[TOMT] [Movie] Man would carve "I was here" on surfaces.

Sorry if title is unhelpful, I really didn't know what to put there. So basically I'm looking for a film I saw once sometime between 2008-2012 that for some reason has stuck with me all these years later.

So basically the film follows a man that lives in LA that has some sort of disease. He knew about it from a young age and that he only had so long to live, so started writing "I was here" on surfaces to leave his mark on the world or something like that. One of these places was under a bridge on the LA river near his home. Towards the end of the film there's some sort of breakthrough with his health and he's no longer dying. So he goes back to the place under the bridge and crosses out the "was" and replaces it with "am" to read "I am here."

That's pretty much everything I remember from the plot. I've been searching for this movie off and on for the last few years, but haven't had any luck so far. Would appreciate the help in finding it!

[TOMT] [SONG] Male artist, chorus has word "fifteen" repeated, sad song

I try searching but only taylor swift's fifteen shows up. I know the tune in my head but can't remember other lyrics. It's an old song. Probably 2000s?? Chorus starts with high note poignant "fifteen".

[TOMT] [SHOW] What episode of Electric Company has Morgan Freeman in a western saloon wearing all black?

All I remember is that he comes in and insults someone inside and then they tell him to repeat what he says while smiling

[TOMT][TV SHOW] Two aliens/monsters living in a void space constantly fighting

After scouring the internet for this with no luck I need some help. I know this show 100% existed. For context I'm Australian, and this aired in the 2000s when I was a kid. I remeber it being a tv short about two aliens or maybe they were monsters. Every episode they'd be fighting over something small like a can of fizzy drink and it would end with one of them blowing up the other or some other goofy cartooney death. It was cgi, they never actually spoke. But they did grunt and growl at each other. I'm sure one of them were purple and the other green, and I distinctly remeber they had big long noses with big nostrils at the very end of their noses. Every episode had the same setting, a blank flat exspanse and the only thing different every episode would be props for the plot. Like a frige or a table and chairs.

[TOMT] A video game I used to play on the computer, top-down view, go around saving little characters

First off, I wanna say that my memory of this is so clouded that I’m not sure if it’s even real at this point lmao and I want to thank whoever tries to help. There was this game I played on the computer, almost certain it was one of those free / made for fun browser games. However it could have also been a real game for the PC. In any case, given that I played it on PC idk if it’s on other platforms, and if it is in fact a browser game then that locks it to PC. The gameplay was 2d but from a birds eye view, looking top to down. I was born 2004 and I played the game when I was young so the time span of the game was somewhere in the 2000s, maybe a few years into the 2010s

You control this one character and go around saving these little characters that I forgot the name of, I think they were called something like “minks” and I’m not talking about the animal. But don’t get too caught up on the name because that’s the one thing I’m unsure of. Anyways, you save them and I’m pretty sure that’s how you move on to the next area. There were puzzles in order to reach them. I vividly remember one cave level with water where you have to go around and find them. The characters and general art style are also light hearted and “cartoony” for lack of a better word.

I know that I said I’m not sure if the game exists, but that’s because I can’t find it. I have vivid memories of this game and it bugs me so much that I don’t know what it’s called. Thanks to anyone who even took the time to read this

[TOMT][phrase] phrase you say when you want to have help a little longer

For example - if you’re sick, but getting better - the phrase is something like “let me roll in it longer” or “I want to drag it out more”. Not those words exactly but that meaning. Help! Been trying to figure it out for days, just can’t seem to remember
