Has anyone heard of Twitter? It's the new "Big thing." For those that don't know:

Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read other users' updates known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 bytes in length which are displayed on the user's profile page and delivered to other users who have subscribed to them. Senders can restrict delivery to those in their circle of friends or, by default, allow anybody to access them. Users can send and receive tweets via the Twitter website, Short Message Service (SMS) or applications such as Tweetie, Twitterrific, Twitterfon, TweetDeck and feedalizr. The service is free to use over the Internet, but using SMS may incur phone service provider fees.

Twitter... It sounds like a colloquialism for a body part or a swear word. Twit, Tweet, Twot... At any rate, I'm just getting used to blogging on a once/twice a week basis. This sounds like too much. I don't need to alert everyone about what's going on in my personal life every five minutes.

8:00pm- I just got home.
8:05pm- I'm watering the grass.
8:10pm- I'm picking up dog poop from my lawn.
8:12pm- I threw it at the neighbor's kids because I know it came from their dog.
8:15pm- I'm on the throne taking a dump and reading Maxim. *plop*
8:25pm- I'm eating dinner.
8:26pm- OMG! I forgot to wash my hands... and I'm having meatloaf.
8:56pm- I'm turning on the TV to watch the American Idol results.
9:55pm- Scott didn't get eliminated?!?
10:05pm- I'm getting ready for bed.
10:15pm- I'm getting a tea bag.
10:30pm- I'm catching Z's.
12:34am- I dreamt that I was having a threesome with Leah Dizon and Megan Good when they suddenly morphed into Vampires and chased me into the street butt-naked.

What's I'm saying is this whole Twitter revolution is just too much. People don't need to know what the hell you're doing every second of every minute of every hour.

It was quite humorous to hear that Milwaukee Bucks forward, Charlie Villanueva was caught and reprimanded by Coach Scott Skiles for "Tweeting" during halftime of a game against the Celtics.



He just had to alert his fans that: "We're playing the Celtics, tie ball game at da half. Coach wants more toughness. I gotta step up." I'd be kind of embarrassed to tell my fans that Glen "Big baby" Davis is knocking me around like a ping pong ball. In any event, do you Twitter?



My Birthday weekend was great! Thanks to everyone for the B-day wishes. I went to Monterey with my fiance sporting the brand, spanking new Oakleys she sprung for me:



We went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium for a few hours and smelled the stinch of sea life and saw the number one killer of idiots that venture out where they don't belong.







Sea Horses REALLY exist!



Afterwards, we hung out at the Wharf and walked along the beach for a bit, tooks some pics and enjoyed the scenery.





That's me in my Green Lantern jersey, GL hat and Green Oakley's. I look so cool. Speaking of Green Lantern, check out this ultra cool TRAILER for the animated movie.

We wanted to go to Bubba Gumps and get BOHICA'ed for a $50 meal, but it was too crowded so we went elsewhere. Still, we had a nice time hanging out in Monterey, but the drive took forever! It was two and a half hours ONE WAY! It'll probably be the last time I go to Monterey.

I'm sure people wonder why I'm picture crazy. Well, when I attended High School and College, I didn't take many photos so I don't really have any kind of visual documentation of my life during that time period. I've reached a point in my life where I want EVERYTHING photographed just to illustrate, "Yes! I was there and it was something I participated in."

The following day, I had a BBQ at my place for Wrestlemania. The show was just okay, but it was good having friends over. I've lived in my house a smidge over seven years and this was only the 4th time I've had some type of get-together. I hate organizing parties and things because it ticks me off to no end when people no-show. Anyway, just about everyone showed up this time around and we had a pretty good time overall. It was too bad we didn't have more time for video games. Oh yeah! I did give my friend a nice beating in Street Fighter II though. Heh heh.



Zangief for the WIN!!! Legends of Wrestlemania looks like a really fun game. A couple of my friends had a blast with it, but all they did was punch each other. There were VERY few grapple moves. Still, I just might pick it up.



Baseball Season has officially begun and the San Francisco Giants are UNDEFEATED!!!! We had a nice offensive showing against the Milwaukee Brewers in the tune of a 10-6 victory.



I just had to throw that in because it'll probably be the last time I can say it. Even though we won our first game and Home opener, the reigning Cy Young winner, Tim Lincecum got knocked around and out in the 3rd inning.



Still, we won and in sports, "A win is a win!"



Here's something I just don't understand:



Why on Earth did she take him back?!? It's not like Rihanna couldn't find another good-looking guy that would treat her well. Is his pipe-laying ability THAT good OR does love REALLY conquer all... including a right cross to the chin. OR is she just stupid? While we're on the subject of the Caribbean Goddess:









I thought she looked better with the longer hair... Maybe it's just me. I would happily be her Umbrella-ella-ella-eh? I wonder if Chris Brown will avoid jail time since the two have apparently reconciled. Because of his representation and the two getting back together, the Court may show of bit of leniency. If he does go to jail, we'll see if he can "Run it" from some dude named "Tiny" that wants to play 'Hide the Meat.'

Oh yeah! I DID get that tea bag for my Birthday!



What?!? Lipton makes great tea!

Has anyone ever been taught in grade school that if a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it, it doesn't make a sound?



Personally, this is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. Of course it makes a sound! Just because nobody is there to hear it, that doesn't mean it doesn't make a sound! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! If two deaf people are signing and one of them farts, does that mean it didn't happen because nobody heard it? How they can teach such nonsense in school is beyond me... and they wonder why students have such low test scores. This is like a Camel putting its head in the sand. If the Camel puts its head in the sand, will the Lion still eat his ass? Yes!

If someone wants to debate this, I'm willing to hear the other side of this argument... and then prove you wrong. That tree will ALWAYS make a sound.



Over the weekend, I saw Knowing starring Nicholas Cage.



Funny thing- After my lady and I purchased the tickets, we were met by a cute, little girl that checked the tickets before they let you in the theater. She looked up at me and said with an ear to ear smile, "Woooow! You're huge!" The pig in me almost said, "I knooooow... " like J.J. from Good Times but I didn't want to get hit. She then went on to ask if I played professional sports because of my height... and I'm only what, 6'3" maybe 6'4"? It's this type of attention that I frequently get that makes me wonder if I'll be able to handle being Married. I'm not going to lie, I LOVE the attention that women pay me... and that's not out of vanity, conceit or arrogance. Wherever I go, I seem to have women flirting with me... even with my lady standing there! That's one of the fears I have about getting Married. I'm afraid I'll have a moment of weakness and screw it up... and this girl was REALLY cute and someone you would LOVE to have ride you like a Bronco Buster. Just some of the many thoughts I have rattling around inside my head. Sylent's inner thoughts...

At any rate, back to Knowing. Without giving too much away, I thought it was a pretty good flick. It was thought-provoking, compelling and had enough action to keep you entertained, however the ending left a bit to be desired. It has one of those ambiguous endings that make you wonder what the hell they were thinking... and I never knew Depeche Mode were Earth's saviors.



I like Depeche Mode, but come on! Anyone that's seen the flick knows exactly what I'm talking about. I did like Cage's co-star, Rose Byrne. She's really cute and has that Girl-next-door look to her.









I also saw Transporter 3 for the first time over the weekend.



I thought it was *meh*. It had plenty of action, but most of it was unrealistic and WAY over the top and the story was kind of weak. Parts of the movie seemed like it switched from Transporter to Crank. Crank... Does anyone know the colloquialism for crank? No? Here's a hint:



Anyway, the girl in Transporter was kind of cute if you dig red heads with freckles...





but overall, the movie falls short, especially considering how good the first Transporter was. They need to quit making these movies while they're ahead... and I like Jason Statham, but damn. He should stick to Martial Arts flicks... and he was ripped out of his mind in this flick. I think he was on Steroids. Nobody gets that ripped that fast.

For the ladies:









Speaking of bad movies, I present to you the Worst Movies of all the times (Santino Marella):



10. Star Wars: The Phantom Menace- If it wasn't for the duel of fates, I would have slept through this entire movie... and don't get me started on that idiot, Jar Jar. Why he's still in the Clone Wars is beyond me.



9. Superman IV: The Quest for Peace- The concept of the Nuclear Man was actually kind of cool, but the movie just sucked. Let me get this straight... Superman begins to die because he gets scratched?!? Uh, yeah. For the sake of Superman and Christopher Reeve's memory, let's just pretend this crap doesn't exist. Well, too late.



8. Steel- How this crap was ever made into a serious film is beyond me. I think this movie is what ASS tastes like.



7. Godzilla 1998- If you knew absolutely nothing about Godzilla, this movie might have been pretty good for you, but as a HUGE Godzilla fan that grew up watching the Chiller Diller Creature Features after Soul Train, this movie was a steaming pile of manure. Godzilla is NOT a giant Lizard... and the Japanese went out of their way to make sure the Lizard got its just desserts in "Godzilla: Final Wars."



6. Street Fighter- I STILL feel as if I wasted my money on this crap... and it was over a decade ago! If you want to see a GOOD Street fighter, watch the anime version. THAT is a good movie. The fight between Chun Li and Vega is epic and one of the best fight scenes in anime history.



5. Double Team- Another Van Damme monstronsity. Everything in this flick is bad... Acting, dialogue, action... and just about anything involving Dennis Rodman is garbage.



4. Van Helsing- Oh, Kate Beckinsale... What have you done? I like both Hugh and Kate, but I'm sorry. This flick was awful. It's an adventure that lives forever in infamy and suckitude.



3. Showgirls- Even the gratuituous nudity couldn't save this crap. Everyone wanted to see Elizabeth Berkley's *ahem* assets, but most couldn't even get that far before walking out.



2. Napoleon Dynamite- I'm sure some, probably most are going to disagre with this choice, but this was one of the few movies that I couldn't stomach. The best part of this movie is hearing "The Promise" at the end by 'When in Rome'. Everything else sucked and very few scenes were funny. You had to be high on weed to enjoy this garbage. "GOSH!"



1. Batman & Robin- The worst piece of crap ever made with an all-star crap cast. This was the only Superhero movie I've ever fallen asleep on... AT HOME! Everyone that participated in this travesty should have been ashamed and volunteered to be lynched and hanged.



Did I miss any? I'm sure I did. If so, let me know.

Have a nice day!

What would you do with your winnings?

I'm sure I've covered this particular topic before, but the answers might have change based on the current state of the economy. Depending on how much I won, I would definitely do my part in stimulating the economy. First, foremost and most importantly, I would pay off my House. With the mortgage crisis in high-gear, my home is currently $60,000 under water. It would be such of relief to pay off my Mortgage. I've been pretty good about the credit cards and don't have any other debt than bills and my House so that's not a worry. I would probably pay off my fiance's Parent's house to liberate her from their diabolical clutches.

The next thing I would do is stop working. I always hear people say, "Oh, if I won the lottery, I would still work...." They are so full of crap! I call BS unless you're doing something fulfilling OR something you've studied for. While I'm thankful to be employed during this horrid economic downturn, it would be nice to have a career in what I went to school for, Computer Graphic Design. There's no creativity in legal work. You do what you're told and that's it. Everything is mundane and formulaic and at the end of the day, it's not fulfilling. I would additionally love to say goodbye to my 5-hour a day commute. Yes, I said 5 hours a day. During the work week, I spend 9 hours at home and the other 15 commuting and working. What a life.

Next, I would get a personal trainer and get my lazy, fat ass in shape. I'm starting to get a gut for crying out loud! It's not because I eat like a pig or anything. I just don't exercise and work out like I used to when I was young and virogous. Just a few years ago, I used to work out every day, 7 days a week, but the 5 hour commute has worn me down. Now, the only work-out I get is when I tend to the yard. I've lost the desire and will so I could definitely use a personal trainer to light a fire under my ass so I can get back into shape.

I would certainly do a spot of travelling. Aside from going to Vegas a bunch of times, I really haven't been anywhere. I've always wanted to go to Paris, France and see the Eiffel Tower and a few of the museums, the Louvre in particular.





I've never been to New York, let alone the East Coast. I've always wanted to see the Statue of Liberty.



This might sound corny coming from me, but I've always wanted to go on an Alaskan Cruise and see the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights). I used to study Astronomy when I was younger and was fascinated by the Aurora Borealis.



I've never been outside of the US and I've always wanted to check out the white beaches of Cancun, Mexico and take a tour to see the Pyramids... and hope Vines don't try to eat me. (Trivia: What bad movie was that from?) I would also like to impress the locals with my Spanish.



I've always wanted to see Mt. Rushmore. I realize there's pretty much nothing else in South Dakota, but it's something that I'll probably never get a chance to do so why not?



The last thing I would do is BUY all the women in my banner. They will be my personal Harem. Leah's new name would be Miss Monday, Maria would be Miss Tuesday, Kristin would be Miss Wednesday and so on. I know there are only 6. That's intentional because on the seventh day, I shall rest.



Movies I'm looking forward to:

Knowing- I'm not a fan of Nicolas Cage, but I like apocalyptic movies like Armageddon, Independence Day, Deep Impact and Day After Tomorrow where the Earth is in danger of being destroyed.



12 Rounds- This movie actually looks pretty good, but might be a copycat of Speed.



Fast & Furious- I really like the F&F flicks and since Jordana Brewster is back, I'll certainly be checking this one out... and her bath water is still mine!



Crank 2: High Voltage- I like Jason Statham, but I thought the first Crank was crap. They should have called it Crack since you had to be high to enjoy that mess. Maybe this one will redeem the last one and Statham's good name.



X-Men Origins: Wolverine- Hugh Jackman IS Wolverine. Can't wait for this one! I can't help but wonder if this was made just to exclude Halle Berry since she vehemently protested for a large role in the last X-men flick that failed miserably.



Ladies, just for you...









I so wish I had his body. "TORNADO CLAW!!!"

Star Trek- I'm not really a Trekkie, but I've seen every Star Trek movie ever made. With Sylar playing Spock and special effects that appear mind-blowing, this is a must-see for this Sci-Fi geek.



Cutie pie Zoe Saldana will be playing the role of Lt. Uhura.









My God, I would so hit that.

Terminator Salvation- I wonder how much Bale will be cursing in this movie.



Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen- As a big fan of the G1 Transformers, I'll be checking this out at some point. Too bad Optimus Prime is always getting his exhaust pipe kicked in these movies. On a positive note, the delectable and Single Megan Fox will be back for us to drool over so maybe it won't be a total loss.



So yummy! Even though I'm not a fan of the tattoos, I'll post any pic of Megan where she's showing her pretty little toes. Yes, I have a female toe fetish. Sue me.





Since there were a few disappointed people in my last blog (not saying any names) because there were no hotties, here is a relative newcomer to the scene, Miranda Kerr (No relation to Steve Kerr). She's an Aussie Victoria's Secret model.













Ooh Wee! (The current song in my head from watching Hitch and Harold & Kumar) So yummy! I so love her sweet dimples. The lovely, light eyes, petite body and tiny little face... She definitely has that adorable look to her; Someone you would want on top, grinding the Man juice out of you.

Oh! Rafiki has a couple of things that he wants to show you.




***SPOILER***

Have a nice day!

Everyone apparently with the flick clearly in front of every other film in theaters grossing $55.6 million over the weekend.



Just a brief review without giving anything of substance away- This film isn't for everyone. It's very graphic and contains a bit of nudity that's comparable to softcore pornography. In addition, the violence is off the chart with bone-chilling, bone-breaking fight scenes. It's a pretty faithful adaptation to Moore's 1985 graphic novel, but had a few scenes left out that will make it to the animated DVD.



I really enjoyed the film (not because of the nudity), but that was because I read the book and already had prior knowledge of the plot and characters. I'm not sure the average person would enjoy this movie without a bit of background information. Upon the first read of the graphic novel, I quit after ten pages because I knew nothing about it. Very few Superhero books start from a clean slate of characters so the initial read left me a tad confused. To add, there was an insane amount of reading. Modern day Comics are art oriented with very light reading, but this was book contained a heavy dose of panels filled with dialogue. This is not a book you can flip through to catch the gist of it. You actually have to read each panel to completely understand everything. The ultra cool trailer is what gave me the incentive to go back and re-read the book.

While watching the movie, there were two groups of people that walked out in the middle, seemingly of disgust. My fiance who had no prior knowledge of Watchmen absolutely hated the movie and stomached through only because I was enjoying it. I spoke with some folks that saw the movie at the local comic book shop and the ones that didn't know anything aside from what they saw in the trailer were hopelessly lost and confused.

Bottom line: If you hadn't read the book or don't have that Comic Book part of the brain, I wouldn't recommend this movie. Going in green isn't a good idea unless you're a Comic fan that gravitates towards movies that contain extreme violence. For most, some background information is almost required for you to enjoy this flick.

Did anyone watch the Watchmen over the weekend? If so, what were your impressions?







I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't like to Spring Ahead and take that one hour hit to my sleep cycle. Being someone that wakes up at 4:40am, that one hour is a huge difference. When I was younger, I didn't really care and enjoyed the extra daylight because that meant more time I got to fool around outside, but now that I'm older, I kind of like it getting dark early... or maybe I'm just strange like that.



Did anyone forget to set their clocks an hour ahead? I can't see how anyone would forget since the news stations hammered it into our heads the entire weekend.



Have a nice day!

First off, I know there were a few people that blogged about the new "Lights On/Off" feature, but what are your final thoughts on the function? PASS or FAIL?

My thoughts: Right idea, wrong execution. The concept is cool with the ability to change your preferences, but it still FAILS. Where we post is where we have the issue, NOT the borders. We're rarely looking at the borders and if you have your favorites button clicked, you can't even see the borders. If they changed it so you could have the middle of the screen with the lights off, that would be exactly what we we've been clamoring for... and what about the smileys and the fonts?



Their failure wasn't EPIC. I just like Darth Vader.



Speaking of Darth Vader, over the weekend, I went to the 2009 San Francisco WonderCon. Since just about everyone says I resemble Lawrence Fishburne, I decided to play off that and dress up as Morpheus from The Matrix. Again.



Since everyone has already seen my ugly mug, I'll share a few pics from the show and highlight some of the celebrities I got to meet:

Adam West- Dude charged $50 for a photo and autograph!! Geez! He's not THAT relevant.


C.J. Graham- The guy behind the mask in Friday the 13th.


The Honky Tonk Man- He's Cool, he's cocky, he's bad. The other guy is my buddy from Utah.


Greg "the Hammer" Valentine- Dude is in pretty bad shape. All the falls, injuries and bumbs from wrestling has killed this guy's mobility.


Dawn Marie- She's pregnant for those wondering. She was really nice and friendly. We talked to her for about 10 minutes. After she gives birth, she plans on getting back into Wrestling.


Erin E-surance- Or at least the chick behind the voice.


Jasika Nicole from Fringe- She's so adorable, but was charging WAY too much for autographs. I would love to do a make-over on her and straighten her hair. I could make her look amazing.


Jamie Luner- From Growing Pains and Just the 10 of us.


Comic Artist Jim Lee-


That chick from Amazing Race and her Husband- They seemed really cool.


Me and Green Lantern Kicking it-


Hanging out with Green Arrow and Black Canary-


This was a cool group. I don't know who they are, but that Indian babe in the middle is HOT.


Cammy and Catwoman- Catwoman is TALL and Cammy has a sweet body. Threesome, anyone?


Rorschach, son! I'll be seeing him on Friday!


Slave Leia- Damn! I'd be her slave. She was saaa-mokin'!


Wonder Woman- She's a bit thin, but still cute.


Zatana- This girl was gorgeous! Oh, those long, sweet legs... I was hoping she would say, "!em ot evol teews ekaM" Zatana fans will get that.


I don't know who this is, but she's sizzling! Blue hair and all. If someone knows who she's supposed to be, let me know!


One of my highlights of the night was meeting this gorgeous babe. When I saw her, I had to do a double-take. From there on, I was in lust.

She was so attractive that I just had to take a picture with her. We took several pics together and she asked if she could hold my gun. Guess what went through my mind? "Of course, babe! You can most certainly hold my gun." If she asked me to elope, I most certainly would have... and I'd never be seen or heard from again. She could have even had a hideously grotesque Morton's toe and I would have still sucked it like a popsickle.



For those that don't know, Morton's Toe is when the second toe is longer than the big toe. My educational tip for the day. Sylent's blogs... Entertaining and Educational. Hey! That'll be my new blog catchphrase!

This is me kicking it with some hotties cause that's how I roll, son!


My friends, Kato and Superman in a jersey.


Even Sesame Street got into the act. "Yep-yep-yep-yep! Uh-huh-uh-huh!"


Even Jesus was there!


...as well as Godzilla. Too bad Bambi wasn't there for him to stomp on.


I had a blast at the show! Too bad I couldn't attend for more than that one day. I missed Summer Glau on Sunday. Still, attending that one day did wonders for my ego. It's a wonderful feeling when people that don't know who the hell you are want to take photos with you. It's even better when hot chicks walk up and hug you for no reason. I was LOVING that. It's a good thing my lady didn't go because I would have been in trouble. You haven't lived until you've felt like a celebrity... and I was happy to take all those pictures. I even did an interview for some internet company. I just hope they don't twist my words around and make me look like a wierdo.



Got a new banner up! All the same babes aside from the one on the very end. Allow me to introduce you to the lovely Tina Yuzuki. Another mixed babe of Japanese and Portugese desent. Yummy!











She's not voluptuous or anything, but with that face, she's definitely someone you would want on top of you.

Ladies, I haven't forgotten about you. How about the dapper Jeffrey Donovan aka Michael Westin from Burn Notice.









Donovan is such a cool name. Whenever I hear it, I think of Mike Donovan from "V The Final Battle."



...and I don't mean that Beastmaster crap.

Have a nice day!
