...AND JANUARY COMES TO A CLOSE

JANUARY IN REVIEW

Hello my friends, cohorts and those that aren't either...Today I'm smooth like hardwood floors...after someone decides to use lemon Pledge on the floor that's right in front of the doorway so that when you wake up and are making a mad dash to the restroom, you slip and fall on your Pale and Fat Mexican Ass...Hello New Year, I guess I'll be your bitch too...

HOLY CRAP...my sister is getting married!!!....and I believe the next sign of the Apocalypse is the Four Horsemen regroup and go on a

Hello my friends, cohorts and those that aren't either...Today I'm smooth...like a pick-up line...

Why are Native Americans called Native Americans when they were Native before there was an America?

A small boy was lost at a large shopping mall.  He approached a uniformed policeman and said, "I've lost my grandpa!" The cop asked, "What's he like?" The little boy replied, "Jack Daniels and women with big tits".

No I can't hide from myself...I have tried and I always come to the same conclusion...apparently I'm a really good tracker because I find myself every time.

a pharmaceutical laced touch to combat the unfriendly touch of time...and memories.

I rarely feel lost, more like misplaced in familiar surroundings.  Like a smile on a tear stained face.  I always found that disturbing.  Or I could be missing, without a trace. Running from the hand I'm holding.  I rarely feel lost.  But sometimes, I wish I was escaping the thoughts in my head that need erasing.  Or it could be that I'm not lost at all, it's just that I haven't been found yet.

Your words are like scalpels, cutting through the pristine to expose the the torment that lies just below the skin...thank you for sharing.

"Your enemy is never a villain in his own eyes. Keep this in mind; it may offer a way to make him your friend. If not, you can kill him without hate--and quickly." - Robert Heinlein from the book "Time Enough For Love"

Thank you for putting into words, the desolation some of us feel often.

I believe that we are supposed to remember the joy of youth and embrace life with the same fervor.  I hope that the lessons of youth have taught us which path to take.  I pray that the dreams of youth continue to fuel the people we have become.  I believe that acting like children is never the problem.  I believe that acting childish is.

Your words, carefully crafted as they are, continue to open my eyes to new perspectives through your perceptions.

My dark and stormy night was, an insanely humid day, when others lost faith and trust in the man I was and for the first time I saw the sickened creature hiding behind the facade of my creation.

..What do I know of Life?
Life is...
just, unjust, difficult and easy
fair, unfair, spiteful and forgiving
too long, too short, finished or unfinished
A collection of moments strung together in a fragile mosaic
the past we reflect on, the present that passes by
where you started and where you end up
the dreams we strive and hope
beautiful, ugly, joyous, tragic
Life is...
What do I know of Life.

I believe no memory good or bad is ever truly forgotten or erased.  To dwell on either is akin to swimming in the vastness of the ocean drowning in glory days or in moments of misery.  But every new experience whether good or bad keeps you moving, towards the shores of living

One could accomplish everything they have ever wanted to do and their life would never be complete. That is the curse of those that spend their time looking towards the heavens and not on the path at their feet.

I welcome those negative people with open arms.  If it wasn't for all the people who have told me what I couldn't do, then I wouldn't have tried so hard to prove them wrong.  And I wouldn't have known what I had been capable of all this time.

I am saddened by the gifts I'll never get to give to the person that "was not there"...and thank you for reminding me...that I am not the only one who feels this way

Awesome Quote of the Moment - "For newcomers, Warren's Rule: if Warren has been awake less than 2 hours, it is Morning, no matter what the clock says." - Warren Ellis

TWO

Two beings reside in the same skin.

One, who was once called a saint
And the other made of sin.

One can't win to lose.
The other can't lose to win.

The continuation of a simple thought,

The grown man whose childhood was lost too soon,
It's the future that's sought.

Too young the boy was forced to think like a man,
In his heart the battle for control is fought.

Two souls share the same space.

The first so bitter and angry.
While the other hides his tear stained face.

The future is already scary, but what to do,
When the past is hidden away without a trace.

This tale has been mine, never to tell.

A forced bout of laughter is how I kept you away,
While my plastic smile, becomes my prison, my cell.

Don't you worry because everything is fine, everything is good,
It's those lies that grow like a cancerous hell.

Two entities share the same core.

One covered in callouses and hardened blood,
The other protect the wounds, that still remain sore.

The words you used on the child within,
Still haunt him as he pleads over and over "Please no more!"

The body of a man and the damaged child therein.

One begs for the pain to be over,
The other prays for the healing to begin.

Both souls expand and amass in me,
And what I fear most is which will lose and which will win.

Two beings reside in the same skin.


One, who was once called a saint
And the other made of sin.

MOVIE REVIEWS 7

You know what has always bugged me?  Movie reviews that take a "I'm so
much smarter than you" route.  Every movie review I have ever read
takes this approach.  They sit there and with a fine tooth comb and
condemn every aspect of the movie or they praise the intellectual
aspects of this cinematic experience.

Me, I just want a simple
review.  Did the movie achieve it's goal.  How was the acting?  Was the
script/story any good.  Was the movie entertaining.  Add a positive
comment.  Add a negative comment.  Finally make a simple scale and rate
that movie accordingly.

It's not asking for much.

Reading a movie review shouldn't have to be a chore.

So let's make that scale

   1.  Punch me in the FACE, because that's gonna be better than this movie.
   2.  I will never watch the movie again
   3.  Did I actually pay to see this?
   4.  I wish I saw it on cable.
   5.  I'll only watch it if its free on cable.
   6.  Can't find the remote...so I guess I'll watch this
   7.  This is better then the other stuff that's on.
   8.  I will watch the movie again
   9.  I CAN'T WAIT to watch the movie again
 10.  This movie WILL be owned, in any form because it's that damn good!!.

Now let's review some movies...

Inkheart

It's nothing special. Predictable from beginning to end. The characters were generic. Decent story. Terrible pacing. I was not a big fan. Which is too bad, because I wanted to like this movie.

2/5


The Book Of Eli

I expected nothing from this movie. What I got was a 2 hour Mad Max movie that went to church. It was decent. The story wasn't bad and the acting was very good. The pacing was kind of slow. The action sequences were good, although very short.

I can say I was entertained, but if I had paid for it, I would have been let down, immensely.

6/10


The Lovely Bones

This was an odd movie with great acting, great characters, a good story and a cohesive and flowing plot. The problem I had with it was the pacing. It was a slower paced movie, which I have no problems with, but at times it feels like it stalls. It REALLY is a good movie. It just feels like it goes on, and on, and on. Visually the movie is just beautiful. The acting is amazing and Stanley Tucci is just shy of BRILLIANT!! I recommend watching this movie if you're either a fan of Stanley Tucci, Mark Wahlberg or of artsy/indie style films.

8/10


Planet Hulk

A really good Hulk story, with a great interpretation of the character. The story is above average and it has the usual plot twists that you come to expect in most super hero stories. The voice actors were average. and the animation was pretty good. Overall I was not let down. It was a fun ride beginning to end.

8/10

STILL HERE

These are my thoughts.

This is me.
I'm still here.

This is my life.
It's a lot like a rusty blade.
It's not pretty and it's not new.
It's lost it's shine.
It's become dull.
It's dirty and impure.
It's used and brittle.
It's simple.
It's ugly.
It hurts when it cuts.
And it infects the wound.
There's no penicillin.
There's no cure.

These are my thoughts.


This is me.

I'm still here.
Plain.
Boring.
Stupid.
Complex.
Doubtful.

These are my thoughts.

Of this I am certain.

This is me.

I'm still here.

This is me and I'm still here.

THE FACE OF GOD

There are very few things I fear in life, but in death, I have one great fear.

What will happen when I stand across from the face of God?
What will I say to you?
What will you say to me?
I'm afraid of the answers.
I fear the questions you may ask.
I'm also afraid what happens if you don't exist.
What happens then?
Do I just disappear and join the great majority rotting in the earth?
I have faith that you are there.
But what if the faith is a lie?
What if it's just a story made up to help everybody sleep at night?
Are you a fairy tale?

Now don't you all say I'm crazy or that I just need to believe.
Because it's not always enough.
I know.
Maybe I just doubt the truth.
Maybe it's easier to believe if it's a lie.

Can you answer a question?
Will you tell me what you believe in?
Will you tell me the truth when we see each other?
Will I find out the truth when nothing happens after I die?

What will you tell me when were face to face God?
What will you say?
Will you even be there?

JUST

Inside there's a hunger to be something.
I just don't know what.

There's a desire to go someplace.
I just don't know where.

There's a need to be someone.
I just don't know who.

There's a reason for all that I am.
I just can't figure it out.

There's a thought in my head.
I just can't think.

There's a passion in my core.
I just don't know for what.

There's a song in my heart.
I just can't hear the music.

There's a poem in my soul.
I just have no words.

There's a yearning in my very essence.
I just don't know why.

There's a million questions I need to ask.
There's just no one to answer them.

In me, there is a rage, to say something, anything.
and all there is, is just silence.

All around me there is just silence.
and it's deafening.

CALL ME PERFECT

You once said I was perfect.

You said I was invincible, unbendable, unbreakable.
You called me your hero, your strength, your Atlas.
You stated I could not stumble, fall, fail.

You called me perfect.

I'm not.

You said you needed me, relied on me, wanted me.
You asked me to help you, carry you, save you.
You said my shoulders were strong enough for you to lean on, cry on, hold yourself steady on.

You called me perfect.

I'm not.
I wasn't.
I'm weak.
I cried.
I fell.
I stumbled.
I'm unsure.
I hide.
I screamed.
I ran away.
I'm scared.

You called me perfect.

I'm not.

I just wanted to be called "your son."

ONCE

I had it...once.
I touched it.
I loved it.
I lost it.

The anger in my heart replaced it.
The poison in my soul fed it.

My innocence stolen.
My innocence corrupted.

It drove me on.
It fed me.
It burned within me.
It flowed through me.


The anger in my heart replaced it.

The poison in my soul fed it.

My innocence stolen.

My innocence corrupted.

That's life, so I was told.
It made you strong, they said.
It's what you need, they expressed
It's what you deserve, they declared.

I had it...once.

 10.  This movie WILL be owned, in any form because it's that damn good!!.

Now let's review some movies...

The Six Wives Of Henry Lefay (aka My Dad's Six Wives)


This movie starts off kind of slow but after about 10 minutes it was really hard to keep from smiling, giggling, and from full blown laughing at the humor and situations in this movie. It was tasteful, silly and wacky. It had moments of sheer outrage and moments of complete tenderness.

All the characters were believable in their dysfunction. Some of the best comedic acting I have seen in a while. The story was well written (even a little predictable) but it was well paced and it even had a good plot.

I want to call it a romantic comedy, but it seemed more like real life, in the way that family reunions and a holiday get together start and end. Sometimes nothing much happens, and other times it's complete chaos.

It is a fun movie. It's not a bad chick flick. A pretty decent family movie (albeit, they do show 2 naked bottoms).

8/10


Alvin And The Chipmunks: The Squeakuel

This movie is just about the importance of families. Done with some Chipmunk Flair and some Chippettes style. It's a nice wholesome family movie with a lot of great CGI.  Don't expect anything, and you won't be let down.  It is exactly what it is.

7/10


Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs

In a movie that is completely silly and zany, this had something that few movies today have.  It had solid believeable characters, complete with flaws and strengths.  It had a strong, well paced story.  It had moments of tendernesss and vulnerability.  And this my friends is the real kick in the pants.  The silly and zany moments, were used to move the story forward and was essential in character growth.

The actors and actresses were perfect in bringing life to this absurd story.  And I am happy they did so.

Yes the movie is funny.  Yes it is entertaining.  Yes it is a pleasant surprise.  It does all that while giving something entertaining to the kids AND to the adults.

9/10


My Sister's Keeper


This was a little difficult to watch. The reason..the actors and actresses were amazing. The emotions they expressed, at times, were almost tangible. The story itself is a fairly predictable one, although the characters were perfectly cast, and and the filming of each viewpoint really gave the movie an emotional depth.  This movie will tug at you heartstrings, will stoke the anger inside, and it will at times let loose laughter from the soul.  It does all this as the occasional tears slowly fall from your eyes.

10/10

WHAT NEVER WAS

In my dreams...

I've held you as a baby and I watched you grow up.

We shared laughter and tears.

I watched you blow out each and every birthday candle.

I taught you to ride your bike.

I drove you on your first date and kept my fears silent as I trusted your judgment.

The screams, I didn't yell, when you sat behind the wheel.

I was there to pick you up when you fall, wipe away your tears and kiss the boo boo goodbye.

I kept the monsters from under your bed and from your closet at bay.

We talked about sex, love and marriage.

We talked about the importance of trust and the pain that lies cause.

I remember your first step and the first word you spoke.

I answered all of your questions, even the embarrassing ones.

I held your hand.

I showered you with hugs and kisses.

My heart broke just a little bit when you said "I'm too old for that."


But the dream is over and you've gone away.

In the waking world I have never shared those moments; never had those precious memories.

Just empty echoes of dreams.

But when I lay my head down and dream...

WAITING ROOM

Sitting, waiting to hear from you
contemplating what the news may be.
Will it be good?
Will it be bad?
Will I be strong enough to deal with your words?
Or will I crumble?
Can I hold a straight face?
Or will I break down and cry?
Will I read the newspaper to distract myself?
Will I just stare into space?
Will I look for refuge in those around me?
Or will I choose to sit alone?

I see you coming towards me.
Your face emotionless.
I stare at your face.
I see your lips moving.
But I can't hear your voice.
What?
Oh, you just asked me a question.

Your words finally register.
I hear your questions.

I don't understand.
I don't think I do.
I don't want to.
I can't.

You walk away.
Stop.
Please.
Don't leave me sitting here.
Alone.
I was sitting here until I heard from you.

Now I'm sitting here waiting...
and I don't know what to do.

MOVIE REVIEWS 5

So let's make that scale

   1.  Punch me in the FACE, because that's gonna be better than this movie.
   2.  I will never watch the movie again
   3.  Did I actually pay to see this?
   4.  I wish I saw it on cable.

   8.  I will watch the movie again
   9.  I CAN'T WAIT to watch the movie again
 10.  This movie WILL be owned, in any form because it's that damn good!!.

Now let's review some movies...

Family Guy: Something, Something, Something Darkside

Yes
I like Family Guy.  Yes I like Star Wars.  Yes some of the jokes make
the 5, 8, 12 year old in me cry a little bit.  But this was a pretty
good follow up to Blue Harvest.  Blue Harvest will always be a little
bit funnier, being the first with all of the unexpected jokes, spoofs
and commentary, but overall this is really funny. Some of the one
liners are hilarious! I was laughing pretty hard!  With the attention
to detail you can tell these "spoofs" are a labor of love.  And with
the backhanded bitchslap they prove that absolutely nothing is sacred. 
AND THAT MY FRIENDS IS WHAT MAKES GREAT COMEDY!

10/10


Sherlock Holmes

This
film is an over-the-top a holiday action thriller. Despite this, the
plot is devious, romantic, comedic and quite satisfying.  Using great
visual devices such as flashbacks, slowmotion explanation for his
future actions, a few flashforwards and some Oceans 11 style "fill in
the gap" moments really allow us to get into the mind of Holmes and how
others see him. In the end, for every stereotypical action movie
moment, there are indie film style intimate moments.

But what really made the movie for me was three simple things.

  1. Holmes was likable.
  2. Watson was treated like an equal and not the idiot sidekick.
  3. And
    the chemistry of their friendship seemed genuine (which is also a very
    good reason why some of the humorous moments work so well).
This movie is fun and intelligent and well worth the watch.

8/10



Whip It




This
is such a quirky little movie.  The story was OK.  The acting was OK. 
The whole package was OK.  Cameos up the wazoo.  Taken on each
individual factor, there's nothing special about this movie...Yet it
was tons of fun.  If you accept it for what it is, a coming of
age/growing into yourself movie, you will enjoy it.  It's not a great
movie, but it is fun.  This movie won't rewrite cinematic history, but
then again, that's not what I was looking for.  Instead I got exactly
what I expected, and that was to be entertained.



8/10







DAYBREAKERS




This
movie could have been awesome...it could have been great...but it
wasn't.  The idea that the world is dying because of the vampires was
awesome.  Their execution on the other hand was not.  The story was
weak.  The acting was average.  Even the characters showed no
imagination.  They took every stereotype, put a good actor in the role,
and did nothing to make the character believable.  This movie gets
kudos for pushing the envelope, but they should have developed the
story and the characters better.



I give this 3/10

I'M NOT THE SHAPEST TOOL IN THE SHED BUT...

Hello one and all, some and most and yes...even you.  How are my favorite friends and cohorts today?  I really hope you all answered "good" and if you didn't I'm sorry, but remember...in all things, even this shall pass.

Me?  Well...I'm a really confused.

I was looking on the popular blog thing, and I saw something that made me curious.  Keke Palmer has a blog, and she asked...

"Want Me To Text You?"

So being the curious cat I am, I clicked.  She had this "Ad" to sign up on say-now(dot)com and she would send you a daily text message.

OK.

I thought "That is a great way to be interact with your fans."  My curiosity being satisfied, I was about to "arrow back" out of her blog, when I accidentally hit the scroller on my mouse.  And I saw something that just completely blew my mind.

The second comment had a phone number on it.  But not just the second comment but about 90% of the comments had a phone number on it!!!

I know I'm not a smart man nor am I a wise man, but why in the Wide World of Sports would you post that kind of information on Myspace??  I mean c'mon.

Haven't we heard the horror stories about the sickos that stalk that prey on the innocent over the Internet?  Or how about the sickos that hunt this and other social networks for their next victims?  Why on Earth would you make yourself such a willing target?  How many times in the past year has there been some person on the news because they had very bad intentions and because some person got lucky they get caught before anything bad happened.

I don't understand.

Why would you put yourself in harms way?  Is getting a "mass message" from someone who doesn't know you that important.  I've done some stupid things in my life.  I'm not ashamed to say that.  Yes I have done business on Ebay and through Craigslist, and like I said before...I know I'm not a smart man nor am I a wise man...but I made sure I at least protected myself as much as humanly possible.

I just don't get it.

I guess the last thing I can say is this...

HEY STUPID, THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD WHO WANT TO HURT/STEAL/ABUSE/MOLEST/KILL YOU.  STOP MAKING IT EASY FOR THEM!!!!!!

And my friends, with that I pass.

2009 IN REVIEW...FACEBOOK STYLE...pt 3

I wanted to do a year in review type thingy, but the first half of the year was very dark for me, and I didn't do very much.  After June
though, there was a small sliver of light, guiding me out of my darkness.

That's where this begins.  I have written a lot of crap on Facebook, that I thought it would be fun to start from the beginning and share all of the idiosyncratic bull s**t that rolls around in my head.  So lets go and see what my year has been like...in Facebook style.

Now this last segment of my year in review is a another peek into the crap that spins around in my head.  You might not get it, or then again you might NOT want to get it...but then again you might.  So here is the last installment for 2009 IN REVIEW...and my MOMENTS OF INSANITY...and as usual I am so sorry to all of you for this...

MOMENTS OF INSANITY...

I want to spend my days practicing to be a dirty old man. And I want to spend my nights putting that practice to use in real world settings.

I am not completely sure what, exactly, I would or wouldn't do for a Klondike Bar, but I would really like to see what all of my options are.

I got '10 Seconds'!!!

I feel so retarded right now, that I'm very much considering getting a helmet from the garage & that window looks like it needs a good lick.

Hahahaa, Mind Eraser

Damn straight...I Give Love a Bad Name...oh wait that aint a compliment

Since when does my fat a$$ attract girls that have homework...that's just gross...

I rode in a cop car today! In the front seat and not in the back! This made me happy! He wouldn't turn on the lights or the siren. This mad me sad. :(

I crave a microwaveable bean burrito, a BAWLS Guarana drink, a cigarette, and nibbly bits.

Hot Damn!!! I knew I was evil!! Thas right...*doing the Milli Vanilli dance*

That's awesome...I'm always this animal....when I jump in the shower

I don't think my brain is awake.

Heh...I know my chicks and broads...BTW this was a joke...sheesh

An attack womb would come in handy,
on grass & in the air,
An attack womb would be nifty,
over here, over there.
I wish I had an attack womb

DAAAAMN I JUST SUCK!!!! *handing over my star wars geek card*

I AM A GOD!!!! LMAO *taking back my star wars geek card*

Sadly this was a real conversation yesterday....
Him-"She's so hot!"
Me-"Dude she's an amazon, she can kick your ass!"
Him-"I know, just like Xena."
Me-"Dude She's so hot!"

OH SWEET AND MERCIFUL ZEUS!!!! That's me now!!! I am going to be one cranky SOB thas fo suuure. heh heh

Have you ever noticed that on a very good day, Frito's Corn Chips smell just like day old sweaty feet?

If Jesus loves me...why did he keep beating me up in grade school. Jesus was a mean kid...oh that was "Hey Zeus"...sorry Jesus, my bad!!

I will stab nuns and children with a rusty trombone for a RED BULL! Oh, no need to worry, I found one. The nuns and kids are safe...for now!

LMAO...actually I read the phrase on someones blog. And then I googled it after I used it here. I was shocked to see what it actually meant.

WOW, I guess I really enjoy watching myself talk...*backing away slowly from the keyboard*

I suck

I still SUCK!!

It's Tuesday, I'm on my last diet Coke, out of Red Bull and only 3 cigarettes left. This is not looking good. Not looking good day at all.

Wow...that's strangely accurate

OMG...that really is a corny line

Well, it is unfortunate, but I must rejoin the analog world and walk away from this digital domain. Be well, be free, be happy!

Good afternoon, friends...romans, and countrymen. I am Jose and sadly, these are my thoughts....... Have you ever noticed that most of the things you want are just a little out of reach, but all the things you need are already in your hands?

I was asked last night what kind of girl I look for...
Me-"Well, I'm looking for a desperate blind woman with loose morals."
Her-"You know you won't find someone like that on the internet."
Me-"Why?"
Her-...
Me-"oh yeah blind...internet...I think I swallowed a bug."

You know there is something scary, odd and reassuring that people remember you...or me.

Goodnight ladies and gentlemen, I'll waste more of your Facebook page tomorrow with more nonsense, gibberish and maybe some nugget of wisdom.

Good Morning one & all, or at least some & most, I am Jose, & my brain just threw up a little in my head, & all I got was this lousy t-shirt

This is going to be a good day!!!

And with that, good night my friends

I was just thinking...does anyone look back at pictures from high school and go "That was a great hair do"?

Aquanet was just a fine mist lacquer, in a spray can. I still shudder everytime I walk by it in the store.

What is on my mind? The uncontrollable desire for a Ponza Rotta, to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women. Oh crap...I think I'm thinking of Conan again. The Barbarian, not the O'brien.

I'm thinking of greasy goodness, and blood and guts...my god, can this night get any better"??

Does the devil always have "one hell of a day?"

If you drive by Target & you don't stop, does that mean you missed, your aim is off or it means absolutely nothing because this joke is lame.

Does anyone else have Hanson's Mmmbop in their heads right now? Because I do, and suddenly I feel like strangling some small blond children.

Damn woman!!...I think you've gotten MORE evil, as time passes...

Completely useless thought of the day...I would rather hang out with sinners than saints...only because the sinners dress way cooler, and by cooler I mean nekkid! Yay SINNERS!

Just bought a case of Amp energy. The locals look at me strangely. But the guy who spent $1000 on beer doesn't even get a second glance, hmm

Have fun...I would say I'm interested, but the last time I went camping it was at the Holiday Inn

"bake them cookies, lucille!!"

Because Bacon is not only a yummy food item...IT'S A YUMMY WEAPON TOO!!!

Welcome back to the land of air conditioning...and expensive electric bills

OK I have to say this...I've tried not say it for the last 14 hours unfortunately my will is week...So head...ass...so hard to tell them apart! Sorry, I tried to hold it back

No, but then again I live in a state of blissful ignorance

Jose completed the quiz "What stereotype do you fit?" with the result "Loner". - Woo hoo! I can't wait to tell all my friends...oh daamn!

I am such a geek. I am following Mal and Kaylee from Firefly, Dru and Tara from Buffy TVS, Phoebe from Charmed, Parker,  and Elliot from Leverage...SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

My inner geek hunts down tv/movie stars and wrestlers on twitter, reads comics and watches a lot of anime. Sadly my "inner Geek" started back before high school.

Did I mention Y2J, Maria, Eve, and Jeff Hardy...SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

The geek in me just wet himself...the NOT geek in me is pissed off at the geek in me. I have to many people in my head.

I guess I don't know my willy as well as I thought I did. - How Well Do You Know Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Jose beat 39% of all users who took this quiz!

crazy happy? yeah baby yeah!!

I can't believe I am still all SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! Over the people I am following on twitter. Owwww!!! The NOT geek in me just kicked me the nether regions. I am thinking the NOT geek in me is pretty mean.

WOW! A brainstorm just hit...maybe I should stop arguing with myself in such a public forum. People may think I am crazy

and not the cool "Ozzy biting the head off a bat" crazy but the uncool "I shot Reagan to get Jodie Fosters attention" crazy.

Actually i deleted the first set of "crazy actions". I don't know how many children read over parents shoulders and I didn't want to be the reason for lil ones to go up to moms and dads and asking questions like..."What's a dirty sanchez?" or "what does he mean when he says doggie tiles aren't just for floors anymore?"

All this is more proof that I NEED A LIFE!!!

amber_benson - "Thanks for the follow - looking forward to your tweets!" SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! p.s. Amber Benson was Tara on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and she wrote this very cool book called Death's Daughter p.s.p.s. S

OH SNAP!!! I thinks Jose has a brand new internet toy!!! *giggle giggle*

I must go & face the real world. But I'll do it without my make up. It's an ugly world & I'll show it UGLY. I'm glad it's not a stinky world

Today has had too many emotional ups & downs. I wish I could go back to the old way of dealing with this. Sadly it's better this way *sigh*

sleepy time...good night internet, good night twitter, good night facebook, and good night john boy

I'm watching this vid & suddenly I feel tears on my cheeks. I'm crying and I Haven't a reason why http://bit.ly/ildk6

It is 9:16 AM and I can't believe I'm awake...what?...PM?...HUH?...really, the whole day?...Wow....*ahem* It is 9:16 PM and I can't believe I slept through an entire day! BE JEALOUS!! I just wish it was a crappier day to sleep through...

LMAO...well at least you didn't get the ones who apparently lose the ability to steer straight when using blue tooth...they usually wake the wrath of "the one hand steering, one hand flipping them off, while screaming obscenities that make the paint peel" beast.

yeah...but did you jump the sharks, like Fonzie did??

I hate misclicking...stupid 1/16 of an inch difference...

Really? I'm Giles? How come they don't mention "Ripper" at all?

Getting bored with radio and the non-mtv channel. Please send links to bands or music (all genre's) that you thnk need to listen too. Thanx!

In Nevada...It is illegal for any member of the Nevada Legislature to conduct official business wearing a penis costume while the legislature is in session.

Once again, I'll be wasting your time & killing your brain cells with drivel that I spew out regularly. Aww look it's all white and frothy!!

I counted my socks 3 times and paired them all up before they went in the washing machine. It's sad I know, but I was curious. I had an even number. After their trip in the dryer, I'm now missing 1 sock and have 3 incomplete pairs....

I made my bed, I slept in it....I made my bed, I slept in it...so why do I keep making my bed....or should the question be 'why do I keep sleeping in it' after it's made?

Is watching Supernatural Season 1 and I'm kicking myself for not watching this from the beginning...it's actually pretty spooky!!

I am home alone...because of this fact, I am tempted to don a white long sleeve shirt, white socks, sunglasses, tightey whiteys and play some Seger. Sadly I know someone out here has no clue what I am talking about, and this makes me feel old....older that is...heh

OMG...I never realized how homoerotic the vollyball scene in Top Gun is...it made me feel a little awkward...and a little curious...OK, maybe not THAT curious.

OK here's an odd question...why is it that people in TV and Movies always seem to have a lighter handy when they have to burn something...yet they do not smoke cigars or cigarettes, so the need to actually carry a lighter is unneccesary....just an observation

So I am in Waukesha right now and Jeff was watching Dr. Phil and is now watching Oprah...and I now know what pure evil sounds like.

It's Tuesday Night and I'm online in the garage; patiently waiting for Mom to wake up around 4ish AM because she happened to lock all the doors and is in a deep sleep at this very moment. Thank goodness I grabbed the laptop before I walked out the door :/

LMAO...the attacking rooster idea is awesome. And when I saw awesome, I mean AWWWWWWWWESOOOOOOOOOOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LMAO...Cougartown and Modern Family are hands down the 2 funniest shows I have seen this season...GOD BLESS HULU!!!

If someone says "This is a joint venture." who's brings the munchie snacks???

I'm sitting here achy, sore throat, worn down and can't sleep...It's like a hangover...but without the fun BUT all the memories remain

Sadly all the things I either remember or forget have no outside influence...unless that selective amnesia kicks in again

"The Expendables" movie will either be awesomeness that makes you sterile or an epic fail of "Waterworld" proportions, either way I'm stoked

I know...that's why it's so BIZZZZOOOOOW!!!

http://bit.ly/3Zu0qw Apparently there is a market for a cool vibrating electronic tattoo pen good for ages 5-11 years. I'm not kidding.

You know it seems weird to see Diedrich Bader on Bones acting all suave and cool.

OK ABC's Eastwick has got it's filthy little claws in me...HULU.com wants my soul, and I'm giving it freely...

OH SWEET JESUS THEY MADE D&D EVEN MORE COOLER!!!!

Why thank you, It's nice to see you too...of course I mean that in "it's been a long time" kind of way, not the stalkerish "I'm looking in your window" way

LMAO...CONS ERX 300's rocked...they even "modernized" now they call it a "skate shoe"...I don't know whether to feel proud or sad that they are violating a teenhood memory

Hey folks...GUESS WHAT???? It's SNOWING!!! You know how I came to this conclusion...the last 24 hours of local news updates...of course looking out the frikken window, living in Wisconsin and the fact that it's December had ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with my final conclusion...THAT IT'S SNOWING outside...and with that I pass

Welcome friends, cohorts and those that aren't either...Today I am snarky...like the way the Misfits treated Jem and the Holograms

Hello one and all today I am frozed from the tippy top of my head to the bottoms of my cockle shells but not my feet...they is toasty warm...like a cup of HOT coffee in a PAPER cup

"While you may be clumsy and awkward, you are beautiful and have a strong moral center." That RIGHT...you see that??? I am BEE--YOU--TEA--FULL...so all you bitches best not be hatin...LMAO...and why am I always the chick in all of these "which movie character" quizzes?

Welcome friends, cohorts and those that aren't either, to my Facebook page...Today I am smooth...like CHOCOLATE MOUSSE. with ultra hold for all weather control!

I had a Wendy's Double Stack Baconator Sammich. Sweet lovely bacon, two burger patties, and 2 slices of cheese. Curse you animals for tasting so good.

I did not climb to the top of the food chain to be a vegetarian...of course once the sharks take to land and crocodiles learn to flourish in Wisconsin...I than retract my previous statement.

Welcome friends, cohorts and those that aren't either...Today I am smooth and delicious...like French Silk Pie!! That's right. FRENCH SILK PIE!!

Welcome friends, cohorts and those that aren't either...Today I am smooth like post winter roads...in Wisconsin

To enjoy Christmas, one must focus on the excitement, joy and anticipation that comes from the child who still believes that reindeer can fly, jolly ol' St. Nick, hats that bring snowmen to life, elves who want to be dentists and that on the 25th we celebrate the birth of hope and a promise of the good in peoples hearts. Which we, who get caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily life, so often lose sight of.

Welcome friends, cohorts and those that aren't either...Today I am smooth like footprints... “The footprints you leave behind will influence others. There is no person who at some time, somewhere, somehow, does not lead another.”

Welcome friends, cohorts and those that aren't either...Today I am smooth like cool whip...all fluffy and sweet and not that healthy, but still very yummy

SMOOTH like a rolling stop...just keeps going and going and then you step on the gas

A new blog posted and now going to enjoy the new Doctor Who episode...life is AWESOME right now!!!!

Hello my friends, cohorts and those that aren't either, Today I am smooth like The Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers Extended Edition disc 2...because that's where all the good action begins.

Hello my friends, cohorts and those that aren't either...Today I am smooth, like a porcupine, just don't pet me the wrong way or you'll get an unpleasant surprise in your hand.

HOLY CRAP!!! Mtv2 is playing music videos!!! Well it's Nickleback, so I use the term Music loosely.

Welcome friends, cohorts and those that aren't either...Today I am smooth like the hardwood floors In Risky Business...but please use clean socks

"Having been witness to angels, seraphim and daemons, surely God is not so hard a stretch?" - Angels on Fire by Nancy A. Collins...Rules of the game: 1) Grab the book nearest you. 2) Right now. 3) Turn to page 56. 4) Find the fifth sentence. 5) Post that as your status and post these instructions. Keep the game going!!!

Hello my friends, cohorts and those that aren't either...Today I am smooth like a babies bottom...post-bath time NOT pre-bath time

2009 IN REVIEW...FACEBOOK STYLE...pt 2

I wanted to do a year in review type thingy, but the first half of the year was very dark for me, and I didn't do very much.  After June though, there was a small sliver of light, guiding me out of my darkness.

That's where this begins.  I have written a lot of crap on Facebook, that I thought it would be fun to start from the beginning and share all of the idiosyncratic bull s**t that rolls around in my head.  So lets go and see what my year has been like...in Facebook style.

Now this second segment of my year in review is a nice short one, and unless you're on Facebook, you might not get it...but then again you might.  So here is the second installment for 2009 IN REVIEW...FACEBOOK STYLE

FACEBOOK...

Damn you Facebook, I was supposed to jump in the shower 15 minutes ago...give me back my life!!!

Today was a day filled with guilty pleasures...Grilled Bacon and cheese sammiches, some Original Pringles, Some Peanut M&M's, a NON diet Pepsi, 4 hours of Californication and not once did Facebook get all douchey....now my friends, THAT was a slice of heaven.

I can't do the Fishville game anymore. I'm tired of feeling guilty because all of my cyber fish have died. With the exception of the ones you sell when you first start, I am guilty of DIGITAL FISHicide....so no more of that app...

I must be the never ending well spring of hate...because I tried to take the how many people hate you quiz...and the quiz refused to accept my answers. That my friends is an EPIC FAIL with mass amounts of ownage...at this moment I guess I am Facebook's beeeyotch

Jose is trying to do the math...how many friends will I lose when Favre and the Vikings win and I gloat about it on Facebook, because after the dust settles...Favre and the Vikings stand TALL!!! And for the Packers PROTECT YOUR QUARTERBACK...OR YOU'LL LOSE ANOTHER ONE!!!

Anyone else having issues with Facebook acting like a douchebag??

Diet coke, amp energy drink, full pack of smoke. I'm ready to take over the internet. If only I don't get distracted...OOOH FARKLE!!

rumble grumble stupid farkle rumble grumble how is it rassin frakassin possible to get 6 farkles *stomping on the ground* on the first shake in one game?

You know, here I was all happy with my little farm in farm town...and then I got some back to back "help" thingies. So I click on "I'll help", being a friend and all...Next thing I know I'm on some plantation, and all of a sudden I'm afraid my name is Toby

You know...I'm already addicted to the damn internet, and now Facebook gives me these games and quizzes too. My energy drink bill is gonna triple, and my sanity will become even more frayed. All of a sudden it feels good to be me. :D LOL

Stupid games, stupid farm, stupid sleep, the first two are addicting, the last one kicks my butt...good night

Damnit!!! The quizzes have me in their vice like, addictive grasp yet again!!

SWEET JESUS...I think I'm addicted to Facebook quizzes

2009 IN REVIEW...FACEBOOK STYLE...pt 1

I wanted to do a year in review type thingy, but the first half of the year was very dark for me, and I didn't do very much.  After June though, there was a small sliver of light, guiding me out of my darkness.

That's where this begins.  I have written a lot of crap on Facebook, that I thought it would be fun to start from the beginning and share all of the idiosyncratic bull s**t that rolls around in my head.  So lets go and see what my year has been like...in Facebook style.

Let's start with some quotes that struck a nerve, made me smile and some that made me laugh...

QUOTES....

"Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs; he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter." - Friedrich Nietzsche

"The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they are okay, then it's you." -- Rita Mae Brown

"Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of joy you must have somebody to divide it with." -- Mark Twain.

"Before the big bang, before time itself, before matter, energy, velocity...there existed a single immeasurable state called yearning. This is the special force that on a day before there were days obliterated nothing into everything. It is the unseen strings tying the planets to stars. It's the maddening want we feel from first breath to last light." - 'Mary Shannon' from "In Plain Sight"

“The reason that fiction is more interesting than any other form of literature, to those who really like to study people, is that in fiction the author can really tell the truth without humiliating himself.” - Jim Rohn

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost.  From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien

"Have you ever felt like you were punched in the face by the estrogen fist of 'SHUT the HELL up you MAN!!!'?"

"Flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss." - Douglas Adams

"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." - Albert Einstein

“Our fatigue is often caused not by work, but by worry, frustration and resentment” - Dale Carnegie

"Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering." - Yoda

"Death is the opening of a more subtle life. In the flower, it sets free the perfume; in the chrysalis, the butterfly; in man, the soul." - Juliette Adam

The greatest line I have heard in an anime:
Her - "Sorry I dropped a demon on you."
Him "It's OK, it turned out fine. Let's eat"

“Welcome anything that comes to you, but do not long for anything else.” Andre Gide

"How do you know you've found your best friend. When you are ready to talk to them about anything, even though they know everything about you already." - Unknown

"You think the Devil has a soul layaway plan? Like at Kmart? So if you change your mind & give everything back, you won't have to go to Hell." - Amber Benson

"If you keep acting like a selfish tool, words gonna spread and you're gonna find yourself living on the planet NO LOVE.......that means the girls aren't gonna want to sleep with anymore!" Courtney Cox 'Cougar Town'

"I am no longer pretty. Gravity tugs at my ass, my paunch and my painfully heavy testicles." - Spider Jerusalem

"I'm okay with getting wrinkles... as long as my laugh lines are deeper than my frown lines." - Alyssa Milano

"Totally motivated to do something fun tonight but my car battery was dead. Disappointment fast became relief when I got back to the couch." - Elizabeth Banks

"Trying to convince people that you're not an asshole is much harder than just not being one" - Shane Nickerson

"Time is like a zombie, it moves slow but all of a sudden "BOO! GOT YOUR BRAINS!" - Jennie Breeden

"You asked me what was wrong, I smiled & said nothing, when you turned around and a tear came down & I whispered to myself... everything is." - Unknown

"Due to a common typo, I sent my Christmas list to Satan. But considering what I asked for it actually worked out!" - Hal Sparks

"Is it still Terrorism if We get pissed instead of afraid?" - Hal Sparks

"How pretentious is it that every issue of Oprah magazine has to have a picture of Oprah on the cover? Damn, we get the idea already....You don't see Mick Jagger on the cover of every issue of Rolling Stone Magazine?" - Chris Jericho

and that my friends is the end of part 1

MY SOUL HAS BEEN RENTED OUT AGAIN


Dear Readers...

Hello...

How about this weather...

I guess this is why they call it winter...

I am sorry. I have rented out my soul to the ANIME gods. Again. Right now I am in thrall to the FULL METAL ALCHEMIST. Just thought you'd want to know.





... I am almost done with it, and when I am I'll have new bloggy stuff written.

Thanks for putting up with me and my little peccadilloes


J.
