Farewell August 08, and good early morning to September 08.
.
.
I'm rolling, strolling, kicking that funky psychedelic, while no one gives a shit.
.
.
It's a race against time to figure out the best way to stay close yet far away.
.
.
Much ado about nothing. That is basically it. I got nothing folks. Sorry to disappoint. Less than 30 hours before I depart for my first University class. 30 hours to burn.

Barack, Barack, Barack, Barack!!!!!
What can I say? I am a Obama suporter. It is amazing that after several centuries of American independence, this will be the first time an african-american has the possibility of being the first black president. Perhaps things are changing in America. Hopefully. Blacks in the U.S.A have suffered for too long under white supremacy, slavery, the KKK and racist authority in the U.S.A.
Well, that was my little tidbit right there.
.
.
Moving on. In four days I will attend University for the first time. It will be tough but fun at the same time, so-to-speak. I am also glad to hear that singer Zack De La Rocha and guitarist Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine led a protest in Denver during the Democratic National Committee against the war in Iraq. *Huge smile*

Kickin' that funky shit
It's late, it's dark. I'm bored and so are you. Ha ha ha got you! Hold on, let me grab my third coffee. Stay. Stay. Good dog.

So last night around 1 am or 2 am - maybe sometime in between - I went to sleep. *pauses* That's a lie. I meant to say, I tried to go to sleep. Fucking Pampers commercial while I try to write something serious. Anyways, what was I saying? Umm, no not that. Oh yeah. So, I am trying to sleep - mind you I was home alone - and I start hearing someone snore and some mumble jumbo. Meh. Now there is a commercial of a girl in her bra eating rice (uncle Ben's). Goddamn it! Fuck!

Eat that Suckaaaa
Oh boy. I have been slacking off on this blog. not to be confused with wanking off. Nope. Don't even think about it. Don't! The reason is simple. Well, kind of. I have been writing a short story (trying to get into the rhythm of writing, you know?) like I told you. Also, I could be a slacker. Which at this point I am. However, I also have to read my driver's manual since my knowledge test is in two weeks. So, yeah. Eat THAT sucka!

Blair Witch Project: Another Review
Alright, where should I begin? I know, I know, this is an old movie that came out nine years ago. Believe it or not, but I have seen it for the first time today. Let's just say it is my type of film. A movie revolving around the paranormal and that which encourages its viewers to use his or her imagination in putting the pieces together.
For those of you who have not seen this movie - though I believe you have heard of it in one way or form - may or may not like it. It is as simple as that. Love it or hate it. If you hated Cloverfield, then you will hate The Blair Witch Project. Brief and simple without going into major details: The movie takes place in the woods near Burkittsville, Maryland 1993. Three teens - one girl and two guys - decide to film a documentary on the Blair Witch, which has stirred up many myths and horror. As they begin wondering in the woods they realize that they are not alone.
Ooooooohhhh, Ahhhhhhh. Eeeeeeeee.
The ending may leave some in disappointment because it is an open ending. I liked it a lot. The characters were well written and seemed realistic in which one can relate to. Though I must admit that Heather was fucking annoying at times. The first 30-45 minutes is slow and nothing 'eerie' happens, but soon after that it begins. :D

AH, my balls!
" You like em' big hairy balls, eh? " --- T.J from Deuce Bigalow: European Gigalow.
*Cat jumps on T.J's balls* lol
Oh boy, such a horrible movie, but not so painful to watch. That scene made me laugh, even though it got a little repetitive when T.J, played by Eddie Griffin, keeps smacking the cat with several utensils. Well, it is as bad as Austin Powers in Goldmember, which I saw last night. Now that movie was complete shit. Really. Many, many scenes in the movie were repetitive and not funny. Argh. Oh well.
So far I have been thinking of what my short story will be about. Why and how it will impact the audience. I have the idea and I do know what I want to do with it. The only thing standing in my way is writing it. Even though I have written one chapter (300-400) words, I am still unsatisfied. There is a of of work to do.

Bottle Shock: a review
It really feels like I don't post anymore. Damn!
Some hours ago I attended a free preview of the small budget movie. I do like Alan Rickman - who can forget Hans Gruber from Die Hard? - and I hope my brief review won't be biased. Well, I try not to like a movie because of a particular actor/actress, but sometimes one cannot help it. Here we go.
Bottle Shock takes places in 1976 when a english wine store owner, Steven Spurrier, played by Alan Rickman decides to hold a contest to determine the best wine, both french and american. Apparently there have been rumors that the vinyard in California will produce the best wine in years to come. Spurrier does not believe this, which is why he heads to California in search for the best wine. That is the synopsis for the movie.
The characters are easy to love, especially Dennis Farina's Maurice. Though he does not have a lot of screen time. There is also a triangle conflict between two best friends, Bo, the Chateau Montelena's (Californian vineyard) son, and Gustavo, a Mexican working for Bo's father, and the new intern, Sam (a young woman). The triangle has a good promise but fails to live up to its expectations. There seems to be moments that compel the audience to believe that something will happen, maybe a fight between Bo and Gustavo, maybe another complication between the boys and the girl - something - but nothing really. Nevertheless, the film makes up for this with a good cast from Bill Pullman, Bo's struggling and depressed father, Alan Rickman's exquisite serious and dark comedic voice, and Chris Pine, who played Bo.
As my cousin told me, ' even though the movie is predictable, it gives the audience a warm feeling. ' The movie does not try to force the audience to love a certain character, but it is hard not too. If you go see Bottle Shock with the expectations set by wine movie, Sideways, then you will be disappointed. Take the movie for what it is worth. Bottle Shock is not trying to be fancy, explosive and edgy. It does try, and in the end succeed, to be simple and charming at the same time.
Review Grade: 7.5/10

All those things that are lost
Games, games and more games. W00t!
I feel like i'm drifting away from this blog. I really do. It sucks, I know. Even though it is almost the middle of August, it is shocking that I have written very little. Very little. I recently started another blog, but that is today. In other words that is no excuse for my lack of posts. Not that I am trying to find an excuse. What is up with me? Why is everything up and not down? I am currently looking for a job. I will continue to do so this week. Perhaps apply at a grocery store or video store. I have just sent my cv and application to a book store, and perhaps HMV, a music store, will be sent in due time.
Fuck. I am drifting.

The Long Halloween
*thinks*
*scratches head*
Yesterday. Wow. Yesterday I read all 370 pages of graphic novel, Batman: The Long Halloween. Obviously, 370 pages in a graphic novel is not the same as 370 pages of a Stephen King book. Still, it was a pleasant trip. Awesome dialogue, though some seemed repetitive. The end, as told by many critics, will leave you puzzled and shocked. Yes, I was shocked. Yes. Awesome Batman story. The next Batman graphic novel will be Batman: Year One by Frank Miller. I have also read Sin City: A Dame To Kill For and The Big Fat Kill. Awesome shit. Damn, I love graphic novels. :D
