Seriously, don't.I think the time has come for me to revive this blog back to it's former glory, so I think I am going to start posting again.<br />

We will see if I can maintain it, but I think I probably can.

M. G. :(I am a huge AC/DC fan. Huge. I have every album, I can play large chunks of many of the songs, I have the DVD set, everything. They aren't quite my favorite band of all time, but they are pretty close. Now, I have a friend who hates AC/DC and would argue that they are everything that is wrong with rock and roll. He and I disagree strongly on that point of view, but I can guarantee with absolute certainty that he would view this video as I do: An abomination in the eyes of the Lord.

I don't want them to go away, I just want them to be more interesting. Every once in awhile something comes out that gets everyone all excited, but for the most part, horror movies and slasher flicks all follow the same tired formula:<br /><br />1. Cast a bunch of hot chicks that are nobodies and one or two hot chicks that have some street cred.<br /><br />2. Repeat with some dudes. One, possibly two of those dudes must be black.<br /><br />3. Have the entire group somehow inter-relate to each other regardless of the social or economic unlikelihood of this happening.<br /><br />4. Kill one, possibly both of the black dudes. Also, one or two of the hot chicks.<br /><br />5. Let the nerdy dude survive just long enough to impress upon one of the other hot chicks that he is worthy of her attention. In movies, as in life, once this beachhead has been established crushing disappointment (in this case, horrible death) will overwhelm him and push him back into the sea.<br /><br />6. The known actors will make out.<br /><br />7. Possibly both will make it, more likely just one. In any event, the monster/murderer will get "killed"<br /><br />8. If more than forty-three dollars was made at the box office, start pumping out sequels.<br /><br />9. Repeat. Endlessly.<br /><br />However, I have come up with a concept that is not only relatively new, but I believe would also be interesting. Show the movie from the perspective of the monster. Seriously, hasn't anyone wondered what Freddy or Jason or Michael do in their spare time? I mean, they aren't always killing, right? It takes some time to plan out these attacks, so there have to be days where absolutely no slaughter occurs.<br /><br />It's like NASCAR, really. Dale Earnhardt Jr. doesn't just race and make ads. He also sleeps, reads his mail, looks at the Internet, goes out to eat, and makes sweet, passionate love to groupies. I am better actual seat-time for Junior only takes up maybe 10-20 hours of his week. Therefore, it must be that Freddy, when not sticking his finger-knives through the supple flesh of teenage virgins, does something.<br /><br />Therein lies the plot of the movie. Perhaps you show Freddy sitting around his apartment in hell playing x-box. He notices that there are all these sleeping bastards on whom he can exact his vengeance, but he just decides to make some popcorn and enjoy the new Halo. Perhaps he also enjoys painting or walking his dog or something similarly pedestrian. If nothing else, you gotta figure the guy reads or something. I assume it's something crappy like the Necronomicon, but still.<br /><br />In any event, make something different and I will probably watch it.Timbohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16003074567212772158noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8478497792016191976.post-32257428933309818112010-08-01T17:44:00.000-07:002010-08-01T17:44:52.625-07:00Chocolate DavidOne of my favorite artists ever is this guy named Phil Hansen.

Mainly (which is to say entirely), this is because I just haven't had the time, nor any good ideas. Rather than let this just sit, I am debating on just quitting the blog for a period of time.<br /><br />In fact, the debate isn't so much whether or not to quit blogging, but instead for how long I should quit. For now, I think you can expect TWWOT to be dead for at least another month or so. If I fire it up again then, it will probably stay up. If I don't, well, who knows. Maybe never again.<br /><br />In any case, this blog has been a lot of fun, and if I can come up with some more good ideas, I want to keep writing. For now, lets just say I need a sabbatical! Anyway, feel free to check in now and again, and if the outpouring of tears that me quitting for a little while is big enough, maybe I will start it up again sooner rather than later.<br /><br />Thanks everyone for reading my stuff! I hope to be back soonish!Timbohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16003074567212772158noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8478497792016191976.post-55247096881923579202009-05-01T20:10:00.001-07:002009-05-01T20:11:51.108-07:00All Hail LoganIn honor of the new and, I assume, totally awesome Wolverine movie, I present you with the following video.

I mean, I recognize the fact that Stevie Wonder is something of a legend, but that doesn't mean that he hasn't put out some horrible, horrible music. Still, "Superstition" is about as fly a song as there is. When people ask me why I don't like modern R&B, I can point to this song and say "Because it is nowhere near as good as this." and be totally, unequivocably correct. No one in today's R&B scene can make a song better than this. No one. Not the funk, not the groove, not the voice. I am certain that there are a few modern singers who are able to sing along with it perfectly, but no one can make this song better or cooler, which is possibly the highest compliment I can think of for a song. That isn't to say that something cool doesn't come out once in awhile these days, but for the most part, it seems that R&B has been relegated to quasi-romantics who try to look street singing scales about getting laid. Obviously, I think that sucks, and I stand by that opinion.<br /><br />Anyway, close your eyes and kick some mad flava in ya ear, my babies.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/KIisE34Dfdo&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/KIisE34Dfdo&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Timbohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16003074567212772158noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8478497792016191976.post-67359339268886042482009-03-28T17:13:00.003-07:002009-03-28T17:16:37.926-07:00Evidently shark fin soup is really, really good.I have eaten a lot of weird stuff in my day, but I have to confess that I have never eaten shark fin soup.

No rednecks were permanently harmed in the making of this video.<br /><br />As I said in that post, and as I will say in this post, blowing stuff up is awesome. Unless you are a terrorist or the Unabomber, in which case you are teh suxxorz. So, restated less crazily, recreational demolition with no criminal malice intended or delivered is awesome. Anyhoo, what is even better than blowing stuff up personally is watching others blow stuff up.

I have nothing against <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Trekkies</span>. You want to dress up and learn a made up language in your spare time (of which, apparently, you have plenty.), what do I care? It's not like you are out slinging crack or bathing in puppy blood or something.<br /><br />With that being said, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Trekkies</span> have an annoying habit of going way overboard. Take, for example, this video. This is a review of a movie that isn't even going to release for another month and a half, and will almost surely do a bazillion dollars worth of business world wide. This guy acknowledges that, but by Romulus, he found something that for him is a major issue. Observe:<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sakwRvZqe_c&color1=0x333366&color2=0x666699&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/sakwRvZqe_c&color1=0x333366&color2=0x666699&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />Really? In a movie that features a molecular transportation device, aliens and, you know, intergalactic <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">starships</span>, you are angry because the San Francisco of the 24<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">th</span> century appears to be too big? Really? To prove your point, you show a picture of San Francisco 100 years ago, a time when buildings were made entirely with hand tools and people still thought of automobiles as something handcrafted by Satan? Dude, you can't compare the 24<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">th</span> century to the 19<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">th</span>. I mean, there is a big difference between a hammer and nails and a neutron hammer and laser nails, let alone the massive army of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">constructobots</span> that I assume are responsible for all construction and city planning.<br /><br />Ignoring that flaw in your logic, can I also point out that you are the type of nerd that ruins things for other nerds? Look, there are potentially thousands of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Trekkies</span> out there that would have watched this movie with complete satisfaction (other than wondering why James Tiberius Kirk looks like one of the Twilight Vampires), and now, they are all going to stomp out the theater upon viewing a potentially disproportional future city by the bay.<br /><br />Thank you, on behalf of them, from me, jerk.Timbohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16003074567212772158noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8478497792016191976.post-46800103112278611502009-03-17T21:10:00.005-07:002009-03-17T21:32:42.098-07:00Comic Books: Rad or Sad?So, I really like comic books. Honestly, I probably like them too much considering that I have often (as recently as all the time) contemplated what the ultimate set of superpowers for me would be. In fact, they say the average dude thinks about getting they swerve on something like every 10 seconds. I think about getting <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">freakadelic</span> about every 15 seconds, but I consider the relative merits of flight over underwater breathing every 6 seconds. Clearly, I have issues.<br /><br />Now, with all that being said, one line that I won't cross is <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">cosplay</span>. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Cosplay</span>, if you aren't <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">nerdily</span> aware is defined by <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Wikipedia</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">thusly</span>: "<b><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Cosplay</span></b>, short for "costume play",<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosplay#cite_note-0" title=""><span>[</span>1<span>]</span></a></sup> is a type of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performing_arts" title="Performing arts">performance art</a> whose participants outfit themselves, with often-elaborate <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costumes" title="Costumes" class="mw-redirect">costumes</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessories" title="Accessories" class="mw-redirect">accessories</a>, as a specific <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character" title="Character">character</a>". That sounds like a sure recipe for lonely nights spent in your moms basement playing D&D and wondering which one of your friends is going to see boobies before they turn 40, right?<br /><br />Not so, friends. As it turns out, there are plenty of hot chicks that dress up in comic book clothes and go out in public. I suppose the jury is still out on whether or not they actually associate with dudes whose only apparent power is to avoid sunlight and cultivate acne, but it kind of makes sense there would have to be at least a little common ground, right? Well, whatever the case is, I say godspeed, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Cosplaya</span>. You couldn't get me out of the house in costume for love or money, but if that's what rings your bell, I say more power to you. Don't believe me? Take a look for yourself.

It's fun posting music, but it seems like that is all I am doing. Frankly, I am thinking of making a music only blog in which I post a video or two a week of different stuff I like. Whatever.<br /><br />This post is simple: Watch the video and consider it from different perspectives. Post your opinion. I don't care if you think it sucks or rules, as much as I am just curious to see the reaction. Personally, if I look at it as a tribute to Johnny Cash that was done for fun, I kind of like it. Not love it, just like it. If I look at it any other way, it is pretty horrible. Watching the video, I get the distinct impression that Everlast did this song because he likes Johnny Cash, wanted to do something in tribute, and decided to have some fun with it instead of being all serious and tributey about it.<br /><br />Also, notice the girl at 1:34. She totally has a "What the hell is going on here" look about her that makes me laugh.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zmt6OyRqb8A&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zmt6OyRqb8A&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Timbohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16003074567212772158noreply@blogger.com6
