This guy is hilareous! He has a few other puppets he works with. Peanut is the funniest one so far. Happy Halloween everyone.

In the spirit of Halloween I thought about doing a list of my favorite horror movies. I'm a lil picky about my horror flicks and usually not impressed by over use of gore or the slasher monster who keeps coming back over and over again. Though I admit Jason and Freddy are a bit entertaining in killing their victims. I like to think they have style.

Poltergeist

This is such a classic haunted house movie for me. I thought it was extra creepy in the scene when the mother falls into the unfinished pool and the skeletons popup in the water. In an interview with the actress they used real skeletons for that scene in the film. There is also the theory that the film is cursed and several actors died after this film.
Favorite Scary Moment: Poor Robbie is getting scared of his toy clown and knocked it down from the chair it's sitting on which eventually disappears. Then Robbie checks under the bed and doesn't find it there. When he gets back up the toy clown attacks him and drags him under the bed.
Lesson Learned: Don't fuck with Indian burial grounds.

30 Days of Night

I recently saw this and I loved it. I thought it had the right amount of gore for a Vampire movie. A small town in Alaska is about to go through a month of no sun. Then a group of vampires start to isolate the town and begin a feeding frenzy. I think what was creepy is how helpless the victims were. Usually you have to survive till Dawn but these people had to last a month and in cold weather.
Favorite Scary Moment: When they use a town girl as bait to lure out the other towns people. Which you can see in the trailer with her pleading to God. Then the head vampire tells her "no...no God". Which leads to them brutally attacking her and biting her.
Lesson Learned: Frankly I wouldn't live in a town that had a month of no sun.

The Grudge
This is my favorite scary movie. The film works on your primal fear and I loved how she would pop out of anywhere. Another good haunted house film where when someone dies horribly their spirit stays there and relives the scene over. The curse eventually consumes if you step inside the house. I liked this film cause it attacked anyone. Even the innocent die in this film. Too bad the sequel sucked donkey balls.
Favorite Scary Moment: Opening scene when Yoko sticks her head in the attic and turns to find herself face to face with the ghost and is dragged up in the attic.
Lesson Learned: Your relator should disclose if there was a grizzly murder in the house you are buying.

The Descent
I saw this poster on a bus stop on Sunset Blvd. I thought hmm interesting. So when I heard it was getting a lot of good reviews. I rented it one night and was surprised how much I was into the story. Still not sure why I thought it was scary but the setting for the story has a lot to do with it. A group of women go Spurlunking and dive into a uncharted cave. But the girls find out they are not alone and are trap in the cave with hungry creatures.
Favorite Scary Moment: The girls are being attacked by the monsters and one defends herself with her sort of pitch fork ax. After she kills a few she hears a sound behind her and she turns around to swing her ax which ends up being one of her friends and the ax goes through her throat. OUCH!
Lesson Learned: If it's not on the map don't go there and watch your back.

The Exorcist
I had to put one of the classics. This was scary for a kid to watch. Hate my dad for letting me watch it. I kept seeing Linda Blair in the dark and hiding under the covers. I'm sure we all know what this one's about.
Favorite Scary Moment: Not sure if it's the crab walk down the stairs or the head spinning around.
Lesson Learned: Oujia boards are bad. But hard to take them seriously if they are made by Parker Bros.

Silent Hill
When I heard they were going to do a movie of one of my favorite horror games I thought "please don't fuck it up". I got to see this at a sneak preview when I worked for ETS. Loved how I got to see this a week before release. I was not happy when my pregnant co worker went with me. She miscarried the next day. Will note not because of the film.
Favorite Scary Moment: When Anna gets her skinned pulled off of her by Pyramid Head and throws her remains at Cybil and Cheryl.
Lesson Learned: Cults are bad. You can't cleanse someone with fire.

The Entity
I didn't know about this movie until I worked at a video store and a woman had asked about it. After she returned it I was too curious to not take it home and watch it. This is supposely based on a true story about a woman who was rapped and physcialy abused by a ghost or spirit.
Favorite Scary Moment: When Barbara Hersey gets attacked and rapped by the ghost in the bathroom.
Lesson Learned: Nothing really to learn at least you can't catch an STD.

Dawn of The Dead
I had to throw in a zombie movie cause I love them. Night of the Living Dead 2 was fun but there are reasons why I like this one. I think it's cool they get trapped inside a mall. If I had to take refuge somewhere a mall would be fucking sweet. Plus i like the fact they don't know what's going on in the outside world. Your still not sure what started the virus either.
Favorite Scary Moment: When they go into the garage and one of the guys gets attacked from above with a zombie that has no legs but hangs from the pipes above. Scared the fuck out of me.
Lesson Learned: Find a place with weapons, food, supplies and pray for the best.

Hostel
Of course I had to throw this one on here. Though I can't stand too much gore this one served a purpose to show how sadistic these people were in torturing their victims. I don't think i cringed so much watching a movie.
Favorite Scary Moment: Oh I hated it when the asian girl gets her face blowtorched off with her eyeball hanging out.
Lesson Learned: I guess be skeptical where you stay in another country.

Saw
I didn't expect to like this series that much. I thought the first one was great and was sure the second one would suck. But the second and third films were still fresh and the plot was still solid. I felt they planned out these films very well. Of course the death traps are great too.
Favorite Scary Moment: Mine has to come from the third film. When the detective from the second film is captured and a device is attached to her rip cage. She needs to pull the key from a glass of acid to unlock it or the device will pull her rip cage apart. Well....she doesn't quit make it.
Lesson Learned: Well...you do learn a lesson but you also lose an eye, or finger, or arm.

There you go my favorite horror films. Hope everyone has a good Halloween.

I can't sleep....I really have been up for over 24 hours now. Not sure what's keeping me awake. I think my mind is refusing to go to bed alone.

I miss John. I still think about him everyday and I always wander how he's doing. What I find most interesting is how much I do miss him. Yet I never get the courage to pick up the phone to call him. I think cause I know he will not answer. I've thought about writing an e mail to him even though I dont' expect a response back. I wish I was one of those people who don't need closure. Still hard for me to fathom someone I love deeply and thought the world of is out of my life. But this is good knowing him and I would not have a relationship together. I would still be on the side and always a third wheel and never satisfied. I love you John. I hope someday we can overcome this.

I spoke with my friend Patrick today on the phone. Was good to hear his bubbly optomistic voice. He could tell in my voice I wasn't happy. We started talking about the rough times I've had in San Diego. He told me he didn't know what to tell me. My response to him was that just him talking to me and communicate was all I needed. I didn't need sympathy or someone to tell me everything was going to be alright. I just needed to know I have freinds and family out there. Less alone I feel in the world the better I will be.

I have received some joyous news from a co worker the other night. Couple months ago I finished the last Harry Potter book. Usually when I finish a book I'm never quit sure what to do with it when I'm done. I've donated to the public library a couple of times but you don't' get that big of a tax break if you do. I like to pass them onto people I know would benefit with a good read. Rarely will I ever reread a novel unless it's a personal favorite. Hmm I should make an entry of my favorite novels sometime. Anyways trailing off the subject. I told my co worker she could do whatever she wants with the Harry Potter novel as long as it gets a good home. She had delivered the book to the daughter of a friend of hers. She was a ten year old Harry Potter friend and was told by her parents that she would not get the book until Christmas since the family didn't have much money and she one of seven children in the family. My co worker told me she was so astatic to get the book early that before she said good bye the girl was already on page 6 of the novel. I felt so good that the novel I owned brightened up that little girls life. Hopefully there is such thing as karma and it makes it way around.

I thought it would be fun to list the cities I have lived in. I always enjoy traveling and seeing new cities and what they have to offer. I have a facination with city skylines too. Especially the night ones. So in order of the cities i've lived in my life. Maybe another time i'll make a list of cities i'd like to visit or live in.

Houston, TX
This is where I was born and raised. Mostly outside the city limits in the suburbs.

Norfolk, VA
Since I spent most of the time on the Naval Base and on the ship, I put a picture of the Naval Base in Norfolk. You can see my ship at the top which is the USS Enterprise.

Denver, CO
I lived all over colorado but it's Denver that I tried to call home. Diffently one of the most beauitful cities I've lived in. A lot happened to me in that city.

Los Angeles, CA
LA has to be the most exciting and adventerous city I have lived in. I wouldn't mind going back when i'm more established.

San Diego, CA
Here is where I currently live now. I would feel more at home here if certain asspects of my life would improve.

I sensed it was going to be a tense night when I got to the bus stop tonight. I witnessed an elder man snapping at two young girls behind me getting on the bus. Then when I jumped on the 8 bus to get to work a homeless man was barking at the bus driving for taking off without him. On the bus ride to work I thought how tensed up and angry people seemed to be tonight. I wondered if anything hectic would happen at work. Sure as hell it did like I predicted. I had two guest get into a fight. One guy beat up another guest cause he was flirting with his girlfriend and then stole his wallet. I had to call the police and then kick out the girl and her boyfriend from the room. This lasted for several hours of the cops trying to resolve the problem. Usually there is a full moon on nights like these but curious to why so many people were irate tonight.

Today I wandered if I just ran away. Just took off to somewhere new and where no one knew me. I think i have a problem with staying in one place for too long. Maybe i need a career that requires me to travel. I've been chatting with this guy in Atlanta. At first his looks really caught my eye and i started chatting with him. The conversations with him have been incredible and wished he was in San Diego so i could go on a date with him. He says the feeling is mutual and would like to meet me sometime in the future. Hey at least it's a good feeling to know someone wants you.

So I've had a pretty rough weekend. I went with one of my buddies to the bath house here in San Diego. When I paid for the room I saw that I still had a lot of cash on me that I needed to deposit into my checking account. I decided to hide my wallet in my room. Well throught the night I had only one guy in my room. Then my friend and I went home and I got some sleep and got up to catch the bus to work. When the bus pulled up I opened my wallet and all my cash was gone. Around 300 dollars in cash my wallet was completely gone!!! I kept replaying the night over in my head and not sure how this guy could have stolen this money from me without me knowing. I have looked all over my room just in case the money didn't just simply fall out of my wallet. No trace of any cash was in my room. The worse part was I was left with no money to buy grocreies or bus fair to get to work. Plus this happened at the beginning of the weekend. I was bummed for the whole weekend trying to figure out what to do until I get paid again. My sis called me the next day and I told her how my cash was stolen. She sent me some money in the mail which should be coming in soon. I've been beating myself up pretty bad for losing that much money. Just when i was getting back on my feet things just turned shitty all over again. I hope that money brings nothing but trouble for him.

Before all that I got a new cell phone. Since i haven't heard from Ron in almost 5 weeks I decided to give him a call from my new number. He actually answered. Here's how our conversation went.

Ron: Hello?
Mikey: Thank god your still alive.
Ron: Who is this?
Mikey: It's Mikey.
Ron: Oh Hey. Where are you?
Mikey: I'm at home.
Ron: I'm on a conference call. Can I call you right back?
Mikey: umm...sure.
Ron: Ok good bye.

He never did call me back.

So I forgot to post that I've been on Xanga for 2 years now. September 8th was my aniversary date. I have to admit this year hasn't been filled with postings like i did my first year. I think cause too many personal issues have happened and writing them down online didn't seem like the answer. For two years i've been through a lot and it seems things never really get better or worse. Life just happens the way it does.

Still no word from John. I hope in time him and I could talk again. There are times i really miss him. The other day i was on the bus going home and i started crying. I miss his voice the most i think. His deep voice that use to just lure me into him. Now when i hear that song Tracking Treasure Down i think it's a fitting song for what happened between us. So i guess i did leave my heart in San Francisco.

I was dating this guy named Ron who i meet through a friend. Things were going well and we even went on a great date for my birthday. He hasn't called me in 4 weeks and recently i tried calling his number and now the number doesn't work. Not sure what to think about it. I spoke to our friend and he said he hadn't heard from him either. I hope it's nothing serious or that he just lost his cell phone. Lately it's made me feel like I dont' want to date right now.

So I'm working the graveyard shift at a hotel in Pacific Beach. As i'm sitting at the computer behind the desk these two drunk Irish guys walk up. Here's how the conversation went.

Irish guy: hey my friend here is looking for the bar
Mikey: Sorry all the bars in this area close at 2 am.
Irish guy: Oh well all my friend wants is a double vodka.
Mikey: ......Ok....I'm sorry what do you want me to do?
Irish guy: (pulls money out of wallet and lays on counter) Just a double vodka for my friend.
Mikey: This isn't a bar.
Irish guy: Oh! well where's the bar here?
Mikey: We don't have a bar in the hotel.
Irish guy: Oh but there are bars around here?
Mikey: Yes but they are all closed now. All the bars around here close at 2 am.
Irish guy: oh damn, thanks man.

But i will note that his drunk friend was very fucking hot. Wearing a tight white Armani Shirt. I could tell for sure one of his nipples is pierced. :)
