Inglourious Basterds

an unused poster work for Inglourious Basterds from joblo.com I saw Inglorious Basterds the other night, and it was one long ass, but good movie.

Right off the bat, I knew it was going to be an extremely violent movie because it was directed by Quentin Tarantino. And this man did not let me down one bit.

The beginning of the movie was a little nerve wrecking because you did not know what was going to happen at because it defiantly seemed like the calm right before a horrible storm hits hard.

Another good thing about this movie is no character is off limits to death. Some of the characters that I thought would live died (in some awesome ways if I may add) and the vice versa occurred as well.

If you haven't seen the movie, then you need to because just hearing Brad Pitt doing southern hick accent is worth the price of the ticket alone.



Strawberry Swing - Coldplay

a snapshot from the beginning of the video I am not going to lie to you, at first I was not a big Coldplay fan. The only song of theirs that I heard was "Yellow" and I hated the video. But over time, they became one of my favorite bands to listen to as well as watch.

They have tons of awesome videos like "trouble", "the scientist", "viva la Vida", and one of my all time favorite of theirs "Life in Technicolor II". Their new video is quickly rising to become one of my favorites all ready. The song is called "Strawberry Swing" and the video is amazing.

The video consist of Chris Martin laying down in the street in various positions while acting out whatever is drawn on the street near him with chalk. It really is cool and you can check out the video here.

Weather Report for Texas.....

.....its too damn hot here in the summer.

Billy's Graduation Celebtation

How in the hell did this kid graduate in just a shade under a decade? Well, its official, Bill Spring graduated from college and it only took 7 years for him to do it. And to celebrate this special occasion, well threw him a Graduation Party.

The graduation party started out really nice and really low key. A small group of use went with him to a restaurant called "Chimy's". It is a small place tucked in an alley. They have awesome specials and the prices are really low. I should charge them for advertising the place, but it was really good. The group, which was about 17 of us, stayed there for a couple of hours enjoying the atmosphere and margaritas.

The group then decided to go to Pete's Dueling Piano Bar, but the place was too packed for any us to hang out with each other or get good service so we went to 8.0s instead, which was a good choice.

8.0s was crowded but we did find enough space for the whole group to sit together to the right of the stage. At this point of the night is where everything started to go south.

Within the first 15 minutes we were there, Billy had 4 shots and a couple of beers. Everyone at once thought it would be a good idea to buy a shot, but nobody was smart enough to inform anyone else about it.

About an hour later, Trl and I decided to talk to the band to see if we could get Billy on stage and just embarrass the hell out of him. And they said of course he could get on stage for a song.

Trl and I escorted Billy's now drunken ass to the side of the stage where Billy then decided to hit on a mom and daughter at the same time. Some of the stuff he said was priceless but also some of the dirtiest things that I have ever heard in my life. The band introduced Billy and they made him dance to "Doin it in the Butt". Everyone in our group, well everyone except for Martha, rushed to the stage to take pictures and just watch him embarrass himself. After his standing ovation, everyone returned to our table, except for Martha because she was there the whole time in some stupid pissed off mood, and continue to have a good time.

About on hour after the his first time on stage, everyone was getting pretty crazy, especially Billy. After way too many shots and Billy hitting on every girl in the bar, he was asked to leave by the 8.0s management. The funny thing was is that it is only 11 at night.

Billy didn't remember much about the night before but he knew he had a good time because his mom left him several messages on his voice about how he needed to call home quickly so she and his father could talk to him about the decisions that he had made before.

The next day, we went to his parents house for a family/friend party that was not going to be anything like the night before. It was very relaxing and low key. There were probably 15 people there, but the majority of the group were family. His dad did buy us a keg of Shiner, which was transported to Billy's house and finished at 4 a.m.

There is no other way to celebrate your college graduation with killing all of the brain cells that contained all of the information that you had learn from college.

The Room

If you want to see the world's worst movie, then you need to see "The Room".

"The Room" is about a weird love triangle between a guy named Tommy, Lisa, and Mark. The reason this is the world's worst movie is because the movie makes absolutely no sense at all. There are so many plot holes that you never know where the movie is going at all. They even use some of same footage over and over again but try to hide but showing the footage backwards.

The acting is also bad. Everything is overacted and the only person who seems to know any thing about acting is the drug dealer who is only in the movie for about 5 minutes, if that.

If you don't believe me, then check out the trailer, the cancer line, the best conversation ever, or the best line.

The movie has also been described as the "Citizen Kane" of bad movies. It is so bad that they show the movie as a midnight feature where people reenact some of the scenes and throw stuff at the screen as well. The good thing about the movie, is that you need to watch it a couple of times to know what is being said because you will be laughing so hard about how bad the prior scene was.

The Clegg Brothers Bday Party Weekend

During the weekend of August 7th & 8th, Jon and Jarrod Clegg decided to have a birthday weekend party.

Jon decided to have his portion of the party on Friday night at Dave and Busters. A big group of people showed up to have dinner and drinks. I would say that about 15 people showed up for this portion of the party. We were there for a couple hours playing games, eating, and drinking. We then decided to go to Joe and Kelly's apartment.

Joe and Kelly have a pretty nice apartment. Of all of the people that went to Dave and Buster's, only about half of us went over to their apartment. It was becoming pretty late when we got there, but everyone was sure that something awesome was going to happen. And it did.

Jarrod and I were outside on the balcony when we started to hear some arguing occur in the parking lot across the street. Of course, Jarrod and I had to go and investigate what ever what was going on and we then witnessed one of the coolest things that I have ever seen in my life.

Apparently, it was a couple, probably in their mid twenties, get in a argument of something stupid. The guy wanted to leave the apartment complex, but the girl would not let him. She was trying to stop the guy from leaving by standing in front of his car, big mistake on her behalf. When the guy got into his car and started the engine, the girl made her second mistake by laying on top of the hood of the car.

The dude then just sped off with her holding for dear life on the hood of the car. Jarrod and I then did the most responsible thing to do in a situation like this. We ran into the party and told everyone to check out this once in a lifetime event. The crazed couple drove down the street while a small group of people from all over the apartment complex came out to watch. The speed demon boyfriend and psycho girlfriend came back to the apartment complex, she was riding in the car this time, and just went back into their apartment. The whole crazy couple debacle only lasted about 20 minutes, but it was probably the best 20 minutes of the party.

The next night was Jarrod's night for partying. His party was at the Halifax Estate, its where a couple of his friends live, and it was a theme party. The theme of the party was "gangs". Basically, all you had to do was to dress up like a member from your favorite gang. I got to the party late because a group of us went to No Frills Grill for some food and drinks. We actually ran into a bunch of people we have not seen since high school.

After a small reunion, we finally made it to the party. The party was pretty fun. There were some drinking games, tons of music playing, and a little bit of food. People were dressed up as people from "The Warriors", "A Clockwork Orange", even some "Ninja Turtles". The party lasted what to seem to be forever mainly because I was exhausted from all of the events that occurred the night before.

After that party, some of us needed some food and the only choice is Jack in the Box of course. We would have gone to IHOP, but non of us wanted to stay up any later than we had too. Overall good night, although the next morning I felt like hell due to the late night cuisine at Jack in the Box. The Clegg brothers also had a good time, even though they do not remember much of the weekend events.

I am in US Weekly Magazine


....it is true. I am in the latest US Weekly Magazine. Apparently I am an eyewitness to the downfall Tony Romo/Jessica Simpson break up.

When I saw "The Goods", I was interviewed by Us Weekly about the movie. I then told them how Tony Romo was in the audience and he sat a couple of rows behind me and my friends. They asked about him and all i said was that he seemed to be having a good time.

A couple of weeks later, my cousin calls to inform me that she just read my awesome quote in the latest issue. Check out the picture, it is the cover of the issue that I am in. The feature starts on page 38.

If you see me on the streets and this particular issue, I will gladly autograph for you free of charge.

Housesitting

A week ago, I was asked to house sit for Ogle and his wife while they went to Houston for a wedding. Of course I said that I would.

Obviously the first thing I did was invite people over and hang out. And obviously that was a wrong move on my behalf. I don't really have to write much about this weekend. I think that the picture of note explains everything.....
