So Cal Vlog #1Category: vacation
So I went out to Southern California for a week. I have a couple more videos to edit but I'm going to post this one here just to get something out there.
I traveled with a friend o fmine and hung out with a friend of mine who works in Santa Monica with whom we stayed at his townhouse. The air on the pier is just refreshing and amazing. I didn't feel too well when I went out there (maybe I was sick of work) but I felt like a million bucks after being in the sun and heat of Southern California for a week. We then hit the Hollywood Bowl for the Sound of Music Sing along, which apparently is a big event. Honestly we just went to see the venue as it is a legendary art deco historical place and bought tickets off of ticketsnow.com at the last minute. We ended up getting box seats and had a blast.
The next day we went to the Epicenter 2010 concert festival.
I went to see really to see Bad Religion, Suicidal Tendencies, Rise Against and Blink 182. Seeing Blink in SoCal was just a perfect thought. I was a bit disappointed with 30 secs to mars. Jared Leto just rubs me the wrong way as he just seems like an out of control ego manic controlling freak. I came to hear you play, not order everyone around.
Anyway here is the first video.

the social networkCategory: movies
Wow! What a great film. It just shows what really drives the internet after all, love/sex and other raw volatile emotions.
I hate to say it but I really feel for Mark Zuckerburg. I guess it was the opening scene after getting dumped by Erica Albright when he starts drinking and blogging on Livejournal. Who knew that is how to become a Billionaire is to: (Have ZERO ZLICH NADA Social Skills or Game with the Ladies) Thus fueling your sexual frustration and then not only flaming her, but taking it to an exponential level!
But yea, you have to give him credit for rising above the pecking order of society and becoming CEO, Bitch!
There were also some great references in this movie. One to Niagara Falls and the other one to the Original Karate Kid, which was too funny given the prototype of the members of Harvard Crew.
Did I also mention that the sound track is totally kick ass?
How can you go wrong with Trent Reznor. Some great pick for songs included California Uber Alles by the Dead Kennedy's. Also whatever electro/trance song that they were playing in the club when Mark is having an Epiphany with Sean Parker Mr Napster is just plain SICK!
Plus it was also a fun time seeing it with great company, someone who could also relate to references "back in the day" (e:theecarey)
In the end just go and see it. It's dark, yes but at the same time brilliant.

Glad it was a good time. Just wanted to add that there are two other movies about facebook but one of them is on the internet and I think is real. One of the phone companies has some promotion with facebook and someone on there has videos where they go meet people that they don't know but know through facebook. then there is another movie that is a horror/suspense movie where some guy falls in love with someone on facebook and goes to the house, from the previews it looks like an empty house. Now that I know this movie was good I may have to go see it....

Is this the film about the facebook inventor. I saw the trailer when I went to see Inception. Looked interesting
NB: I don't feel impelled to join facebook, regardless.

Why I hate this areaCategory: people
This is how rich white people really are deep down inside.
I seriously bet that if it was a dog on the side of the road in pain 10 people would stop, call 911 or the SPCA. What is scary is that he was a middle aged white guy with money. GOD Forbid if it was a scruffy homeless looking minority dying on the side of the road in Lilly Rich White Lewiston. Notice it was a guy NOT from Lewiston that stopped??? This says a ton about the demographics in this town but I'll keep this post short, it doesn't need further explanation as you can draw your own conclusions.

I never thought of that whole serial killer thing.

I'm not sure what I would have done. Serial killers are almost always white men and have been known to feign emergencies in order to get their victims. I think I might have driven away too. It's hard to say because I wasn't there. Maybe I would have not stopped but call 911 anyways? I hope this doesn't make me seem like a jerk because I really do care about others, I just don't trust them.

F'ing HipstersCategory: hipsters
I have to agree with this guy.
They totally stole Solid Frame Glasses, Zombies, Pirates and Heroin. I really don't care about the aweful haircuts for abviousl reasons.
But I need heroin addicts to be like Layne Staley from Alice in Chains or Renton from Trainspotting. Not some twerp with a shitty superior attitude in skinny jeans, neon socks, solid frame glasses drinking a PBR.
He's on to something I actually prefer to be down south among rednecks than hipsters up North. Their attitude is a bit better IMHO than some pussy hipsters up here on Elmwood.

I am jealous of the sunlight and ocean experience.
