Adult Swim: The greatest place for Horrible adults

I thoroughly enjoy watching adult swim and I figured I'd give my loyal readers a few examples of what makes adult swim great. Now everyone knows about ROBOT CHICKEN and many people remember the stupidity that is Aqua Teen Hunger Force, but Adult Swim has many more examples of awesome comedy for the immature to offer. Take of example the ultimate show that BET wanted to see killed... The Boondocks.



That was my personally favorite offensive character A Pimp Named Slick Back which is the only reason I still laugh everytime I hear Kat Williams talk. Now this is personally the best clip in the entire history of the show



Another great example of what makes adult swim great is my personally favorite cartoon since Looney Tunes as a child.... The Venture Brothers. Yes i know its nothing more then a fucked up take on a Johnny Quest family gone wrong, but dammit the show is just too funny.





and finally one of the more obscure shows that is truly great MORAL OREL. I find this show truly enjoyable because of my christian school days and how if it were up to the administration this is what American life would be like.



and now this is one heck of a sermon

Korea does it again

I love foreign film. I adore zombie and vampire movies. While surfing around hulu I came across the best trailer I have seen this year. Its a movie telling a vampire story the way I like it. Sex, Violence and RELIGION; those are the best ingredients for any Vampire gorefest and the movie THIRST out of Korea has all that and then some. I personally can't wait for my chance to see this movie. Hell even if it turns out to be a horrible horrible horror movie it will still be entertaining seeing as there is no such thing as a HORRIBLE horror movie. They are ALL bad it just comes down to the level of horrific violence they contain. I know many out there may disagree, but in my experience all Horror movies are good for what they are suppose to be. Most times someone speaks of an absolutely wretched Horror movie I have found that movie to be an attempted Thriller and a bad THRILL does not a horror movie make. No my friends all horror movies no matter how low the budget are doing what they are suppose to do. Bad acting Bad storyline No real direction that's FINE in the realm of horror as long as with those negatives comes a ton of blood and maybe a laugh or two. On the other hand Thrillers can be bad simply for the fact they are trying to either keep you in suspense or make you jump when they tell you to jump. There is too much direction in the Thriller Genre. Horror is about the freedom they don't tell you when to scream they give you enough blood guts and gore so YOU can make that decision for yourself. You may not be freaked out initially, but after 1.5 or 2 hours of gross out factor you will feel like you are finally getting what you paid for. Well anyway I love horror for the sake of you get what you pay for. You may not get a story or even a thrill but you will get to see what a person's insides look like and what more can you ask from any low budget crapfest?

at 28 I shouldn't feel old

28 is so far from old its funny. Hell even 30 isn't old, but I am finding myself more and more out of touch with what the YOUNG are finding cool. Hip and Popular just aren't making sense to me at all these days. Now I've never been what you would call HIP, also I have never gone out of my way to be considered cool; but with that being said what the hell IS COOL anyway. I mean has anyone really paid attention to POKER FACE chick LADY GAGA? Singing self admitted soulless POP music and dressing as bizarrely as humanly possible. What does she do it for you ask? I have no freaking clue outside of wanting the attention of the masses. Now personally I'm all for someone wanting the attention of the masses, but I believe in getting it and using it for something productive. Don't dress like a crazy half naked person just because you want the women to find you stylish and the men to want you naked (which I don't understand those who want to see her bare it all, she's just not all that). Now my lack of connection to what's now doesn't just end with music. I may not understand GAGA, MILEY, DRAKE, T Pain and all their popularity; but what people are reading baffles me as well. The ultimate issue with the WRITTEN WORD is the fact BOOKS and MAGAZINES no longer rule the roost. The written word has shifted to the forum that I myself have been working for years at this point... THE BLOG; and it pains me to say I'm far from being the king of the blogging community (which comes as such a shock to me). No the man that rules the web when it comes to BLOGLIFE is a shit talking celebri-holic who spends so much time either pointing out every ones flaws or simply forces what he thinks is COOL down our throats (lady Gaga, Mika, Beth Ditto, etc). I have never had more disgust for one person then I have for Mr Hilton. I swear every time I see this douches smile I just want to see him popped in the grill by several angry celebs who are as fed up with his shit as I am. I think the biggest knock I have on the guy is the simple fact that whenever I have seen him confronted by an angry celebrity all he does is back down and kiss ass. My feelings when it comes to writing is if you have balls enough to print it you should balls enough to back it up plain and simple. Over the years I've written plenty of things that people have come across and had strong feelings against what I said. I didn't back down I listen I process their view and I express my view and my feelings on how I could have said such a thing. That's what you do when you have beliefs and opinions you don't fold up everything you believe in and kiss someones ass simply because they make more money then you. Who gives a fuck you sorry ass pussy stand up for yourself. If you are and ASSHOLE then be an ASSHOLE it's just that simple. Now movies are the only place I don't feel like an OLD MAN i just feel like I'm "SENSIBLE". Me not liking some of the big blockbusters of the year have less to do with my age and more to do with me possessing common sense. The best example of common sense is the fact that I'm one of the what 30 maybe 50 people who refused to see TRANSFORMERS 2. It amazes me a movie as badly written, badly acted, and with such horrible reviews has been able to rake in 370+ million dollars to date. If you doubt me and my so called SENSE well I suggest you read the best review I have read of the movie and it will all become clear to you: Topless Robot Review
Once I read their review I was shocked and astounding that I knew so many people who went, but of the people I knew that went few seemed to truly enjoy the movie outside of the fact they got to see a bunch of shit go boom.
All this being said I love my age I love i grew up in the 90s and became an adult in the beginning of this new Millennium. I fear for my little sister (12 years old) and her generation. What will become of this young generation with guides to life like Miley Cyrus (16 year old Diva who dated a 21 Man with parental permission); books/films like Twilight (Its nothing more then Vampire porn for kids. Oh but he won't suck her he's abstaining... All i can say to this is BITE ME ass munch pick up an Anne Rice book or go rent "Let The Right One In" if you want to see a REAL VAMPIRE story bitches). Damn youth I'll take my late twenties over any of these young kids early teens.

Simplify

Life my friends is all about balance whether it be balancing school & work or career & kids or simply slacking off & sleep; BALANCE is the delicate fabric on which or existence sits. Most people in this world feel odd out of sorts or just plain crazy. These feelings are all the result of living an off balanced existence. I have learned this from experience. For I am living a life that is definitely askew. At this very moment I find myself searching for balance or at least clarity. Life is definitely an adventure its up to you whether its an EPIC or an instructional PAMPHLET. Their is nothing wrong with either, but personally I'm going for an Epic in the style of Homer. I want to stand toe to toe with the greats to stare the gods in the eye and demand all the answers mankind has been too scared to ask. Now that is what I call a truly fulfilled life. That life is one with balance and I can only hope to truly find NIRVANA as I pursue in the quest for the way of the Yang.... No worries for I have already found my YING

Back home but the memories REMAIN


Had a great time getting to know my future home. The sun the surf the freeways the people all the good and even some of the bad I experience just helped me see why my Wife is so wrapped up in the place she continues to call home. I had plenty of time to take in all the sights, now it was hardly my first trip to Southern Cali not even close; but it was the first time I truly looked at the place with an open mind. I still hate the damn freeways don't get me wrong I'll take San Francisco freeways anyday over the craziness that is LA drivers. Bad driving and road rage aside it was such a fun adventure running around the various coastal communities. We spent a large amount of time in my Nikki's beloved Huntington Beach which was a beautiful community though crazy crowded. I had fun looking at the sand the surf and all the sick people crowding Main Street like they'd never seen shops before. I did find myself daydreaming of wealth and riches for the opportunity to live along the Southern California coastline just for the simple beauty of it. Only thing that stands out to me about it though is I have a distinct feeling to truly take advantage of some of the Locales we were looking into I'd have to take up surfing in order to truly feel like I belong. I don't know if I'm meant to surf, but I'm pretty sure my ass will never be able to balance on a little board atop a wave. Yeah surfing doesn't look like its in the cards for me, but I do feel that it would be a necessary evil in order to truly blend with my Environment.

Fun in the Sun

This has been the best vacation I've had in years. Being in the site of my future home (Southern California) has been extremely good for me. I've been able to learn a little more of the landscape I know my way around well enough not to get totally hopelessly lost. Frankly I'm enjoying the sights and sounds of the area. Don't get me wrong I'll always be a San Francisco lover and if I had the real opportunity to buy a place and live there happily I'd do it in a second, but cost and economy stand forever in my way. This past weekend has been pretty good spent time with the in laws (Mom, Dad, Brother & Great Grandma) and finally saw a close friend I've been away from for like 5 years. Yes that's right half a decade away from friends, so time spent here has been great for me. I am truly looking forward to moving here so I can be close to the people who have meant a lot to me friends and family wise. Tomorrow I hope to cap off this great trip with a Dave & Buster evening like
no other I just hope that its a possibility and not just a delusional dream

LA, LBC, HB, the OC all this fun is infront of me

There is no question I am a NorCal boy through and through. Ive spent my whole life shuffling between the bay area and central valley. Ive lived in San Francisco, Oakland, Antioch, Stockton & Hayward. I've Worked in Concord, San Mateo, San Rafael, Pinole & El Sobrante. I've been shuffled off to see family in Modesto, Fresno, Hanford & Sacramento. Needless to say I live and die NorCAl, but that was until I ventured off to Las Vegas, NV and married a SoCal girl. Now I am happy to say I'm good with just being a CALIFORNIA. No more North vs South no more HELLA vs THE (followed by a freeway) No I'm proud to say I now see AMERICA as CALIFORNIA and the West vs all points east. Is that wrong? Well anyway as I write this I am preparing for my wife and I's trip to her beloved Southern California. It will be our first trip there without it being about a holiday or a special event. We are going just to go and I feel that is what will make it fun.

I am so excited to be heading down to LA; so we can see our friends and families. In our trips prior I was never able to catch up with my So Cal bound friends, and Nicole was never able to spend quality time with hers. I feel all our former trips were simply about her reconnecting and me getting to know her family. This time I want to have fun with Friends or at least adventure out and have fun together. No home bound time, we will have little choice but to be out and about be it with friends family or all alone. This is the time to "Basque in the ESSENCE of SoCal GLORY!" - Niktovis Butlerari aka Nikki's crazy ass. All I know is NorCal has been my fun past but its time for me to prepare for my SO CAL future. I know it won't be at all bad with all the friends and family I have living in the area, but I know there is much I need to prepare for. One thing is for sure next time I make this trip we are FLYING there. An Hour flight is much better then a 6 or 7 hour car ride. See America my ass; I'd be much happier to be soaring through a cloud then roaring down Interstate 5.

Rest In Peace

This has been a sad few weeks full of death and tragedies. Every time you pick up a paper(not that anyone does that anymore) or turn on the news or check your twitter page there is another dead celebrity or fatal accident taking place. It saddens me on a few different levels, not just the fact that another life was lost, but also the fact that it forces me hell all of us to face our own mortality. As much as the death of the original MJ was a shock and truly sadden me nothing could prepare me for the MURDER of Steve "Air" McNair. McNair was one of those amazing athletes that made you realize talent and skill can come from anywhere. To this day he still holds records in division I-AA football. He was one of the black QBs that made even the harshest stand up and take notice that a black man can be a success under center without just being a flashy gimmick a la Kordell "Slash" Stewart or a runner a la Randall Cunningham. McNair truly was an all around talent and though his career had long ended (well not that long he retired after the 07 season), he still did humanitarian works to make a difference in his community. This was a man to be admired but know that he's been taken away from the world a lot of murky details of his life are being pushed to the forefront. Now is it just me or does it seem after the angel of death has kindly removed you from the hell that is LIFE on EARTH all your secrets find their way out into the public. I don't know about you my kind hearted readers, but I would hate for any and every skeleton that's been stashed deep inside my closet; I'm talking way in the back behind the shame of a first kiss gone wrong and next to a premature ejaculation setting a la American Pie; to be presented to the public as if that's what I would want to be remembered by. America is a sad place for how we treat those we deem CELEBRITIES especially how we feel the need to invade every part of their lives especially after they are dead. It's bad enough that over the course of the last week I've heard every possible fucked up story about Michael Jackson and his kids and his money and all the other things he was barely able to keep private while living, but now I have all this horrible news about McNair and his after hour activities so to speak. Thanks to his murder apparently at the hands of his 20 year old lover I now know this revered humanitarian sports hero was cheating on his wife betraying his 4 sons and been doing so for awhile. Also he seems to have been associated with some shady people; all I know is if i walk into the condo i co-own with a buddy (don't get me started on two grown mean sharing a booty shack/non-bachelor bachelor pad together) and find said buddy bloody on the living room sofa with the girl he's been seeing bleeding from the head I'm not going to call our OTHER friend to see what should be done. Now I know I've never been in the situation and I know our bodies and minds go through shock when confronted by such an extreme scene, but i think by reflex I'd dial 911 I mean COME ON what the hell was that about.
Well I don't have any kind way to close this out like in life this post comes with no happy endings all I can say is its been a hard few weeks full of sadness and loss I feel for all that have pasts family and loved ones. Also as a friend of so many Disneyheads i can't not mention the Disneyworld tragedy and send out my condolences for the loss of the Disney family as well as the conductors family. Mind blowing few days I tell you absolutely mind blowing.
