NBA All Star Game Is A Joke

So awhile back it was announced that the NBA All Star Game was coming to Phoenix, AZ. AWESOME! I live in Phoenix! I can go! I've always watched the Slam Dunk Contest, and 3 Point Shoot Out, and the All Star Game! It'd be awesome to go see this!

Oh man now the voting starts! Vote for your favorite players and see if they make the All Star Team! Damn I better vote, so I can hopefully see my favorite players when the All Star Game comes to Phoenix!

Oh man tickets for events are going on sale in 2 days!! Sweet I am in on the pre sale, alright here we go...

Jam Session? Nah...

Celebrity All Star Game? Meh....

Rookie Challenge? Who gives a shit?

Wait...

What the fuck??

Tickets to the NBA All Star Game and Saturday Nights Events of the All Star Skills Challenge, 3 Point Shoot Out, and Slam Dunk Contest are not going to be available to the public.

Sooo all this hype was for an event I can't even go to.

I was voting for players, I can't even go see.

What in the blue fuck is the point?

God damn the NBA is retarded sometimes.

The Price IS Right!

This is fucking nuts. This dude guesses the final showcase price and nails it for the exact random ass amount. Either that dude saw the card or he's goddamn psychic. You know that black chick and her family are gonna fuck him up after the show.



What You Should be Watching 2.

Earlier today Random Villain posted the first in this series of new blogs, and invited the rest of our crack writing staff to join in. So here I am, with my first entry.

FRINGE.

As a fan of pretty much everything J.J. Abrams touches (which always turns to gold) I obviously tuned in to Fringe from the git-go. Set in and around Boston, Fringe follows a small team of people, more or less completing paranormal investigations, comprised of FBI Agent Olivia Dunham (Anna Torv), Dr. Walter Bishop, Peter Bishop (Joshua Jackson), and a few of Agent Dunham's FBI colleagues. The central plot of Fringe is that the FBI has had no choice but to team team up with an institutionalized scientist, Walter Bishop, who in his hey-day was known for performing experiments on the fringe of real science, and his son, Peter Bishop, to investigate weird crimes that are seemingly part of a larger pattern (which they actually refer to as The Pattern), and may be connected with a global company called Massive Dynamic.

Fringe, which is classified as a serialized drama, is not unlike other Abrams projects LOST and Alias, in which a centralized plot plays background to various individual cases and stories. The team is trying to find out why The Pattern is happening, and who or what is behind it. Episodes usually involve a case that is a result of The Pattern, so we see the team trying to solve the case, while also figuring out how it all ties together. The action is exciting, the pace is most often fast, there's actually a sense of realism, mixed in with fantasy, and enough of a comedic presence to keep it from being dull, and not to mention the story is captivating. There is no better way to say it other than: This show is the complete package.

If you're a fan of J.J. Abrams, or really just a fan of good science fiction, this is definitely a show you want to check out. It's currently on it's winter hiatus, and won't return until Mid January, so you have plenty of time to get caught up. You can watch all the episodes right now at www.hulu.com/fringe, or ya know... download em.

The 1000th Blog.....Coming Soon.

UPDATE: Brought to my attention is the fact that this is actually the 965th PUBLISHED blog. I was looking at the count in the blogger dashboard which is semi retarded and it lists this as the 1000th blog. What it doesn't say is that blogs that were started but never finished and were just saved as drafts and not published also count with the normal published blogs. Gotta love blogger. Anyways fuck it, 1000th blog will be here sooner or later, read on for the original posting.


Believe it or not, this, right here, what you are reading, is the 1000th blog on this site. We started this page about 2 years ago now. Don't really got much to say about this event. Just a thanks to whoever you people are out there that keep reading this site. I invite my fellow writers to edit this blog and write their own thoughts about blogs 1 - 999 just below the picture of all of us in our former lives. So have at it, and of course, don't just get in here and write your thoughts without saying who exactly is writing it.

What You Should Be Watching 1

New little continuous article I'm gonna try it. And it's just not for me, Devon and the countless other writers here on this blog can also jump in on the fun, just keep the count up, this is number 1.

What You Should Be Watching?

Confessions Of A Superhero.

What is it? A documentary. Last year I took the better half and our nephews to the land of Hollywood. And as we strolled along we hit the world famous Graumans Chinese Theater, and as always, the people dressed as various characters were hanging around, taking pictures with people. And it got me to thinking what was with these people? Did they work for the theater? Do they do this for fun? What's the deal?

Last week I found this documentary in my suggestions list on Netflix, and I watched it and all my answers were found. Along with answers, I was entertained and pretty caught up in these peoples lives.

The documentary follow 4 people, who spend their days dressed up in front of the theater. It's their day jobs. They are actors. When not going to auditions and trying to make it as an actor, they make their money on tips in front of the theater. There is Superman, who not only dresses as the character, but WORSHIPS Superman. There is Batman, who has quite the anger management issue, especially when he isn't tipped, Wonder Woman, who is actually pretty interesting, and hot, and of course, The Hulk, who out of them all, seems to be doing much better than how he started off, and out of them all, is actually getting some acting jobs here and there.

That is the jist of it all, it follows their lives, it tells about where they grew up, and how they got to where they are today, the only flaw I found was it doesn't do the traditional, where are they know, right before the end credits. I guess I can hold out for Confessions Of A Former Superhero?

Anyways, if you like documentaries about interesting people, check this out.
