This weekend, the 36th annual Annie Awards were held. The Annies are the Oscars for animation. Surprisingly, Kung Fu Panda swept through the awards, and took home 11 trophies, completely shutting out Wall-E. Wall-E actually won less awards then Jar Jar Binks, who won for his appearance on Robot Chicken. I thought Kung Fu Panda was a fun movie, but ( Read more... )

This is great. A few years ago, a band called the Easy Star All Stars released an album called Dub Side of the Moon, a reggae/dun version of Dark Side by Pink Floyd. It's an awesome album. I think since getting the dub version, I haven't listened to Dark Side once. I've listened to the Dub version many times.. I didn't know until tonight that they ( Read more... )

President Bush is now ex-President Bush. All kidding aside, I have to admit I've been very impressed with the class shown by the former President and First Lady. I'm sure many of you remember the contentious transition between the Clinton administration and the incoming Bush administration. All the rumors of keyboards with missing letters, and ( Read more... )

All the times I've seen this video over the years, and it wasn't until today that I learned it was Henry Rollins playing the Vanilla Ice clone in this video.

I went to get a haircut this morning. I didn't really want to, but mom kept asking.

The pony tail was 20 inches. (going to locks for love) I had my ( Read more... )

At a little after 2am this morning, my brother Bill passed away. He was 53. It looks as if his heart just gave out. He's been through a rough couple of months, and I think his body just couldn't take anymore. I did get to see him yesterday. My Sister drove my Mother, Father, and I to go see Bill. I won't sugar coat it, he didn't look too great. It' ( Read more... )

Ok. My brother is out of surgery. After having half his stomach removed in his surgery last week, the doctors were forced to removed his entire stomach today. I knew my brother has diabetes, but I found out today he has a serious form of hepatitis. I guess when the junk from his gut kept spilling into his body, it caused pretty much all his ( Read more... )

I'm not a religious man, so the thought of me praying would be quite amusing to whatever god may be up there, whether it's the jewish/christian god, Mohammed, Zeus, and of the Hindu gods. the great spririt, or The Great Prophet Zarquon. Today, I'm making an exception. My brother is in pretty bad shape. He's been the unluckiest person alive, ( Read more... )

My Top Ten Movies of 2008

This was such a great year for movies. I do one of these lists every year, and post it on a newsgroup I frequent, and when I started making notes of the films I really like, I was close to 30. (and there are a lot of movies from this year I haven't had the chance to see yet!)
