the upcoming year

With 2013 just on the horizon Ive been already thinking of important things like.....my next years Hal-con costume. The first year for Hal-con my costume was crappiest and put together in a afternoon (Casey Jones from TMNT), my last years ice king costume was a vast improvement although there were better ice kings this year I was the only one last year so yay me, This year I kinda took a big step back I had a plan that just did not pan out so a very hastily Doc Ock costume was my last ditch effort. It wasn't ideal but hey it was better then nothing and for what it was it was okay.

So I really want to put a alot of effort into my Hal-con 2013 costume. My first idea and the one I really want to do and do a great job is the original Dino Megazord from power rangers, but just like everything creative the mental picture and idea in my head is almost flawless but alas I might not have the talent to pull off such a impressive costume.

Now where does that leave me? I have been thinking of other cosplay's, Silent Bob and his alter ego Bluntman, also in the same Kevin Smith vein is the DC villian Onomatopoeia (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Onomatopoeia_%28New_Earth%29) a very unique villian who only speaks in Onomatopoeia's.

Something I plan on doing every sunday or so is a quick review of all the TV shows ive watched this week and rate them (spoiler free):

Castle S05E07:  3 out 5, a decent episode but nothing that really caught me and said "new" episode same Castle, Kate and the lot its not a bad thing.
Best moment: the last scene of the episode with Kate

Burn notice S06E13: 4/5, Burn notice is starting to heat up after its mid season break for the first time since the show started I feel the gang is in way over their head and it doesn't look good for them.
Best moment: Bruce Campbell being as much of a smart ass and funny guy as always

That is about it for now, later days

first post

So, I've been waiting to do something creative for while. So many thoughts my mind so little talent for what I wanna do. that is where this blog comes in. This will be the random thoughts of a mad man who will most
 likely talk more about very geeky things then anything else.

Assassin's creed III:
I wanted to kinda to a review of the game but to be honest I barely played any of the main game, that is because the multiplayer is so damn fun. The trill of the hunt and anger of your kill being poached or the straight up rage when you get stabbed with a hidden blade right when your about to poison your long stalked target. At times a true game of cat and mouse.

Guarding the globe:
I am a huge fan of Robert Kirkman, walking dead seems to be huge right now but in my opinion his best work is Invincible and that entire universe, guardians of the globe, tech jacket, wolf-man all amazing, some of the best if not the best superhero stories told. Violent and bloody but also sometimes very down to earth considering what the book is about. I would suggest this series to anyone and everyone who loves superheroes and the like.

Skyfall:
the newest bond movie has come out and its great. best movie of the year? no avengers is still better but I say its better then batman was but also not as good as casino royale. Skyfall is alot more over all action packed with some great acting from Judi Dench as M, best parts of the movie are the nods (some subtle some not) to the bond movies of yester year.

now I am gonna close on some random thoughts I had.
I wanna get a radio play style comic book series off the ground.
podcasting is something that I really wanna get into
new laptop seems pretty sweet so far hellz yeah!

later days
