I just got my ass beat by mega man.

So here's the deal.

Blue Ray can go eat a dick. I'm not going for it.

There are a few different reasons I'm not down with the Blue ray but the major one is its just to soon.

Standard DVDs came out around 97 or 98 right? around then. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD
It took over VHS pretty quickly but not that quickly.

I mean I bought the Fellowship of the Ring on VHS you guys.

You GUYS!

That hasn't been that long. DVD's are still perfectly fine. I don't need yet another copy of The Fifth Element.
Also did we really need another format war?
Where people shell out some big bucks to be early adopters only to guess wrong and end up with a $400 useless piece of crap.

My Dad bought an HD DVD player. Its sitting in a closet somewhere now cause its worthless, unless you want to watch the two movies he got with it just before Blue Ray took over.

Also the price point is just ridiculous.Why would I want to pay almost thirty bucks for Resident Evil. When I could Pay $10 for the Matrix... quaddragy?...quintiligy? What the heck is the four movie version of trilogy? Cause it came with the Animatrix also.

Ooh thats a good one I'm gonna watch that while I write the rest of this.



I do agree that Blue Ray does look better I can't argue with that. They say sound quality is sharper as well but i think I would have to have a pretty good sound system to really notice.

There is something that bugs me about the high Def though and it's really hard for me to explain. When the camera moves sometimes I get a kind of motion sickness.

If the foreground is staying relatively still and the background is moving i get this since that the world is moving around the camera and not the other way around.

That's really the only way I can describe it. Watch a movie where something is flying and you might see it.

My final reason is that its to late for another analog format. We are moving to everything being stored on hard drives. Its already happened with music and movies are following suite. When was the last time you used a CD and not your Ipod or Zune or what have you. I have a PC that mostly just serve as a fancy Jukebox with over 500 albums last i checked. My DVD collection however is spilling over a three tier bookshelf, not to mention the several that I've lost over the years.

The only real barricade keeping movies from being as digitized as music is now is their large file size, but with memory getting cheaper and file types getting smaller its only a matter of time. We didn't even have flash memory a few years ago and look how much thats changed how we use media now. Imagine whats next.

So no Blue Ray you lose its to little to late.


"Well I know I'm not dreaming now because I know what is like being in a dream.
So dreaming lets you know that reality exists?
No just that my mind exists, the rest I'm not sure about."
-Animatrix

Oh yeah it was quadrilogy, that's what I was looking for.

This is really just a bunch of crap

Superbowl was entertaining. We had beer and brats and chippy dippy's and there was an annoying drunk dude who locked himself in the bathroom and drunk dialed three individual girls to tell them what he "REALLY" thought about them. I think he may have even cried a little bit.

To damn cold to smoke.

I don't really hold a lot of stock in astrology.
Its not my thing.

I do however think that their is something to it. Can we predict what we should do and how we are going to feel on a day to day basis because of the stars?

Probably not.

But this description of a Pisces is me all over.

So it can't all be malarkey right?


PISCES

In the scheme of astrology each of the zodiac signs supposedly indicates the level of evolution beginning with Aries and finishing with your sign, Pisces. There’s no doubt that the water signs, Pisces being the final and most mature of them, indicates your spiritually developed character.

The ruling symbol of your star sign is the fish and just as the fish lives in the ocean, so to is Pisces suffused with feeling and empathy, the emotions that are characterized by water. You truly are a compassionate and unconditionally loving person. You have a universal approach to the way you live and this is seen in most of your actions. Whenever you see someone suffering, or in some type of trouble, it touches your heart and you can’t help but offer your assistance. Your heart goes out to them. Even if you’re in a hurry, busy doing something else, you’ll take time out of your busy day to lend a helping hand where you can. It is second nature for you to care.

Your friends know you to be a person upon whose shoulders they can rest their weary and heavy heads inn times of stress. They look to you when they feel they need to offload their problems. You’re always there to help reassure and calm them. One of the difficulties with your sensitive nature is that you avoid making hard decisions at times, especially if you feel this is going to undermine someone else. With close friends and family members you’ll do anything to help them but don’t forget you must also help yourself. Some Pisces are so habituated to this attitude that they themselves end up becoming the sacrificial lamb in their relationships. You should try to recognise when you’re being used as no one gains from this. Balancing your needs and those of others is a particularly important lesson for you.

Because you’re an intuitive person you don’t always like to think your problems through. Using your emotions and your deeper intuitive powers is the way you prefer to resolve your life problems, even if others don’t quite see the sense in it. Pisces, you are somewhat of a daydreamer aren’t you? Nevertheless your instincts are powerful and more often than not correct. Your ability to foresee things before it actually happens is quite uncanny. I’ve known many Pisceans who become psychics and clairvoyant as they have the ability to act as mediums. Remember though that intuition can only go so far. Learn to develop your thinking processes as well as your intuitive feelings.

You have an instinctive understanding that there’s a unifying thread throughout all of life. You see this sometimes more clearly than you see the real world. As a result, you can tap into the universal consciousness and produce wonderful works of art and music. You should allow yourself the opportunity to express your vision of life. Culture is important to you ands you love to surround your self with artwork, music poetry and fine furnishings. You’re a very emotional person so you need the support of people to allow you to express this. Sometimes because you’re so hypersensitive it works against you and you end up absorbing the negativity of people around you. You mustn’t let others drag you down into their world of bad feelings.

You’re idealistic about the way you see the world and unfortunately what you see is not in keeping with your aspiration. You have to learn to accept the world with all its faults. Sometimes you’re out of step with the world around you so be careful not to end up living in a world of your own making. You need loving friends to help your feet carefully planted on the ground so your creative dream weaving doesn’t make you impractical. You’re gentle, impressionable and receptive. You want to share your emotions and are also happy to receive the demonstrative love of others. You try to hide just how sensitive you are and if someone insults you tend to suppress these feelings and can become depressed. You mustn’t be afraid to speak up even if you do upset or anger someone by doing so.

You enjoy your own company and are quite satisfied to potter around in a quiet way and enjoy what nature and life have to offer. You’re equally comfortable in a social environment. Sometimes you do feel isolated and a little disconnected from life. This makes you feel dispassionate even if you do seem to be enjoying what is going on.

Because you are an observer of human nature you are philosophical and realise that nothing lasts forever. If, for example, in relationships you have to let go of someone, then so be it. You understand that all good things must pass. Your destiny is primarily connected to wisdom, self-knowledge and compassionate service to the world. You must be free to live your life on these terms and if you’re able to do so you’ll become much more secure within yourself and at the same time can bring great satisfaction to those who are lucky enough to come into contact with you.

Pisces are most compatible with Scorpio, Cancer, Capricorn, Taurus, and Virgo.

Whoa, huge slam on anteaters out of nowhere!

I'm trying hard to play it cool.

If I get to eager to quickly things could go wrong.

Show her I'm funny and sweet, but also kinda of a dick.

Don't let her know how cute I think she is, but don't slip into the friend zone either.

I will refrain from asking her out when I see her again.

Just a friendly wave and maybe a "hey whats up" and then I'm on my way to something I'm more interested in than her.

I have to do this one right, I have to play the game perfectly.

I have to convince her that I barely even notice her.

Cause she is on my mind all day long.

Sigh.
She probably has a boyfriend anyway.

I can say we had a good time though, I will say that.

I saw Cloverfield last night.

I loved it.

Ali hated it.

That should tell you what kind of movie this is.

I won't give anything away buuuuut.

I will say that no music during the credits is one of the strangest things I have ever experienced.

Usually when the movie ends no matter what you are attacked with some kind of blaring score, usually a much louder version of the theme of the movie if there was one.

Not this time.

No this time the movie ends with you jaw o0n the floor and then total silence.

I am not at all kidding when I say that no one moved or said anything for a full minute as the first few credits came and went.

Then in what may have been the best timing ever one guy in the back let out an almost relieved kind of laugh. The kind of laugh you give when you nearly avoid being hit by a bus.

He was immediately followed by an explosion of noise as the entire audience began laughing and applauding.

As I was leaving I wondered what would have happened if no one had said a word and that uncomfortable silence had remained.

I would probably still be sitting there.

Slow and Greasy

Well here I go again on my own.
Welcome to my new blog.
Myspace was getting to the point where I felt I had to start impressing people with my blogs and couldn't just brain dump anymore. What with all the fancy pictures and jokes that have to actually be funny to someone else.
I'm not sure how this blog will shape up or if I will even put any effort into it at all.

I thought it fitting though to start out on a familiar note.

So, I give you Olivia Munn.

I don't think this blog needs quotes.

Mmm... off to a good start I think.
