Dead Kennedy
I just heard the eulogy that President Obama gave for Ted Kennedy, and I must say I was moved. I love how in death, all sins are forgiven and mistakes are forgotten.
Does anybody else remember Chappaquiddick ?!?
I guess not...
I wonder what wonderful things people will say about me when I'm gone. Maybe people will forget that I'm a bitter, cynical, manipulating, self-absorbed, asshole.
As the song says, "Don't you forget about me," the real me, not some idealized saint.
I hate this world, and that still won't change when I become a piece of stiff, cold, meat.
Feel free to send flowers, I'm sure my family will appreciate the sentiment.

The Golden Rule
I try to live life by the Golden Rule:
"Treat others as you would want them to treat you"
But then I have friends that tell me:
"Don't do things for people, if you expect something in return"
So wouldn't it be logical to assume that If I do something for you, I would naturally want you to do something for me at a later date? Any less would be foolish in my book, or just plain selfish/lazy. Repay your debts.
So just keep that in mind if I do you a favor. I don't care what your personal beliefs are. You owe me.

How to be a Player
Recently I've been called a player by two different people. I'm the least player in the world, but my life has been rife with the drama of more than one woman in my life. Now,that I been labeled a Player I would like to share some advice with the brothers out there that might not have such luck with the ladies.
It's simple fellas there only one rule:
Be Yourself*
*Make sure that "yourself"; means to make sure that you are handsome, charming, rich, well-endowed, and drive a nice car

Transformers 2: Revenge of the fallen (What went wrong?!?)
***SPOILER ALERT*** long winded nerdy rant ahead !!!
I've been a voracious Transformers nerd for over half my life, and even though I really wanted a sequel for the 2007 live action movie to come out, this was hardly what I expected or even wanted. As a fan I had to swallow a bunch of nonsense when Micheal Bay (and his writer henchmen, Roberto Orci & Alex Kurtzman, who I really blame for this bastardization of my childhood joy) Actually I can't blame Micheal Bay, because this was a hyper action packed visual effects-fest that he has been known to deliver. But the story that was way too convoluted and ever so slightly resembled key moments of the Transformers canon. Now I will refer to the cartoon series (Generation One series, the 1986 movies and the following Generation Two series, that continued on after the drastic changes to the Transformers universe after the 1986 movie) The Beast Wars, Machine Wars and various Anime reincarnations hardly hold a candle to th Original Series arc.
Heres where the writers of REVENGE OF THE FALLEN, went dreadfully wrong:
1) In the movie, Optimus Prime delivers the killing blow to an already dying opponent (The robot that gives the warning of the revenge of the FALLEN character. The Cartoon Prime has always shown fool hearty pity for all sentient beings and would NEVER kill a dying opponent, no matter how nasty they were. If there was even an inkling of redemption, Optimus would redeem their life. Now, if Ironhide had delivered the killing blow and Optimus chastised him on the killing; that would be more in theme with the merciful Optimus Prime we've all grown to love
2) Mudflap and Skidz (the twins)- Are you kidding me ?!? Wheres Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson to protest these Jar Jar Binks / Stepin Fetchit caricatures? I thought it was bad enough when Jazz said "What's crackin' little bitches" in part one. These two characters are so offensive that even a callous bastard like me, got douche chills. Big-eared, gold-toothed, illiterate, ebonics talking buffoons that dominated the whole damn movie (and gave me a headache) Optimus Prime calls out to the edges of the universe for Autobot back-up, and these are the best recruits he came up with? No wonder he gets killed.
3) Now that were talking about it...Optimus Prime dies. I cried like a bitch when he died in the 1986 movie, then. it was a touching scene, with swelling music that made me feel the finality of death. His last words "Till the day, Till all are one" was haunting. In the new movie, all he says is "Sam!!! Run!!!" Hardly ominous. We knew he would be back in the third act to fight and defeat the FALLEN. Sam revives him with the Autobot Matrix Of Leadership
4) Sam revives him with the Autobot Matrix Of Leadership ?!? WTF? That's not what the Matrix is for. The Matrix carries along with it wisdom of the ages, NOT resurrection powers. That's what the AllSpark Cube is for, if we are going to follow the logic of the new movies. As a matter of fact, in the Generation Two series, when the Matrix was put into a destroyed Optimus Prime, he goes CRAZY. The Matrix has way too much power for a damaged robot to handle, which is why in the Generation Two series Optimus Prime hands back the Matrix to Rodimus Prime.
5) All of a sudden there are all kinds of shards of the AllSpark Cube from the 2007 movie, that Sam has a piece and the Government has a piece. How convenient. The AllSpark Cube was SUPPOSED to completely dissolved into Megatron's chest, hence killing him. In the 2007 movie, Sam touches the cube (cradling it like a football), yet in the 2009 movie. he goes completely bonkers on just touching a shard. Come on.
6) I know Sam Witwicky (Call him SPIKE, God Dammit !!!) can run pretty fast, growing up a nerd and running from jocks. But I cant believe that he can outrun a 40 foot robot that can transform into a friggin JET!!! With all the special effects, you would think we could better disguise Shia Labeouf's stunt double, instead of just ducking his head and letting the wig cover his face. I can believe that alien robots can transform into sports cars and trucks, but I CAN'T believe that Mikaela (Megan Fox) can fall truly, madly, deeply in love with Sam (Shia LaBeouf). She's too hot. it defies all physics. She is also too hot to be a motorcycle mechanic at least smudge her face, put a bandana on her...something.
7)Two Words - Devestator's balls... none of the constructicons had wrecking balls. stop pandering to the lowest common denominator
8) Since when does Ravage vomit up even smaller robots? Perceptor is a good guy
Things they got right
1) Soundwave (Muthafukin' SOUNDWAVE !!!!) is in the movie. Finally they did something right. Including the fact that he was voiced by Frank Welker that did the original Cartoon voice. He even deploys Ravage to scout out the governments piece of the AllSpark Shard. The loyal Lieutenant SHOULD have gotten a bigger roll than, just some glorified satellite.
2) Insecticons - Yes they were small and not as cool as Shrapnel, Kickback, or Bombshell, but their cameo in the Egypt tomb was welcome
3) Jetfire - The original decepticon-to-autobot turncoat
4) Sam joining the Autobot Matrix of Leadership legacy. Sure he's human, but I thought that was cool

I bet you think this blog is about you
You know what they say about mothers-in-law...well it's all true. I love how an absentee mother is going to lecture me on how to be a good husband. And don't you DARE mention my parents !!! My parents have been better to your daughter, than you ever were in the past 27 years (and YES she has told me that several times). Religious hypocrite that condemns me to hell then hopes that I receive blessings all in the same breath. Talk about hypocrisy; a so-called lesbian with a naturally born child. So you fooled one man into conceiving a child and concealed that information from him for 13 years. Yeah real good parenting; and all the while that same child was DUMPED on the grandparents to be raised by people who already raised their children; leaving a (wonderful, yet) feeble old woman to raise a teenager. Your MOTHER raised your daughter, NOT YOU. Don't try to rewrite history. The small time she lived in Harlem (mind you in your girlfriend's apartment) barely makes up for the years of neglect. I BOUGHT my own home. I didn't inherit it it from my significant other when they died of aids. I'm gainfully employed with my own career and not forced to work temp jobs well into my 50's. Kinda sad.
Don't speculate on my dealings with my new love. That's none of your business. She's a wonderful person, who's made me feel better about myself. That's all you need to know. So watch your tongue. What would Jesus do? Not talk shit about a person they never met.
Well if you're reading this, it turns out you do read my blogs and personally I'm flattered since I seem to be the only thing you want to write about. I have a life that doesn't include worrying about other peoples' problems. I subscribe to every blog friend on all my friends list. Even though Ayesha is no longer a "friend" on my myspace, the subscription still holds. And seeing that they're all about me, it's justifiable that I read them. The same way you're reading my little scribblings.
So may the light of God shine down in your heart, now that you've put a demon like me in my place. You're opinion of me means nothing to me. Never did. Never will. I just want you to see how it feels for people to talk about your business. Have a nice life. Before you help me with the splinter in my eye, get the LOG out of yours.

Turning 32 (or as I like to refer to it as turning 16 again)
It's been an impossibly long time since I've blogged, and there's a reason why. My life has been a roller coaster for the past 3 months. I've entered my official midlife crisis. I turned 32 on June 14th. Seeing that 3/4ths of my grandparents have died in their sixties, it's not too far gone to call 32 'Mid-life'.
The wife and I are on the outs. Not divorced, not yet, but I've been too busy to get a lawyer. I'm not going to lie, I've been seeing somebody else. The cat is already out of the bag so no need to dance around the subject. People keep saying, "You should have done it right. You should have gotten divorced first before you started seeing someone else." What these people don't understand is that my marriage was over a long time ago way before the new girl entered. I asked for a separation several times, but would eventually give in. It was a 'If you can't beat them, join them' scenario, where just to keep the peace, I acted like everything was okay when it certainly wasn't. I should have stuck to my original intentions, and she would have been gone before the whole mess blew up.
My wife and I couldn't seem to agree, on what are roles were supposed to be in the marriage. I've been paying every single bill of our household for the past three years (including her cell phone, premium cable, electric, gas, Internet, groceries, Mortgage, home insurance, property tax, health insurance, ect. Not to mention my car maintenance so that I can chauffeur her around) Over the past three years my wife went to culinary school and has been putting all her money towards tuition and her own living incidentals (commuting, beauty care, fast food, alcohol, ect.)
I have no luxuries. I don't drive a fancy car, or wear expensive clothing, or blow my money hanging out with the guys. So you can imagine my disgust that at times my wife got her tax return, or for her birthday/Christmas she preferred designer label purses, extravagant electronic devices (an expensive digital camera, and ipod touch, a blackberry pearl AND a blackberry curve). Last year I worked 385 hours of overtime and brought in 3/4s of the total house income. So is it wrong that I get angry when I see her being wasteful, when money could have been spent paying off high student loans?
And what do I ask for? To come home to a clean house. To not see food rotting in the fridge, or dirty plates in the sink (hardly the expected behavior of someone who gets paid to handle and prepare food for a living). The wife feels that it is degrading for a woman to do a man's laundry. I do my own laundry, and in many fits of generosity, I've done HER laundry more times than I care to count. I've actually had to have my own mother come over to our house and help me clean up the mess. Don't forget I work 48 hour weeks and sacrifice sleep and my health to come home to a disaster area. You would also assume that being married to a chef would mean I would eat like a king, when I have to beg for maybe one meal a day, so I can take to work, and pay all of her bills. Now that were separated she's living in my house, still bill free, not preparing Any food for me.
Yes the law might state that she deserves half of my stuff in the divorce. But morally what do you think? Is it fair?
Now, I'm supposed to be the scumbag because I'm seeing somebody else on the side. Up until three months ago I've been a loyal husband, and I wish I can say the same thing about her. She violated the sanctity of our marriage not just months after I purchased our home and just a little over a year that we were married. Two wrongs don't make a right but they do make them even. My female friends have made me a pariah, because I now represent what they hate the most, an disloyal man. It's funny to see who your friends are (or who you THINK your friends are) when you do something that they don't approve of especially when it doesn't directly affect them. I would never turn my back on people, the way they turned their back on me. Judge not lest ye be judged yourself. I've now seen their true colors.
On the flip side I have friends that have been very supportive of me and my decisions. To those people I really appreciate the support. Life is short ;seize the day; follow your heart (and all those other clichés). In the past two years I lost a very close friend and my cousin, both in their early thirties when they passed. So why should I continue to live unhappy? I could die tomorrow (I'm not planning on going anywhere, anytime soon, so cool the suicide anxiety) Life is fucking hard. It always had been for me. I made myself the man I am today with no help from anyone else. If I have to start over, so be it. What doesn't kill me, makes me stronger.
I've been a good man up to this point. Though, not everyone would agree with that opinion. Now I have to follow what makes me happy. I've already hit the halfway mark, so do I really want to waste the other half. I want to take care of my health and my happiness. No doubt I'll live more than 64 years. Our generation is more knowledgeable than our grandparents'. Nobody is promised tomorrow. A truck could wipe me out, or stray bullet could pierce my cranium. Stuff happens.
If you've read this far, I appreciate the effort. Time to get back to living my life.

"Maybe self-improvement isn't the answer, maybe self-destruction is the answer." - Tyler Durden
And you open the door and you step inside
Were inside our hearts
Now imagine your pain is a white ball of healing light
That's right your pain, the pain of self is a white ball of healing lightI don't think so This is your life
Good to the last drop
Doesn't get any better then this
This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time. This isn't a seminar and this isn't a weekend retreat
Where you are now you can't even imagine what the bottom will be like Only after disaster can we be resurrected
It's only after you've lost everything that you're free to do anything
Nothing is static, everything is evolving, everything is falling apart
This is your life...
It doens't get any better then this
This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake
You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else
We are all the a part of the same compost heap
we are the all singing all dancing crap of the world You are not your bank account
You are not the clothes you wear
You are not the contents of your wallet
You are not your bowel cancer
You are not your grande late
You are not the car your drive
You are not your fucking khakis You have to give up
You have to give up
You have to realize that someday you will die
Until you you know that you are useless I say let me never be complete
I say may I never be content
I say deliver me from swedish furniture
I say deliver me from clever art
I say deliver me from clear skin and perfect teeth
I say have to give up
I say evolve and let the chips fall where they may This is your life
This is your life
It doesn't get any better then this
This is your life
This is your life
And it's ending one minute at a time You have to give up
You have to give up
I want you to hit me as hard as you can
I want you to hit me as hard as you can Welcome to fight club
If this is your first night
You have to fight

See Me on David Letterman - A clip from more than ten years back
At Approximately 6:37 of this clip you will see me and my buddy Eric, going crazy for David Letterman. We got tickets for a great show. Will Smith was promoting "Independence Day" Demi Moor, was promoting "Strip Tease", but her head was shaved, because she was filming G.I. Jane. Then Prince cam out and performed a song that was recorded for another show the next day. That show kicked ass, I became part of history. I knew I was destined to be famous
Watch the rest of the clips Here P.S. THANK YOU !!!!!!! Jonz66

Watchmen
I'll be the first to admit it, I did not like the comic book. I understand that it wasn't supposed to be a "Typical Comic Book", but I get why it's relevant now, as relevant as it was in 1986-87
SPOILERS
The movie version was pretty faithful to the source material, except for the third act, in which Dr. Manhattan is blamed for the attack, as opposed to a fake alien attack in the comics
Was it necessary to constantly see the blue dick in every scene? Hey Zack ever heard of a close-up? After 300, I'm starting to question my sexuality
Alan Moore (the writer) was a bit of a Misogynist, every woman is treated like an object and these women take pride in getting ogled, trophies to be saved by their big strong men. Also very stereotypical lesbians
I didn't initially pickup all the clock symbolism in the comic- Minutemen, the Doomsday Clock, The clockwork mars spaceship, Dr. Manhattan's forehead symbol (looks like a clock pointing to midnight)
Isn't the Nightowl supposed to be fat? Yet, when he's naked he's in great shape.
In a movie with so many visual effects, couldn't we get better aging make-up? it LOOKED like make-up. This thing is gonna be on Blu-Ray for christ's sake
They didn't fix, a reflection of Dr Manhattan in the Nightowl's goggles (scene after Nixon makes his announcement for world peace). We see Billy Crudup in his LED glow suit (once again, this is gonna be on Blu-Ray one day)
THANK YOU for leaving out the "Black Freighter" nonsense pirate comic book subplot
With that all said, I leave you this

Fans of Bruce Springsteen don't sicken me (For once)
FUCK Ticketmaster, why hasn't the government stepped in on that monopoly
Bruce Springsteen fans complained that tickets that JUST went on sale, were "Sold Out" and those same fans were redirected to TICKETSNOW, (a ticketmaster auction site, where they get all types of extra fees for overpriced tickets)
Story Here
I had the EXACT same experience when I bought Metallica tickets a few months ago, Do I have a case? Can I jump on their bandwagon?
Generally, Springsteen fans are overweight has-beens wearing their stretchy khaki pants, trying to relive the 80's (their GLORY DAYS lol)
But I guess the enemy, of my enemy, is my friend
Thank you for speaking up, my fellow Jersey-ans, please don't kick me out for my sacrilege
