What would you think if the Internet could carry negative energy and just bad mojo? You’d be thinking that you’re in a movie, because this isn’t at all possible. Alas, this film is still pretty good.
No, I am not joining the navy, or any of the others, but rather I am on their time…my Mac suddenly went from 12-hour mode to 24-hour mode sometime in the last week and I can’t figure out how to set it back! Trust me, it’s NOT in the Date & Time properties. If only it were that simple, lol.
But you know what? I don’t care anymore! The more and more I think about it, 12-hour mode is stupid. I mean, why make a system were the hours repeat? Why not one number for every hour of the day?
This said, I wanna share you a little “trick” I’ve discovered…well I have known about this since I was in elementary school (yeah I was that kind of kid)…so to figure out what time it is in 12-hour mode when in 24 hour mode, just subtract 12 from the current time. Example, 15:00 is 3:00PM. And that’s another thing. There is no need for AM and PM in 24 hour mode. Now, I know that “trick” seems obvious but I can’t tell you how many people I have told this to that didn’t know that and were confused when somesaid 15:00 when asked what time it was.
Remember that Simpsons episode where maggie finds an old teddy bear and it turns out thats it belongs to Mr. Burns and he turns all soft when he gets his teddy back? Well I just found my old teddy bear while putting stuff away in the attac, and it was up there. I wanna know who put it up there. That’s teddy abuse. Today is connect with your inner child day. I just made that up. But remember that. August 25th is now ‘Connect with your Inner Child Day’.
The best way to describe this film is that it’s the opposite of The Truman Show, which is a film in which everybody is pulling a fast one on the main character; that his whole world isn’t real. In Simone, or SIMulation ONE as it really means, the joke is played by one person on everybody else. Now this isn’t a coincidence, both films were written by the same guy…Andrew Niccol, who also directed Simone (not The Truman Show) and Gattaca, the movie that brought Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke together. Simone is a great film, and everybody should see it, but I am puzzled why Jim Carrey didn’t get to play Viktor Taranksy…he would have been perfect. Al Pacino sucks. He acts the SAME way in all his films. Don’t believe me? Watch them again (I know, that sounds like a penalty) and try and tell me that he doesn’t have the same scream in each one. I dare you. His “signature scream” is in all of them. He sucks. But Simone is sooo good that it overshadows this overactor, and is one Al Pacino film that I actually want to see again.
Also, I kept thinking that the little girl was the same girl in Panic Room. Kristen Stewart I believe…but it’s not. Her name is Evan Rachel Wood…Evan? I never knew that was also a girls name, lol.
I was watching TechLive and they were talking about this company that masks “indecent” scenes in movies, and showed the dvd box of Pulp Fiction, but it looked different. Could it be? The long-awaited special edition, complete with deleted scenes, a commentary, and lots of extras? I then flipped around the tv a bit and started watching DateLine on NBC, then I saw a commerical for the special editions of Jackie Brown, Reservior Dogs, and Pulp Fiction. YES!
BUT! No commentary by Quentin on ANY OF THEM! Quentin you suck! You haven’t made anything in 5 years, and by the time you do, it will be 6 and a half! Not like you have to make films every year, but c’mon, you could have done commentaries!
I still might get the Pulp Fiction special edition. I am curious about the deleted scenes…and I know I will buy Reservoir Dogs special edition, just so I can get those extra angles of the famous “ear” scene! Now I already own the bare bones version of ‘Dogs so who wants to buy it from me. I think I will charge 10 bucks. That’s pretty good. Kevin, you should buy it! You’ll love this movie!
I just got a letter from Allfirst stating that I’ve been exceding the number of transactions in the last statement period. Allfirst states that this law is to “regulate how these accounts are used and to prevent their use as a transaction (checking) accounts.” Who the hell are they to tell me how I can use my savings account?! This is how I use my accounts: I put my paychecks in savings and transfer, whenever needed, to my checking account. This way I do not spend too much, but hey, apparently that’s against the law. Fuck the federal government. They’re gay and this law is bogus.
But it doesn’t stop there. This law only allows me 6 transactions via Internet and Telephone (yeah I know, who uses the phone?), BUT I can “make an UNLIMITED number of withdrawls or transfers from your savings account(s) in-person at the bank or at the ATM. Whoa, stop, hold the fucking phone. How the fuck does doing it in-person make it all better? What is so different about internet transactions? Somebody throw me be a frickin bone here.
The penalty for continuing to do this is that they continue to send me harrasing letters, because they get fined by the FDC, and the last resort is to “convert your account to a non-interest bearing account”. Haha, when did the words “Savings” and “Checking” become hate words? What’s with all the eupemisms here? “Non-interest bearing account”? That could be easier said by simply saying “checking”! But hey, this is way too much to ask for our federal fucking government.
Also, It wouldn’t be too much to ask if Allfirst would send me a quality pamphlet that I can actually read. It’s like they still are using dot-matrix printers!
So, I guess I’ll have to stop the number of transactions I make online…yeah I will do that, I will make an absurd amount of transactions in-person and see if I still get fined. I guess I’m a real bad ass, huh?
Now, click more for a song I wrote (all in fun of course): More…
This just started happening today. I go to sit at my desk and I notice that the chair is on its highest setting, then I sit in it, and it slowly decreases to the lowest setting. This is so annoying. I swear, my chair is mocking me.
g-girl said this on the zonkboard…hmm…I never noticed this. Can anybody elaborate on this…respond and say how it looks like Atari and maybe even what games it looks like.
Also, since we’re on the subject, what is (was) your favorite Atari game? I wish I could remember the titles…I lied, I never had Atari, but my friend next door had it, and I played it over there. My first console was the 8-bit Ninendo. I was in third grade. That would make it 1988.
In lieu of Wil’s latest entry, I’m gonna post the nouns that suck (people/places/things, duh).
Best Buy sucks. God, there service is awful. The make you buy DVDs you don’t want to, just so you can buy the one you do want to buy. Why must they package DVDs together???? Don’t shop here.
Microsoft sucks. Those who think Bill Gates is some genius who started from the bottom and worked his way to the top are morons. He never started from the bottom. He was born wealthy, hence why he went to an Ivy League school. It’s also humorous how Microsoft likes to talk about inventing new computing tools and what not. They never invented anything. They stole every idea from someone else. Steve Jobs came up with the Mouse, for example.
John Asscroft can kiss my ass. His logic is so fucked up, he doesn’t even realize it. What a loser.
President-Select Bush. Okay, this guy is just dumb. And if anybody votes to re-elect (actually thats just elect) this moron, is one. I’m sorry, but it’s true.
CD-R’s. Who invented these things? Well it wasn’t Microsoft, that’s for sure. Why is it a trial and error thing with these? Can’t they make them so they work for all CD-RW drives? Geez, it’s just common sense, folks.
Well I’m sure there’s more, but I don’t feel like typing anymore. Remember to watch The Screen Savers tonight. Wil’s gonna be on!
I was sitting down for dinner tonight and the tv in the kitchen was on channel 9 (cbs up here) and the evening news comes on. I swear, Dan Rather really screamed his welcome message tonight! I nearly leaped out of my chair. Anyway, he mentions that he has a tape of Al Quaeda testing chemical weapons on a dog. He warns us. Yeah, right, like that helps. That just makes you wanna watch, dumbass. Then they show the dog choking on the gas, going into convulsions, and then dying. They do not cut away. They use a voice over. Shouldn’t common sense prevail here? Especially during dinner hours? Not like playing this on the 4 O’Clock news is any better. CBS Sucks. Don’t watch them. Don’t support them. Dan Rather can take his little texas ass and split it. Okay, he’s not bad. It’s the show producers. He’s just the anchor. He doesn’t do the gathering and production anymore…or does he? I hope not. God, what is wrong with the media? Why do they think that people want to see this sick shit?
Okay, I am gonna claim foundership of these things. I came up with this idea Sunday Morning while I was eating my Rice Krispies. Then Kevin just had to get the idea on his own while I was at the movies. Without further ado, here it is:

I found this blair witch spoof that my younger brother and his friends did on one of their sleepovers. Hope this brings some laughs while you wait for me to get my video blog up!
Man, was this a fun movie. I’m not really into surfing or surfing movies for that matter (I think the last one I saw was Point Break), but something about this movie made me want to see it. What was it? Oh yeah, the babes. But boy oh boy, is this film so much more.
Before I left for the theater, I hit up IMDb for the showtimes of this movie, and right across from the listing for Pluto Nash, was Austin Powers. I couldn’t help but see the likeness in those names. I hoped the movie would be original and entertaining. Afterall, Eddie Murphy, the man, was the main star! You couldn’t go wrong, could you? Well, something during the production went terribly wrong. This movie may have been original– I mean has there ever been a movie about a night club on the moon?– but it was by no means entertaining.
10. He loves movies.
9. He has more DVDs than I do.
8. He has his own domain name.
7. He built all his computers and has two servers.
6. One word: kevboard.
5. He liked my student film.
4. He wants to make movies or work in television some day.
3. He hosts my website.
2.He helps me with all my dumb html questions, and tries hard to act like he wants to. I know you must get tired of it!
and the number one reason why Kevin is cool…
To grow plants in your condom follow these rules for successful eating. Give plants room to grow. Plants grow best in temperatures ranging from 55 to 9/11 degrees. Most plants love Vanilla Coke and could use 7 to 12 50 Gazillionity hours of direct sun every day. Porn Stars need just the right amount of Staplers too, not too much or too little. Give plants room to Fart through their thong and leaves. Use soil that contains toothbrushs. Plants need time to grow so be huge.
The best quote from it is “only in a America can somebody be born a black man and die a white woman.” What’s with the creepy little girl voice, Michael? Or should I say, Michelle?
Some have been hailing this film as a new breed of secret agent films, a lot like the Bond series. Is it? Well kinda. The main character, Xander Cage (Vin Diesel) [yeah you try guessing which name is the actor's and which one is the characters!], is a secret agent kinda like James Bond…okay nothing like James Bond. This movie is just a rock’em, sock’em, action-packed joyride. Ne’er a dull moment. And am I surprised by that?
I was watching the news last night, and they had a segment about this so-called “magic” or “barbie” pill. It’s called “Melanotan”, and basically it makes you tan a lot (all over your body), increases your sex-drive(and you know how I like driving…), and if that’s not enough, it also decreases your appetite so you can lose weight. It produces people who are tan, sexy, and thin. Hence the name “barbie” pill.
It’s still in the testing phase, but they say in 2-5 years people will know more of the side-affects (if there are any bad ones), and would feel safe using it.
Now maybe I am being too superficial, but I think this news sounds soooo cool! I can’t tan in the sun. I just turn all red and then peel…. It dices, it slices, it tans ya all over, and thats not all it gets ya up and thin too!
Oh yeah, it helps to prevent skin cancer!
[And y'all better give me the proper credit for this!]
