Hey Check Out My Band

2010-01-02T06:39:00.001-08:00

The local music scene in my hometown of Youngstown, Ohio is really terrible now. It used to be good. I started playing guitar about 10 years ago and I just remember thinking it was the coolest thing and someday wanting to get famous playing in a rock band. My favorite bands when I started playing were bands like Nirvana, Green Day, Blink 182, Incubus, Metallica, Deftones and Linkin Park just to name a few When I started High School most of my time was spent playing my guitar, buying CDs, and attending local concerts. It was really great going to local concerts. They were always packed. It was around this time I started getting away from pop punk bands like Green Day and Blink-182 and getting into heavier indie bands like Poison the Well and Norma Jean. When I went to these shows I noticed that the kids weren't decked out in designer clothes and peircings. Kids were just having a good time, no one seemed to care what they were wearing. Everybody was just having a good time and was their to enjoy the music. It was always real fun to get real hurt in a mosh pit or circle pit and get picked up you when you fell by the nice kids also enjoying it. Somewhere around when I was in 10th grade the scene started getting shitty. Kids started getting really out of control with what they were wearing. Concerts became less about the music and more of an event to show off bands' shirts you bought, torn up jeans, tattoos, and peircings. It became an event for kinds to be seen at and look "cool". Kids who didn't even know how to play instruments started bands that were awful and overshadowed good bands that deserved the attention. It really stopped being fun to go to shows. It was also at this time that it seemed like everyone in attendance started smoking and could only talk about leaving the concert to attend a party to get drunk and high. It was also around this time that MySpace came out and in my opinion "ruined music forever". On paper the concept of MySpace is good, you know let anyone post their music to be heard all over the world, but in the end it causes more harm than good. First, it takes a lot of the hard work out of being a band. You can start a MySpace page and send out an unlimited number of friend requests for people to check out your band. It usually doesn't even matter how good your band is, if you do this you will (or at least you did when MySpace first started) get many fans instantly. I used to hear about bands starting out going through hard times and playing to empty places. While it doesn't sound that great at first, it becomes a positive thing in the long run because it is a big learning experience for the band and creates a stronger bond with the members. When you playing to nobody in an empty space in really makes you question your own ability and motives. Therefor it would strengthen you and make you work harder. MySpace kind of took that part of being a band out. So what we were left with was a bunch of kids or couldn't play being overly supported by their friends and MySpace friends. This made them unaware of how bad they actually were because of their instant overwhelming support. So there was no motivation for them to get better because in their own minds and their "fans" minds the were already great. That brings up another question. What ever happened to constructive criticism? It seems now a days no matter what you do musically the response is either overwhelming positive or overwhelmingly negative. Anytime I write a song or play a show I'm never satisfied. I always think it sucked or it could have been better. I'm not saying that being that way is the perfect or correct way to be but it is certainly better than being cocky and being satisfied with everything you do. Sometimes you need someone to tell you that you suck or you need to get better. It just seems that because of sites like MySpace and Itunes it is basically impossible to strive for an actual career in music. They have polluted music so much that it's so hard to even find a good band because you have to shift through so much shit. It seems like most music these days is more concerned about appearance than what they are actually playing. Nobody seems to go to to concerts and if they do its usually people so polluted that they could care less at what they are listening to, because of this many of our local venues have had to close. I spend a lot of time and I used to spend more time trying to find great music and my new favorite band. Anytime I found something great, I always knew that there was another band or artist out there that would blow them away and it was my job to find them. It seems these days kids listen to what they think they are supposed to and what they are expected to and they give it right there. I feel that any music you listen to that you think is great, keep looking because you can always find something better. Anyway I made this post in hope you can check out my band. We have a MySpace which I knpw seems odd because I just spent a lot of time trashing them, but I'm afraid I don't know any other way to let my band's existence be known. So I'm afraid it's all I got. I feel that I'm at a good place musically now I don't write music to suit a style or appearance. I just do whatever it is I want to do and I hope that I can play it to some people who hopefully enjoy it. So please check out my band. I can't necessarily tell you that we are great or even good. If you don't like I can't in all honesty tell you that you are wrong, but I can tell you that we aren't playing anything we don't want to play and we a being very real and being ourselves when we do it. Anyway if you read all this thanks. I just felt like venting and at the very least having some of my thoughts organized in something other than my brain. My band's site is www.myspace.com/fatandersonjam

Here's some pics......

I may post pics of our equipment and set up later. Thanks for reading.

Christmas 2009!!!

2010-01-01T05:59:00.000-08:00

Sorry for the lack of updates for the estimated 3 people who read this. I have been extremely busy with school, work, and my band that I basically forgot I started a blog, but I hope to change that and start posting on a regular basis. If not for people to read then just for me to have organized information to complete my memoirs or for a movie of my life where I will be played by Kobe Bryant.

Anyway.......Christmas is over. It's always real depressing for me the few days after Christmas heading into the New Year. It really starts to sink in that I'm going to have start doing normal stuff again like not being fat.

Anyways I felt like posting the stuff I got so check yo self.

These gifts where from a friend who I let stay at my house for a bit. As you can see I received "Are You Kidding Me" which is a book of fun facts. Did you know it is healthy to eat dirt? Or that it is possible for a woman to give birth to twins from two different fathers? That means you can not only have a black baby, but a black baby and an Asian baby, or even a green baby. The possibilityes are endless. You'll also notice the book "A Ring for the King" a book following the Cavs attempt to win a championship with Shaq and lastly an Office Calendar. I never use calendars but The Office is one of my favorite shows so that should count for something.
As you can here I received some G.I. Joe The Rise of the Cobra boxer shorts that are complete with Kung Fu grip comfort for my butt. I also received a Ninja Turtles key cover, some guitar polish, and a Family Guy pint glass filled with pixie sticks with the rules of beer pong written on the side. Thank God. I also got an Iron Man mighty mugg. I love these things, they're so adorable. He will go nicely with my Punisher and Starscream ones. Note: I've received Pixie Sticks as a present every Christmas since I was 3 years old.

You'll notice a Sin City Bruce Willis played "Hartigan"
but my mom claims she thought it was a John McClain figure. I tried to find the website she bought it from to trade it for a John McClane figure but they seem to have gone out of business sometime between Dec.8 and Dec. 26 or there is some underground black market operation that gives "Hartigan" Bruce Willis figures when really you want "John McClane" Bruce Willis figures. Yeah, that's it. I actually bought a new Xbox 360 Headset with a gift card I received from my grandfather, because my old one broke. Probably because of the epic trash talked I spewed into it. I also received a George Foreman Grill from my mom. I got one for Christmas like 10 years ago and loved it but I let my grandfather borrow it and I haven't seen it since. Well actually I saw it on his counter one day and reminded him it was mine but then he started talking about old guy stuff. My grandpa owns a George Foreman grill.
Here's some video games. I got Tekken 6, Halo 3:ODST, and Left 4 Dead 2 as gifts. I bought the rest at Gamestop because they were having a buy 2 get 1 free sale. I beat Halo 3:ODST the other night it was alright, very short though. I played some of Tekken 6 but I'm gonna be honest it sucks balls pretty hard. I haven't tried the rest though. A couple of the games I bought at Gamestop were only like 5 bucks. I'll let you guess which ones.

Here's some movies I got. I saw Inglorious Basterds, Public Enemies, District 9, Terminator Salvation, and Bruno. All good movies or at least entertaining movies in their own rights. District 9 is especially good so check that out if you haven't already. I also received Extract, The Hangover, G.I. Joe The Rise of Cobra, Choke, Star Trek, I Love You Man, and Role Models. I watched and The Hangover and G.I. Joe the other night. The Hangover was funny but a bit overrated, some people act like it's the funniest movie ever mad but it has nothing on Billy Madison. G.I. Joe was ......... entertaining. That's all I got. Haven't watched the rest but I'll probably watch Star Trek tonight. I also picked up 300, The Alien Trilogy Pack, Empire Records, and The Darkman Trilogy the day after Christmas. Still haven't seen 300 yet though.

Several Punisher Books: Good Stuff. I always enjoy watching the Punisher kill some fools and these are no exception.

Watchman: Finally picked this one up. I got it the day after Christmas. I heard there is a lot of wiener in it.

Scalped: I read it. Not sure I get what all the fuss is about.
Batman: Battle for the Cowl, I Kill Giants, and The Preacher: I haven't read them yet but I hear good things. I can't wait till I have to go to the bathroom.

It's weird. I've always collected comic books, but I never read them. I was always afraid of damaging them.

I also got Michael Ian Black: My Custom Van. A book where Michael writes essays as Billie Joel not wanting to play "Piano Man" at a party and as Abraham Lincoln after he was shot.

I got some some cds. Nick Swarson: Seriously Who Farted?, Louis C.K.: All Chewed Up, David Cross: It's Not Funny, The Fall of Troy: In the Unlikely Event, and Poison the Well: The Tropic. All good stuff. I especially like Nick Swardson's joke about being an ice skater and skating to the center of the rink to spin and start peeing.

Some miscellaneous stuff A Beatles T-Shirt, a Simpsons puzzle, a guitar cable, some guitar picks, and last but not least Ghostbuster Ectoplasm Energy Drink.

That brings my novelty energy drink collection to 6.

Boom!

Well that's it. Hope you had a good Christmas.

Insane Clown Posse: The Best There Is, Was, and Ever Will Be.

2009-09-07T03:56:00.000-07:00

If there is one thing about me that everyone knows and agrees on it's that I'm the biggest Insane Clown Posse (ICP) fan on the planet. You could probably say that I am a Juggalo nazi. I own virtually all of their albums including the ultra rare 1960's recorded "Imma kill dat bitch and eat her clothes" EP and my clothing wardrobe consists of nothing but Insane Clown Posse and Slimer T-shirts. I someday plan to deck my whole body out in ICP tattoos when I become strong enough to handle the pain of getting a tattoo. The main problem with ICP is that they are painfully unappreciated. Sure they sell a lot of records but there are a lot of people who hate on them and I just don't think they understand the whole story. So I hope after you read this informative article on the greatest musical duo of our time or all time for the matter that you will represent and rise against the negativity aimed at the greatest musical duo of all time.

The Insane Clown Posse formed on the streets of Brooklyn in the late 1960's with founding members Lief Garret (Violent K) and Joe Kerr (Faggy Peanuts) during a backyard renaissance fair. The two met through a mutual friend that Faggy Peanuts's brother was doing at the time. See Faggy Peanuts loved show tunes and was looking for a partner to perform with since his early days of stand up comedy. So this mutual friend introduced the two and history was forever changed. The 2 immediately hit it off and had sex with each other. When they were done they began to discuss recording some music. That's when Violent K said the words the forever rocked the music industry "No.........Let's paint our faces like gay clowns and have sex with each other". It was then agreed, no music would be recorded on this day, instead there would be rounds and rounds of gay clown sex. Once the smoke cleared from the smoke machine Faggy Peanuts hooked up, the duo started laying down some tracks. The duo's musical chemistry was immediately noticed and the two began to have sex with each other. After demoing several tracks the group decided it was time to begin work on their debut album and have sex with each other again. The album would be called "The Carnival of Carnage" do to Violent K's obsession and love for carnival corn dogs. The album was a smash hit selling over 100 Billion albums in it's first day and the video for their single "Smells like Teen Spirit" getting significant airtime on VH1. The band was finally a success, so the duo had sex with each other.

After the smoked cleared from the fog machine that the Insane Clown Posse hooked up over the world, the band was bigger than ever and had a loyal fan base known to them as "Juggalos" which is the french word for the phrase "Butt Olympians". It was during this time ICP became known for their intense stage show. The band at the time would fill fire extinguishers with the soda known as Faygo and spray it in the bathrooms. Many concert goers would be unaware of this and would slip and fall as a result of the bathroom floors being wet. Some concert goers even complained of the floors being quite sticky.

Many successful years went by as the band continued to sell a million zillion records and have sex with each other, but that's when things took a dark turn. It was around this time that the band ate a lot of chocolate. Violent K became very fat and very pregnant with the group's first child. All the sex and chocolate had finally caught up to them and the group was put on indefinite hiatus until Violent K could poop again. It was at this time that group member Faggy Peanuts fell into a deep depression. Things weren't all bad in ICP land though because it was at this time that Faggy Peanuts wrote his number 1 solo single "With Arms Wide Open" upon the news that Violent K was pregnant with his child but it was at this time Faggy Peanuts began to battle an addiction to boobies. After years of being pregnant Violent K's baby exploded and the group was back together, but things again took a turn for the worse yet again when Faggy Peanuts revealed to Violent K that he was addicted to boobies. Violent K was heartbroken because he felt this went against the group's homosexual image. Faggy Peanuts agreed and the duo had sex with each other and the group was now stronger than ever.

I hope you enjoyed my brief accurate history of the musical group the Insane Clown Posse. If you have questions about the Insane Clown Posse please comment below or send me an e-mail at andysunglass286@hotmail.com

Andy Marte: The Best There Ever Was

2009-08-13T05:53:00.000-07:00

Andy Marte is the greatest of all time. It is believed by some that Marte is the reincarnation of both Babe Ruth and Willie Mays (despite Mays not being dead). There are many questions surrounding Marte's birth and when he was conceived but a more accurate question would be "When was he conceived of by man'?". Mankind has had Gods throughout history to help explain away things that can't be understood or that appear to be miraculous. So with that being said, is Marte a physical reality or is he myth conceived by man. He is in fact real, birthed on the sands of ancient Greece as a half-God, half man hybrid. Andy Marte A.K.A "Noodles" was first introduced to baseball at the tender age of zero years old. Many men died at this particular exchange of base and ball and Marte's pure power was realized. Marte soon began is rapid climb into the MLB. Marte was traded to the Cleveland Indians from the Boston Red Sox due to the Red Sox's fear of his overwhelming power and him embarassing the other players because of his pure skill. Marte soon began his streak of consecutive MVP winning seasons starting with his career high 5 home runs in 2006. He continued his winning ways by slugging 3 long bombs in 2008 with a batting average of 1 million. Marte is currently unmarried, because no women can handle is "seed".

My Brother and Me: A Retrospective on the Greatest Show Ever Created by Human Beings on Planet Earth

2009-08-09T19:26:00.001-07:00

My Brother and Me was a show about an African American family living in Charlotte, North Carolina and their crazy black people adventures. The show aired on Nickelodeon in 1994. Despite being the greatest show of all time the show only had 1 Season of 13 episodes. It is believed a 2nd season of the show was in the works but was scrapped. There are supposedly 3 episodes that were never released and were left in the editing stages. The show ran in re-runs for literally like 9 years after the initial 13 episodes were released, leading some to believe that new episodes were being aired. Dumbasses

The show's main characters were two brothers named Alfie and Dee-Dee Parker, hence the title "My Brother and Me". I wonder who the title is referring to, like is Alfie going "Yeah, it's my brother and me or is it Dee-Dee. This show must take place before they started their board game empire.
???????????????????????

Alfie Parker (Arthur Reggie III): It is unknown if Alfie received top billing as "Brother" or "Me". Alfie was the dope ass 11 year old brother, that Dee Dee looked up to. Dee Dee really annoys Alfie. Alfie enjoys hanging out and causing a ruckus with his best friend Goo and going to the comic book store. Alfie struggles in school and in one episode even got grounded for flushing his failed math test down the toilet and as punishment had to teach his little brother Dee Dee how to dance. In one episode Alfie tries out for the school basketball team but despite being a talented player he his told by the coach that he is a "Hot Dog" and a "Ball Hog" and does not make the team. This makes Alfie feel as if the coach was "buggin" and treating him like some "buster" and feeling as if his homies were going to "clown" him. Alfie is usually scheming with an idea or using his extremely active imagination. He eats mayonnaise on raisin bread. Oh and he fucking hates tights and "The Fuzzy Wuzzy Game".

Derek "Dee Dee" Parker (Ralph Woolfolk IV): Alfie's little bitch ass brother. Dee Dee really likes following Alfie around. Dee Dee also enjoys hanging out and going to the comic book store with his best friends Harry and Donnell. Alfie once told Dee Dee that the world was coming to an end and a spaceship was coming to get everyone. The story goes that Dee Dee packed all his things and waited on the back porch for an hour. Dee Dee once played a practical joke on Alfie by giving him trick gum from the comic book store giving Alfie bad breath when he was talking to the very attractive "Laura Naperry" or something like that. Goo once cut his hair just like Cool Doctor Money's hair. Alfie also tricked Dee Dee into eating a very spicy Texas style chili dog that burned his mouth. He also really covets his Alonzo Mourning poster that he exchanged to Goo for a snake. He can't dance.

"Not my Zo poster!"

Milton "Goo" Berry A.K.A "The Gooster" or "The Goomeister"(Jimmy Lee Newman Jr): Goo is Alfie's main man or as he likes to say his "ACE". Goo is a real Eddie Haskell like motherfucker. He likes to make fun of Dee Dee and his friends but when an adult is around he quickly changes his tune. Unlike Alfie, Goo made the basketball team despite the coach thinking his name is "Glue". Goo says the coach calls him that because of his defense because " he can stick anyone out there". Goo also really wants to have sex with Alfie and Dee Dee's sister "Melanie" whom he describes as being fine. He once suffered amnesia after getting hit in the face with a basketball and briefly thought Melanie's friend Dionne was the "fine" one but he hit his head on a table and quickly saw the error of his ways. Goo once imagined that he had his own drink entitled "Goo Punch" complete with it's own theme song.
"1 + 1 is always 2, it's the Goo with a drink (treat) for you, my Goo Punch goes with any snack, so get back Shaq it's the Goo attack, Goooooooooooooo, Goooooooooooo, Goooooooooooo, Goooooooooo"

Melanie: "Oh Goo you are all that"
Goo: " I am ain't I and so is my Goo Punch"
Goo: "Come on everybody, Goooooooooo Punch, Alright now!!, Goooooooo Punch Hey!!!!

Harry White (Keith "Bubba" Naylor) and Donnell Wilburn (Stefan Wernli): Harry and Donnell are Dee Dee's 2 best friends. Harry is a minority on the show and it is even more enforced with his last name "White". Harry is somewhat of a spazz. He thinks Spider-Man is fantasterastic. He also got his mouth burned on the Texas style chili dogs. Donnell states in one episode that he is going to skip being captain of the basketball team and go straight to team general. Despite it not being an official ranking of basketball at the time, he is confident that it will be created just for him. He is also very fond of his roller blades with his graphite compound wheels and saying "don't hold your breath" to ridiculous statements. He also has stage fright. He too suffered a burned mouth from the Texas style chili Dogs.

Melanie Parker (Aisling Sistrunk): She's a stuck up bitch on the show. Goo thinks she is fine but she hates Goo. Her best friend is Donnell's older sister Dionne. She isn't familiar with the "lingo".

Dionne Wilburn (Amanda Seales "Diva"): Donnell's older sister and Melanie's best friend. She too is kind of a bitch and does not like Goo or Alfie. According to Goo she has bad breath and a flea market hair weave. She too is unfamiliar with the "lingo".

Roger Parker (Jim R. Coleman): He is the father of Alfie, Dee Dee, and Melanie. He is a sportswriter. He usually tells stories that turn into a story about a personal experience with his brother Lawrence or "Uncle Lawrence". He enjoys preparing Gumbo.

Jennifer Parker(Karen E. Fraction): The mom. That's it.

Ms: Pigney (Kym Whitley): She runs the comic book shop and is very cheap and enjoys money. Alfie and Goo were once hit in the face with pies form Melanie and Dionne at the comic book store and were forced to clean up the mess from Ms.Pigney's carpet dat wuzn't even payd fo yet.

Settings

Every episode usually showed the characters hanging out in the Parker's house, mostly their living room, the boys' bedroom, and the kitchen. The show also commonly featured the characters in the school cafeteria, playground, gymnasium, or the front entrance. The characters also frequented the comic book store. Each episode usually contained one unique set piece for the episode, such as Goo's bathroom.

I always thought the Comic Book store the characters went to was incredible. The store had a fucking snack bar in it that served chili dogs! There was always a bunch of badass comics and stuff in the background. It also had an arcade. I remember watching the show wanting to create a comic book store just like it for 11 year olds to hang out.

Interior Monologues

The show extensively used interior monologues. Almost every episode featured the character's "thoughts," usually overreacted responses to something another character said. This was especially prevalent in scenes revolving around the boys' father , who frequently told painfully boring stories about his brother, the kids' uncle Lawrence, and forced the kids to endure his favorite dish, Mumbo-jumbo gumbo.

Celebrity Cameos

In the first episode of the show, Charlotte Hornets all-star Kendall Gill made a guest appearance. The young shooting guard came to the comic book store to impart wisdom to the children. It was here that Alfie famously remarked "Oh my God, it's Kendall Gill!" Similarly, on the episode, "Robin Hood Play", George Jung is seen briefly in the audience wearing a t-shirt saying, "Howdy doo, kids! Remember, Just Say No!"

The show also featured former Orlando Magic small forward Dennis Scott as a coach. In the episode Basketball Tryouts, he serves as the coach who picks the final teams for the juniors and seniors.

Final Thoughts

Overall this is the best show ever created. It was just canceled because kids in 1994 were racists. The only character who went on to have a good career was the actress who played the character Dionne (Amanda Diva) she was the host of MTV2's Sucka Free Countdown and can be found on many VH1 programs. The guy who played Alfie became a rapper named "ShowBizzness" he likes to smoke weed and was shot 7 times a few years ago and made a full recovery. Dee Dee is a student athlete star catcher in College. The mother unfortunately died of cancer and the dad usually plays someone working at Lowes or enjoying a sandwich in a commercial. Not much is known about the other actors, but I heard Goo worked at a Pizza Hut in California.

The show has never been released on DVD and probably never will, but you can find poor quality fan made bootleg DVDs online. I have one so if you don't have any luck finding one I can maybe get you some episodes.

John Hughes died today, he directed Uncle Buck. That really sucks, because now we really can't get a a proper sequel. We may never see Uncle Buck 2: Still Buck After All These Years, Uncle Buck: The Buck Starts Here, Uncle Buck 2: Still Buckin, Uncle Buck 2: Who Gives a Buck?, Uncle Buck 2: More Buck, BIGGER PANCAKES, Uncle Buck 2: Son of a Buck, Aliens v.s Buck, Uncle Buck 2: Back to the Minors, Uncle Buck 2: The Cyber Monkey Wars, Uncle Buck 2: Live Free or Buck Hard, Uncle Buck 2: Honey, I Bucked the Kids, Uncle Buck 2: All Buck's Day, Uncle Buck 2: Back in the Habit, Uncle Buck 2: Buckment Day, Uncle Buck 2: Buck in Saddle, Uncle Buck 2: Now, We're Bucked, Uncle Buck 2: Buck to the Future, Uncle Buck 2: Buck in Charge, Uncle Buck 2: The Revenge, Uncle Buck 2: Dirty Buck, Uncle Buck 2: Buktoberfest, Uncle Buck 2: The Buck Chronicles, Uncle Buck 2: Ressurrection, Uncle Buck 2: Buck to School, Uncle Buck 2: Buck's Day at the Beach, Uncle Buck 2: Hawaiian Style, and Uncle Buck 2: Who Wants to Buck. I think those are all the logical possibilities. I was just thinking when someone buys a copy of Uncle Buck on DVD there is information traveling all around the country letting retailers and warehouses know that they are down 1 Buck.

In all seriousness R.I.P John Hughes you will be missed

My Game Collection Part 2

2009-08-02T23:09:00.000-07:00

I didn't have a Super Nintendo when I was a little kid I didn't get one until well after I had a Playstation 1 and it was on discount. Then I got rid of and bought another one a couple of years later at a used video game store, but then I needed money and I got rid of that one too but I bought another one on eBay about a year ago because I'm an idiot. Super Nintendo games are a little hard to come by and are a bit more expensive then maybe some Genesis games. I lucked out and got some classics on eBay in some wholesale lots. Such as, Super Mario World, Final Fight, Donkey Kong Country, and Turtles in Time. I also bought a lot of sports titles in a lot for pretty cheap. Sports games usually don't have much resale value obviously. There were some games I had to pay a lot for that kind of sucked balls. I bought a sealed copy of Final Fight 3 for like 40 or 50 bucks (I can't remember). I also had to pay like 15 bucks each for Super Metroid and Super Mario All Stars. There are some classics I still need to get like Star Fox but I haven't got around to it.

One of my favorite systems maybe even my favorite of all time is the Playstation 1. I got one for Christmas 1996. My favorite games to play for it were the Street Fighter Alpha games, the Twisted Metal series, Madden, Resident Evil, the Tekken series and many others. I had a lot of games for Playstation 1 so there's a lot that I am forgetting. I know I had a Spawn video game for it that was really terrible. Like it was really terrible. I think you fought people one on one but you had to run around the level and look for them and the fight mechanics were horrible it was like a Max Payne fighting game. I might be wrong and not remember but I know the game sucks some booty butt.
Stay away from this shitty ass game.

Anyway I got rid of my Playstation 1 to get a Ps2, but again recently I wanted another one and bought the smaller Psone model. I rebought all of the Twisted Metal Games, Final Doom, Abe's Oddysee, Tomb Raider and some other ones. I also somehow managed to buy about 6 copies of Spider-Man ( I read the auction wrong). I also bought some shitty games on purpose like this game called Apocalypse with Bruce Willis.

More like "Press Butt"

This isn't even based off a movie it's just Bruce Willis in a game. Anyway it sucks. I don't have much in the way of respectable games for my Psone except for the games I already mentioned. I bought a lot of like 40 games but they all kind of suck. I got games like Spice World and the Wild Thornberries. Not much going on there.

There's a shot of my collection. That's it right now and my camera sucks.

I had a Saturn and Dreamcast briefly when the were hot items off the press but they faded pretty quick so I didn't get to fully appreciate them when I first had them so I got rid of them fairly quick. Some for my favorites to play for Saturn were World Series Baseball, Duke Nukem 3D and Die Hard Arcade. Some of my favorites for Dreamcast at the time were Sonic Adventure, House of the Dead 2, Ready 2 Rumble Boxing, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2, and Crazy Taxi. I recently purchased another Saturn and Dreamcast. My Dreamcast collection isn't looking too bad at the moment but it still needs a lot of work but I have a couple rare fighting classics like Street Fighter 3: Third Strike, Capcom vs Snk, and Marvel v.s Capcom 1 and 2. My Saturn collection is pretty lame because I just bought it.

This is it at the moment on my Saturn collection. Nothing sweet yet.

I got an N64 in 1998 and got rid of it not too long after I think for a Dreamcast and because it pissed me off they didn't have end labels. Seriously what the fuck is up with that. Anyway I didn't have much of a collection when I first got it. Some of my favorites were Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire, Star Fox and Wrestlemania 2000. I got back pretty much everything I had and then some when I rebought an N64 last year. I also picked up some other classics like Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Waverace, Goldeneye, Mario Party and some other. I won an awesome auction for like 20 N64 games with a bunch of classics some I already had but fucking UPS lost my package. I'm still hoping they find it but my hope is dwindling. I didn't take a pic because I would have to pull them all off the shelf because there aren't any fucking end labels.

I also had some goofy systems like the Sega Cd and 32x but I got rid of those twice!. I might get them again some day but they aren't my top priority right now. I also started collecting some old hand held systems again.

Right now in addition to playing retro games I play Xbox 360 I got a pretty solid collection now. I don't want to trade games away anymore so my collection is really growing. I had a PSP but I realized I wouldn't have time to play when there are so many Xbox 360 games I need to finish. I might buy a PS2 and an original Xbox someday but I really don't miss them too much yet. i got rid of them to get a 360.

Here are some pics of my 360 collection and where a play these baby angels
Most of my 360 collection the rest were in the Psone collection pic.

Where my 360 is hooked up, notice the Terminator Slurpee Cups and the Last Boy Scout DVD case watching over me.

My retro game station and a lava lamp and some old magazine.....and a Main Moon Calendar

Most of my older game collection from a far

Anyway if you read this I hope you found it interesting, I just finished up my own Mame cabinet so more on that later.
Oh that's not me I'm much more black, buff, championship Basketball player like, and sexually appealing than that guy. It's pretty obvious if you look at my profile pic.

If you see any games you like or have some to offer or trade let me know.

My Game Collection

2009-08-01T18:25:00.000-07:00

When I was growing up I owned a lot of video games systems and games. Some I owned at the same time, others at different times and some multiple times. Eventually I one time or another I sold my games or systems to game stores or online in order to buy the newest games. In my lifetime I've owned an NES, a SNES, a Genesis, a Sega CD, a Sega 32X, a Saturn, a N64, a PSone or PSX, a PS2, a Gameboy, a Game Gear, a Gameboy Advance, an Atari, a PSP, a XBOX, and an Xbox 360. Obviously it was a dumb move on my part and in the last 2 years or so I've been slowly trying to rebuild my collection.

Growing up the 1st system my family had was an Atari. I think I was only like 2 or 3 when I started playing it. I don't really have to many memories of it. Most of them are me watching someone else play it. I think it was given to us by my Grandma. I briefly remember playing E.T on it and not knowing what the hell was going on. I still have the Atari but am missing all the cables and games. Hopefully I'll find the games and cables but if not I plan on building an Atari collection. Thinking about it that's really gonna suck some balls if I have to buy all those Atari games again.

When I was about 4 or 5 my parents bought me a Nintendo as a reward for doing chores and being a "tough guy". I remember my mom buying a notebook and putting gold stars in the book every time I did a chore and I remember being afraid to go outside by myself so she put a gold star in the book when I did that too again for being a "tough guy". Anyway, I had a lot of games for the nes. Some of my favorites were the obvious games such as Super Mario Bros. 3, Double Dragon and some of the Mega Man games even though they were hard as hell and made me say my first F word at about age 5 or 6.

Eventually I sold all my games and the system to buy some other game system or games, but I got a new one last year and started rebuilding my collection.

There's a poorly shot picture of most of my NES games I have some classics like all 3 of the Super Mario Bros. games, Zelda, most of the Mega Mans, the Castlevanias Contra 1 and 2, and all the Ninja Turtle games.

Here's a pic of some of my most recent NES purchases I got all 3 Castlevania games at a flea market for about 20 bucks which is a pretty good deal. If your looking to rebuild or just start a retro game collection I'd reccomend checking out some garage sales or flea markets to see if some games are being sold under their premimum price or buy the games in lots or sets on ebay to save some money. If you you buy the game by itself you'll likely being paying a top premium price. I'd say my NES collection is getting pretty exceptable by their a lot more games I need before I'm really proud of it. I don't really have any games in their original packaging except for a sealed copy of River City Ransom so I'm looking to change that.

I also was a big fan of Sega Genesis and I also had a Sega CD growing up. Like the rest of my systems I eventually sold my original and rebought one, but then I sold that one too and bought another one online then sold it again. Then recently I bought 2, yeah I'm an idot. Anyway now I have 2 of the orginal Sega Genesis systems and quite a few games. Sega games are usually alot cheaper then NES and a lot easier to find. I have most of the classics but am still missing a few like Strider. The gems of my collection are my copies of The Punisher and Contra: Hard Corps. I bought both of the games seperately used on Amazon for about 6 dollars a piece. The Punisher usually goes for over 30 dolalrs and Contra at about 20, apparently someone didn't know what they had. I also recently put a bid on an auction with a maximum bid of about 40 bucks because the auction contained ToeJam and Earl which usually sells for about 40 dollars and Earthworm Jim that usually sells for about 10 along with some other games like Shaq Fu. You can never have enough copies of Shaq Fu. To my surprise I won the auction for 20 bucks. I don't know how I did but here's a pic of the haul.
That's all for now I'll make another post with my Snes, Psone, Saturn, N64, Dreamcast, XBOX, and my other collections.

Sluts

2009-07-27T18:40:00.000-07:00

Did you ever notice there are a lot of shows about sluts? I mean there are really a lot of shows about dirty whores. Is this what America wants? Is this what we want our children to grow up on? The answer is Yes. Yes we do.

Sex and the City: "Four beautiful female New Yorkers gossip about their sex-lives (or lack thereof) and find new ways to deal with being a woman in the 90's"

Translation: Three sluts and their mom try to get laid.

I'm not gonna lie I've never seen this show but I mean seriously "four beautiful female New Yorkers" like I'm pretty sure Kristen Davis is the hot young one but she's like 40 and she's only really hot in comparison to the others.

Desperate Housewives: "The "normal" suburban life for a group of close-knit housewives takes a dark turn when one of their closest friends mysteriously commits suicide. Now while trying to deal with their own hectic problems and romantic lives, each year brings on a new mystery and more dark and twisted events to come. Life behind closed doors is about to be revealed as suburban life takes a funny and dark turn."

Translation: Man I have no idea but I did detect some "sluttage" in there.

I mean I never saw this show either but everyone knows it's about sluts don't argue.

Grey's Anatomy: A drama centered on the personal and professional lives of five surgical interns and their supervisors.

Translation: Don't let that summary fool you, this show is about sluts.

I saw an episode of this and there were a lot of sluts and people getting it on, but in a hospital.

Eastwick: There isn't a summary for this but apparently it's based on a book and a movie about 3 slutty witches.

This show has not even premiered but I saw a commercial and it was just these witches doing people.

Man there sure are a lot of shows about sluts. I mean I'm not complaining or nothing I'm just saying. Like i would love to be in a boardroom when executives are pitching these shows. Is he just like "Guys, I got this idea.....it's about sluts but this time they're in a hospital." or like "Guys I got this idea about sluts in a suburban neighborhood. Pretty soon it's gonna be like " Guys......I got this idea...it's about sluts in SPACE!!!!....it's called Space Sluts. Man that would be awesome.

Punisher Energy Drink Review

2009-07-24T17:25:00.000-07:00

The other day I took a trip to our local mall in search of an adventure. After eating some general tso's chicken I decided that now would be a good time to get a new shirt for my band's upcoming concert. Also, do you think that general ever gets mad people are eating it's chicken? Anyway, after I was done eating I walked into Hot Topic. I really hate going into hot topic because everything is real expensive and faggy. I remember when the 1st hot topic opened near me I thought it was real cool. It was basically a store that specialized in underground music and pop culture memorabilia but in recent years it's really gone down hill and devoted most of it's inventory to tight pants and Insane Clown Posse merchandise. Despite hating the store, I'll ocasionally find a shirt that I like or am amused by and this day was no exception. I found this badass N.W.A t-shirt.

Check it

There was also an amusing moment when my friend asked if they had any "Wolverine is my Hero" shirts in a bigger size and was informed that they only make the shirt in girl sizes and that the text "Wolverine is my Hero" is supposedly written in lipstick and not blood as we originally thought.

I was just about ready to leave when I saw this baby.....

Man................ I love The Punisher. He kicks so much ass. He's like my second favorite comic book character after Batman. So I was very delighted to find that there has been an energy drink created in his honor. Also this baby was only 98 cents so I bought 5 of these off clearance.
But how does it taste.

Pretty bad actually. I'm not a big fan of energy drinks in general so my opinion may be a little biased. I mean I guess it doesn't taste any worse than a Rockstar or Red Bull but I mean it's got nothing on a glass of kool-aid or gatorade. If I had to describe the flavor I would say it is a mixture of these flavors standard energy drink flavor, some fruit and punishment. I'd say on a scale of 1 to Punish, I'd probably give it like a 4.

As you can see from the photos the beverage has a pink/red or maybe a magenta color to it. Perhaps recieving it's color from the blood of the Punisher's victims it is also quite fizzy perhaps from....... carbonation or something.

I will say this though, it really punished my lack of energy

Things I Don't Understand Vol.1

2009-07-23T13:26:00.000-07:00

Here is some stuff I don't understand.

Robocop has been one of my favorites movies since I was about 3 years old. I have very fond memories of watching Robocop as a toddler. Some of the most fond memories I have of this movie are watching the OCP executive getting blown away by ED-209 and seeing Murphy have his brains blown out the back of his head. I remember just jumping for joy every time I watched those scenes as a young lad. I must have seen that movie about 100 times, but there was one thing I never understood and that brings me to the 1st thing I don't understand.

How and when does Robocop go to the bathroom? Or does he go at all?

They explain early on in the movie that Robo eats a baby food like substance that is good for his remaining organs, but like does he have to shit that stuff out? Like when he isn't fighting crime they have him sleep in some chair. Is there some type plumbing pipe in the chair that goes into his robot anus? Maybe he just poops all over the road. Who knows? I don't, that's why I'm writing about this crazy nonsense.

Here's another thing.

In movies, I'll use Die Hard for example. The main character is named John McClane and is played by Bruce Willis. Everything good? Now what I don't understand is Bruce Willis an actor in Die Hard and John McClane's universe or is John McClane just a guy who looks and talks just like Bruce Willis?

Have these men met? Has John McClane ever said "Man, that hollywood actor looks just like me"?

and for that matter is Uncle Buck dead? I mean the actor that played him John Candy is dead, but is Uncle Buck dead? And if he is dead did Macully Culkin's character go to his funeral? I guess we'll never know until the sequel "Uncle Buck: Still Buck After All These Years" is greenlit.

Rip?

Scientology!!!

2009-07-22T06:36:00.000-07:00

I just thought I'd post this picture that my friend and I made about 2 years ago. I bet there are a lot of guys in the church of Scientology just hanging out in lab coats talking about science.

The Butt Files. Volume 1

2009-06-07T01:43:00.001-07:00

So the other day I was attending a bonfire with some friends, when one of them mentioned that they were finally feeling better after being completely sunburned for about a week. I then proceeded to tell my friend that putting tea on your sunburns is very effective in taking out the pain and sting. He then said that I was gay and should shut up. I then relayed a story to all of the bonfire attendees. The story is that 2 summers ago, I decided I needed to get tanned to get all sexified for the females, so I went outside to lay in the sun. I laid down onto my folded lawn chair, listened to my ipod and proceeded to get attractive with the help of the sun's ultraviolet rays. After listening to Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch for 2 hours straight I decided that I had enough and I went inside to my air conditioned home. About an hour later I was at work chefing up the grill when all of a sudden I felt some explosive diarreaha brewing and I had to throw up. So I asked the manager if I could go home for a bit and take a dookie. He concurred. I went home and to my surpise I was dookie free, but my body was completely sunburned. Somehow the sun gave me artificial diarrehea. My mom then told me that I should make a pitcher of ice tea and apply some tea via cloth to my burns and it will draw the heat out. I said fuck that I'll take a bath in it because I'm completely burned and I have to speed this up.

So I filled up the tub, got naked, and poured a bunch of Nestea power and ice cubes into the tub. I really can't stress enough that like if there wasn't a naked body in the tub you could have had strong great tasting ice tea served out of this tub. After spending about an hour in the tub, I decided I needed to get out and go back to work. Much to my surpise the tea effectively took away a lot of my pain. After telling all of the bonfire attendees this eventful story they said I was weird and told me to shut up.
