Boardwalk Empire and Walking Dead: Hanging Murders

Maggie is played by Lauren Cohen, the girl who played Bela  on Supernatural.

Walking Dead
The episode started off pretty weak, but then it got pretty good.  I will not lie, the whole debate between Rick and Lori about allowing Carl to live or die was pretty lame.  I almost fell asleep.  Also, the religious discussion between Glenn and Maggie was weak, although I did enjoy the blossoming romance between the two.

Anyways, Shane makes it back with the stuff and he tells everyone that Otis did not makes, that he sacrificed himself for Shane to get away.  Unfortunately, as he shaves his head, he remembers what happened and it was nothing like what he said.

As the two men made their escape and were running out of bullets, Shane shoots Otis in the leg and then takes the pack from him.  Otis tries to fight back and that is why Shane is shaving his head.  Hmm, this is a nice change from the comics.  Otis stuck around for a good bit and died a bit later from something else.  I have a feeling this is their idea of demonizing Shane more, that way things will be justifiable later...

I did like the zombie hanging from the tree.  I also loved that Daryl was not going to kill it since he figured it was a waste of an arrow.  Such an awesome character already.

Boardwalk Empire
Just when things seemed to be going the right way for Nucky, a small wrench gets tossed into the gears.  Turns out that Senator Edge will get his revenge after all.  He decided to listen to the Commodore and Jimmy, and told the Attorney General that he wants him to prosecute Nucky.



Then Jimmy finds out that Herman was working with Nucky.  The big Jewish butcher does not like this very much.  He invites Jimmy over and wants him to kill Herman.  They learn about Nucky's deal with Philadelphia and intercept.  Turns out the muscle is Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lansky.  They cut a deal to work together to bring Nucky and Rothstein down.  Oh man, that shit gets me pretty excited.

Unfortunately, the Lucy storyline was shitty.  She had the baby, but Rose found out and now she is pissed at Nelson.  Ugh, I liked it better when he was murdering his partner.  Go back to that...

Marvin the Martian Pumpkin

I think I will post a picture of my brother's pumpkin every year...well as long as he keeps knocking them out of the park like this one.

That is just incredible...

NFL Week Eight Pick 'Em

Well last week was at least a winner.  I went 7-5 putting me at 48-49 on the season and in 8th place. 

No Carl video today, instead I just want to make an observation about the whole Terrell Owens mistaken suicide thing.  Here is the story. 

People have been making jokes about it and I am sure that at some point I will make a few jokes myself.  I do want to remind people though that depression is not funny and anyone can suffer from it and even hide it from their friends and family. 

With that being said, T.O. should probably just not have a publicist.  Also, why do these women have free access into his home.  Does he not have a butler who refuses entrance to people when he is sleeping?

4,422,517,553

According to an estimation by some science people, I was the 4,422,517,553rd person on the planet back in 1980.  Even better, using some estimation from 50,000 BCE, they figure that I was the 78,994,111,977th person ever born.  

If you want to punch in your birthday and see where you land, here is the website.  Let me know your number.

Wheel of Time Casting: The Foresaken

The major bad guys from the books.  They strike fear into everyone who encounters them.  Unfortunately, since I am not finished with the series, some of them will be tough to cast.  Also, some of the Foresaken use a different look when dealing with people, so that will be for a later post, when I am closer to being finished.

Aginor
One of the first we meet.  He and Rand battle at the Eye of the World for the saidin inside.  Everyone thinks that Rand killed Aginor, but he actually overdosed on the power. 

The thing about Aginor is that he was closest to the Seal when it was closed and unfortunately, he kept aging while most of the others stayed young.  Also, we learned at one point that he is responsible for the Trollocs.  Yes, he used to breed humans and animals, apparently he was a brilliant geneticist when he was an Aes Sedai.

Which actor sounds like he could pull off the role?  How about Christopher Lee?  He is pretty much the definition of the evil, demented old guy for every movie nowadays.

Balthamel
Aginor's little buddy that joins him at the end of the first book.  He suffers the same problem as Aginor, but his tongue is missing.  I think he wears a mask because he was so vain.  I am guessing he must be pretty damn ugly at this point.

He attacked the Green Man and pretty much killed him, but the Green Man fired back and killed Balthamel with some poisonous mushrooms.  That just seems kind of funny to me.  Also, can anyone else think of the Green Man without picturing Charlie from It's Always Sunny? 

In fact, just for the sake of being funny, how about we have Charlie Day play Balthamel?  It would just be a nice twist, the Green Man killing the Green Man.  These things make me laugh.  Plus, Balthamel would probably be a good amount of make-up anyway.

Lanfear
She plays a major part early in the books.  She at first comes to Rand as Selene (as well as to Mat).  At some points she seems to be trying to help Rand.  She ends up helping him bind Asmodean as Rand's teacher.

She was also working with some of the other Foresaken with a plan to try and turn Rand to the dark side.  Unfortunately, her plan never came to fruition because she found out that Rand banged Aviendha.  She attacked Egwene and Aviendha, almost killing them, then Moraine tackled her into a doorway ter'angreal, which took them to the same place Mat visited twice and received his gifts.  At least I think it was same one.  I am guessing they both had been there before and since Mat's little visit, the folks there were probably pissed about people breaking the rules.

Lanfear is described as extremely beautiful (although in her disguise as Selene she must have been super hot).  Something tells me that Angelina Jolie is pretty much the actress that everyone has in mind for Lanfear, and I cannot really argue.

Asmodean
My favorite of the Foresaken, since he ends up being Rand's teacher.  He tries to attack Rand and then gets his ass kicked and Lanfear binds him so that he can use enough of his power to teach Rand the ways of the power.

The best part about him is the fact that he went to the Dark One because he was a musician who wanted immortality to gain greater fame.  Obviously he must be pretty full of himself.  I love the way he would play music while explaining things to Rand and act like it was nothing.  Such a dick.  After awhile though, he kind of grew on me.

I honestly think the perfect actor to play him is none other than the lead singer of Bush:  Gavin Rossdale.  Dark hair, dark eyes...and has that musician thing down.  Perfect.  And I have the perfect dickbag from a show I watch to play him when he is the gleeman Jasin Natael...

Rahvin
This is one of the ones who I do not think used a disguise.  He basically went to Caemlyn as Lord Gaebril, used his power to seduce Queen Morgase and basically control Andor.  Once she broke free of his power, he declared himself king.

Once Rand heard about the queen's death, he went there in a rage and attacked Rahvin.  He killed a bunch of people, including Mat, Aviendha, and Asmodean.  Luckily Rand used balefire, which caused time to be reverted like Rahvin never existed, therefore those three did not die.   Although, someone killed Asmodean moments later, I still do not know who...

Anyways, Rahvin is described as being a very good looking guy.  In fact, he is the male version of Lanfear (I honestly debated using Brad Pitt since it would make sense), but I thought about the guy that every woman I know thinks is sexy:  George Clooney. 

Be'lal
Another one of the guys who pretty much did not take a disguise.  He just became the High Lord Samon of Tear and waited for Rand to show up.  Once Rand pulled the sword, his goal was to kill Rand and take the sword.  Unfortunately, he did not expect Moraine to show up and blast him with balefire.  Oops.

Apparently back in the good ol' days, he, Sammael, and Lews brought back the idea of using swords in battle.  Before that it must have only been a sport.  I am guessing he was a great swordsmen, and therefore must have been in amazing shape.

I have always enjoyed Joseph Fiennes as an actor and I think he has that good voice and look as someone who is ready to get into a sword fight. 

Moghedien
The Foresaken who makes the mistake of going up against Nynaeve and Elayne.  She pretty much causes them a bunch of trouble, but then she is captured by them in the dream world.  What a schmuck.

Her name means some kind of spider and that is how all the other Foresaken describe her.  She apparently likes to hide in the shadows and wait to strike.  There is one actress who constantly came to mind while reading the books.  Helena Bonham Carter.  She has done so many roles where she is pale and dressed in black.  Hell people tend to forget that she is actually kinda hot.

Graendal
Completely hedonistic.  Walks around all the time practically naked, likes to force her servants to pleasure her.  Apparently her skill is manipulating the mind.

She is described as almost as beautiful as Lanfear, with very nice boobs.  I am not going to lie, I could see plenty of girls with giant boobs, but none strike me as much as porn star Riley Steele.  She would have no problem strutting around mostly naked.

Sammael
He and Lews were great friends, they did everything together. He was always the number two to Lews, which after awhile must have grated on his nerves.

After his good pal becomes the leader of the light or something, he has Graendal take him to the Dark One and he swears allegiance.

The thing that I always remember from his description is that he has a square jaw, beard, and striking blue eyes.  He also has a scar that Lews gave him.  I also think they mention that he is a little shorter than Lews, and Rand as well.  This sort of thing just pisses him off. 

I kept seeing people mentioning that Lews should be played by Daniel Craig, but in all honesty, I think he is perfect for Sammael.  Just look at those cold, blue eyes.

Demandred
Sammael may have jumped ship because he was sick of Lews always being number one, but that drove Demandred towards the dark one a year earlier.  He absolutely hates Lews Therin Telamon.  He is always number two, even down to being born a day later.

Honestly, there is not much known so far about him.  I just get the idea that he is always going to be second fiddle.  He called a meeting together and told the other Foresaken that the Dark One commands them to bring about chaos...

I figured since I had James Bond in it, I might as well as use an actor that I really like, yet who once was thought to be the next Bond and even lost the role to Pierce Brosnan.  James Purefoy has that look of someone who would just be insanely jealous.

Ishamael
We learn at some point that the one known as Ba'alzamon ended up being Ishamel.  Rand defeated him thinking him to be the Dark One.  Later he realized this was not the case and it was only Ishamael.

Apparently he is the most powerful of the Foresaken and he was actually the first to go over to the Dark One.  Since Rand did not use balefire, I am guessing he will pop back up at some point. 

I figure since the majority of the time when we see him it is as Ba'alzamon and his eyes are fire and he has that ominous voice, who better to play him than Hugo Weaving.  That guy has such an awesome voice, and be honest, who cannot see him in another movie and not picture him saying "Mr. Anderson!" 

The next two have been mentioned a few times, but neither has played a prominent part in the books.  So I am just going by the descriptions of them I have found at a few sites.  I will not have anything to say about either of them though.  So deal with it.

SOA: Piney is Dead

Well it looks like I was right about last week, Juice did not die.  In fact when he tried again, Chibbs found him and stopped him.  Hopefully they can resolve this, maybe Juice will come clean with him and they go murder the sheriff together.

The rival cartel killed a bunch of Mayans and members of SAMTAZ.  Bobby's vote for president was delayed by gunfire.  Chucky hid a head in the chili, which the cops then ate.  Yeah, pretty much your standard SOA episode.

Actually, Clay gave a great speech at the fundraiser for the Charming Gardens.  He and Oswalt donated the $75,000 needed and he actually sounded like a pretty good guy.  After that he paid a visit to Piney, who would not back down about getting the club out of the drug muling business.  Piney was ready for him and forced Clay to remove both of his guns.  Unfortunately when Clay left, as Piney locked the door, Clay smashed his way back in and grabbed Piney's gun, shooting him in the chest.  He then used Piney's blood to write LS on the picture of the original nine.

RIP Piney!  The club's tequila usage drops 59.3% without ya!

This is the point of no return for Clay.  He could have sent Tig to kill Piney, but he did not.  He did it himself.  I have a feeling that Gemma will suspect that something was a little off.  Also, it is now only a matter of time before Tara tells Jax about the letters and about how Piney confronted Clay (if she knows that).  Tara will make Jax see that it is not a coincidence that she received a death threat and then Piney dies...

The real question is will Jax kill Clay when it comes down to it?  I think there will eventually be a scene where Jax has Clay in a position to kill him and he will say something "I am not going to kill you, because I'm not like you."  As he walks away, Opie will then come in and kill Clay and say something like "this is for my wife and for my father."  See, writing a TV show is easy.  Now I have no clue how they will get out of this cartel mess.

Fantasy Football Week Seven

Kevin's League
I hate when I lose like this.  I lost to Poop Sex 140-113...normally 113 points would be enough to beat anyone, unfortunately for me the Colts decided to just allow the Saints do whatever they wanted.  He had Sproles and Colston, who each had 21 points. 

I had some fairly good performances, but none were better than my kicker Mason Crosby.  Dude put up 17 points for me.  That is pretty impressive.  Also, I need to stop starting Reggie Wayne, the Colts are really bad.

I am a little worried about next week, I have a few players on bye and with Jahvid Best possibly out again, things could be a little rough.  Anyways, I dropped to third place, but the guy I am taking on also has a bunch of byes as well.

Steel City League
Hey now, a win is a nice thing.  I beat dang woodchucks 118.22-98.04.  I did that without a running back, since Frank Gore was on a bye week and I forgot to start DeMarco Murray, who racked up 31.20 points.

Unfortunately, I am still in 10th place with a 3-4 record.  I take on another basement dweller this week, so maybe I can get back to .500. 

A Random October Day

Today was one of those random days where there is not a whole lot to do.  Lindsey and I decided to go for a walk.  We left our apartment and went left, then left again onto Whiskey Spring Lane.  We walked until we reached Turkey Path Lane (these are real streets apparently).

At a certain point, Lindsey started to wonder if I had any clue where we were going.  Obviously I had no idea since I had never been down any of these roads before.  However, I am not mentally challenged.  I had a feeling we had to come out on Rt. 160 (although, I was worried that it could end up being like five miles from New Germany Road).  Eventually I was proven right and we made our way home.  Later we drove the route we took and it turned out to be five miles exactly.  That might not seem like much, but the hills were pretty brutal.  Here are some pictures from our journey.

This is a house we noticed and I really liked, not nearly as much as a few others in the area, but enough to stop and appreciate it.  I should have taken a picture from the side because this one gives you a crappy view.  This house is nice, but there is another one in the area that I would break into and kill the owners and take over their identities save up my money and make an offer on...

These cows were pretty huge.  This one gave me the evil eye after I made a mooing sound.  Not nearly as bad as the other one that stared at Lindsey the entire time we walked past.  It stared at her to the point of almost breaking it's neck.  Lindsey made this comment "maybe he needs to be milked."  Think about her statement for a second.

This house is an oddity to me.  They have a brick wall at the gate of their driveway that says "The Long Family" and it looks like there is a guard station as well.  Unfortunately my phone did not pick up how creepy the house looked up there with the gray clouds and slight rain.  Definitely felt like a scene out of a horror movie.

Anyways, that was our fun little walk.  We also decided to carve our pumpkins tonight.  I have not carved a pumpkin since I was like twelve years old.  We used one of those tracing kits and I think they turned out okay.  I am nowhere near my brother's level yet, but practice makes perfect.  Mine is a pirate and Lindsey's is a ghost.

Well there we have it.  Hope you enjoyed this fun little story.

Boardwalk Empire Scalping

There were so many awesome moments during last night's episode of Boardwalk Empire.  The best part though, is Nucky getting his power back.  Pretty scary for Jimmy and his pals.  Here are some of the great things that happened:

-Eli and Nucky get into a fight.  Eli begs for Nucky's help.  I felt so bad once he started crying, and I thought for sure that Nucky would accept him back into the fold.  Then Nucky pretty much tells him to go screw himself.  They get into a fist-fight and Eli tries to grab his gun, but then Margaret shows up with a shotgun and tells Eli to leave.  Nucky yells at her and says that the next time she points a gun at a person to make sure it is loaded.

-Jimmy pays a visit to his investors and when he mocks the really old, rich guy's chipped beef, the old bastard whacks him in the head with his cane, leaving Jimmy with a nasty cut on his forehead.  These rich guys are not too happy that the Commodore is out of commission and they really do not like the idea of Jimmy running things.

-Richard takes a little side trip out to the forest, where he plans to kill himself.  Then a dog comes and takes his mouth.  He chases after the dog and runs into a few hunters.  He joins their camp, eats some squirrel and gets a lesson on life.  The one guy informs him that this forest is for hunting, for living, not for other things.  He seemed to know what Richard planned.

-Then George shows up at Eli's house (Eli might be a little bit drunk) and decides to berate Eli about the Commodore.  Eli becomes frustrated and grabs a giant wrench and hits George in the throat.  George collapses and Eli then crushes his skull with the wrench.  His deputy shows up and they get rid of the body.  I am not going to lie, when he hit George with the wrench, it was pretty unexpected.

-Richard goes to see Jimmy, to basically ask him a question:  would Jimmy go to war for him.  Jimmy responds that he would be by his side down to the last bullet.  Richard agrees to help Jimmy out.  They pay a visit to the old bastard who hit Jimmy.  The guy brags about being in the Army when they defeated the Sioux and seeing 20 men take down 2000 screaming savages.  Jimmy and Richard grab him and Richard proceeds to scalp the prick.  Jesus...it was pretty gruesome and detailed.

It's a Miracle! For Idiots...

My friend Pam posted this on facebook the other day and I had to make a funny comment (at least it was funny in my head). 



My comment was "is that the guy from Person of Interest?"  I know, I am hilarious...

People are acting like this is a miracle.  It is not.  Trust me.  The guy is a talented artist, and he probably practiced this for months (there are multiple videos of him doing the exact same thing).  Also, if this is miracle, then your god has a sense of humor:

NFL Week Seven Pick 'Em

I only went 6-7 last week and dropped to 41-44 on the season.  I am now in 11th place.  There are a few of these that I am pretty unsure about and I might change before Sunday.

The two biggest conflicts I have are Tampa Bay/Chicago and Detroit/Atlanta.  I seriously keep flipping both of them.

SOA: Is Juice Dead?

Watch the video of Juice hanging himself and tell me what you think...



I do not believe he is dead.  In my opinion, if you listen to the sound as the reaper appears, it sounds like the tree branch breaks and you hear a body hit the ground.  I have a feeling Chibs will find him and start to ask some serious questions.

Wheel of Time Casting: The Ladies

There are plenty of important women that I have noticed so far in the series.  That does not even include the majority of the Aes Sedai.  These are just the women Rand and the rest of the gang have encountered since leaving the Two Rivers.

Elayne Trakand
The daughter-heir of Andor.  She is one of the loves of Rand.  She is pretty much a main character, as she becomes friends with Egwene and Nynaeve, when they all attend the White Tower together to become Aes Sedai.

She and Nynaeve go on plenty of adventures together, where they tend to argue with each other quite a bit.  They get along, but sometimes their different upbringing tends to cause problems. 

Apparently she is very beautiful with blonde hair.  She has to have a presence to be a queen at some point.  I cannot remember if Amber Heard is actually a good actress, but she is definitely hot enough for the role.

Aviendha

The Aiel girl who turns out to have the ability to channel.  She starts out as a Maiden of the Spear, but then is forced to give it up and become a Wise One in training.  She becomes friends with Egwene (who trains with her) and Elayne (who she considers a near-sister).

The Wise Ones force her to stay with Rand and teach him Aiel customs, they also want him to spy on Rand as well.  Half the time Rand is shocked by how forward she can be about some things.  She has no problem getting undressed around him.  He definitely notices how beautiful she is.  At one point they get transported into a blizzard in the Seanchan lands, where they try to stay warm and end up sleeping together.

The popular idea would be someone like ScarJo or Milla, but those two just do not seem right.  Then I found this picture of Rachel Hurd-Wood.  She is perfect, you could definitely play down her beauty at first, but then start to reveal (if you know what I mean) her hotness.

Min Farshaw
This is the girl we meet early on in the series.  She has the ability to see things pertaining to people's future.  She makes fun of Rand early on for being basically a hillbilly.  At first I thought she might have been introduced for one of the other guys (maybe Mat), but now we know that Rand needs three women.

During the course of her adventures she learns how to be flirtatious, and ends up going to Rand, where she pretty much throws herself at him.  She is described as very pretty, especially when she dresses like a girl.  However, most of the time she dresses like a boy and she has short hair.

Honestly, there is only one girl I can think of who should play Min.  Ellen Page definitely has the quirky/cute personality, but when you look at her a certain way you realize she is actually very pretty.  Also, she can pull off the dressing like a guy and the short hair thing very well.

Faile
Zarine Bashere, who takes the name Faile while hunting for the horn, meets up with Perrin, Lan, and Moraine, and basically decides to tag along with them.  She thinks they will lead her to the horn.  Min warned Perrin to watch out for a falcon and it turns out that Faile means falcon.  She flirts with him a good bit and eventually it becomes clear they have feelings for each other.

Later, when Perrin and Faile return to the Two Rivers, she helps Perrin and the people defend the region against the Trollocs.  She marries Perrin, even though she is the daughter of the Marshal-General and the cousin to the queen of Saldaea.

She has dark skin, dark eyes, and a nose that makes her look like a falcon.  At one point, Perrin cannot decide if she is beautiful or not.  This one took a little bit of ingenuity.  I searched foreign actresses and finally found one from India:  Sindhura Gadde.  She fits the bill.

Berelain sur Paendrag Tanreal
The First of Mayene and then later the leader of Cairhien while Rand is attending other business.  It is funny, the first time we really meet her, she is trying to seduce Rand, which does not end well for her.  He uses the One Power to scare the living crap out of her.

Later she tries to seduce Perrin, and this does not sit well with Faile.  They pretty much come to blows over him.  In fact, all the girls in the book are jealous of Berelain.  She is described as incredibly beautiful, light skinned, dark hair, big boobs, and a small waist.  My favorite thing about her though, for some reason the Aiel seem to like her, which is kind of funny.

I think Alison Brie would be absolutely perfect.  Actually, I just want to see her in tight clothes, flaunting her boobs...

Queen Morgase
Elayne's mom and the Queen of Andor.  She is described as beautiful with red hair and beautiful blue eyes.  I am pretty sure Robert Jordan designed the character with Nicole Kidman in mind.

Birgitte Silverbow
One of the Heroes of the Horn.  She was just hanging out in the Dream World when she happened to bump into Elayne and Nynaeve.  She warned them of Moghedien being a danger.  When Moghedien attacked Nynaeve, Birgitte tried to stop her, which actually caused her to be spun out from the Wheel before her time.

Apparently she and her lover always get put out about the same time and eventually find each other.  They are the great love stories everyone remembers.  This time though, she has been spit out too early and she remembers all of her past lives.  She was on the brink of death and Elayne tried something radical:  she bonded her, making Birgitte one of the first (maybe only) female Warders.

I hated Ali Larter's character on Heroes, but there is no denying that she is hot.  Also, she was pretty bad-ass with super-powers.  I can see her being a master with a bow and pretty damn fierce in battle.  And hey, since I am playing Mat, she and I would have fun drinking together.

After the jump you can see the images from seamassketches.

Fantasy Football Week Six

Kevin's League
I beat Chris 112-99.  It was tied at 89 after Sunday's games and I only had the Jets defense and he had Brandon Marshall.  I pretty much had faith that the Jets would score me plenty of points, since they have done it all season.  They did not disappoint by putting up 23.

My best player was Michael Turner, who racked up 25 points as the Falcons beat up on the Panthers.  This victory moved me into second place and I am only three points behind the first place team.  There are four of us who are 4-2.

This week could be tough for me, I have a player on bye (as does he), but my team is only projected for 80 points.  That does not worry me though, since my team is never projected for many points.

Steel City League
I lost 117.22-109.82...blah blah blah.  At least I have Frank Gore.  That is about it.  I am now 2-4 and in 11th place.  Not much to say really.

The Walking Dead Season 2 Premiere

Last night's premiere of The Walking Dead was pretty damn awesome.  The beauty of having the show be different from the comic book is that I at least have no clue what will happen next.  Yes, at some points there are things that I almost identical, but other times they go completely away from the original material.

How tense was the entire herd scene?  Everyone hiding under cars as thousands of zombies shuffle past.  I will not lie, my pulse was racing.  The funny thing is we did not even learn about herds until much later in the comics.  As Rick described early on, there seemed to be two kinds:  roamers and the ones who just stand around.  We learn later that the roamers have tendency to form packs, and as the packs collide, they form herds...which can be pretty damn scary when you think about it.

Most people were probably pretty shocked by the ending, where Carl takes a bullet during a hunting trip.  I vaguely remembered that from the comics, but I was expecting something else to happen during this scene.  Actually, does anyone remember Sophia ever going missing in the comics?

Honestly, Carl and Sophia are two of my favorite characters in the comics.  Mostly because of how Kirkman shows them adapting and coping to the situations they are constantly put in.  Carl is probably turning into a sociopath and Sophia, well she just seems to repress everything about her past.  Her and Carl will probably survive everything and end up ruling the world.

Another cool thing about the show is Merle.  I realize he is a hillbilly, racist prick, but he seems to be the only capable of making smart decisions.  He and Rick gutting the zombie to see what it ate last was pretty nasty.

I could do without the whole Andrea being suicidal thing.  I realize they had to condense a few characters and they are now combining her story with some of another characters, but it just makes her less interesting.

I am guessing we will be seeing the group make it's way to Hershel's farm.  I was just looking at the comics and it blows my mind how quickly they found the secret place they go after the farm (if you have read the comics, you know what I mean).  Will they reach that point this season or will they wait until next season?  Or will the season finale end with Rick stumbling upon the view of what he thinks will be paradise....

Religious Video for Your Help

NFL Week Six Pick 'Em

Last week was not so good for me.  I only went 4-8.  That drops me to 35-37 on the season and puts me in 9th place.  I need to do a better job this week.

Carl finally made a great video this week.  Bought damn time...

Hilarious Video

Oh this just makes me laugh...

100,000

The other day I was driving home from work, when I looked at my odometer and realized that I was about to hit 100,000 miles.  Pretty impressive, also, I still have 16 payments left, which means I will probably be around 125,000-140,000 miles when I finally have it paid off.

Avengers Trailer

After Captain America and Thor (plus the two Iron Man movies), I have been pretty excited for this to come out.  I really hope there is a point where the Hulk loses complete control and the rest of the team has to fight him. 

The first part of The Ultimates was pretty awesome and would have made a great movie.  However, using Loki and I am guessing the Cosmic Cube somehow, also could be an interesting choice.

Fantasy Football Week 5

Kevin's League
I went into last night's MNF game losing 114-106, with only Jahvid Best playing for me.  Luckily the team I was playing against had no one playing, so I felt fairly confident.  Unfortunately, I remembered that Best only got me six points last week.

For most of the game, it seemed like I was destined to lose.  Then all of a sudden, Best broke free and scored a huge TD and was over 100 yards.  I was flipping between that game and the end of Terra Nova and I missed his huge run.  That run sealed the deal for me and I beat Team Milksteak.  I ended up winning 128-114.

Aside from Best, BenJarvus Green-Ellis was my best player.  He put up 26 points and helped me move into third place with a 3-2 record.

Steel City League
Unfortunately, in this league things did not go so well.  I got beat by the first place team (Strike Team) 144.10-111.16.  I am now in tenth place and next week I take on the second best team.  This could be a long season in this league.

The good thing for me is that Gore, Garcon, and Foster all had nice weeks.  The bad thing though, they were the only ones.

Breaking Bad: Face-Off

This is how a season finale should be.  Tension the entire time and then something crazy happens.  And then after the craziness, a complete bomb is dropped.  This finale almost made me have a heart-attack. 

Quick recap of what happens:  Walt hatches a plan to kill Gus.  He uses ol' Tio (the bell-ringer in the wheelchair), he gets Tio to go to the DEA and basically mess with them.  This causes Gus to pay Tio a visit (to murder him) and Walt plants the bomb on Tio's chair and the bell is the detonator.  The look on Tio's face when he hit's the button is pretty awesome.

They show the outside of the room and Gus comes walking out.  At this point, I was irritated that he somehow survived the blast.  As much of an awesome villain as he is, I cannot imagine a way out for Walt and Jesse other than his death (or Walt going to Hank and "admitting" everything).  Then, Gus turns and half his face hi blown up.  He drops dead.  Or you can just watch this GIF over and over.

The police have been holding Jesse because of his ricin comment and then they release him because the poison turned out not to be ricin at all, but instead it was Lily of the Valley, a common New Mexico plant that has poisonous berries that children sometimes eat.

As Jesse leaves, he is grabbed by Gus' men and we see him working at the lab under gunpoint.  Then the lab opens up and it is the other guy, but he is dead and Walt appears from behind and shoots the guy.  Walt and Jesse get to work destroying the lab.

Jesse explains to Walter what the doctors told him about Brock.  Jesse seems conflicted about killing Gus, but he is trying to convince himself.  Then they show Walt's chair by the pool and there is a zoom in of a plant, and you see the tag and it says "Lily of the Valley."  So Walt really did poison Brock.  He crossed a line and has completely went to a new place. 

So where does that leave us for next season?  Well, obviously Hank will not give up on Heisenberg.  I think that he will eventually suspect Walter.  What would Walt do to protect his secret?  Would he murder Hank? 

Where and who will they cook for?  Obviously now that Walter has a taste for the money, he will want to continue cooking meth.  Actually it is not about the money, Walter likes the power, it reminds him of what he gave up as a great chemist.

I only see this ending one way actually:  Walter dying, most likely from cancer. 

PSU vs. Iowa

For my birthday, Adam and Lora decided to take Lindsey and I to the PSU/Iowa game.  Obviously, this will not be about the game, instead it will be about getting drunk.

We headed over at 8:30 a.m., but once we got there, one of our group realized they forgot the tables.  We waited for them to get back and ended up getting parked around 10.  I did not eat much and basically drank all day on an empty stomach.  This will be important later.

There was plenty of drinking and we walked over to some other people's tailgate to play some corn hole (we did not know these people).  Best part, my phrasing to the lady when I first asked "hey, do you mind if we use your corn hole."  Sounds so dirty...

After getting destroyed by Adam and Lora (who had to play against the owners), she and I walked over to the next one and played the ring toss game.  We got beat because the guy who had it was pretty much amazing at it.  We did not do too bad for our first time, but this guy pretty much scored 20 points in one round.

We continued drinking and it was now almost time to head to the game.  For most of the day my stomach did not feel right.  Before we walked to the stadium, something happened that has not happened in a very long time.  I threw up.  I gagged, then I dry-heaved, and then a little puke came up.  I did this four times.   It was never much puke, but just enough to qualify as me vomiting.  So embarrassing!

We made it into the game and I bought a steak sandwich.  After that I felt pretty good.  We made it to our seats, which were actually pretty good.  We were nine rows back in the corner of the end zone.  Unfortunately, I was sitting at the edge of the seat and was pretty uncomfortable.  At half-time we went to piss and get some food (I ate some chicken tenders and fries).

During the second half, I asked the people beside us if they could move down a little so Adam (who now was on the edge) could have a little more room.  The lady got snippy and said that her seats were the ones we were in.  I replied that her children were not really people and did not need full seats.  She did not find that as funny as I did.

Apparently, a bunch of people were supposed to be in different seats.  It should not have been a big deal, but it ended up becoming one.  Luckily Adam calmed the situation down by telling all of us to be quiet about it.

After the game, we went back to my mom's house and I fell asleep for a bit, then sat around with my mom and step-dad and drank some beers, watched football/baseball/hockey (advantage of having a bunch of TVs in the basement). 

It was a pretty awesome time and I was glad to finally be able to show Lindsey what a Penn State game is like.  I only wish we had walked around more so she could see just how many people were actually outside tailgating.

Game Thoughts:
-The fake field goal was pretty awesome, I just wish it would have resulted in a touchdown. 
-I am sick and tired of hearing how much talent Bolden has and yet never seeing him do anything.  I want to see him run it more (I thought he was supposed to be a dual threat QB?) and I want to see him make better passing decisions.
-It was nice to see them establishing some sort of running attack.  Unfortunately, beating Iowa does not really impress me, we need to beat Illinois or Nebraska.

Jedi Jesus

I saw this picture the other day and it made me laugh.  When I did a search for it, I came up with even funnier Jesus/Jedi pictures.  Here are a few of my favorites.
