The TurboTax "Something" Shadow Man Kinda Gets On My Nerves

Taxes. Man’s most... taxing…. Invention.
And so, immediately, I have hit what we like to call the buzz kill. The killer of that high that you get in the anticipation or something great to come, or something already going strong. I didn’t even get the chance to get going strong. I just killed it before it could be born. How cruel. Well, now I can take that energy and use it elsewhere.
But that’s exactly what taxes are. They take away your coin so that it can be given away or used. Please, spare me. This is my young adult view. Peoples livelihoods are made off of the citizen’s tax dollars. This, I understand.
And, while at its core seems like a very easy process…
People like money. We need money in this world, whether you like it or not. We have got to get the most coin out of ut checks as possible. That’s where services like TurboTax come in. Turbo Tax is an income tax preparation software used to file taxes online.
File your taxes, get your tax refund (which is basically the government saying, oh, you gave us too much money, here, have some of it back because you bought or did x amount of things for x amount of reasons) and save yo’ money.
You don't need TurboTax to get file your taxes, obviously. It just makes it easier, more convenient if you will. In fact, anyone can use it. Even the monster that lives in your closet.
TrAnSiTiOn…

And speaking of the monster in your closet, here he is now.Or, well, rather the monster in Harry Potter’s room. Or is it a shadow? A shadow monster? We’re just gonna call him the “Something” man, as he sort or refers to himself as.Basically, in the moon-lit darkness of the night, he wobbles from under the little Potter comPOTment and makes his little remark about how easy it is to use the TurboTax mobile app to file your W-2, yadda yadda, and the light turns o- hey where the heck did he go.

The something man just disappears. I guess that makes sense because he's, well, a shadow. Rest in peace, my good man. Thank you for teaching me the ways of easy Uncle Sam Appeasement.


But wait, what’s this? A grandfather clock in the next shot? Well, that’s nice-uh what they HECK?


Alright, the something man walks out from next to the grandfather clock because I guess that he simply becomes the next largest shadow in his proximity. Alright cool. But he’s walking out from next to the clock and INTO the sunlight and -

THE SUNLIGHT?! I thought that all that happened was that the light in the room was turned:

  1. On. I mean you can just flick a switch and them BOOM SUNLIGHT DAYTIME AYYE WHAT’S UP!
  2. No. It doesn’t work like that.

To be fully honest with you, I’m not an expert on shadow monsters, so I’m gonna need all you necromancers out there to take this one.

Medieval Bud Light [Part 2] - Battle Pep Talk - Dilly Dilly Wait Where's Billy?

Last time on me “talking about a bunch of commercials that are crazy and super irrational," w e talked about one of the medieval themed But Light commercials. And now, we are going to talk about another. And by we, I mean we, and I’m very much loving the fact that this can be incredibly informal and that I can use contractions at the very beginning of a sentence and that I can use run-on sentences. Now that I’ve spent about 160 words on exposition, let’s get into the next medieval Bud Light commercial that I’m going to pick at. Let’s get on to the good old battles, MEDIEVAL MIGHT!!! Let’s see what all that “live action role playing on a saturday but it rolls over to sunday because freaking DALE didn’t want to just surrender so now you’re gonna be late for Nana’s good old macaroni pie” fuss is about shall we? “Battle Pep Talk” - Here we have the king of… a kingdom. I say “a” kingdom here of course because there is another kingdom on the other side of the field. A much b...

Scratching The Surface of YouTube's Flaws

YouTube Rewind, the most hip, cool compilation that the entire site has to offer. It celebrates the most viral and trending videos of the year; an insight to what people have been watching. A trip of nostalgia for the past year that really does bring you back to some great moments. But what about the bad ones? And are all of those good moments really the best, or does the fact that what they have highlighted compared to the gravity of what they missed in the YouTube year in summary bring on a cringe felt by millions. Here’s the thing: YouTube Rewind is simply a very long ad. It’s a 6 ½ minute video that is meant to be shown to the advertisers putting their ads on the site to show that the platform is a nice friendly place where millions of people can share their ideas with the entire world. And, though that may be true to an extent, YouTube has definitely had some very low points. YouTube may believe that they can brainwash Mr. Money with fidget spinners and slime, but w...

Critique: Execution of The Ghost Speech from Shakespeare's "Hamlet"

As the sole member of my review outlet, I take on the task to evaluate various film adaptations of the Ghost’s speech from Hamlet by Shakespeare (Act I, Scene V), I take said position of a critic. To you, the reader, I will present my point of view and give my opinion of which film adaptation of the famous scene was most well executed while comparing and contrasting the given examples. I write this review for the purpose of entertainment. We start with the oldest iteration. In the 1948 film adaptation of Hamlet , we can see a Wiseau-like form of production before even the birth of Wiseau himself. Directed by and starring Laurence Olivier as both Hamlet and the voice of the ghost, this adaptation provides a very slow-like pace. Here, the ghost is quite mysterious, as very little physical detail of him is shown other than a silhouette. Though in this form, the ghost provides little dramatic character with his face mystified and speaking with a very soft voice, flashback...
