KEEP A LOOK OUT

So I'm trying to find a 1984 Optimus Prime AM Radio. I had one and it went up in flames during the fire. Completely melted. I had it since I was a young kid and I'm trying to buy it back. Unfortunately it costs 125 bucks on ebay! Below is the link. If anyone happens to come across it in a rummage sale or something (for cheap) pick it up and I'll pay ya back. Thanks!

Ebay overpriced Optimus Prime

Memorial Day Weekend

It's been a long LONG weekend this Memorial Day 2008. It all started off with Liz' Graduation!

Liz graduated cum laude and received several awards as well. Check out the poorly shot photos from Graduation here

Seton Hall Graduation 2008

Liz law-school pal Jane gave an excellent speech as well. Much better than the douche who introduced her.

Saturday, I got my Wii Fit on in the morning and then me and Liz hit the shore house. First order of business...getting new Bikes! Both me and Liz got Hampton Cruisers, Liz of course got pink and I got khaki (see pic).



At night me and Liz went to Pt. Pleasant to the boardwalk (obviously). We played some mini-golf and hit up the skeeball. After skeeball I found my new favorite game. Deal or No Deal! I hate the show but the game was fun and borderline mathematical. Using basic statistics and assume the computer didn't cheat, I won over 2500 points. Too bad I lost the receipt of our totally point score later.

Sunday we hit the beach, rode our bikes a little, and Whitney & Jason came down to hang out, eat, and go out for drinks.

Monday, more biking, little beach (I left because it was crazy windy only to go home and do work), and see Indy 4 for a 2nd time. Why? BECAUSE IT'S INDIANA F*CKING JONES!

That was our weekend. Now time to get a DJ for the wedding. We got a photographer already (Abacus Studios) so now we're moving on down the long list of things to do.

Incase you forgot...

Carlos Mencia is NOT FUNNY.

Indy 4, Wii Fit, and no more dentist!

Wednesday was incredibly busy for me. Lots happened.

I picked up Wii Fit and of course I'm fat and 36 years old according to it. Screw You Nintendo. I don't really what to say about other than it's interesting and does feel like a work out. I put in about 40 minutes and I'm going to try and do 30-40 minutes every day I don't go to the gym. The procrastinator that I am won't start until Tuesday of course. :)

I'm finally done with the dentist. My tooth is new and shinny, I can eat with both sides of my mouth, and no more pain....except for the bill.

Went to see Indy 4 at midnight. I loved it but I can understand why people would hate it. I'd think they're a little short-sighted or maybe just stuck up. Relax, it's supposed to be fun.

I'll be sure to have a nice big juicy post after Memorial Day. But for now, I leave you with a link to the concert I'm going to see tonight.

PAGAN FEST

Mallah and Brain

Very few know the love of monkey and brain in a robot. Mallah and Brain are two of those few.

Awesome Animation

Double Viking 3 Great Videos!

Jesus catches a dude watching porn

Bill O'Reilly goes batshit on Inside Edition.

Sue Simmons drops the bomb

Also, the New York Post has an article about claiming Sue Simmons is a drunk. Check their website, I don't have the link on me.

GTA IV isn't all that. Yahtzee agrees.

He finds it more fun than I did, maybe all the small problems he points out just bug me more or maybe I'm not interested in senseless violence...naaaaa.

Batman vs Iron Man

Guitar Hero 3 Les Paul Guitar woes

So I bought the wireless Les Paul guitar from RedOctane's website and guess what, it didn't work properly. The damn star-power sensor was crazy. I e-mail to get it replaced, and they of course accept but then make me pay for shipping. Now, maybe I'm going overboard but if you send me something that's broken, I expect you to take the damn thing back and swallow the cost of sending me broken garbage. If I didn't have the Rock Band guitar so much, I would've asked for a refund but now that $10 I saved from buying from their website is gone. I got the guitar back and it works better now. It's still not perfect, like my original one before the fire, but good enough I guess. I just don't want to keep shipping back and forth this P.O.S. built product and loose more money.

Also, GH3 stinks, the difficulty level is absurd compared to Rock Band. I play for fun, not to be a black belt judo master at plastic guitar button mashing. No chance I'm buying the Aerosmith version and the newly announced Rock Band ripoff aka Guitar Hero 4 can kiss my ass. Let me stop before I come off as an uber-angry fanboy and talk about something good.

I got a new softball glove! The one my dad got me last year burned really good so I needed a new one and it came quick! Sports Authority online gets a good mark in my book.

Next thing coming up...buying back the 250+ comics I lost..........ugh.

Boom Blox > GTA IV

Where I was totally disappointed by GTA IV, Boom Blox has blown me away on how pure and fun it is!

BOOM BLOX

Wii and Wedding stuff.

My Wii comes today from Nintendo along with all my games, the Gamecube, and my DS! I don't know what's fixed, not fixed, damaged, etc but I have high hopes and I can't wait to play Mario Kart Wii and Boom Blox. I return GTA IV because it stinks and is boring. I saw Iron Man again with Liz for free and finally saw the secret after-credit scene with Samuel L. Jackson and the fanboy in me had a heart-attack. Just the thought of what it suggests makes me want freeze my body and awaken when it comes to fruition, which I'm sure probably won't happen. BUT WHO KNOWS!

Me and Liz booked a photographer, DJ, and videographer last night. We're currently unbooking them now due to some poor online reviews. They're called "The Pros" and don't use them. They are incredibly cheap but very "corporate".

I got a new bottom retainer and I gotta wear it full time for 2 weeks. It hurts.

Liz is finally done with exams so I actually get to hang out with my fiancee which is nice.

That's about it, the condo association has more gift cards for us and more photos from the inside of the condo taken by engineers a couple days after the fire. I'll post those over the weekend.

Iron Man Review ... and a not-smelly jacket.

So, Iron Man was Awesome. There's my review. If you don't want to see it, then I don't understand why we're friends at all because obviously you make poor life decisions. The film really was able to hit every mark. It was funny, serious, scary, action-packed, and incredibly enjoyable. The film also did an excellent job staying away from certain comic cliches while still keeping some. Heck, there's even a twist ending. Fanboys will rejoice too, for there are plenty of little comic references and secrets only one with deep Marvel knowledge will know. In order to be fair, I guess I should point out the negative. There was probably a total of 2 cheesy lines in the film, maybe 3 and you can always have more action but I didn't think there wasn't enough. I just left wanting MORE.

I just realized there is a surprise after the credits I missed so I'm going to see it again with Liz.

Side-note: I'm wearing a "rejected" jacket today and it actually fits fine, not discolored, and doesn't smell....much.

Iron Man and Video Games

Going to see Iron Man tonight! I'm totally excited unlike everyone I know (except Karl and Renee, they're excited and much cooler than my otherwise dense ugly friends). Also I'm going alone, which wouldn't be the first time. Remember the Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie? Of course you don't, because you didn't go with me, you being everyone.

I got GTA, I'm not impressed. I might trade it in for Wii Fit or Iron Man, we'll see...

Nintendo is shipping back my repaired items TODAY! I can't believe it, they are awesome. I love Nintendo.
