  1. I owe everything in my musical being growing up listening to the boys. Because of them, I can harmonize and sing a tune. Because of them, I had the warm ocean in the middle of winter. Because of them, I bought my first board at age 8 and haven't looked back. And eventhough during their heyday, they were despised by the surfing community, who preferred more underground rockers..next to Dick Dale, the Ventures, the Sandals & the Surfaris, they single handedly created music for people ready to embrace a laid back lifestyle of pure fun. We all know Pet Sounds and its influence on music that followed. I personally love Surfer Girl being it has their best song, In My Room, on it and the title track was the first song I knew all the words to as a kid. Such a shame the way the band fell apart and struggled to regain their musical composure after Brian's breakdown and the numerous tragedies that plagued the Wilson family. BTW, Dennis' solo album is nothing short of brilliant. It's scary how unique of a talent he was in his own right, but sadly alcohol and drug abuse had taken their toll on him by that point and we eventually lost him not long after. Carl had the best voice in the gang while Mike was the charasmatic lead. The only band to rival Zeppelin as my all time favorite musical act. Btw, Brian's new album is absolutely great. He's back in his primal form.
  2. Watched Juno on Saturday...wasn't that bad. I dunno if it's quite as good as all the hype had it at, but Jason Reitman seems to be showing promising signs for things in the future.
  3. Taken about two 1/2 weeks ago down the shore. What you can't see is we all had worn speedos to entice the cougar scene at happy hour..oh how they love them young blonde boys in speedos. Edited to Add: A quick headshot. I'll get some of me up in the recording studio and playing live in Philly soon.
  4. For anyone interested in a "Dark Knight" spoiler, here is what the new Two-Face played by Aaron Eckhart will look like. Two-Face Revealed
  5. True...moonlight surfing and swimming are still some of my favorite passtimes despite me growing up with that film at the beach, watching it over and over then running down to the ocean and pruning up for the next 7hrs..but we can't all be bronzed clamshells.
  6. Saw Get Smart the other night...it certainly has its moments of laughter but it was what I expected. ehh. Steve Carrol is stuck on playing the "awkward funnyman" in every movie now. For some actors, playing the same type of comic relief in every film works..like Bill Murray..who happens to have a hysterical cameo in this flick. "Nobody wants to talk to a guy in a tree."
  7. That's where I lost it in the theatre. I couldn't stop laughing because it was that bad. But the first half of the movie was classic Indy. But it does seem like Spielberg and Lucas just went with the "Close Encounters" thing and really dropped a turd on the franchise. The best part of the movie was seeing Ford do his thing, which he can still do at 65. But "Last Crusade" is still the superior closer to the series. And there's talks of another Indy movie...oye. Edited to Add: My personal belief is Spielberg has gone incredibly soft with creativity within the past decade. He still makes solid and sometimes spectacular films, but his overrall creative edge that once captivated movie goers and made you appreciate the filmmaker as someone more than just another movie director has been lost...somewhere between the gazillions of dollars he has and the Dreamworks gig. I think its just a comfort level thing, whereas when he was young with no money, there was no comfort level and he had to be very creative.
  8. ^ I've read several excerpts from different interviews depicting Sorum as an instigator. I'm still expecting a full on GnR reunion after they're inducted into the RnR HoF in 2012. If Izzy gets on board, the others will follow.
  9. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Great action, definitely worth seeing if you're a fan of the franchise. Last Crusade is the superior closer for the series however. Edited to Add: I didn't want to do a full review and give anything away so I'll leave that for a further time once people have had a chance to see it.
  10. That was the show where Bonzo caught a case of the 'hershey squirts' during the show. Its a reason why he doesn't play on Tangerine and why Plant continually questions his whereabouts between songs. When he does come back onstage, you can hear Plant say, "Where the hell were ya?"
  11. Costa Rica is the spot. I might have to build a hut in the trees somewhere. Preferrably right on the beach, overlooking a nice 10ft point break.
  12. Do I think there is life, possibly intelligent, besides us, in the known universe? Yes. At the same time, I doubt they would have any interest in us. We are too self-destructive. The Day The Earth Stood Still has always summed up my feelings towards other life in the galaxy and how they probably perceive us to be.
  13. I've looked into it as well. It runs about 400bucks for a full day's boat ride and about 20min in the cage. You can find White dives off Baja, Costa Rica or South Africa. It's definitely something I want to do within the next few years.
  14. Not necessarily. Sea creatures that were long thought to be either extinct or just myths turned out to be true in existence. Remember, we know more about the known universe than we do about our own oceans. The possibilities of there being large, prehistoric creatures roaming the deep, dark waters are not only possible, but indisputably likely.
  15. Not only have I seen ghosts and a verified UFO (it was in the paper), I've seen a ghost on a video tape taken off Clinton Road in Northern New Jersey. Anybody who is into "Weird NJ" or "Weird USA" might know the story.
  16. I've seen numerous ghosts or apparitions.
  17. I've seen shit that'll turn you white. or albino for all the pasty-faced whiteys out there.
  18. 1 Half Onion 3 Jalapeno Peppers 2 Jars of Newman's Own Garlic/Sausage Sauce 3lbs of Spicy Hot Italian Sausage About 2lbs of fresh tiger shrimp Alittle basil for seasoning Water down if too thick = best pasta sauce!
