Some Archives: July 27, 2005

Everyone knows that the there will be a Transformers movie that is going to be released in 2007. What I am hoping to be the first to report in my little group of friends is that there has been announced a new Voltron: Defender of the Universe movie. Apparently two guys at New Line bought the right Voltron and then brought the project to Mark Gordon. This guy did do Speed so it should be a good film... It just will not have a good cast. He also did The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Which I was not to crazy about... Bring on the flame war... Fish once said that I expect every film to be great that's why I do not like so many films... But come on look at LXG it was lame... The only character who had any depth was Dorian Gray and he had the smallest part of all the main characters. Stuart Townsend is a good actor... He would have been a lousy Aragorn but still. The truth of the matter is that I do not expect every movie to be great but I do expect them to be interesting... Come on $10.00 for a damn movie ticket. Let me tell you... If I spend ten dollars on a movie... That is no longer two hours of entertainment... that is an investment into the Hollywood industry.

Back to Voltron... It appears that Voltron is a very lucrative commodity to have the movie rights to... It has generated $750 million in worldwide licensing and nearly $200 million in toys and merchandising since 1984. For the record... the Lions were the best Voltron. Followed by the space ships with the vehicles as a very distant third... after all it took 15 people to make vehicle Voltron. One person would get a hangnail and the world was in jeopardy because they could not assemble to make the robot.

So here it goes... two giant robot pictures from the 1980's. Now that we have Transformers and Voltron all we need is the Thundercats. [Note: They are going to release the Tundercats on DVD soon.] [On totally unrelated news... My birthday is coming up.] If they do make a Thundercats movie, it could either complete the holy Trinity of my child hood. Or it could be the trifecta from hell. Why is are all of my childhood dreams being destroyed... Why not make a He-Man movie next... They can have Calista Flockhart play Skeletor. For those of you who do know know how this movie will work.. It will be something like this
1. I'll form the head!
2. Form blazing sword!
3. ???
4. Profit!

They could make this more permanent. Such as "Voltron Office Of Home Land Security."

Bastards... While you're at it, go back in time and kick my dog, slash my bike tires, and burn down my fort. I swear this movie ticket better come with 20 hours of free therapy. Anyone who watched the show knows that it was basically the same thing every week... and that was to kill the beast thing with sword. And there were so many recycled action sequences it was not even funny. This movie is going to suck but you know what... I am going to watch it anyway... And you know what... I will probably like it... Damn you inner child. And for anyone who knows me knows that when I say Inner child I mean the whole Von Trapp family.

I have provided a good picture in the music link to show how Transformers are NOT as cool as Voltron... Let the flame war begin... Also the following link provides one of the funnies Voltron movies I have ever seen... It takes a while to download but I swear it is totally worth it... [note there might be an error message when it tries to play in media player... Just hit YES.]

p.s. I am going to slap the first small child, with a hockey stick, that gets it wrong and says that Voltron is a just like Power Rangers.

Little Dragon Where are You?

Ok so one of my best friends is on mySpace. As many of you know I have been on mySpace fr a while. Well I'm kind of annoyed that I have not gotten a friend request. I mean he is guaranteed a spot on my top eight and I get nothing. Well to tell him that I am waiting for his friend request I am posting this blog...

For those of you who do not understand the extra reading just put this number in 18851985. Some people should get it.

You are not as popular as you think you are

Everyone thinks they know how many friends they have on mySpace ... Everyone's friends are divided in groups of forty. If you have 1-40 friends it will take up one page on the view all friends page... if you have 41-80 it will be on second page. It follows like this:
1 - 40 will be on page 1
41 - 80 will be on page 2
81 – 120 will be on page 3
121 – 160 will be on page 4
161 – 200 will be on page 5
I stopped at two hundred because I figure not many people have more than two hundred friends on mySpace. Each page friend page looks something like this:
.____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____
| 1 || 2 || 3 || 4 || 5 || 6 || 7 || 8 |
|____||____||____||____||____||____||____||____|
.____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____
| 9 || 10 || 11 || 12 || 13 || 14 || 15 || 16 |
|____||____||____||____||____||____||____||____|
.____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____
| 17 || 18 || 19 || 20 || 21 || 22 || 23 || 24 |
|____||____||____||____||____||____||____||____|
.____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____
| 25 || 26 || 27 || 28 || 29 || 30 || 31 || 32 |
|____||____||____||____||____||____||____||____|
.____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____
| 33 || 34 || 35 || 36 || 37 || 38 || 39 || 40 |
|____||____||____||____||____||____||____||____|

Many people many notice that on each one of their friend's pages there are a few people missing. The thing is that for every page there are supposed to be forty friends and if you have any empty spaces mySpace still counts those empty spaces as friends. Thus if you go through and count each and every friend manually you will notice that your friend count is over counted by those empty spaces. The problem gets exponentially worse the more pages of friends you have. I use the word "exponentially" because I was taught it in math class. And that is the first time I have used it in a sentence. The funny thing is that the more friends that you think you have the less popular you really are. I first discovered this problem many months back with a friend of mine and we stayed on the phone for hours trying to figure it out but we could not figure it out. Finally I got something...
What happens is this... If you accept someone as a friend and then their profile is deleted you will never notice because the count wont change. If you go back to your edit friends page you will notice that there are profiles with a big "X" next to them they will say "DELETED -This profile no longer exists." If you delete them you will finally see how many friends you really have.
Once you do this reply to this post and tell me how many friends you thought you had and how many you really had. That should be fun...

Two Months Later

Wow where has the time gone... Well I guess I should apologize for not being around in a while. What can I say... I guess I have been too busy trying to have my birthday today. Don't ask. Well I hope everyone continues to log on. I have a lot of stuff that I want everyone to read. I am sure that everyone has been wondering where I have been all of this time. What can I say; I have been working like crazy. I have been doing 50-hour weeks at the bank. I wish I could show you guys some of the things that I have been doing at the bank but what can I say it is all confidential so I can not talk about them. Ok that is all I have to say. Have a happy day!

On A Side Note

Well first I guess I should apologize for being gone for a long time... I have been a little on the down side and decided to be a recluse... I also went on vacation for a week and did not touch my laptop once. That was on the miracle side. But as far as being depressed I think that I am getting over that so I think that I should be ok for a while. I have decided to try to pick up my life and try to move on from the mistakes that I have made. Kind of like trying to was my sins in the storm. I hope that everyone is ready for a lot of reading because I have a lot of things to talk about... Everything from the news to post about my last couple of weeks and even some new poetry is on its way. Stay tuned people.

Guess who's back... Back again...

Hey everybody. Well let me apologize for being gone from mySpace for so long. I have been busy and I have been trying to get my crap in order. I have some good stuff planned for mySpace. My friend Fish just joined the mySpace world. Thats too bad. I wanted to bring some of the stuff that he had posted on Lj. Some of the stuff that I will bringing is not mine, but some of it is. As usual I hope everyone enjoys what comes along. So here goes... I have a case of Red Bull and buzz that wont die until I am done writing.

Welcome to mySpace

Well the fist thing I must say is welcome. For those of you who were unaware... For the last couple of months I have been transferring all of my stuff from LiveJournal. I had spend some good years on Lj and I did not want to loose that. I mean some of that stuff was really funny and some of that stuff was really sad so I figured that all of you should read that... For those of you who did not read it... FOR SHAME!!! Come on people. You know that I am doing this for the attention so you might as well read it.  Read all of that with all of my bad spelling... I must warn you now...

My decision to join mySpace was not easy. First was the matter of all the writing I had done. For those who know my writing know that I spend hours coming up with a single post. That is when I decided to transfer all of that stuff over. At first it seemed a little daunting but after a while I got the hang of it and I think it came out pretty good. I lost one post that would not come over. Which was not so bad. The other one was one that I posted in August of last year. I had writen ths post in Russian and mySpace does not let you write in Russian. After freaking out about it form days and actually debating whether or not I wanted to continue my move over I finally figured out a compromise. See each post takes a lot of time to compose. That is why I do not post little bulletins and that is why I do not leave messages on peoples pages. Its not because I do not care. Its because I am not crafty enough to come up with something witty of the top of my head. Also I am not the kind of person who goes on and on to talk about their lives. I find my life kind of boring actually. So I talk about other stuff and throw in a little of my life just for kicks.

The second reason why I did not want to leave was because of the "Extra Reading" Section of my posts. There is some really good stuff in there people... If you are not clicking on at least some of those... FOR SHAME!!!

For Another reason why I did not want to leave was because I had so many friends on Lj that I did not want to leave them behind. But then I ound ot that Molly was on mySpace and that just made me decide right there.

There were other reasons too that I can not, right now, remember...

So anyway... if we are friends and just want to read what I have to say. Or if we are just acquaintances and want to know more about me. Or if you are just stalking me... Come in and pull up a chair, relax and have some fun... Because I sure will...

Good bye cruel world...

Ok by know I am sure you have noticed that I have been gone for quite a while. Let me tell you something. I am not coming back. I have decided to move on and not look back. There are people I am taking with me but if you did not know the news of my departure then you were probably not meant to follow me. At this time I would like to thank you for the time we spent together but now it must end. A while back my friend had this great message on her phone. It said. "Hi, I have recently made some changes in my life. So if I don’t call you back, you are probably one of them." So I in turn said this, "Hi, I am not available to answer the phone right now so just leave your name and number. If I don’t call you back it was probably because I was tired of waiting for you to call me." Yeah that’s a brief description of how things have been. So if you don’t know where I am going and want to follow well all I have to say is I’m sorry. I am sorry if you think I left you behind it is just because I needed mySpace.

Shady's Back, Tell A Friend

So I have been gone for a long time... Many things have changed and I don't know how much people will endure reading this stuff... So I will try to make things as interesting as possible... I have not written anything in a while so who knows how this will end up... For those of you who do not go to my site directly you should try it... I have updated certain things on my home page... I have changed the background picture and I have realigned my "Free and Clear" Plan... I was talking to my friend at JoAnn's and I mentioned that I was calling it "Free and Clear" and he knew immediately what i was talking about... More about JoAnn's later... I have no idea where to start so I am just going to post at random... Here it goes...

Holden Inspired

Just yesterday I went into JCP to talk to my friend and stuff. I was showing her something on this site and she complained about the name... For those of you who have not managed to stare up into the Title Bar of your browser you will see the phrase... "David Copperfield kind of crap." Yes, the big blue stripe at the top of the program that you are currently using actually has a name and is not called... "Big Blue Stripe At The Top of The Program that You Are Currently Using."

Well anyway my friend from Penneys complains that she does not like the title. I have had this complaint before. I had a golden Retriever trying to lick my face at the time so I could not concentrate on the complaint... What can I say I like golden retrievers... or maybe I just like blondes...

Any how... For those of you who would like to know the Copperfield phrase comes from JD Salinger's "Catcher In The Rye." its actually on the first page and it reads like this...

If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.

Post number two down... 12 more to go... Hey I have to make up for the two weeks that I was gone...

My Personal Live Aid...

Ok it has come to my attention that some of you who are reading this are not taking the time to look at the links that I have so nicely picked out for you guys. Actually the truth of the matter is that I get a list of all the times that each link that I provide is used. Remember, there are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them. There is a reason why i pick them out... I think that if you take the time to go to the link then you will enjoy the post a little bit more... specially for the previous post... I would like to give props to the person who sent me that link in the first place.

Where Has the Happyness Gone

Well I guess we are back to the old stile. I just wanted to go away from Cohen. It seams to have been so prominent in my life for the last 7 or so months and now I want it gone. Thats why I wanted to use Pink Floyd song titles. Oh well. Pink never got me a speeding ticket, or a talking on the phone ticket, or distracted me into crashing my car. I know these things are my fault but I can't help if it's time to let all that stuff go. I know what some people are thinking. 'give up Leonard Cohen?' Not totally but for the most part. Don't worry I'm not insane. I won't start declaring that the river has dried up or the rain has stopped falling. It's coming to the time when things have got to change...

Ok so I finally put a logo picture up. I think it's pretty lame. I want it to scroll a little slower and not loop for ever but hey, it's a work in progress.

Public Service Announcement

For some reason all my friends seem to be interested in reading this blog. Well for all those that are reading this I want to lay down some ground rules.

Rule #1:No names. Do not post your name or anyone else's name. Find out another way to describe some one else. I am in the process of devising a way to encode peoples names so no one can tell who someone else is. I did have one code but that code is out on the Internet like the Paris Hilton sex tape. Once I have figured out how to encrypt peoples names I will tell everyone and will thus tell everyone their own name.

Ok you know what that is the only rule that I can think of. Everyone should know that you should check back often. You should also scan old posts because sometimes I add things to my posts.

Some people might be thinking "who is the weird person on the right." That person is Leonard Cohen. He is by far the greatest writer to ever walk this earth so there.

Cool now back to the posts.
