Rock, Paper, Scissors

This game has been around for ages and I just want to talk a little about how great it is. If there is ever a need for a quick decision to be made (i.e. who gets up to get something, who has the last of something, who is the better person) all of this can easily be decided in a matter of seconds with a quick game, obviously best 2 out of 3. For those of you that are a little slow the best 2 out of 3 term means whoever wins 2 boughts of rock paper scissors out of 3 games.

Ok now to the fun psychological portion of the game. If you want to stomp beginners at rock paper scissors remember this, always through rock first. You might be wondering why, well that is because rock beats scissors and seeing as scissors is the last item of the three said while playing most beginners will through that first. That makes for an easy 1 towards your 2.

The real tricky part is you have to wonder, does my opponent know this fun fact and will they through paper (which undoubtably beats rock) foiling your 1 victory and allowing them the upper hand (pun intended).

After winning or losing the first bought the rest is up to luck, more or less. So when it comes time to tango in the art of hand battle choose wisely and choose quickly because there is no hesitating in rock paper scissors, or second guessing.

I just became witness to this brilliant ad for visiting vegas, and I would like to share it with all you blog hopers out there. Now keep in mind I have been to vegas and I didn't need creative ads to entice me to go there, but I'm glad I now have a new excuse to go spend my money on inappropriate things. Without further ado here is the commercial.

Just brilliant......

What To Say, What To Say

I decided to search on a search engine the term "strangest thing" and focused on the images that came up. I used Google to search and I know what your thinking "Why say you searched on a search engine and not just say I googled strangest thing?" Well the answer to that is simple, if you use a company name to signify an activity or an everyday phrase then it could ruin the company and force them to not be able to use that word as their name. This happened to companies such as Kleenex, when people started saying "I need a kleenex" instead of "I need a tissue", as well as the company Hoover, when people started saying "i have to hoover" instead of saying "I need to vacuum". I know this dropping of knowledge i just bestowed onto your brain makes your mind seem a little exploded. But be calm with the help of people stopping by stopping the term "googled" there might be a chance.

Ok enough of that back to my "strange things" search.

The first to come up was this "strange" creature.

At first I was like "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?" But i have found out what this creature is. It is Blue Dragon, a pelagic sea slug which floats around the ocean on its back (this is a view of its belly) feeding on blue bottles. Very "strange".

Next we have this.

It appears to be some sort of crocheted dog...... yea id say that is "strange".

Next on the items to view was this little treasure.

This crazy feline seems to:

a) Enjoy water.

b) Enjoys swimming with sharks

and c) Both within a bathtub

All extremely "strange things" for a puss puss to partake in.

I guess when Giraffes run they look like they are in slow motion..... "Strange"? I think so.

The final one I will talk about is by far the "strangest thing".

I actually don't think this is "strange" at all. The only thing out of the ordinary here is there are still number tabs left, this is not an everyday thing. Someone wanting to actually get rid of a rubber fist, I mean slightly used? You can probably haggle this person to well under market value, maybe even under manufacturing price. This is a deal people.

We Are All Just PAWNS

I wanted to put a shout out to my friend RyPro and talk about his new clothing line "Pawns". In this tough economic time he decided to rise up again the market and start his own clothing company. It is a lifestyle company that has some pretty sweet graphics as well as fresh ideas. Its just a matter of time before he hits it big and you see all the peeps walking around sporting his wear. As a matter of fact I am wearing one of his shirts as I type. Cheers to you Pro I am behind you in this business excursion all the way, you have my support and my help whenever needed. I hope whoever stumbles upon my blog will take some extra time and check out his company site here is the link and some of his designs to take a gander at.

The shirt i am wearing "Zombie Pauly"

The other shirt I have.

So if you like what you see (which you should unless your dumb) I say go to the sight and tell all your friends. And most importantly purchase some items.

And heres to your Pro (I know your reading this because your the only follower I have).

Koozies

Didn't really know what I wanted to write about today so i decided to go with a topic on a must own item, the koozie.  These bad boys come in all different shapes and sizes in order to fit any beverage you feel like enjoying at the time.  I use these every chance I get.  They not only conceal your drink from the elements it also makes sure that your hand doesn't make any of the contained liquid warmer then it should be.  I know I know they are just little foam or nylon sleeves, but they really aren't.  Koozies truly are a blessing in disguise.  And there are plenty to choose from.

Open container laws?  Block the label with a koozie.  

Don't want your hand to get chilly after reaching in to the cooler for a fresh one?  Keep the temperature where it should be, off your hands, with a koozie.  

Wife/Girlfriend on your case about drinking to much?  Cover it with a koozie.  

At a BBQ and you run out of your own beverage?  Hide the stolen drink with a koozie.  

You would be a fool to go anywhere without one.  I know I don't travel without my can or bottle koozie (because you never know what could be in store).  Believe me its a life saver, gotten me out of a couple of jams in the past.  

So next time your out buying shit that you don't really need, get something you should know you need.  and thats a koozie.

Haven a few?  Cover your brew.  With a fucken KOOZIE!

Thank you and drink responsibly

Grace, Why Not to Have Children

I was recently visiting some friends and we all decided to partake in viewing the movie "Grace".  This was just an out of the blue movie that ended with gaping mouths and white faces.  

For those of you that aren't familiar with premise here is the preview for your viewing pleasure. 

 So here is a little recap for you.  There is a women that is obsessed with getting pregnant, and once she finally is gets into an auto accident and loses the baby.  This however does not stop her from going through with the birth anyway.  After the stillborn baby is brought into this world she is able to will it back to life by letting it suckle on her teet.  So far this might sound like a sensible plot but it gets even deeper, the baby only likes human blood.  Thats right, you read it correctly, human blood.  I guess it all makes sense seeing as it shouldn't be in this world anyway why not have it wanting human amber juice.  

While sitting through this movie there was a lot of owwwwwww's and yelps while some scenes gave the very graphic sights of both bloodied va-jays as well as ripped breasts.  You however do get to see the glorious sight of a normal boob.  However, it is connected to a woman in her late 50's.  

After spending my 85 mins in aw i realized this movie would be good for one thing.  If your girlfriend or wife ever wants to get pregnant or force a child into your lives allow her to sit and see what could happen.  I promise you it will be awhile, if ever, before they bring that subject back up.  Your welcome my brothers.  

Dog Strollers..... Why?

Yes I said it dog strollers.

  

This is a newer item to me that i just don't get.  Dogs, unlike humans can walk almost right off the bat, so why the need to take that privilege away from them.  I understand that maybe dogs are pretty curious and tend to rome, which don't get me wrong can get annoying, but it is part of the experience.  Having this item on the market is only going to produce one thing..... K9 obesity.  Mark my words there will be an insane amount of fatty pups if people start taking away their walking ability.  What will this mean in the long run for man's faithful companion you ask?  Well lets think about it;  

1. No more protecting the family

2. No more teaching them tricks.  They will always be sitting so i guess we will teach them how to stand, but then again what would we reward them with?  I mean giving them treats would just make them fatter.

3. Doggie diabetes will get out of hand as well has a higher cholesterol.  

4. Companion ship would be at an all time low unless you yourself are not active and would just want to sit around.  

5. Dog fights would be very boring. 

6..........

I guess there isn't much more a dog is really good for......

So please help take this off the market.

And while we are at it lets get rid of these dog carriers too.

Movies of Future Interest

I find myself going to apple trailers almost everyday in search of potential movies coming out.  Like most people that watch movies all the time I consider myself a movie buff.  Here are some of the movies coming out that are of interest to me.  

This first movie caught my attention for being purely badass.  The man portrayed in the movie goes by the original name Michael Gordon Peterson who later changes it to Charles Bronson (no relation to the movie star).  Bronson is a crazy mother fucker and was the most feared prisoner at the time.  A must see in my eyes.

The next movie that caught my attention was The Fourth Kind.  Its crazy background story of fallowing true events makes this one of the chilling movies.  Very excited to bring my girlfriend to see it in order to get some scared arm grabs.

I am a fan of Wes Anderson so when this next movie came to my attention i thought it would be entertaining.  It goes along with Anderson's darker subtle humor that was seen is his previous movies but mixes in that it is all stop motion animation.  I am curious to see how it all comes together.

I am a fan of obscure comedies so when i came across this I wondered if it would tickle my fancy.  Only time will tell.  

As I said before I am a fan of stupid obscure comedies so of course i will have to check out the writer director of Napoleon Dynamite  Jared Hess's new movie.

I think i have given you enough movies to look forward to for now my little birds.  But don't worry I will feed you more later on.

and happy 9/9/09 to everyone.

High Hopes

Hello there.  For this next talking session I wanted to bring to peoples attention the underground movie entitled "The Room".  This movie came out in 2003 and was written, directed and starred in by a man named Tommy Wiseau.  He made this movie without any studio support and spent a whopping $6 million in production fees (couldn't tell from the looks of it however).  

The story line follows a love triangle between Johnny (Tommy Wiseau), Lisa (Juliette Danielle) and Mark (Greg Sestero), all of which have yet to really make a name for themselves.  But with the help of the room cult following might really become household names...... never going to happen.  

The key to this movie's greatness is that it appeared to originally be marketed as a drama/romance but as the filming progressed and the final outcome appeared so terrible it then was placed in the dark comedy category.  By the looks of the trailer and miscellaneous clips online it seems to be the proper move.  The Room's horrendous acting accompanied with its crazy lines truly brings a tear to your eye and a smile to your face.

I have yet to witness this film first hand, due to its short amount of time within the theaters because of bad reviews, but I am planning on attending one of its many midnight showings in the city of Boston.  

The Room might be ranked as one of the worst movies of all time but I am looking forward to ranking as one of the best in my heart.

Here is the links to the full trailer as well as some of the clips previously mentioned.  I hope you find this as enlightening as I have.

That should be enough to entice you to see the movie, I don't want to give it all away.  

Welcoming Myself

After a long awaited amount of time I have finally decided to take the plunge into blogging.  I have been weighing the pros and cons and there were plenty of both but I thought "to hell with it" and chose to allow some of my thoughts/feelings about who the hell knows as of now to go public.  

Since i have never really had any rhyme or reason to my thought process i have decided to name the the blog "Spiratics" signifying the reason why my blog probably wont flow or make much sense to where the thoughts are coming from and why they are coming at all.  

I tend to ramble and I have a feeling my literary offspring will ramble as well.

Well since i don't have anything in mind on what to start off with I guess i will share this video i came across of an old Hungarian song entitles "Gloomy Sunday".  This piece was composed in 1933 by a man named Rezso Seress.  The song is about an untimely death of a lover.  The reason I found this song interesting was the fact it is accompanied by an urban legend.  The legend is that it has inspired hundreds of suicides.  As it just so happens the composer himself even committed suicide by jumping out of his apartment in 1968.  Since this song is said to cause people to take their own lives it is now given the name "Hungarian Suicide Song".  

I'm not really sure how i stumbled upon this but I found it very interesting, here is the a rendition of the song in English to better understand the song.  decide for yourself if the legend is true and enjoy...... at your own risk.
