Ok Now I know he died a few days ago but after seeing all the comments online I figured I'd put in my two cents. Now this may upset many people but I'm sick and tired of hearing about him. Yes he was a great artist and will be missed but come one people give it a rest.
One of the things that really gets me is the fact that everywhere I look for every one person that talks about how sorry they are to see him go there is two people talking about him being a pedophile. Now this may upset certain people but according to the courts and the law he is not.

Movie Remakes and a Thank You
Well I was having a conversation earlier about movie remakes so I figured I would list a few of my favorites along with the originals. Some of these I had no idea were remakes until I looked them up.
The first one is “13 going on 30” with Jennifer Garner which is a remake of a movie called 14 going on 30. This movie was pretty good I especially loved the music including the Thriller dance. Her attitude in the movie is so funny. This is one of those that I had no idea it was a remake although I don’t know if you can count the original or not since the plots are different and the first one a made for TV movie and not released in theaters.
Cape Fear was another good one that I saw once again I never saw the original one but the version I saw with Robert DeNiro was good. DeNiro is a very good actor. He has played so many good roles and usually plays such a macho guy; however his role in Stardust was great however seeing him dress up as a woman in scenes was hilarious.
Ok now Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was another good movie. Some people may not like this version however from what I am told its closer to the book than original was. Personally I liked both versions of it.
Ah yes Cruel Intentions another great one. Who can forget the great kissing scene between Sarah Michele Gellar and Selma Blair? I know I can’t. Plus Sarah was kinda slutty in this movie although the whole incest thing wasn’t so great.
The movie “Four Brothers” was a really good movie with one of my favorite actors Mark Walberg. Well apparently this was kind of a remake of a John Wayne movie called “The Sons of Katie Elder”. Four Brothers was really good and dealt with four adopted trying to avenge the death of the woman that raised them.
I just saw the remake of Friday the 13th and I loved it. I can’t wait for the sequel to come out, they did an awesome job with it and the best part was Jason didn’t get hockey mask until halfway through the movie.
Well not all remakes are good though take Godzilla for example the originals were cheesy but good. However this remake was just awful. I mean come on a radiated lizard egg? Oh and who can forget the lone Japanese guy who can only say Gojira. This was so crappy it was actualy nominated for the Golden Raspberry award.
Gone in 60 seconds was a remake that I had no idea was a remake. From what I’ve read the plots of the two movies are similar. Plus this movie had Nick Cage and Angelina Jolie.
How can I talk about movie remakes and not talk about Halloween. Rob Zombie did such an excellent job remaking this movie. Hell they even begged him to do sequel which comes out on August, 28.
Well since the WARP contest is now over I want to say I enjoyed reading everyone’s blogs and those of you that read mine thank you very much and I will continue to post here and there and will continue to post my Return of the Dragon Gods story every week. I still have a few more stories from my times hanging out with Eric including a video we made of basically me making a fool of myself. Well we’ll see when I blog next but I am defiantly going to take a break. So for now thank you every one.

A Needed Vent
Ok this is pretty much going to be a huge vent about I guess my home life so bare with me. Oh and if you look forward to my “Random Bachelor Card of the Day” segment then I’m sorry to say but since I don’t have my deck with me I won’t be doing it today.
Ok well for those of you who don’t know my relationship with my step father is strained at best. This is mainly due to many things he has done in his past, and his extremely bad temper. Oh and by the way if it means anything to anyone he is a Pisces. Well lately he has been getting on my case about finding a job. It has been two years since I had a job, and has even gone so far as threatening to put my little step sister into my bedroom and putting me into her bedroom if I don’t have one by the end of July, because he has been using her money that she gets from the wrongful death lawsuit of her mother to pay some bills. So what do I do with my time well I study and do homework for college. Don’t get me wrong it’s not that I don’t want to get a job, cause I do, but I don’t like being backed into a corner. Not to mention the fact that it’s not that easy to get one now a days.
Well today he did something that upset me so much that I’m afraid of what I may say or do to him when I see him, he went into my bedroom and took my cloak. This cloak has a lot of sentimental meaning to me because my sister sent the material for it to my good friend from South Korea, and then that friend actually spend time making it and putting it together. So it was not just a cloak you would go to the store and buy, and he took it and told my sister that he burned and threw it away because I’m a pagan. Thankfully he did not burn it and my mom made him return it, but he says that I have to keep it in my car because he does not want it in the house. So basically it’s getting to the point where the energy in my house is very negative, and I feel uncomfortable even being in my own house even when he is not there.
Thinking a little about it now my sister decided to have added to our recent ritual that my mom see my stepfather for who he really was, and for her to come to the conclusion that he needs to go. Well I think it just goes along the lines of be careful what you ask for because you just may get it.

Pet Peeves
Well today I was trying to figure out something to blog about then I remembered something I’ve been putting off, pet peeves. This kinda resurfaced last night at Java and Jam or rather after Java and Jam while some of us were standing around talking.
Ok so after Java and Jam last night a small group of us were standing around talking and without asking if it would bother anyone lit up a cigar. Personally I don’t mind smoke from cigarettes or some other types of things that get smoked, but cigar smoke is quite a bit strong. Now proper manners would normally dictate that you ask people if it would bother them before lighting it up, and if they say it will then either don’t light it up or simply go around the corner or something to light it up. I mean come on, most people that smoke cigarettes ask if it will bother other people, so why is it that people who smoke cigars can’t do the same, especially when you have a group of people that are coughing and choking behind you. It is just common courtesy.
Another pet peeve of mine that I seem to come across a lot at home is when I go to use the restroom and the person who used it before me left an empty roll of toilet paper on the roller. This kind of goes hand in hand with another one of my peeves the last person who put the fresh roll of paper on the roller did not replenish the stock under the sink. Ok how can you know there is no more paper left and just leave it for the next person? It makes me wonder how they would feel if it happened to them. It is just one of those things that really upsets me to no end.
One of my other pet peeves is when someone drinks a glass of milk or juice or something similar and only leaves practically a sip in the jug. How can you leave just a sip in the jug? If there’s that much left after pouring your glass then just finish it off. How hard is it to take a sip or two from your glass and just pour the rest in your glass from the jug?
Another thing that gets me is when you have people that make plans for you and then complain when you don’t get there when they said. I’m sorry but I’m thirty years old I can make my own plans. Just because you want to meet someone at a certain time doesn’t mean that I can get there at that time. The only thing this does is make me rush to get there at the time that you said I’d be at a certain place without asking me if that time was good for me.
Random Bachelor Card of the Day: “Stand on a stage or the bar and dance Coyote Ugly style, or entice a group of girls to do so. (Ask management first; you’ll probably get tossed out if you don’t)”
I have a special rule to add to this one. You cannot do this card while at Coyote Ugly because that would be cheating.
