Johnny Cupcakes

Fun, colorful, juicy zombie movie. Among many other intense parts, there’s a scene where the main character chops up a large grouping of zombies with a lawn mower! That alone is worth it! Surprisingly this movie was directed by Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings), back in the day before his fame. Rent or buy this dvd, it’s a great addition for any collection. Just like the cover of the dvd says, “…The goriest fright film of all time!”.

Oliver Mak of Boston’s finer establishments, Bodega, spun a fun set at my annual ‘There’s Something In The Cupcake Mix!’ release.  We chatted about how much of a bum out it is, that turntables and spinning actual vinyl records – are slowly phasing out while laptops are taking over.  Where’s the fun in that?  If I payed money to go see a DJ, he damn well better show some talented moves on the 1’s and 2’s.  It’s a little more fun than watching someone press a play button on their laptop.  We also talked about how many indie-rock kids and more, are way into going out dancing now.  You use to be able to check out your favorite DJ, comfortably.  Now it’s jam packed with dancing machines, which is awesome for the music scene…just surprising how much it grew in the past year or two. I don’t consume alcohol or drugs, and I only know how to slow dance… so you prolly won’t see me out at the clubs.

Bobby Hundreds, Jeff Carvalho and I, had a conversation yesterday, about how many different types of people enjoy clothing together.  Back in the day, you almost had to be one certain type of person with one specific style, if you didn’t want to feel like an outcast.  At my releases you’ll see thugs, indie rockers, hardcore kids, college kids, skaters, fashionable people, younger siblings, young adults, collectors, foreigners, sneaker heads, etc..  Everyone makes new friends, memories, and has a blast.  It’s great that in this day and age, people can enjoy the same thing without feeling like they shouldn’t.

The Mothman Prophecies is one of the top few movies that have given me some serious chills. Based on true events, so that ups the whole scare factor. Cold colors, erie soundtrack, and again – the true events. This movie isn’t all blood and gutsy, but I can almost guarantee that it will freak you out more than any gore movie. It takes a bit of paying attention too, so do not watch it with all your loud friends. Put on some fleece pants and cuddle up with your love interest.

I don’t think I could ever move out of Massachusetts. Fall is one of the best seasons. Actually, every season is nice…but fall is especially. And yea, we may have freeeezing winters, but they’re fun if you ski, snowboard, and/or sled. The cold gives you a chance to slow things down a bit, and not feel so bad about staying in and catching up on reading or Lost episodes. You get to go ‘winter shopping’ to stock up on cozy hooded sweatshirts and a nice jacket or two. If you’re a Christmas freak like me, it definitely boosts up the holiday spirits. That wondrous crisp air that smells a bit like fireplaces. Most of all, it lets you appreciate all the other seasons too.

Not sure what I’m gonna do for Halloween yet? It will be my first Halloween being a home owner, so I may have to give out candy and scare the caca out of people with some friends. My Mom just got me some Halloween decorations that I need to rig up. I’m going to pick up a Mortal Kombat 2 arcade machine tonight. There’s been a big debate between Mortal Kombat 2 and 3. Mortal Kombat 2 has Baraka, the graphics and characters are much larger compared to 3, and it’s a bit of a classic. Mortal Kombat 3 does have more characters to choose from, has the nifty run button which is both cool and annoying. It also has more levels, some of which you can get bashed through. When it all boiled down, I can get a near mint condition MK2 machine in Massachusetts. MK3 would have to be bought online and shipped to me, costing approximately one soul(with the grand possibility of getting ruined between shipment). I’m all about basic video games too. The more simple, the better. I’m not going to spend half a year trying to beat ‘x’ amount of levels with memory cards pouring out of my face. Nevermind playing the a video game for more than an hourish. Nintendo and Super Nintendo is where it’s at. Plus my attention span is a little flimsy.

Does anyone jump in piles of leaves anymore?

It’s those simple things in life…. like feeding your neighborhood friend mini chocolate Mr Goodbars. She comes on my porch frequently.

Where to begin?  If you enjoy cheesy movies with a little bit of bad ass-ness, this is worth checking out.  A wandering homeless man with a mullet(Roddy Piper) – travels and ends up working construction.  While lurking around this shady church across the way, he stumbles upon a box of suspicious sunglasses in a secret room.  These sunglasses allow him to see people and things, that the ordinary person cannot see.  There are some great quotes in this movie.  One notable part, Roddy busts into a bank and announces, “I came here to chew bubblegum and kick ass…and I’m all out of bubblegum!” then he starts blasting away alien scum!  There’s also a five minute epic fist fight scene in this movie, where Roddy tries getting his friend to try on the special glasses.  Rumor has it, that part of that fist fight scene was real? The movie starts off a bit slow, but gets entertaining.  This is one of John Carpenter’s earlier creations.

Check out this sweet automobile I encountered on Newbury Street! Minus the flames though. Flames in general sorta remind me of the wrestler Bam Bam Bigelo and/or oversized silk shirts that ‘mall-core’ kids wear).  I’d be afraid to own something this fancy.  I want to buy a Delorean so bad, and dress up like Marty McFly from Back To The Future.  I have various high top sneakers, an orange vest…all I’d need was a sports almanac.  We’ll see what the future holds(no pun intended) for my odd automobile infatuations.  Do you remember collecting toy Matchbox cars/Hot Wheels as a kid?  Taking them to school and building unstable ramps with rulers and Choose Your Own Adventure books.  Or begging your parents to go to McDonald’s so you can get a Happy Meal, which included a different Hot Wheels car each week.  I would wish for my little sister to not get the Barbie Happy Meal, so I have another toy car.  I haven’t had fast food in years, it gives me cah cah.
