do you know the perils that go into setting up a static i.p.? no?... it should be easy, but then, you lose your username and info for your online router status page, so you spend an hour on tech support hold, in tears, shaving the left side of you face free of hair, dribbling scotch on your shorts, and feeling utterly useless... yep...

i beat, "bully: scholarship edition," this morning, and began work on, "condemned 2: bloodshot."

i'm not entirely sure i'm as into the second condemned game as i should be... it's gorgeous to look at in every aspect, and the controls and story are solid, i'm just not... there i guess.

maybe i need a break before jumping from one game to another.

RECANT

i've since given, "condemned 2," a second shot and... woah momma... amazing. review when beat...

and to think, i've got, "grand theft auto 4," coming the end of this month. that'll be a monster in itself, and i'm feeling indifferent about that game as well.

i've purposely stayed away from trailers, aside from the first two, and video footage of the game, because i want to go into fresh, but there's a part of me that's concerned. excited sure, but concerned it won't live up to the previous installments. pre-rockstar jitters i suppose...

i've re-discovered another mel gibson directed film i loved and long forgot until recently. "man without a face." sheer brilliance. pure and true. plain and simple.

i've nothing much else to write. i'll be twenty-eight this wednesday. i'd like to get laid???

terminator 3, bully, and other pop-culture crap.


the past few days have been nice. well, not so much the days, work, but the evenings.

now, before i'm chastised by any of you, i want to state beforehand, i bought it because it was a dollar, and having said that, i have to say, if you strip it of it's actors, and simply published it as a book, "terminator 3: rise of the machines," wouldn't have been as much a trainwreck as everyone thought it to be.

i didn't hate the film, storywise, though the plotholes here and there were more than a little concerning, but did hate everything else as stated.

nick stahl is a good actor, but, just not the way i envision a more adult john conner to be.

claire danes... well... fuck her. i've never liked the bitch.

and arnold. not so good as a character he's doing for the third go around. i think i am just more in likened to the passive, and gentle terminator that judgement day gave me as a 12 year old kid.

bully: scholarship edition on the 360 continues to consume my life immensely... it's so much more, dare i say, breathtaking, the second go around on a more polished system like the 360, rather than the ps2 that i beat it on a year ago.

and for some reason, this go around, is going much quicker, considering there;s eight more missions, and all the classes and side craps they've packed onto the disc. i'm breezing through it, and loving it.

i also have decided that, "turok," is a game i want to experience on the 360. the more i read about it, and the more video footage i see, i salivate. i have to pick that up on payday i think.

started reading, "my boring ass-life," kevin smith's diary. funny stuff, and boring. go figure.

i am so ready for friday... and i really have an inkling to see, "the last temptation of christ," again.

...oh, and i've had frank sinatra's, "mack the knife," stuck in my head all day. every where i went, i was crooning the frigging thing...

drawing maps.


i miss hanging out with skyler. i do... and when i listen to all my drawing maps demos, i get sad with reminiscence.

the re-doing of, "day of the dead," was terrible. and i know that with that statement, people would state it as the obvious with most remakes, but to be honest, i don't have a problem with re-doing a film, just don't call it a remake. call it a new take or re-imagining. i liked the updated versions of, texas chainsaw, and dawn, but this... wow.

the original, "day of the dead," has always ranked as my favorite of the romero dead series. and it indicated the plot with the title. day. this, "remake," takes place at night. huh?

nick cannon plays the token black know-it-all. mena suvari dims with all her gigantic forehead glory, as a headstrong g.i. jane type.

the make-up effects looked ridiculous, and when did zombies start running as fast as cars and walking on ceilings? they're dead, and physically they couldn't move at that speed if their flesh was rotting and rigamortis was setting in.

how hard is it to make a decent zombie film? in the seventies, eighties, and early nineties we had many gems. what happened...?

speaking of the resurrected, happy easter. my day will be spent eating mac and cheese and a tuna melt. whoopie.

what grinds my gears is how, i'm playing the shit out of, "bully: scholarship edition," on 360, and enjoying it quite a bit to be honest, but then, have to go through the new classes that weren't in the previous ps2 version that i beat a year ago.

classes like: music, biology, math, and geography. basically, classes i fucking hated when i was in school myself... they really detract from the fun of the story because they're hard in the sense that they're time restricted with very little time, and i forgot most of the shit i learned ten years ago, so i have to retreat to the internet for help on some thing's. geography especially... you never fully understand how dumb you are until a videogame slaps you in the face with what should be common knowledge.

i watched the alternate cut of, "i am legend," and honestly, i enjoyed it more than the theatrical version. really it's the same film with a different ending, and the ending makes all the difference for me as opposed to the theatrical.

i got a copy of the, "day of the dead," remake. i'll write about that when i watch it.

watching, "hot fuzz," again, and i honestly feel the next dvd's i buy, are going to be the 3 disc version of that, and the sergio leone anthology boxset that includes 2 disc extended cuts of, "duck you sucker," "a fistful of dollars," "for a few dollars more," and, "the good, the bad, and the ugly." all amazing films that i could watch endlessly.

ghosts I-IV.

my back feels like it was used in a bruise war. it aches and creaks, and the only thing keeping it tamed is the muscle relaxers, and the soothing heat pad i got from the doctor.

i did grab the new nine inch nails albums, "ghosts I-IV."

all instrumental, all very well done. i've said it before, reznor's strength is in his music. his earlier lyrics and vocals, pre-with teeth era were great, but after that, it all went downward for me, but musically, he's flawless. this is some of the most beautiful piano work i've heard since the fragile days.

finished season eight of, "married with children," and am ready to embark on the alternate cut of, "i am legend."

eyeboogers sticking together in harmony.


it's around two in the morning, and i've got wicked heartburn that woke me up. i skip one day on accident of taking my nexium, and i pay for it with this painful acid reflux offshoot...

i guess now's as good a time as any to write...

the new, "panic at the disco," is different. not bad, just needs a few more listens to... never thought i'd be a panic at the disco sorta guy...

in the short day i've been back online, i've managed to catch up on lewis black's show, "root of all evil," i finally got the alternate cut of, "i am legend," as well as, "justice league: the new frontier." i missed the net.

games i'm currently playing back to back:

-the godfather. [good, not great.]
-condemned 2: bloodshot. [better than the first in every way, and i really had my doubts towards this one.]
-bully: scholarship edition. [now that they put the glitches fix patch online, it's great. more polished than the original, and new missions and classes. though i'm not a fan of the biology class. not enough time to dissect.]

game i want badly to play:

-LOST: via domus.
-dark sector.
-army of two.

it's been almost a week since i've been alone in the house. just me and the dog, and i'd be lying if i said i missed having roomates. i love this feeling of being alone. i love no noise in the house except mine.

getting to sleep is easier now.

the kids in the hall are coming to orlando in may and there's a part of me that hopes the house doesn't sell by then, because i want desperatley to not only see them, but meet bruce mcculloch as well.

there and back again... i last three months.

three months is how long it took before i tied an ethernet cable around my arm to spike some veins for the heroin cable.

nothing grand has happened really.

i fucked up my back, and have been off work the past week.

my house is on the market, waiting to be sold so i can leave florida.

the trailer for, "the lost boys 2: the tribe," actually looks kinda decent.

condemned 2 is an amazing game.

LOST season four owns.

the new gnarls barkley is amazing...

now, i go lay down.

other forms of fun.


why not buy one of the many items i need, and give it to me for being awesome?...
