Friday the 13th Laughfest!

Hey there friends. Gonna be in the L.A area? Who's up for a free show on the 13th? My friend, The Fake Mark Gonzalez, is going to be on the bill and trust me, him and his entourage be some funny people. No drink minimum so even you, the unlucky yet oh so needed designated driver, can go to the show and have yourself some laughs with your drunken brethren. Word on the street has it that they may be doing a taping of Hulk Hogan's new reality show, Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Championship Wrestling. Don't quote me on that though, but hey, you never know who'll you'll run into in these part of the woods. Check out the flier and hope to see you all there. Later!

Entrecard Issues?

Hey there friends. I am having some issues with Entrecard. Was wondering if it's just me or if something is up. I haven't seen any other posts in regard to any probs and my widget is not loading on my page. On top of that, I'm having issues logging into the website. The website itself doesn't load all the way and many of the image cards are not loading. I was just about to get to dropping my card to my "regulars" but I'm not sure if I'm going to miss out on a day of dropping because of this. Later!


6/11/08 Update

Still having probs. This is what my dashboard looks like... And what makes it worst is that I can't view anyone's entrecard widget. Very discouraging.



06/12/08 Update

Back in business. Don't know what was up but I had a feeling that the problem was fixed during the Entrecard outage yesterday. Thanks!

Lakers Down 2-0

What the hell is wrong with the Lakers? Down 24 points with 8 minutes to go in the 4th?!?!!? Not to take anything away from the Celtics, they are in the finals for a reason, but the Lakers should not be down 24 points. Especially when they are considered a high offense team. They need to get their shit together or they WILL lose this series. Only after playing inspired (if not desperate) basketball in the 4th quarter, did they slash that 24 point deficit to 2 points. It was interesting to watch, but if they had played better in ANY of the 3 previous quarters, we may have won game 2. WAKE UP LAKERS!!! These are the finals and unless you play a full 48 minute game, you are going to LOSE!!!!!

2 Legends

Hey there. The NBA finals started last night and to my dismay, the Lakers let a golden opportunity slip away. Kobe had an off shooting night. MANY shots rattled around the rim and just popped out. But I won't complain, the Celtics were just the better team for 48 minutes on that night. We'll get em next time.



While watching the game, one commercial that they aired just gave me the chills. For those of you that have kept up with the NBA this year, there is no doubt that you've witnessed those "There can only be one" commercials where the screen splits to show 2 NBA stars' faces cut in half and speak the same dialogue. This has been an extremely effective campaign. They show how, regardless of which stars are on the commercial, they are all playing for the same goal.

Now, last night, the NBA dished out another one of these awesome commercials. Not featuring two stars from the current series, which they have done throughout the playoffs, but featuring 2 legends that resuscitated the NBA in the '80s, whose teams are currently playing for the finals. Friends, I give you Larry Joe Bird and Ervin "Magic" Johnson. Man, I saw this and it hit me. These 2 were just the most bad ass players to go at it and really give the fans what they wanted to see. This is why I love these two. Think of Michael Jordan for a sec, the greatest player to play the game (to date). You know him for his championships, his dominance, his willingness to win... But who was his competition? His nemesis? Who did you want him to conquer? Who can he say that he felt proud of defeating? Quite frankly, I can't think of one, where as with Bird and Magic, you had 2 of greatest going after each other, disappointed if they didn't meet at the finals for a chance to beat the best. Another great example of this is Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. 2 of the greats going after the title and if they don't meet in the playoffs, us the fans, are disappointed for not having the chance to see 2 of the greats duel it out. it's great to have a dominating player out there, but if that player doesn't have an equal, or close to an equal as you can get, there is no competition making the events, dare I say, a little boring.

So I leave with this, check out the legends and let's here what you have to say. How can you not get chills watching this? Later!

Reign In Blood



Hey there friends. It's only fitting that one of the last songs to beat on Guitar Hero III comes from one of the most bad ass albums ever. A creation by one of the masters of metal, Slayer. On my quest to become a guitar hero master, I have come across a road block that I just cannot seem to get through. I have been stuck on Raining Blood, expert mode, for about 2 weeks straight now. I survived through Cliffs of Dover and 4 starred One and The Number of the Beast, but I just can't get through Raining Blood. I got frustrated yesterday. I spent a good hour or so practicing it and I still couldn't get through the flurry of notes rushing at you during the "mosh" section. Best I could do was about 37% percent of the song before failing... For those not familiar with guitar hero, check out the vid below... I chose this video cause the dude missed some notes so I'm sure it's someone actually playing the song and not some dues using a bot trying to impress people. This is a hard ass sonf and the person handled it and you gotta give him his props for it. I fail at the 1.16 mark. One day, friends... I'll get through this song. lol Later!
