Enforce new superhero movies

God, will DC get their heads out of Batman and Superman? Yes, they're fantastic heroes, especially Batman, but they're not the only ones in their universe. I'm excited about Watchmen, and I can't get enough of the rumors of Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, and more...but really, DC. I'm just not sure that we can keep on trusting your judgement after casting Val Kilmer and George Clooney as Batman...

And what about Superman Returns?! I saw that movie in Walmart today priced for 5 dollars! I laughed when I saw the 1989 Batman for 10, up there with X-Men.


MARVEL, don't even think about laughing. Sure, you did good with the Spiderman flicks, but did you even stop to think about your actions? Without any symbiote at the end of Spiderman 3, how could there have been Carnage for the 2 planned sequels?

---I actually have an answer for this, but I want to hear your answers---

Then, of course, there's the Punisher. What happened?! Were you guys so poor that you couldn't have bribed Thomas Jane to come back once more? My god! YOU NEVER CHANGE ACTORS IN A SERIES! Darkman did it, and it sucked...

Then again, you make so many sequels, we don't know where to begin...You should have stopped with X Men 3. Making the Origins movies is just. plain. stupid. Now you've got a whole slew of movies which are going to be good, coming out with movies that are just going to suck. Make up your mind!

Back to you, DC. Can I ask you a question? What's up with the lack of consistancy? Please tell me you're going to hire Christopher Nolan to make the next, inevitable, Batman film. He's done good for you in the past, like Tim Burton, but you discarded him without a second thought.

Whew, I've worked myself into a flurry. I see all this comic book crap that lets the good superhero stuff shine through (though I watch the new Watchmen trailers with growing fear). I need to just let it pass like a bad taco, and get back to worrying about normal stuff, like how the hell am I going to keep coming up with new things for this blog...

Anyway, I want to hear from you. What comics, graphic novels, or books do you think should be put into movies?

That's all from me. Long Days and Pleasant Nights.

Fund the cure for the common cold

I'm sick as all hell, and I just want to sleep. I'm gonna give a quick rundown of the past few days, though.

Prior to day one:
-Realize I have no clean clothes
-Wake up periodically to do laundry

Day one:
-Wake up, sleepy
-Do Calculus and Reading Lit. homework in Health
-Fall asleep in every class
-Contemplate Narcolepsy
-Realize I have a massive headache
-Get home, relax
-Write essay, half asleep, comparing and contrasting boring characters
-Sleep

Day two:
-Wake up in sweat, and drool, breathing out of one nostril/my mouth
-As I get dressed, I can't decide if I'm hot or cold
-Get stuff together
-All 4 doors on car stuck. FUUUUUUUUUUUCK!
-After 20 minutes, get car started and drive to school
-Do class-like stuff
-Practice with a friend for entertaining a senior citizen's dinner
-Realize by other's songs that I only know depressing music
-Microphones don't work too well with me, and I sound horrible playing guitar
-Return home
-Sleep until 6pm
-Wake up to go back to school with friend to sing for basketball game
-Come back, eat, write blog

I wouldn't mind either the cough or the lack of nostrils, if it weren't for the headache, which makes everything disoriented.

Anyway, that's my recent story. Now, I'm just going to relax, and try to get some sleep so I'm better in the morning. Sorry about the short post. I'll see you guys on Sunday. Until then, Long Days and Pleasant Nights to you all.

Quick question

I'm having a hard time finding a good layout. Any input, guys?

Hire people to make me a theme song

Who doesn't want their own theme? Just being able to walk down the street, and hear music suited to your mood, or to be going to the garage with dramatic music playing in the background would be cool.

I need a tool, but I'm not sure if there's a chainsaw wielding MANIAC in there!

Okay, so you have the ability to hire somebody to write your theme music, and record it. But...who do you get to write it? Choose carefully, wise one, between two of the "best" in the business:

John Williams: Known for his legendary pieces such as Star Wars, ET, Superman, etc. He is considered somewhat of a sham, as his music is often the same melody repeated in different beats and tempos. Recently, he modified an old religious tune for the inauguration, played by some of the most brilliant musicians to grace the world, and yet it was immensely boring.

Danny Elfman: Known for his immortal Batman, Beetlejuice, and the Simpsons. His style is as follows: take one catchy melody, and play it for 5 minutes, constantly adding a little bit to it, as to make the piece sound more passionate. Toss in quite a lot of trills in the background, and you've got a hit.

On one hand, you can have a surefire hit, knowing that it's worked before, it can work again. On the other hand, if it's a good melody, it'll stay in your head forever. That being said, the choice is clear:

Hire both of them, put them in a cage, and let them create a masterpiece for you.

Now that we have the piece of music, let's focus on carrying it around, and playing it at necessary times. Do we go for hiring a marching band to follow you around? Or more for a speaker system? In that case, wouldn't your music need to change to accommodate the music itself? IT'S A NEVERENDING CYCLE!!!!

My question to you is:

-Who would you hire to write your theme song (it can even be a rock band)?

In unrelated news, a friend of mine had a seizure today. It's a little less dramatic then how they make it look on TV. It was a wooooooooonderful way to start the morning, as he seized to Boston's "More than a Feeling" (I've been working on a joke for this all day. I just wish I could remember what a seizure was, and that I wasn't too lazy to Google it).

When he went, he didn't make a sound. He laid down to seize. The way we knew was that another friend saw him lay down, and realized what it was. We cleared the area, and got help quickly. Within 5 minutes, he was safe, with an ambulance called. I think we did damn well, and he's doing fine now. He was lucky enough to catch the signs and lay himself on his side before hand.

So, that's my day. I felt kind of bad afterword, because all I could think was, "Hmm...My first seizure witnessing. Not as bad as I thought it would look. Kind of makes me want to have one of my own." It's going on the list of depressing things I need to see or do before I die. The simple fact that I have a mental list of that stuff is number one on that list. Again, a vicious cycle. So, sorry for the long and boring post, but I'm going to go do stuff, like sleep, or...well, that's just about it.

Long Days and Pleasant nights to you all.

Help the homeless...for my amusement

Woohoo! Second post!

Let's face it. Everybody's had a time when things have been down, and you've hoped for somebody to lend a hand, be it financially, physically, or emotionally. I wouldn't mind being that guy that lends that hand to people in need. If I had the money, I would take in the homeless, and help them get their life back on track.

Now, where's the humor in that? There really isn't. If you can do something kind for one person, that's the humor and reward itself. However, if you must insist:

Coming soon to MTV:
"Home Sweet Home"

52 strangers are forced to live under the same roof for one year, as the world watches each week. The catch: they are all homeless. Carefully controlled, the contestants are put in trials as they struggle to overcome their addictions (and each other) to get their lives back on track. Each week, America will vote off one contestant, leaving one, who will win the house.

What do you think? Don't worry; each eliminated contestant will be given ten thousand dollars to help them return to their normal lives, along with help to deal with any psychological problems they may have.

Please, don't kick my ass over this one (OMG! HE SWORE!). You can leave hate mail, but I think it's a great way to help and entertain at the same time. Look at "The Biggest Loser". I think that's more harmful than helpful.

On an added note, I underestimated the annoyance of Calculus. There's a sort of timeline in math during school, where you start as a kid with a pencil with everything, and are used to it, being irked when your lead breaks, or that you constantly have to sharpen it. Then you get to high school, where they say, "You can't use pencil. Only pen." There's a sort of revelation there, and you get happy. Now, I'm back to pencil for Calculus. Yippee. It's like seeing a twenty dollar bill lying on the ground get picked up by a street sweeper and shredded. Horrible.

On that depressing note, I'll leave you guys with this question of Monday:

If you could help any one person in the world, who would you help? How? Why?

Don't forget, post, and I'll check your blogs. Until then, Long Days and Pleasant Nights to all!

Fill a swimming pool with jello

Hello. My name is Adam, and this is my first blog. I'm just going to go ahead and say that I look forward to being on Blogger, and checking out all of the cool blogs, stories, and advice that people have to share. My blog is about the childish dreams that we all have, and how I should not be allowed to think. And so, I'll title each of my blogs (I'm deciding on a schedule now...I'm thinking Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday...we'll see) with one thing on my list of things I'd like to do if I were wealthy. I'm not saying millionaire wealthy, but enough to do what I want without worrying about the cost.

As you can see, the first is to fill a swimming pool with jello. Who hasn't wanted to do this? Every kid who's ever had jello has put a little equation in their head every time they walk past a pool.

Pool=Water
Jello=Powder+Water
Therefore, Jello=Powder+Pool.

Careful when modifying this equation, though...it could have dangerous side effects. (P.S. - I'm sorry Mr. Weiner, don't kill me)

I constantly get into a conversation with my friends over whether we would swim in it, or eat it. I personally would eat myself a hole underneath, so that you can go from one end to the other in an underground jello tunnel. What about you guys? Assume it's a pool similar to the ones at the YMCA, or a local pool you have. Leave a response if you'd like, or you can email me at

ifiwererich@ymail.com

Onward, there are a few things I'm going to be trying with this, as it is my first, and I'd like it to be enjoyable. If you have any question or comments, feel free to leave a message, and I will return it. Trust me, I have no life.

Also, while you're at it, drop a link to your blog, and I'll check it out. In fact, if you even respond to this blog, I will look at yours, and if I like it, I'll link it.

This is all I really have to say for my first blog. I'll be back to write one again on Monday, hopefully to be up some time between 3 and 6 pm. Until then, long days and pleasant nights to all.
