I have A Plan
So, after a few minutes of thinking and about an hour of thought organization, I have come up with a lose guideline as to how I'm going to continue running this blog and how I will run a future website. I want to cover a lot of ground and that's rather difficult for one person to do, but I think this plan will work. First of all.. I'm setting alarms to remind me to research my posts (alarms on my phone and if worse comes to worse I'll lock down my computer... I WILL do this). And as Im covering a lot of different areas in my posts I thought I'd break it down by day.
Monday - I set this day side for movies. Reviews or recommendations, this day is all about movies. I want to try and see the movies opening every week, since I pretty much do anyways, and review them here, but as sometimes funds are short or I just can't get out, I will have recommendations and reviews of classics and the like. Also, movie news. Since I cover more ground in movies than any other field, this day will probably be the most in-depth.
Tuesday - Music. Not new music either, I never hear about the new albums each week so I never know whats going on, BUT I have my own recommendations and I know how to find new and interesting music, and this day is set aside just for that. Most likely the day I'll forget to post...
Wednesday - This is the day of tech news! I'm always watching webcasts and listening to shows about tech news and Wednesday will be my day to give my opinion on what's going on in the world of nerdgasmic goodness. Video games not withholding.
Thursday - Entertainment day... I know that sounds kind of vague and really off topic. Here's what I mean; Hollywood news.. what the celebs are up too... or those I deem worthy of speaking about. I may be a huge geek but I hang with the mainstream.. you know, faceless bastards, so this is my watercooler. This may actually change to a TV section but I'll see how it goes.
Friday - The weekend is here.. and I know you don't want to read. So, this is the day of videos and pictures. Random things that is.. virals I love, pics that make me laugh. I mean random. This day will have no rhyme nor reason to it.. pure fun. I already love it.
Now, I know this doesnt sound like a new or unique idea, but It's what I want to do... and I really hope some readers hop on eventually. I'm sure one day, when I really figure out what it is I want to do, it will be different.. It will be MY page. ttfn, my friends.

It's A Good Summer For Movies
And here's what I think(hope) the top 10 movies of the summer will be:
10) Hellboy 2: The Golden Army - Guillermo Del Toro gets more freedom! Can't wait to see what he does with it.
9) Pineapple Express - I think it's going to be the big comedy this summer. My faith in Seth Rogen continues to grow, he's done no wrong thus far. Not to mention, James Franco; fucking gorgeous.
8) Wanted - Morgan Freeman. 'Nuff said. Oh, you want more? Angelina Jolie... in another action movie. More? Umm... James McAvoy is pretty cute...
7) Kung Fu Panda - It's a perky family movie and kids are a good way to make money in the box office. I heard it was really cute.. maybe it'll pick up.
6) The Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian - I think the brouhaha from the first movie will bring a little more to this one. Not to mention I need Tilda on this list somewhere.
WOOO! The Big 5! I'm excited...
5) Hancock
Will Smith can do no wrong. He is the only true A-list actor. 'Why?' you ask. Well he is the only actor whose name on a movie can guarantee $100 million on opening weekend. Seriously, ask yourself if there has ever been a bad Will Smith movie. Enough about Will, though, the movie looks genuinely funny and charming, and I can't imagine it doing bad, even with the lackluster PR campaign.
4) Star Wars: The Clone Wars
To be honest, I didn't put this on my list for me... because I'm not excited for it at all, but I think it will succeed because nerds can fund a movie like this. Examples, every other Star Wars movie, Lord of The Rings, Harry Potter. We nerds love our movies. Not only is it a nerd movie, it's also going to be big with the kids which is another big audience. So, there you have it... I feel I should switch it with Hancock but I don't wanna move them so...
3) Iron Man
I'll admit this one is kind of a cheap shot. I have already seen it and I know it's doing really well at the box office, but I still would have put it in my top 5 regardless, I have a soft spot for super hero movies. For those of you who don't know, this movie is fucking epic, go see it last month, dumbfuck.
2) Dark Knight
1) WALL-E
These two were definitely the most difficult to place, but I think this is it. Dark Knight is the movie I am most excited for for MANY reasons. First and foremost is that I think it will be the best shot, acted, and all around best movie of the summer. It will get a lot of Heath Ledger sympathizers, and I agree, he will be greatly missed, but I don't want this movie to be big for that reason alone. I truly believe it will be the greatest super hero movie to date. But here's why I think WALL-E will be top dog: PIXAR. Disney/Pixar have never failed to place #1 in the BO and I doubt highly that WALL-E will break the tradition. It's a kids movie that adults will love too and movies made for the kids that adults wont mind sitting through tend to do really well. Not that I think kids don't want to see Batman it's just the much younger ones that wont understand the depth of Batman will go see WALL-E. Though, If I am wrong, I really won't mind. In fact, I would be overjoyed. Dark Knight ftw!

Yahoo Is Fucked
So Yahoo! has been in the tech news radar for quite a while (yet recently the flame was rekindled by the Google vs. Microsoft purchasey.. thing), and it's not good news and so it has piqued my interest to figure out why. So apparently Yahoo! has lost it's way and from what I read it's because of the newest CEO, Terry Semel, who decided to focus more on money and less on it's awesome aps. I remember when Yahoo! used to be a household name.. remember? It even used to have those really funny commercials! Here is how Yahoo! lost it's way, it makes a good read. The main reason I posted this was to link to this amazing site which generates letters of resignation made as a joke because all of the Yahoo! execs are leaving. For the best in tech news, head to webbalert.com. I apologize for the jibbersih, I'm a little tipsy... Adios, my friends.

I Want A Real Website
I've been browsing around the interwebs today, just looking for open domain names, different site builders (because, as much as I love to code by hand, I'm not doing a whole site), and yadda yadda yadda. I found some really great combinations and it's relatively cheap to do what I'd like.. relatively cheap but still too expensive for me at the moment.
I really do want a real site. I also really want to start really posting real stories with my own twist in stead of just posting random happenings. I want to get my journalism on! Research, draft, edit, post! I'd also like to do a video with my roommate of the weekly newseses, her being entertainment and myself being technology. I think it would be a super fun project and I am working on putting it into motion.
I'm really tired of having these long ass site names and cheap layouts. My only issue would be that I need a graphic designer that can make pictures for the layout.. I'm thinking of a friend i know who does that professionally but It'll be hard convincing her. Well that's another nonsense/jibberish post. See you on the professional side!

It's A Sad Day
Dear reader(s?), It is indeed a sad day. Not two minutes ago I recieved a twitter from @jeffcannata that informed me of George Carlin's death. George was a great comedian, and a brilliant anti-establishment spokesman. He will be missed. Rest in peace, my man, rest in peace. -Dustyn
These Guys Rock
I was introduced to Lordi by Plisken of FFXI fame. I'm pretty sure the first time he played this song for me i nearly screamed with excitement. The chorus is so fucking epic it made me headbang.. ME! The videos are really spiffy, too. Me, being a horror movie buff, am so in love with them. I would die to see them in concert, as there concerts are horror themed as well. You should really check them out and watch the other videos, too. Very cool. -Dustyn
