Holy Crap, It's Been Nearly 3 Years!
So I'm not 100% why I'm going to start blogging again. Pretty much the whole idea was to let Matt and Mick know what was up, but now that I'm in Edmonton, seems kinda pointless. Anyways, with that being said, here is a small list of what I want these blogs NOT to be:
1) Another Maddox blog where all I do is bitch about things I see. There are enough of these around and I can't stand them anymore.
2) A preachy blog about how I'm so enlightened on the ways of the world because of my knowledge of politics, conspiracies, or the economy. Besides not being able to stand these types of rants, I have no knowledge of those three things.
3) A boring journal about how I'm discovering my true self. I don't think I need to explain why I won't be doing one of these.
With all that being said, I will try to keep this as similar to the old ones as possible. I'll pretty much just let you know what's happening with me, and may throw in a few movie recommendations and drink recipes.
So I have an interview at Hudson's Bar tomorrow. I'm hoping to get a job in the kitchen because I miss working in a kitchen and I would also like to have some extra cash as it seems the student loan isn't gonna stretch much longer. Another plus to having a job is I won't have to be around this god forsaken dump all the time.
Haven't watch much in the way of new movies lately. I did see the 4th Indiana Jones film a month ago. I thought it fit pretty well into the series. A lot of people gave it slack for having aliens in it but come on, look at the other films. The first film was about the Ark of the Covenant, the second was about some sort of voodoo stones, and the third about the cup of Christ. To me, aliens is a hell of a lot more realistic than this crap. It was pretty much the same as the old ones, except Harrison Ford is old as hell. If you liked the old ones and hated this, you're probably just one of those fuckers who bitch and moan about how new sequels of old movies ruin them. Grow the fuck up and watch the film, it's good.
New music is also pretty hard to come by, but I did pick up the new Guns N' Roses album. For those of you who are not up to date on the whole GN'R fiasco, let me recap. The last album of original work to come from these guys was 91's Use Your Illusion series. Since then they've released a cover album and greatest hits. Somewhere in the late 90's, the entire band, save for the singer, Axl Rose, quit. Since about 99, Axl has been talking of a new album and has had about a million people join and leave his band. Finally, Chinese Democracy came out last November. Now you'll hear millions of people say this album is crap because it doesn't have the original members in it. They'll claim that the rest of the band is needed to write good songs and that was the reason for their past success. However, Axl proves that he is the real talent because this album is extremely solid, if not great. I has a very industrial sound to the guitars and Axl's vocal style reaches about every range he can do. Long story short, it's only $15 in stores, and well worth it. Now let's look at what the other members of GN'R have done since the breakup. The rest of them formed Velvet Revolver with Scott Weiland... I think this speaks for itself on how much writing talent the rest of the band had.
Finally, I received the sad news that my favourite author, Michael Crichton passed away. He is known for many novels which include Jurassic Park, The Lost World, Sphere, Congo, Rising Sun, and Eaters of the Dead. All of these were popular as films as well. He is also known for writing the script to the series ER. I am in the process of reading his last novel, Next. Hopefully most of you have enjoyed his work in some form or the other because he is truely gifted.
Ok, I know that's fucking long, but hopefully I can trim off some of the useless shit next time and give you guys the short read that you attention span requires. I'll leave you with a recepie of a martini I learned recently.
