If the the kids like it, the execs will find a way to fund it, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On it's release, Freddy was panned by almost every critic who reviewed it...irreverence is suicide. It's jokes too crude and pretty much too stoopid for the elite/average moviegoer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But if you watch Freddy a few times you may catch on to something: a quality called heart...Freddy could not be marketed--and hollywood hated that hard truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Freddy is the one movie--at a time of research and development--that took on one of the best themes imaginable--a theme that had been wildly neglected: the battle of the generations. Baby Boomer vs. X/Y...love vs hate...strength vs. fear...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Freddy was ruined by the system and needs to be seen for what it is: a vehicle of relevance, insightfullness, and heart. Freddy does a wonderful job at presenting a nice picture of these post mod, retrograde, and myopic times.

Back in the mid 90s—when I first was discovering music—I came across one on Henry’s spoken word albums; it changed my life for the worst. After hearing Henry’s thoughts towards culture, I then decided it was my duty—at the age of twelve—to become a flaming liberal/progressive. Being a progressive was not what I envisioned it would be. Honestly, I thought that being a progressive meant hanging out with hot chicks, drinking tons of beer, and doing tons of drugs. I was wrong. Being a liberal/progressive meant complaining about everything, hating the Midwest, and developing a myopic world view. Frankly, it was my pleasure seeking attitude that lead me to respect Henry Rollins.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Ten years later, watching television, I saw my hero—Henry Rollins—talking to another hypocrite by the name of Gore Vidal. At this time in my life, I had discovered that at a younger age I was ignorant when it came to human nature. Well, after listening to Henry recite the usual clichés geared towards George Bush and Conservatives, I found myself thinking about how an undeveloped and narcissistic &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;mind—or many for that manner—has the potential to poison our societal well. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;In an effort to relive my glory years, I decided to listen to one of Henry’s spoken words. To my recollection, this shit was revolutionary; in hindsight, this shit was bullshit. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;However, with my old age coming into factor, I have decided to give Henry another chance. How I will reconnect with Henry has yet to be determined; it might be something as small as watching his music video LIAR on youtube. Anyways, I must say that much of my potential rereverence for the man has to do with seeing him on FX’s critically acclaimed series Son’s of Anarchy. In the series, Henry plays a Neo-Nazi who--in this seaon's first episode--rapes a female. I guess rape is something Henry has always had an inclination towards; he certainly raped my impressionable soul when I was young.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2784569891497635130-1272604510877035647?l=mctoever.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mctoever.blogspot.com/feeds/1272604510877035647/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2784569891497635130&amp;postID=1272604510877035647' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2784569891497635130/posts/default/1272604510877035647'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2784569891497635130/posts/default/1272604510877035647'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mctoever.blogspot.com/2009/11/henry-rollins-my-friend.html' title='Henry Rollins--My Friend'/><author><name>Andrea T.

Obama's first month in office has absolutely proved a point: being a real man--or a real American citizen--is worthless in a vain society. What is real man or American citizen? Well, if you do not know, you should probably go talk to your grandparents--especially if they were your age during the forties or the fifties. For them it was not about the consumerist bullshit and trivialities; it was about realizing what makes America a great country--and when challenged--when people challenged their beliefs--they were able to put those feelings into motion and thus prove that America is the world's superior nation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stay tuned...there will be more to come.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2784569891497635130-4809662662442865547?l=mctoever.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mctoever.blogspot.com/feeds/4809662662442865547/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2784569891497635130&amp;postID=4809662662442865547' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2784569891497635130/posts/default/4809662662442865547'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2784569891497635130/posts/default/4809662662442865547'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mctoever.blogspot.com/2009/02/blog-post.html' title='+&lt;&gt;+&lt;&gt;+&lt;&gt;+&lt;&gt;+&lt;&gt;'/><author><name>Andrea T.

Has the American male gone on indefinite hiatus? Now that we have pregnant men growing Bob Dylan beards--circa New Morning--the nation seems to have entered its nadir. What is the cause of this? Are men--not women--fearful of self-actualization? I now it can be an ordeal to reach one's full potential; it's good if we strive for something, though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the present idolization for Obama, the theory of the death of the American man is developing into an actuality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the past forty years we have seen the many ills arise in America: backwards feminism, backwards civil rights, environmentalism, and rampant hypocrisy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, for the first time in the history of America, we have a candidate who promotes many of the ills to which are destroying our American culture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This country is not by nature barbaric like Europe; we have based our existence on faith and order.

But was she always mediocre? Let's examine this: when Madonna arrived on the scene in 1982 with the single Everybody, Everyone was feeling her. At the time, her style was unique and people thin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;king she was something different decided to to emulate her. In 86' Madonna released the album True Blue, which is a decent album. In 89' Madonna released the album Like a Prayer, which has some decent tracks. After Like a Prayer, Madonna took a three year break to make a few shitty movies--Dick Tracy and another film a cannot remember the name of --and became interested in fucking Warren &lt;span id="gtbmisp_8" style="border: 0pt none ; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; position: static; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial; text-align: left; text-indent: 0pt; text-transform: none; text-decoration: underline; cursor: pointer;font-family:serif;font-size:100%;color:red;"   &gt;Beatty&lt;/span&gt;. In 92' Madonna made &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;her immaculate return with the album Erotica&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;, which is the start of her simulacra era. Erotica--in my estimation--is garbage; it portrays itself as liberating and groundbreaking, but it comes off as moaning and toadying. The same year--1992-also saw the release of Madonna's Sex book, which the material girl used as an &lt;span id="gtbmisp_9" style="border: 0pt none ; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; position: static; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial; text-align: left; text-indent: 0pt; text-transform: none; text-decoration: underline; cursor: pointer;font-family:serif;font-size:100%;color:green;"   &gt;avenue&lt;/span&gt; to show off her intimate side. By the mid 90's--with Bedtime Stories--Madonna decided to go New Jack on us all and got her nose pierced. A couple years later, she started &lt;span id="gtbmisp_10" style="border: 0pt none ; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; position: static; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial; text-align: left; text-indent: 0pt; text-transform: none; text-decoration: underline; cursor: pointer;font-family:serif;font-size:100%;color:red;"   &gt;fuckin&lt;/span&gt;' random Latin men and had a kid, scared us with her acting chops, and performed a song for the soundtrack for the second Austin Powers movie. In 98' Madonna released Ray of Light. During this time, Madonna also became spiritual; she was now a full fledged &lt;span id="gtbmisp_11" style="border: 0pt none ; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; position: static; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial; text-align: left; text-indent: 0pt; text-transform: none; text-decoration: underline; cursor: pointer;font-family:serif;font-size:100%;color:red;"   &gt;Kabbalist&lt;/span&gt;.  I really do not know what Madonna was trying to do with this; the album is quite &lt;span id="gtbmisp_12" style="border: 0pt none ; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; position: static; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial; text-align: left; text-indent: 0pt; text-transform: none; text-decoration: underline; cursor: pointer;font-family:serif;font-size:100%;color:green;"   &gt;schizophrenic&lt;/span&gt;. Is it a pop album?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; Is it an atmospheric album? Is it a trip hop album&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;? If you are making an atmospheric album, one has to concive it into an entire loop--every song has to pla&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;y off the previous song. But Madonna likes money, so she has to have a few singles on the album. I guess Madonna does not care abou&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;t strcuture. Last year, Madonna released an new album geared at hipsters and wasters. The album, which is titled Hard Candy, features the chops of some of today's hottest producers: Pharrell Williams, Timbaland, and Kanye West. Also, Justin Timberlake makes an appearnce on the album's first single, Four Minutes to change the World. Madonna is also pictured wearing spandex on the album's cover; she looks like an old lady at jazzercise. Some people would assume that my dislike of the modern Madonna is due in part to her open doors policy. &lt;/span&gt;Honestly, I could care less that Madonna, at age fifty, is still a rabid whore. What I don't like about Madonna is that she has now become comfortable and determined to stay young and not age gracefully.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--Diablo Cody---&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_Fo3dss7cv60/SHGEzSHdGPI/AAAAAAAAAH8/OMzXKx7Thac/s1600-h/1197742948_8636.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_Fo3dss7cv60/SHGEzSHdGPI/AAAAAAAAAH8/OMzXKx7Thac/s400/1197742948_8636.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220099459670415602" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Born in Lemont and grown at Benet, Diblo was born to break the scene in Minneapolis.

Barrio--in my estimation--has become a modern day Thomas Jerome Newton; it makes you wonder if this man is a native of planet earth. If this dolt gets elected, the futurities are hard to imagine.  &lt;p&gt; With all of his gaffes aside, there are numerous issues one must take into account to&lt;br /&gt;truly psychoanalyze Mr. Barrio Lopez.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_Fo3dss7cv60/SD18xUNJ-pI/AAAAAAAAAGI/5oF2vpd31ZQ/s1600-h/Slater.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_Fo3dss7cv60/SD18xUNJ-pI/AAAAAAAAAGI/5oF2vpd31ZQ/s400/Slater.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5205453930989484690" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt; After examining the speech he gave at Wesleyan, I thought to myself that&lt;br /&gt;this guy is full of himself. The Audacity to tell everyone that collectivism is&lt;br /&gt;the secret to alleviating all ills in society is just plain silly. I myself&lt;br /&gt;cannot depend on my neighbor to water my flowers when I am away on vacation.&lt;br /&gt;Can I truly expect him to teach inner-city kids to love supply side economics&lt;br /&gt;and global warming? Also, the evils he associated to "our money&lt;br /&gt;culture" was ultimately ungrateful and borderline hypocritical. What is&lt;br /&gt;more mind-boggling than anything is his disdain for the designer suit. If it&lt;br /&gt;was not for the designer suit, charlatans like Barrio would have difficulties&lt;br /&gt;finding a decent paying or high profile job. Could one imagine Barrio getting&lt;br /&gt;elected for office or hired at a prestigious law firm wearing a patchouli&lt;br /&gt;drenched hemp hoodie and matching short shorts? Heck, I wonder if Barrio feels&lt;br /&gt;bitterness towards Bruno Magli Wingtips? I always was under the impression that&lt;br /&gt;Barrio was a fan of Saks and Lord and Taylor--this indefinitely is a revelation to&lt;br /&gt;me. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt; I do not have anything against the man, but who ever convinced him to&lt;br /&gt;run for president needs a talking to; Barrio is not ready to take the reins of&lt;br /&gt;the free world while the rest of us are held as the blindfolded&lt;br /&gt;hostage/passenger.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2784569891497635130-807634017423967783?l=mctoever.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mctoever.blogspot.com/feeds/807634017423967783/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2784569891497635130&amp;postID=807634017423967783' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2784569891497635130/posts/default/807634017423967783'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2784569891497635130/posts/default/807634017423967783'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mctoever.blogspot.com/2008/05/barrio-lopez-anointed-one.html' title='Barrio Lopez: The Anointed One'/><author><name>Andrea T.

Apparently, he talked to a few folks in Boca. He --no surprise to us all--talked about the need for socialism. He sees socialism--for some reason--as a device to elucidate all of the world's inequities. Barry, socialism has never been successful on large scale; it leads to societal and moral decay. Barry, if you want to improve the world, you should stop your pandering. Barry, people see through your transparency; they see you as a charlatan, a phony. When you talk about mongering--hate, fear, and now rumor--you sound like a little girl who has just been denied a second glass of milk. Barry, you probably are a decent dude--I might even want to have an ice cream cone with you. However, your pandering needs to stop--and yes you pander more than Marmaduke and young Billy Winslow.

In all my years of watching television, the Wire is the only show I have gone out of my way to watch every week. Some people may say that Hill Street Blues is the best hour long cop drama in the history of television, but I would have to go out on a limb and say that David Simon's work on the Wire and Homicide: Life on the Street is the best cop drama content ever. Andre Braugher--besides Casey Affleck--is the most underrated actor working today. Saying Hill Street Blues is better than the Wire or Homicide is like professing that the talent of the Ritz Brothers trumps the talent of the Marx Brothers; it just does not add up.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2784569891497635130-1578843310244402062?l=mctoever.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mctoever.blogspot.com/feeds/1578843310244402062/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2784569891497635130&amp;postID=1578843310244402062' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2784569891497635130/posts/default/1578843310244402062'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2784569891497635130/posts/default/1578843310244402062'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mctoever.blogspot.com/2008/01/season-five-of-wire-premiers-tonight.html' title=''/><author><name>Andrea T.

My belief has always been that you might as well be dead if you have nothing to say. There are quite a few areas on the net where inanition is quite common. The problem that I see with most blogs--mainstream blogs especially--is that the content covered is trivial at best--and deserved substance is an after thought. I really like to read and hear about interesting ideas; I know most people have them. I will admit that I have been rather stagnant in thought lately. I guess I better pick up my game. If I stay like this, I am going to be quite miserable in the near future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's also dangerous to speak in cliches. I often utilize the cliche because it is quite the cop out. I do prefer colloquials, which is a term that has been stripped of its true meaning.

It was brought to my attention that quite a few people enjoy listening to Fagen and Becker's 1977 classic album AJA. I guess I like the AJA album; it's alright to listen to when you are sitting at the bar drinking black and tans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my opinion, Can't Buy a Thrill is the ultimate S.D. album; it's complete from the edge to the center. The song that gets my attention has to be Brooklyn (Owes the Charmer Under Me). Its simplicity is quite wonderful--though many have accused it of setting back music for ten years. Admittedly, If I was alive during 1972, you know that Can't Buy a Thrill would be blaring through my headphones. Also, it must be mentioned that Can't Buy a Thrill set the blueprint for the TV theme song from the year 1974 to 1985. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;cool...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2784569891497635130-7614086870941200517?l=mctoever.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mctoever.blogspot.com/feeds/7614086870941200517/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2784569891497635130&amp;postID=7614086870941200517' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2784569891497635130/posts/default/7614086870941200517'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2784569891497635130/posts/default/7614086870941200517'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mctoever.blogspot.com/2007/12/what-are-you-taking-about.html' title='What are you taking about?'/><author><name>Andrea T.

Released back in August, it was not till last month that I was able to discover the greatness of this album. It's one of those albums that everyone seems to like, yet you do not--or I, myself--feel guilty for enjoying. I know the whole shoegazer excitement has waned since the early--0r mid 90's. However, I envision 2008 will see a return of the shoegazer.

One word that comes to mind is fervid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is so much crap in the real world. If you ever listen to a conversation amongst suburban moms at Panera Bread or co-workers at the company cafeteria, you will hear some serious shit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like serious shit, too. However, sometimes you just need a break from the world's mental masturbation to enjoy a nice juicy peach--or read news articles concerning inflation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why does everyone consider themselves writers? Hey, I think it would be fulfilling to be a cobbler or a blacksmith, but I would feel rather guilty if I was to call myself a cobbler or a blacksmith. Don't you have to be proficient at something to consider yourself a subject matter expert? Shoe repair needs to recruit some fine young men.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember the days when people enjoyed watching real porn. Though, now, it seems people enjoy watching softcore--ghost dad porn--more profoundly than hardcore porn. It kinda reminds of the existent schism of chemical preference. Meaning: kids of yesteryear enjoyed using hardcore drugs; kids of modern times enjoy blowin' weed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's alright to feel skeptical if you have been screwed over in the past. I wonder what would happen if you more people were skeptical? I think people get too comfortable with making $!5 an hour and forget what is really important.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2784569891497635130-1858452268679513885?l=mctoever.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mctoever.blogspot.com/feeds/1858452268679513885/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2784569891497635130&amp;postID=1858452268679513885' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2784569891497635130/posts/default/1858452268679513885'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2784569891497635130/posts/default/1858452268679513885'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mctoever.blogspot.com/2007/09/fish-crips.html' title='Fish &amp; Crips...'/><author><name>Andrea T.

After the takeover is complete, the government would then assign each citizen a fast food restaurant from which he or she would be allowed to eat at for free. However, each citizen would only be allowed to eat at one particular restaurant--no consumption multiples of McDonalds/Arbys or Arthur Treachers/Burger King. I really have no significant idea in regards to how each citizen would be assigned, but I guess weight and economic standing could be two determinants. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just like any other state ran entity, the government would have to delegate cronies to take over each restaurant chain. I am quite ignorant towards the current pecking order, but I believe Ralph Reed Jr. would be an adroit handler Jimmy John's; we would probably see an interesting product line.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People would not be forced to eat fast food. I bet the paperwork to get accepted by McDonalds would be rather tiresome. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would fast food owned by government cultivate a pejorative?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2784569891497635130-6012117616813439038?l=mctoever.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mctoever.blogspot.com/feeds/6012117616813439038/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2784569891497635130&amp;postID=6012117616813439038' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2784569891497635130/posts/default/6012117616813439038'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2784569891497635130/posts/default/6012117616813439038'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mctoever.blogspot.com/2007/08/i-think-government-should-take-over.html' title=''/><author><name>Andrea T.

I guess I got rather sick of the commercial bullshit that was ruining the business--quite a few performers were trying to break into the the mainstream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2007, however, the porn industry has cleansed itself of the &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;prosaicness&lt;/span&gt; that has been present since the early 2000's.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't want to recommend any particular film from the past year, but if you look, you are bound to find some solid shit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After seeing the Viva Viagra commercial a couple weeks ago, I can honestly say that the advertising industry is headed for its nadir. Along with the student winning commercial for GM that was shown during the Super Bowl, the Viva Viagra ad is part of a group of ads that are helping aid the realisation of capitalistic realism--I think it always existed, but it has vastly expanded its presence this decade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From my own experience--I graduated from SIUC in 2005 with a degree in Advertising/IMC--professors of advertising are inclined to teach Capitalistic Realism at the University level. It's not about creating a unique concept; it's about finding a rational demographic to manipulate. If you want to attain excellent grades in Advertising, which will land you a job at one of the few big agencies, it will be required of you to sit in a drafty library for 5-7 hours reading the latest in consumer behavior reports. If you want to be considered mediocre--and receive C's--by a slew of washed up individuals who consider themselves members of academia, it's paramount to be creative and ignore the fact that suburban moms like to purchase sugary cereal and drive big vehicles. Honestly, I would love to see a dildo marketed towards moms aged 27-34 who live in suburban Midwestern towns. This Dildo, however, would have to be extra thick. Anyways, in regards to the subject, most students who I knew were scared shitless of those who taught them; they never questioned what they were being taught.  It's so sad to see your peers enter a field of manipulation. At the end of  day, the individuals who work in advertising are duped by the practice to which they help keep in a stable form--one ready for posterity. It's like an EMT resuscitating a serial killer just so he/she can be murdered by the vile individual who they spared only because the job required it; if you ask me that is a pretty rotten trade-off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember seeing this commercial during an airing of Drexel's Class back in early 1992:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="350" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qG1uUiCrsPA"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qG1uUiCrsPA" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="292" width="354"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2784569891497635130-6390446097827952010?l=mctoever.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mctoever.blogspot.com/feeds/6390446097827952010/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2784569891497635130&amp;postID=6390446097827952010' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2784569891497635130/posts/default/6390446097827952010'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2784569891497635130/posts/default/6390446097827952010'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mctoever.blogspot.com/2007/08/as-of-late-i-have-rejuvenated-my.html' title=''/><author><name>Andrea T.

It was an alright event; I drank way too much, but I didnt puke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is my recap:&lt;br /&gt;*I got to the park at around 1 pm; I spent about 20 min trying to find the drink bracelets. After finding the drink bracelets, I finally bought my first two beers of the day--two 16 oz. cups for $5 each. I smoked a cigarette and then headed over to watch the Son Volt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Son Volt, a band I have seen before, played its new album from top to bottom. I guess they sounded alright, but it was not the best I have ever heard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After Son Volt finished up, I walked around for awhile and smoked so more. I watched the Polyphonic Spree at the Bud Light Stage for about a min and then left to go explore the festival. I had a slice of Connies' pizza--$4--and then went to get another beer. This time, I purchased a 22 oz bud for $7. I walked around and drank some more beer for the next couple hours. I made the obligatory trip to the atm to pay the $3.75 service charge. I gave some cigs away; I took a few pees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I then made my way over to watch .Moe perform. After watching .Moe jamit up, I remembered that I hate jam bands and decided to to head over to the opposite end of the venue to watch the Black Keys perform.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I forgot how much I like the Black Keys. I was getting into the whole drum-guitar thing...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the Keys finished up, I headed over to get a space for Daft Punk; I caught a little bit of LCD on the way to the At&amp;t stage...I took a few pees, drank a few more beers, and smoked. I ran into MTV news; they asked if I wanted to be interviewed, but I said no. I really hate MTV and what it stands for--Kurt Loda Shit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After waiting for an hour, Daft Punk started up; I was pretty close to the stage. The fuckin' lights mesmerized me; I thought I was going to shit my pants. I left the venue early; I pushed some asshole onto the ground.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Batman made me go a block out of my way; I got on the train; I passed out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Goodnight...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2784569891497635130-7110984170602033555?l=mctoever.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mctoever.blogspot.com/feeds/7110984170602033555/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2784569891497635130&amp;postID=7110984170602033555' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2784569891497635130/posts/default/7110984170602033555'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2784569891497635130/posts/default/7110984170602033555'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mctoever.blogspot.com/2007/08/my-dumb-ass-found-it-down-to-grant-park.html' title=''/><author><name>Andrea T.

I know they are not from Boston, but Dramarama is a solid group, as well. Everyone knows the song Anything, Anything off the Cinema Verite album. I know a few--probably around ten--people who like the song. I remember I was watching Vh1 with some friends a couple years back and a promo for Bands Reunited was shown during a commercial break--and the band that was on the verge of reuniting was...Dramarama. In seeing the possibility of of a Dramarama reunion, everyone who had heard of the band was like: "I love that song they recorded in the 80's. Is it called Promises, Promises?" Someone who was cognizant towards pop hits from the 1980's interjected: "No, you are thinking of Anything, Anything; Mister, Mister recorded Promises, Promises." The people who knew the facts kept quiet; it seems as though alliteration was quite popular in the 80's.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I tell people I like the Boston scene of the mid 80's, I am always asked whether or not I enjoy the Pixies. I always answer: I like a few of their songs--Here Comes Your Man--but I probably don't like them as much as you do. To be honest, I think some of the lyrics Black Francis/Frank Black wrote for the band are interesting, but the sound is redundant--and very myopic. Pixies infatuation is very perplexing. Was Soul Asylum better than the Replacements? Was Ricky Nelson better than Eddie Cochran? My education has taught me that it is better to search out the primary source than it is to search out the secondary source.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the primary source mattered to most, Mission of Burma's Vs. would receive the same accolades that the first three Pixes albums receive--heck, the Obliterati is light years ahead of anything the Pixies ever recorded.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2784569891497635130-6610615335221127968?l=mctoever.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mctoever.blogspot.com/feeds/6610615335221127968/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2784569891497635130&amp;postID=6610615335221127968' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2784569891497635130/posts/default/6610615335221127968'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2784569891497635130/posts/default/6610615335221127968'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mctoever.blogspot.com/2007/07/i-downloaded-big-dippers-heaven-off.html' title=''/><author><name>Andrea T.

I could talk about a book I just read--suburban nation. However, I was not impressed with it the first time I read it, and the second reading did not help me change my mind in regards to the book. I guess it was filled with too many generalities--tell me something new or at least cultivate an interesting view on things. It was not as loathsome as reading Naomi Klein, but it was still kinda (blah).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Soap Operas: any good one's out there. I remember staying with my grandma in Tower, MN, back in the early 90's and all we did was watch soap operas. Back then, soap operas were actually well made. In the year 2007, soap operas seem rather mediocre. Is there something I'm missing?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bodog: Battle of the Bands: A show that's not as good as Vh1's Bands on the Run. Of all of the 2-million reality shows I have been subjected to since the early 2000's, Band's on the Run takes the cake--I actually rooted for Soulcracker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't know...Prince's Planet Earth is Coming out Tuesday. I guess I might have to buy it--kinda impressed he played first ave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like Akon's "Sorry, Blame it on Me." I guess it's a good pop song--and a good slice of life. I remember watching Steel Magnolios back in HS because it was considered an excellent example of a SLICEofLIfe. FUCK...Akon's newest single has to be the best reaction song I have heard since South Bronx was made to counter the Bridge--and it's telling of the times. With the shit that goes on in the suburbs--parents letting their kids get away with murder--this is a song that needs to make a dent on the charts.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2784569891497635130-3926080143732330333?l=mctoever.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mctoever.blogspot.com/feeds/3926080143732330333/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2784569891497635130&amp;postID=3926080143732330333' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2784569891497635130/posts/default/3926080143732330333'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2784569891497635130/posts/default/3926080143732330333'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mctoever.blogspot.com/2007/07/hey-guys-i-have-not-posted-at-blog-for.html' title='&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;'/><author><name>Andrea T.

The show is called &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1034818/"&gt;The Erotic Traveler&lt;/a&gt;--I believe it is a series on the channel. I remember back in the early 90's--when my family first got the movie channels--I used to sneak off to the downstairs family room to watch the late night softcore on Cinemax. Kids--I doubt they liked me to begin with--wanted to sleep over at my house so they could watch softcore; it was quite a big deal for us. Anytime we would hear footsteps from upstairs, we would switch over to Ozzie and Harriet re-runs on the Disney Channel--and this was softcore we were watching. Getting to my point, kids who are in middle school in the year 2007 are spoiled. When I was a kid, it was a chore to get a playboy, so being able to watch softcore was a big deal. All kids have to do nowadays is jump on the internet and type in the word old cunt; it will then lead them to the image of their friend's grandma giving a young man a monroe transfer.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2784569891497635130-2063862686471362295?l=mctoever.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mctoever.blogspot.com/feeds/2063862686471362295/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2784569891497635130&amp;postID=2063862686471362295' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2784569891497635130/posts/default/2063862686471362295'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2784569891497635130/posts/default/2063862686471362295'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mctoever.blogspot.com/2007/07/fun-inthe-summer.html' title='Fun-in_the-summer'/><author><name>Andrea T.

So, I decided to download a few albums off SLSK from the likes of Kyuss, Monster Magnet, and Nebula. I love this shit; it's great stupid fun--and stupid in the best way. Some people who I know call it mediocre grunge, but I always have to disagree. I see quite a few more layers in stoner rock than grunge. I always saw grunge--mainstream at least--as a genre that was rather formulaic. You always knew where grunge was going to go at all times; it never plays tricks on your mind. On the other hand, stoner rock is pretty fuckin' schizophrenic; it always is taking on a different form--and is quite clever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_Fo3dss7cv60/Rpsjwizvm6I/AAAAAAAAAC8/_cBjLGljUvY/s1600-h/C_Kyuss.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_Fo3dss7cv60/Rpsjwizvm6I/AAAAAAAAAC8/_cBjLGljUvY/s320/C_Kyuss.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5087699520929635234" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_Fo3dss7cv60/RpskDizvm7I/AAAAAAAAADE/S7zyt9lIm5E/s1600-h/6908.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_Fo3dss7cv60/RpskDizvm7I/AAAAAAAAADE/S7zyt9lIm5E/s320/6908.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5087699847347149746" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2784569891497635130-395450401301448115?l=mctoever.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mctoever.blogspot.com/feeds/395450401301448115/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2784569891497635130&amp;postID=395450401301448115' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2784569891497635130/posts/default/395450401301448115'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2784569891497635130/posts/default/395450401301448115'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mctoever.blogspot.com/2007/07/stonerrock.html' title='stoner_rock'/><author><name>Andrea T.

He did whatever he wanted; he got whatever he wanted. One of his projects--the Cross Bronx Expressway--turned the South Bronx into an urban cesspool--I guess the area had some middle class inhabitants before the expressway was built, but they left for the suburbs. Eventually, this area, which became filled with drugs and violence during the latter part of the 70's, gave birth to hip hop. Mr. Moses is without a doubt one of the cultivators of hip hop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ebenezer Howard&lt;br /&gt;I remember reading about him in a book--with a name I can't recall--a couple years ago. I guess he became obsessed with &lt;a href="http://www.mtv.com/onair/twentyfourseven/flipbooks/whitman/whitman_06.jpg"&gt;Walt Whitman&lt;/a&gt;--and was encouraged to better the human race. Around 1890, Mr. Howard read the book Looking Backward--and Town and Country was birthed. Mr. Howard, certainly, was a cultivator of headaches and death caused by mini vans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_Fo3dss7cv60/RpiBZCzvm5I/AAAAAAAAAC0/KJwV54bR3Bo/s1600-h/000539.2-lg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_Fo3dss7cv60/RpiBZCzvm5I/AAAAAAAAAC0/KJwV54bR3Bo/s320/000539.2-lg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5086958046365588370" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I really want to write some more tonight. I want to talk about cool shit, but I really don't know what's cool these days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Sleep: The group that everyone should listen to when they are high/sober&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found this CD today and loaded it into my iTunes. I must say that this little remembrance of days gone by still packs the jams. I must of listened to Sleep from 4 to 5 pm everyday for almost three years--sophomore through senior. I remember people used to give me shit for listening to Sleep; they compared them to the other dime-a-dozen stoner rock bands that polluted suburban Chicago basements back then. Listening to Sleep is not about getting stoned; it's on parallel with the greatest Coltrane or Miles Davis albums: by the end, you are consumed with the sweats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really do not think a person has to be stoned to enjoy sleep, which is something you can't say about most of Sleep's peers from the mid 90's. If you are interested in music theory--and bullshit like that--you will enjoy Sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="350" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zj9IAvv32wE"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zj9IAvv32wE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="350" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sean Kingston's Beautiful Girls: probably one of the best throwback songs I have heard in awhile. If Beautiful Girls was a conventional throwback, it would be the powder blue Chargers home jersey or the two tone hat that the Blue Jays used to wear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="350" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cJn40QfiS2U"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cJn40QfiS2U" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="350" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Blue Jays are one of the many teams that has screwed up its identity--now the Atlanta Hawks can be added to the list. Back in the early/mid 90's--when the Blue Jays were a solid team--the two tone hat and jersey set was worn by quite a few kids at my elementary school--and so was the Oakland Raider starter jacket. Most of these kids were ignorant to who played third base for the Jays--&lt;a href="http://www.whitelands.com/test/gruber.jpg"&gt;Kelly Gruber&lt;/a&gt;--or who managed the team--&lt;a href="http://www.baseballhalloffame.ca/images/inductees/citoGaston.jpg"&gt;Cito Gaston&lt;/a&gt;; these kids liked the image. Today, I cannot see anyone going out of their way--too bad Holiday Plus went under--to purchase a polyester black Blue Jays hat. I willadmit that the graphite hat which the team wore at home until this season was kind of unique. Still, I miss the days when it was alright for a Minnesota kid to wear an A's or White Sox shirt to school. Unless you are a hipster, you are more than likely to wear the colors of your home team these days. In the early/mid 90's,  you wore the Quebec Nordiques blue road jersey because you liked the colors--and that was an acceptable response. If you respond in the same manner in 2007, people are bound to think of you as a twat--team/city loyalty is at its highest.

I must say that I have seen every episode of Family Ties from season four to the end of the series, but I have neglected to watch the first couple seasons of the show--with the exception of the Uncle Ned episodes with Tom Hanks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After watching every episode from season one--22 in all--I must say that the Jennifer (Tina Yothers) actually played an integral role on the show. Next to Michael J. Fox, Yothers portrayal of the precocious younger sister helped make the show interesting--she often was the one to put the outspoken Alex into his place. Once she hit puberty, Yothers was regulated to Michael Fishman or Kiesha Knight Pullium duty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the show's infancy, Michael Gross was sans beard. When I was a kid, Michael Gross with beard was one of the most recognizable characters on television.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I talked to someone last night about Family Ties, and he said that the show was a carbon copy ripoff of Growing Pains. Well, for one thing, Growing Pains premiered in 1985; Family Ties premiered in 1982. Family Ties--especially, early on--had some interesting social commentary; Growing Pains was all about Mike Seaver getting in trouble or getting fired from his job at the burger joint.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best Episode from season one: "Death of a Grocer"&lt;br /&gt;This is the episode where Alex leaves his job at Alder's Market to work in cat toys at the new supermarket. In the end, Alex realizes that he received more pleasure working at Alder's and quits the job where he was known only as 28. Also, Erwin "Skippy" Handleman (Marc Price) made his series debut during this episode. Skippy (Mr. Price) went above and beyond to make the character his own. Some compare Skippy to Urkel in annoyance, but Skippy was never one-dimensional like Urkel; he was comprised of many layers--he could be Alex's goofball friend or a great friend who is always there for his buddy.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2784569891497635130-7530879174435034894?l=mctoever.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mctoever.blogspot.com/feeds/7530879174435034894/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2784569891497635130&amp;postID=7530879174435034894' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2784569891497635130/posts/default/7530879174435034894'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2784569891497635130/posts/default/7530879174435034894'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mctoever.blogspot.com/2007/07/family-ties.html' title='Family Ties'/><author><name>Andrea T.

I did not see the Gators play during the regular season but what I saw during the post season, especially against the Ohio State, was quite impressive. The defense this guy plays at the perimeter is absolute jaw droppin. This guy is going to be the second best player the franchise has ever seen--taking a passenger seat next to KG. The addition of Brewer will take the pressure of K.G on the defensive end of the floor. It seems like K.G. has been playing the perimeter more than he should have to lately. This has created mismatches upfront--and the T'wolves have struggled to cover up those mismatches. Last week--with it appearing that K.G. was a lock to leave town--it looked certain that the franchise was on its way out of town. Man, the draft can sure change everything. With the team picking up Brewer, there is no reason for McHale to trade K.G. The team actually could make a run in its division this year. Yeah, I know that Portland picked up Oden and Seattle picked up Durant, but those two are a couple years off from making a major impact. Yeah, the Nuggets have Carmelo and AI, but they have yet to prove that their alliance is going to work out for Denver.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, with KG, Brewer, Foye, Craig Smith; the T'wolves have a decent chance of winning the division this year. Heck, the Celtics completed a drastic turnaround in the late 70's after Larry Bird debuted with the team (29-53 to 61-21).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_Fo3dss7cv60/RoWbc-rNnRI/AAAAAAAAACE/1iIaTiBRnDY/s1600-h/caps_kings.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 489px; height: 191px;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_Fo3dss7cv60/RoWbc-rNnRI/AAAAAAAAACE/1iIaTiBRnDY/s320/caps_kings.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5081638676720360722" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I talked, briefly, last week about the new Edge uniforms that Reebok is going to infiltrate the NHL with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After seeing a few leaked pictures of the sweaters, I am quite ambivalent towards the change. I guess I will have to see how bad Reebok/Adidas screwed up the Wild's image--it might be awhile before it's released (late August or September).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess replicas will go for $115.

In the fourth quarter of the game, some rookie jumped and beat a Pacers defender for a rebound. The rookie I am talking about later developed into one of the best players of his era--or KG.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When KG grabbed that board, he did the best one armed windmail that has ever crossed my eyes. It was like you knew this kid would change the fortunes of the franchise--I wore an AND 1 shirt that year that read franchise. Little did I know but that rookie would be known as the franchise--my friends could not even pronounce what that word on my shirt read.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Loyalty is hard to come about these days. Loyalty is about Kirby Puckett signing for less to be with the team that made him a man. Loyalty is about standing up for you friends when you known that they are, in fact, dolts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Loyalty is about unconditional love.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2784569891497635130-3551131502598737932?l=mctoever.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mctoever.blogspot.com/feeds/3551131502598737932/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2784569891497635130&amp;postID=3551131502598737932' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2784569891497635130/posts/default/3551131502598737932'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2784569891497635130/posts/default/3551131502598737932'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mctoever.blogspot.com/2007/06/love.html' title='LOVE...'/><author><name>Andrea T.

When I woke up today, my sack was in a bit of pain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe it's cancer or a hernia. I should probably go and get it checked out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Summer television is pretty lame--can't say I'm a fan of the reality show:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Pirate Master&lt;br /&gt;*The Next Best Thing&lt;br /&gt;*So You Think You Can Dance&lt;br /&gt;*Big Brother 99&lt;br /&gt;*Hasselhoff Knows Talent&lt;br /&gt;*Ex-Wives Club&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Top Chef: I guess people watch it on the Bravo.

I really never was into Drum+Bass before hearing Klute, but there were so many hooks and melodies in the sound--and I had to, thus, rethink my stance towards the Drum+Bass scene.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Klute, definitely, proves that Drum+Bass can be progressive, not stagnant.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2784569891497635130-7938715109483604201?l=mctoever.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mctoever.blogspot.com/feeds/7938715109483604201/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2784569891497635130&amp;postID=7938715109483604201' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2784569891497635130/posts/default/7938715109483604201'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2784569891497635130/posts/default/7938715109483604201'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mctoever.blogspot.com/2007/06/mums.html' title='\\MuMs//'/><author><name>Andrea T.

So, the Sopranos ended its seven year run last night on the HBO.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can someone tell me what happened?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is some wicked oompa music that is being played outside of my house right now. It reminds me of the time when some neighbors had a two-day Oktoberfest party--could of been 2003. For two solid days, my neighbors drank and listened to some crazy oompa music--and probably ate some sausage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am thinking about purchasing some old polka records. I hate to admit it, but I have been listening to quite a bit of the Polka on the youtube lately. I really like the structure of the music. When I was a little guy, all the old timers were all about the polka. What would you rather listen to: Frank Yankovic or the weak beats of Scott Storch? Also, any form of music that utilizes the banjo--it stands next only to the pedal steel as the best musical instrument--has to bee alright.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Big Love..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/51CPK23NW7L._SS500_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/51CPK23NW7L._SS500_.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Big Love returns to the HBO tonight. I watched the first episodes from season one last summer; I thought it was ok at first. However, after episode six, I mainly used Big Love as a tool to help me get to sleep after I finished work at one in the morning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have yet to read the review concerning the first couple episodes from season two. I am sure the critics are not into it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is quite a &lt;span class="secondary-bf"&gt;seraphicalness&lt;/span&gt; to the opening credits. The show would be more interesting if it based its episodes on the events that transpire during the opening credits. I remember the reason I watched the show during season one was because I turned on HBO right as "God Only Knows" by the Beach Boys was being played to the sight of ice skating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Movies:&lt;br /&gt;Ruling Class&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/51M2EBADXFL._SS500_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/51M2EBADXFL._SS500_.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;With Venus being released on DVD a couple weeks ago, I have been on a big Peter O'Toole kick lately.

Anyways, after twenty minutes, I went to the pot and spit out a pot of shit. After taking a crap, I went and laid down in my bed---and then I had to go again.  I walked 20-feet towards my parents bedroom and laid some in their bathroom--I went back to my bedroom and laid some rest.  10 minutes later, I went and laid some in my bathroom.

The word around this way is quiet for the moment.

It was a heart felt movie that really did well in tackling the topic of early adult existentialism. The laughs were always prevalent. The crowd I saw it with, however, was more amused with the overt. I don't know why so many people lack a keen sense of humor. Judd Apatow and his cohorts have really produced some quality work the last couple years--40 year old virgin, Undeclared, Freaks and Geeks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apatow's movies are great in that they take a piece of real life and dress it up with humor--and we can all relate to that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seth Rogen is a pretty amusing character as well. I can't wait to see Superbad when it's released in August. Honestly, this has to be the summer of     Rogen; he should be top of line before summers end--and Paul Rudd is pretty sweet as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MTV MOVIE AWARDS: the parade of comedic mediocrity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Robin Williams in a Kilt&lt;br /&gt;*Funnyman Dane Cook being unfunny&lt;br /&gt;*Mike Myers milking his shitass Austin Powers persona for a few minutes&lt;br /&gt;--NOT A FUN EXPERIENCE TO BE HAD...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We will see what I can get done this week...I think I am going to go watch Undeclared on DVD...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Movie(s) of the Day:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;Heavyweights:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;I remember renting this movie from the Cub Foods video store back in 1994 or 1995. What attracted me to the film was the fact that it was directed by Steven Brill (MightyDucks). Concerning the Mighty Ducks, I must say that it has one of the most pleasing endings for any movie trilogy--ever. The way Bombay walks out of the arena as the Eden Hall Ducks banner is unveiled from the rafters is classic. Anyways, back to Heavyweights: Apatow and Brill wrote this movie for me back in the mid-90's--I was a fat and somewhat misunderstood pre-teen back in those days. Fast forward to 2007 and it seems like Knocked up was written for me--I am twentysomething character who has no direction in life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Venus&lt;br /&gt;Bought this from the Best Buy a couple weeks ago and have yet to finish it--watched about thirty minutes last week, but I became distracted with life. I like Peter O'Toole--Ruling Class fuckin rules--so I assume I will enjoy the rest of the movie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2784569891497635130-1567911913197082538?l=mctoever.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mctoever.blogspot.com/feeds/1567911913197082538/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2784569891497635130&amp;postID=1567911913197082538' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2784569891497635130/posts/default/1567911913197082538'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2784569891497635130/posts/default/1567911913197082538'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mctoever.blogspot.com/2007/06/060407.html' title='06//04//07//'/><author><name>Andrea T.

I guess I will do so today. I really have nothing to talk about--I am bored with sports, I have not seen a good movie for the longest time, and I am fucking tired as hell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess Joy Behar is fucking cunt. I do not know why, but I subjected myself to few minutes of the View today. In the ten minutes which I saw of today's show, Joy Behar spread a enough negativity to kill baby goon. If I was to tell Joy that J.F.K was the most racist president ever to be elected by the American Public, she would call me the fucking devil. She is so fucking ignorant; she really needs to read some history books.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am so tempted to say something about Rosie here, but I am not one to make fun of the mentally challenged.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People like Behar and Rosie make me want to vomit. Why are these liberal assholes on television? It is not even entertaining the watch them create conflict. If anything, I feel embarrassed for the both of them--ignorant cunts. The thing that pisses me off the most is the fact that the baby boomers think of themselves as the best generation ever--i.e.we stopped the fucking war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baby boomers, all you could contribute to the world were the crack babies and the shitty 80's sitcoms I had to suffer through.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2784569891497635130-7366765531232598556?l=mctoever.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mctoever.blogspot.com/feeds/7366765531232598556/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2784569891497635130&amp;postID=7366765531232598556' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2784569891497635130/posts/default/7366765531232598556'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2784569891497635130/posts/default/7366765531232598556'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mctoever.blogspot.com/2007/03/i-dont-know-about-babay-boomahs.html' title='I don&apos;t Know about BaBaY BoOMAHS'/><author><name>Andrea T.
