"...The Batmobile Lost it's Wheels...and the Joker got Away."

Boy, I gotta tell ya...I am NOT a happy camper.

And I never was around christmas time, I swear.

I tell myself...

"You know those people that work for the CIA that have to abandon their identities and forget about all their family and loved ones behind...or like those people who go into Witness Relocation?

...Oh, How I ENVY them."

Man that Grinch had it good...

Living in a cave all alone with no one to bother him, THAT is THE SHIT!

I think it has to do with the job.

Work's been light again the last few weeks and I jus didn't have enough to go all out for Christmas.

I really think I need to ONCE again consider finding somewhere else to go, and that really really sucks.

I'm trying to stay positive, 2008 might start out right.

As for the family, MOM finally dragged me kicking and screaming over to Psycho-Lesbo Sis's new place to see how she's living.

She's still sharing her bed and her place with "Memphis Bleek" who now I am nicknaming "Easy-E" cuz she is looking like one of those N.W.A. dudes from Compton with the Raiders baseball cap on.

Their living situation is absurd. BOTH have whinny young daughters around the same age and are practically ONE-Uping each other in spoiling them. Sis buys this certain amount of gifts, Easy-E buys more...it's disgusting.

AND THESE KIDS!!!

Baby-Girl is becoming a BABY-BRAT! Nothing more than a crybaby, going on TEN YEARS OLD! Everything sets this child off like a proximity sensored explosive. And Eazy-E's KID has definately got some ADD issues. Those two are destined to be the ghetto hood-rat versions of "Thelma and Louise"...Laquasiha and Ajinay.

Oy vey, never mind. Now, before...Sis lived in a runned-down project four-story walk up near Co-Op city in Boondocks of the North Bronx...now, she's a bit closer, but in a High Rise Project building that's screaming to be featured on the 11 O'Clock News one day...

The place was smaller, but a bit more organized. Before, her Kitchen blended in with the living room, this time she ACTUALLY has a separate Kitchen. The living room has been cut in half with a set of bunk-beds for the girls and the mothers have a bedroom of their own.

She's 20 stories in the air facing downtown so she has a nice view of the city skyline and can actually see the Empire State Building AND even OUR building near the GWB to the east.

We ordered Pizza and watched a bootleg of "I Am Legend" that Sis brought. I told her to stop spending money cause I could damn well download any movie possible these days, but she was lucky enough to had found a DVD Screener Copy that was nice a clear. I guess Movie Piracy is stepping up a notch from those corny camcorder ripoffs.

We stayed till 9pm and left. It was better to come Christmas Eve this year than deal with any Christmas Morning headaches and drama. Now we have the actual DAY to ourselves to do what we want.

I plan to go to the Movies, jus like Thanksgiving. I'll probably see "Sweetney Tood" and "National Treasure 2".

That's about it.

Sorry I couldn't be all "Good Will Towards Men" and all that crap this year...

I promise to be better next year...

Peace!

"It's Official...December is "Coming Out Month""

Ya'll remember Two Years Ago when George Takei came out of the closet?

Seemed to help his career a bit as he eventually got casted in the Hit TV Show "Heroes"...

ANYhoo, Gay Hollywood has once again blossomed into the news as of late with the outing of two female headliners.




Queen Latifah and her longtime girlfriend Jeanette are OFFICIALLY ENGAGED!!! The two women have been in a relationship for more than 4 years - and they’ve finally decided to make it official. And there’s more. MediaTakeOut.com can confirm that the two are planning on PUBLICLY coming out to the world about their engagement. Word is that once Queen Latifah’s finished promoting her current movie, The Perfect Holiday an announcement will be made. MediaTakeOut.com can’t reveal our source to this story, but we can tell you that we’re 100% sure on this one.

Meh, Anyone who didn't see this one in the cards obviously never saw the movie "Set it Off". Shyyyyyt, you can't play no Gun-Totin' Bull Dyke unless you IZ one!




Jodie Foster has reportedly acknowledged her partner, Cydney Bernard, of 14 years in a public when she won an award at a Women in Entertainment breakfast. Jodie has always remained private about her personal life and has always refused to discuss her sexuality, however, she finally came out and thanked her partner, calling her "my beautiful Cydney".

Hmmmm, now THIS came outta left field! Well, what the hell...I figured she had some wires crossed the minute she played that teenage hooker in "Taxi Driver"...More power to her.

"Stuff against the Wall"

I think this is the VERY first time I didn't see an episode of "Survivor" this season. OF course this MIGHT have to be due to the fact that I WORK at night when it is usually on, Glavin!

I have no idea who won, and if it was any good out there in China, was there any controversial moments, did anyone almost die, etc, etc...

I'm SO out of it with Reality TV in general.

Who the hell is Kim Kardashian? and why does her last name remind me of those spoon-headed aliens from Deep Space Nine?



Who the hell is Tia Tequila? and who the hell can trust a Bi-Sexual to be monogamous?

Why the Hell does SNOOP DOGG have a reality show?

Why does Keisha Cole's family allow their Dirty Laundry to be plastered all over TV?

Will Hulk Hogan be the Next Bachelor since he's getting Divorced? How weird would THAT reality show be?

and speaking of Hogan, can you believe they're bringing back American Gladiators with HIM and Muhammad Ali's Daughter as Hosts?

WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO?!?!?

I heard when LOST comes back, it's moving to Thurdsays at 9pm against my CSI...FUCK!!!! Why the hell would they do THAT!?!?! First they moved it to 10pm on Wednesday and I kept falling asleep missing episodes NOW its replacing Grey's Anatomy.

And Speaking of which, the HELL's been goin on OVER THERE?

Is Callie the Chief Resident, now? and Meredith's Half Sister a intern now? and George got sorta Left Back while the others moved up in the ranks?

In the words of JOE SCHMO "WHAT IS GOING ON, HERE?!?!?"

And WHAT is up with late night television?

How is Chappelle's Show on late nights on the CW?...and what's Taxicab Confessions doing on BRAVO?

I'm losing my mind.

Between downloading crazy amounts of movies as WELL as music now online, watching TV, dealing with lack of work, and Christmas shopping all while falling for Ms. Philadelphia who's already picking out Promise Rings and shyt!

MY LIFE is SPINNING out of CONTROL!!!!

So, now I'm lying here watching "West Side Story" on AMC at 4 in the morning...

I've downloaded "Shoot 'em Up", and "Saw 4" and I'm sending Ms. Philadelphia "3:10 To Yuma" slowly over Yahoo IM.

We're in the middle of a VERY dry spell that has me working as a Copy Operator in "Production" rather than Scanning.

Life is full of Ups and Downs.

Did I mention the Eagles beat the Cowboys this past SUNDAY!!!?!!?

Someone sign me up for the Looney Bin, please.

Peace.

"Never underestimate the power of Will Smith!"

"I AM LEGEND" earns 75 frinking Million, Bjillion, Swmillion, shama-lama-ding dong Dollars!

WOW.

And I must say, it's worth every penny.

I saw it Saturday Afternoon before work. It was kinda slow at first and the Back-and-Forth Flashbacks as Robert Neville dreams was very similar to "I, Robot".

SO, without giving TOO much away the story's very close to the other incarnations of the past..."The Omega Man" and "Last Man on Earth"

Emma Thompson has a cameo in the beginning as the doctor that "Cured Cancer".

BUT, Leave it to a woman to be the end of Mankind as we know it...

3 Years later, Will Smith's the lone survivor driving around a VERY deserted Manhattan Island hunting deers for sport. He runs around during the day, but at NIGHT...

Well, lets jus say...the FREAKS come out at night.

This movie kicks ass, Smith deserves an Oscar nod for his performance.

Displaying the insanity of isolation ala Tom Hanks in "Cast Away", he talks to his only companion (His dog Samantha) and has placed mannequins all around the city talking to them like everyday people as he makes his routine rounds (Renting Videos, playing Golf off a Aircraft Carrier, etc, etc...). As he battles dementia he also deals with the failures of trying to find a cure to the virus that taken over the rest of the world.

Directed by "Constantine"'s Francis Lawrence the vast shots of the empty New York are stunning. They're even sight gags planted for possible future movies like a "Batman/Superman" crossover or a Teen Titans Live Action Movie. Other gems of the potential future include Shaq retiring from the NBA in 2010 and Katie Couric returning to the Today Show(?) (Maybe they didn't know she was gonna leave to CBS, but seeing her on the Today Show of the future was hysterical!)

The movie has it's deep moments as Flashbacks show Smith's tearful farewell with his wife and daughter (Once again played by his REAL LIFE daughter) as they evacuated the city.

There were gripes about deviations from the novel and rumors that the ending was reshot, but overall its was nice of hollywood go out on a limb and not recycle the typical cookie-cutter action hero cliché.

I give it 3 outta 4 stars...if Will Smith keeps saving the world, everything will be all good.

"Cuz everytime a girlfriend and I break up, My world is crushed and I'm all alone, The love bug crawls right back up and bites me and I'm back!"

SOMEthing is seriously wrong with me.

You'd think that cool ass new movie about Bob Dylan be portrayed by 5 or more different actors (Including Cate Blanchet!) "I'm not Here" would be the perfect title of a movie about ME!

I AM not HERE...

I am NOT Legend...

I am...

Totally losing my sanity and a slow pace.

I'm becoming UNHINGED like that version of Trivia Pursuit.

In the wake of the last 3 days I have...

*Gone on a date at a comedy show with one woman.

*Fallen for another in which said plans are drawn for X-mas and New Years

*And lost touch with another potential friend only to have communications recover slightly.

I am SO feeling like John Cusack in "High Fidelity" right now...

and ONCE again, I am breaking my cardinal rule about ADDRESSING IT ON THE DAMN BLOG!!!!

I seriously need to go to therapy.

I was even going to do a temporary post recalling all the past disasters JUST THIS YEAR!

From Leeloo...

To Vix...

And these Last three ya'll don't know about, THAT'S RIGHT I said THREE!

I blame FullFiggas.com

That site has corrupted me with its poison like "Venom" from Spider-Man 3

The true, life-embracing Red & Blue Blooded, Eyes-wide-open Optimistic has now

Become the Dark, Repeatedly Heartbroken, Self-Loathing, empty husk of a corpse.

The brake cables have been cut, I'm lost all control, now...it's only a matter of time before I hit the wall.

"Advances in Technology...as well as Setbacks."

Hey,

I know I haven't been doin any personal updates lately, Life's been crazy, that's all.

MOM's whole Quest-for-HDTV has cascaded into this Big THING.

Someone clued her in that HDTV is pointless (unless you play nothing but HD-DVD's) WITHOUT Digital Cable.

SO, it was time to step into the future. (YAY!!!!!)

I have been waiting for this moment for so long.

Stealing statically, illegal, sound drowned out channels for 5 years...watching each and everyone slowly disappear and yearning for others I've only HEARD of.

TV-One, the Black Sitcom channel
MTV2
Boomerang
Toon Disney
Fuse
G4, the Gaming Network
GSN, damnit GEE-SSS-NNN

SO today we had Old Man Time Warner hook us up.

In exchange, my monthly contribution to the rent will decrease slightly to compensate for the skyrocketing Cable/Broadband Bill.

My God, experiencing all those channels for the first time was awe inspiring. If I didn't go out before, I damn sure won't be now...

In other news...

My quest for more music storage has hit a wall. I had brought a couple of 4GB SD cards for my MP3 player in hopes to hold more music. Unfortunately the cards were incompatible. My Panasonic Jukebox program can only put music on SD cards formated in FAT and apparently the highest memory card that can be formated that way is 2GBs. I've been investigating this a bit, trying to get in touch with Panasonic. They claim their player can use cards 4GB, 8GB and even 16. There was even a website that chat had the Full Compatibility List for all SD Card Devices from Cameras, Camcorders to MP3 players. My Panasonic SV-SD85 SHOULD be work with bigger cards.

First the SDHC Bullcrap now this...

I've been doing more research trying to find another MP3 Player with an Expansion Slot for Cards 4GB or Higher...

The only one seems to be This Alba Player overseas in London.

Finally, I have FOUND the MOTHERLODE of movie and software downloads!

This countdown site called http://www.top100bloggers.com/ lists the hottest blogs out there where you can download music, movies and software! I used the last few days of my expiring rapidshare account to get DVD quality ripped movie files of the Late Summer/Early Fall blockbusters. The Bourne Ultimatum, The Simpsons Movie, Balls of Fury, 30 Days of Night, and Resident Evil:Extinction. I've even picked up a few software programs to tweak up ol' XP including a Vista Package to make XP "LOOK" like the new Vista (Put thankfully not perform like it!) and a cool PS2 playing program that allows me to play PS2 discs in the PC.

I recommend checking out the list daily as a good source of the latest and greatest exclusive downloads.

Well, that's about it for now, work's been cool, still doing my thing of FF and gettin my freak on...

More updates on the way...

Peace!
