(T)GIF – Make Your Day Awesome

It’s Friday, Friday….gotta get down on Fri…

Ugh, nevermind. But ya, it’s Friday. It’s raining and thundering across southern California. Maybe you need some help to kick-start your day. If this doesn’t make you feel more awesome, then you’re dead inside.

(T)GIF – Major League Baseball’s First Half

Tonight, the second half of the Major League Baseball season kicks off following a four-day break for the All-Star game. To celebrate the return of baseball, here is my favorite gif from the first half of the season.

(T)GIF – SharkNado

The Internet lost its shit last night when the TV movie SharkNado aired on SyFy channel. I didn’t watch it. I didn’t know about it. And I’m not sure how others even knew there was a SyFy channel.

The gist:

When a freak hurricane swamps Los Angeles, thousands of sharks terrorize the waterlogged populace. And when the high-speed winds form tornadoes in the desert, nature’s deadliest killer rules water, land, and air.

To celebrate, I bring you today’s (T)GIF, courtesy of Gifulmination.

(T)GIF – The Twins

I really need to lock down (T)GIF as my own brand. Well, it starts today. It’s not a zany restaurant or Thank God It’s Friday. It’s an animated GIF day! And we kick it off with the twins.

Last night we watched the Angels beat the Cardinals in an awesome game. Josh Hamilton cranked a two-run homer in the ninth to tie it and Erick Aybar slapped his third hit of the game to left field for the walk-off win. Angel Stadium was electric. A few minutes later we watched an awesome fireworks shows.

These gifs are all from last night. I captured Ellie and her awful white person hand dancing. And her arm pit obsession.

These are after the game. My wife tried to snap some photos of them as we waited for the stadium to empty out. Goof ball alert.
