And the posts just keep coming. I tell you that it'll keep on getting more random because it's what I want to put up.
I just realized that I could have put this as part of my last post. Oh well, that's my mistake.
Anyway, this is what I have left to look through! I know I won't get through each and every movie in my collection, but I'll give it my best shot.
As you can see, I have a pretty decent number of films in my collection. I'm sure that it'll continue to grow as I come across other worthy entries.
The bottom line is, no one can call themselves a zombie fan unless they watch and/or own these fine (in some cases, not so fine) films.
I also noticed that there was one movie I forgot to include in the picture, Zombie 3. Yeah, that one is fun to watch and not take seriously because nothing in that film makes sense.
I shall go more into detail about these films in a YouTube v-blog very soon, so look forward to that! I will also post a short entry based on that v-blog here, and a post on my favorite zombie movie. There's so much to say and so little time and space, but I'll find a moment.
Until then enjoy your Halloween and don't become zombie food! Ha!
So this is my 21st post. Hopefully they'll keep on coming!
Several posts back I mentioned having a week long marathon of my favorite zombie movies. Well, I thought I'd give you a little peek at what I watched already.
I started with Zombie 2 and left off with the 1990 remake of George Romero's Night of the Living Dead. It's a great start, and there are still a lot of another movies in my collection that I want to get through.
Halloween is tomorrow, and I'll definitely watch my favorite zombie movie before the premier of The Walking Dead.
Well, it's Saturday and I went briefly this morning to take care of an errand. I was dressed in jeans, a hooded sweater, a scarf and a jacket. Even with these protective precautions, the cold morning air was a little prickly to say the least!
One thing I could appreciate was bright blue skies, people out and about, and the traffic around my neighborhood. And, the exercise!
Yes,sir! Between my home and where I needed to go it was a good it was a good eight blocks. So, that's about sixteen blocks total.
I bought myself a nice breakfast after I took care of my errand. A Dunkin' Donuts' breakfast sandwich and an orange coolatta.
Tasty and refreshing for a Saturday morning!
Oh, on another note. This is my twentieth post, amazing! I didn't think I would make it this far, but I proved myself wrong.
Anyway, stay tuned because more posts are coming later today!
Wow, I can't believe that I have almost reached twenty posts on my blog!
I was looking through my Youtube page when I noticed that another Youtuber, I subscribe to, had posted a new video. The title was enough to catch my attention. Of course, some of you might just think of me as being more weird for finding this interesting.
To that I say: You Will Be Amazed and Intrigued Too!
The video was filled with Japanese students and adults who are proficient pen spinners or twirlers. A while back, I had been interested in this skill, but grew impatient every time the pen fell out of my hand.
After watching this video and observing the skill and different methods of pen twirling, it's correct to assume that my interest has been piqued again. I am so fascinated by how easy it looks and I want to give it another shot.
Well, enough of me yapping about it. Just watch the clip yourself!

Oh Japan and Japanese people! You continue to fascinate me with your quirks and inventions. One day I will visit you!
I debated whether or not to talk about this, and decided to go ahead. Like I mentioned before this blog will be filled with random thoughts and things I come across. Some will be straight forward, while others pertain to the awkward moments or questions of life.
This will be a response to one of those random questions.
Recently, someone I know asked the question, "How do you mend a broken heart?" My interest was piqued because I heard various remedies throughout my years as I'm sure most people have. Sure enough, this person had some of those answers and a few unique ones.
This person always has a good sense of humor.
I guess my question would be, "Who broke it?" Now this is getting into an area where the response could touch on anything. It's far to large to discuss, and I, honestly, don't want to here because it's not the point of this post.
In the past, I have been able to look past something like this. I would just wait it out and let time continue to tick away in hopes for something better. Now, I sometimes think about whether I made the right choices throughout my life. I tend to think too much, so that isn't a good tactic.
And, I also think (there I go again!) waiting or letting too much time go by can't bring you the "healing" that you are looking for. Then again, maybe it does. Everybody functions and reasons differently. So, to each there own.
I will say this: How do you mend a broken heart?
You let someone/everyone help you to pick up the pieces. You do everything that you want! Even if it means being somewhere else to do it, then do so!
A little slice of life; although, you (like most people) already know this, but it's always good to hear someone else say it to.
That was longer than it should have been, but it was one of my circulating thoughts.
This has to be the strangest post that I will put up, but after further thought many of my posts are or will be strange!
So what is Squirrel Fu and the Art of Vicious Rodent? Come on, you can't figure that one out on your own? Doesn't the picture on the left clue you in to what that is?
Yeah, I guess my thoughts were also left to wander when I first heard "Squirrel Fu". I mean I didn't know just how vicious these rodents were until I saw a squirrel thrashing around in the grass.
Let me tell you!
That squirrel was on hyper turbo mode. I didn't know whether he was fighting with himself or trying to rip the leaves on the grass. But, it was quite a sight!
These rodents are vicious and wild when they become confrontational. They fight with raw, gritty and savage instinct. As the picture above clearly indicates, they are tooth and nail in your face.
This picture is hilarious! To the right we have evidence that even squirrels will resort to the use of lightsabers.
I wonder what kind of control do they have over the force? Their wild nature most allow for frequent bursts of immeasurable power.
I mean, I'm talking over 9000!
Some of you out there might know what I'm referencing.
In general, I believe that all rodents are vicious animals that will defend and/or retaliate against aggressors who invade their territory or take their food. However, it is the nature or way that they engage in combat that I find to be intriguing because it is formless, yet direct and efficient.
For such small mammals, squirrels display an intense and artful combination of fighting that can equal or rival most martial arts. The picture below should clearly be evidence of that.
There is something both dynamic and brutal about this picture. I found this picture a long time ago and thought it was all the rage, so it was great when I rediscovered it. I remember thinking that it had to be a digitally enhanced picture, but it looks real.
A shot captured at the moment of an extreme encounter! I would go as far as to say that this picture alone demonstrates poetry in extreme motion.
That's my take. What do you guys think?
And, if you want video proof check out the link below.
Those are some jumpy squirrels!
Maybe I'll make another post on cat fighters!
Until then, Peace!
I keep seeing ads for this movie everywhere, and the trailer plays every five minutes on TV. Nothing speaks advertising - to create interest - like "shoving it in your face" until you become tired of it. And, that is exactly what the distributors of the film Skyline have done.
Now, granted, most film companies benefit from the over exposure their films get. Low-budget films can certainly gain something from the hype created, but I'm not impressed.
Instead, to me, it comes off as annoying.
However, that is not what I find unimpressive. When you look at this trailer, the first thing that jumps out is the fact that there are hundreds of ships appearing at once.
What does that remind you of?
The next thing is the flying spacecrafts are appearing and hovering over, what looks like, major city skylines.
Those two points alone should remind you of a similar film that used the same visual tactics back in 1996. The only difference is that these ships don't appear to be a mile wide. At least they don't appear to be; of course, I could be wrong.
Figured it out yet? Well, if you guessed Independence Day than you guessed right.
I honestly believe that this movie is a direct imitation of ID4 because it uses those same visual cues, but takes it in a new perspective by focusing on a small group of average people instead of the military and scientists. While this may be okay, I can't help but think that Eric Balfour's camera wielding character is similar to T.J. Miller's character in Cloverfield.
They're both running around trying to video tape the whole event as it happens.
I may be judging the movie too harshly based only by what I saw in the trailer, alien movies of this kind are a dime a dozen. There are some really interesting visuals and battles that some what give the movie a fresh POV, but how will it all end?
The plot behind the British sci-fi film Monsters is actually a little more appealing.
As far as Skyline goes I may or may not see it. Only time will tell.
Until next time!
I just realize that this whole post looks like a huge ad for the movie, Ha! Oh well, watch the trailer and make up your own minds.
