Let’s lighten the mood up in here

This post is to get all 3 of you who read my blog up to speed with the goings on in between my drama filled life.


Firstly, and most importantly, I am a Rock Band GOD! We bought the game a little over a month ago and I rock the vocals. I’ve spent about 80 bucks on songs with The Who pack easily being my best purchase. I love singing all those songs. The worst purchase easily being David Bowie’s “Heroes”. As a quadriplegic with very little if any diaphragm control, this song kills me. I literally damn near passed out. I had to lay down in the middle of the song while singing it. I haven’t sang it since. Hate that fricken song.

Only other songs I don’t really enjoy singing is “Epic” by Faith No More and “Sabotage” by the Beastie Boys. Then there’s the songs…well song I can’t sing while anybody(Cody) is in the room cuz he laughs his ass off while I sing it which in effect causes me to laugh thus ruining any chance of a good score. It really is quite comical. Oh the song is Jukebox Hero by Foreigner.

Next up is some celebreality TV. I won’t bore you with details, but right now I’m watching I Love Money and The Two Coreys.

Watched some anime. In particular Captain Herlock(crap), and the first 3 discs of Noir. Herlock was garbage. No redeeming qualities. The jury is still out on Noir. It’s not bad, but the story is taking a loooong time to develop. But it’s interesting enough to keep me…well interested.

In almost anime news, the Avatar wrapped up, and it was sweet! The final fight between Zuko and Azula was fantabulous. Oh I said fantabulous. The music made it even better, epic even. And Azula’s quick descent into madness was great to watch. Very believable. Possibly the greatest character development in an animated series ever. Easily the greatest thing to come out of Nickelodeon.

In related news, I fear for the live action version being directed by M. Night Shyamalamdingdong. Apparently it’s gonna be a trilogy with each movie based on the 3 “books” of Avatar. I hope he(M. Night) can regain his touch from his first few movies. Most would say “what touch?”. Well I personally enjoyed Unbreakable and Signs. Since then, things have gone downhill fast for him.

In semi-related anime news…fuck Keanu Reaves…that is all.

This is already a big post, so I’ll finish it on my next post.

One last note. Thanks to all who sent their prayers, thoughts, and condolences. It really meant a lot. More than you’ll ever know. Again, thank you.

Entertainment Today

Current Mood:Tired emoticon Tired

Just some random musings on things I’ve watched, read, and plan to watch, read.

I’ll start with Thursday night on NBC. A nice return of the Office we all know and love. Michael’s odd form of crazy, Creed’s awesome one-liner’s…”Then I’ll have 2, only one more to go.” lol. The sweet relationship between PB&J. Just good stuff last night. My favorite line/moment of the night was Michael’s conversation with Oscar. When he called Oscar, “Oscar Meiner Wiener Lover” and referenced his homosexuality as “your condition” I was rollin’. And of course the end with PB&J was great, and love those little moments in the show.

Earl had one of it’s better shows of recent. Funny and touching. Really, really enjoyed this weeks episode.

Scrubs has yet to be watched, but it’s almost guaranteed funny.

Next up is movie time! First up is Transformers. I was a HUGE Transformers freak as a kid. My favorites being Soundwave, Starscream, and of course Optimus. So initially I was excited as hell when I heard there was a live action version coming out…then I saw the character designs and my excitement was gone. I loved it when Megatron would transform into a gun for one of the Decepticons to fire. Anyway, so I decided to boycott then new movie. I was sick of Hollywood raping my childhood with half-assed uninspired remakes of things I loved as kid. Then I suddenly had a munchkin(Tre’) to entertain and had just bought the HD-DVD add on for my 360. So I broke down and bought Transformers in HD-DVD. I figured it’d at least be pretty and you can’t go wrong with giant fuckin robots beating the shit out of each other. So I watched it, and was pleasantly surprised. It wasn’t a Transformers movie as I knew it, but it was a fun action movie. Not gonna lie, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Needed a little more robot on robot action, but what can you do.

Also watched Stardust. Originally a book written by one of my favorite writers Neil Gaiman. I had a longer post concerning this movie but something fucked up and I lost it, so in summation, I will be buying this movie in the near future. Great fantasy movie.

I read The Secret Garden for the first time in like 20 years. Great book…for tweens. Next up in the literature department is The Eternals by the aforementioned Neil Gaiman or Live Wire by Jay MacLarty, the third book in the awesome Simon Leonidovic series.

In more pressing matters, is the sudden relationship between anime and Hollywood. We’ve already got Speed Racer coming. And according to Attack of the Show, Steven Spielberg is doing a live action version of Ghost in the Shell, M. Night Shyamalamadingdong is doing Avatar, and in the biggest head scratcher is Leonardo Dicaprio producing and starring in Akira. Fuck you Hollywood! So little creativity, so many greedy suits. I do however have a small interest in a live action Avatar, though finding someone good enough to fill the title role will be a bitch. He’s so damn likeable in the series.

That is all.

No fricken’ dentist again. It’s really getting tiring. Now it’s been re-scheduled for November 29th. If my dentist wasn’t so awesome, I’d go somewhere closer. At least the Chiefs won’t reschedule me…though they might not show up…ooooh slam!

Halloween tomorrow and i don’t care. Tre’ doesn’t even seem that interested. Should have some pictures of him as avatar Aang tomorrow. Taytay’s gonna be a witch…it fits.

No movie today, but did watch Weeds and Chuck…both were…uninteresting. There’s alot of sex this year in Weeds. 1st season you could sympathize with the mom, but not so much this year. She’s basically just a drug dealing whore. Gonna watch Bottle Rocket tomorrow. It looks average at best. That is all.
