Accusation
You know I find it interesting when someone has to go out of their way to call me out on my own personal quirks. My best friend and I have an odd bond where we unintentionally look at one another and speak without saying a word. We do it all the time and unless someone points it out we are often unaware of it. I know it sounds weird because how do you forget looking at someone but it's the faces we apparently make while we are doing it.
Anyways the point of this is a teacher decided to talk to us about it. We were sitting in class minding our own business and she asked Daniel what his last name was. He told her and she said she got him checked off on the attendance. So he replied with "Excellent". This apparently set her off and she responded with "I need to see the two of you after class".
Before I go any further I need to describe this person to you. She's one of those weird hippie people who humps trees and likes to sleep on rocks. She listens to music that sounds like it was made by a guy on acid. She also apparently follows every religion ever. She's very strange and has all these weird stories about weird people she's met and spiritual journeys she's gone on. She also told us she gets up at 4:20 every morning...very random time.
So she pulls us aside and says "I'm getting negative vibes from you both. I feel there's disrespect between us." So we asked what it was we were doing. She says "You know what your doing." Actually no I don't and if you can't tell me what it is I'm doing you obviously don't know yourself, idiot. So in the end we squeezed out of her what her issue was.
During both classes we've had with her we watched this horrible movie called Baraka. It's just some music with footage badly edited to it. I fail to see the relevance of it. Anyways there's a part where these guys are doing this Balinese Monkey Chant. It's fucking hilarious. So Daniel and myself start laughing, this is apparently disrespectful. Then at the end of the video there's a guy yelling with no audio and he has this intense look on his face like he's shitting his pants. We also found this to be hilarious, this was also apparently disrespectful. Lastly she engages in this ritual with a Bald Eagle feather. This is where we lost it. She starts running around the room in a circle waving the feather around, it looked like she was trying to fly. Then she gets on her knees in front of every student and starts waving the feather at them with this intense look on her face. Daniel was first so of course he laughed, he was caught off guard. I kept a straight face but I was almost last so I had time to prepare.
So she tells us we have to respect every culture out there and laughing isn't okay. I find this funny because she told us she has the Eagle feather illegally. She took seven of them from some forest she went to and brought them back here. It's not legal to own these but she doesn't care because it's man's law. So it's okay to disrespect man's law but it's not okay to laugh at the Balinese Monkey Chant. That's ass backwards logic. She also can't expect everyone to feel as passionate about this crap as she does.
For reference this is the Balinese Monkey Chant. Pay attention tot he bald old guy he's the one that set us off. Especially towards the end.
And here's the face guy I mentioned. It starts at 1:35. The music was removed because of copyright issues but even without the music it's pretty much the same idea.
As for the looks Daniel and myself tend to just look at each other whenever someone says something retarded and then we laugh. We have some morons in that class. There's one guy who yells everything he says like he turrets or something. He also went off on a tangent about Micheal Jackson in the middle of class.
So yeah that's my rant for today. Don't even get me started on my Creative Writing teacher.

Living Arrangments
No I'm not moving out. I just finished refurnishing my living room. Actually the correct term would be furnishing, there was literally nothing in there before. I went out one weekend and bought two side tables, a coffee table, a futon, a TV stand, a 42 inch LG HDTV, and a bluray player. Then I bought a bunch of poster frames and my roommates and I began filling them with 27X40 movie posters.
So far we have Gran Torino, Dirty Harry, Iron-man, Ninja Turtles 2, Children Of Men, and Rescue Me. On the way are Rodger Rabbit(The girlfriend), Hellboy 2, and lastly Dark Knight. Amazon decided to mangle the first DK poster they sent me so I had to call them up and get a replacement. By the time all is said and done the place will look pretty spiffy. I'll be sure to post pictures.
This is part of what I've been up to. The rest is homework. I also saw some movies. Busy busy busy.
I have a new idea I've been trying to bring to fruition. If anything comes of it I'll be sure to post about it here first.

Gas
Without a second thought every time I fart, I laugh. However last night that wasn't the case. All the times I farted combined into one giant ball of gas. I felt like I was going to explode. At first it was funny, it smelled bad and I got some funny reactions out of Daniel and Tiffany. Though after about a half hour of horrid smells the pain started. I got up and ran into the bathroom. I sat on the toilet trying to fart out whatever was in me. I kept farting for a good half hour. Then I got tired of sitting on a cold toilet and moved to a bathtub.
I filled it with hot water and sat down. After awhile I was laying on my side. I just kept rubbing my stomach as Daniel instructed. If I wasn't in pain the farts would be funny, they were in the water and making huge bubbles. I kept trying to stand but it hurt to much. Finally I just said forget it and I got to the point where I didn't feel like I was going to burst. It was then I stood up and took a shower. After that I sat on the couch for awhile and then went to bed. I had taken some Gas X when the whole thing started and I assume it worked late into the night to get rid of all this built up gas.
I can still feel it brewing inside me. I hope it doesn't happen again. It was completely random when it did, no idea what set it off. I know one thing though, I won't laugh at a fart again for at least a day and I'm probably gonna be eating salads for dinner from here on out.

15 Minutes of Fame
I made a music video for one of my Dad's old songs and sent it to him. He loved it and e-mailed it to everyone he knew. One of those people was the guy who runs the record label he's on. The guy liked it so much he posted it on the front page of his labels website.
It's under July 11th and the video is called Hot Rod To Hell By RapidFire. Blogger hates the link so your gonna have to copy paste it sorry.

I thought I'd share this with you all. It's the first time I've had a solid reaction like this to one of my videos outside of a classroom setting.

Season Finale
I've been so busy lately I haven't had time to post anything. I'll hop back to it after things cool down. I just caught a breather in between all this chaos I've been dealing with. I finished my Audio final, Motion Graphics final, and I'm almost done with my final for Film and Society. My final for Studio Production got messed up so I don't know the fate of that. What I do know is I need a break and I much look forward to at least a day or two of sitting on my ass doing nothing. I need to be void of responsibility for a day or two to get my sanity back.
The next season will start soon.

The Night is Young and the Moon is Bright
Alright so after finishing off volume 1 of Moon Knight I jumped into volume 2. Before I did though I took a quick turn down a different road. In one sitting I read through the best selling graphic novel of all time, The Death of Superman. I was just going to review the last 4 issues of Moon Knight I read but I'm gonna toss in my thoughts on The Death of Superman.
I honestly bought this graphic novel for one reason and one reason only.
I wanted that figure of Doomsday. It was easier to obtain it this way then any other. For the price of this set I could have only gotten the figure so why not take the extras? The Superman figure is ass and to be honest the book was as well. After one night of reading it brand new out of the box the fucking cover fell off. That's right the glue came undone and the whole cover just fell right off. Cheap bastards, I didn't even finish reading it when it happened. Anyways onto my review...
The Death of Superman - What's there to say here? If you haven't read it let me just tell you it's boring. Honestly Superman just isn't very interesting and I can't say I care about what happens to him. He has to decide between stopping Doomsday and saving a kid from burning to death at one point and he complains about it, what a prick. He fights Doomsday but it's quite brief. The slug-fest spans across several pages but as the issues get closer to his death less panels are used a page so by the last book everything is a one page spread. The writing is horrid and there's random ass characters in there no one cares about.
Like this guy The Guardian
He looks like a gay hood ornament. Seriously, Captain America called he wants his shield and costume back.
Course Marvel on the other hand had to rip him off. I mean look at this guy.
And I'm not even joking when I say this guy has the exact same name. Like not only the same hero name but the same first name, James, and his last name starts with the same letter, H. To top it all off they both have nicknames based off their middle names. The DC one is James Jacob "Jim" Harper and the Marvel one James "Mac" MacDonald Hudson. What the hell? The DC version came out in 1942 and the Marvel knock off in 1978. Maybe it was Marvels idea of a joke.
Anyways back to Superman, uh he dies but not really and he takes Doomsday with him, but he doesn't die either. So you really gotta ask yourself, what was the point of this whole arc? If your gonna bring back everyone who dies in the same comic series what is the purpose of killing them off? Shock value? Sales? I'll tell you what it was because I was bored enough to watch the special features on the Superman: Doomsday movie DVD. They wanted to have him marry Louis but the TV series out at the time wanted to do it first so they had to wait. So with a year of planning out the window they decided to re-write what that years story arc was gonna be and they finally decided "Fuck it we'll kill him".
Half ass'd, lame, stupid, pointless, a waste of time, the fucking cover fell off, and the Superman toy sucks balls. I might as well have just bought Doomsday by himself.
Back to Moon Knight...
This volume features up to issue #30. There's 38 issues in all so I had to buy 31-38 off Ebay. I still haven't gotten a hold of issue #35 yet. It'll be awhile before I get there though so no worries.
# 11 - To Catch a Killer - Alright so this ones not too bad, except the villain looks like Mr. T. That and his name is Cajun Creed...ugh. Anyways it's about Frenchie's X lover who abandoned him randomly one day. She goes to Steven Grant's Mansion to drop off a package and tells him to give it to Marc Spector who then is supposed to give it to Frenchie. She realizes quickly that Steven is Marc and that Frenchie lives with him. Shows how weak Marc's identities are. Anyways Frenchie and her have a heart to heart. The whole thing baffles me because Frenchie is gay in the new series and tells Marc he only stayed with him all those years out of love for him. Pretty odd he was gay the whole time but loved a woman so deeply, maybe they decided to re-write that as well.
Anyways Mr.T, I mean Cajun Creed kills her and Frenchie and Moon Knight go to New Orleans to catch him. He does and it turns out she was an agent for the government who infiltrated Creed's operation and took a bunch of his drug money. So he hunted her down and killed her. Story was pretty thin but it wasn't that bad, other then how lame the villain was.
# 12 - The Nightmare of Morpheus - The first villain I consider to be super natural, despite him really just being a failed operation. This villain is a guy who got treated for something, I forgot what, and the end result was his inability to sleep. It drives him insane and turns him into a monster. His lack of sleep manifests itself into a psychical form and he uses it as energy to kill people and destroy stuff. The longer he stays awake the more powerful he gets. Like a vampire he recharges during the day light and stalks at night. They never explained why he's deformed but whatever he looks cool. Anyways I enjoyed this story and this character I hope there's more issues with him in it.
# 13 - The Cream of the Jest - Holy shit is this issue lame. It ranks a 99 on the suck-o-meter. One of Daredevil's enemies gets out of jail at the same time some nobody crook Moon Knight put away. So of course they just happened to be cell mates, and just happened to want to team up. So This Jester guy dresses up like a retarded looking clown and has evil toys he makes, like robots with exploding air planes that come out of them I'm not even making this shit up.
He's seen here with the most unoriginal assembly of villains ever.
Mr. Hyde, Cobra, and JESTER WOOOO THE TRIO OF DOOM! Beware...
And for good measure a better body shot
Yeah he sure looks cool. So check out his menacing powers. Aside from being able to create evil toys he's a bad stage actor, skilled gymnast, and swordsman. He spouts off corny lines of dialogue and like a Shakespeare villain he announces everything before he does it.
Enough about him, the story is balls, Daredevil is a stupid character, he's blind yet he can see. What is he a fucking bat? Moon Knight kicked his ass proper like he should so at least they got that right.
Alright that's all for now. Next time I do a comics review I'll hit the next few issues of Moon Knight, it might be awhile though. I read the first few pages of the next issues. The villain in it is named, and I'm not making this shit up, Stained Glass Scarlet...
