Car Ride
Do you ever find yourself driving in a car just cranking every classic and favorite song from your past? That's what I did this past weekend. I can't listen to any Mumford and Sons song without having flashbacks of last year, or Jack Johnson's CD In Between Dreams without being taken back to Junior year of high school and wrestling. I love listening to the songs of old and remembering some interesting and fun times. My favorite old pop song that really takes me back is BBmak's "Back Here." If someone were in my car they would have probably heard a tone deaf or off pitch me singing it at as loud as I could. Other times in the car I create playlists for the mood, such as a Scrubs playlist which is a compilation of many songs that were on the show with plenty coming from Joshua Radin who got his break on the show with help from lead actor, Zach Braff. Radin is also good friends with the actor. I remember driving this past weekend thinking that I knew I wanted to write a post about this topic because I know I'm not the only one who does this, or maybe I am. I really am just speculating. Zach Braff brings to me to my next topic. Has anyone seen the High Cost of Living because I really want to, but haven't had the opportunity too. It stars Zach Braff and I hear he gives a wonderful performance. I am a huge fan of Zach Braff though from his days as J.D. on Scrubs as he was Vanilla Bear and Donald Faison was Turk or Chocolate Bear. Scrubs truly is an amazing show that honestly everyone should like for its classic commentary on old and current film and TV history with it's 100th episode done according to the Wizard of Oz. I am sorry, I am ranting about the show mostly because its on in the background as well the Zach Braff connnection. Well I will let this be for the night and say, Good night and good luck. (Thanks again Edward Murrow.)

Thanksgiving!!!
So Turkey Day 2011 finally arrives with movies and shopping in high demand come black Friday. The Muppets and Happy Feet Two battle for the top spot among children's movies, while Twilight: Breaking Dawn leads all films in general, already known to have won this holiday. I see this as a trend that will continue for another week or two since MTV considers the film one that must be seen twice at least by Breaking Dawn fans. (Which I thank my beautiful girlfriend Ashley for providing me with.) So we will see how my prediction turns out. I am very excited to head out in an hour or so to partake in the black Friday festivites hoping to cash in on big deals. Just passing by Best Buy five hours ago there was already a large line. It's amazing to see how people go crazy this time of the year to get great deals. On the athletic side of things, the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys prevailed with wins while the Harbaugh Bowl is still ongoing. The main festivities of the day, eating, was absolutely amazing, which I basically ate myself into a coma. Hopefully everyone else's was the same because nobody should lack in the amazing food department. Well black Friday awaits. Good night, and Good Luck.

A new post FINALLY Arrives!!!
So it has been about a year since I last posted an entry and I have to be honest, I never knew whether or not I would continue doing it. However, I realized I missed it, and it there was an emptiness in a part of my brain that was left for my creativeness and writing for the world to see. I have this new drive to write and motivate others and to elaborate and review films which was the original intent of the blog. Hopefully I catch the eye of someone famous who can jump start my career otherwise this can be used as recreational reading for friends and random readers. A year in review in one sentence: It was fast as hell, but an enjoyable ride with ups and downs. A ride called life. Cliche, but who cares. To be honest, I had an epiphany today, which brought a realization to write, write, and write some more, as well an idea for a film which I am excited about, I will keep you updated about that. Recently films I have seen are Bridesmaids and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1. Both may not be the most critic approved films, but ones that are enjoyed by a variety of people. Not going to lie, Bridesmaids was a bit of a disappointment.There was too much hype behind the film, and the comic style didn't match what was seen in the trailers. That is why the art of the trailer can ruin many films these days. Breaking Dawn on the other hand surprisingly lived up to my personal hype. It is sad to admit, but the first Twilight film is where I knew I wanted to be a director and writer. So the saga has some relevance and interest to myself. New Moon sucked and Eclipse was a tad better, but I saw Breaking Dawn as the rebound. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. Well, I think this is a good start to the new future of the blog, keep looking out for more. From now on, I am going to end on the words of a news broadcast legend, Edward R. Murrow, Good Night, and Good Luck.
