To name a few. Check it out...you'll have a good time. Plus, Run (or Reverend Run) as in DMC is the Keynote Speaker!!! Run, don't walk and get your tix.

and holy crap...did you see Six Feet Under??? well, Nate's dead! this show is brilliant...i've watched this show for what 4 seasons now...and it wasn't worth it until this episode. can't wait for the Nate ghost to start making an appearance with the old man.

Lastly, how depressing is this world, when they keep making these idiotic Shrek "films"? everyone knows that i hate Shrek as much as i hate Hitler...ok, maybe i hate Adolf less...i attempted to watch that trash they called a sequel...it's really not fit for humans...young or otherwise.

What bothers me is that the guy who directs these Shrek movies has been given the reins over the next Lord of the Rings...yup, Tolkien's best friend and colleague at Oxford, C.S. Lewis, is finally getting his due with the celluloid version of the first book of the Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. I confess, this looks frikkin' awesome...but if there's one Scottish Ogre in this one, i will kill.

49. I think i'm going to quit my job and become a dog breeder. current events have allowed me to ponder new avenues.

48. Jealousy hits me like Ike Turner whenever i listen to OK Computer or Disintegration...why can't i be that brilliant (i could use "Why Can't I Be You?"--but that's too obvious). i should've become a rock star. There's a FLIP in the Pixies...why can't i be in a band like Interpol or something, i can wear suits all the time.

47. I had my chance to go to medschool...like most kids who couldn't get in here...i was accepted at LaSalle University in the Philippines...good think i didn't...b/c i'm so happy now (yes, that's sarcasm)

46. I am addicted to CoKe (a cola)---imagine if i was a cokehead...wouldn't that explain a lot?

45. I've been bitten by more humans than I have been by animals.
