For everyone that visits my blog, if there are any, this is for you

For the past few days I have been posting a bunch of crap stories just trying to build up my hits. Yeah, I would like to have a lot of traffic and try to build up a “fan-base” I guess, but that’s not how I wanted to do it. I want to be original, I want to write things that I am interested in and hopefully find others that are interested in the same thing as I am

What I am trying to say is that I have no clue what to use this blog for. Few things really interest me. I am pretty open to many new things and I try to not focus all of my thoughts on a few things. My whole life has been geared towards movies and video-games.

Since I was able to make noises that sounded something similar to words, I have been in my brother’s home movies. Since I am the youngest I was always given the part of the person who either:

a. Gets beaten up
b. Dies

I have suffered many injuries during my youth; whether it was getting kicked in the face or thrown over my brother’s shoulders onto a concrete driveway, I have been in the center of pain. Now, it seems most people would have been turned off of movies simply because of that, but not me. I spent more time watching movies than I did actually “acting” in them.

During my 19 years of life I have come to appreciate movies more than the average person my age. Sure, a lot of my friends like the same movies I like, but I feel like I see more of the way the movie was put together and how everything comes together at the end. My friends like movies for pure entertainment value, I like them because I want to know how they made that guy’s head getting chopped off look so real, or how they do some crazy, life threatening stunts they do.

After I watch a movie, I immediately go to www.imdb.com and look up the movie and the trivia on it. I want to know all of the inside information I can about what I just watched.

I am obsessed with film. Plain and simple. I want to be a film star alongside my brother, who is already on his way. But for me, being rich and famous isn’t exactly what I want, but I wouldn’t complain if I was given that. What I want to do is make kick-ass movies that I want to watch. What is the point in making a movie no one wants to see? Well, for one thing, that movie would never be made(unless you are Michael Bay or Uwe Boll), and second, why waste your time with something shitty when you could make the next Godfather?

Life is all about taking chances, and that is what I am here for, taking chances. So please, help me out here, what should I blog about? My life? Movies? Random news that will get me tons of hits a day? Let me know, I am all ears here.

Top 10 cheap gifts for coworkers

This website has a list of the Top 10 best gifts for coworkers. What is below is copied straight from the website.

1. Monitor/Screen Cleaners – If you’re a tech geek you are most likely staring at a computer screen all day long. Everybody hates a dusty screen so give your coworker one of these cute monitor cleaners! I found them for $5 at Bed Bath and Beyond. If they are too girly for the guys they sell countless more “boring” screen cleaners as well.

2. Worst Case Scenario Game (Work Version) – Who knew the popular Worst Case Scenario series has a version for Work! Here is the game description:

Be prepared to survive any workday worst-case scenario. From dealing with a boss who’s a control freak to stopping an overflowing toilet in the executive bathroom, you’ll have fun learning to survive the worst that comes with your job.

I found these on sale again at BBB for $2.99!

3. Mini Flashlight – So I was told by a lot of geeky guys that they all have some weird obsession with flashlights! You can find these ranging from 3 to 7 dollars at most stores like Target or even BBB. They are perfect to keep in the glove compartment in your car or on your desk. You never know when you’ll need a mini flashlight!
