Sequels

This guy thought a sequel to Taken was a bad idea...
Liam Neeson disagreed.

So I'm surfing the web at work (which I'm not suppose to be doing) and I come across the trailer for Taken 2. I instantly start laughing (in my head because I am at work and I don't want the people around me to think I am crazy) and I think to myself what in the world inspired this unnecessary sequel? This made me wonder what other movies may possibly receive sequels even though they shouldn't, and what the names of these sequels could be. Here are some movies that I have come up with:

Inception 2: Dreams Come True
Armageddon 2: We Missed a Spot
Titanic 2: Jack Strikes Back
Dennis the Menace 2: Mr Wilson's Funeral Hi jinks
E.T. Returns
Ferris Bueller's Day Off His Rocker
Battleship 2: Sink this!
Social Network 2: Controlling the Masses
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button vs Forrest Gump
Forrest Gump 2: Search for Jenaaaay
King Kong Vs Godzilla
The Nightmare Before Valentine's Day
Phone Booth 2: Should Have Bought a Cell-Phone
Slum Dog American Idol
Wild Wild West 2: Wicka Wild Wild.
Man on a Ledge on a Hedge
Apocalypse Now 2: Maybe Later
27 Dresses 2: 27 Tuxedos
Roots 2: Trunks
Hotel Bermuda
Silence of the Lambs 2: Verbal Assault
Like Mike: Jackson's Magic Glove

Got any other ideas? Let me know in the comments!

Hiatus, Kim Kardashian, and more...

Good morning,

I am writing you all today concerning a very deep personal matter; my blogs.
My blogs have been neglected. You may as well call me Mr. Neglectablogger. Why? Because I said so. Anyway, I just didn't really feel like writing. I believe something happened and I was super busy and then was embarrassed that I hadn't written in a couple days. I didn't want to write since I knew I would have to write a paragraph explaining why I hadn't written. That led to more embarrassment with each passing day, and that led to further dread of writing this paragraph. Well, now it's written and it's out of the way. Since I'm back, I want to rant to you.

Here it goes:
What's with Kim Kardashian? I mean, first of all, there's the obvious question, why does everyone... No wait, let me rephrase that - why does ANYONE care who she is or what she's doing. Why? Do you have an answer? If you do, please keep it to yourself. Why? Because nobody cares to hear your answer! Nobody cares about Kim Kardashian. I don't know any person with a life that cares what some randomly selected bimbo is doing with hers.

Now that I've dug myself into a hole, I'd like to explain why I'm bringing her up. Here's the reason in one word. Adultery. Yep, I said it. The "a" word. I really don't want to get into the whole sexism thing because it's not about that, but why is it that anytime any famous person (Bill Clinton) sleeps with someone other than their marriage mate (Arnold Schwarzenneger) it's all over the news and they're suddenly a "bad" person (Mel Gibson. I didn't bring him up because of adultery but because he's a bad person). Why? I'll tell you why. Because it's wrong! How would you feel if your significant other did that? You'd feel hurt, betrayed, sad, vulnerable, dirty, cheap, you name it! That's why they're labeled as a "bad" person. So please tell me why it's okay that Kim Kardashian (married) is allowed to sleep with someone other than her husband? There are a lot of reasons why it's acceptable in our society and I'm not going to put myself in hot water by naming all of them but the main reason is this: our moral compass needs calibration. We have made unimportant things (liberation, freedom, vengeance, money, self pity, etc.) our top priorities, and have taken important things (morality, happiness, family, self respect, honor, dignity) and locked them up in the attic.

I'm just disgusted at how many people are applauding her for finding someone else. They seem to think he's better than the last guy for some reason. I'd like to remind everyone of something. Here it is:

Need I say more? No. I need not, but let me say one more thing to help you understand my point. SINCE WHEN DO WE LIKE KANYE WEST????? SINCE WHEN DO WE LIKE KIM KARDASHIAN?????

WHAT?!

IS?!

HAPPENING?!?!?!?!

6 Gaming Devices that Have Made us Look Stupid

The Nintendo is expected to release a new game system named the Wii U later this year with a far from traditional controller. This being the case, I figured now would be a good time to review some awkward gaming devices and counsels, both past and present, that have made us look pretty stupid.

Life Story #2: The Sinister Sister

My name is Anthony, and I am a chronic flincher. I'll explain what this means for those of you who are unaware of this term . A "flincher" is someone who gives into the natural impulse to defend himself when a perceived threat to their safety occurs. For example if you've ever had someone pretend to throw something at you and your reaction was either to 1.) Freak out 2.) Block the imaginary object or 3.) Commando roll out of the way, then you too are a flincher.

As I mentioned earlier flinching is really just a natural reaction to a perceived danger. If people didn't flinch or react to oncoming dangers (real or imagined) than the possibility of getting hit in the face by real stuff would happen a lot more often. However, despite that, it is considered a sign of weakness if you flinch, which I do. So I bring this subject up because its not my fault that I flinch and I want to defend myself and all others who can relate to this true life story entitled...

The Sinister Sister (pt.1) *

The bedroom mirror instantly cracks from top to bottom as the full force of my body meets up with the glass. Sitting in the spot where the impact occurred is me; dazed, afraid and confused by what has just occurred. Following the sound of the mirror breaking is utter silence. My attacker and I remain absolutely still in hopes of not drawing any further attention to ourselves and this terrible turn of events. Sadly this brief silence is broken by the sound of a grown man's voice yelling out, "What's going on up there?!"

It is evident, without a word being spoken between us, that both my attacker and myself are trying to think of a good way to answer his question. Instead of quickly responding however, we just continue sitting motionless for what seems like forever until we muster up the courage to tell a bold face lie. "Nothing!" is our response, as if the broken mirror, which will undoubtedly be discovered, will somehow collaborate with our answer by fixing itself. Our response is apparently not good enough as our parents begin marching up the stairs. My parents slowly begin opening my attacker's bedroom door. As they look inside the room the first thing my parents see is my attacker/sister on the bed, me on the floor and behind me a shattered mirror. Our parents, extremely upset at this moment, demanded to know what happened. Saying "nothing" would no longer suffice so we told them everything. This is what happened.

Have you ever had a friend or a sibling that got that look in their eye (see picture on the right). You know, that look like they are plotting to do something really stupid that is going to involve you being in some form of discomfort or pain. This look is usually followed by them pulling a chair from underneath you as you are about to sit down. Or them aggressively chucking some random object at you for seemingly no reason. Well I didn't see this look in my sister's eyes prior to the events that led up to us breaking the mirror. She was able to mask the look that would have indicated to me that she was about to try to seriously hurt me for no reason. What started as an enjoyable moment consisting of my sister and I jumping on her bed like a trampoline, ended with her waiting till I was in mid air to push me off the bed into her mirror.

To this day I have no idea what was going through her mind when she pushed me. In fact this was just one of many times when she attacked me for no discernible reason and without warning. I am not sure if she was trying to kill me or she just wanted to let off some steam, but here is the point. The reason I flinch is because I had an older sister who pushed me off a bed into a mirror at not just the peak of my jump, but at the peak of my having fun. So now, no matter what situation I am in, I am easily susceptible to flinching whether the threat is real or not. This is because I have learned adversely through my forced flying back stroke into a mirror that we are never safe. So for you people out their who make fun of us flinchers and act all tough in the face of danger remember this story of the sinister sister. We flinchers are just cautious and prepared for anything and everything unlike yourselves.

*This story is accurate but somewhat exaggerated for story telling purposes. The sinister sister is actually a very nice person now. No awesome people, like myself, were hurt in the telling of the events of this story.

The Avengers, why it was so good. (Overview)

Everybody has seen "The Avengers". Literally (well, not literally) everybody, and they are all ranting about how great it was.

Cotto vs. Mayweather

The Floyd Mayweather vs. Cotto fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada is set to break some records. Ok, I'm not into boxing, but this is insane. Floyd Mayweather is guaranteed to break the record that any boxer in the history of the sport has made during one fight. He is guaranteed a minimum of $32 million! That's crazy? How can someone make that much money in one day? Not only is that a record for most money made during one match, it's got to be some kind of record for most money made during such a short period of time (of course, we don't know how long the fight will actually last). Continue on past the break for more...

Ann Romney's Shirt, $1,000? WHY?

Ann Romney's $1k Shirt

Why did Anny Romney wear a $1000.00 shirt?

First of all, I'd like to say that I am neutral from a political standpoint, and that the only reason I'm commenting on this is that Mrs. Romney is in the spotlight. Ok, now that I've got that off my chest, I must say, I am extremely disappointed in Mrs. Romney for two reasons:

Life Story #1: Almost Dead Thanks to Fred

For those of you who doubt the possibility of miracles happening, you've obviously forgotten your own childhood. The fact that kids even survive into adulthood is a miracle in itself. I mean, unless you were a nerdy kid who sat in a chair reading books all day with no desire to ever do anything remotely cool, then you should understand the point I am making here. If you were anything like me your childhood consisted of scars, scrapes, sprains and so on. These were usually the end results of climbing trees, jumping off stuff that was not meant to be jumped off, not paying attention to your surroundings, or having stupid friends. My goal for these next few blogs is to demonstrate, by using my own life experiences, how truly fortunate we all are to have survived being a kid.

Almost Dead Thanks to Fred...
