You have got to be kidding me!????!!????

I posted this video at around 4 am....and it already has 73 views!!! That is absolutely ridiculous!!! I am so amazed by the fact that my voice is so bad yet it has 73 views and one rating of 4 stars!!! That is an honor for me...I still can't wait for my first comment then my first compliment then my first insult. I love looking at what people can come up with. It is hilarious , some of the insults that people can come with. I purposefully wore the cowboy hat in hopes of just that. Maybe I can spruce up the comments and make them way more hilarious. Anyway, I have much more coming since this one was such a hit so far. I even wrote my own song. So who knows how that will turn out.

This Year in Baseball

Let us see what respectable players in my mind deserve tha awrds...

Hitter: As much as I would like to vote for Delgado (D-God) I can't. The true winner should be Outfielder Manny Ramirez. He went from the Red Sox where he was beginning to slump to the Dodgers where he exploded! He was the sole piece to their almost World Series push.

Starter: Sure call me biased, but I could care less. The winner of this is Johan Santana. He went from the Minnesota Twins, a team that wasn't known for their playoff appearances, to the New York Mets who have recently begun to show their faces in the Postseason. He went 16-7 last season with the Mets, but could have easily won at least 20-22 if it were not for the bullpen (I know who you are and I will find you!!!). He led the majors with ERA for a reason, finishing up with a 2.53 ERA.

Rookie: The definite winner is Evan Longoria. He could have very well been the sole piece that pushed the Rays into the Series. He hit 6 homers with 13 RBI's in his first postseason EVER!!! That is an absolute choice to win this category.

Manager: Although I am very disappointed that Jerry Manuel was not added to this list with all the work he did for the team with the cards he was dealt. But since I am forced to choose with a limited amount of managers, I will have to go with Joe Madden. I wanted to go for Charlie Manuel but the Rays were dealt less cards and did more with it. Although a good argument could be that the Phillies went to the Series AND won...but big deal. Look at the age and the lack of experience the Rays had only to push their way to the Series in the stronger American League.

Closer: This is almost as easy as Rookie. What defines a closer? A player who comes in and closes games. Well, my pick is K-Rod. He broke the single season record for saves by accumulating 62 saves out of 69 tries. Hopefully he will bring this to the plate for the Mets.

Setup: The winner is the player who setup up wins for the team that went the furthest. Grant Balfour finished off with a 1.54 ERA and 14 holds along with 82 K's in 58.1 innings. There can't a long enough explanation since the Rays went to the Series.

Defense: The winner in my mind is Dustin Pedroia. His defense was amazing at second base and in only his third season in the MLB he (at the moment) has a .313 AVG. In his third season, he managed to hit above 200 hits. That is something Ichiro does. Who knows, maybe we could be seeing the next big thing at second base piling 200 hits every season for the rest of his career.

Performance: In his third season, this player managed to pitch a no-hitter. Let us put it this way, Tom Glavine in his many seasons has yet to pitch a no-hitter (although he was cursed throughout his career with the MEts). Jon Lester. He pitched the 18th no-hitter for the Red SOx on May 19 vs. the Royals.

Play: On July 27, it was a sure homer as I watched a pitch fly outwards toward oblivion. But Mets Center Fielder jumped up to steal a homer. Let us put it this way...He is as of now the closest to resembling the Catch by Endy Chavez in the 2006 playoffs. And that is saying something. Of course, the first player to congratulate him was.....drumroll in your head?...Endy Chavez.

Moment: When I think of this winner, I think of how I would feel if I were a fan of thier team. Well, the biggest moment was when Ryan Braun hit a homer on Sept 28, the final day of the season, to grab the wild card berth and finally defeat the Mets for the wild card.

Oddity: Now as a MEts fans I have seen plenty of oddities this season. One of them, which is not on the ballot, is when a cat was at SHea this season. I'm not sure if it was a cat, but it was running around and jumped into the Mets' dugout. Now they won that game unlike the infamous black cat cubs incident at Shea. But this season, I would have to go with another oddity I witnessed. It is to this day the best game I have ever been in attendance for. Johan Santana was up to bat and I knew that he was going to get a hit. Ironically enough it was against the Cubs. But Johan broke his bat and then the ball hit the bat by second base to push the ball away from the second baseman. Johan was safe and awarded with a hit.

Executive: The winner is of course, Andrew Friedman. He has stayed young and it is now beginning to pay off for him. All the while the Rays (known before this season as the Devil Rays) were in last place every season. They were a horrible team. But this season everything changed when they got rid of the DEVIL and understood that staying young is staying talented. Every team should live by his rules.

Postseason Moment: When David Price pitched against the Red Sox in Game 7 to pitch the final two innings, it was the greatest moment in Postseason history that I was alive for. He was a rookie, and a VERY unexperienced pitcher who was asked, nicely, to close out Game 7 for the Rays. He pushed the Rays into the Series.

Machochip.com Bio....Coming Out Soon

I have exactly one pain in this world….
The New York Mets
I have had season tickets along with my father for the past two seasons and have continuously been let down by a left hander on the final game of the season. At first it was Tom Glavine, he was worn down but it was his time to shine. We all know about the collapse of 07. Next it was Oliver Perez (a day after the best baseball game I have ever seen from Johan) who had to prove his worth in New York.
Now in a fairy-tale, the Mets would have lost the first year only to come back to win it all the next. Sports has always been about this….the Steelers winning the Super Bowl behind Big Ben and the Colts winning it behind Peyton Manning…yet the cards were dealt differently for Mets fans who were let down by Perez and the bullpen.
When I’m not making YouTube videos with friends or playing Xbox 360, I write several articles for different periodicals. I write for a magazine at Hunter College in its first year called V.C.P.(Very Creative People), a little website called machochip, and my own personal blog on Google BlogSpot.
Look out 2008 Mets bullpen pitchers, I know each and every one of your names. Although I am still working on how to go about suing all of you, the day will come when I shall have my payback!

For Anyone Who Has Heard of Superman

For anyone who has ever heard of the superhero Superman, you know he has X- ray vision. How strong his X-ray vision was never found out but hopefully it isn’t as strong as the new X-ray machines. Millions of Americans who travel in the air frequently must now ask themselves that question about the newer and more enhanced X-ray machines. These machines are called Backscatter machines, since they not only photograph your front side, but they also photograph your backside.
Although they may be able to see weapons hidden anywhere on the body, they still see too much just to look for a weapon they may never find on many passengers. If you want to avoid this machine for the time being, just make sure you don’t have to go through security at Phoenix Sky Harbor in Arizona. That might be tough to do because of the statistics that say this airport is the 8th busiest airport in America. That is where the Transportation Security Administration is testing out the new X-ray machine after a four year long battle with privacy issues.
First, the machine will only be another option other than a pat down from a TSA official for passengers who need extra scanning or are randomly selected. Not only do the newer X-ray machines have the ability of finding more prohibited contraband, they also have the capability of speeding up security. This makes them a high contender to replace the already in use metal detectors.
Supposedly, to go around the privacy issues, these new machines are designed to blur out personal body parts while still being able to find weapons and contraband. However, the blurring of the body parts can make finding plastic weaponry, such as plastic explosives, more difficult.
They are already deciding whether or not they should be used for big city trains and subway stations. The TSA must wait for feedback from those in Phoenix Sky Harbor, not only the security officers, but also from the passengers who go through the machine. Hopefully, the feedback is going to be negative because I don’t wish to know some stranger saw me nude, front and back.

I Know It's Old....but Who Reads This Anyway!!!

It’s rare that a movie comes out like 300. A movie that you count down the days just until the movie comes out. Well those days are over. And 300 was well worth the wait.
The movie stays completely true to the $30 graphic novel it represents. King Leonidas, a Spartan, is threatened with slavery and imperialism. Leonidas, along with 300 of his best Spartan soldiers, take on thousands of Persians and slaves of King Xerces, a king who feels he is godlike, and he looks like a taller version of the singer Prince with a lot of piercings.
Gerald Butler, who plays King Leonidas, portrays the Spartan King exactly as he should be. Butler shows the might and honor of King Leonidas shown in the graphic novel. The other amazing aspect of 300 is how Frank Miller, the director, chose a complete cast of unknown actors and turned the movie into an instant hit. To address people confused with their Greek history, this movie has never claimed to be historically correct as many have and will argue. How Miller based this on a true story, yet showed Xerces and the Persians as brutal unmerciful humans, is just simply the way he wrote the graphic novel. Based on the history, they were heroes as well.
The photographer of this movie used the 1/3 photograph treatment and clever color schemes to achieve a sense of unity. Miller’s choice of music fits right in with the action of the movie. Also, the way Miller slows down the fighting during the goriest scenes fits perfectly in with the music and action to create the dynamic trio. Another reason why 300 is a must see movie are the visuals. They are simply astounding. However, this movie isn’t all about fighting. There are political scenes as well that take your breath away. One such scene is when Leonidas’ wife is speaking to the Spartan council asking them to send more troops to aid Leonidas in his fight for freedom. She states, “freedom isn’t free,” which is true on so many aspects. Personally, after seeing all the anti-war and anti-Bush documentaries that have been coming out, it’s nice to see a movie where they support our government.
This movie is rated R for all the right reasons, and I give it 4 stars. Once you see this movie, you won’t have to see any other movie because no movie can top 300. This is one of the few movies I will remember for a long time to come and Miller yet again creates an amazing movie.

Machogames: Fall To Your Death In Style In Mirror's Edge

There is a new way to view first person games. EA’s Mirror’s Edge is somewhat of a first person shooter, but mostly it is a first person runner, a setup that allows the player to experience this game genre in a whole new way.

Developer DICE has put everything on the line in this one, and they won’t be disappointed at the outcome. It has a unique feel to everything, including the first-person shooting, which is not the best aspect of the game by any means.

Mirror’s Edge starts out as any EA game does, with a tutorial introducing you to the city. You quickly learn the buttons and what you can do with your parkour powers. You are smoothly introduced into the life of Faith, a tough girl who grew up watching her parents become rebels trying to stop the city’s shift to oppressive control. Although “few even remember the bad old days” you can easily tell of the corruption when the cops start opening fire along with the insane advertisements throughout the single player that warn of children turning into runners. Now come on, who doesn’t want to run around as a sexy Asian chick jumping from rooftop to rooftop, even crouching down in order to hit cops in the privates.

Mirror’s Edge has one of the most addictive game play since Grand Theft Auto IV. Remember when you wanted to run up to a parked car, break the window and speed off with the stolen goods? Well, after playing this game for a couple of hours you will start to notice everything red you see in your peripherals in real life, also thinking of ways to reach them. Throughout Mirror’s Edge you need to jump obstacles and hurdle over gaps looking for either red jumps or red doors. Even the hint button for the XBOX 360 is the red B button. Honestly, how much red must there be in a single game?

It is widely known that no gamer can just go outside and start “parkouring.” So this game brings all the thrills of doing that activity to the player’s plate. The first time I fell to my death I actually got the excitement in my mind of free falling hundreds of feet. But, falling to my death more than once is enough. And you are anything but 50 Cent as you soon realize you can only take about seven bullets until you faint. Also, the guns are not as great as going up to a cop and knocking his lights out. Still, every game must have it’s flaws so I would highly recommend this game to anyone who liked playing games that resemble Assassin’s Creed. Just be prepared to have a lot of free falls, and understand the meaning of all rice, and no meat.

Mirror’s Edge is available for XBOX 360, Playstation 3 and the PC. $60 for the console version, $50 for the PC.

here is the link to my awesome new game review!!!!

Why do Special Editions Have to be so....Special?

So I have recently come across a rather annoying instance of me being screwed over by not buying the special edition of a game. Fable 2, for anyone who is wondering (and even reading). I got the regular one and just found out less than 1 minute ago that there is a Halo outfit that comes along with the special edition. I googled if I could somehow get it without having purchased the special edition to only be upset deeply. First, I could not get the reconz in Halo 3 and now I can not get the Hal outfit. Why must my life be so sad and depressing when it comes to outfits? Well, I can live for a little because my brother is making muffins and I am pretty sure that I yelled enough to get one. I yelled alot. Oh great, bloggers block.
And I called Gamestop earlier (the one on 86 street east side since it is the closest to my college) and wanted to know what was being given away for Gears of War 2. In short I found out that you receive a special gold thingy when you go at midnight to the launch give away sexay partay. Only if you go. Also, they are not giving anything away for Call of Duty World at War, but online they are...wait, no they are not. That is only SPECIAL EDITION!!!!
I am going to go find out whats going on with my muffins

My Hiatus has been lifted...and Kids has been resurrected from the 90's

I have been gone a while but I have returned...the Mets really did a number on me and I knew that if I wrote anything it would be nagging about how they could have done better, and I simply do not want to do that to anyone who might me reading this (I hope at least ONE person is). So I am watching a movie from 1995 called Kids and jesus christ. First of all, I was 6 at the time and when I was their age there was none of that crap around me. And who the hell would let their child be in that movie? Especially that 12 year old girl in the very beginning!!! Well, I decided to look up where all the actors have gotten and found some interesting things...
Leo Fitzpatrick has been around and is My Name is Earl
Justin Pierce committed suicide on July 14, 2000
Chloe Sevigny is an Oscar winner
Rosario Dawson...well this role was made for her since she still does these types of movies
Jon Abrahams stars in decent movies from time to time
Harold Hunter died from a cocaine overdoes on Feb 17, 2006
Harmony Korine is still a nobody
You get the jist...out of the 7 people named 2 have died from their own hands and only one is well known (Dawson). Yet this movie made so much money...it was definitely the Garden State of the 1990's. Actually, Garden State was the Kids of the 2000's and there have been plenty more. Yet I still watched the movie in it's entirety and actually found it decent. Besides the fact that most of what you see if fiction, this movie was a great film...OK, I can not lie. This was a horrible film. Not because of the sex and drugs, I have no problem with that. Simply because when I was watching it, my brother walked in thinking I was watching a porno...

I Was The First One To Shea It

And Good riddance. After attending last nights horrible game at Shea, I notice many things. One of which is that Shea Stadium had to be cursed. I want to call it the Curse of Glavine on our Bullpen. There are other things as well, all having to do with who we should keep and get rid of. My first case is to keep Schoeneweis, he may have given up the homer but lets face it, Church has srtuck out 6 of his last 7 at bats and the Wright and Reyes have yet been able to kick it in gear. Next is to keep Wright, Reyes, Delgado, Schneider, Chruch, Easley, R.Martinez, A. Reyes, Beltran, Chavez, Evans, and Murphy. All these guys have proven themselves one way or another. Now for the pitchers to keep; Ayala, Figueroa, Maine, Niese, Parnell, Pelfrey, JOHAN (of course), Schoeneweis, Smith, and Stokes. Now my Shit List; Feliciano, Heilman, Knight, Pedro, Muniz, Perez, Rincon, Duaner, Castro, Castillo, Marlon Anderson, and Tatis. Most of these guys did good, but could be traded for amazing players. And please do not re sign Alou. and Wagner, please retire for us. We could use your money (to get K Rod). But am I the only one feeling that Santana should've started yesterday and Niese should've stayed pitching the saturday game? Johan would have been masterful and niese would have killed the Marlins!!!
So now i wait for April 13, 2009. For when the 2009 season kicks off in New York...Citi Field is opening first, not Yankee stadium the 3rd. Lets redo our bullpen!!!!
