RANGO
Published 2011.03.07 | 
As in, the name is …
Went to see the latest animated monster box office explosion Saturday with my family, and I have to tell you that it was awesome. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed Despicable Me and after that Mega Mind. However, Rango was written on a much higher level while also on the lower kid level. This was much like the old Bugs Bunny cartoons where kids and adults both loved them and thought they were funny, but for two very different reasons!
So, I say all of this to say, go see Rango if you have the opportunity, it’s a blast, I am sure you won’t regret it. The whole theater was packed and everyone, even the kids, where belly laughing all over the place.

Books, books and more books
Published 2010.09.14 | 
One of the things I like to share here is what I happen to be reading, or in most cases just finished reading (or listening) to. Dunno why, other that the fact that I love books and when I find some good ones, I want to let other people know about them so they can be enjoyed by others as well. I’ve started my share of books that fizzled before the end and turned into a big yawn fest, but I have a little more faith in ones that get recommended by friends. So, I’ll do the same. This will be an ongoing thing, and it will be a lot of posts as I catch up even just what I have read in the last year or two, but hey, why not? You never know, both of you that come visit this site my find something you like!
I am going to start with a trilogy that I just finished last week. This is another set of books that, much like some others I have read (Eragon for one) in that despite being put in the kids section, it seems like quite an adult book. Great story and story telling, captivating plot, and all in all an ending that wasn’t bad. I am talking about the Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins. The three books in order are: The Hunger Games, Catching Fire and Mockingjay. Check these out, they are an easy read and yet tell a very entertaining story. I couldn’t put them down, I just wish I had a few more in the series!
Order Of The Black Cracks Top 5
Published 2010.08.20 | 
On the heels of our previous post about just how damn good the new album from Zakk Wylde and Black Label Society is, we have some chart numbers to back it up, baby. At the end of it’s first week the latest album from Zakk and Company titled Order Of The Black has reached number 4 on the Billboard top 200 charts across America, and number 1 on the Billboard top 100 Hard Rock charts. Pretty damn good for a guy that less than a year ago had a health crisis that left him nearly dead due to blood clots in his lungs. That’s what I call a helluva comeback. If you haven’t already, get out to your local record store or fire up iTunes and grab the latest auditory masterpiece from Father Wylde, you won’t be sorry!
Order Of The Black Astounds Listeners
Published 2010.08.17 | Yeah, I’m a fan, but I can still separate good music from bad (not a question of like or not, though like I do ;]). The new album from Zakk Wylde and his Black Label Society came out a week ago and I am still listening to it, examining each track, absorbing it and taking it in. This album is amazing, I mean I can’t tell you how many times I have gotten a CD where there was one or two good tracks and the rest was pretty much filler (never with a ZW or BLS cd of course), but every damn track on The Order Of The Black is awesome. From hard hitting metal madness to rock and roll badness to powerful ballads that make you want to weep and call your mama just to tell her you love her. This album is a masterpiece of music, a wide range of music styles, a superb example of Zakk and Co’s abilities and of course, Zakk’s writing ability. You need to go get this album and give it a spin. I can guarantee you this, if you aren’t a Black Label fan now, you will be after listening to this record.
