Okay so a couple buddies sent over this video to me. It was a series of pranks they were pulling on their new room mate. Anyway, watch what happens.....
Hey Folks, those of you that followed the competition may remember a heavily make-up'd man by the name of Buddy Fox. He made a video that parodies the top contestants. Anyway he contacted me this last week to chat with him. Below is his submission video that he used in the competition and below that is what happened when I showed up at his house with my video camera. Laters
Last night (Monday) the advance screening of Tropic Thunder, Starring Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert Downey Jr. showed last night and I have to say it was an experience. The movie opens with several "previews" of the actors in different movies that will have you laughing so hard you wont know whether those were real or not. Following the movie, it was definitely a dirty one. It has everything from blood and swearing to drugs and children with knives. Hey if you're a local actor you will truly enjoy this movie as it makes fun of the superficial Hollywood Star in more ways than I can remember. If you're not an actor and a fan of Ben Stiller, this movie is a must see. The best part by far, and this is a spoiler, is the cameo from Tom Cruise. He plays an aggressive business capitalist that enjoys threatening peoples lives and dancing to bootylicious. Trust me, you'll love it. Anyway its out this weekend so......leave the kids at home (with a baby sitter of course you genius).
This was an interesting story I stumbled upon in a magazine the other day. The article talked about a secret CIA experiment that dabbled in the theory of mind control. This experiment was conducted back in the 1950's through the 1960's. What the CIA was doing was exposing individuals to intense mind altering drugs and other methodology in order to, as you know, attempt to control the mind of the subject. Originally the CIA was using volunteers in the experiment, but later decided to test on unknowing victims. One reported stated that CIA officials opened up shop at a brothel and would serve unsuspecting patrons wine laced with LSD. When they got bored with these results they went even bigger drugging foreign officials and those alike to "see what would happen." Things started falling apart when a man, drugged with LSD, committed suicide one week later because of the intense trip he experienced. Anyway, through the 70's the CIA claimed to have put a stop to the program and much of the evidence of this experiment, known as MK-ULTRA, was destroyed. But in knowing that the CIA would attempt to do this, you have to wonder what else they have done that we do not know about and perhaps what they are experimenting with right now. I'm sure mind control is still in the agenda. What government agency wouldn't want that? God Bless America
This last weekend I took a trip out to L.A., one of my favorite vacation spots. While there I had a long talk with an old friend about life. We talked for a long time about the things we wished to accomplish before we die and dug up our old dreams that we wanted to accomplish yet never did. You may be able to relate if you go through your closet and find those old pair of roller blades that you wanted as a kid so that you could train to be an Olympic athlete (or something similar to that example). Why did we do this? Because we wanted to learn from our past. Many times in life we all set out to accomplish something great for ourselves and simply end up growing bored and discarding the whole idea.Everybody does it and that's fine, but eventually it becomes a bad habit. I had many goals. I wanted to be an astronaut, an Olympic champion, a Stanford graduate, a professional snowboarder, a tennis legend, and a film director. Each one of these goals I actually did attempt. The tennis racquets now sit in my closet along side my snowboard. The college study books lay at the bottom of my book shelves, unused next to my books on star charts. But I am not discouraged. My friend told me that these forgotten dreams are like that old adage about history. If we fail to learn from our past, we are simply bound to repeat it. And who knows, I still may be an Olymic champion or a movie director, but today is a great day to set out to be something great. In sharing this, I hope you too someday achieve your greatest wishes and dreams. Tell you what, if you e-mail me at faceoffox@kasa.com and tell me what its is that you wish to do before you die, I will give you free passes your choice of advance movie screenings in the future. Well everyone have a great day and I hope to hear from you all.
I'm sorry, but in light of this being a pretty funny idea, these geeks actually set up a website that allows you to go and buy old and recycled Nintendo parts that have been refashioned into clothing accessories. Funny thing is that some of this stuff costs more than necessary. I mean way more. For example they have the old Nintendo controller refashioned into a belt buckle going for nearly $60. Whatever. All I need is 3 bucks, an ebay account , glue, and some time to waste, and viola, you nerds have some competition. What a gip!
Hey So today is the big day over at Dairy Queen. I will be there from 3 to 5. Come by and buy a Blizzard to help support UNMH's Children's Miracle Network. The Dairy Queen is located on Southern Blvd. out in Rio Rancho. Just hop on Paseo Del Norte heading West. Turn Right on golf course and follow it over to Southern. Turn left and it should be there in the area. Cant miss it. Hope to see you all there. Mark
Hey so my old friends at Jib Jab sent me over this video to show you all. I sure do hope you all like it. Just a little something to remind you that politics is a wonderful thing. Mark
One of my friends sent me this. I cannot explain how awesome I think this video is, but you be the judge. Enjoy your week day and I'll continue to find ways to make it better...or worse. Whatever. Mark

This one is interesting. Someone wrote me an e-mail asking that I research the end of the world so that people could be warned of the coming disaster. Anyway, looking into it I find a lot of weird stuff. So to start, the world is going to come to an end on December 12, 2012. How do we know this? Because the Mayan calender said so......right. Right now there is huge hype going around the internet about the end of the world. Not only has the Mayan calender predicted this but so has the Bible. Yap Yap Yap. So how is the world going to end? Well there are a few theories. #1: We all go to war, the world acts all funny, and the second coming saves the lucky few. #2: Planet Earth is struck by a huge chunk of rock......and Jesus saves everyone. #3 (and my favorite) A huge planet titled Planet X (Which has an orbit of about 3,600 years) will cross near by Earth causing volcanic eruptions, polar shifts, and stopping the rotation of the planet. Further more an ancient alien race known as the Annunaki will invade from Planet X (These are the same aliens that helped build the pyramids and so forth) and enslave human kind so that they can mine for gold. But don't worry, eventually they will leave, as they always have since the dawn of time, and the world will go on. I told this guy who e-mailed me that this was loony. Anyway he went on to tell me that planet X should be visible by May 2008 and Jesus will be visible by 2012 to the East. I think this is all BLEEP. Here is why: the last time someone told me the world was coming to an end was during Y2k. Anyone remember that? I woke the next morning and people went to work, the buses were on time and the world kept on turning. I think people just read too many comic books. Laters
I personally think he's innocent. So how the story goes, Christian's mother and sister are charging the actor with assault and battery. Well why would Christian do such a thing? Turns out Christian was actually approached by his mother who was demanding that he give money to his sister (100,000 pounds) so she could raise her three kids. Christian probably refused and next thing he knows, mum is making derogatory at his Wife Sandra. See I think this is the downside of fame. One minute you're on top of the world, the next everyone just wants to take something from you. Even your family. Well the matter has been contained as a personal matter by Bale. He denies ever hitting the two, which I think is true. When you have lots of money it tends to make those around you crazy. Go Bale!
Or more specifically, the Joker was Awesome! I saw the advanced screening last night and let me tell you, this was a powerful film. The story was great, the action keeps you at the edge of your seat, and Heath Ledger.....wow. His portrayal of the Joker was divine. Of course the film was very dark, so if you're not into that kind of thing, than this film may not be at the top of your list. But those of you who enjoyed Batman Begins, this is a must see, obviously. It will definitely help you find perspective on whether or not Heath deserves an Oscar for his performance. Oh and if you missed the preview, there is still the midnight showings. Better hurry though, tickets are selling out fast, if not already sold. Otherwise add this one to your list of movies that you must see. I promise, it is powerful. Dark yes, but powerful. You may just find it to be interesting. On the down side. The film is longer than two hours, so if you don't have the patience for a film like this, best wait for rental. Also some have said that there was about 30 minutes in the middle of the film that really could have been done without. Some of the fight scenes were too long, the story did not really focus on Batman, but more his nemesis. So hey, those are the comments I have heard about it and if any of these help you out in making the decision to spend $10 on the film, glad I could help. Otherwise go see it. Its worth it.
