Trying To Stay Day-to-Day Has Its Challenges...

There are hundreds of excuses as to why I haven't been able to keep up my pledge to post daily here at One Day In Culture. I could say it's because I'm lazy, but that honestly seems like the cowardly way out...because...as all who know me know...I'm not the lazy type. I could blame it on women, which would be an excuse to write home and tell my Dad about...but things have been pretty slow in that neck of the woods and would ultimately be a lie.

Music? Nope. The recording industry has been complete shit for the past few months. When Maxwell is the best thing that comes out in a given week you know the music business is having itself quite a dry spell. (To Maxwell: No offense. But R&B just ain't what it used to be.)

Books? Nahhh...I dropped out of Book Club months ago and school doesn't start till August.
Sports? Well I did go to a baseball game on the 4th...
Movies? Not unless you count going to see Ice Age 2 in 3D as a movie, which you shouldn't.

No, I believe I can blame only one person for the recent lack in my productivity — Jimmy Fallon.

Damn you Jimmy Fallon with your blend of quirk-dry humor and impeccable hairline. You've made late night television a fun place to be again. Slow-jamming the news with a genius idea for a house band — The Roots. Playing "Lick it for Ten" where you've had everyone from Drew Barrymore to random audience members lick something completely random for $10. Every band you have on the show, Jimmy, sounds like they're owed a Grammy...including Asher Roth, whose "Be By Myself" — backed by The Roots — was one of the best live performances I've ever seen on television. You're reality television show, "7th Floor West," is hilarious, as was Beer Pong with Betty White. And Kudos to you for having Anne Hathaway on your show to play guitar...even though she was awful, she was scorching hot doing it.

I stay awak at nights thinking about how much fun it would be to host your television show. Will Farrell doing skits with you, playing Wii Tiger Woods against the real Tiger Woods, having audience members come up to play Rush Limbaugh Kareoke....It's all just so unbelieveably brilliant, unpretentious and fun. And did I mention The Roots? It is way past the time in music history when the rest of the world was introduced to not only the best band in Hip-Hop, but perhaps all of music. Their performance of "I Got Over," was indescribeable. In case you missed it:



See Jimmy! See why I stay awake watching your show? See why I'm up until 1am every night regardless of two weeks of reruns and can't get up before 10am? I blame you Jimmy Fallon, for giving us all a reason to ditch sleep in an effort to belly laugh till dawn. I want your life Jimmy Fallon...and you're remarkable hairline.
