Mel Gibson's Judah Macabee Project
It’s official. Pre-production is full swing ahead for Mel Gibson’s film on Judah Macabee, the Hebrew warrior who fought off the Roman’s in the 2nd Jewish revolt that the story of Hannukah is based on. Mel doesn’t seem to care about the fact that there’s already a Macabee project that’s been in the works for years, or that no one on the planet wants him to...

Britpop vs. Grunge
It’s the 20th Anniversary of Nirvana’s Nevermind and though I can’t say that I rememeber early 90’s culture as much as Generation X must, I can appreciate the music scene at the time. My cousin in Canada may possibly be the biggest Nirvana fan of all time and had a vigil for him the day he died. But something about grunge never quite rang true to me. The 90’s were a...

Conan- I Hardly Knew Ye
I watched the Conan O’Brien documentary last night and I don’t know if it was just because I was high, but seeing Conan behind the scenes like that and being so upset over the Tonight Show thing kind of changed my opinion of him and not for the better. He actually is a bit of a tyrant to his staff, personal assisstant and writers and to see Conan not be a happy go lucky, albeit self-...

Ramblings of a H Alex K on the next season of...
Yeah, I watch this douche-y, bro-y show and I love it. When Entourage started off, I was its number one fan when I could get me a peek at that HBO once in awhile. HBO was so rare and classy to me at the time that I had to rent the DVD’s. There were Entourage DVD’s in my house at one point. Vince was cool and most of the acting was lame but likable guys, but Ari Gold was the man to...

I don't "get" tanning
Most people probably do look better with a little sun, but the act of going away somewhere for the express intent to sit outside for free rays of sun is an absurdity. I shutter to think what goes on in people’s minds when they are actually in the act of tanning (“I am getting darker. I am having a good time”). I tried to go through with it in the summer in the Mediteranean and I...

The Battle Against Emotionalism
Emotionalism has become the increasingly prevalent and dominant force in the world and must be vanquished. Emotionalism and tribalism have been responsible for all the wars and conflicts in the world. Don’t let anyone ever get a rise out of you. If you want to save the world, just think.

Dealing with bad news
I got some bad news the other day about a good friend. I’m not going to say what, but its one of those big things you always think will never happen to you directly or someone close, but sure enough, it did. This may sound terrible, but somewhere inside there was a little voice grateful that it wasn’t me, but then I realized that probably everyone has one of those even if they...
cigarettes and enlightenment
One can never claim to be fully at peace or to have achieved enlightenment if they smoke cigarettes. Is is a baseless, mechanic act fueled only by addiction and initiated by stupidity and/or the follies of youth. I do not condemn the act in and of itself nor those who partake in the glorious escape of the tumults or mundane affairs that is every day life through the release of the glorious...
