Hello, everyone. As you all know (to the bitter heartbreak of us all), Betty White has passed away earlier today at the age of 99 - just 18 days shy of her 100th birthday. Personally, I'm shocked, stunned and saddened. She was one of my all-time favorites in the world of entertainment and her works are some of my all-time favorites in television history.

Andrew Addresses "Undergrads"
Hey, guy!
That's right, folks.
Welcome to my quick brief review of Undergrads.
This animated series on MTV focuses on four young men - Nitz, Rock, Cal and Gimpy - navigating through the ups and downs, highs and lows, climaxes and tribulations of their first year in college. Created by Pete Williams (whom also voices all of the fearsome foursome. No seriously, I mean hot damn), it aired for one season from April 22 to July 13, 2001.
I haven't gone to college (at least yet), but from watching the whole thing, I can take this series at it's word spinning the college experience (at least all of it aside from the academic facet [cause we don't see them in class]). Each episode features at least one facet or -- of college life as seen through the POV of the main characters. Frat life, alcohol, wild and crazy traditions, sex, roommates, money, work, making friends, finding yourself, piecing together your future - you name it, they've made a hilarious, borderline case-study on it.

The Funky Phantom | Andrew’s Funshine All-Star Superstar Supercade Saturday! ...Show '71
It’s the story… of Skip and Augie…
they're too busy charming this girl, but are duds.
They are all talk… little time for friendship ... how are they all good buds?
Then the one bad rainy day, they’re out past midnight…
They’re in a bando, no plans to just go home…
They changed a clock and freed a plasmic soldier...
That’s the way they then met the Funky Phantom
The lilywhite Phantom…
The ghastly Phantom…
Now they’re friends with the campy and dead even Funky Phantom!
(Doo-doo-de-doo Doo-doo-dee-duh-doo!)

Funday Friday: #60 - Thank You for Everything You Do: A Love Letter to the Healthcare Workers
Hi everyone, and welcome to the return of Funday Friday -- my segment where I share to you and discuss recent news stories that that'll make us smile and kick off the weekend on a positive note. And since last year was an extremely depressing and unwanted year, it's time I do my best to become an agent of smiles and cheers. And for this revival, I decided to write this op-ed as a thank you to the men and women of our healthcare and first response industry for all they've done throughout this pandemic.
Hi, folks.
I know words may not mean much. But I hope mine can .
When the COVID-19 pandemic began to ravage our country and the world, nobody knew what consequences we all would suffer during this time. What the symptoms were, how deadly this virus is, how up to capacity our hospitals, ICUs and elderly care centers would be; and how empty our cities and businesses would end up. But throughout, it did not matter. All that would matter to everyone was "how can we survive this?" And "what can we do?" And was not just us normal civilians, but also Essential workers.
To be honest, we've done the worst in the world. Our mostly idiotic government and pigheded and moronic state officials and citizens, who think it's just a type of flu that'll just go away after a while, have basically turned their backs on the regular folk while we are dying, starving, homeless or jobless (and for some, unfortunately all of those scenarios) and the rest of us are doing our damndest to stay alive. Honestly, I feel so sorry for all of you. You were just doing your jobs, and when it hit, you have to do them as if you're starring in the movie Contagion. (Amazing how that movie half-predicted this whole mess.) All those articles I've read over the past several months written about your heartwrenching position of risking your lives while treating patients on the brink and painful grievances of dealing with shameful people who refuse to take the pandemic seriously and not being able to contact your familes shook me to the core. I knew this pandemic would be horrible for everyone, but you all did not deserve any of this. I wish our government and fellow man were much more smarter and much less self-serving in this pandemic, so that you guys didn't have to work through all this.
But I just want to take the time to say Thank You. Thank You All for all you have done to help this country fight the Coronavirus crisis in any way we could. Your strength, determination and endurance throughout 2020 under the most damning and devastating pandemic since the Flu of 1918 is both incredible and inspiring. You guys deserve all the praise, love, support, respect and gifts you have been given throughout last year, because without first responders and healthcare workers, most of the U.S. population would've been eradicated before the virus would have been. Now that we're in 2021, and the COVID vaccine is now distributed nationwide, things are hopefully slowing down. You guys (along with the elderly) got the first vaccines, and you deserve them and so much more. It may be another while longer before the Coronavirus is fully (or honestly, mostly) eradicated , but thanks to the hard work and life-saving efforts of our healthcare workers and first responders (along with the scientists who created the vaccine on impressive but short notice) we'll get there soon enough. God bless you guys.
