Couldn't Think Up A Title So Balls

Hey folks, I'm a little bit late posting this week but here I am none the less. I'd like to start off by giving a HUGE thank you to everyone who has been supporting The Ubiquitous Gentlemen, we've had a spectacular week and we hope things just keep getting better from here,so THANK YOU! We are hoping to have a new Gentleman join our ranks soon so that will be exciting and it will get us out there even more, keep recommending us to friends and family and we will keep loving you long time.

It's been a really good week for me on a personal level too, I finally got my own computer, and it was free, and it's not half bad! Good enough that I've been running League of Legends, World of Warcraft, and, most importantly, Diablo 3, so I've been having a pretty great week for gaming. It's making it a lot easier to keep my blogs up to date and that is something that is super important to me.

Also this week I found out that I got excepted to go to University during the Fall Semester for some upgrading and I also applied to go into the Bachelor of Communications program, so that will be fun, expensive, but fun.

For all you YouTube frequenter's out there, there are two channels that you need to be watching along with what ever great programming you watch. You need to be watching Nerdist Channel and Geek and Sundry. They are two great channels run by some amazing individuals, Nerdist is run by a man named Chris Hardwick, and Geek and Sundry is run by Felicia Day and Mr Wil Wheaton himself. So go check out those channels, they have videos almost every day of the week, so it's great.

Here's this last week's TUB posts:

Stuck Up Cinema - Hyping Beyond the Black Rainbow     The Critic - The Intouchables     Zero Lives Left - Soulcalibur V     Between the Panels - Spider-Men Issue 1 and Batman Issue 10     Stuck Up Cinema - Jesus Christ's Controversial Temtation     A Gentlemen's Duel - Prometheus

I really don't have anything else interesting to say so it's music time!

A Quicky

Hey everyone, I hope your week has been more interesting than mine. Not too much has been going on for me over here, I'm still getting used to the new apartment and learning the new neighborhood. Of course I've been blogging over on The Ubiquitous Gentlemen as usual, it's been a pretty good week for us over there, Justin and I are having a lot of fun over there and I hope you continue to check it out. I saw an absolutely amazing movie this last week called The Intouchables, check out that link to the wiki page and I'll throw up a trailer for it HERE; my review of it will be up on Tuesday. Yes, it is in fact a French film, but it is easily one of the greatest films I've seen in a very long time.
This last week has been great for the gamers of the world, E3 just wrapped up on Friday. For those of you who don't know what E3 is, it's The Electronic Entertainment Expo, it's a massive gaming expo that takes place in California once a year. New systems are introduced and new games are shown and demoed. A lot of great stuff has been shown and talked about from what I hear, sadly I'm very behind on it, as I'm typing this I'm watching Day 1 of E3 on my PVR, so I'll probably talk more about it next week.

I had a great time with two of my very good friends this week, it was my buddy Scott's 19th this week so we went over to a local pub and had a very good time. And then yesterday I went over to another friends place and we basically just talked all night. Good times were had all around.

As I suggested in the title of this blog, its a short one and that's basically all I've got for you all this week. Here are the links to this week's TUG posts:
Stuck Up Cinema - The Avengers     The Critic - Men in Black 3     Zero Lives Left - Asura's Wrath     Between the Panels - Before Watchmen: Minute Men Issue 1 and Harbinger Issue 1     Readers Indigestion - Acacia Part 2: The Halfway Point

There's no music I want to post this week, but I'm going to leave you with two very cool video's on the Brony Phenomenon, something I am proudly a part of. The first one is a video that was thrown up on Kick Starter for a Brony Documentary and the second is a really cool bit from The Idea Channel talking about Bronies and the definition of Masculinity.

Documentary     Are Bronies Changing the Definition of Masculinity?

So check both of those out and that's all I've got this week. Talk to yall later.

It's Been Far Too Long

Wow it's been a while since I posted, I've been super busy these last couple of weeks with the whole move and getting unpacked and settled and all that other crap that's been going on in my life. But finally I have a few minutes to write a blog for you all to read. Before I get too it I'd like to thank everyone who has been supporting The Ubiquitous Gentlemen in our first month of it going on. We've had some pretty great success considering we've only been at it for a month and Justin and I are super proud of what we are accomplishing so far. On that note I'm gonna just post the last three weeks worth of posts right up front just to get it over with. Here we go!

Readers Indigestion: The Name of the Wind P.1     Stuck Up Cinema: Cosmopolis and 80s Cronenberg     The Critic: Serenity     Zero Lives Left: Alpha Protocol     Between the Panels: Star Wars Dawn of the Jedi Issue 1 and Footprints     Readers Indigestion: Tough Sh*t P.1     Stuck Up Cinema: Three Movies You Need To See P.1     The Critic: Dark Shadows     Zero Lives Left: Catherine     Between the Panels: Batman Inc Issue 1 and The Guild: Fawkes Issue 1     Stuck Up Cinema: What`s the Best Video Game Movie?     Channel Surfers: Continuum "A Stitch in Time"     Zero Lives Left: Bioshock 2 and Minerva's Den DLC     Between the Panels: Batman Annual and Grim Leaper Issue 1     Readers Indigestion: The Name of the Wind P.2

I promise I will NEVER get that behind again, seriously, that is ridiculous!

So since I last posted my mother and I have successfully found an apartment and have moved in, we've been here for about two weeks at this point, its really different from living in a three story townhouse but we've made it work really well. We are still living out of some boxes but for the most part we are unpacked, I got the book self nice and organized and now I just need to finish setting up my room, should be done all of that in the next week or so. I've applied to go to school to get some upgrading done this Fall semester and then next Fall semester I hope to be going into Bachelor of Communications. So if I get into the upgrading program I'll look for a job after the first month or so of that so that I can get into the grove of school and than I'll go from there, otherwise I'll be looking for a job a lot sooner.

I've been watching a lot of shows from when I was growing up recently, it's been a lot of fun and a lot of reminiscing has been going on. I started with watching Alf, Fresh Prince, and Full House on TV but then I was at Wal-Mart a few months ago and found the full series of Saved By The Bell and I bought it without a second thought. Then the last few weeks I've been borrowing Boy Meets World off my brother. There were some seriously great shows on while I was growing up but there really aren't anything like them on TV anymore, and that make s me sad. Kids need great shows like that to be able to watch, all of those shows taught values that seem not to be important anymore but watching those shows they just come so naturally that it doesn't make sense that a lot of kids don't get to see that any more.

I think that's really all for me to talk about right now, so I guess that means it's time for some music isn't it? Oh, before that here's an article about something interesting that's going on in California. It's talking about a large group of people and corporations that are trying to convince Americans that it's okay if they don't know what goes into their food, and what food has been genetically modified. It's rather concerning to see that so many people are for this secrecy, and I know that it may not seem all that important but if it goes through in one state it can go through in others and possibly make its way up to Canada. We have a right to know what goes in our food so that we can make proper nutritional choices. Check out the article HERE. It's a really interesting read.

World of Blogcraft

It's been pretty busy week filled with comics just to make things better in the long run. I've been ill for the last week or so and I'm just getting over that right now so that's been an obstacle all week but for the most part it hasn't affected anything too much. Things have been going well, all be it busy, over on The Ubiquitous Gentlemen and Justin and I are making some great progress, still need to work on getting our readers up but that will come with time. We've been posting pretty steadily getting posts up with six in our first week so I'm super proud of all the work we've been putting into it.

We've got all kinds of things being talked about on there as I mentioned in the last post, new and old movies, comics, books and video games. It's a lot of fun so far and I'm excited to continue going with it.Check us out of Facebook and like our page to get all of the most recent updates. We're currently looking into getting a podcast going over there too but first we need to figure out how to get that working and what kind of things we would do on there. If you have any suggestions sound off below in the comments or even on The Gentlemen's Facebook page.

In my personal life things are starting to look up, my mother and I have been looking around pretty successfully for a new place to move into for a while. Yesterday we found one that has a lot of potential near one of the Universities where we live, which is good for me. As soon as we find the place we are actually going to move into I'll start on a hunt for a new job, this whole unemployed thing isn't all that enjoyable. All in all it's looking good though, I'm excited to move onto this next chapter of my life.

Well that's about all I've got, I'm probably only going to be posting here once or twice a week from now on, my main focus is going to be on The Ubiquitous Gentlemen. At the end of each post, along with music there is now going to be a place I throw up links for all the Reviews that were posted in the last week. So here's the first of many U.G. links throw ups.

Readers Indigestion - Acacia Review Part 1: The Rundown

A Gentlemen's Duel - The Cabin in the Woods

Stuck Up Cinema - Kuroneko

The Critic - The Avengers

Zero Lives Left - Rayman Origins

Between the Panels - Green Lantern Issue 9 and Earth 2 Issue 1

So go over there and check out The Ubiquitous Gentlemen, I hope you like it. We're just getting started and I'm thrilled to see where we can go with it.

Thanks for reading and see you all next week. As always follow me on Twitter @Nait93

So now it's time for some music isn't it?

The Gentlemen

Things have been going very well since I last talked about what was happening in my life, I've settled as much as I can not having a permanent place to live and things are starting to find their way of organizing themselves. The last 3 days have held quite a bit of excitement for me on many different levels and they are all things I’m going to be talking about on today’s post.

On Thursday my friend Justin and I finally got The Ubiquitous Gentlemen, our review blog, up and running. On there you are going to find everything from Movie reviews (old and new) to video game rants, from comic and book reviews to run downs and reviews of weekly wrestling shows (Raw, Smack Down, and any Pay-Per View events that happen). It’s a really exciting time for Justin and I and I hope that you can share it with us and support us, go click on the hyperlink up where it says “The Ubiquitous Gentlemen” at the top of this paragraph to check it out. As I write this there is only one post and that is part 1 of a book review for the novel Acacia by David Anthony Durham, so read that and like and subscribe, comment and all that jazz HERE. Tomorrow, so Monday the 7th, our first movie review will be thrown up there for Cabin in the Woods, it’s done in our Gentlemen’s Dual format. What that means is that the two of us discuss the movie, what we like what we don’t, and then we both are allowed to give the film up to 5 points each and at the end those points are added to get a score out of 10.  Also tonight I’m hoping to get up a review of Marvel’s The Avengers which I got the chance to see last night, if you plan on seeing it stay until after ALL the credits, there are two post credit scenes.

Friday I got the chance to go out and LARP with my friend Wes and his group in a game called Changeling. For those of you who don’t know LARP stands for Live Action Role-Play, for a great definition of LARPing I turn to Wikipedia: “a form of role-playing game where the participants physically act out their characters' actions. The players pursue goals within a fictional setting represented by the real world, while interacting with each other in character. The outcome of player actions may be mediated by game rules, or determined by consensus among players. Event arrangers called gamesmasters decide the setting and rules to be used and facilitate play.” It is a lot of fun and I’m very excited to continue on with it. After that I returned to The Park to stay at my brother’s place for the weekend.


Yesterday I went to my old home and packed up everything I could, I’ll be going back in a week or so to go clean up and get ready for the new people that move in to get the house. It’s weird leaving a community I’ve lived in literally my whole life. I guess things need to move on though and this is where all of this change starts, it will be fun to see where things are going to go from here. After that I went to Avengers with my older brother. The review of Avengers will be HERE when it’s posted, as I said hopefully tonight.

EDIT: My Avengers review will be posted on Tuesday the 8th at 12pm.

That’s all I’ve got for this post though, so until next time follow me on Twitter @Nait93

Calgary Comic And Entertainment Expo

Last weekend, April 27th-29th, was the annual Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo, this was the third year I've had the opportunity to attend this Con and this was the best one yet. This year the guest list was huge including Adam Baldwin, Amanda Tapping, Stan Lee, Tara Strong, the entire cast of a little TV show you may have heard of called Star Trek The Next Generation, and many more. Here's my rundown of the weekend.


I was lucky enough to be able to go down and hang out with an improv group called The 404s (@the404s) which meant I was able to get around the convention a lot easier then most people. I got there and right away it was time for the 404s first show of the convention, it was a short form show with Mr. Ian Boothby (one of the writers from Futurama), it went off really well and was a big hit for it being the first thing happening at this years convention.


After that not too much happened during day 1, I walked around the main Vendors hall and got to see what was there and decide what I was going to spend my money on. I was able to get Issue 1 of DC's The New 52 Swamp Thing signed by one of comics new faces in the art world Yannick Paquette. That was really it for day one at the con.


Saturday was an insane day over at the Stampede grounds to say the least. We headed out to the con around 9 o'clock that morning and traffic was murder. We finally arrived and got to the Green Room and figured out how that day was going to go down, the 404s had a show at 6 that night and other then that it was a go do whatever day. Some stayed in the Green Room where others, like me, decided it was time to experience the con. I wander the floor for a while and found out when the people whose autographs I wanted would be available to get them, Wil Wheaton and Adam Baldiwn. Around this time we found out that the Con was completely full and Fire Marshals were everywhere, anyone that left the con at the point was not allowed to be admitted back in unless it emptied drastically. After that was figured out I went along with a couple of my friends to the Wrestling Panel that featured Jake "The Snake" Roberts, The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase, and Honky Tonk Man, they sat there and answered fans questions about their time wrestling and what they thought of the current state of wrestling. After that we went off to Adam Baldwin's Panel were he answered questions of all kinds, most about Firefly, which was to be expected. At 3pm a bunch of the 404s and myself met up to go see an improv show called Harold of Galactus put on by Mark Meer, also known as the voice of Commander Shepard, (@Mark_Meer) and Chris Craddock. The premise of this show is the two improvisers will create a superhero and go through their entire career in the space of about an hour based off of an audience member's suggestion. It was really funny and very well done, if you ever get the chance to see this show do so, or even if you just get to see one or both of them do some improv get there, you won't be disappointed. That evening was the second 404s show, Stump the Nerds where a pannel was set up of various 404s members and they came up with witty, clever, and sometimes tasteless answers to questions such as what would you do if you had a TARDIS and what would its Chameleon Circuit desguise it as.The final day was much more calm, I arrived at 9 and stood in line to get Wil Wheaton's audograph, and then waited to get Adam Baldwin's audograph. Right after that the 404s had their last show of the convention: Geeks vs Nerds. Two teams faced off to try and win the most points for their improvised scenes and thus win the game. They were joined on stage once more by Ian Boothby also joining them was Mark Meer and Chris Craddock. It was my favourite show of the weekend, they scenes where great and it just played out very well. The rest of that day was spent going around, buying some shirts and then my last activity of the day come about, that being the Brony pannel. Tara Strong graced all of us Bronies with her presence and answered our most burning questions the best she could, spoiler free saddly. After the pannel was over I collected my things, said my goodbyes and headed on the road back home, not before we made a stop at Peter's however.

It was a great weekend all in all and I'm really looking forward to next year to see how they can possibly top this one.

Update on my new review blog project: Justin and I are, as I write this, creating the blog over on wordpress, it will be active before this weekend starts and my first post will be a reivew of The Avengers. A link to the new blog will be right HERE when we have it up and running.

That's all for this entry so until next time follow me on Twitter @Nait93

The Raven Movie Review

I am a huge Edgar Allan Poe fan to put it mildly. I have read his collected works multiple times since my Dad introduced me to him when I was ten years old. Cask of Amontillado and Tell-Tale Heart are two of my favourite of his stories, he was an amazing author with a great talent. If you haven't read any of his stories, do so, it will be an adventure you will not soon forget.


Today I went to go see the film The Raven starring John Cusak, Luke Evans, Alice Eve, and Brendan Gleeson. Cusak plays Edgar Allan Poe who gets brought into an investigation of a serial killer who's killings all have themes from Poe's stories and poems. The killer takes his fiancee, Emily, during a party and tells Poe that he will leave him clues as to her location at each murder he commits and after each crime Poe must write an article for the local paper that is part fictional and part truth about the situation between him, Poe, and his fiancee; if the articles are not published then Emily will be killed.

They way they opened up the movie was a really interesting, they started it saying that hours before Poe died he was found on a park bench not in a good state. The then show Poe sitting at that bench they then pan up to the sky and show the moon in very little light then transitions into the moon in complete night and jump back to where the murders began. There were two major things I enjoyed about this movie, first being that it was interesting seeing a theory about what happened during Poe's last days, it was really fun to see how they thought it happened. Second thing was it was really fun watching the murders, as morbid as that sounds, and figuring out which of Poe's stories the murderer was bringing into these killings. Nothing was too blatant about telling which story it was unless it was said so by Poe himself.

I know that this movie was set during the 1840's but some of the costumes looked really corny, the firemen's outfits were very over the top, but the clothing during the Costume Ball was really well done, other then the firemen and a few other costumes they were all done really well. There is not too much that I did not enjoy about this movie, those few costumes were really the only thing that bothered me.

My love for Edgar Allan Poe may be clouding over my better judgment, I haven't really talked to anyone else about the movie so I don't know other people's reactions but mine is a pretty solid score of:

8/10

So what should you take from this review? Check out the movie and Poe's works if you have the chance.

Time for Change

Hey there everyone, the past day has been crazy eventful for me, not in a good way really. Last night a huge argument erupted in my house hold and as a result my mom and I are no longer living where we once were. Currently we are trying to figure out where this is going to take us and what we should do to move on with our lives, no matter what happens though it will be for the better. Time for change I guess; a new chapter of my life is beginning and I need to see where it's going to take me. 

On a much lighter note a few months ago I mentioned that my friend Justin (@KingCauti) and I were going to start up a review blog. Well that didn't end all that well, clearly, and we kinda moved away from that and nothing really came up about it again. Here we are months later and he and I are gearing up to ACTUALLY start a reviewing blog. We'll be covering everything we love from comics to movies, books to music, wrestling pay-per views to plays, anything we want to talk about will be talked about, if we manage to get interviews from people we respect and admire you can bet your bottom dollar that they will be up there. It's going to be launching mid May, or as soon as we come up with a witty name for it, knowing us it probably will only be witty to the two of us. My personal blog will be staying over here for the time being however so there will be links to the new blog all the time. I'm really excited to get this going, I hope you all support me in this, and with any luck it will go well.

That's it for today, a nice quick blog. So follow me on Twitter @Nait93

And now for some music!

Bronies and Voting

So it's been a pretty weird weekend, but one that was really good too. Friday night I went off to the Elephant and Castle with my Bronies to get to know each other a bit better we had a really good night filled with lots of laughs and other things. Saturday I went to the JP AME anime convention, it was their first year and I think it went very well! I got another chance to do a show with the 404s, it went really well and I'm really enjoying getting all of this experience doing improv, it's a lot of fun, if you get the chance to ever do improv, get on it!

After the convention was over I headed off to a very good friend of mines place and we got ready for the season finale of My Little Pony, yes I like My Little Pony, it is a fantastic show, I'll address that in a later blog. The season finale was actually really good, well plotted out and everything you expect from an hour long episode of MLP.



Tomorrow is election day in Alberta, go out and vote, make an informed choice, know who you're voting for and make the choice you believe is right for you. Voting is part of your duty as a citizen of a democratic country. So find your local polling station and go out, vote, and then go to timmies after, it's super easy and doesn't take time out of your day, 5 minutes, tops.

Well that's really all I've got for tonight, just thought I'd throw up a short blog before the weekend was over.

[Insert Creative Title Here]


I've got a few things to talk about, so I figured a Blog post would be a good place to talk about them. First off I'm tired and have no creativity left in me so that's the best title for this post you're getting, my last few titles were pretty good so I'm entitled to have a crappy one I think.

So first things first, if you haven't done so already check out my review of the film Lockout with Guy Pearce HERE. I'm going to be doing a lot more review posts but not just movies. I've been thinking of getting into the reviewing business and in order to do that I need practice and I need to start getting myself out there more. I'm going to be reviewing movies, books, plays I see, and, once I've caught up, comics. It's something that I'm really excited to be getting into and I hope all of you that read my blog, though they are few and far between, will support me in this and hopefully I'll get some more readers. Once it gets into full swing I'll be moving my reviews to a new blog but that won't be for a while yet; when that happens this blog will just be for my daily doings.

A while ago my friend Scott got it in his head that he would like to try his hand at stand up, he'd get a group of people around him and tell really funny life stories and he'd get a bunch of random jokes he'd throw in there. Finally a couple of days ago he uploaded his first stand up video, the quality is pretty poor as it was filmed on our friends iPad. So forgive the wonky sound and its not a paying crowed so there’s some banter going on, which personally drove me nuts but all in all it was enjoyable. HERE is a link to the video, please take the time to watch it and hit the like button, if he gets 5 likes he'll upload my personal favourite story of his, how he got a fork stuck in his leg.
He's pretty new to the Twitterverse and doesn't tweet a lot but follow him on Twitter @scottbjerky

Finally something fun that has happened in my life over the last few weeks. Last year I became friends with a member of a great improv group called The 404s and he said that he wanted to start a new cast up where we both live as the main cast for Alberta was 3 hours south of us. Fast forward about 6 months and Wes has started doing monthly workshops, and then at last month’s workshop he invited us to do a show at a local anime convention last Saturday. We did the show and it went really well considering how terrified I was to do it and I'm doing my second show this Saturday at another anime convention. I'm super excited to be doing this, improv has been something I've loved since I first saw the 404s years ago and now I'm working on becoming a part of one of my favourite improv groups.

Well that's all I've got for tonight, two posts in one day, that's pretty good for me.

So until next time, follow me on Twitter @Nait93

And now...MUSIC:

Lockout Movie Review

Alrighty ladies and germs yesterday I got the chance to check out the movie Lockout staring Guy Pearce, Maggie Grace, and Peter Stormare. I haven't done a ton of reviews lately, or a lot of blogging for that matter, and I really want to get into the reviewing game so I'm gonna keep up to date with the movies I've been seeing so here we go.

The year is 2079 and a massive space prison has been built that holds 500 of the world’s most dangerous criminals all of whom are kept there in a cryogenic sleep. The president's daughter, Emilie, played by Maggie Grace, goes up to the prison to see how the inmates are being treated and too see, first hand, if the rumored side effects are actually as bad as they are said to be. While she is up there a prison riot starts and she is taken hostage along with a group of people employed on the prison. Meanwhile on Earth a man named Snow, played by Guy Pearce, is being sentenced to 30 years in the space prison for conspiracy against the United States and espionage, which he has been wrongly accused of. When word gets down to Earth that the president's daughter has been taken hostage during the riot they send Snow up to save her, and in doing so he will be given his freedom.

At the beginning of the movie I was not impressed by the CG used in the chase scene, it looked terrible and just a couple steps up from the original Tron movie's effects. Then when we got into space and were shown the prison I was blown away by how beautiful it looked. There are some absolutely great action sequences in the film that are a lot of fun to watch. This movie did not take itself too seriously, which I loved, it kept making me rethink if it was an action movie or a comedy, every few minutes there are scenes where you're laughing hysterically and then they go right back into the action and that was something I thought was really well done and well put into the film to make it more enjoyable to watch.

For the first two acts the movie really delivers with good character building and really interesting concepts and a plot that could go places, I was really looking forward to seeing how everything came together at the end of the movie. Then the end of the movie came and I was very disappointed for a couple different reasons. First off as the movie is coming into its last half hour the action amps up and everything just happens. It happens so fast that it was clear they either ran out of money or time to make the movie and it just wraps up WAY to suddenly, and this is sometimes alright, if they have tied up all the loose ends in the movie, if that happens, I'm totally okay with a fast ending. Sadly that did not happen...at all. By the end of the movie there were so many loose ends that I was left totally unsatisfied. There were a bunch of cool things that they threw into the story that I was excited to see explored and explained and at the end of the movie they just seemed to have forgotten anything was happening and wrapped it up and slapped the credits on the end. It was rather disappointing.

So with all that what are my thoughts on the movie? See it if you are interested in seeing a cool action flick, but be ready to be disappointed at plot holes. If you liked the Fifth Element, see this movie, there is a lot of similarities.

I give Lockout a 7.5 out of 10.

Guy Pearce was great in this movie, he's definitely one of Hollywood’s least utilized actors. Him and Ewan McGregor need to be in more films, get on it all you movie people!

That's it for this review folks. Follow me on Twitter @Nait93

Blogspot Episode V The Blogger Strikes Back

So I know, its been a long time since I've written...again. I'm sorry, the whole not having a computer thing really makes it difficult to blog as frequently as I would like to. So what's been happening in my life in the last month and 20 days? A whole lot of NOTHING! A few very uninteresting things have happened, one interesting thing happened and one important thing happened.
Starting with the uninteresting, I got a raise at work, this also means I get back pay because they haven't given me that raise when they were supposed to...about 3 weeks late. Survivor started up again, I love this show, I've been watching for ever, litteraly. I've never missed an episode, in fact I'm watching it right now. And then theres just a bunch of random crap that happened that no one would care about, if anyone cares about what I'm typing to begin with.

The interesting thing is that a very great guy I know has given me some pointers on how to review comics and such properly and how a rating system for them works. I'm really excited to get into doing this and adding it on the blog here, and, crossing fingers, I get to do it for a living one day that would be the greatest thing ever. I love comics and I love talking about them so this would be a great opportunity. Follow him on twitter @joeyesposito, seriously, this guy is a boss, he's the head Comic Book editor at a little company you geeks may have heard of called IGN (@IGN), and he's written a great comic book series called Footprints, check it out when the trade drops in December.

The important thing that happened occured on Saturday morning. On Wednesday I got a call from my mom saying that my grandfather was in the hospital, Friday I came down to see him and he was not in very good shape, and Saturday morning I he passed away. Today was the funeral, it was an amazing service and I got to hear a lot of stories about him and his life and meet a lot of people he knew. His best friend was there and it was amazing to see and hear about the bond between the two of them. He was the greatest man that I knew, he loved everyone he knew, and he knew everyone, and he was the greatest Grandfather any one could ask for. He'll be missed greatly but he left the most amazing memories behind for his kids, his grandkids and the few great grandchildren that had the honour of knowing this man.

Long Time No See All You Sexy Beasts!

Hey everyone! Contrary to popular belief I'm not dead, YAY!!! My computer is though, BOOOO! So I'm currently borrowing my mother’s computer to write this. I don't really have much to say but I'd like to mention one thing. I'm not 100% sure if I've mentioned this before but I'm in a band, we are called Take Two, we recently participated in a battle of the band put on by Supernova and we placed 4th. I'm really grateful that we were able to take place in this and that we placed so high our first time out. We all had a GREAT time and can't wait to play again, soon.
We hope to be heading into a studio soon and get some material recorded, but for now here are the links to some of the songs we played this weekend. Thanks again to everyone that was there and everyone who voted for us, have a great day everyone!

Hopefully I'll have a favourite Country Songs of 2011 post up soon. When I do there will be a link HERE
