Does anyone remember that TV show that used to come on the Disney Channel called Kids Incorporated? I do. I remember that idiotic theme song.

So I was reading the Wikipedia article. I somehow ended up there after following a link to the Zack Morris Wikipedia page. Zach Morris. Don't ever forget Zach Morris, please.

Anyway, this show was on for like a really long time, around ten years, give or take one or two. I never knew this until now -- I guess I just quit watching it after I got a little older. I was probably around four or five years old when I watched this show.

Either way, I made two discoveries while reading the Wikipedia article, because despite the fact that I used to watch this all the time, I don't remember anything about this show except for the theme songs and a stage with kids on it. There's a really long cast list because they apparently rotated the cast members in and out the way they did on the Mickey Mouse club.

Fergie (Stacy Ferguson lol) was on Kids Incorporated from 1984 to 1989.



Lol it's so eighties, and that kid, that kid's not even playing the sax! FRAUDS.

Either way, I had no idea Fergie was on Kids Incorporated, though it doesn't surprise me. Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera are all Mickey Mouse Club veterans.

Jennifer Love-Hewitt was on this show too, by the way.



Augh, the eighties is so hard on the eyes. I'm pretty thankful I didn't spend a huge chunk of my childhood in the eighties, I'm afraid there would be a lot of pictures of me dressed in really embarrassing attire.

Also, a word of advice for everyone reading this:

If you haven't seen Star Trek, I think you better get off your behinds and go see it. I went to a midnight showing last Thursday. It was AMAZING.

We all know the Spice Girls, right? You know the Spice Girls. They were huge when I was in middle school. Maybe this sounds a little off, but I went to a private school when I was in sixth grade, and all the girls there had two obsessions: The Spice Girls and Leonardo DiCaprio. Most of the girls at this school were white kids, which would explain why The Spice Girls fell off my radar when my mom pulled me out and put me in a public school instead. I didn't really like The Spice Girls. I thought they sucked and were weird. Leonardo DiCaprio obsession, I could understand.

That obsession followed me into my freshman year of high school, which is when I was exposed to the Baz Luhrman version of Romeo + Juliet. Gooooooood movie.

But I'm getting off track here. The Spice Girls were huge, okay, a group of girls that represented everything great about being a girl -- we could be powerful, assertive and beautiful, and there was definitely nothing wrong with that. On the other hand, they couldn't sing, they couldn't dance, and their music generally wasn't that great.

But they had a good message. They hold the title of best-selling girl group of all time. A title I thought belonged to TLC, but maybe they only hold that title in America.

Their last single was called "Holler", which came out in 2000. I was a freshman in high school and thought the song was awesome. Listen to it now, the song still isn't that bad to me.

They eventually went their separate ways, though, which wasn't surprising, as that happens. This happened before "Holler", actually, though that song is still one of their last singles as group. I want to point out the best thing about their split, which happens to be this:



I bet hardly anyone remembers or even knows this existed :O

The first time I saw this was probably summer I turned thirteen. I used to watch BET and listen to the radio a lot back then -- that something I rarely do now unless there's a good movie on BET or I'm listening to the radio against my will. I remember my surprise when I first saw this and realized it was Melanie B. doing a collaboration with Missy Elliot, and I'm still kind of astonished now, because I remembered the song completely wrong.

The way I remember it, the best was heavier, the beats were slower, and the first lines of the song were "Boy, what did I do to you," not "Boy, I'm tired of you." In general, the way I remember it sounds a lot better, but idk.

DID YOU KNOW THAT. I BET YOU DIDN'T.

Let's talk about Seth Rogen. Seth Rogen, that lovable chubby guy with the scruffy beard, who basically plays the same character in generally every movie he appears in: Knocked Up, Pineapple Express, Superbad (AWESOME MOVIE), etc etc. Basically, he plays variations of the same character, really, like how some actors get type casted and end up playing one kind of character throughout their careers.

I didn't know much about him, really, except that I'd seen him in a few movies -- I didn't even know his name until after planning to sit down and write this. I wouldn't be writing about him if I hadn't discovered something that was personally exciting to me.

Let's also talk about Donnie Darko.

Donnie Darko is one of my favorite movies. I had to watch it four times before I understood it. I still don't quite understand it. But it has a great cast: Patrick Swayze, Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal (in a movie! Together!), Jena Malone, Drew Barrymore (Yay!).

It also has Seth Rgoen. Well, yeah, I didn't know it either until I watched it a few weeks ago and realized it was him. He unfortunately plays an idiot called Ricky in this movie, and one his of few lines are, "I like your boobs." Definitely got a few screws loose.

The thing that gets me is that he looks exactly the same.

Like he hasn't aged at all!

Amazing!

He is twenty-seven now and since Donnie Darko came out in 2001, he was probably around nineteen here. It's kind of crazy, since I thought he might be younger than twenty-seven.

Did you know that? Yeah, probably.
