I gotta admit, I always wanted to dedicate a little bit of time collecting subjects to discuss (or rant) in this blog of mine. It's very fulfilling to express your thoughts in the world wide web, where almost everybody can get famous. As much as possible, I also don't want to post personal-diary stuff on my blog. Why? Well, 1. It can get dramatic 2. People don't really want to know what you did during the day (unless it is of scandalous nature, or you're a damn celebrity) and 3. well, I just had to inlude the number 3. It is a universal number. You'll find out soon...
Anyway, I've bought a July 2008 issue of Playboy Philippines simply because of an interview with The Simpsons creator Matt Groening. His answers are very informative and funny. Here's an excerpt (buy the issue...)
On the Movie: " We're playing around with the pacing. No, we're not padding it with a lot of songs. We tried."
The Simpsons Hair: "...what was memorable in cartoons was characters you could identify in silohoutte. That's why [they] have distinctive hairlines"
On the thousands of merchandise: "We have turned a few things down, believe it or not. We turned down Simpsons slot machines..."
On memory: " I can't remember... having done 400 episodes... I have only a certain amount of space in my brain for Simpsons knowledge."
Having also watched an episode of Monster Jam (http://www.monsterjamonline.com) showing on Maxxx, I have come to a conclusion that this is the kind of television that you will be entertained and watch for a few minutes. It stacks up there with wrestling and Olympics.
It would be entertaining and grand if I would become a professor at a college. For one, I would make my students research their assignments and projects the old-fashioned way: library. I wouldn't allow them to research it online. It would be too easy. I experienced that this generation is a point-click-copy-paste generation. They would rather dedicate their time playing DOTA (which I'm a fan of) than hit the books. So I would make sure that their research is not, shall I say, a Wikipedia-ripped one. Haha...
Do check out this site: http://www.flamingmayo.com/firstchurchofpacman It is an extremely well-written and insult-laden site for fans of that yellow, gluttonous 8-bit videogame icon. It may lack menus (all of the information is placed on one page.) but it is very informative. Check it even if you're not a videogame freak (Gasp! How dare you??!!) I love listening also to Urbandub's new single "Fight Is Over" and Weezer's "Pork And Beans"

Random Rants , Quasi-Sex Scenes and Common Assholes...
Y'know, I've been doing some heavy thinking (a rare feat) and wondered what makes this blog different from my Friendster http://vicktuhworld.blogs.friendster.com/musiclovegorespoofscrapmo/ blog?
Well, my Friendster blog has more history and a cult following. This, however, I've tried to be more interactive, adding links and font colors to add attention to the reader (which I'm hoping is developing) and I guess all my thoughts are a little personal now, telling my stories. All my posts will be placed on this and not my Music.Love.Gore... blog. Although I don't want to ignore my original fans... (notice my celebrity twang...)
It's also really hard not to post some very mean stuff on people you hate. I would love to, but I fear that I might regret it in the future. And besides, it's pretty juvenile and will add more to my receding hairline. (OK, I admit it, but I'll expound on it at another time.) So, I'll just quote my early post " There are many cruel, ugly, stupid and snobbish people on this earth...F*CK YOU, YOU CRUEL, UGLY, STUPID AND SNOBBISH PEOPLE THAT I KNOW"
A few days ago I was able to watch on DVD the movie "Good Luck Chuck" starring Dane Cook and the very statuesque Jessica Alba. The movie is very sexist (it has a 3% rating at rottentomatoes.com http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/good_luck_chuck/) but despite that, I enjoyed it. Heck, all testosterone-driven men will like the movie (I love actor Dan Fogler's horny-as-hell character). It has, in my opinion, the best quasi-sex scene of a movie. The part where Cook and Alba are kissing each other and Cook prefers his women to be bra-less. Alba, infatuated by Cook, takes out her bra from her blouse. Wow. And the part where Alba is seducing Cook by undressing him and herself plus whsipering "this is gonna be your best night ever..." And also the part where Cook, trying to avoid physically seeing Alba as fear of his "charm" might affect her, she tries to convince him to come to her house, even doing phone sex and sending a racy picture. And when he did, hallwathey really wrecked Alba's living room and the hallway leading to her bedroom. Man, it's good!!! Just watch the damn movie...
Random rants: Jason Statham and Jet Li faced off in an action movie, so why not Vin Diesel and Dwayne "The Rock"Johnson? The two actors are well-built and have appeared in action and comedy films. Remember Dino-Riders? They're so cool (check out this website http://www.dinoriders.com/. Too bad my toys are either broken or incomplete. Lastly, check out this website, http://garfieldminusgarfield.net/ where they explored " existential angst of a certain young Mr. Jon Arbuckle. It is a journey deep into the mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness and depression in a quiet American suburb." In layman's terms, making Mr. Arbuckle more pathetic than ever. It's very "alternative" and disturbing at the same time...

Libido And Floodwater Rising...
Yesterday was something else. I have one of the most terrible and near-death experience (you read that right...) that happened to me.
It was August 31, the night before that me and my officemates watched a musical and acrobatic show held in PAGCOR Paranaque called Wanders. I'm sure that you people saw it on tv and some print media. We got FREE front-row tickets courtesy of my generous officemate (thanks, ailene!!!) The show was great, there are lots of breathtaking stunts performed by these Chinese and Russian acrobats. But the one thing that stood out is an act where there are lots of flamboyant women gyrating in skimpy outfits. Wow. There's even a chick being lowered from the ceiling sitting in a swing. That's like one of my fantasies. That act is like what the inside of my head is like. Hahahaha...
After some minor gambling and drinking, I got home to Makati late next morning and slept for a while. I was about to go home to Malabon when rain poured outside. It rained hard. After it drizzled a little, I decided to go home. To my surprise, there's floodwater everywhere!!! From the route I'm supposed to take (Gil Puyat going to LRT Station) I waded in hip-deep of flood. There are lots of stranded passengers and cars stuck in flood. There are instances when a bus would pass by and there's a wave hitting us. It was crazy.
Then when I passed the landmark, functioning Railroad near a famous Condo, I almost went straight ahead at what I thought was a puddle. Good thing some guy stopped me and informed that that was a canal. It was very deep and if nobody stopped me, I would have fallen there and maybe taken by a current and got washed up to Manila Bay. Seriously, I'm glad somebody stopped me. I admit I forgot that canal and was a little ignorant. I thank the heavens above that I am still here, blogging.
Random Rants: Pedicab's new single "Ang Pusa Mo" is raunchy, violent and has an infectous beat. Plus it has chicks!!! Two of them I recognize: Dylan from JACK TV's The PEEP Show and cosplay chick Alodia Gosiengfiao (check her out http://blackmage9.deviantart.com/) I have read news that Marvel Toys will not produce any "Legendary ComicBook Heroes" line anymore (see pics at http://www.actionfigureinsider.com/gallery2/album/AFI-Panel-Marvel-Toys-ToyBiz/index.php?page=1), so I have interests of buying their second wave and building the figure MonkeyMan http://indie.superarticulated.com/2007/12/03/legendary-comic-book-heroes-series-2/#more-93. A retail store near Monumento carries all of the figures, so I plan to purchase them all, despite the combined 3000php price tag. Let's just see what happens... I need to check my salary first.

Starting Out with A Bang...
This is, for the most part, the hardest part. Thinking of a subject to write about is always tricky. It's like when you're at the Videoke Bar and that giant Songbook was handed to you and then forgetting what you want to sing (you know that happens to you) or when you're downloading songs for your MP3 Player (or iPod, whatever, ) and forgetting what you wanted at the first place. I could go on and on and on...
Well, what can I talk about?
How about the fact I'm not new at this, y'see, my little chickadees, if you have a Friendster (the ultimate stalker material!) account, http://vicktuhworld.blogs.friendster.com/musiclovegorespoofscrapmo/, I've been "blogging" for almost three years now. I must admit, I have a few "fans" and "critics" but nontheless I've poured my insulting side on that blog. From band Typecast's fugly hair to Winnie the Pooh's weird voice, I've insulted it all. And I'm not stopping 'coz you people care... Maybe.
And, I love my blog title. Music.Love.Gore.Spoofs.Crap.More? Why that title? Well, let me qoute my blog entry three years ago, "as you can see, my blog name is inspired by album titles of gwen stefani (love.angel.music.baby) and stereophonics (or is their name dakota? both words are good band names.)
they're summarized and embodies most on my mind. i don't know, it sounds catchy and such. "
And I do random rants there so here goes: SpiderMan 3 action figures are a good bargain. Discounted at 200php, they're very detailed and has lots of articulation. Buy them now at your nearest Toystore. '57 Chevy Bel-Air rocks. The EraserHeads Reunion Concert will rejuvenate good ol' OPM... Maybe.
