Twas the week before Christmas and I decided to have a week of random Christmas related blog posts leading up until the day the jolly old fat one gets his rotund rump stuck in someone's chimney. The first of these is a song that I end up singing while wrapping presents every year. Who cares about "Rudolph" when I can still be down with the clown during this warm and fuzzy time of year!

Hesitate- Stone Sour
I strayed away from listening to Stone Sour for a while, because I felt they had become a little "radio rock". This entire album changed that opinion for me. It goes back to what made me love "Bother" and some of their other earlier work so much.

Dead End (2003)
For this Terror Tuesday post I figured I'd watch something that I've seen on Netflix for a while now. When using Netflix to choose a horror film, I'm not usually thinking it will be a great one. My ultimate reason is that most people have Netflix now and could potentially watch it if info I have posted here interested them.
I will begin by saying I can not remember a time that I peeked through my fingers while watching a movie in a very, very long time. Maybe it's the season. Maybe I just got a little scared because I watched most of it alone. Either way, I will be glad to let you know, if you want to watch something that can scare even me...this is it! I thought the driving would get monotonous, but with everything happening, it never bored me. The ending is predictable on some level if you explore your imagination, but I suggest you just watch the movie and enjoy it. Don't spoil it for yourself.

James Erwin
Today I lost someone who has made me laugh and cry, made me angry and crazy happy. I can say he was a friend at the worst of times and my big brother in the best. I've cleaned his blood off of carpet, threatened to beat him up for being stupid and shared his joy when things were going right. Our conversations have been countless and I've gained so much from them over the years. Looking back, I know things are better for him now, but that doesn't make the hurt any less. In the past few days of him being in the hospital, people have come together to talk about the good times, bad times and all out insane times. Through divorces and drugs, love and hate, losses and wins, he was always there for everyone. Not many can say they were the same for him. I know some gave up on him without a second glance and for those people I can honestly say, you guys missed out. Upon seeing a guy covered in tattoos, some of you turned your nose up, the rest of us...saw Swerve.
I can remember meeting him back when I was a kid. He was nuts. Years later, he was still nuts. One of the most fun loving and sweet men to ever end up in my life. I don't know any other friend I've talked with like I did Swerve. He listened to my problems and cried with me through what seemed like endless turmoil. I listened and when he asked for advice, I gave it as freely as I knew how. Sometimes it seemed like he didn't listen, other times I realized my advice just wasn't the right advice for him. My last conversation with him was wonderful. We discussed how it sucks getting old and going gray, the need for me to finally get my Batman tattoo, religion, and mostly how great he felt being sober. I told him I loved him and that he made me proud. He would always be my big crazy brother. I promised I'd be back to finish my Alice stuff and I'd get a couple more tattoos as soon as I could. I can care less if he stayed sober. I can care less if you liked him at all. I just wanted to type into words what a great friend he was to me.
No matter what...I love you, Bro. I always will. I hate that I will never hear your goofy laugh or your silly sayings. I hate that we can't have five hour chats about Dali and art. I hate that we can't get all Juggalo together. I know you are more at peace now than you ever were here on Earth, but I would give anything to have another chance to sit and do all of those things. You have no idea the impact you've left on those you came in contact with. Positive or negative, no one can say you were boring. I just hope you knew how much you were loved and what a ripple effect you had on all of us. MMFCL!

American Werewolf in London (1981)
I think it's safe to say this film has been a favorite of mine since I was six or seven. My love of gore started way back when I was a little blonde, blue eyed pastor's daughter. A lot has changed in that time, the least of all being my haircolor. One thing will always remain the same. I love this movie. On some secret level, I feel actual pain during the transformation scene. I don't think any special effects before or since has made me actually hurt for a character more. When I think of movies my two little boys must see, this tops the list. It is scary, but has that great early 80s humor most horror movies had then. I miss the good old days.

Happy Birthday to me...Again?
Corey Taylor as a birthday gift would be the greatest ever. I'm not saying I'd like to hold him against his will in my basement, but I will say...that may be fun. I'm not your run of the mill groupie fangirl. I don't obsess over bands or musicians. I do enjoy music and I do find men attractive. When the two pair for me, it's Corey. Gone are the days of my youth when a pretty face could draw my attention. I need substance and he has it. His lyrics are clever, dark and full of passion derived from life experiences. What I wouldn't give to have the ability to let out what kills me inside the way he seems to do almost effortlessly. I've spent well over a decade being a fan in many different areas and don't see that changing anytime soon.
So when all of you think what the perfect gift for me is this year. I've given you the answer ahead of time. It's simple...Corey Taylor. Thanks! And if for some reasons my life long fear of dying at 27 is right...I love you all! If not, Hello 28 (you suck already).

Cindy Lou Who...Who?
I was looking at silly pics on DamnLOL and came across this one.
So I did some searching for her now, and this is what I've found. Cindy Lou Who (Taylor Momsen) is now all grown up and badass as hell! It's okay boys, go ahead and drool. She was 18 this year.

Although I've spent most of my life a fat kid, I'm not a fan of snack cakes. Especially Snoballs or Cupcakes. I'm down for the occasional Star Crunch or maybe even a random Cosmic Brownie. That being said, I want to introduce you to what will become my new favorites (even if I never eat one)
Yep, that's right. It's real! Not only are there Optimus Prime Snoballs.
I'm not sure where I can find these, but if you see them in a store near you, please let me know in the comments below! Sean and Cory will enjoy eating them and I'll enjoy keeping the boxes for years to come to commemorate my dorkiness.

Gears of War 3
After getting to play the beta a few months ago, I've been waiting patiently to play Gears 3. I won't be making the trip to Game Stop tonight at midnight, but my preorder is in and I'm just waiting to get my hands on it. I've played the previous Gears games and must say the Beta for 3 was the most impressive so far. I can't wait to lose hours in the upcoming weeks playing again. Happy Early Birthday to me indeed!!!

Charles Miller- Maybach Music 2
With the upcoming release of Millers new album, I thought I'd share something from the first. He's a great friend of mine who never fails to speak in passing. Not your usual "hometown" rapper, he truly does his music for the sake of art. I'm sharing this and asking if you want a copy of the cd, just let me know. If you want him to come do a gig for free, let me know. I'll see what I can do. On the real, he's good people and I couldn't be more proud to share his music on my blog.

The Last Lovecraft: Relic of Cthulhu (2009)
Where to begin...
This movie is horrible. I wanted to give it a chance because of my love of Lovecraft, but the stupid cgi effects and dialogue ruins it for me in the first five minutes. I rarely review anything that I don't like, because I feel that being that negative only brings more negativity. In this case take my review as a warning and don't waste your time. The name had me hopeful for something great and instead it was like a cheap pork chop biscuit from the local Arab gas station, better known as shit. I'm posting the trailer so you can see at your own risk why this is a no for me. Watch it or not but don't say I didn't warn you!

Doghouse (2009)
Admittedly I didn't expect to like this. I thought it would be a man-hating, bitch fest and hesitantly tuned in to Netflix with my bf, my roommate and a friend. (all men) I thought I'd get some laughs at the expense of men and make fun of how true to life the men in the movie were, but that wasn't the case at all. The movie begins with the guys getting together to cheer up one of their buddies that's going through a break up. Drama from all of the significant others ensues and so does the hilarity for the viewer. We laughed at the stupid dialogue and hijinks throughout and I came to the conclusion that this movie would become an "own" for me.
I definitely want you guys to at least watch it. It's best viewed with a group of friends...maybe with some drinks of your choice and lots of laughs.

Frailty (2001)
Oh how I wish I never let anyone borrow this movie, or at least knew who it was so that I could hunt them down and get it back. It's twisty, creepy and dark. I loved it immediately. I think my Terror Tuesday posts are becoming a wish list of movies I've lost and want again.
Either way. It's definitely an own for me. Check it out for yourself if you get the chance.

Working for tha Weekend
This weekend, I will be getting a much needed break from the monotony of work, responsibility, drama, and stress to enjoy a trip to Atlanta with some of my favorite people. To get me ready for this event I'll be listening to alot of great music. Just want to share what's been on repeat in my "driving" playlist lately. Don't knock it till you try it...driving to Pendulum! (Or in my current state, posting to my blog while listening to Pendulum. Either way)
Pendulum- "The Other Side"
Make sure you listen in 1080! Don't crap it out in 380!

Can't Hardly Wait (1998)
With my little sister graduating high school and moving in with me, the Can't Hardly Wait quotes are abundant in this house. This movie is full of stupid, immature humor which we can all use from time to time. Let's go Way Back to the 90s and remember what High School was like for the rest of us.
Here are a few of the random quotes you can expect to say for the rest of your life.
..."He has hair...and he wears tee shirts, sometimes"....
..."would you like to touch my penis?"....
"You know who else I like that didn't get much play? Velma from Scooby-Doo. She was cool. She was a hip, hip lady."
"Woman, this is all *your* fault. Come bargin' in here like a friggin' moose."
"Nobody drink the beer, the beer has gone bad!"
"I better double bag it. I don't know where that girl been."
And the one that gets the most use around here...
"I can't feel my legs, I HAVE NO LEGS!"

Cabin Fever (2002)
I've no idea why I waited so long to see this movie. I watched Hostel as soon as it was released and realized what a genius Eli Roth was from the beginning. This is no different. It's funny, gory and full of craziness like we've all come to love from Roth. I should have watched it years ago!
Enjoy this Terror Tuesday and curl up with Cabin Fever.
