I am completed disgusted at the surge of this whole teaparty movement.

The original Boston teaparty happened because of a lack of representation over the tax in question.  These modern taxes HAVE representation, AND the tax structure is essentially a return to the system utilized during the Clinton-era, back when people could actually pay their ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I went down to Bowling Green, OH for the 2nd Annual Burning Club Juggling Convention.

The open juggling space they had at the field house was really good: rubbery floor, high ceilings, plenty of room.  I pretty much just kept to my usual anti-social self and juggled by myself for the first few hours.  Because of the rubber coating on the ( Read more... )

Alright, as most of you probably guessed, my last entry was an April Fools joke.  Granted, this joke wasn't exactly the most elaborate or grandiose, but hey, I've already joined the army and gotten stupid tattoos in the past, so I figured I'd tone it down a little this year and make it a little more subtle.  For the record,  I am not a fan of Fall ( Read more... )

So I FINALLY got Fall Out Boy's new album, and I am totally blown away by it.  It's not often that I use the word "genius" to describe an album, but "Folie à Deux" truely is a work of genius.  I think that this might be the greatest thing I have ever listened to.  Come to think of it, I might even go so far as to call this work the greatest and ( Read more... )

This past weekend my dad and I made it out to the Ann Arbor Film Festival.

We went on Friday (it had been going on all week), and made it out to two of the attractions.  First up, we went to a screening of the arthouse experimental piece 'A Darkness Swallowed'.  The film was 78 minutes long, and after about the first ten minutes there was no dialog ( Read more... )

-  I bought my first car recently.  It is a 2005 Sable Mercury LS Premium.  While I don't really like automobiles and am not looking forward to the extra expense, it was definitely time I got my own wheels.

-  I have been selected for jury duty during the month of April.  Oddly enough, I have been pre-selected for jury duty four times, and selected ( Read more... )

Last Wednesday I was a movie extra in the major motion picture 'Betty Anne Waters'.  The shoot took place in Ypsilanti, and the scene took place in a blue-collar bar circa early 1980s.  I was there for over 14 hours.  It was quite the experience!

I got there and signed in and filled out my payment paperwork and I was then turned over to wardrobe.  ( Read more... )

Sylvester Stallone, you blew my face off with the Rocky and Rambo films.  When you resurrected those characters a few years ago for sequels, you blew my face off all over again.  Lately, I've been following the casting of your upcoming film, 'The Expendables'.  I noticed that Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, and yourself were set to be in it ( Read more... )

A couple entries ago, I wrote about an open casting call I attended in Chelsea to be an extra in Hillary Swank's new film.  It was not a good experience, and I ended up leaving in disgust before I even got into the building.  I did however, decide to email my information and a picture to the talent agency on a whim.

Yesterday, I got a call from the ( Read more... )
