I totally didn't!  I never once thought about that!  I was in high shcool with a Tucker, and never thought about it.  So I guess if you don't act like a fucker people won't associate it, huh?

When we found out we were having a boy, the only named I wanted or even considered was Tucker.  I know a name doesn't make a person, but it really kind of does.  And I was right on with it - My Tucker is sweet, caring, loves his little sister more than anything, and melts your heart with his crooked smile.  And apparently Tucker means food in Australia, which is fitting since he is a tank of a child.  Literally, he was 10 1/2 pounds a birth.  Even though he is only 2, I know that have the perfect name will help him on the right path of being a great guy.

My Very First #SpiritHood

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @Tgumb

After what is going down as the best Halloween ever, I was invited to become a member of a Spirit Hood tribe. (it's LA- this shit just happens) That may sound rather cultish but if it is I will be the one double fisting the purple Kool-Aid. Seriously, who does not want to hang out with these rockstars? They even made their own Wings and can be found here.http://www.facebook.com/flyingwillow (Like it)

So once I decided to take the plunge and get a Spirit Hood I had to decide which one to get. They are all awesome, but reading the descriptions really narrowed it down for me. I was either a Husky or a Leapord.

The Husky spirit embodies spiritual well -being, resilience, and the ability to survive and guide others. This animal spirit works well with others and has great endurance in extreme circumstances. They are athletic, embodied, and have great physical strength. The Husky has immense determination and faith on a quest. They are hopeful and can survive in harsh environments. Their family bonds are strong, and they are extremely loyal to their pack.

The Leopard Spirit is able to blend in to many different circumstances with ease. People with this spirit find comfort in many different social situations yet also appreciate being alone. Often territorial and protective the Leopard naturally commands respect, without needing to demand it.

After I tried them on the decision was clear. I am a Husky. I love and take care of my friends so the description fit pretty well. The ironic thing was Snoop Dogg became a Husky the same day I did. That Snoop Dogg and I might as well be brothers.

My first adventure with the Tribe is Thursday night. We are going to see the Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros on the Jimmy Kimmel show! So freaking stoked! Look for me, I'll be the dude with the animal on his head. (one of them!)

Freaking #gross

Looky, looky who has a fancy new TNTML login. Get excited!

So yesterday I was driving to go see a concert with a good friend of mine. We were almost to our destination when this horrible smell entered the car. It smelled like a combination of  sour milk and sweaty asshole. It was so bad I almost gagged. He asked what that smell was and neither of us had any idea. We rolled down the window and it smelled fine so we knew the smell came from within. He then reached behind his shoulder and was like “Ohh shit, I noticed this big bump on my shoulder this morning- it just popped!” I almost died laughing.  We had to ride the rest of the way with the windows down. I also had to buy a fancy new air freshener for my car.

Here is a little video that will illustrate just how bad a back zit can smell. Beware- it's disgusting city!

#Jackass 3D

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @Coordin8dDrunk

Jackass. Jackass. Jackass. Ohh how I love me some Jackass. I hope everyone is excited for Jackass 3D because I sure am. Jackass Number 2 caused a whole paradigm shift for how I looked at Jackass. When it was just the show I thought it was pretty good but that there was only a funny bit or two per episode. When their first movie came out I didn’t even go see it because I heard it wasn’t very good. But Jackass Number Two.…… epicnesswin is all I can say. 

If you are new to Jackass the crew is divided into three groups. The first group consists of people that are legitimately crazy and do all of the show because they just love pain and making people laugh. Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O and Chris Pontonius fall into the first group. They will do anything at anytime without hesitation, and are usually the guys trying to talk other people into doing the stunt with them. I am pretty sure these guys would do this stuff for free because crazy is their biggest talent and there are only so many ways to use it.

The second group is made up of people who love the attention and money but sometimes hate everything about Jackass. Bam Margera, Ryan Dunn and Wee Man fall into this group. Wee Man really would be in group 1.5 but that is not an actual group. This group of guys love being on the sideline drinking beer or doing the embarrassing stunts but when it comes to doing the crazy shit are not happy with life at all. I am going to guess the Bam Margera will cry at least 3 times in the new movie- it’s kind of his thing.

The third and final group consists of Dave England, Ehren McGhehey and Preston Lacy. These guys hate everything about Jackass but the money is just too good to pass up. You can see the fear and despair in Dave England’s eyes every time he is about to do a stunt. I actually love watching his stuff because his hate of Jackass makes everything he does even funnier.

Jackass 3D hit’s the big screen tonight so go check it out. Or you can wait for my review before you decide to go or not. In the meantime you can stream Jackass 2.5 on Netflix and get all warmed up in preparation of what I can only hope is incredible.
