First Blog/Random Stuff

Well, here it is; my first blog. I'm not really sure what my goal is here, or if I even have one, but I think writing a blog will be fun and maybe even help me find my way in life, so what the heck, here I go.
I guess I really have nothing of consecquence to say right now, so I'll just start off with some random stuff. Before I do, let me just say that everything I say here, unless otherwise specified is just my opinion, I understand I have extreme opinions, and believe me I won't be upset to hear people disagree with me. LOL, I'm used to it, believe me.

I just wanted to offer up some food for thought in this blog, just to get the ball rolling, somethings I enjoy and think you might too.

Johnny Cash - American IV: The Man Comes Around This is a great CD Johnny made not long before his death with mostly covers and a few new songs, like the title track. There are covers of songs like: Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus, NIN - Hurt, SoundGarden - Rusty Cage, as well as covers from John Lennon, The Eagles, and a lot of other awesome tracks.

Bernie Mac - Maybe You Never Cry Again This is basically an autobiography that reads like a novel about Bernie Mac's incredible life so far. Besides really getting to understand one of the funniest men on the planet, this book gives you a brutally honest look into the hell that many people live in everyday, in our own country. It will make you think.

John Steinbeck - Of Mice and Men I know, everyone has heard of and read this book, but I just couldn't make a list of my favorite things without including this one.

Gods and Generals Just finished watching this movie, and I was mesmerized by it. It's long, sad, and slow moving in parts, but overall I really enjoyed it and it gives you an honest look at life and battle during the Civil War.

Family Guy Seasons 1, 2, and 3 The first three seasons are out on DVD, and the fourth season is now being shown on FOX, what a great time to be alive. This is a guilty pleasure, you feel bad laughing at something so politically incorrect, but you just can't help it.

Sideways Out on DVD. I'm pretty sure I've never seen a movie with Paul Giamatti that I didn't like. I really believe he is the greatest actor of our time. Hopefully he'll get the widespread respect he deserves soon.

Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith Ok, so it's not A New Hope, or The Empire Strikes Back, but it's a quality movie and I'm looking forward to owning the DVD.
