Holiday Stress Inoculation
We, at GoodTV.Vox, are buzzing along with our holiday preparations. Our winter holiday of choice is Christmas. Our tree is up, a good portion of our shopping is complete, and we're still in denial that Christmas is only a week away, so we're...you know...good.
Over the years, we have found it helps to regularly inoculate ourselves against what we think of as the grinchlies, no matter how well we seem to be chugging along. One of the best ways to do this is to actually enjoy ourselves. Radical, we know! Often, we try to find joy in the holiday preparations, themselves, but that's not always possible and when it's not, we'll take our laughs anywhere we can get them. Who knew we'd be getting them from Biff Tannen?
You remember Biff -- the bully in the Back to the Future films. He was brought to life by actor Thomas F. Wilson (sometimes credited as simply Tom Wilson), that big, hulking [and cute --She] actor who also played the gym teacher on Freaks and Geeks -- Coach Ben Fredricks, who ends up dating Bill's mom. Wilson's been in a lot of shows over the years, and does a lot of voice work, too. We've recognized his voice while watching SpongeBob SquarePants.
Apparently, Wilson also does stand-up comedy. Who knew? Not only does he do stand-up, he is pretty darned funny. Check him out, courtesy of the good people at YouTube:
Wilson's The Daughter Song is fast on its way to becoming He's all-time favorite song. And She laughed out loud at both it, and The Question:
It seems Mr. Wilson is quite the Renaissance man. In addition to his accomplishments as an actor, musician and comedian, he is a photographer and painter, as well. Visit his website: TomWilsonUSA.com. He's also on MySpace, too.
Got a funny video (or story, or whatever) to share? Comments are open.
Merry Christmas to you, if you celebrate. May all your days be full of love, any may you find Good TV when you want it, no matter what you celebrate (unless you celebrate something horrible -- if so, may you find only Veronica's Closet in perpetual re-runs, and may the reception be poor, the volume stuck on high, and may the TV power button be stuck in the "on" position).
