     I am by no means old. I am only 28 and still have plenty of life left in me, but I have hit that point where I realized I AM getting older. I have a bunch of nephews and nieces who I am pretty sure are all smarter than me. Friends are getting married and buying houses. And the kicker… shows I used to watch when I was younger are now on Nick At Nite! I don’t want to get older because getting older means change and I have never been a big fan of change, but a couple of things this past weekend have shown me that getting older does not have to be a bad thing.

It’s been awhile but I am back with another marvelous Top 5 List. I was sitting around the other day thinking about all the great board games I used to play. I would like to play some of these games more often than I do but unfortunately none of my friends or family seem all that interested in playing these types of games anymore. Which kind of bums me out since a lot of these games can be started with out much prep time and they are a nice change of pace from what we usually do. So at any rate, I realized I should  rank my favorite board games and put them in some sort of list so others will know how much I like them. Why? I don’t know but here it is anyway. So have fun. (more…)

I have recently fallen in love with zombies… hmm, ok maybe not recently but my love for them has reached new heights. I have always been a fan of zombie movies (good and bad) and I have always really enjoyed video games with zombies or zombie ‘like’ creatures in them. But I (with the help of my friend, Gamin) have recently uncovered two zombie gems that may have been overlooked by the majority of the populace. The Peter Jackson film “Dead Alive” aka “Braindead” and the video game “Siren: Blood Curse”.  (more…)

I have to be honest. I am not a huge sports person (other than boxing of course). Sure if one of my hometown teams is doing well I will check out a game or two (GO RAIDERS!). Or if I have money riding on a game…or two (going to Vegas and putting twenty bucks down to possibly win a thousand makes sports really interesting). But other than that I really don’t watch or keep up with sports. It’s just not my thing. So why is it that I love movies about sports? There are a ton of great sports films and I love a lot of them. For a really long time I couldn’t figure it out. Until I realized sports films are like sports concentrate. All the thrills with out all that boring in between stuff like commercials or time outs or commentators. Films have to be exciting and compelling otherwise whats the point. So all that stuff I find so boring is eliminated. HA HA! Sports the way it was meant to be watched…edited! So here is a list of my Top 5 sports films… (more…)

OK ok ok. I have been meaning to do this one for a while but it was tough because comics change all the time. One day you will be into a certain comic and then all of the sudden they change writers or artists and the comic goes right down the crap shoot. So what I have done is basically picked out my favorite comcs during a certain point in there story. For instance rather than just saying X-Men I have selected a certain point in the X-Men story line as my favorite. So now that that is explained lets get to it… (more…)

Here is another awesome Top 5 List. This week I am making a list of my top 5 favorite stand-up comics. This is another one of those things that will change every now and then depending on what mental state I am in at the time. But I tried to do my best to make this one accurate. So lets go…

This one is almost a week late and I’m sorry but it was tough figuring out what to write. I am no sports journalist, and I am pretty sure that will become evident as you read on. But I gave it a go any way. I am a pretty big boxing fan. I try to keep up with the sport as best I can, but the boxing landscape changes all the time. Fighters come and go. Only the truly great ones stick round. Here is my list of my all time favorite boxers. (more…)

Ok this top 5 was requested by Kuna. She said that if I didn’t do it she would hurt me…sooo I decided to do it because I don’t want to lose a thumb. 

I really enjoy CG movies. Even if the majority of these films are geared for children I still like them. Maybe it’s because a CG movie takes so much time and effort to make the creators of these films have no choice but to make sure they do the best they can. Whatever the reason here are my favorites… (more…)

SOOO… When the previews for Iron Man started coming out, this past spring, I started to talk smack about how I was going to boycott the Iron Man movie. Why? Because in the Marvel comics he turned against his super hero brethren, and is partially responsible (in my mind anyway) for Captain America’s death. But as the movie got closer to release my stance on the matter weakened, and I went and saw it and was blown away by how good it was and blah blah blah… My sister on the other hand (she also reads the comics because I lend them to her) was not so easily swayed. She actually stuck to her guns and to this day refuses to forgive Iron Man for what he did in the comics and refuses to see the movie. This is a copy of her blog from Myspace on just that very subject. I think it’s pretty funny.

I know this is a little quick but I just got to do this one because it’s been in my head for the whole week. My Top 5 “They Might Be Giants” songs. They are one of my favorite bands and I was lucky enough to see them live this past year. They put on a really good show. If you are a fan and get a chance, go see them live. You won’t be disappointed.  So here it is my top 5… (more…)
