The Blogger Burnout

Image
Head over to MC’s Blog and read his post about Blogger Burnout . I think generally many bloggers come to that point in their blogging career. Sadly, I’ve watched many very good blogs die over the two-three years I’ve been blogging with Many of them being good friends of mine. With good writers, I always hate to see a blog die. I believe sometimes we put too much into our writing, and there are times when you need a break. I’ve watched my humble blog transform into a humble blog that pisses people off with a few more readers. (Cheerleaders and the Chinese government, and Dr. Moody all hate me). I don’t have the readership the other bloggers have, but I’d like to say thank you to the few folks that read my mindless ramblings from time to time. I do believe every blog out there has a ‘Big Moment’, and that is when the Internet takes notice of something you’ve written. It is usually during that moment that your blog becomes more than a personal sounding board, and i...

Prison Break (Season 2) Part 1 of 2

Image
In a nutshell, season 2 is more focused and moves along with a brisk and compelling pace. Prison Break (Season 2) After the conclusion of season one, I didn’t know what to expect in season two. I found myself wonderfully surprised the direction they took the show. There were major shake ups even from the first episode in S2. They killed off a major character that had an important sub-plot in the first season, and the writers killed off this person ruthlessly too. I also have to say I liked that they started the season exactly where the first season left off. The entire season has the group of prisoners finally out of prison and on the run. They not only have the police after them, but also ‘The Company’. However, more importantly, a FBI agent Alexander Mahone, played wonderfully by William Fichtner, is on their trail. This guy alone is the reason to rent season 2. I can’t even begin to tell you how intelligent, yet unstable this character is. Plus, he is the gu...

The Valkyrie Trailer

The Valkyrie Trailer This Bryan Singer movie is looking pretty good I have to say. I wonder if how close to the actual historical events this movie will follow. I also glad someone is doing a movie about the plot behind the failed Hitler assassination attempt.

10 Things I love and Hate About 10 Things I hate About You.

10 Things I love and Hate About 10 Things I hate About You . Nope, I wasn’t forced into watching this chick movie by a female friend or anything. I just sat there and watched the stupid movie. I came to discover that it isn’t that bad, but not good. 1. Julia Stiles : Yes, I really think this girl is cute, not a bad actress considering that there are the far worst ones out there. When she’s not learning to save the last dance, she’s making lists about 10 things. 2. Julia Stiles doing a table dance: Yes, she gets in front of a party, while drunk, and dances to rap song. I would make another save the last dance joke, but I won’t. I could have had two hours of this. 3. Heath Ledger trying to play a high school student: This was just plain stupid, when he looked about 26 during this time. He was too old for the part. 4. Gabrielle Union playing a turncoat: She betrays her friend and attempts to date the jerk. I wasn’t a fan of her acting here. ...

Fun with videos

Fun with videos Fat dude gets owned by girlfriend's kiss : I like the fact he kisses his lady and then falls down chin first into the desk. His girlfriend doesn't seem to care that he just fell on his butt and is laughing at him. Stupid guy looses dirt cycle while transporting it : You know you're in trouble when the actual bike mounted to the car is in better condition than the car transporting it. That bike is ruined. I saw something like this happen to a lawnmower, with me nearly crashing into it. Or the time I was nearly killed by a couch on the highway. Don't drink and ride a bike : Priceless, I love the late reaction from the people around him. Older woman stuck in a Trench : No one knows why, but it is pretty funny. How did she get in there anyway? Is there a soldier underneath her? Plus, her friends are making fun her as she wiggles around in the trench.

Marvel/DC: After Hours #7

Marvel/DC After Hours Part one http://youtube.com/watch?v=ekuznjH0JLI Part two http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSsWVwFpNzs&NR=1 These are so well-written stories. I just love the comparisons between the two comic book universe. I also liked that Superman and Batman change into their Super Friends versions. For some reason, both universes start to turn into Image Comic books.

20 balloons

Image
Balloons rule I drove up a ramp on one of the Highways that led toward the East End of Louisville. I was in the last right lane and then switched to the middle lane to pass some slower cars. In the distance, I noticed something bobbing up and down among the traffic. As I drew closer in my car, I discovered it was a large bundle of party balloons. There had to be at least 20 of them tied together. With every car that passed by, the balloons would go flying into the air and then back down to the highway level. As I passed the balloons, I quickly looked back in my mirror and watched as they went upward and back down. Except this time a rundown old car with a messed up bumper drove in front of them. Somehow, the balloons got caught in the car’s bumper and stayed there while he was going 60 mph. I never laughed so hard. Here was this rundown car driving down the highway with a bunch of colorful balloons stuck to it. It almost looked like a clown car somehow got lost...

Moody to the end

Image
Dr. Moody is pissed Someone was having a bad day that got even worst. Dr. Moody got pissed off when some guy blocked the driveway to a parking area. He actually goes up to the guy’s car and shoves him out of the way and gets in the guy’s car. First of all, it would be at this point that I would have thrown him out of my car. Plus, no one is shoving me that way. (Moody shoves the guy multiple times, and the guy does nothing.) Moody then shifts his anger to the cameraman filming it. From there, he proceeds to shove the wimpy guy’s sister to the street. That’s when wimpy guy finally stands up for himself and his sister. At first, I was trying to figure why the Moody was all pissed off, and then I realized that he is in the business of Dentistry. And, we all know dentists enjoy giving us pain. I am guessing he wanted to cause a bit some outside the office. Here's the news video to the video clip . (BTW, these are some of the lamest newscasters ever see...
