Kontrol totally blew my mind. I have never seen something of such calibur as that. It was a sort of psycological thriller/comedy that was just the greates thing ever. I still dont understand the purpose of the killer though. was it really his psyche or just actually a killer? We may never know. I was totally amazed at the direction of the movie. He used a combination of just so many directing styles that it was amazing. My favorite part of the movie had to be the scene where the psychyatirst came in to interview them. This showed how totally messed up these guys were. wheather it be from work or a previous ailment. i would totally give this movie like 6 stars.

not sure whether its supposed to be an idea or an actuall thing but here is 2 for 1:

REVIEW: Bruce Springstein, Live and in Concert!
By: Alex Katz
Bruce (a/k/a “The Boss”) once again proves that his “Glory Days” are far from over!
For those of you who have been living under a rock, the legend, Bruce Springstein, is still touring. Haven’t heard of Bruce? Well, you might as well just up and move to Russia because there is no use for you here in the good old U.S.A.
Bruce is a legend, an icon, a one-of –a kind rock superhero legend!
I recently had the opportunity to go to my first Bruce concert with my father. At first, it was a little weird going to a concert with someone, well, let’s just say is a wee bit older than me. All the way to Giant Stadium he kept talking about his “Glory Days” of college, listening to Bruce, concerts, yada, yada. Politely I nodded, not really listening to (nor appreciating) why he was so excited to be the one to share this experience with me.
After weeks in the car (yes, it can take Long Islanders actual days to get off this island to the other “country” known as New Jersey), we arrived, albeit, late. No fear, though, the concert did not start on time. I was anxious to see who the opening band was. We waited. I looked around. What a crowd! I did not know that people in their 50’s would even want to hang out a place with people in their teens. Yes, I was skeptical to say the least. I knew Springstein had good music, so I decided to give it a shot and pretend that the old people were lost.
The concert started, but with no opening act. Bruce just walked up on stage with all of the house lights still on, which I thought showed a lot about him. The fact that he did not need lights and sounds to signal his entrance showed that just being there was enough for the crowd to go nuts. It was 3 1/2 solid hours of Bruce. To describe the energy would be doing him a disservice. That man can sing and perform! Everyone in that stadium was awestruck! I have never seen anything like this before! What an end to a historic stadium then to have its last bow with an American legend.
At one point in the concert he let the crowd sing the first verse to one of his songs and instead of singing along he decided to crowd surf. He even proposed for a crowd member. How could Elaine say no. It’s Bruce! He at least four encores and just would not stop. The best part of the concert was the fact that it did not feel like a concert. It just felt like a guy up on stage singing a couple of songs along with his buddies having a great time. The best part of the concert, however, was that I got to share it with my best buddy, my dad!

an epic failure so epic.....it was nearly a win

So yeah, we did a movie.....with zombies in it. As many of you deduced, it was an epic fail (but I mean this in a good way seeing as the only way we could go from here is up). I found this to be both a challenging and rewarding experience seeing as we only had 1 hour to do this movie and had to improvise the entire thing b/c we were a man down. But all in all I reallllyyyy want to do this again except mb this time we could actually have a script/buisness plan....etc... haha. The hardest thing about this project was definitely trying not to crack up @ Jesse's gay zombie character.....he does that welll.......hmmmmmmm....naaazzzzz jkjk jess and (sorry about friday).....;)> well I gotta nerd out now......pceeeeeeeeeee

FALLing down (i' ve been watching Disney Channel a little too much)

ok so yeah i havent written in a while but with soccer, tennis, homework, and such its been kind of hard to find a little time to myself...... but i digress. The main reason that im writing this entry is to describe the weather we are having.....no im not just doing small talk. With the ever changing weather i notice moods of people change tremendously as well. For example in the spring time people are very happy, and in the winter not so much, but in the fall its more complicated then that. The mixture of colors creates a mood which is inexpressable in people, but they try their best anyway. For instance my mom goes from jublantly happy when the colors are nice and the weather is nice and everything and everyone is just nice. Sometimes however on bleak cold days (just like today) it is evident that the lack of color creates a void in her mind. Where the yellow orange leaves created a sense of wonder, and bliss, there now stands....well for lack of a better term....she is cranky. And as the seasons come and go, so must i because i hear that little person in my brain telling me to do my soc paper before it's 12 AM........come to think of it he sounds strangely like morgan freeman....wth.........later days.

Frank Loyd Wright

Frank Loyd wright was born in Richland Center, Wisconsin on June 8, 1867. He was concidered a leader in the Prarie School movement of archetecture. "Wright's basic philosophy of architecture was stated primarily through the house form, and he had few major commissions for public buildings, office buildings or skyscrapers in the early years." Some of the structures that he built during the 1900-1920 time period were: The Larkin Administration Building in Buffalo, New York, the Midway Gardens in Chicago, and the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo."In the 1920's, Wright explored the use of poured concrete and abstract sculptural ornamentation in residential construction. He developed a type of construction using precast "textile" concrete blocks which were bound together by steel rods and poured concrete"In 1933 when Wright constructed the small Malcolm E. Willey House, it acted as the begining of a sort of second career for him. The Malcom E. Willey House "represented a revolutionary change in domestic planning; i.e., the living room and dining room were completely unified in a single space, and the kitchen ("workspace") was only separated from the living area by a range of shelves." This house was sort of the connector between the prairie houses and the Usonian houses. Some famous buildings Wright built in the 1930's were: Fallingwater, and the Administration Building of the S.C. Johnson and Son Company. "Fallingwater has been described as "the apotheosis of the horizontal." Its cantilevered terraces soar dramatically over a natural waterfall, and the interior of the house blends seamlessly into the surrounding woods. The Johnson Building, resembling a "gigantic and beautiful machine," is based on the curve rather than the cantilever and turns inward upon itself, ignoring the existence of the outside world." In 1940-41, the Museum of Modern Art held an exhibit as a retrospective of some of the marvelous works he designed. At the exhibit, he received several awards and honors. Some famous buildings that he built in the 40's were: the S. C. Johnson Research Tower, and the Morris Gift Shop.In the fifties 3 of his buildings were chosen by the American Institute of Architects to join the other 11 buildings of his (making the total 14) to be "examples of his architectural contribution to American culture". These buildings are: the Price Company Tower, the Beth Sholom Synagogue, and, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.

On April 29, 1959 in Phoenix, Arizona Frank Loyd Wright died.

trust thyself as one would trust thy xbox to get the red rings of death

Well yesterday we went to the community center (and hilarity ensued) whether it was from a pink unbrella to a poorly placed vending machine(sorry). This endevor brought about thoughts of trust. Trust I realized is something that must be given and earned. It is not (at least by me) freely given to any random person at first glance, like "oh he seems nice, I'm going to go and give him my pin #". It is also something that must be self attained because trusting yourself is the most important aspect of surviving in this cruel abyss we call life. If you don't or can't trust yourself you most likely won't trust anyone else. Trusting yourself takes alot of confidence and faith. If you don't trust yourself you will also not be able to do the best you can do, and your work (and personality) will greatly reflect that. If Steve Jobs didn't trust himself, his abilities, and his product then we would all be listening to ......ZUNES......AHHHHHHH! --------point proven.

have a good one-
katz

well arent you a Mötley Crüe...
