Giving The Gift Of Links

Big Lebowski Action Figures!I am a giver.

I give my opinoin, wanted or not, my humor, funny or not, and my awesomeness, which is not in debate. I give myself to you dear readers, an every day act of selflessness; I open up my mindgrapes to offer you unfettered access into the bitchiest parts of my psyche. I give criticism to those who don’t need it or ask for it. I give snarky advice to those who will never hear it. I give my time to entertainment, asking in return only that it is not wasted. And I give hell when it is.

I am a giver.

I give money to the arts. I give creativity to a paying theater audience. I give kindness to celebrities in need (I’ll always have your back, Ro Do Jr.). I give Big Lebowski action figures to myself cause I’m awesome. I give hope to passionate projects that need blogger support. I give up when they make my TiVo bleed from their craptasticleness.

I am a giver.

I give love to my family and one love to my friends. I give my loyalty and respect to people who earn it, and guilt to those that piss me off. I give my eyes to the camera and my ears to the music. I give my nose to wine and my taste buds to jelly beans. And I give my junk to Claire Forlani, should she ever need it.

I am a giver, and today I give the gift of links.

As a post-Hanukkah, pre-Christmas, and present Chrismukkah present to those near and dear to me, I am posting links to projects and profiles about and for all the people in my life who happen to have ready made links to stuff on the internet. May it bring them much traffic and many fans, and may it give me a long list of people who owe me a favor. Cause you see, I may be a giver, but I am also skilled in nija art of taking. And I plan to yoink it up all through year long.

I am the givingest of givers, and here is my gift of links:

- If this blog ever died, I would murder Craig in his sleep and take his: HERE

- Jace is the reason I don’t write more about Television. He takes all the topics and kills them. Obviously, I hate him for this: HERE

- I found this kid off the streets of Isla Vista, brought him into the warmth of poorly funded student-run liberal arts rags, copy-edited him within an inch of his life and set him free into the wolf-infested woods of movie criticism with only a pocket knife and a copy of The Paper on DVD to protect him. Your welcome, Glenn: HERE

- Markus Flanagan is trying give this world One Less Bitter Actor (Seriously, BUY HIS BOOK!).

- Jessica Buttafuoco is fairly normal, considering her name. I know a LOT of fucked up Jessica’s. HERE

- Morgan Mead rocks the Clothespin (bonus points for casting me in one of his shorts and letting me work with Doug Jones. Fanboy squee!): HERE

- Audiebird wishes she were The Jay: HERE

- Stephanie Bentley knows when you’re bluffing.

- Jim taught me that Nobodykno.ws anything: HERE

Bangarang!

    Wow – first on your list of giving?!? I’m speechless, stunned, and flattered. It’s clearly an honor I don’t deserve.

    However, in honor of your generosity, I’m sending mad heterosexual love your way, and have a great holiday…

    Best,
    Craig
