Peter Gunn yo!

Well, well, well....it turns out that Peter Gunn episodes are available on the 'net, BUT...not for long. Here's a peak at what one site has...

LikeTelevision Embed Movies and TV Shows


As for other places to find Gunn, well I have my ways of finding out that I don't wish to reveal as they have a nasty habit of being shut down the more discussion is revealed. But ah, who cares? Lycos is being shut down in a week anyways, so head over there to check Gunn episodes out as well. Word to the "'Mother" on the piano at "Mother's"....

Thoughts on Pineapple Express

Yes, I finally saw this film after a long time of waiting for just the right time to watch this but alas, tonight I said fuck it and decided to watch it. For the supposed rebirth of the stoner-comedy-buddy film, I wasn't very impressed. In fact, I was pissed off. Waaaayyy too much action that's done with guns. Anyone with half a brain who knows anything about stoner comedies knows that the one thing that kill a good stoner comedy laugh-along is prolonged gun fights. During the last act of the film, there's so much gun-firing coming out of nowhere that I completely stopped caring about whatever the plot was supposed to be about. I give this film two stars max, and that's only because of the first half of the film.

Hopefully someday someone can answer for me why the third and final act had to kill off everything that this movie had going for it. Hell, even Beverly Hills Cop managed to be more funny than cool while still including a lot of gunfire action. The problem here of course is balance. There's no balance between the action sequences and comedy sequences. The dialogue suffers as well in the third act as some of the worst written shit comes out of the main characters mouths while fighting off the main bad guys and gal. And Daryl from The Office. Is this how he wanted to go out? It's like he didn't have a choice as he needed the exposure in branching out of the tv series into films. Final verdict? It's like the weed wore off halfway through the writing process and the screenwriters went with their lost drugged thought "Uhhhh....stoner action heroes?" This had potential to be better, not a whole lot but enough. With the strong buzz from "Superbad", Seth Rogan and friends were able to phone this one in and bring in enough media attention to sell this ditch weed like it was high-grade schwag, screwing over their fans with the ultimate con.

MASSIVE UPDATE UNDERWAY, STAY TUNED!

Hey everyone out there with your radio chillin' by your side, I am currently in the process of throwing up music reviews, concert updates and more in an attempt to resuscitate this poor site back to life! Yay! Stay tuned as I throw up my adventures in New York City hanging out with Peelander-Z at their studio, grabbing drinks and even crashing a private art showing with Peelander-Yellow showing off some of his personal artwork. Wah?!

Until then, all I have to say is keep checking back and be sure to also check out the links section below as I've listed a wealth of sites dedicated to Japanese music so you can stay up on your knowledge...

Yet another addictive game brought to you by Miniclip.com

this is just ridiculous...how could they improve upon the Raiden aircraft shoot'em up genre even more?! That arcade series was my favorite arcade game of ALL TIME back in the day (still is), something that was readily available at all airports, malls, indoor soccer complexes and dive bars. This game that Miniclip has is along the same lines but presents a much cooler aspect to it. And oh yeah....R-type. Can't forget R-type. That game along with Raiden just revolutionized the coin-up industry, in my view at least. Anyways, click on the link below to play what I believe to be a long lost bastard of these two arcade giants, entitled "Fat Cat."

hello? can anyone hear me?

Far from content with the current path I'm walking these days, I feel an absolute need to vent in any way, form or means necessary. At the present moment, I'm being reminded why I really enjoy a good noisy raucous, so this one goes out to the group Lightning Bolt, to which I'm currently blaring in my ear drums. Thank you and may I never forget just why you indeed rock so hard. These are harsh, crazy times for me and I'm not getting any older. What better to help ease the burden of unheeded responsibilty that's squaring off against my untarnished reputation for self-destruction.

Oh yeah, I should probably mention that at some point or another for my penchant to screw up whatever hopes I have for myself down the line in the near moments or years to come. Why this is I still have yet to solve. The only theory I have so far is that I just enjoy setting myself up for failure, as if my sub-conscious gets off on seeing my conscious dreams dashed, my hopes squandered. Who knows?

And yet, this can't continue on for too much longer. There's just not enough life left for me to mess with before I truly do rid myself of any hope to escape Kansas. Yes, above everything else in my mind is that singular desire which I desperately continue to believe is just destiny waiting to be fulfilled. Wow, this post just may be what I needed to re-direct my reasons for trying this semester. I feel that I focus on a goal that's not only achievable but also something that I've been wanting if not needed, then I will have found the key to unlock the door behind which lies my vast amount of potential. Waiting, wanting, my potential is exponential to my ability to shut it off from ever enabling me to truly accomplish my dreams.

This is where a therapist steps in and tells me what I need to do. But then, my older brother would say "Just Do It." Wait, my older brother is a Nike slogan? Hmmm...simple enough and yet forever unreachable. This simplistic ethos is something of a mystery for my mind to wrap around and so will continue to haunt me from the rafters, laughing unremittingly and inappreciatively until my mind can take no more. At this point, I believe, my mind would surely die out and collapse into a dark star of grief and sorrow, emerging only as the phoenix of regret to take shape as the new and improved...me.

Until then, here's me. Waiting.

Wandering around...picking up the pieces of what I was....

This summer is going to be one of self-revelation, or that's what I would hope to get out of it. Instead, the usual symptoms have cropped up so far, including 1) a lack of motivation towards...anything (except my job), 2) basking in the pit of apathy that swallows up my creativity in a sea of disillusionment, and finally 3) accepting my current abandonment of my past self and truding ahead in the bleak tomorrow that I've left in its place. Yeah, this is what happens when I forget to bring my headphones to the coffee shop and have to settle with the crap songs that the baristas choose. Oh, I forgot to mention that I'm at a Shawnee coffee shop which means that the song selection is going to be really bad. Ha!

Moving on, I need to figure out not only how I would like to spend my free time or "not at work" time, but also how to actually get myself started on doing so. I think I need to get out of the house more in order for this to work because the atmosphere at home hasn't been very conducive to writing or anything outside of feeling depressed. Yeah, I definitely need to outline some "safe homes" that will take me in and allow me to progress...with anything. Japanese, Chinese, video editing, German, whatever. All I want is to know that I have something to look forward to after work besides a nap, TV and bedtime. It would seem like the ultimate waste of life to not try at something this summer, whether its honestly attempting to learn another language or actually playing catch-up on my blogs. Whatever it is, I hope that I can continue to do something that will leave a stamp of approval somewhere this summer.

Okay, so now that I've scrapped together my "list of demands", I need to figure out how to best implement this. The audio japanese blog site that I want to learn from is great but the problem there is I would need to say it aloud. Wait, I'm an idiot. I need to download them and fix the bitrate and put them on my Ipod. That's what I should do because then I could take it anywhere. Mmm..

Anyways, what about drumming? The only time I have available is after work when I'm tired or on the weekends when I want to be in Lawrence. I don't know, I think i'm pretty much done with this post and should focus on the post on lessons learned in San Fran this past May. That would be fun. Well wait, I did forget to expound on what I used to do in my spare time last summer. I think I basically wound up engulfing myself in the radio station and going out with friends. So basically, screwing around. Yeah, basically that. Oh wait, no I remember. Last summer I started off doing stuff with the station while working on finishing up my make-up work for J301. Ahhh....so that's what killed off my summer. Can't believe that was really just last summer. It feels like those events all happened in the distant past, another time, another period of my life that I had since erased accidentally while trying to free up some cerebral space..."really? seriously?!" ahh Libby, that quote will remain etched in the side of my head for some time. bye now
