Hello Children Of The '80s!

This is a quick one.

I loved He-Man, when I was a child. Now, I realize how retarded it was. So, this is a combination of the two (2) most retarded things ever created.

@Quill: I found something that incorporated the fucking Douche-Cats, but I wouldn't give you the satisfaction, you fucker.



Nix says: I find it amusing. But what the hell is up with the fucking guy stirring the pot? I don't remember that shit.

We Should Do This Everyday!

That's my new catch-phrase. I say it everytime we have to do something that sucks. Like today. We had to drive to Dallas and drop of shit for a bridal show. I love Texas traffic.

Sales still suck, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Anyway, I've got a new update sent to www.tombofanubis.com and it should be up Sunday. It's basically just my quick recap of all the movies I saw last year. Fuck, I had to go through over 400 and I STILL missed some.

This video down there is fucking hilarious. Some guys totally rip on David Blaine. Enjoy.



Nix says: Seriously, every day, we should do this.

Wizard Of Speed And Time

I first saw this short in film school. It was quite amazing and inspiring, as well. This is a variation on stop-motion, where you have an actual person instead of a model. This one came out in '79, but in, I believe, '83 he took this and made a feature film about a little guy trying to make it in Hollywood and re-made the short with more money and effects, but...DAMN! This fucker is talented and it's too bad he never got more work in Hollywood. (btw, youtube is all fucked, right now, so try it again tomorrow, if it doesn't work)



Here's the clip of the re-done one. I think the stand-out scene is him running through the sprinkler. But both are amazing.




In other news, I'm in Texas. Struck out on my first show. Blah.

Oh! @Hizz: While I was in Springfield, there was some dudes all done up like KISS and they looked killer.

@Quill: Actually, this band called Black Dahlia sounds like something you might like. Look 'em up.

Nix says: I got nothing. Blah.

I'm Gonna Be Positive

Yes, being away from Jess and being away from the 'Lou had stressed me out. I'm not used to being home for months. And I'm especially not used to being away from someone that loves me. When I started this job, I was hoping that I could revive a relationship that I thought could be fixed and made better, however, there was no relationship to be had. I was a fuck-toy that made someone happy, and that was all.

I'm bitter and resentful about that, but I realize this:

WITHOUT THAT SHIT, I WOULDN'T BE WHERE I AM AND WITH SOMEONE I LOVE.

I'm glad I stayed true to myself and my stupid rules. I'm glad I came back to the U.S. for her and got fucking screwed over. (not literally, dammit)

If none of this had happened, I never would have found this job, friends and my mate.

I don't know how many times I can say it and I don't care if I say it too many times. Jess is the perfect companion and she makes me so happy I could bleed happiness, if that was possible.

I've had offers of just non-commital sex and said "No". Sure, I'd like that, but I want to build something with someone I love and know I love.

I'm committed to someone I think is worth my love and I'm going to do everything I can to make her happy.

@Jess: Baby, you still drive me crazy. Nothing's going to change me.

Enough about me. What about when you get old and need help?? What do you do?



Nix says: Shit! My hip gives out and I'm not that fucking old!

Poop

Ok, I'm getting used to being back on the road. I feel much better, today. And I'm not being HAL from that one movie that that one guy made. You know, the one with the guy and the words and monkeys and shit?

Anyway, I know I've been a YouTube whore, lately. I'm sorry. But when I'm on the road, I get to use my wireless. When I'm home, I'm stuck with dial-up, because I'm never there and I'm not paying for service I won't use. Plus, if I end up in a shitty hotel (which doesn't happen TOO often) I have dial-up to fall back on.

Another anyway, I've been looking at Evil Dead vids and found a few that were cool. I think there was one to Static-X that was well made and one to Flagpole Sitta, which was funny. But the one that really impressed me the most is from a group called Monkey Farm Frankenstein. It's fucking amazing. And I love their name. They're obviously horror fans, as it makes reference to Day of the Dead, my favorite Romero flick. You SHOULD be able to check out their music on the myspace page. I was having trouble, but it's fucking awesome and I'm buying their shit.

Here's the scoop, straight from the fuckers: "If you like this, check out Monkey Farm Frankenstein's debut album on Some Bizzare Records, available at www.hmv.co.uk - search for MFF.

The MFF vs The Evil Dead is composed of over 200 audio and video samples taken from the following films: The Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, and Army of Darkness. NO OTHER ELEMENTS WERE USED"

That's important to remember. Now, watch and be impressed. Stick with it, at least for the "bastards" part, it's fucking awesome.



And, I've been watching this. Bruce is now shilling for..well, just watch and listen and try to figure out what the fuck he's talking about before it's over. It's not the product, you fools.



Nix says: Miss you, baby.

Can't Stop It

Ok, I've been real emotional and I know it's stupid, but I miss being home, with my fucking beautiful and awesome girl. I know. I know.

I've broken down a few times and cried so hard that it hurt. Even Jeff had to ask me what was going on. It's stupid. I've been trying to let her get ready for this shit and I can't even deal with it. I suck.

This vid is just for her (wanna play this and make love, baby? hehehehe):



Nix says: I love you, baby.

Everything Old Is New, Again

I'm upset that I can't find the full scene, but this is going to have to do.

Just those lines: "Dreams can come true, again." and "I might fall in love with you, again" mean so much to me. God, I'm gonna get so emotional, right now. I can't see doing anything other than selling pots and I can't see me being happy whithout Jess. I'm gonna shut my ass up, now, because it's getting intense.

So, here's what I could get.



Nix says: I love you, baby. I miss you. I'm so glad you stalked me.

Worst Trip, Ever

And I haven't even started shows. Packing was the most horrible thing I've ever had to do. I didn't want to leave my baby. Shit. I fucking cried, at one point. I suck.

Anyway, I found these videos from oHgr of Skinny Puppy fame. This first one is pretty goddamn funny, as it makes fun of Trent and Eminem. Amazing stop-motion and a great song.




And I put this one up for Quill. A great song, but the vid is very much for the Quill. Again, amazing animation and a killer song, but it's so much more than eye-candy, just like the other one.



Nix says: Fuck Illinois. They have a town called Illiopolis. WTF is that?

Shit!

It's a new year and I haven't commented on the old fucking year. Goddammity-dammit!

Hmmm...Let's see... Well, I found out that salespeople aren't all assholes, because I am one, now. I won the Oscar(c) for rookie. Oh, that reminds me. Here are my final numbers: 579,336.40
Somebody else: 578,389.60 (That explains all of the staring and looking unhappy.)
And somebody else: 543,686.50 (That explains nothing, but is fucking sweet.)

I've made new friends with old friends (it makes sense in my head, fuckers!) and had major changes in my life. I guess the song "Everything Old Is New Again" makes sense.

I'd (not) like to address one major event of the past year. I spent some time with a wonderful girl and her beautiful kids and I was very happy. If only things had been different. If life had not turned out the way it did. I could have stayed happy. But I guess that isn't what was supposed to be my life. I made a choice and I believe it was the right one for everyone involved. I care and worry about her and how she's doing and hope everything really does work out for her.

In the meantime, I'm happy as shit. I'm shitting on the bed, RIGHT NOW, I'm so happy. That's pretty fucking happy, idnt it? Seriously, Jessica is such a funny, beautiful and witty bitch. *sigh* I wish she were here and not at work.

What about movies, you don't ask? Well...No particular order.
The Descent. Fucking awesome.
2001 Maniacs. Bizarre fun.
Hard Candy. Intense.
Lucky # Slevin. Funny!
Evil Aliens. Wait for it and laugh.

I suck at lists. Hell, my "favorite movie" changes from day to day, but those are some that come to mind.

Well, I'll try not to get into any trouble in '07 and sell some fucking pot(s) and finally be able to buy people Masmas gifts.

I haven't downloaded all of this, so I don't know where they cut it off, but this is something I watch all the time. You may not "get it" without seeing the whole movie, so here's a quick re-cap: All That Jazz. Guy drinks and smokes, alot. He has hallucinations while he dies.



Nix says: Have you watched those videos down there? Funny shit!

Not A GLU Related Post

I just fucking lied.

As you may know, God Lives Underwater was my favorite band and then the singer/songwriter died last year. Fuck, that sucks.

Well, the music guy, Jeff Turzo, hooked up with a guy from another band called sELF or something and their album is out. They're calling themselves Wired All Wrong. I didn't like it very much. But I listened again and it's been playing quite a bit in my player, now. The reason I didn't like it, at first, is that it wasn't GLU. This is more poppy, but it's goddamn catchy.

Anyway, I found some amusing videos, last night. the first one is a band called... I have no fucking clue. But I'm pretty sure the song is called Apache or Apache boy or something. It's disco, but it's comedy gold. Watch this shit:



Now, check out the Wired All Wrong video that re-edits that shit. Funny funny funny, bitches:



Nix says: That's all for now

Back To Work

Shit. I gotta work, tonight. And I actually am looking forward to getting out there and outselling myself, this year. I almost hit $600,000 in '06 and I'm shooting for $700,000 for '07. Yeah, the crazy guy in a trench-coat and sunglasses kicked fucking ass. I can't believe it, myself.

Re: MySpace

I only got a MySpace account because friends kept sending my invitaions or some such shit. I'm glad I finally got one. I don't really send messages and whatnot, but some amazing things have happened since I joined the moo-ing masses.

An ex-girlfriend found me and we're friends, now. A guy I went to college with found me and someday I'll be able to see his band play. And most importantly, a beautiful, funny and intelligent girl from High School found me and made me so fucking happy. That's my Jessica.

Last night, a friend from Junior High times came over and hung out. He also found me on MySpace. He'd been trying to track me down for years and his wife was trying, as well, when they finally tried the MySpace route. His name is Tim. Or Timmy. Or Timmy 'Tarded. Yes, this is they guy where "Timmy 'Tarded" came from.

Damn, we had a good time. Watched some Happy Tree Friends and my shorts. Talked about funny shit in the past and just laughed, a lot.

Thank you, MySpace.

Oh, new review at www.tombofanubis.com

And finally: Somebody was saying that this song and video sucks. From what I've seen of the video, yeah, the video is stupid. But I like the fucking song. Sure, it's a little too November Rain, but I still like it. And it's amorphous. It can mean so many things. So, here's the lyrics. Catch the song somewhere.

AVENGED SEVENFOLD LYRICS

"Seize The Day"

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over

I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
These streets we travel on will undergo our same lost past

I found you here, now please just stay for a while
I can move on with you around
I hand you my mortal life, but will it be forever?
I'd do anything for a smile, holding you 'til our time is done
We both know the day will come, but I don't want to leave you

I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry (a melody, a memory, or just one picture)

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over

Newborn life replacing all of us, changing this fable we live in
No longer needed here so where do we go?
Will you take a journey tonight, follow me past the walls of death?
But girl, what if there is no eternal life?

I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry (a melody, a memory, or just one picture)

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over

Trials in life, questions of us existing here, don't wanna die alone without you here
Please tell me what we have is real

So, what if I never hold you, or kiss your lips again?
So I never want to leave you and the memories of us to see
I beg don't leave me

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over

Trials in life, questions of us existing here, don't wanna die alone without you here
Please tell me what we have is real

Silence. You lost me. No chance for one more day
I stand here alone
Falling away from you, no chance to get back home
I stand here alone
Falling away from you, no chance to get back home



Nix says: Sieze the day, bitch. You fucked yourself. Oh, and Timmy's 'tarded.
