The title says it all. Today we look into my year end review, my state of the union address. Which union you ask? I could be talking about the dismal state that the world is in.. regardless of which country you reside in. But no, that would be political, but not political enough wouldn’t you say?
No, today we’re speaking of this union. Our union. Yours and mine. Its thriving, though you may not know it. Well guess what motherfucker? I’m here to explain all of that shit to you.
Well of course I am qualified to talk about us. Why wouldn’t I fucking be? I listen to you, I hear you, I feel you. I love you. Its true, I can’t hide my emotions anymore! I must scream to the world that you are mine and I am mine, and what’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine. I’m gonna take all that’s good from you and leave you a desolate lifeless shell bitch! We’re going to flourish together. You and me and me and you and since I am involved with all of that, I am obviously qualified to talk about it. Plus, I own your ass. I sell you all your bullshit lies you tell your friends. I’m sleeping with your sister. I need you as much as you need me.
But first, I’m gonna fucking bitch at you, so get ready.
Are you ready? Well too bad, because I am, twat!
Here we are and we just passed another anniversary date. That’s right, here at the critic we’re celebrating our 2nd anniversary. ONCE A FUCKING GAIN, you did not say congratulations, you did not say happy anniversary, you did not GET ME MY FUCKING CARD!! I’ve talked about this before. The importance of a card. It is vital. No one got me one. No one said a fucking thing. And you’ve broken my heart. Again. Just like last year. I’m going home to mothers.
So you know what? FUCK YOU. I got myself my own fucking card. I don’t need you anyways.
And its pretty. And it has roses.
Are you going? Damn right you are. I expected so much more.
Now that that’s done. That’s right hookers, the critic has officially turned two years old just a couple days ago. This is an amazing feat. Some of you are new to the critic, some of you have been here forever. And by forever, I mean before the critic.. when I blogged on gay ass myspace, or before that when I wrote about a daily journey into hell.. or even before that when I wrote a small, popular, yet very unpopular piece called “The Vato Bible” – yes, some of you have been here for a long time, and those of you are the ones who I love more than cheetos.
That’s a lie, I love cheetos most of all. But you’re a distant second place.
Moving on.
Since my run for the presidency is on, and in full swing, having won the nomination from the Truth Party, I figure it is high time I start preparing for the eventual need to give a State of the Union Address, and so I will start today, here, now, with you, and I will give my address, and it will usher us in to the new year. What a way to go out with a bang! Though I can think of another bang I’d rather have. Alas, I am a writer, and being a writer means you don’t know how to comb your hair or get a hair cut regularly. This sort of thing scares off the ladies, I’m afraid. Trust me. I know. To be a critic is to be alone. I carry a heavy weight, the world.. and all the truth that is in it depends on me. And so, I go it alone. Like Texas. NOW LETS FRY SOME MOTHERFUCKERS!
So as you pour into my reception hall, to listen to me tell you how wonderful and great of a job I’m doing, you might be thinking to yourself, fuck you critic, last year you published nearly twice as many blogs as you did this year. You would be right.. kinda. In 2010 this site here saw the publication of 28 blogs This year.. well this would be #15. Fuck you, that’s more than one a month, and you try coming up with as much bullshit truth to talk about as I do. Its not easy. I even went through a period of writers block. Then I discovered village inn. Life was suddenly better. This year also marked the launch of our facebook site, which I do my utmost best to promote here, as I do with the facebook site in promoting this site. Do you see how both sides of our government are working together here? This bipartisanship has never before been seen in government before. But like the wind I work change together. You really want change in the government? Hire a guy who doesn’t give a flying fuck about them. That’ll turn heads. So here we are, working together as one, making some fucking magic happen. Like magic markers, like sniffing white out. This shit just got epic. How epic? On the sister site there are many of shorter blogs. Critiques, Critical Analysis’ and of course the bitching, moaning, insulting, and all out crudeness you have come to expect from the critic. That is just what I fucking do. And I do it well, and I do it to you, for you, and I’d do it with you but.. well I don’t know where you’ve been. I’m just lying here again, I’m desperate.. I’d hit it.
So the shorter blogs which you find on the critic facebook should make up for the slack we’ve seen here, since they total 27 of them. That’s a pretty fair balance.
2011 saw a statistical rise in significance and importance.. and also recognition. On Facebook, they call you “fans” of a site, author, whatever. I don’t like to use that. No fucking way. I like to think of you as not my fan, but as my concubine. You’re my whore, I’m your john, and together we make sweet sweet love. And so, I do not refer to any of you as a fan, but I refer to you as a collective, and that collective I call:
Pretty fucking sweet huh? Yah, so now you all can tell your friends where you belong. And how many of you are there? Its good to know there are strength in numbers. We’re currently reaching out to over 4,000 people a month, over 50 countries, and 6 continents. If that’s not fucking cool to you, you might want to wake the fuck up and slap the shit out of yourself. Because the truth is, you’re a part of this motherfuckers, you are what fuels me and keeps me writing even when it feels like I’m working too hard at it and not getting paid for it. Fuck it. I don’t give a fuck. Because you complete me.
Even if you didn’t get me a fucking card. (it’s a dick move, I’m just sayin)
So that’s motherfucking 2011. A good year for some, a bad year for others, and for the rest of us, just another fucking day in the life. Moving forward into 2012, you might be wondering what you can expect to see and year from the critic. So lets talk about it for a brief moment. As with every year, you can expect a lot of truth. That’s what we produce in this factory of excellence. You can also count on having WHAT YOU NEED TO SURVIVE. In case you’ve forgotten, 2012 is the year of the mother fucking apocalypse so with the pending zombie attacks, I will be here to arm you with the truth, and by doing so, with each installment of the critic you read, you will have a tip to help you survive the zombie apocalypse. I will bring that tip to you from a source of absolute power, my personal bible which I carry everywhere. At all times. Just you wait and see.
You can expect more pissed off rants, you can expect more reading about television and movies and other shit that you NEED TO KNOW to help you live. As a critic, this is what I have to do. Its in my blood. It would be in my soul if I had one. And if I had one YOU WOULD BE MY FUCKING SOULMATE!
Finally, lets ditch all this boring political sounding shit, and brush on a topic I’ve wanted to hit for a while.
PAMELA FUCKIN ANDERSON!!!!!!!!
No wait, that’s not what I meant when I said there was something I wanted to hit. Well it is.. but its not. Yet it fucking is. Oh yes it is. Canada’s greatest export.
No I meant the movies. They are entertaining and they are fantastic. I love going to the movies for many reasons. First off, I get to shell out a fuck load of a lot of money for something that will only cost me a dollar at home to see in three months. At the movies I can’t pause them to go have a smoke, take a piss or to walk my dogs.
The movies when you think about it, pretty much suck. If you’re at a movie you’re really interested in, inevitably there is someone who is talking when you don’t want them to. But if you’re like me and you watched way too much Mystery Science Theatre 3000, then you’re ready to laugh at anything that comes on the screen, and you want the rest of the people around you to appreciate it the same way you do. Yet they don’t. They tell you to hush.. shh.. or straight up shut the fuck up. Once I was at the movies with a fellow who was talking, and the guy behind us leaned forward and said: If you don’t shut your fucking mouth, I’m going to stab the shit out of you.
That’s right, people in the land locked hell hole are violent motherfuckers. And mostly hicks. So they’d prolly do it. Assholes. So, needless to say, the 4 of us stood up and offered him an old school ass whipping in front of his wife and kid. He shut up afterwards and didn’t have another thing to say. Strange that. Ahh well, yet I digress. So there are motherfuckers who talk to much, sometimes its you sometimes its someone else. There is always that asshole who DOESN’T TURN OFF HIS FUCKING PHONE. That guy deserves to be hung. I mean really, if you want to talk on the phone, stay home and transform yourself into a 13 year old girl. They love the phone just like you, you pedophile fuck rag.
There’s the horrible popcorn, the coke that cost you’re the same as last months rent, and my favorite:
The crying child.
I don’t have kids, but if I did, I wouldn’t take them to a rated R movie where there will likely be tits, ass, fucking, swearing, fucking swearing, and violence. This is how you teach young children to grow up and become serial killers. Yet people do this. Often. Regularly. And the worst part is not the fact that I know someday in the future I’ll have to defend myself from this maniac, but more so that at some point this kid is going to cry, scream, and make me want to bash their head in with a shovel. Seriously, if you own children, do the rest of us a fucking favor and don’t bring them to the goddamn movie theatre. I had to sell my kidney to come see this subpar piece of shit that I’m regretting and wishing I’d bought a prostitute instead, but you’ve just made it worse by bringing your fucking kid. And I fucking hate you for it.
So lesson learned, wait for redbox, netflix, or some bastard to put that pirated shit on the interweb. Thanks again, Al Gore!
So lets wrap this up, shall we? Once again with this piece I’ve demonstrated why I’m better suited for the task of the president. The State of the Union address normally happens sometime in January so the president has time to get with this personalized awesome writers so he can tell you what a wonderful fucking job he’s doing, even though if he were actually doing a wonderful fucking job we’d already know it and not need him to tell us WHY he is good at his job. Fuck you sir, we know you’re a piece of shit. Every last one of you, because you have to remind us that you did something impressive, that is direct proof that you haven’t done a damn thing right. That’s why as we blast off into the new year, an election year at that, the critic is rocketing into his world wide coverage and dominance, armed with a Legion of Truth and a fine case of indigestion and he will bring this motherfucker to the ground.
So enjoy your last few days of the last good year on earth. Starting January 1 we prepare for the Zombie invasion. And unlike all other presidential candidates, I am here for you, arming you with what you’ll need to survive: knowledge. Now lets go get our drink on, maybe if you get drunk enough I can take advantage of you and we can blow the last of this shit hole year to smithereens together!
Happy New Year, motherfuckers!
