No more of 'The Office'?

The Television news for this week:
  • Dunder Mifflin might be losing 2 more employees by the end of next year. NBS is planning an Office spin off where  Dwight K Schrute III,  Rainn Wilson, with his family run the Schrute family beet farm and The Bed & Breakfast that has been featured on the show many times. Also Mindy Kaling, Kelly, might be leaving The Office and heading to Fox for a new show. Plans have said she will be a Bridget Jones type OB/GYN where she tries to balance her personal and professional lives. Could this mean the end for The Office?
  • The Walking Dead Season 2 Midseason Preview picks right up where the the first half left off. I was hoping it was true. Check it out below:
  • The Game of Thrones Season 2 Teaser is out, check it out below:

Liam Neeson is a Boss!!

As I always on the Monday blog, I post the Weekend Box Office Results:
  1. The Grey
  2. Underworld Awakening
  3. One For the Money
  4. Red Tails
  5. Man on a Ledge
Now onto the movie news for this week:
  • Liam Neeson will be in The Dark Knight Rises to reprise his role as Ra’s al Ghul. In his interview with  ShowbizSpy he had nothing to tell. My thoughts are that he will either be in a flash-back or reincarnated using the Lazarus Pit. Knowing Christopher Nolan's style of directing Ra’s al Ghul will be alive again through Flash-backs.
  • The official The Amazing Spider-Man plot synopsis has been released and man does it give some good hints to the storyline of the movie. Check it out below:

    "The Amazing Spider-Man is the story of Peter Parker (Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Martin Sheen) and Aunt May (Sally Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents’ disappearance – leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr Curt Connors (Ifans), his father’s former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors’ alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero."

    From what I have read about Marc Webb's vision for the movie, it will blow the previous series out of the water. It will follow the comic books in a better way and make the movie feel more real (using less special effects and CGI.)

  • Have you ever wondered which Studio owned which Marvel Character? Well I did some research and found out which one owns which character:
    • 20th Century Fox Owns: Daredevil(Soon to be rebooted with Jason Satehem becoming The Ma Without Fear), Elektra, Fantastic Four, X-Men Mutants/non-mutants
    • Sony Pictures owns: Spiderman and Ghost Rider
    • All other characters are owned by Marvel
  • The Grey to be given and run at the Oscars late this year. I saw that movie this past weekend and man was it amazing! I would give a formal review of it, but I can't say to much or ill start spoiling it. Lets just say it made me rethink buying a Timber wolf and domesticating it
  • Rumor: Captain America 2 may start production later in this year and have a release date in 2014.
  • Steve Spielberg wants to directing a new take on the Story of Moses called Gods and Kings. Plans say that it will be about his birth all the way through getting the Ten Commandments from God. The story is to be a bit Braveheart-ish in a sense. Could this turn out as good as he hopes?
  • Joe Carnahan, director of The A-Team and The Grey, wants to tackle a Death Wish reboot. Charles Bronson was originally the main character and now some believe the role should go to Liam Neeson. Could this really be done? Would Liam Neeson be good for the role? If not, then who?

  • Matthew Vaughn is confirmed to direct X-Men: First Class sequel. Hopefully it wont be rushed this time so the film will turn out better.
  • Also check out this awesome fan film. Back in 2009, Casey Pugh asked thousands of Internet users to remake "Star Wars: A New Hope" into a fan film, 15 seconds at a time. And it became a huge hit, check it out here: Star Wars Uncut: Director's Cut

    Las Teclas De Negro

    So I started to listen to The Black Keys and man are they good. If you don't know who they are you have a brain issue. Its just 2 guys, Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney, who back in 2001 started up a band. They are from AkronOhio which is pretty cool to me. To me they are considered to be Blues or Indie rock. As of right now they have released 7 full albums that are really good to listen to, even on a long drive. They have been nominated for 6 Grammy awards and won 3 of those nominations. I have not seen them in concert yet, but I plan to soon.


    All I have to say is these guys are amazing. Check out this videos by them:

    Food, Hot Girls, and Technology

    Today's bit of Technology News:
    • The iPhone 4S and iPad 2 now are able to be jailbroken. After 2 longs months of waiting for a jailbroken iPhone 4S it is now here. The wonderful tool is called Absinthe and is available for Mac, Windows, and Linux. Here is a link to a video tutorial: iPhone 4S/ iPad 2 iOS 5.0.1 JAILBREAK - GreenPois0n Absinthe
    • The White House Google+ profile and is planning a hangout on the 30th of January. Over 37 thousand people have the page in there circles. Maybe this is why there are very few people on Google+ right now? I created a new circle just for them and don't you dare ask what I named it!
    • Evi for iOS is a good Siri substitute if you do not have an iPhone 4S. It is very helpful for finding places in your area and it only costs 99 cents. The only bad thing is that it is not fully integrated into your iOS device like Siri is.
    • Siri spoof and Hot Girls in a Doritos commercial. Check it out here: Doritos® - Hot Wild Girls -- Crash the Super Bowl 2012 Finalist

    Skyrim just got Awesomerer!

    Today's bit of Gaming News:
    • Half-Life Easter Eggs found in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Check out the pictures down below. 
    • Skyrim PC mods are out and some of them are really funny. Here are 2 of my favorites: Skyrim My Little Pony Dragon Mod and (Skyrim) Macho Dragon Mod
    • The 1999 mode in BioShock Infinite will challenge ever gaming skill you have and you will die A LOT!
    • Rumor: Xbox Live is moving away from Microsoft points. Microsoft thinks it will be a little safer with all of the hacked accounts and stolen money issues they have been having. If this happens it will be a smart idea, putting an actual price on DLCs and avatar items is smart.
    • Another Rumor: Rocksteady Studios, the people behind the Batman games, is rumored to be working on a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. If it is true and is at any caliber as the Batman games, i'm pretty sure that the game will be awesome.
    • LittleBigPlanet 2 got some new visitors last week. In the new DLC that was released yesterday new costumes and levels were released around the theme of The Muppets. If you have this game and own a PlayStation 3 this a must own DLC. Check out the Trailer for the DLC here: LittleBigPlanet: The Muppets Premium Level Kit
    • LEGO is now developing Minecraft kits. Smart movie by LEGO since there are over 20 Million registered Minecraft users.
    • Yet another rumor: The Xbox 720 will be 6 times faster then the 360. Now that everything is in HD its smart to make a console that only runs in HD (thats why I think it will be 6 time faster.) I then expect more and more games that are so clear and good that they look and feel real. Microsoft still has not confirmed this rumor though.
    • Apple has sold over 50 Million iOS devices in 3 months. Crazy right, Apple is still the #1 Mobile Gaming device in the world.

    Something Catchy to get you to click this link!!!

    As I always on the Monday blog, I post the Weekend Box Office Results:
    1. Underworld Awakening
    2. Red Tails
    3. Contraband
    4. Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close
    5. Haywire
    Now onto the movie news for this week:
    • The Lone Ranger movie to start filming in New Mexico this March. You know, the movie that has been talked about by Disney for at-least 5 years. Armie Hammer will play John Reid/The Lone Ranger and Johnny Depp will play Tonto.
    • George Lucas is returning to his roots. Right after his newest movie, Red Tail, opens in theaters he announces he will no longer do Blockbuster film-making and return to experimental film-making. This does not account for the Star Wars Saga he is releasing back into theaters as a 3D set. He also states that he will come back if some how Indiana Jones 5 does end up happening.
    • The Expendables 2 will now be PG-13 thanks to Chuck Norris. He insisted that the Fowl language from the film be removed or he would not be apart of the project. This was back when he just got the script and was offered the role. As you can tell, they changed the script and he is still apart of the project. I wouldn't think that this is a bad thing. I mean, it opens up the movie to a wider audience and allows more money to be made.
    • Kristen Wiig is not coming back for Bridesmaids 2 and now the sequel may not be made. The concept of the sequel without Kristen Wiig seemed good, but Judd Apatow now does not want to move forward with the project. Unless he and his cronies can make a good concept happen.
    • Rumor: Hancock 2 may happen and Will Smith is still interested.
    • President of Marvel Studios production Kevin Feige says The Red Skull will not be the main villain  in 'The Avengers'. He also says he may show up in future movies.

    Google=Skynet

    Today's bit of Technology News:
    • OnLive Gaming, the gaming service that streams console games directly to your TV, is coming to Google TV. Smart move for Google since Google TV users have been waiting for something like this since the product launched in October 2010.
    • iPhone 5 is rumored to be thinner the iPhone 4S and have support for 3G and 4G networks.
    • Nissan has released a really cool iPhone case, that can heal itself if it is scratched or dropped. Doesn't mean the iPhone is safe. The Product is called the Nissan Juke.
    • Apple is planning a event in early February to launch iOS 5.1 and iPad 3. Which happens to be around the time of Steve Job's Birthday.
    • You can now create your own memes with you Google+ account. Yea thats right, Google+ isn't out of the running yet. You can take your own picture and add memes to it. You could be the next Meme star. But is this enough to get more people onto Google+? I hope so, its starting to turn into a real guys thing, there aren't to many girl on Google+.

    It’s ‘Elementary’, my dear Watson!

    Today's late bit of TV news:
    Yes, he is pretty Crazy!
    • Alcatraz, how was it? I missed the series premier and I want to know what you people that about it before I spend money to purchase an Episode.
    • CBS wants to create a series about a modern day Sherlock Holmes. This is pretty much that same thing PBS and BBC did in 2010. The series has a pilot in development and the title of the series is Elementary.
    • The CW is working on a Green Arrow TV series. It is suppose to have no connection to the Smallville TV series (even though it should) and supposed to be from the writers of the Green Lantern movie. I don't think this is a smart idea. Why not continue with the great base they had with the character in Smallville.
    • The Walking Dead has released some good stuff in this past week. They released the poster to the right, which is the last action you see in the last half of the second season. AMC has renewed the series for another 16 episode season, which is Awesome! They also released a clip from the upcoming episode called  NebraskaCheck it out here! The series doesn't come back until the 12th of February. Which I am going to miss since I will be out of town at a concert on that night.

    Slappa da bass!

    As I always on the Monday blog, I post the Weekend Box Office Results:
    1. Contraband
    2. Beauty and the Beast (3D)
    3. Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol
    4. Joyful Noise
    5. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
    Now onto the news for this week:
    • J.J. Abrams had an interview this week to talk about Star Trek 2. In the interview he discussed how Star Trek 2 will be converted into 3D after the movie is complete. He says he did it this way to make have the look and feel of the first one. He also talks about people making fun of him for having the Lens Flares in the first film. In my opinion they made the film fell more like it was shot in Space. So far he is still doing the Lens Flares in the sequel.
    • Tom Hardy, you know the soon to be super famous movie star, will play Al Capone in the upcoming crime drama 'Cicero'.  For those who know there Al Capone history know that  Cicero, Illinois is where he set up his main headquarters of operation. After seeing Tom Hardy in Bronson it is a great roll for him to play.
    • Richard Schiff may be playing the Superman version of  Lucius Fox (from the recent Batman trilogy) in Superman: Man of Steel. He is set to play  Professor Emil Hamilton, but no word on what version he is going to play from the comic books. Like I said, he may be the  gadget supplier for Superman after Lex Luthor takes credit for his inventions and drives him insane.
    • Bruce Almighty 2 is now in development. No word yet on the plot or anything, except Jim Carrey is back. Also Dumb & Dumber 2 may still happen after almost 20 years.
    • Channing Tatum gets his butt kicked by Gina Carano in a 'Haywire' clip
    • A clip from 'Red Tails', a movie about the Tuskegee program during WWII.
    • Thor 2 Script Being changed by Robert Rodat, the screenwritter from  'Saving Private Ryan’. This could be good.
    • Pirates Of The Caribbean 5 is getting a rewrite, i'm still wondering why it is being made. I have  Pirates Of The Caribbean 4 on my iTunes, but I still have not watched it.
    • The Dark Knight Rises IMAX Tickets are already selling out, i'm still waiting to get some in my area.
    • Steven Spielberg is not Directing Jurassic Park 4. Rumors say that it will open a new trilogy in the series.
    • 'The Avenger' will be mostly from Captain America perspective. Makes sense to me, he just woke up in the future and doesn't know whats going on.
    • Josh Trank, the Director of the upcoming movie Chronicle may be directing the Fantastic 4 Reboot.
    • My Favorite Comedy Duo is getting back together to make another movie.  Paul Rudd and Jason Segel are back with  Judd Apatow for a 'Knocked Up'  spinoff. The movie is suppossed to be about Pete and Debbie (now close to their 40s) a few years after 'Knocked Up' and is called 'This is 40'. Megan Fox is also signed to star.
    • Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Featurette

    Look, Up in the Sky!

    The gaming news for today:
    • To the people that say PC gaming is dying or dead, you can go chock yourself with a wireless controller! PC gaming is still alive and kicking. This past week Steam, the PC digital distribution platform of games, just passed a huge mark. They had over 5 Million people logged into Steam and playing a game. I bet you can guess what game it was. Yep, Skyrim!
    • Well Factor 5 was working on a Man of Steel version of Batman: Arkham Asylum/Arkham City, but it was cancelled before anything could happen. They have released what some of the characters would look like. To me it would have been a decent game if it was any way like a superman version of Batman: Arkham City. I'll post a picture of what Superman would have look like at the bottom of the page.
    • If you are not watching CES, you should be. Sony announced a new portable platform called The  PlayStation Vita and man does it seem cool for a portable platform. Thats all i'm going to say now, but Friday will be my CES overview. I will be talking about everything I love seeing.
    • Activision has plans to release another Call of Duty game this year. From the domains they have registered many believe it to be Black Ops 2. Then again, they do own the domains for Black Ops 2 through 6. I don't think a dying series like Call of Duty can last that long. Just saying!

    Live action Star Wars TV Show!

    Today's little bit of news:
    • NBC says that Community will be back this spring, but they didn't announce the time slot it will get in their evening lineup. My hopes is that it comes back at a new time and continues through a fourth season.
    • Frank Darabont, one of the creative minds behind The Walking Dead TV series, is now working on a new TV series on TNT called L.A. Noir. Not to be confused with the popular Rockstar game L.A. Noire, the series will be about an LA Police Cheif and a Mobster.  Which is simular to HBO's Boardwalk Empire. The series will be based on the book L.A. Noir: The Struggle for the Soul of America’s Most Seductive City by John Buntin.
    • A Live action Star Wars series gets a working title,  Star Wars: Underworld. The series is suppose to take place in the 20 years between Episode III an IV while Luke is growing up, but it will not be about Luke. It will be about the criminals, gangs, and the Empire trying to take things over. The link ti the full interview will be here: What Will the Star Wars Live Action TV Show Be Called?

    Was the Jetsons TV show Racist?

    As always on the Monday blog, the Weekend Box Office Results:


    1. The Devil Inside
    2. Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol
    3. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
    4. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)
    5. Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked
    Now onto the news for the day:
    • Now this is only a rumor and maybe a good one at that, but Bradley Cooper might be Lex Luthor in Superman: Man of Steel.
    • New Line Cinema wants to make a Horrible Bosses Sequel? Right now the original cast is back for it. Which means it might be the same story over again. The only this could turn out good is if the they change characters (which already has not happened) or change the story so that they help other people get rid of their Horrible Bosses. I could see this being good, but not with the same story line.
    • Bridesmaids 2 might happen without  Kristen Wiig. Which if this happens the movie will focus on  Melissa McCarthy’s character Megan. Either way I think it would be a funny movie.
    • Les Misérables could be an amazing movie remake.  Hugh Jackman will play  Jean Valjean, Anne Hathaway will play  Fantine,   Russell Crowe will play Javert. I saw the play back in High School and this could end up being a good remake.  Les Misérables was originaly made into a movie back in 1998 with  Liam Neeson, Geoffrey Rush, and Uma Thurman.
    • Matthew Vaughn in talks with unknown person to write and direct Kick-Ass 2: Balls to the Wall.
    • Tim Burton wants to direct a live-action  Pinocchio (Yet another remake) and have Robert Downey Jr. as Gepetto.
    • Kanye West is the  artistic supervisor for the Live Action Jetsons movie. Finally, almost 20 years after the Flintstones movie was made there is a Jetsons movie being made. Now my only question is, will  the movie be as racist as the show? Notice there was only white people in the show.

    Siri Can Rap!

    Today's Tech news:
    • Google Chrome is the fastest Desktop browser and Mobile Safari on iPad 2 is the fastest of the mobile market.
    • Facebook is finally going to allow mobile users to video chat using the Facebook Messenger app. Hopefully Google+ will follow.
    • The jailbreak for the Blackberry Playbook just got a funny name. Its called Dingleberry and boy will Larry The Cable Guy be mad when he hears about this!
    • Facebook Timeline is pretty cool.
    • Google is working on a Siri competitor called Majel.
    • Youtube is now on Xbox and has a lot of glitches for me.
    • Siri raps and is good at it!
    • Steam app for Android is out, i'm still waiting for one for iOS.
    • And the reason why this is up so late is because I tried to Jailbreak my iPod as part of the blog today. As you can tell that didn't go over so well. The iPod cord that I have is going shot and I every time I tried I tried to jailbreak it, it would brick. Which happened 5 times at least. So i'm going to keep trying and i'll let you guys know if and when it works.

    Fun filled day of gaming news!

    The Gaming news of the day:
    • The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is now the number 3 game on Xbox Live. It beat out Battlefield 3 and is doesn't even have any multi-player aspect to the game.
    • The Lord of the Rings could be the next series to be made into a Lego Game.
    • Popular Youtuber Freddie Wong made a Video about what you can only do in Battlefield 3. Check it out here.
    • Here is a 9 minute Fan film for Left 4 Dead.
    • Rocksteady released a Cheat code for Batman: Arkham City that allows you to use the alterniate Batman skins in your first play through. To enter the cheat code, go to Arkham City’s main menu and press Left, Left, Down, Down, Left, Left, Right, Up, Up, Down. A sound will be made when enter it right, and then you can select the skin of your choice. I entered the code right and got the audio confirmation, but I was not able to select the skin. Let me know if you guys try it and it works.
    • Star Wars: The Old Republic could have been a Dark Tower or Game of Thrones MMO. BioWare tossed around the ideas, but eventually went with Star Wars: The Old Republic.
    • Nintendo to release Wii U in the later half of this year. Rumors suggest it will be as powerful as the Xbox 360.
    • Star Wars: The Old Republic may go free to play, but my computer is still too weak and old to run it.
    • Star Wars Battlefront 3 is now in development. Kinda funny since I just bought the original for under $3.
    • Sony, EA, and Nintendo are no longer supporting SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act). They fear that the repercussions from fans will do major damages.
    • Portal 2 is Game of the Year!!!
    • Epic Mickey 2 is rumored for Xbox 360 and PS3. Hopefully it is as good as the first one!
    • Star Wars: The Old Republic might be coming to Mac.
    • Only in Battlefield 3 Video Community Challenge

    The Mythbusters mess up?

    The TV news for today:
    • The Munsters reboot will go through a lot of changes to try and make it in Television today. Besides it being Darker and Edger, some of the characters will change. The family is forced to move after Eddie Munster, who is unaware that he is a werewolf, changes and attacks some of his fellow scouts on a scouting trip.  Grandpa Munster is now a 600 year old shapeshifter instead of being a Vampire.  Lily Munster now has an eating disorder and eats suicide victims. And last but not least  Marilyn Munster is adopted into the family after her cannibalistic birth mother tries to eat her when she was and infant. To me it seems like a cross between True Blood and Modern Family. Hoping the show doesn't kill the idea of the old Munsters TV Show.
    • The Mythbusters have some mishap while filming one episode. While filming an episode a cannon ball misses its target and goes flying through a California neighborhood damaging a house and a Minivan. No one was hurt and the accident is now under investigation. The Episode will most likely not air. Click the link here to see the news video where Adam and Jamie apologize and to get more detail about the accident. Mythbusters Mishap
    • Ice Cube to star in FX series called Eye for an Eye. He is set to play a Paramedic turned murderous  Vigilante. Seems to me like a ripoff of the popular show Dexter.
    • Also FX has signed Russell Brand to do a late night unscripted show. It will turn into his show where he can do what ever he wants without having to  apologize  for it.
    • And last but not least Hell on Wheels has been renewed for a second season. After being leading by the already popular The Walking Dead, the show has been bringing in 2 Million views per episode. I havent seen an episode yet, but for being a Western I hear it is a good show. It will join Mad Men, Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, and The Killing on AMC, where things just keep getting better and better.
    Thanks for reading today's post, as always leave a comment down below about anything or the question of the day, which is:

    QOTD: Do you like what FX is doing with there shows now?

    Musicians on YouTube! Part 7

    Ever heard of Tay Zonday? Rhett & Link? Well then you have never been on YouTube for the good stuff. These guys create amazing music on their own and do in such a fashion that makes it explode on the Internet. All of their videos are original and amazing. And there is so many more musicians out there on YouTube. Today and Friday I will be talking about YouTube Musicians and I will also post a link to my favorite videos that they made. This week I will be talking about Tay Zonday.

    Adam Nyerere Bahner aka Tay Zonday is an American Musician and the deep baritone singing voice of Youtube. He is 28 years old and has already worked with some really big names such as DrPepper, Intel, TurboTax, Comedy Central, and Firefox. His music is original and his singing voice is so well know since he posted his song Chocolate Rain, which right now has 75,496,506 views. That is a really big boom in 4 years. That is 368,674,604.3 minutes of time spent watching that video. That is over 701 years watching that video. This guy is now an Internet Icon!

    My favorites of his videos are:
    THEME FROM NEW YORK NEW YORK!! SUNG BY TAY ZONDAY

    Late and long Movie blog!

    As always on the Monday blog, the Weekend Box Office Results:


    1. Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol
    2. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
    3. Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked
    4. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)
    5. War Horse
    And now onto the movie news:
    • Lionsgate to continue the Saw Franchise. Saw 8 is really close to being made. Yet another Franchise that wont ever die!
    • Sacha Baron Cohen signs on for role in  Les Misérables. I wonder how he does in a musical role?
    • American Psycho being rebooted? This better just be a rumor or Christian Bale will start screaming at somebody else!
    • As you already know Matt Damon will not be in the next Bourne movie, which is titled Bourne Legacy. They are starting fresh with a new character since they felt they beat the identity and  amnesia  part of the movies into the ground.  Jeremy Renner will play a Bourne like killer and the movie will be about  Treadstone from another agents point of view. From from I have heard and read Matt Damon will be back after this movie.
    • Spider-man could never look more Awesome then in the picture above.
    • A Robin Easter egg was found in the most recent Dark Knights Rises Trailer.
    • Bill Murray reads the Ghostbusters 3 scripts, shreds it and sends it back with a note. Now the movie could move on with out him.
    • Fast and Furious 6 and 7 is still on says Vin Diesel. How can they make them better in Europe? Easy, just bring in Jason Statham.
    • Mission: Impossible 5 is being rushed by Paramount. Rushing never helps when making a good movie. It could hurt the sequel and even injure some of the actors. But the good thing is it might stop Tom Cruise from making Top Gun 2!
    • Rumors are out the the Red Skull is in 'The Avengers'. Still a rumor, but he did not did in Captain America so it could happen.
    • Paramount just confirmed Paranormal Activity 4. Yet another failure.
    Thats all the movie news I have for today. This is a really long blog because I am catching up on what I have have missed. Dont for get to respond to the Question of the day which is:

    QOTD: Could there be Ghostbusters 3 made without Bill Murray? If so, would it be any good?

    Until Next time,

    Its been a long time!

    Its been a long time, how have you been? Have you missed me? As you know I was working at Toys R Us for the holiday season. Now that the season is over i'm back! I know I left you hanging for a while, its just work turned into a full time thing and I had no time for anything but work. So starting tomorrow I will be catching up on what I missed and I will be talking about the new stuff. And I will also start doing some video game reviews on video game Wednesday. So on Wednesdays there will be two blogs posted. One with the normal news and one with a video game review.


    I will also release the last 2 parts of my Musicians of YouTube series this week. One will be posted on Monday and the other will be posted on Friday. All of the other blogs are on normal schedule and I will also make a due time for the blogs. From here on out all of my blogs will be posted on or before 2:30 PM Eastern Time. So I am starting this year off right and heading back to doing the things I love doing.
