Sin City

Do your eyes a favor and rush out and buy a copy of Sin City. Anything less would be a... alright, I almost got cheesy there. Just get it. You'll thank me for it.

Fahrenheit 9/11

fahrenheit9-11.jpg

Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 is out on DVD today. Buy it, watch it, show it to all your friends and family. This is a movie that anyone planning to vote in the upcoming election needs to see. Hell, it should be viewed by anyone that believes in America. It's time to take our country back!

Music Worth Listening To

Dance of Death

Iron Maiden - Dance of Death

Wow! I was surprised with how great this CD is. It feels just like old style Maiden. It's a must have for any Maiden fan, and it's also a great place to start for anyone not familiar with the band.

Results May Vary

Limp Bizkit - Results May Vary

What can I say? It's Limp Bizkit. You either love them or hate them.

Fresh Coat Of Paint

I stumbled upon OverClocked Remix while looking for info on an old video game. It contains a ton of quality video game music remixes.

So far, my favorite Remix would have to be "PanicoftheUndead" from the SNES game, Zombies Ate My Neighbors. It just seems like an upbeat, happy little tune to put a smile on your face.

MSN Messenger 6

MSN 6

Damn. Never thought I'd be doing this, Microsoft hater that I am, but I have to give major props to MSN Messenger 6. It's just too cool. Never thought I'd see the day that an instant messenger -- one by the "big boys," at least -- would come along that allowed you to make your own graphic emoticons. This has to be the greatest feature ever. I have already caused so much shit with it.

All I'm admitting is that I've made a few body parts. I refuse to go into specifics, so don't ask. ;)

Another great feature is the customizable backgrounds. You can make practically any picture the background of your message window. It works best if the picture is 400 x 600 pixels, though. And as easy as a click of the mouse, you can share your backgrounds with your friends.

The last new feature I'll be mentioning, and there's a ton I haven't mentioned because I haven't used them yet, is the display pictures. Sure they're basically a rip-off of AIM's buddy icons, but they're four times the size. [For those of you who have a hard time with math, twice the width times twice the height equals four times the area.] Buddy icon - 48 x 48 pixels, display picture - 96 x 96. Not hard to see which will be easier to cause trouble with.

Just bear in mind that it is still in beta stage. But if you're still willing to have this wonderful new toy before everyone else, you can download it here.

Happy chatting.

Book Of The Day (or whatever)


I have a confession to make. I love the Harry Potter books. I was one of the millions of fans that couldn't wait to get their hands on Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. You might be saying to yourself, "But aren't you a bit old for a child's book?" HA! Kiss my wide, white butt. Harry Potter appeals to all ages. If you haven't read any of the Potter books, what the hell are you waiting for? Get your ass to amazon.com now! Why the hell am wasting time writing this instead of reading?

P.S. I read that J. K. Rowling is estimated to be worth more than the Queen of England. I f**king love this! Not bad for someone who was on welfare 10 years ago, eh?

"Weird Al's" Poodle Hat

weirdal.jpgI have much love for the new CD by "Weird Al" Yankovic. It contains parodies of songs by Eminem, Nelly, Avril Lavigne, Billy Joel, and the Backstreet Boys; some original songs; and one of his trademark polka medleys. My favorite parody on the cd is "Ode To A Superhero." It's a send up of Billy Joel's "Piano Man" with lyrics based on the Spider-Man movie. The best original song, in my opinion, is "Bob," a song that mimics the style of Bob Dylan, consisting completely of palindromes. (A palindrome is a word or phrase that reads the same forwards or backwards.)

In such a dire time, it's nice to be able to laugh. Thanks Al. :)

Book Of The Day

backtheattack

What happens when the government pisses off an ex-Army Ranger cartoon/comicbook writer? If that person happens to be Micah Ian Wright, you get some very edgy remixed war propaganda. This book, with a forward by Kurt Vonnegut and introduction by Howard Zinn, is a selection of 40 of his growing collection of remixed posters, each with commentary from The Center For Constitutional Rights.

Wish I Was There

On Friday, February 28, KISS played a one time show in Melbourne, Australia with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, with MSO decked out in full KISS makeup. While originals Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, and Peter Criss were present, Ace Frehley, who did not want to participate, was replaced by Tommy Thayer. The concert will be on Pay-Per-View and will be released on DVD and hopefully CD. The concert has gotten very good reviews and I can't wait to see it. I just wish I could have been there in person. Sigh.

Oh My God!

Have you heard about the new rollercoaster, Top Thrill Dragster, at Cedar Point? Holy crap, it's a monster!

It's he world's first rollercoaster to break the 400 foot barrier. I knew Cedar Point would top their last coaster, but wow, this thing scares me. This muther's 420 feet tall, reaches speeds of up to 120 mph and will drop you at a 90 degree angle! That's straight down people. I can't wait!
