Adventure Time Is the Greatest Time of the Day!

I have something to admit... I absolutely love Adventure Time!! It's become my favorite non-Adult Swim cartoon and with good reason. I started watching the show last year, after hearing good things about it. I ain't looked back since.

Created by Pendelton Ward , this fantasy toon airing on Cartoon Network is about Finn the human and his loyal dog and best friend Jake the dog, and, well, their adventures in the post-apocalyptic Land of Ooo. Finn is a 14 year-old human boy, who is a brave hero. Jake has magical powers and can grow, shrink, or stretch his limbs. The world is filled with various creatures, monsters, weird denizens, princesses, vampires, demons, wizards, and other cool shit. It's a crazy and silly world where anything is possible.

There are lot of fun and recurring supporting characters like the evil Ice King, the pretty Princess Bubblegum, or goth/ vampire babe Marceline. They all add to the coolness of the show, and there is actually a continuity of sorts, storyline wise. Plus, I love the fact that there is enough humor, themes, and action to keep away from being strictly for the kids. I wouldn't like it anywhere near as much if it was.

The writing is phenomenal on the show. It's smart, funny, and highly original. And, it's clear the writers love things like: video games, horror, fantasy (duh!), metal, and geek culture, in general. In fact, one needs only to go to any comic or anime con, and you'll see a bunch of people cosplaying as characters from the show. Last year, the Ice King was one of the best at NYCC.

It's been a huge critical and commercial success for the channel. So, of course, there is some great merchandise. I got the little figurine of Finn given out last year at NYCC, and just this past Sunday, I picked up, at Hot Topic, a cool light, blue tee with Jake in a pocket. Plus, also at Hot Topic, I got to, finally (!), get small plush doll of Jake. It looks so cute and you can hang him. At 9 bucks it's not a bad price. And, once you own it, you'll be happy you did pick him up!!! Now, I want, no NEED more Adventure Time merchandise!!

Still need more convincing of how awesome this show is? Here are vids to do just that:

A couple of new episodes have been airing as of late and my love for this show grows exponentially. What time is it? It's Adventure Time!!!!! And, I wouldn't have it any other way!!

Saturday Nightmares June 4, 2011: The Stars

My first time at a Saturday Nightmares convention was a good one! I went with my good friends Alan and Pat and had a real fun time.

But, before getting there we had a shitty ride through Jersey. We got lost, and we were not the only ones we would soon find out. At least three people stopped at a hotel before we did asking for directions. Actress Suzi Lorianne had her own issues getting there including a three hour trip! This despite that this con is closer to us than the other Jersey shows! Plus, we had to pay for parking. But, Saturday Nightmares said they were sorry. That means it's a hotel thing. Regardless, the fun we had made up for it!

The Sheraton hotel, where it was being held at, is where they used to have Chiller at. Being there bought back some memories for me.

The first person I went up to was the beautiful Erica Anderson of A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child. This tall and gorgeous woman was a sight to behold.

I finally got to meet House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects star and all around awesome dude: Sid Haig!!! He signed my Rejects DVD which right now has autographs from him, Ginger Lynn, William Forsythe, and Ken Foree!

We then went to the Wonton Baby screening, but a future post will have more on the movie and it's cast.

The last star I went up to was lovely and very sweet Jewel Shepard. As beautiful as she looked in Return of the Living Dead, she is even more stunning and sexy now. She was one of the main reasons I came to this show. She talked to me for a while, and was so much fun to take pics with. She's awesome!!! I really can't say enough good things about her.
The next posts pertaining to this con will be about Wonton Baby and the zombie crawl, so stayed tuned!

I'm Thankful For

So, tomorrow most of us will be eating Thanksgiving dinner. We'll be enjoying shit loads of food, drinking wine, and all that good stuff. And, while we are all grateful for the good stuff in our lives, there is some stuff, I'm grateful for that I probably won't be mentioning at the table. But, I can thank God, right here! Score!

Hot Asian Girls- If you read this blog regularly or know me (whether it be in real life or through social networks), then my love for beautiful Asian women should come as no shocker to you. I pick a babe every month to be the Hot Asian of the Month, and it's with good reason, that I dedicate so much love to them here. To me, they are the most beautiful women in the world, and with examples like Grace Park, Jamie Chung, Gail Kim, Asa Akira, London Keyes, Jessica Bangkok, Tila Tequila, Kelly Hu, etc is there any wonder? Honestly, I am always grateful when a TV show (Hawaii Five 0 and Nikita) or non-Asian movie (Sorority Row, Priest) has a beautiful Asian woman in it. Events are made better too, when beautiful Asian women are present. In fact, every thing is better with a stunning Asian woman! So, more should take heed, of this. I mean how many interchangeable blondes with big boobs and blue eyes (no offense to blondes with blue eyes and big tits) does the world really need?

Metal Music- To me, there is NO better type of music. Many say music is their lives, it certainly is for me. With it's many sub-genres (hard rock, goth, hair, industrial, progressive, power, grindcore, deathcore, metalcore, nu-metal, my favs- thrash, death, black, and traditional, and a never ending list more), metal has a song or band or style to fit all of my moods. And, if you truly love this music it's in your heart forever. It's more than just music, it's a life style, a culture, it kicks your fucking ass!! So, metalheads, raise those devil horns and give thanks for THE greatest form of music in the history of mankind!!!


Video Games- Or more specifically, for me, my beloved X-Box 360. I have not loved a system this much in ages. Video games provide hours of pleasure and joy. Life is made better by video games. So, no matter what system you are on, you should be grateful, for you know this to be true. Just go and play Dead Rising 2, and you know will the way!!!






Porn- Ahh, porn. That sign says it best. And, unlike dating your heart won't ever be broken. There is porn for all tastes. And, I know what I like, and who I like, when it comes to smut. And, sure not every porno is as great as the other, but at least I know if get something with Asa Akira, she will be getting fucked. Ahh, Asa, I am grateful just for you! Oh, and the tissue industry is surely gratefully for porn. Do you think the head of Kleenex gives thanks for the existence of porn at the table? Hmm, inquiring minds want to know!



Conventions- I've been going to cons since 1990. The first one I went to was Fangoria's Weekend of Horrors. Those are no longer held, and in their final run sucked more dick than a Tijuana whore. But, a great con is something to fucking always be thankful for. I have met lots of famous, and not so famous, people at them. I have also made friends, some of them quite good, at these shows. The pic on the left is from this Oct.'s Big Apple Con. It's the still beautiful Sunny and me. OK, that con was sort of whack. In fact, had I not hung with my friend Kristie it would have out right blown, but I met her and Clare (Glory from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) Kramer. They were both mad cool and totally hot! The best cons, to m,e remain Chiller (even if I had to miss their Oct. show) and the best of ALL: Exxxotica! God, how I LOVE Exxxotica!! That's me with the gorgeous Jessica Bangkok, at this year's amazing show, by the way.

Anyways, hope you all have a safe and HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Enjoy it with your loved ones. Take care, my dear friends and readers. I'm grateful that you guys read my stuff. And, that I mean. :)
