Sooo I have an Oovoo account now

3 guesses what the user name is(and the first two don't count). It means I had to find my camera's software(yes the picture still sucks looks like I need to shell out 40 bucks for a newer version of this POC, Piece of Crap for those who don't know with a mic), I'm still downloading the software to use the video chat part(yeesh I'm not even gonna use that I'm just gonna use yahoo or fb, or oovoo and crap).

I was gonna wait til I get a new laptop to start an oovoo account but as that is taking longer than usual(lots of miscellaneous bills keep popping up and I refuse to revisit the Acer fiasco, yes it was only $450 but dang only lasting 2 years not acceptable)I have a cam, that was attached to said fiasco and I can use that for now in all of it's grainy splendor, I swear if I could get tango to work on my backflip I MIGHT use that, than again no unlimited internet on the work phone, no tango like product on the crackberry.

Anyway this was just a quick shot(and probably should have been done on Word press, I keep not blogging there oh well I will get around to it, this one took a while to take off too but look at it now. well look at it most of the time) NO I do not accept random friend requests yes you can just send me a message, hey what do you know I have e-mails listed here you could just send me e-mails and say hello.  Please no spam, if it looks like spam I don't read it off my phone anyway, what you know I do most of my blogging through the phone now why are you acting so surprised that I read the majority of my e-mails there too.  Except for hotmail I have all but abandoned that account, I should probably check it.

The children of Lorien

This is kind of funny, it took me way to long to come up with a title for this blog, my last good review(I believe that would be for The Warriors Way) was pretty damn easy, it was the opening line of the movie this one hmm not so much.

This movie opens to a scene in the jungle, you pan over a small village, then some trees, then a lit up bungalo out in the middle of the trees. You see two mosquito netted beds, with someone asleep in each one, something jiggles the handle at the front door. A man stands up, grabs an interesting looking curved blade with a weird glowing blue ball near the bottom and cautiously walks up to the door. The handle stops moving, he peers out sees nothing is about to turn around when the door is engulfed(by what you don't see just yet) and the young boy who was asleep in the other bed goes tearing out of the window(his window jump was good, but Scott Pilgrim gets that award) after a series of jumps, tumbles and flips he winds up (by the throat) in the hands of some weird bald dude with weird markings on his head. In a gravelly voice the man tells him how fun it's going to be to kill him, runs him through with a blade of his own, and he turns to dust.


The trailers for: "I am number 4"

Disney's Prom

I almost thought this was "High School Musical" whatever because I mean thats what it looked like:a generic angsty teen age movie where the kids were basically hashing out what they were going to do for their last big hurrah: Senior(I'm assuming) Prom. It appears to follow the "hi jinx" of 4 couples(actually 3 couples and one dude trying to ask out his high school crush, snake bit doesn't begin to explain the futility of dudes attempts). Nope not even remotely interested in this movie further the fact that it made me think it was another movie I had no desire to see did not bode well for it in my mind. There have been a million "Teen coming of age" movies many of them were epic and we fell in love with them:Weird Science, 16 Candles, The breakfast club, hell Superbad, Ferris Beulers day off, meatballs okay problem is many of the movies that are going to pop into my head were the classics from my day. I guess Juno could be considered one as well, Clueless, minds drawing a blank really on some of the names I can see some of the actors faces but see that is me going through a lot more work then is necessary for a movie I think is going to be dull and boring.

X-men:First Class

Long day, bone tired

Okay due to situations beyond my control today ended after 9pm for me. So no I'm not in a good mood, "The Losers" came out on HBO tonight so that was kinda cool. I'm currently downloading the "Killzone 3 single player demo" from PSN, I was about to play Black Ops but it seems that attack on Sony's network I was reading about earlier popped up. A long expansive new TOS(Terms of Service for those who never got those warnings back in the AOL days), that probably provided me more eye strain than any 3D movie I ever tried to watch wearing glasses.

Before I stepped out to make my last delivery tonight i had STARTED the trailer blog for "I am number 4", I was talking about X-men:First Class, I'm doing this blog from my android as not to remove that one from my screen. Damn this is a long D/L it started oit at 34 minutes, not one to easily fall asleep when the sun goes down Boredom is boredom.

Now to be honest I have not played a single Killzone before, I know it was the supposed Halo killer but to my knowledge it never lived up to the hype. Was Halo perfect no(damn near, but no), it was fun as hell though. It allowed me and my siblings and my young wife a chance to bond, smack talk, and enjoy evenings at home together, aaaah good times. Pre halo I hated FPS' they were always clunky and awkward but after Bungie's epic I gained a new appreciation for the Genre.

Man my lids are heavy sitting here doing nada, the trailer blog is one of Two blogs I mentioned wanting to do on facebook the other is of course the review of the movie. 8 minutes left on the killzone Demo, I hope its fun. Putting this blog down may take a short nap since the content is taking its sweet old time

On the way to the Malco Stage rd 13

Another movie night, a different venue. It seems that the Raligh Springs 12 has been demoted to 2 shows a day on week nights and 3 a day on weekends. It seems times are truly hard for a pimp out here. But the Stage 13 isn't a bad venue either, nice seating, concessions ain too pricey, nor are tickets.

Not to say its perfect, the raleigh 12 is a short walk away(as previous blogs will attest), stage is a car ride away no matter what. So stage means no cardio, no blogging along the way(unless Lank, yeah yeah his nick name, decides to drive) no blogging and driving ladies and gents. Lank ain too much for before or after movie convo, but he's cool when he does chime in.

Aiight enough rambling on I have a blog to write about the trailers and then about the movie

A little randomosity passenger interaction if you would

While I have more than 160 entries on this here bloggie I believe I have a total of maybe 10 or 12 responses. As such I am curious as to how I could get you the reader to chime in a little more often, and I know ego maniacs that we web denizens tend to be usually this means "how can I drive traffic without having to do anything". Well as is hopefully obvious by now, I'm not your normal my way or the highway type.

I am really asking:Do you want more details in your movie review? More character backstory/my thoughts on the actor(s)? Do you want more pictures and possibly some shakey cam video(taken with a smart phone so expect to see nose hairs)? Would you like me to add some games to the blog to give your eyes a chance to heal from the excessive strain I put on them? Would you like me to add the youtube widget or some other(non porn sorry blog rules still apply) video/content site? Would you like me to visit your blog and see if I can survive in your domain?

Do I need to get the content production back up to end of 2010 levels? Thats something I want to do anyway so thats an easy request, like I said my brain has thawed/flipped the LP/ rebooted so somebody is actually at the helm again. Would you like me to partake in some of the blog challenges going around(if you do I reserve the right to call you Evil Minions and make a whiny blog afterwards, I hate deadlines)? I thought I would ask to see what responses if any I would get, maybe I could embarass myself by showing how little I know(but how quickly I could google) about the country with the highest visitor count outside the united states.

I love a good challenge minus to hard a deadline I don't mind a timer just not a "you have until such and such time to hand me this, but don't give it to me before such date/time". I know thats really sad but as I am getting nearer to the crotchety old geezer stage of life I am less inclined to be compliant with annoyances. If I ever make it to the 3 legged stage of life I fully expect to be unbearable and annoying :) .

3 blogs in 3 days if only I could get my but to exercise like I'm blogging again, oh well I'll move when I'm good and ready and not a cheese burger before

To those who continue to come by

Wave hi, thank you very much. I know that for the majority of the last month I really didn't do much to earn some of your devoted readership. I was flaky, I wasn't here, I would bounce in and out(hell I would look at my blog go meh and veg, okay and yes some porn was watched), I wouldn't finish blogs. And yet lo and behold every time there was a new update, I got visits. Not only the type of visits that are counted in dear old blogger/blogspot land but also the types of hits that are counted in my google analytics account. Some of you have even subscribed to my RSS feed(awesome), and I really don't deserve you because I've been a major tool, I'm talking sawzaw/jack hammer tool.

Plus as I have often mentioned unlike most writers(and if my lovely wife starts a blog she will be getting all types of Promo's on here YAAAY baby, what she's my wife I can't like for her to get attention and feel like the bomb. I think she's awesome, plus you know she's a great person she stays married to me, Sainthood I tell ya) I don't do a lot of self promotion. I don't it's like counter to my Zen approach to my life. I'll be me and you'll probably bump into me, maybe ya like me maybe ya don't, it's all good either way. I can't really call myself a writer though(unless this and other blogs count) because while I do have a story in my head I have yet to write Paragraph one. It keeps rattling around in my head because I don't like the "details" I want it to be real, palpable, edible. I guess like most people I am trying to write the Blah, blah blah, blah blah, blah blah blah. Look I have a somewhat weirdish comic book (well 4 or 5 part graphic novel but stay with me) running through my head based on some off balanced characters with some extreme dependencies and when I originally envisioned this story some 18 years ago I had a really specific way I wanted the story to go. Now I still do but I need to sit my tail down and start writing it. There I mentioned it, didn't give away too many details that may cause me to get story jacked(though to be fair, this is my blog and it will be time and date stamped so it isn't like I couldn't just point to it and say here, mine, already discussed) and have come off completely flaky again It ain easy being greasey baby.

Yeah I probably need to stop being a tool about that too, just go ahead and write something so that once it is complete I can vilify it complain and then rework it(yes I am that hard on myself that I would write it out, and bag on myself all day for the mistakes I made, Capricorn) and than possibly be happier about a second or third rewrite.  Oh well I WAS gonna play Black Ops but it seems my console isn't getting a proper IP address so time to watch Bleach, Naruto and hit the sheets. Til Manana folks
