I need EXCITEMENT in my life..... Passion for the EXTREME

So I think I've told just about everyone I know about some of the reckless, exhilarating stuff that I want to do. Up until now I have been keeping my activities pretty tame, but i is time to step it up. Driving fast and riding roller coasters just don't do it for me anymore. Here goes (in no particular order)...

• SKYDIVING


• Own and Ride a motorcycle


• jet ski


• rock climb


• scuba dive


• Become a licenced pilot (so serious i almost considered the air force)


• more things to come (I can't remember everything right now)........

I plan to do all of these things. I just need to find some brave souls who would accompany me on my journey. Or maybe I won't wait for anyone.... Wish me luck :-)

Random Flash Back......

So maybe it's not all that random ( i can't take full credit for the randomness)..... In one of the Notorious B.U.M. videos I posted earlier, he starts singing a song by the 70s rock band, The Eagles called Hotel California. I used to love this song. I've already mentioned how my dad played all kinds of music, and he'd play their music all the time when I was a kid. We would sing all of the words and he would play the air drums as I played the air guitar (Good Times). So, thanks to J. Slash for reminding me about this song, and my dad for putting me on in the first place. I'm about to borrow this CD from my dad and put it in heavy rotation. They're GREAT!!!!!


ENJOY!!!

Just....Wow

I have no words.... Just watch. Notorious B.U.M. aka J Slash



Here he is again... (peep how he gives out other people's numbers as his contact information at the end) Shame.....


Thanx, Purple

THIS JUST IN!!......Amel Larrieux is FRIGGIN GREAT!

From her days with Groove Theory (remember them?) I have been in love with Amel Larrieux. She has one of the most beautiful vocies I've ever heard. I'm a little late, but her latest single is called 'No One Else" and it was featured on the Why did I get Married? soundtrack. I am absolutely in LOVE with this song. It's so simple and her voice is so clear. I've been listening to it on repeat for three hours and counting. Enjoy.....



Remember this one?

Yea, Yea.... More Sci-Fi

So I just randomly remembered this series of books I used to read in junior high called REPLICA. The stories centered around a thirteen year old girl, Amy, who at the age of 13 realizes that she has special abilities. She has super human hearing, sight, strength, speed, and intelligence. These powers seem to come out of nowhere, although as she looks back, she's never been sick, has always been good at sports, and never tires, but gets good grades. Later she discovers that she was genetically created with the best genes from select humans. Her mother, she finds, was one of the scientist working on the project that created her and a host of clones just like her. After it was discovered that the people in charge of the project meant to use the clones for evil, the scientists, including Amy's "mother", burn the lab, distributing the clones throughout the world and go into hiding. Through the series Amy discovers all kinds of things about herself, the other Amys, and the people who mader her, all while trying not to be found out, because if they find her who knows what will happen.

Anyway.... the sereies has about 24 books. Unfortunately I only got up to about numer 18, but while I was reading them I enjoyed every page. Good Stuff.....

Yea, that's all.

I'm A SCI-FI Freak! And Proud of it.....Vol. 2...

Continuing on my science fiction journey I have to stop and acknowledge the movie, The Time Machine... the original (made in 1960). My parents and Aunt used to talk about this movie when I was younger and when I finally saw it I was in awe. I think time travel is extra interesting and it is partly due to this movie. The movie is based of the 1895 novel by H.G. Wells, which made the idea of time travel popular in his time. In the movie a scientist, known only as the time traveler, goes forward in time and witnesses the horrors of war in both 1940 and 1966. He then travels far into the future where the human race had been divided into two new species.


The film is noted for its then-novel use of time lapse photographic effects to show the world around the Time Traveller changing at breakneck speed as he travels through time. Even though we have made advances in special effects far beyond that which are in this movie, you have to appreciate them for what they represented at the time. This is classic sci-fi... you gotta love it :-)

Here's a trailer.

90s Moment....3.0

Remember... Heavy D. & the Boyz? Well I definitely do. They hit the scene in '87 (How old were you then?) and were hot stuff for a while. I remember when Now That We Found Love came out, even though I was only like 5 (in '91). My uncle used to play this all the time and I had to learn it so i could sing it with him. This is one of the first rap songs I learned the words to. I recorded the song off the radio and did the whole learn, rewind, play, repeat thing until I knew all the words. I was a little joe, but so what. I even made up a dance to it back then. Ha!... Good times. So now..... Let's Take it Back...... Enjoy!
