At the Movies....

Its been awhile since Ive posted...damn you life getting in the way....lol...

Ive been to see quite a few movies over the last month or so... (I love the fact that there are so many cool Syfy/Fantasy/Superhero movies actually coming out that Im able to see come to life on the big screen) so I thought Id comment on just how different going to movies today is from when i was a kid... (no this isnt going to be a special effects chat..lol)

First off, going to see a movie when i was young consisted of either going to the drive in (which was a great time) with a carload of people listening to that horrible speaker you hung from your window or it was getting a ride from your parents taking you and a few friends to the local theater. (Yes they were called movie theathers back then..)..

I saw alot of movies. Stuff with my Dad that he liked (All the outdoorsy movies -- anything about Big Game, Deer, Grizzly Adams, Sasquatch, that I was able to see at the age of around 7-8 years old. I remember he took me to see 2012 (the sequel to 2010 a Space Odyssey). I thought it was pretty confusing but i was fascinated by the special effects...He fell asleep as he pretty much always did when watching a syfy movie... The drive in was usually saved for the family and Disney stuff.. All the Disney classics.. all the cartoons, even the comedies...Herbie the Love Bug, Escape from Witch Mountain, etc, etc... I remember going for popcorn in the lobby and seeing all the upcoming movie posters and being scared by the horror movies stuff i saw in there... hell even the classic poster for Close Encounters (the one with just the dark road with the light at the end of it) scared me back then. The bottom line was ... it was thrilling... I loved going ... I loved allowing myself to be launched into another world for a few hours and then getting my friends together and pretending to be the people in the movie and creating our own adventures... I remember playing "Jaws" off of my friends front porch... lol... there we stood with our fishing poles, throwing them into the grass pretending to be 2 of the 3 main characters on the ship... People mustve looked at us like we were totally crazy but we couldnt care less....

Then came Star Wars,,, oboy... I can remember seeing it like it was yesterday... The movie changed alot. Now we imagined being in that galaxy far far away and furthering the adventures of Han and Luke and of course the evil empire.  Again, I can remember leaving the show with a huge smile on my face dreaming of what I just saw. My friends and I had seen the movie to end all movies..(while my Dad again fell asleeep lol)

It just kept going, Raiders of the Lost Ark, TRON, The Black Hole, Close Encounters, ET, the Goonies  all the Star Wars sequels, even TV got into the act (but thats a story for another blog)... Then i stated to get into horror movies.. This of course happened when i was in my teens later toward the 9th grade or so. Not sure why but that was what was cool at the time... Ah the slasher movie, Halloween started it all... then Friday the 13th, Texas Chainsaw, Nightmare on Elm St and all those that followed. These were the movies of choice to take the girls to see (hoping they would be jumping throughout the show on us of course lol) or to watch at the house on VHS and Betamax when you had your friends over for a party... a different type of enjoyment for a different reason and age group but unforgettable none the less....

Then came the Action flicks... Rocky, Rambo, Terminator, Die Hard, and all the like. Us guys were watching the macho stuff while the ladies watched the "girl" stuff ..  Comedies were always thrown in there as well.. Classics like Caddyshack, Meatballs, Planes, Trains and Autombiles, The Jerk and all the others...

Name a movie that ive seen and i can probably tell you when and where the first time ive seen it and what memories it brought back for me.

That was the point...

Movie Magic they called it...  I can fondly remember seeing the first Superman... Seeing Chris Reeve flying on screen was breathtaking.. I felt i was there with him.  Watching the first Batman (not the Adam West stuff) .. When he comes on screen and says "Im Batman"... unreal... I was seeing the books i read all through my childhood come to life.

Ive got to say i am thrilled I have been able to see all these things come to fruition. All the superheroes i read about weekly making their way to the big screen... I know the genre will fade someday eventually and make room for something else. I can only hope that there are kids out there somewhere with vivid imaginations running around pretending to be Superman with a bathroom towel on their backs without a care in the world except for who they were saving today and what movie they were seeing this week....



(Thanks to JJ Abrams for making Super 8 which really led me to this blog... the movie just flooded me with memories)

Kiss the rain....

Driving home today in this nasty rain and wind storm I found myself thinking.... just when did rain and snow stop being fun and start being an annoyance?

I know there must have been something that happened... Some event that made me go from enjoying running around outside in the rain, playing football, basketball, swimming (being underwater in a pool during a rainstorm is awesome) etc..outside in sometimes driving rain storms until my parents would come after me and tell me to get inside... (basketball was kind of tough playing on the wet court with the wet ball but we managed)....

When exactly did snow become just that lousy white stuff that I cant wait to get rid of?

Again, to go from making snow forts, playing football, pretending to be on Hoth (from Star Wars of course)...just not giving one damn about getting soaked, falling down, sliding, etc...in fact hoping those things would happen....

Even as a teen to my early 20s I have fun memories of running around in the rain... maybe even that first kiss stolen during a rain storm.... and trudging through the snow at State College to get to classes...

and today... I just worry that my car wont slide much and that I can see the road... funny, just for a second... I almost felt like stopping near a beautiful hill on 81 .... getting out of the car and letting that spring rain beat down  over my face... like when i didnt care....all those days ago.....

News of the world....

So its been awhile since Ive blogged and Ive been busy... Been working on my Adventures in Retail book .. just writing some stuff here and there.. slowly putting it altogether. I didnt want to totally stop my blog or neglect it so Ill just jot down some random thoughts...

I have to admit.. all of the goings on around our world have been on top of my mind lately. I mean who can blame anyone for thinking about it? Seems there is something horrible happening around every corner.. Now trust me, I know that we live in an information age and as my Journalism Prof once told me .. "Bad news sells."

However, I cant help but wonder just where alot of this stuff is leading.. Kind of scary when you start to think about it all. I guess maybe if I was more into faith like I was when I was a younger man I might just leave it to that and not be concerned. In fact, Ive been thinking alot about whether or not I should attempt to get back to that in some way shape or form.

Everyday you read about different species of animals in large groups dying... (birds, fish, insects, and dolphins were the latest I read) seemingly without any scientific explanations. (at least good ones) ... These huge earthquakes occurring in Japan and other areas...Huge solar flares striking the earth... Unbelievable stuff... which of course triggers all kinds of End Times, End of the world theories, etc, etc... There is even a website based on 2012.. showing maps of where to move to and which areas would be the best to live in when the BIG ONE finally hits...

Now obviously you cant dwell on any of this. You say your prayers for the victims, shake your head in disbelief and you move on with your day. Nothing else you really can do.. If you start making stuff like this a part of your daily life it makes things way too depressing.. You really do have to live for the moment and day to day... not like its anything that any of us really can control. I was watching a show on the Discovery channel about earthquakes and disasters and they mentioned how Japan was one of the most prepared countries for something like this. They build their skyscrapers with weights on either side to make them sway and not fall in the event of an earthquake. They send their children to classes to learn what to do in the event of a disaster. Yet what did it all do?  Is it good to be prepared? What do you even prepare for? I learned that we live over a fault line that usually has quakes every 100 years or so... and they said we are overdue for one. We are lucky but will we always be?

A scientist was asked what we can really do to prepare for events like these?  He mentioned to pack a bag with a battery operated radio, flashlight, some bottled water and w loud whistle (in case you get buried under something and need to be found).. interesting... what i find almost funny is that all this awesome technology we have and we rely on battery operated devices and a whistle...

Many have said that knowledge is power... maybe just opening your eyes and ears to these situations is a good thing. The other thing I wonder is ... would YOU like to be a survivor? I know that we all have an underlying need to survive no matter what but would you want to live in a whole new world? Maybe with alot of devastation, ruins... struggling to find food, water, the most basic elements you need to live. Many would probably answer depending on who they survived with... and thats probably the best answer you can give. TV shows like the walking dead (great show btw) are certainly horrific and far fetched but the dilemma those people face (minus the zombies) could be very real at some point in time. Personally, I hope Im not around to have to live through or see it...


So friends of my Blog.... What would your choice be?  A survivor in a potentially hazardous new world or not?   respond with your answers.. oh and sorry if I bummed anyone out...I had to get this off my chest...

One step up and two steps back....../ a good book

Sorry its been awhile since my last post but Ive been really not in the mood to share stuff... Just alot of the outside world coming down on me at once... Work and the pressures of getting people to buy stuff in this economy, weather and this seemingly everlasting winter, gas prices and prices of everything else going up and up and a big chunk of my paycheck going to fill my tank to get to work (kind of ironic when you think about it).  The title refers back to a Springsteen song that I found myself listening to years ago when I found myself in a rut. Doesnt life feel that way sometimes? You take one good step ahead one day when everythings seems to go your way and then the next two days feel like you came crashing down two GIANT steps to fall back of where you were when you started out... Try as one might to remain positive, it just does get to you after awhile. The times we live in arent fun (lets face facts) and dont look to be repairing themselves anytime soon... but its neither here nor there and nothing we can do about it for the most part so..... On to the second part of my blog tonite. Escapism seems to be the thing today... How can we escape from all this?  Travel - love to but it costs way too much money to go away, movies are fun but getting expensive also, video games are a big one for me but you need to pry away from them or you end up with carpal tunnel or just bored.. The TV?  yeah I dig my wrasslin a few days a week but I dont really watch anything other than sports and old sitcoms...or movies which I already own on DVD... lol... so whats left?  Especially in the winter?   Yes spring is coming sooner or later and that will allow for more outdoor activities and happier times.  

What this calls for is a good book.... Yes a book... you remember them?  The hardcover thing with the printed paper in between?  lol...  I always loved to read and still do. Ive taken to reading smaller stories now such as graphic novels and comics or stuff on the internet. I dont get to sit down with novels alot anymore because I find myself laying down and falling asleep and then the book hits me in the face... not fun... If I do find that novel I read during the day more than night. I used to always buy the novels of my favorite movies just to see what they wrote into the story that didnt make the movie. I actually read the book before I see the picture. Yes it ruins it but I know then what was left out... I have a ton of movie paperbacks that Ive gathered through the years. I also have alot of comics and graphic novels that Ive read that were excellent. A few stories from my life stand out... I remember reading a book called "Where the Red Fern Grows" back in 5th grade about a boy and his two dogs... Very compelling book... Sad story yet a very good book. I remember reading Othello and really enjoying it. Then all the movie novels... I read a book called the Dragonlance Chronicles... Excellent story... The book was huge... maybe the largest I ever read but worth every minute. That took me months to finish but it was worth every minute... Its my 2nd favorite adventure novel behind LOTR.. Then I read alot of Stephen King. Short stories especially. Ive also read some awesome graphic novels as well. Those of you who arent comic books fans, trust me you would enjoy these as well... The Dark Knight Returns... This one was amazing. Read it in one sitting. Batman 10 years after he retired comes back and tries to take Gotham back when hes over 60... Frank Miller wrote it and it is still one of the best ever... Watchmen... Just finally read this after the movie came out and it was as good as advertised. The Crow... One of my favorite stories ever... Very sad redemption story... A Spiderman book called Kraven's last hunt... which was dark for its time and another very good book... Sin City, The Long Halloween, Hush, The New Frontier the list goes on and on... Lately, Ive been reading all the Walking Dead books (love the show and the comics)... Ill always look to books as an escape and trips to Borders are usually fun to look forward to. So what books have left impressions on you? Have you ever read any book more than once?  What are you reading now?  Do yourself a favor and settle in with a book... they never seem to let you down.....(or charge too much for gas)...... See you on the stepladder.....

Thanks Mr. Lucas !!!!

I was in a pretty foul mood today when I left work... You know the usual work stress..the daily grind, etc...not getting into it here.  I had an inkling to stop at Borders for some reason. I was browsing the Sci-Fi section and I came across a book that I actually saw on the internet awhile ago but forgot all about. The name of the book was "Star Wars: Year by Year"  Its a timeline chronicle of the trilogy and the prequels and has everything from film stuff to merchandise to comics, even historical happenings for each year all the way up to 2010 ... I just got done paging through (just skimming taking in the pics) and WOW!!!  This book turned my entire mood around. I was flooded with memories all the way back to when I first saw the original Star Wars for the first time.. and the trip to our local department store afterwards with my Dad when I saw the first Star Wars action figure display right in the front of the store.. .Id reccommend this book to any SW fan.. Its 50 bucks but well worth it.

These movies had a HUGE part in my life. Pretending to be characters from the movie with my best friend Kim and using our imaginations to make up new adventures in either of our houses and also outside. We re-created Hoth when it snowed and Endor in the spring and then Tatooine on the playground in the Summer. Yes we played with the action figures also but mostly using our minds imagining ourselves as the characters.. We used metal flashlights as light sabers. Our fingers as the laser guns and the living room couch doubled as the millenium falcon and any other ship we might need.

As time went on as we got too old to play, we switched to the games... Video games for the Atari, then the NES and others. I had different friends then but the story still bonded all of us. We were able to watch them on VHS now whenever we wanted to. I dont know how many times we laughed listening to Red Leader yell "Stay on Target"... next door at my cousins house. At this point we could recite the movie... I was lucky enough to have alot of the collectables.. All the original action figures (which I later sold for money for a trip to Wildwood but thats another story) the ships, playsets, games, etc...

Then the trilogies were re-released and I got to see them in the movies all over again... I simply could never and would never lose the taste for the galaxy far far away... I went to novels, more games with better graphics, and then back to the collectables when the prequels arrived. I actually even stood outside of a Toy Works store for a midnight opening to get the figures and this time I wasnt opening em and I wasnt selling em. Yeah, I know the prequels were largely a dissappointment but for me I didnt care. Star Wars was back! I personally would have loved to see sequels to Jedi instead but o well. Almost every close friend I have met in the last 10-15 years have shared my passion with SW in some way. I actually got to go to a SW Celebration in Indianapolis which was amazing. Maybe the moment ill remember the most was going to see Episode III with my cousin and their family. Poetic seeing it all come to an end together. Ive never cried during a movie in my life and I joke about it but I got teared up at the end of III... Probably because I knew this was it. A huge chapter in my life coming to an end.  Well fans know it will never really end.. Cartoons, books, a new MMO, Spike TV marathons and BluRay will keep it around forever. (Maybe a live action TV show coming?) and thats as it should be. Thanks to George Lucas ... for thinking this whole thing up and being such a big part of my life... It still can bring a smile to my face at 41 after a rough day in our galaxy....


(Im sure ill be posting on SW again down the road in case I missed anything LOL)

Friends....

As I move along in my life, the one thing I am truly blessed to have are alot of friends. You always will have your family and they love you unconditionally. Most people have their significant others in their lives. Some have pets as well. All through my life in many different aspects Ive been able to make some really great friends.. I think the idea of a "best friend" is getting to be an outdatted concept. In many cases, your significant other ends up being your "best friend". I think its very important to have alot of "best " friends...  One of the things I am most proud is that I have held onto people that I care about and I call friends no matter where they may have gone or even if I no longer see them as I used to. Today I was lucky enough to have dinner with someone who I havent really talked to for a long time. I knew her from high school. Thanks to the social media I found that we were actually neighbors. She lives a block away from me and has for years. I didnt even know it. It was great to catch up and talk about the old days. Great friends old and new are what keeps life interesting. Chapters that you thought may have closed long ago are still open. Friends are awesome and I am very glad for mine past and present! 

My Wonder Years...(Angela Park ... My Mystery Crush)

I loved this show... and I still love it today... There is something about narrating ones life while looking back at it when your older.. There were alot of episodes that really hit home with me.  This show so many times reminded me of memories from my childhood. I was younger than he was in the 70s so the time frame doesnt really match but there are just so many topics on the show I relate to. All I can say is that the writing on the show in my opinion was excellent. I posted the episode that I watched tonite. An episode where Kevin is away with his family at a lake. Weve all been there.. Trapped with our parents at a place we really didnt want to be but they wanted the family time. All you wanted was to get away.. I can remember picnics like this. Kevin got away and met a girl. Cara. The dilema was she lived where they were camping. You know the issue. Not going to work. Kevin is eventually going to have to leave. Over before it starts. Of course, they hit it off and spend the rest of the time there together. She figures out he has to leave and the show ends. I remember a similar situation happening to me on a family picnic at Angela Park...(My Hazleton friends will remember this well).the moment is almost surreal to me now. I was walking through the park with my cousins. We always had free passes to ride the whole day. I remember they had alot of local high school kids working there. We were around Kevin Arnolds age...(14ish)  While getting ready to go on the bumper cars, I stopped and looked at the girl collecting the tickets. It was like I was hit with a baseball bat. She was gorgeous. I never saw her before. We went to the park just about every single Sunday back then and I never saw her there. I gave her my ticket and went on the ride. I couldnt help but look at her all the while. I left the ride and didnt know what to do. I didnt have the guts to up to her any say anything. She definitely was older than me. Probably a year or two. As I looked at her she would smile and then look away. We left the ride and went back to our picnic area. My family wanted me to stick around and eat lunch and stuff and I wanted NO part of it. I wanted to find her. Finally, my cousins and I went back. I looked for her and nothing. I ran to every place I could think of .. She was gone. I just about gave up when I saw her working another ride. She saw me and again the prettiest smile...A bit later I realized that she had been following us around asking for different places to work. There was also a guy working there who I knew that told me she liked me. I was thrilled. I told my cousins I was going to talk to her.. Get the courage from somewhere. For the next hour or so, I tried but she was so busy I couldnt get a chance. Then my Mom and Dad came calling for us. We had to go back and have dinner and pack up. I tried every excuse I could think of but my parents won out. That was the longest 1/2 hour of my life. I ran back to the park and she was gone. I rode the skyride to try and find her again and nothing. I ran through the whole park looking everywhere. I asked the guy I knew and he didnt know where she went. I was crushed. I sulked back to the table and got ready to leave. I took one last walk to the creek in back of the picnic area. I stood on the bank tossing rocks into the water. I looked to my right and on other side I could swear I saw her. She looked very sad. I wanted to find anyway I could to get there. My Mom came at that exact time and told me we were leaving. Just as I turned to look back, she was gone. I know it was her but I dont think she ever saw me. I begged my Mom to let me look around the park one more time but we had to go.... Its funny I still think about her to this day. We never actually even spoke.. Just alot of shy smiles. I went back a few more weekends after that and never saw her again... I almost swear I saw her once in the hallway of my High School later that fall but if it was she didnt recognize me. Ill never forget that moment or her. No dates, no talking on the phone, no conversation but a moment of my life Ill always remember ... a moment of wonder.....

Valentines Day....

Seems there are alot of people out there who really hate this holiday. I get it... I really do. While I was in my 20s and single and ALL my friends seemed to have significant others this couldve been THE worst day in my entire year. It reminded you just how SINGLE and LONELY you were... The day really made you feel worse about your relationship situation and ask yourself why you are such a loser... Well, at least thats what it was like for me. It is a tough holiday for those who dont have that "special" someone in their lives. Its definitely a couples holiday. (Really a womens' holiday which is cool)  I have to say I dont have a whole lot of great Valentine's Day moments or memories. I even think back to grade school. Remember when you had to buy those valentines cards to hand out to classmates?  Were schools sadistic back then? At least today they make ALL the kids have a Valentine for EVERYONE in the class. Not always that way. Back in my days only guys gave em to the girls they wanted to give em to and vice versa. So many of the poor kids would get stuck like Charlie Brown and have absolutely none while the "cool" kids in the class would have a pile of em. I was so shy that even if i did have a crush on a girl in the class, I wouldnt have had the courage to give her a Valentine anyways... I have to say Im not a fan of the pink heart and cupid holiday. Those of you who are I hope you have a great one!

Think about the future....(finally starting my novel)

So, Im seriously thinking about writing a book...again, something ive always wanted to do. I spoke to one of my customers and she mentioned a publishing company that bought her book and didnt charge her in the thousands to get the book out... I have two ideas. One, a semi boigraphy on my career in retail...aka Clerks type story. Ive certainly got alot of stories from my 19 going on 20 years. Of course Id have to change all the names and places so as not to offend anyone lol... My second idea and my most intriguing to me is to write the next big thing in syfy/fantasy ... There is no more Star Wars, no more Lord of the Rings. (well except for a cartoon and maybe the Hobbit.... these two greats can continue forever)  Its a lofty goal yes and im sure its a snowballs chance in a volcano but the world needs a new great syfy/fantasy trilogy story... and why not me? The issue here is keeping it fresh and new... Not going back to things Ive seen before... Its going to be tough but I think Ive got the beginnings of the main character and then I go from there... My plan and hope is to have the book out by next year... With any luck I can get it published as well.. 2011 is the year for me to move ahead with my dreams (refer back to my first post)  Not sure what exactly inspired me but im glad it did.. So let me hear some opinions.. what would you rather read?  I know its a tough question because everyone enjoys different things but between the above two i mentioned which would you prefer?? 

A little Celtics Lakers /past becomes the present....

First off a big shout out to Ray Allen!  He became the all-time 3 point leader in the NBA tonite... Celtics lost the game but it was a huge nite for Ray... Its funny how Ive really come back to be a NBA fan again over the last 5 or 6 years. I was into it big time in the 80s.. My grandfather and I were big Celtic fans and used to watch Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Rober Parish and the rest play the Lakers... Things change but somehow they stay the same... NBA was awesome back then.. Bird, Magic, Kareem, Dr. J, Isiah, Dominique, and of course Michael Jordan.. The game was always fun to watch. I had some great memories of those games. My grandfather was always a Red Sox fan, but he really enjoyed watching basketball with me. Now a generation later and Im watching with renewed interest. Yes, the game has changed. Some for the worse and some better. Its still my 2nd favorite sport to watch and I always loved to play. (once I get myself back into better shape Ill be playing again)  Its great to get geared up for the green vs. the yellow and purple again... Hopefully, they'll settle it all again in the finals this year.......

Rock of Life....

I was thinking today on my way home about how much music has meant to me in my life. From when I was a young boy singing in St. Pattys Day plays to the time we all did a studio rendition of AC/DCs Big Balls...lol... Its something thats always been there. Good times and bad. Think of a time in my life and Ill associate a song with it. I do have my favorite bands (KISS - bought my first ever cassette Love Gun when I was 8,  too many 80s metal bands to name, Robert Palmer (RIP), Journey, John Waite, Rick Springfield, Genesis, Yes, the list goes on and on... There isnt much out there I dont listen to.. Ive bought jazz cds, new age, even some old school 80s rap and even a select few country. Im a fan of music. I can remember listening to a song by Michael Jackson called "Shes out of my life" after my first broken heart. I remember blasting Guns and Roses cruising Broad St. I remember listening to Suzanne by Journey while driving to school. I got my favorite job ever just out of high school at a store called Listening Booth. They sold records (yeah the big LPS) and cassettes. I was in heaven. Didnt matter what I did there, counts, shrink wrapping albums, hanging posters, I didnt care.. I was working with music. Unfortunately, I was also giving them back all of my paycheck with the awesome discount I got. $4 for a brand new release cassette.. Needless to say my collection grew to over 2000 cassettes. (which i still have). More memories and more music.. It was the friend who was always there. There was a time I couldnt fall asleep without my Walkman on my ears. Music is an incredible gift. Those who can play it are truly gifted and talented. Ive seen people recording at a friends studio and I was just amazed. Ive seen live shows, many of which will stay with me forever. (The Police reunion comes to mind) Just hearing those cassettes being performed live is amazing. Im probably going to talk ALOT about music here. Its that big a part of my life... So, anyone out there have a song that is so much a part of your life that when you hear it you just cant help but stop what your doing and listen??  If so, please comment. Id love to hear em. Your also helping me to bring that inner DJ out as Ill be spinning the selections for you in my mind! Hope to hear from ya!  Talk to you tommorrow!!

Dreams...

I watched the Social Network tonite. Kind of inspired me to do this. Also made me think of all the dreams I have ever had in this life... My first was to be a sports journalist. Thats what I went to college for. I did an internship for a local newspaper for awhile but it just didnt work out. Imagine how happy everyone would be if they just were able to live out a dream?  Now i know everyone cant be a millionaire, or own an island but even the smallest dream you may have had...a dream job, a dream significant other..etc.. How happy are YOU when you are able to live those? Ive been telling friends for years that I was going to write a book, colloborate on a comic book, DJ for an 80s music station, something/anything Ive always wanted to do... Its time I do it. Even if I start here. Im not getting any younger... Time to reach for those dreams.  Anybody living their dreams now?

Welcome.....

Hey everyone... Welcome to my blog.  The Mind of Michalo (thanks to a few of my old friends for that one lol)   Ive wanted to do something like this forever and I just never looked into it... Im going to be writing about whats going through my mind.. Those of you who know me know my likes and dislikes. Obviously, Ill be posting alot about those as well as plenty of other things that cross my mind. This is going to be a place for myself and friends (old and new) to come and share opinions. Maybe in  a way we cant out there in the real world. All my life Ive been surrounded by some awesome people. Im still meeting new ones everyday at 41 years old. Id like to think Ive been able to make myself a part of them as much as theyve made themselves a part of me. This is for you.. and me... Please feel free to stop by.. Let me know what you feel about something. I want this to be fun. Going to try really hard to leave everyday stuff like work and worries out of the mix. Dont we all really get enough of this anyway? Now if you want to read about some 80s metal band that is making a comeback or how they changed something on World of Warcraft, than this is the place for you. Sports nuts, Gamers, Syfy nerds, 80s music fans, your all welcome here. I hope to see you all and hear from you as well. I could never make that Radio job come to fruition so I hope to be able to bring some of that to life here.... Be seeing you all very soon ....
