Well Deserved Hiatus (Because I'm a Moron)
Sorry for not posting recently, Ive taken a minor detour in the path of life. Tip of advice: If your Dr. puts you on a drug called serequel, tell him to shove it up his ass! He prescribed it to me because I was having trouble sleeping as I suffer with insomnia. What else does one take this drug for you ask? Well, it's used as an anti-psychotic! My fault as I did not research it like any sane person would. So, being on this wonder drug for about 5 months , I decided to quit it cold turkey after suffering with some terrible side effects such as, weight gain, irritability, and honestly, being so damn lazy that I couldn't force myself to do anything. So I quit taking it. BIG MISTAKE! I suffered withdrawals of the worst possible kind. The first was returning to the insomnia, but that was kind of a given. What surprised me though, was the amount of pain all throughout my body. I deal with a lot of pain on a daily basis anyway from sciatic nerve issues and degenerative disk disease. Quitting however, enhanced my pain ten fold, and then, even added more on top of it. I don't know if anyone has ever experienced shin splints before, but every time a muscle was used in my body, the only way to associate what it felt like was that of shin splint pain. Every joint in my body also throbbed and I was in agony for about 2 weeks straight before it finally began to break. Now, after about three and a half weeks later, I'm just beginning to feel normal again. Added to those w/d symptoms were dizziness, feeling highly emotional and depressed, and some lethargy. So my message to you is simple, If the Doctor prescribes it, tell him or her to go F themselves. So with that, I will be starting up the blog again, and hopefully I'll get some readers, so tell your friends to take a look and leave a reply, because I'm not always right about things and I take criticism well. So until then, I bid you a farewell.

Just a couple of ideas...
Good ole' Toshiba |
Kyocera, not too shabby |
Samsung Captivate |
Anyways, that leads
me to my point. In backing up all my data, two things have become abundantly clear to me. Always use two
web browsers and always have at least three email accounts. Here's why.
Speed Dial |
I make it no secret that Opera is by far my most favorite browser of all time. there are a great number of add-ins available for it, and pretty much every gadget under the sun. The best part of it, to me, is the speed dial page. What this is, is an editable web page where you can put over thirty of your favorite and most visited sites. You put what you want and the application doesn't do it for you. So basically, I do everything with it and its my default browser. Okay, so why would you need another browser you ask? Most browsers have the ability to save your passwords and login info for all your sites, but sometimes that can be annoying. I have been known to use various changes in cc info and mailing addresses, etc. So when I have all my main info in one browser, I keep my backup one 'empty' so to say, so I don't have to worry about and sending out different info. Think about it and you'll come up with some other ideas also. Its also good when a friend wants to sign in his facebook or email account that they use the backup browser so when you check yours on your main browser, you're not looking at someone else's info. And when you're in a hurry, there's nothing more annoying having to resign in . Maybe it's because I'm a geek, but I like to keep at least three email accounts. The one main one is kept for personal usage. For example, my mom has it and so does my brother , most of my friends, and my Dentist and Doctors. You get the idea. The second one is mostly for forums and certain websites that I need to use an email to sign in with. I am somewhat selective with this one because you need to have some understanding of web pages to use an email address. In most cases though, it's easy to tell a safe web page from one that's going to send you a shit load of spam. That brings us to our last email account. This one is used for all the rest of the crap out there. You know what I'm talking about. You sign up for an on-line gaming account and the next thing you know, you get bombarded with millions of pieces of useless mail. Again, by now, you should know the difference in these types of sites. So there you go. You may not agree with these things, but they're some things that I do to make my computing experience a little easier. Feel free to share any tips or ideas in the comment section if you have any because it's never too late to learn.
Interesting update. Just view the chart and you'll understand.
Unfortunately, this turned out to be a hoax, but I still like it. |

Moon Landings? Hoax?
Lots of silly conspiracies say it did not happen? I don't know. I tend to think they did. But here's a great video, and my way of introducing myself.
Finally! I spent a buttload of cash to go see Green Lantern!
Yes, It's the actual ticket! |
So yeah, finally
dragged my lazy ass to Crossgates Mall to see Green Lantern. The only viewing
left was the 4:40pm, 3d show. Being not so happy about that, I decided to
purchase the ticket anyways.
A while back I had
watched the 3d version of Avatar, and needless to say, it did not live up to
any expectation whatsoever. If I personally never see another 3d movie again,
I'll be extremely happy. It was turning out to be a bad experience when I
passed the hundred or so people gathering around the escalator waiting for the
opening of Harry Potter : The Deathly Hallows Part Dos and made my way upstairs
to find that the concession wasn't up and running, so I made my way back down.
They let anyone into Hogwart's these days |
So, back down to buy more. Out like $25.00 bucks at this point, but that's okay, it was expected.
It was a battle and this movie better be f#*king great and not another Avatar.Hated it, but that was mostly because the asshole behind the counter didn't layer.
So, I give you a brief history.
Comic Books have been a constant in my life for as long as I can remember. Most
people think they are for kids, but the little known truth is, the average
comic book reader is ages 35 to 44. And yes, some of us are geeks, but we
embrace it.Comics are not as silly as most people assume they are.
There is some great stories with complex characters , and great artwork in
most cases. These days ,almost all comics are available in digital format for
tablets, computers, and even phones. When I was a wee lad, it was all in print,
and wearing them out to nothing was a normal thing for me. I would read and
read the same comic over and over.
Eventually I got into the collecting thing, but I was more interested in the
stories then not letting air or skin come in direct contact with them, so it died
out pretty fast. These days, there's a hard drive dedicated to nothing but
comics. Of all the titles out there, Green Lantern was my absolute favorite.
The thought of having a ring that could form any object just from a thought.
Yeah, that would be the shit. So basically, I've been waiting about 30 years
for this movie to come out. Was it worth it? Maybe.
I'm pretty sure this is shopped |
Like most movies,
the moguls get so jacked up when they get major star signed on, they tend to
forget the most important part, the story. The actors and voice overs, were spot
on, especially Mark Strong, who played Sinestro.
You may know him from his recent role as Lord Blackwood from Sherlock Holmes. Look for him in the future, he's going to go far.
For Hal Jordan they cast RyanReynolds. I've been a fan of him for quite some time, mostly for his sarcastic wit. Sadly, many fanboys became extremely mad over this choice. Now, if you're familiar with Hal Jordan, you would know he is a womanizing stud who is fearless and carefree. From the get go I thought he was a great pick.
I'm not going into detail with the rest of the cast, except for one more actor, and that's Peter Sarsagaard. If you're not that familiar with the name, you will be once you IMDB him. Guaranteed that he's been in at least 2 movies you have loved within the last 5 years. Personally, every movie with him in it that I have seen was good, if not great.
The rest of the actors/actresses were a great match for the characters they portrayed. No complaints there. Special effects deserve an A. The CGI team, brought the world of OA and the GL Corps to life. The only aspect of the animation was the way the Guardian's were drawn and that prevented them from an A+. Sure, the Director added to that too, otherwise, it would have been a B for them.

Finally, we come to
the story. I understand you have to fit
50 plus years of character evolution into a couple hours, you're going
to have to dice it up a little. With that said, I have to give the story a C+
at the absolute most. It was a little UN-meaty. There should have been a little
more of a story instead of a quick, here's everybody and this is what they do,
now let's watch them save the world. On a side note, I have to give the 3D a BIG FAT D-. Watching the regular version would have been just as good. My hope
is that the sequel(s) will be much better in the story department. Ask the
fans, we don't have anything else to do and we could come up with something
better. And there you have it...

Attention Deficit Dis…What was I saying?
She may look like Voldemort, but hey, the sex was bad. I still can't believe she took the dog though. |
When we used to argue, like most couples do, It always seemed to boil down to how we each had different views of relationships. I would always disagree, but it would always go back to the beautiful things that could only be seen on the silver screen. Trust me, this is all going to tie in together at some point. Let me go back a bit to the conversation I mentioned earlier.
Talking with mom the
other day. Hi Mom! The conversation came around to something or other having to
do with attention deficit disorder ,and since I'm a moron, I kept referring to
it as OCD. But anyways, once the brain farts subsided, an interesting theory
formed in my skull. And here it is…
One of the main
reasons that today's children are growing up with no attention spans and are
hyperactive, or whatever you want to call it, is something I have always
called, 'information overload'.
What that is, is simple. There are so many facets for gaining information of any kind that our minds as a collective can't take it. As older people have adapted to this and can just tune it out, the younger ones have no other avenue to take. They have no earlier reference point to draw back on. Take a look at a tv show from the 50's. Let's take 'I Love Lucy' for example.
Most of the half hour situation comedy takes place in Ricky and Lucy's living room. Next, we go to the commercials that would run during these shows. They were simple and to the point. 'Buy This', or ,'I only use this product'. You get the idea. As a whole, we were content with this. Now, compare that to the commercials you see today. One commercial, in 30 seconds continuously flash different images to force there point. Video games are just the same. The images fly through different levels. They're so fast that sometimes you can't even make out what the hell is going on.
And then there's movies. Fast, loud and exciting. Don't get me wrong I'm not against any of these things, but I think they contribute to what I said earlier and that’s 'information overload'. We have instant access to everything out there, and it's all instantaneous. I think it has a downside. It seems to me that all this information that comes at us so fast, has a huge effect on society. Whether it be some fairy tale life or depression, or ADHD, hell, maybe even autism. I believe information overload plays a huge part in it. I would love to see if any studies have been done on this. I doubt it, because the only way to test would be to confine a child to a life of isolation from the rest of the world. Maybe the Amish could partake in this study as they are supposed to be against all that stuff. I don't know much about them so I don't even know if that would work., Anyways, do we, as a society, need all this information , and is it affecting us in a negative way. When I was younger, I used my imagination.
Our family didn't have cable and we
lived out in the sticks so imagination played a huge roll in my upbringing.
There's so much going on today that I think kids are using there imagination
less and less. And that is sad.

The fun one can have with a rubber ducks, legos and great imagination. |
Here's a Perfect
example. I just read an article about how a parade affected business on main
street in Great Barrington Massachusetts. Never in my mind would I give two
shits about anything in GB, MA unless my cousin didn't post a link on his
Facebook. Sorry Bob, but, I'm not really interested in Massachusetts unless I
was going there for some reason and then I would like it to be a surprise. But
it goes to show you what I'm talking about. 100 years ago, it would take a good
few days for news like that to reach
other parts of the country, and only then, it would be the really important
shit. This particular story probably wouldn't have been deemed important enough
to make it past Great Barrington lines. These days, if a cat gets stuck in a
pipe in Iran, it ends up being everywhere, From TV to Internet.

Popcorn, Eggs, and a Banana
The McStay case has
been interesting to me since I first came across it on the internet about a
year ago, and I can't seem to wonder about a few things. If you're not familiar
with the McStay's, please read the following story about it.
On February 4, 2010 Summer McStay, after
searching on the internet for a homeopathic drug, made a cell phone call at
2:11 p.m. to a homeopathic medicine company. She was looking to purchase a
medication called 'Anger'. No such
medicine exists. There is however, many types of homeopathic medicines that help with anger.This would be the last phone call she would make.
At 7:47 that same
night, a neighbor catches on surveillance tape, what appears to be the McStay's
White Isuzu Trooper passing by.
At 8:28 PM on
February 4, 2010 Joseph McStay made a cell phone call to an employee, Charles Merritt, to follow up
on a meeting earlier that day. This to, would be the last phone call he would make.
Sometime after
February 4, Just north of San Diego in a
small town called Fallbrook, neighbors of the McStay's, became concerned about
the McStay's dogs, Bear and Digger, next door barking continuously. The
neighbor called animal control officers, who gave the dogs water from a spigot.
No one was home so the neighbors fed the dogs until Joseph McStay's brother
came to collect the animals.
On February 10, Dan Kavanaugh , who ran Earth
Inspired Products, Joseph McStay's business website, had been unable to contact
Joseph so he called the police to do what is called a 'welfare check'. Not
seeing anything out of the ordinary, other then no one being home, The San
Diego Sherriff's leave. A few days later , Michael McStay, having become
increasingly worried, breaks in through a window to find the house empty. There
was some mess in the house, but Michael believed it was from remodeling that
was going on in the home. On February 15, Michael calls the police and reports the family missing.
Detective Troy DuGal is sent to the Fallbrook home.DuGal comes to the conclusion that there are no
signs of a struggle but that the family appears to have left in somewhat of a
hurry. Besides the two dogs being left unattended, two bowls of uneaten popcorn
are in the living room and there are some eggs and a banana still on the
kitchen counter. The family had vanished. Joseph, Summer and there two
children, Gianni, 5, and Joseph Mateo,3.
Dugal drew his attention to the family vehicles. There green truck was still parked in the driveway but there White Isuzu Trooper was missing. The detective immediately tracked it down. It had been towed on February 8,it was originally found a couple blocks away from the U.S. Mexico border, in a town called San Ysidro. The vehicle was parked illegally in a strip mall parking lot. The only fingerprints found in the car are those of the McStay family.

The Simpsons
What can I say?We like to eat. |
Justice System = OOOPS! |
Somehow then, the conversation turned to the Nicole Brown/Ron Goldman murders.
875 South Bundy
Brentwood California
June 13 1994
The bodies of Ron
Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson are discovered.They were killed a few hours earlier on June 12, 1994.
All evidence
immediately points to OJ Simpson.
O J's son Jason left
the restaurant about 930 with his chef knives according to witnesses. He had got into a possible conflict
with his girlfriend and was somewhat agitated. This time line will change a couple times through the investigation.As a chef,it's not that unusual to bring
knives home after your shift.Sometimes one good chef knife can run upwards of hundreds of dollars.
I came across a documentary linked here, its called OJ Guilty but not of murder or watch it at the end of this post. Immediately this investigator manages to get copies of Jason Simpson's medical records. This must have been before that privacy act went into effect. It turns out he has a drug problem and a history of violence. No, I'm not sure what drugs have to do with it. But it showed he did have a lot of anger management issues. He had been on depakote for years and had gone to the hospital a couple weeks before the murders to tell the Dr. he was almost out and was going to rage. Depakote is used to control seizures and helps with bipolar disorder. Two weeks prior to the murders Jason attacked his girlfriend Jenifer Green. There are other instances of violence towards women in his past having to do with knives. Very interesting. He was also trained in hand to hand combat and was known for always having his knives or a knife with him. I am truly intrigued now.

He had talked to his ex girlfriend before the
murders and told her he had stopped taking his medicine. Let's go back in time a bit.
It turns out when he was younger there was an incident involving the death of his sister.He had a sister Aaren who drowned when he was around ten. There's not much out there on this and I am still researching it, but she was with Jason in the pool unattended. For some reason he left her alone and she drowned. Or did she? This caused some serious mental issues with him and he began therapy to help deal with it. And we're back to the present past now. I think I read this right, if not I apologize. On the night of the murder he was excited because he was going to be preparing dinner where he worked for the family to celebrate a family member's recital, but last minute, Nicole decided to change locations. Hell, that would piss me off, but not enough to kill. But I don't have mental issues like that. As a chef, I know how frustrating that could be. We like to show off and impress our families. And finally, there are discrepancies in his statements about when he left work and where he was that night. I don't want to give too much away, but here's a very good documentary about the investigation done privately and a lot of never before seen, rather compelling evidence.
Check it out and see what you think.Hmmmmmm, notice the hat he's wearing, very similar to the one found at the crime scene maybe?It turns out when he was younger there was an incident involving the death of his sister.He had a sister Aaren who drowned when he was around ten.

Challenge Accepted!
What do you do on
that computer all day long?
This question is one
that's been asked by many loved ones and friends over the years since the
internet became accessible, After the Atari 800 , our families interest in
computers waned a bit. It may have had something to do with the $150.00 dollar
bill my mother got in the mail from my brother connecting to some long
distant bulletin board service.. Yeah,
that's how it used to be, and back then it was a lot of money for a phone bill. Needless to say it left a bad taste in my mother and
father's mouths.
After several years
had passed, my mom got a new system.She became interested
in it after a while. She was a teacher and she had discovered a whole new world
of utilities and information that could help with her teaching. Personally, I
didn't get much past AOL at that time, It was the big thing back then. It had
just come out and every one who had a computer was on it(AOL that is).
So many years later,
around 2001 or 2002, I got my real first system. It was an E machines 633 MHz
Celeron with like 256 MB Ram and two 20
GB Hard Drives, that was after I upgraded a few things, but it was pretty cheap
when I bought it at around 149.00 after all the rebates.

The first few months I had it, it was being
used for business purposes. At the time I was involved in a business
venture that required the use of a computer. Then the old thing sat
around for a little bit until one day when I was reading an article about
electronic music. This opened up a whole new world.
Upon discovering
recording was possible on the computer, I picked up my guitar and recorded my
ass off. In the early nineties, Our band would had to have spent thousands of
dollars for the resources that were available on the computer for a few hundred
dollars. WIN!

Well, many years
have passed since then. The computer has become an extension of me.Nowhere do I
go without my laptop.Now the question that was asked of me originally, what
exactly do you do on that thing all day? Here we go. Besides the obvious email,
browsing, blah, blah, I am currently trying to write 2 books at the same time,
one fiction, one non fiction. Photography has entered things in a big way, so I
just got into photo manipulation, which is terribly fun. My mother makes her
own wine, so for her, I've been making wine labels.
Just recently, I've been looking into some classes on line or maybe correspondence courses. Of course there's this
blog. I've just begun to also, play around with video editing and with this am
trying to make a cartoon. By the way, there are a lot of good free programs
that are readily available just floating around out there (future post). There's
still the old standard, which is audio editing, recording, listening, and all
that goes with it. So, I guess you could add songwriting in there.Rework my
resume while trying to find work. In between all that, I'm always jotting down
my ideas and thoughts.Keep in mind, these are just the things I can come up
with off the top of my head. So, in general, I keep myself busy. One of my
favorite things is reading comic books, magazines and books. I could go on, but
I think I've bored you enough with my story. Until next time...

Copywrong Infringrment
So I've taken a few days off and have done some research. Wait. Let me go back a little. as you may know this blog was just recently started.My friend Jerry has been giving me tips and pointers on the whole thing. He's a great guy and I appreciate all his help. One of the last things he mentioned was that it was illegal to post images and other content that wasn't mine.
'Assume everything is copyright protected' he said. Well, after looking around for some sort of loophole for awhile, I decided to just say the hell with it and just not post anymore images.But now for the good news. It seems that there are many sites out there that offer millions of free use images, one being Wikipedia Commons They have over 10 million images to choose from. Also there is flickr creative commonsOf course, there are many other options available, but I'm not going to waste our time by posting them all.All I can say is Thank God that I don't have to stress out over this bullshit anymore and can get on with things. Now for my opinion on copyrighting. It's bullshit! Okay, I can understand that it's wrong to take someone else's work and make money off it. That's just wrong and should very much be illegal. What I don't like is how I use the work of others (of course) in my blog. It's more like advertising for them. And to top things off, I'm only sharing with others my opinions of certain things or images, links and videos I find interesting.You would think that some of the originators of their work would be thankful of the free advertising, I would be, and for this reason, you never know who could see something you've done and either purchase something you've done, it could inspire and motivate someone to bring about the 9th wonder of the world,
or hell,someone might see something and hire you to do some work. Of course, as with any law, theres always bound to be a change. Maybe someday, all of us bloggers will be allowed to use images without having to worry about copyright laws.Anyways, that's my thought and I'm out for a few minutes. It seems I'm going to need to change my blog name graphic.It's gonna be an amazing piece of art or very crappy. I promise.As far as the past posts go, I'm gonna leave them and if anybody tells me to take them down, I will. Hopefully they will realize I'm not making any money off there images and am using them in a positive way.

And to top things off, I'm only sharing with others my opinions of certain things or images, links and videos I find interesting.You would think that some of the originators of their work would be thankful of the free advertising, I would be, and for this reason, you never know who could see something you've done and either purchase something you've done, it could inspire and motivate someone to bring about the 9th wonder of the world,
or hell,someone might see something and hire you to do some work. Of course, as with any law, theres always bound to be a change. Maybe someday, all of us bloggers will be allowed to use images without having to worry about copyright laws.Anyways, that's my thought and I'm out for a few minutes. It seems I'm going to need to change my blog name graphic.It's gonna be an amazing piece of art or very crappy. I promise.As far as the past posts go, I'm gonna leave them and if anybody tells me to take them down, I will. Hopefully they will realize I'm not making any money off there images and am using them in a positive way.

Church
To live in a church has been a dream of mine for many years. This guy Siamak Akhavan had the same idea and to rub it in my face, it's currently for sale for $7,400,000. Pictures from www.thechive.com
