Why, Jennifer Holliday? Why?

2012-05-24T09:54:00.000-05:00

Last night on American Idol, we watched Jessica Sanchez perform with Jennifer Holliday. The song? Well, since I mentioned Jennifer Holliday, then you know that there could be only one song that could be sung. It's the same song, but a half-step lower, that she has been singing for her entire career: And I am telling You etc. FREE Here are a few several thoughts that I had while watching

Twitter Trending Topic: The Pound # Sign

2012-05-23T17:34:00.002-05:00

When I ask someone "Do you have a Twitter?" and they respond with "I have Facebook and that's good enough" or "I have facebook, I don't need Twitter" or "Twitter serves no purpose, why would you want to sit around all day and just tell random strangers what you are doing." I say "you poor, poor unfortunate soul...." shake my head and walk away. No, not really. I go into this long and

New Whitney Houston: His Eye is on the Sparrow

2012-05-23T10:25:00.001-05:00

From the upcoming movie "Sparkle" starring Jordin Sparks and Whitney Houston. There's not much to say here folks. Just listen and enjoy. I will say this: Whatever church they attend in the movie, it's not a United Methodist Church, because they don't be playing like that. They're probably Baptist or COGIC... <p>&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; &amp;lt

Awesome Stuff of which You've Never Given Thought!

2012-05-23T00:02:00.000-05:00

<p>&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;</p> If you've ever watched NBC, then you're certainly familiar with the three note motif that has been with the broadcasting company since the 1970s. And from those simple NBC Chimes came almost every theme that you hear nowadays on NBC's news and advertisements; the least known of which is not excerpts from John Williams's "The Mission." Composed

Square Enix Still Not Remaking Final Fantasy VII

2012-05-22T09:16:00.003-05:00

This story broke on IGN the other day. Sad news for Final Fantasy VII fans because Square Enix has stated that new Final Fantasy titles “take precedence” over a remake of the much-loved classic. In an interview in Japanese magazine Famitsu (translated by Gemsatsu) Character Designer Tetsuya Nomura said, “There are a lot of people who want a remake of Final Fantasy VII. However, new titles

Pharrell Williams: i am OTHER

2012-05-21T10:57:00.001-05:00

A place where you can be yourself A place that celebrates individuality A place where people who want to be appreciated for their differences This is how Pharrell Williams described his latest endeavor "i am OTHER." But perhaps iaO [as I will refer to it from henceforth] is just a little *too "Other." I say that because I don't rightly know what this "Other" is yet. Williams took to the

Last to Know: Raven Symone is Gay!?

2012-05-20T23:30:00.000-05:00

Go ahead then Raven Symone! Honestly, I never did follow her or her career, but when I read the story over at The Urban Daily, I couldn't help but smile and congratulate her on speaking her mind on the subject. You see, apparently the National Enquirer (Those people find information like twinks find Express sales) released some news about Ms. Symone and her PERSONAL life. And while she

Diablo III Backstory

2012-05-10T10:46:00.000-05:00

So, apparently, this short animated film here is supposed to give people like me [a guy who has never played a Diablo game] a brief history of the series so that a guy like me [someone who has never played a Diablo game] can jump right in and enjoy Blizzard Entertainment's latest installment of the dark fantasy action RPG called [you guessed it] Diablo III. I've gotta say, it's pretty

Getting Over It: Just Let Him Live

2012-04-16T13:49:00.000-05:00

For those of you who know me [especially those of you who have followed me on Twitter for the past year], you will know that I have recently gone through something *like* a breakup. I say "*like* a breakup" because to this day I honestly don't understand what exactly was going on in the situation, only that I was feeling good, and I know he was too, but that's beside the point. It has literally

New Ground by Tradition: Final Fantasy

2012-04-12T11:43:00.000-05:00

I was chatting with an acquaintance the other day via Twitter about the traditions that Nintendo has carried on with regards to the music in the Zelda series. It had occurred to me [I'm rather late] that the music that plays when Link pulls the Master Sword from its stone in The Ocarina of Time is the exact same music that plays in the 1991 release The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past [the

Mass Effect 3: First Impressions, Gay Kaidan

2012-03-07T02:34:00.000-06:00

Let's get down to business: I want Kaidan Alenko! Ok, now that I've got that off my chest, let me start by saying that I completely stopped playing FFXIII-2 and will not be picking it up any time in the near or distant future. I actually sent the game off across the country to a friend of mine who said he was going to buy it. I told him not to worry about it and FedEx'ed it to him so that

Whitney Houston's Funeral Program [Download]

2012-02-18T22:29:00.000-06:00

Whitney Elizabeth Houston ~August 9, 1963 - February 11, 2012~ This is a scan of the actual funeral program/ obituary used in the Funeral of Whitney Houston. There have been other obituaries/Funeral programs circulating the Internet. Those are not accurate. This is. Additionally, I have seen that there are bids on ebay.com for funeral programs as high as six-thousand dollars. Whitney was

FFXIII 2: Initial Thoughts and Comparisons

2012-02-03T01:43:00.000-06:00

Yesterday I picked up the mildly anticipated Final Fantasy XIII 2. I have to say, I haven't been this unexcited about a major Final Fantasy release, ever. It's not because I'm getting old, and it's not because I'm losing interest in the genre or the Final Fantasy franchise. But dammit... It just seems like ever since Final Fantasy X 2, the games have been going to hell. I always

2 Guys 1 Bassoon (and a piano)

2012-01-05T13:31:00.000-06:00

Music has played a vital role in my development. It is to me what high school football was to so many other "normal" people. And though I didn't have a music program in high school, I did have the passion to learn. So, when I entered college I taught myself the basics of theory and how to read. As you probably know, some of my favorite music is that of video games, including, but not limited

Smithsonian: The Art of Video Games

2011-12-23T13:02:00.001-06:00

Mass Effect 2 is among the list of games to be featured because of its stunning visuals It's good to see that the video gaming industry is gaining more and more of the respect that it deserves. This year alone saw an epic stride with the Supreme Court's ruling that video games deserve the same first amendment protections as television, movies, and other forms of art. Now, the

Movie Trailers Galore!

What a month this has been for movies, eh? I definitely can't wait to see all three of these little gems for 2012 Prometheus The Dark Knight Rises And, of course, The Hobbit!

Must See: The Iron Lady

2011-12-18T00:31:00.000-06:00

So, I've just taken [as in about 1 hour prior to this posting] a great interest in watching youtube videos of British Parliament. Those folks are just too crunk for me! One person, in particular, who has many many youtube videos up is a woman named Margaret Thatcher. This bitch in blue is a mess! She snatches wigs left and right! So imagine my surprise when I saw the folks over at Studio

In this podcast you get to hear me talk about a whole bunch of stuff including, but not limited to: Happenings in my life - What's new, what's happening, what I plan...

Skyrim Theme... for Pirates?

2011-12-12T02:22:00.001-06:00

I was chatting with a pal of mine and my latest quest in Skyrim came up [I'm currently breaking from the main story line to learn magic at the Mage college of Winterhold]. Since we were chatting about music, I asked if he had heard the Skyrim theme, to which he responded "no." So I started sing/humming the theme, when he stopped me and said "I don't think that's it... you're humming the Pirates

Final Fantasy XIII-2 OST Samples Released

2011-12-09T01:48:00.000-06:00

Just because the series as a whole is going down the drain doesn't mean that I can't enjoy the music from the forthcoming release of Square-Enix's second bastardization of Final Fantasy tradition! Thanks to my pal DonK for letting me know that the fourth and final disc samples were up! I must say, this OST is shaping up to be more than I expected [but that's not saying much at all, trust me

Singing For Old People

2011-12-09T00:58:00.001-06:00

As you may or may not know, not only do I work for a huge shipping company, I also work for a small church for old people as their senior citizen baby sitter choir director. I do a lot more than simply direct the choir, though. I manage the budget for the music department, I plan [with the "help" of the reverend] all musical aspects of the worship service, I rehearse both the adult choir

I've finally freakin' made it to the B rank!!! You'll be hearing about this in my next podcast by golly! I'm so happy happy happy! Now... they had better NOT strip me of my rank if my sorry ass Comcast internet connection starts to act a damned fool again. It was by the grace of the great lord that I was able to sustain such a good connection that I might win enough battles to pull my Chun

Skyrim Entry Number One

2011-12-04T01:04:00.001-06:00

I done messed around and bought Skyrim under the agreement that RandomJ would also buy it instead of going to his local retailer and staring at the box for a quarter of an hour at a time. The Gamestop man had me hyped as I swiped my BoA card. "You'll invest a lot of time into this game... over 200 hours easily." I can't even begin to imagine playing a game for more than 200 hours. I
