I got the weekend off to a great start by taking a couple of hours out of the office Friday morning to go see X-Men Origins: Wolverine.  I actually didn’t have very high expectations for this one since it was a spin-off flick, but was pleasantly surprised.  The film actually did very well in telling the backstory of X-Men’s most popular character and keeping it fairly congruent to the other films.  And, despite comic fans’ disapproval, I thought Ryan Reynolds was great as Deadpool.

Later that night I watched one of Rebecca’s Netflix movies, Choke based on the novel by Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk.  Granted Choke was no Fight Club by any means, but the film was still very complex and compelling - ok, the boobs helped!  Like Fight Club, there’s really no simple way to describe Choke.  Just go pick it up and watch it!

Saturday I got up early for my air shift and then hauled ass to Spartanburg for the Upstate Unsigned/BLVD Music stage at Spring Fling 2009.  I arrived just in time to see THE DIRTY EIGHTIES take the stage as they put on a great set including their cover of METALLICA’s classic “For Whom the Bell Tolls”.  Next was FROM TOMORROW as they brought some hard-hitting metal action to our stage.  THE VESSEL followed with their unique blend of rock and then handed the stage over to EVERY MANS ENEMY.  This was the first time I got to see EME with my friend Mikey playing guitar in the band and I was quite impressed as I knew I would be having briefly worked with Mikey myself.

We then had to take a break as the weather started to get a little rough as did certain dog show hosts.  So after dealing with rain and pissies, DECADENCE took the stage and put on a great show that included a cover of KILLSWITCH ENGAGE’s “The End of Heartache”.  Wrapping up the night was NOXIOUS who took advantage of the extra time we had been given due to the circumstances of the day.  They ended with their cover of TOOL’s “Schism” after dealing with some technical issues.  So, outside of weather, technical difficulties and a few unpleasant dog lovers (don’t get me wrong, I love dogs myself but DAMN!), I had a great time as we had a great turn-out with some great bands gracing our stage!

Yesterday I stayed in except for a quick trip to Blockbuster to do one of my in-store trade-ins on my online account and picked up The Uninvited, another foreign remake only this time the original was Korean as opposed to Japanese.  A tormented girl returns home from a mental institution after witnessing her mother perish in a fire only to find her father is shacking up with her mother’s caretaker.  With the deadly vixen threatening to take over her home, she teams up with her sister to investigate the woman’s past.  I would like to say I saw the ending coming, but no, I did not by a long shot.  Great story with an incredible twist ending!

Ok, I’m sure you have heard me on the air and noticed I have sounded like crap the past couple of days.  So I go to the doctor since I had been running a steady fever of around 100 degrees.  I go in, fill out the standard paperwork and then go back and get my first shock: I weigh 211 pounds!  Then the doctor comes to see me and tells me I have allergies then writes me a couple of prescriptions that runs me $45 on top of the $20 copay for the doctor’s visit!  Had I known it was only allergies, I would have foregone the doctor’s visit and picked up some Claritin!

Last week, I watched the new animated film The Tale of Depereaux featuring the voices of Matthew Broderick and Dustin Hoffman.  A very well written story based on the popular children’s book which teaches the viewer/reader not to fear all the things society tells you to which is extremely important with all the fears rising in today’s world.

Thursday night I went to band practice with some new lyrics I had written for one of our songs.  Jeff and I were trying to get the lyrics to fit the music just right and, though Jeff was getting the right idea, it wasn’t translating as I had imagined.  So Jeff thought it would be a good idea to record me doing the vocals for the song which was a bad idea for two reasons.  The first reason being that my vocals were bloody awful and the second reason being I threw out my voice and put a strain on my throat which I believe began the chain reaction that led to my current condition with my allergies.  But at least we got the vocal translation on tape so Jeff can go back and redo the vocals and they turn out as I had imagined they would.

Saturday morning I got up early and went down to Easley to join WSPA News Channel 7 anchor Heather Sullivan in making the announcements for the March of Dimes’ March for Babies.  Despite the fact I was on stage making announcements before I normally get up on a weekday and this being a Saturday to boot, I was honored to be a part of something that is such a great cause especially considering I was born a month prematurely myself with an underdeveloped lung.

When I got home, I finally got to finish Italian horror director Dario Argento’s Three Mothers Trilogy with the final installment The Mother of Tears.  This film comes 27 years after the second installment and 30 years since the first, so there is a great leap in the special effects realm as opposed to its predecessors.  Argento began the series in 1977 with Suspiria which introduced horror fans to the first of the Three Mothers, Mater Suspiriorum, the Mother of Sighs who is the oldest of the Three Mothers and resides in Freiburg, Germany.  His saga continued a few years later with Inferno in 1980 with Mater Tenebrarum, the Mother of Darkness who is the youngest and most cruel of the Three Mothers and resides in New York City.  The final installment brings about the return of Mater Lachrimarum, the Mother of Tears who is the most beautiful and powerful of the Three Mothers and resides in Rome, Italy.  Although Argento is known for his stylish and brutal murder scenes, this one takes a step further into brutality with scenes including a woman throwing an infant off a bridge and a woman getting speared in her no-no area.  The film brings about a great closure to the trilogy and even reveals some events that occurred before the start of the first film that relates to the main character played by Dario’s daughter Asia Argento and the character’s unique family inheritance.

Sunday I woke up too sick to make it to church as that was when my symptons first began to go full swing so I stayed home and rested.  Monday, of course, I was only worse but I made it through the day as best as I could.  Afterwards I went home and finished watching Frost/Nixon.  The film was actually better than I had expected as a lot of it pertains the drama of taking risks as a British talk show host with little credibilty attempts to fund a project considered by many to be a joke.  I was surprised that the film didn’t turn into being a liberal bashing of the only President in America’s history to have resigned from office.  Granted, it made it’s jabs but there were quite a few liberals portayed in the film who were out merely to crucify Nixon.  Personally, I lean towards the conservative point of view however I am at odds with a lot of the stances and tactics made by the Republican party.  As for Nixon, I don’t believe he did anything worse than many other presidents have done and still do.  I believe what he did was wrong but I don’t believe that should be the only thing the man is remembered for.  That is simply not fair and I think, to some degree, you gather that from the film and that it doesn’t push you into viewing Nixon as a ‘bad guy’.

Man, I gotta say the past week has been insane!  Monday, I had a phone interview with Richard Patrick, frontman for FILTER as they are getting ready to invade the Bi-Lo Center as one of twelve bands at the first ever Greenville Crawfish Boil Fiday and Saturday May 15th and 16th.  We talked about everything from his early days in NINE INCH NAILS to his brother, actor Robert Patrick to being attacked while overseas playing for the troops.

The very next day I had the one and only Vinnie Paul, brother of the late Dimebag Darrell Abbott of PANTERA and DAMAGEPLAN, call in to promote the new SEVENTH VOID cd featuring Kenny Hickey and Johnny Kelly of TYPE O NEGATIVE as they are signed to his very own label, Big Vin Records (BVR).  He also happened to mention the new HELLYEAH disc which is currently in the works as they will be hitting the studio soon.

The day after that, I had a phone interview with Cody Hanson, drummer from HINDER as they, too, will be performing at the Greenville Crawfish Boil.

And, to top it all off, for the fourth day in a row I was exposed to killer rock musicians on Thursday as the Planet played host to a very special P1 Lounge featuring Dexter and Noodles from THE OFFSPRING!  Before their acoustic performance at 5, they stopped in the studio for an interview, a text Q and A session and even a few requested tunes from the guys themselves.  They were amazing to talk with and Dexter’s voice is great live!

If you want to hear all these great interviews and such in their entirety, simply go to newrock933.com, hit the ‘New Rock Music’ tab and click on ‘Planet on Demand’…..or simply click here.

Wednesday night after work I ran to my toy store, Best Buy to spend a little money since I had just got paid.  I needed a new video game so I ran in and grabbed Lego Indiana Jones since I loved Lego Star Wars.  So far, I’ve got through the six levels for the Raiders of the Lost Ark portion of the game. 

Friday night I went to the movies to go see the new horror flick The Haunting in Connecticut.  Not a bad film as far as genuine scares go, but didn’t live up to all the hype I’ve heard about it.  Still, like I said, good for a scare!

The Haunting in Connecticut  \m/  \m/  \m/  \n

Saturday, I had Willie, my drummer in TRAGEDY CHAPTER, come by my apartment and help me load my Gallien-Krueger Backline 4×10 and Peavey 1×15 bass cabinets in my new Jeep Compass so I could run them up to BLVD Music and trade them in for a new bass cabinet.  BLVD was having their awesome Red Tag Sale going on so I got a great deal on a brand new SWR WorkingPro 4×10 bass cabinet…..with wheels!!!!  So, needless to say, it was much easier getting it to my ride and back into my apartment than the other two cabinets were!

After dropping my sweet new bass cabinet off at my apartment, I ran to the mall to pick up some new threads.  I nabbed a Watchmen T-shirt from Hot Topic with Rorschach on it and a couple of new wristbands with four-leaf clovers on them that were on clearance for a buck each!

Yesterday I slept in a bit but managed to make it to the noon service at Brookwood Church.  When the service was over, I ran up to their bookstore to get one of the necklaces they had symbolizing the messages in the Easter series: He came, He died, He rose, He ascended and He’s coming back.

As you can tell, I love getting paid - especially when I don’t have a car payment this month!  I suppose that accident was a blessing in disguise!

Well, needless to say, this weekend was much better than last.  Having said that, I wouldn’t want to fathom it being worse!  LOL!  Friday was a bit rough because I found out that State Farm was only going to give me $12,000 for my Pontiac even though I still owe $17,000.  In all fairness, that is all the vehicle is worth and even 12K is pushing it but that was leaving me $5000 in the hole so I was freaking!  I was then told to contact the dealer and check and see if I had gap insurance since all my paperwork was locked away in my car which was at the body shop.  So I called Big O Dodge and, sure enough, I had it!  For those who don’t know gap insurance is, it’s additional insurance you get when financing a vehicle that covers the difference of what is owed as opposed to what it’s worth which is all auto insurance will cover if the vehicle is totaled.

So, relieved and anxious to get into a new vehicle, I spent some time carshopping on the internet Saturday morning while on the air.  When I got off, I went back to Big O Dodge since there were a couple of Dodge models and even a Jeep model I wanted to check out.  After scoping the lot, I selected the last Jeep Compass they had and, less than three hours later, I was riding off with it!  So I had fun showing it off to the family on Sunday during our Easter get-together!  And I am glad to report that I made it to church safe and sound Sunday morning with no one pulling out in front of me!

This morning I had to clean out the old Pontiac so State Farm could come and pick up the totaled vehicle and junk it.  At this point, I am letting the insurance companies handle the rest!  Now that I’ve covered that, it’s time to cover some DVDs!

Last Wednesday, Rebecca rented Yes Man from one of those movie vending machines so she brought it over so we could watch it.  Jim Carrey was great in a comedy about a reclusive banker who doesn’t take chances and always dodges any opportunity for excitement.  He is talked into attending a seminar that teaches people to take risks and to say ‘Yes!’ to every open opportunity, a doctrine he takes literally and to the extreme degree.  Needless to say, saying ‘Yes!’ to everything gets him in quite a bit of trouble over time.

Friday night after work I went to Blockbuster to trade in a couple of my online movies.  That night I watched Bedtime Stories with Adam Sandler.  I was actually disappointed with the film not because it was Sandler doing a Disney movie, but rather because it just seemed to lack something.  It’s not a bad movie by any means, just not what I had expected.

Bedtime Stories  \m/  \m/  \m/

When I got in from getting my new ride Saturday, I sat and watched Hancock on Blu-ray.  I must say I enjoyed the film more the second time around since I was disappointed in the theater.  This time around I was much more accepting of Hancock’s backstory which I did not care for at first.  Although I enjoyed the film more the second time around, I see no need to up the rating since I gave it my fair opinion the first time!

Hancock  \m/  \m/  \m/  \n

Afterwards I watched Saw V on Blu-ray which was the other one I traded for on Friday.  As expected, the fifth installment in the Saw series was an ongoing expedition into a very tired franchise whose shock value has dulled to the point of making me immune to what would normally be disturbing.  Personally, I think the third film was where the series peaked and has been downhill since.

Saw V  \m/  \m/

Sunday after getting home from the family get-together, my mom called and wanted to come by for a little while so we rode back to Blockbuster so I could trade Hancock in for the new Tommy Lee Jones flick In the Electric Mist, a strange murder mystery set in the bayou of Louisiana.  Not a bad film, but certainly no No Country for Old Men!  I really can’t say anymore because it’s really too hard to describe in just a few words and I’m getting too tired to keep typing!  Plus I gotta get to band practice!

In the Electric Mist  \m/  \m/  \m/

Wow, yesterday was a crazy ass day!  At noon, we had Christian rockers RED drop by the studio to do an interview and acoustic song with our very own Dex followed by HALESTORM at one.  Of course, it was great seeing the guys of RED again in person for, like, the fourth time now!  I think we’re all on first name bases by now!  HALESTORM, on the other hand, I had never met before and, let me say, their singer/guitarist Lzzy Hale is pretty damn cute!  I didn’t get to stay long with them, however, since I had to leave for the P1 Lounge with TRAPT at Whitestone Studios in downtown Greenville.

Unfortunately, TRAPT’s singer Chris Brown was ill and trying to recuperate before last night’s show, so we proceeded with a meet and greet with the rest of the band as well as a bit of a Q and A session.  I, of course, enjoyed some free Papa John’s pizza and drinks and mingled with some of our P1s in the meantime while exploring the kick ass set up at Whitestone Studios.

Afterwards, I had to bolt back to the studio since I was on the air and all (how I managed to be both places at the same time is a secret I’ve sworn to keep)!

Once I was done with my air shift, Rebecca and I grabbed a bite to eat with Jordan Zucker, TRAPT’s record rep and then went out to the show at the Handlebar.  We got there as the opening band, INEPT was finishing up their set.  HALESTORM was next as Lzzy opened their set by demonstrating the power of her voice a capella.  Halfway through their set, the drummer Arejay Hale (Lzzy’s younger brother) whipped a pair of oversized drumsticks during a crazy ass drum solo as the rest of the band all brought out percussion instruments and proceeded to join their drummer in banging away on some skins!  I was impressed!

RED was next as they commanded the audience and even earned a crowd chant for an encore at the end of their set.  Unfortunately, they were unable to do an encore since it was time for TRAPT to take the stage.  At this point our feet were killing us so we headed upstairs to the Handlebar skybox and grabbed my former bandmate, Matt Nations of DOGFIGHT.  Being upstairs was indeed ideal as we got to sit and actually see the band seeing as none of us are too terribly tall - myself especially!

The show was great and wore my ass out from the long day of running around with bands on top of my daily duties, but that didn’t stop me from returning to work after midnight to finish up what I didn’t get done while running around!

Ok, bear with me, my weekend was not all bad!  Friday night, Rebecca and I went out to go see the new animated flick Monsters Vs. Aliens featuring the voices of Reese Witherspoon and Seth Rogen.  The film was very creative, well animated and incredibly funny with humor relevant for all ages.  Plus we watched the movie in 3D so that was an added bonus!  Highly recommended!

Saturday was mostly a lazy day as Rebecca brought some of her Netflix over and we watched Seven Pounds with Will Smith.  Smith plays a troubled IRS agent who is seeking to help change the lives of seven strangers each with very different circumstances in an attempt to pay some penance for something he had done.  Very well written and touching film that stands alone with its one-of-a-kind story.

Seven Pounds  \m/  \m/  \m/  \m/  \n

Afterwards, we went out to go feed the ducks and geese some of the leftover loaf bread in the bottom of my refrigerator.  As we were feeding them, one angry duck came towards us hissing so we backed away until it diverted its attention elsewhere!  We then finished feeding them and went on our merry way.

Sunday morning I got up and got ready to go to church for the first time in months.  Rebecca said she wanted to go so I left a bit early to go pick her up at her new house in Mauldin.  On our way to church, a woman in an SUV pulled right out in front of us and I had little time to react as I slammed on brakes before making the imminent impact.  The car slammed headfirst into the SUV’s driver side door deploying both of my front airbags and her side airbag.  When the chaos was over and I realized everyone was okay, I had to resist the urge to lash out in anger since the woman had obviously not been paying attention when she pulled out.

I got out and tried to get my scrambled head together so I could call 9-1-1.  The paramedics and police came out followed by a tow truck to take away my car which was, needless to say, undriveable as it was bleeding a concoction of fluids.  I then called my mom to come pick me and Rebecca up and take us back to her house so she could take me home.  On the way to my apartment, we stopped and got lunch to go.  When we reached my apartment, I realized I had left my cell phone in my mom’s car.  So, after we ate lunch, I had Rebecca take me to my mom’s house and back so I could have my cell phone.  After that, I stayed in having had enough for one day!

Today I woke up not in as much pain as I had expected since I had beat up my left forearm pretty good in addition to the airbag burn on it (Rebecca had pretty bad bruises from her seatbelt on her chest and stomach).  I had called Stoneman from ROCK 101 the day before to see if he would give me a lift to work and he agreed so he got me here this morning.  Upon getting in the office, I called my insurance company after having made the claim yesterday after the accident using their 24 hour customer service.  I was able to get an approved body shop to pick up the vehicle from the towing service for an estimate as well as a ride to get a rental car.

So now I’m cruising in a rental car waiting to hear what the fate of my car is going to be…..

This weekend was fun with all the rain followed by the gusty winds on Sunday which left me without power for a while.  However, I managed to enjoy it nevertheless!

Last week, we got in some copies of Bolt on Blu-ray so I enjoyed revisiting the animated film my college friend, Chris Doehling worked on.  If you look in the credits, he’s a trainee on the Look Development Department.  Unfortunately, it was not formatted to 3D on Blu-ray as it was in the theater, but I still enjoyed the movie without the perk of the 3D glasses-induced headache!  Fun special features include behind-the-scenes shots of some of the actors in their recording sessions.

After work on Friday, Rebecca asked me to come over since she needed some company after a rough week so, being we are still trying to maintain a friendship, I did and we rented Twilight from one of those vending machines at the Bi-Lo near her house.  It actually wasn’t a bad movie, though still a bit sappy as it caters to all the emo kids who love the appeal of a dark romance involving a girl and a boy who just happens to be a vampire.  The few moments of action make it somewhat worth making it through some of the sap.  Not bad if you’re bite-curious!  Ok, THAT was BAD!!!

Twilight  \m/  \m/  \m/

Saturday, I had to get up early and pull a shift on the air.  Afterwards I just chilled on the couch, played some Resistance 2 on PS3 and watched Tropic Thunder on Blu-ray since I had just got it in from Blockbuster after updating my account info since my last debit card had expired and my account lapsed as a result.  It was good to finally get to see it again for the first time since the theater - especially a shockingly funny performance from Tom Cruise!  The best thing on the special features was the MTV Movie Awards skit with Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey, Jr. cross promoting Tropic Thunder, Kung Fu Panda and Iron Man.  Definitely worth a rental!

Tropic Thunder  \m/  \m/  \m/  \n

Having been without movies for a while because of the lapse of my account, I ran down to my nearest Blockbuster to trade Tropic Thunder in for The Haunting of Molly Hartley, a good little tale of evil forces in the vein of The Omen and other classic occult flicks.  The film centers around a young girl who was brutally attacked by her own mother.  We later learn that her mother was trying to save her from being taken by the forces of darkness since her soul had been sold at birth to save her life.  Not bad for a comtemporary horror tale with some legitimate scares scattered throughout the film.

The Haunting of Molly Hartley  \m/  \m/  \m/  \n

Sunday I slept in and then got up, watched TV and some movies I got in the mail.  While I was watching Eraserhead, the directorial debut from David Lynch which is one of the strangest movies I have EVER seen, Rebecca dropped by to pick up something she had left at my apartment.  Only a few minutes after she left, my power went out cutting off the movie.  I then called Rebecca and she answered asking if I was without power.  I asked how she knew and she told me that a tree had grazed her car on Roper Mountain Road as it fell due to the gusty winds taking down a power line with it.  It freaked her out because it could have killed her had she been a split second sooner.

After I got off the phone with her, I called Duke Power and reported what she had told me.  I then hopped in my car and went down to see the damage.  A fire truck was already on the scene as there was a great amount of smoke from the apparent electrical fire.  More than an hour later I left for my mom’s and had to take a detour around the area.  Several hours later I had to do the same on my way back to my apartment but was glad to see that my power was restored when I got in.  Apparently it hadn’t been on long since my alarm clock read 12:08 am!

Well, my vacation is now officially over and I am pleased to say that I did next to nothing for an entire week!  After getting off work Friday before last, Rebecca and I went out to catch the remake of Wes Craven’s 1972 shock horror flick The Last House on the Left.  This was the rare exception to the rule that the remake is never better than the original since the original in this case was more cheesy than it was shocking.  Granted, it had its shocking moments especially considering it came out four years before I was born!  The updated version is brutal and without the lame ass music and goofy characters like the dimwitted deputy from the original.  Overall, the new version can be taken much more seriously than its predecessor.

The Last House on the Left  \m/  \m/  \m/  \n

The weekend was rather uneventful save for some unwanted drama the details of which I will not fully disclose at this time.  Monday was Rebecca’s 26th birthday so I went out trying to find her a gift.  Having no clue what to get her, I ran to Blockbuster to trade in a couple of movies from my online account.  While I was there, I saw a copy of the graphic novel of Watchmen.  After leaving, I realized how much I really wanted to read the graphic novel so I went to Barnes & Noble to pick up a copy and did some shopping for Rebecca while I was there.

When Rebecca got off work, she came over and I snuck out to grab her a birthday cake last minute.  We just stayed in since she’d had a rough day at work and watched one of the movies I’d picked up that day, Lakeview Terrace with Samuel L. Jackson.  The movie was pretty much what I had expected as Jackson’s character is a cop who terrorizes his new neighbors, an interracial couple he more than disapproves of.  Not bad.  Worth a rental.

Lakeview Terrace  \m/  \m/  \m/

Tuesday, of course, was St. Patty’s Day, so I greened up and went out to BLVD Music to see the legendary Victor Wooten give a free bass guitar clinic with his new Hartke rig.  After that, I had to haul ass to get to band practice and rip on bass myself….well, maybe not to the degree that Mr. Wooten does!  LOL!!!

Wednesday I had to get up early and take care of some unpleasant duties and then went home, changed clothes and went to Hollywood 20 to see Watchmen a second time - something I do when I really love a movie!  Then, later that night, as if I hadn’t had enough movie-watching since Watchmen is nearly three hours long, I watched the other movie I picked up from Blockbuster Monday, Zack and Miri Make a Porno.  As usual, when Kevin Smith directs a good dirty comedy, it’s a hit!  Factor in his usual great casting and throw in Seth Rogen to lead, oh yeah!  I don’t really need to summarize the film since the title says it all!

Thursday I slept in and was just lazy watching tv, reading, etc.  Jeff, my guitarist, was exhausted so we called off band practice.  I went out into the wonderful springtime rain and grabbed a burger and a hot dog from Dawg’s since I’d never actually been there and I had their menu ever since I moved into Roper Mountain Woods!  I brought them home and enjoyed them in front of the tv and watched one of Becca’s Netflix movies, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.  I wasn’t a big fan of the first two films and I liked this one even less with Mario Bello taking over for Rachel Weisz’s character.  It wasn’t that her performance was bad, but it wasn’t Weisz and I feel she tried too hard to be Weisz.  Again, great special effects tainted by cheesy dialogue.  Take it or leave it.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor  \m/  \m/  \n

Friday I went back to Blockbuster for another online trade-in and then met up with Jeff who’d had a great night’s sleep since he was able to go to bed early for a change.  We met at Stax Omega and just sat, had lunch and discussed various issues going on.  I went home and watched my movie, Hulk Vs., a two-in-one animated feature where my favorite comic book character takes on Wolverine and Thor.  Not bad considering animated comic book features are usually fairly cheesy.

Hulk Vs.  \m/  \m/  \m

Saturday I actually spent a little bit of time with Rebecca and went with her to Big O’ Dodge to do some potential carhunting for her.  I was surprised to be approached by none other than Jake Odom as he actually knew who I was.

Sunday, being my last day to do nothing, I did just that!  I slept in and stayed in my boxers all day!  No, I won’t post a pic of THAT!!!  I’d like to have you continue reading my blogs!

Ok, I know my week of vacation was not exciting but it was everything I needed it to be: restful and lazy!
