First fall beer of the season (Magic Hat's HEX)

As some of you may know, I'm a beer junkie. Especially for fall brews. I go gaga when I see Shipyard's Pumpkinhead in stores. I love the taste of pumpkin beers to death! After a while though, the taste starts to get to me since I don't stop drinking them once released from the breweries. (they started shipping two weeks ago to store and won't stop till Oct 31st) That's why I've been on the hunt for rich tasting fall ales that are not loaded with pumpkin. Magic Hat tends to put out a seasonal package called the Night of the Living Dead 12 pack. It's pretty much a Halloween party pack. It includes Magic Hat #9, hI.P.A., Humble Patients and of course Magic Hat's fall beer Hex. Hex is not to bad. It has more of a bitter taste then most fall beers but keeps that Magic Hat rich taste. But after the first beer it can get kind of bland.

MAGIC HAT'S HEX: OURTOBERFEST get's a C+

I think I may post a review on all the fall beers I drink on here, so keep an eye out!

Come meet me this Friday!

Not sure if some of you know this, but I host an Asian horror panel at AFO (Anime Festival Orlando) every year. It's pretty much a clip show of some the best and goriest scenes to come out of Asia over the past year. Since I screen so many of these films for myself over the year I figure it's my way of giving back. And it's fun to see the looks on kids faces.

So come on out! It's this Friday (Aug 5th) @ 11pm in the Wyndham hotel on iDrive. (It's the same hotel as Spooky Empire)

And as always, I always have a special treat at the end for everyone. After that you will probably find me by the pool with a drink in my hand. Sayonara!

Gotta do something to pass the time during guitar solos.

Hey I'm singing in a music video!

What happened to social networking?

When you'er in the press and media lime light it seems like you have no real place to type out true thoughts. Facebook, Twitter, even the lost and forgotten Myspace is now cluttered with people I hardly or don't even know at all (granted that's my fault for adding fans of the radio show and band).

I had a conversation with a close friend the other day talking about just this topic. I may want to express things in my life that are a tad private but not necessarily let anyone see them. Sure, I could open word press and just start jotting down stuff. But it's just not the same. Back in high school I had a Livejournal and would type everything in it. From film and video game news to problems in school and life. Seems like nowadays everything is 140 characters or less. You cannot really express yourself anymore. Twitter is a good tool for getting quick and easy news out and about without cluttering a feed, but I need the alternative sometimes.

Times like now.

Goodbye 2010

This picture pretty much sums up my 2010. Though I would like to point out the good in the year.

Thanks Scott Pilgrim for being the best movie of the year. I rarely pick up films the DAY they come out. You were enjoyable to the highest degree blowing out all the shit in the box offices this summer.

Thanks NBC-Universal for having me back. It's sad but without you, my life is an empty boring pit of setting up projectors at the Convention Center everyday and just counting down the days until I die. You excite and challenge me on a day to day bases and I couldn't be happier to be back.

Thanks Bloody-Disgusting for the opportunity to work with you. I love doing the radio show and getting people involved in horror (good or bad). Without you I'm just another fanboy....which I still pretty much am.

Thanks to my parents for helping me out in 2011. Even when times were tough for you both, you still somehow helped me out as much as you could. I appreciate that very much and hope to return that favor very soon.

Thanks to all my friends. You all have stuck around me from day one and I cannot appreciate that enough. We have all been friends for along time and we make drinking a little less depressing. But I'm sad to say this is probably our last year together. 2011 is the year of progression. Allot of you have plans and futures to uphold. I see our group dwindling drastically. But this is not a bad thing. It just means change, and change is good. I hope to meet allot more new faces in this coming year but I will never forget the ones that taught me how to drink like a champ.

Thanks to my roommates for paying rent and bills on time. This was our first year together and even though we three are all very different, we can still live together nicely (for the most part). I hope to renew for another year in 2011 and continue the pool parties in the summer.

Thanks to my band Sharkteeth for putting up with one another when shit got rough. We all could be in different side projects now but we have just stuck with it because we like the music we make and we know it wouldn't be better anywhere else. I hope to see us learn a bunch of new music and blow up 2011. (Just hope we can find a place to practice)

Thanks Dragon*con for (still) being the #1 thing I look forward to every year. Even though Star Wars Celebration came close, you still showed me you had a few grand tricks up your sleeve. I met possibly the perfect girl for me at Dragon and it felt real. Really real. But due to distance complications we ended at a good point rather then dwindling the distance into a bad break up. I miss her more and more every day, but I know I'll be able to see her again next year and have a friendly hello with her.


What do I hope to achieve in the new year? I'd like to further my career in movies for sure. With the friends I have and my job giving me more opportunities every day, I hope to end up in Los Angeles soon working with media or entertainment. I wont pin point it to one thing but I know anything in the industry will make me happy.


You will see my name popping up on imdb more and more in 2011 so stay tuned.

Moving forward?

Finding myself questioning everything today. Not sure if it was watching the mediocre Four Boxes that did it to me or what? Feeling like all my close friends have pretty much abandoned me because I'm not in their faces 24/7 to hang with me. Questioning my future and living situation. Am I comfortable or just lazy? Is going back to Universal next week a step forward in my future or a step back? I really, really would like to step out of this funk I have been in.
