Friday the 13th (2009) The Music

I finally got the chance to watch Friday the 13th (2009) tonight. This post will not be a review of the movie, as there's been tons of reviews done by people that are better writers than me. I will say one thing, though, before getting to the meat of my post. I loved it! The nudity quotient was quite high compared to some of the other recent horror remakes, and gratuitous nudity is a horror flick is always a good thing.

So now onto the point of this blog post. This is more a list for my purposes, but perhaps some of you will find something useful herein. Without further ado, here come the music credits from the movie.

Sister Christian-Night Ranger
Freak Ya Loneliness-Bumblebeez

A Confession

Those of you who know me personally will already know this about me, but I decided to write it down anyway.

I'm not always happy. Just like everyone else on the planet, I have my good days and bad days. Thankfully the good outweighs the bad most of the time.

Keeping a positive attitude takes a lot of work, but it's well worth it. Try to stay positive as much as you can. Not only is a positive attitude good for you, it's also contagious.

Hope is Never a Bad Thing

As we all look on at the beginning of a new administration in the White House, I'm feeling more hopeful than I've felt in a long time. Barack Hussein Obama was sworn in to the office of President of the United States of America on January 20, 2009.

We all have a choice to make now. We can either look forward with hope or fear. I've lived with fear for long enough, so I choose to look to the future with hopeful eyes.

It's time to put away the pettiness and get down to the business of America. May we start to build a better future for our children.

Hope is never a bad thing.

My Youngest Son is a Chauvinist

Yesterday, my daughter came home from school with a home-made "Doctor Hat". When she told her brother what it was, he responded with "Don't you mean a Nurse hat?" I looked at him with surprise. Where did my son learn that from? We certainly didn't teach him that girls can only be nurses, did we? Rather than sit there and let him believe that, though, my wife and I explained that girls can be doctors and boys can be nurses too, if they want to be. He seemed to be satisfied with our explanation.

Trailer for GTA IV DLC

I've been playing a lot of GTA IV lately trying to finish the storyline and achieve 100% completion, so I'm pretty stoked that they released the trailer for the First DLC episode the other day.

For those of you that aren't GTA fans, or simply if you live under a rock, here's the trailer:


From GTA4.net:

The title of the content is going to be called "Lost and Damned". You will take on the role of Johnny Klebitz, a member of Liberty City biker gang The Lost. This is what Dan Houser had to say on the new DLC for the Xbox 360 :-

"Johnny is a very different character than Niko, with a very different background," says Dan Houser, vice president of creative development for Rockstar Games. "I can't go into too much detail on the story, because we try not to give away too much plot before the game is released. But I can say that the story will show you a different side of Liberty City."

The content is due to hit the XBL marketplace on 17th February 2009. You will naturally need the original GTA 4 and you will also need an xbox live membership (although no word on whether you just need silver membership). The pricing of this new content has not yet been released.

I can't wait until February 17th.

Global Warming My A$$

Yesterday, on what was the coldest day of the season so far, the heater in the house started acting wonky and not putting out as much heat as it should. This morning, Mrs. Bill called the gas company to have them come out and take a look at the heater to make sure we weren't going to go up in a big giant fireball, and they found that the burner had a very large amount of rust on it and in the jets, so they turned off the heater and told us to get ahold of a repair man ASAP.

Mrs. Bill called the landlord this morning and spoke to his wife about the situation, and we got a repair man out here with a quickness. "Handy Manny" cleaned out all the rust and soot out of the burner, and got things fired back up. Before the repair guy got here, it was 9º F outside and 50º F inside. Awfully hard to type with numb fingers. Right now, though, the temperature inside the house has risen to a balmy 52º F and the feeling is beginning to come back in my fingers.

Where's that global warming when you really need it?

Dry Spell

Man, I hate these. I seem to have hit yet another dry spell concerning blog posting and Incredimail letter creating.

Every few months I hit this roadblock where I just feel like I have nothing to offer to the readers of my blog and the subscribers to my Incredimail related e-mail groups.

I don't know if it's my occasional depression sneaking up on me again, or if this is just something normal that everyone goes through every couple months.

It could also be that I've used up all my energies to try to battle all my illnesses (mostly just a cold, bronchitis or a slight case of the flu) that I keep getting during the transitioning of the seasons. Hopefully that's it. I'd hate to sink into a depression again right near the holidays.

That's it from me for now, hopefully I'll have something more interesting for you to read in the coming week.

Namaste,
Mr. Bill

Video of The Day #2

I subscribe to the Guinness Book of World Records You Tube Channel, and came across (no pun intended) this recent world record attempt.

Birthday!

I always get grumpy at the end of the day of my Birthday. As I get closer and closer to the age of 40, the grumpiness begins earlier in the day.

However, I do thank all of you out there in the internets that took the time today to wish me a Happy Birthday! I really appreciate it.

We're All Sickos

Congratulations bronchitis! You've brought my entire household to a standstill.

We're all laying around coughing and wheezing. We all sound and feel like zombies.

I hate the change of seasons in Kansas. It's that special time of year when the leaves change color and all of us here at the house succumb to various degrees of various illnesses. Some of us do nothing but sleep while we're sick, and some of us can't sleep at all. Some of us can only sleep in small increments. It's like we've all turned into grumpy toddlers. We're all whiny, needy children stuck inside and getting on each others nerves.
