Don't get your panties in a knot everybody, I just felt like posting some pictures. Maybe I'll actually write something one of these days. Until then, enjoy these. Peace.

Any fans of Heroes here?

TV.com had an interesting article today...

http://www.tv.com/story/12080.html

The gabbing gossipers are opening their maws again, claiming one major Heroes star wants to leave the show.

In front of the camera and on the red carpet television actors are all smiles, hugs, and "what up, girl!" But of course these thespians we put on a pedestal also happen to be human beings (well, most of them anyway), which means behind the scenes, hair is flying, tantrums are thrown, and feelings are crushed.

Ensemble casts seem to spawn this sort of behavior the most, as actors jockey for screen time and are expected to remain on par with their "peers." According to E! Online, the ensemble cast currently feeling the heat is NBC's Heroes, and word is one of its major stars wants OUT.

The article--which is served as a "blind item"--doesn't name the actor or actress that is asking to leave the show, but does mention some juicy details for the person's wanting to leave. The star, apparently upset with not getting enough screen time, is asking to be let go of his/her contract at the end of the season. And to allow for that possibility, a death scene has been written for the actor's character at the conclusion of the season.

Other details to get your wheels spinning: the actor has been on the program from season one, "has more name recognition than others in the cast" (probably the most important clue), and could easily be revived from an end-of-season death if he/she stays on Heroes (just like every other character in the show, am I right, am I right?).

Is it Hayden? Ali? Masi? They're all season one veterans, all have some bigger name recognition, and can easily come back to life through regeneration, finding a new twin, or time-travel.

http://www.tv.com/story/12080.html

My guess is its Hiro Nakamura. He has the most recognizable name on the show since, well, the show IS his name.

A small update at the end of the day

2009-01-07T00:51:00.005-05:00

Mr. T and the Flavorwave. I watched this infomercial for a good 45 mins because it was completely awesome. Its not like this is called the Mr. T Flavorwave, so essentially he has nothing to do with it. I think the producers just realized how great it would be to have Mr. T advertise an inverter oven.

I thought this one was pretty funny. I've never seen Twilight, but I got a laugh out of the comic!

I Propose a Petition

2008-12-18T22:00:00.002-05:00

First of all, I'd like to apologize for the enormous amount of memory this post is going to use on your computer, but this is important.
I've always thought that the 80's was THE best era. Think about it for a minute. It had the best movies.

Breakfast Club

A Christmas Story

Ghostbusters

Superman

Terminator

Sixteen Candles

The 80's also had the best music.

Toto - Africa

Phil Collins - In The Air Tonight

Corey Hart - Sunglasses

Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear The Reaper

A-ha - Take On me

Pink Floyd - Another Brick In The Wall

If that's not enough, how about 80's tv shows?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

The Wonder Years

Thundercats

Full House

The Raccoons

That all being said, what do we have today? We have NOTHING of that caliber. Lets take a look at the genius that is our present era.

Soulja Boy

Hey Mr. Boy, how about you crank off? Nobody likes you.

Creed

If you're six feet from the edge, please, for everyone's sake, keep walking off that cliff buddy.

50 Cent

I sat here for 5 minutes trying to think about something witty to say, but its like making fun of a retarded kid. Its just cruel.

Beverly Hills Chihuaua

Seriously? Is this how low humanity has sunk? We'll pay millions of dollars to fund a movie about watching Taco Bell's mascot on the big screen for an hour and half? Ugh.

TMNT 2008

Why, just why?

I would like to propose a petition to bring back the 80's. I'm pretty sure I've made my point. If you'd like to try and present some ideas as to how the 00's are better than the 80's, just try. I dare you to come up with one reason.

This is an award winning series based around Donnie Hoyle who is having a few issues in his life, but has no issues using photoshop to describe said issues. Definitely worth a watch.

A fun note, nobody really knows who plays Donnie. Some think its Dane Cook, and some think that its David Cross. Any ideas?

Games for Soldiers

2008-11-22T17:46:00.000-05:00

As some of you may have noticed, I put a link on the right side of the page to a cause called "Games for Soldiers". I whole-heartily agree with this, and I hope many of you will check it out. Here is their mandate taken from the website.

Games For Soldiers is a non-profit organization dedicated to sending entertainment items to deployed US troops the world over. Primarily we send new and used videogames and videgame consoles, but also occasionally donate smaller games such as cards (many soldiers LOVE Spades, I assure you) and travel games that are easy to ship and easy to take around.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

1. Why do you do this?

* Well, the creator of the endeavor, Jesse Williams, is an Army Specialist with B Co., 1-158 Infantry Battalion out of Arizona. During his 12-month deployment to Khost, Afghanistan he found himself making industry contacts and bringing in donations of games, movies and even consoles and gaming computers for his unit. He found that the generosity of the entertainment sector businesses and individuals was amazing and that gifts of entertainment were very, very well received by his fellow troops. In light of this, he decided upon returning home to try to continue this momentum for other troops deployed overseas.

2. Can I receive a tax deduction receipt from Games For Soldiers?

* We are not currently a registered 501(c)(3) organization, so we cannot offer tax deductions for your contributions. While we would love to do this, we are still working on our incorporation which must be done first. If you are an accountant, lawyer or have experience in the field of incorporation and/or 501(c)(3) registration and would like to do some good pro bono work, please drop me a line at jesse@gamesforsoldiers.org.

3. Do you support only Army soldiers or other deployed US Forces as well?

* We support all of our deployed forces. Donations can go to any service member. We primarily supply donations to troops in Afghanistan, as they seem to get left out compared to troops in Iraq. We also primarily support Army soldiers simply because there are more of them. We do not, however, discriminate against Marines, Sailors or Airmen.

4. Where do I send donations?

* Currently, our shipping address is:

Games For Soldiers

ATTN: Jesse Williams

724 Gardenia Avenue

Royal Oak, MI 48067-3649

If you have questions about what to donate or who we are, please visit the website. Thank you!

The Sun is now in the quietest phase of its 11-year activity cycle, the solar minimum - in fact, it has been unusually quiet this year - with over 200 days so far with no observed sunspots. The solar wind has also dropped to its lowest levels in 50 years. Scientists are unsure of the significance of this unusual calm, but are continually monitoring our closest star with an array of telescopes and satellites. Seen below are some recent images of the Sun in more active times. (21 photos total)
