After nearly 2 years of searching on and off I have finally grabbed myself a copy of David Cronenberg's first film. Shivers AKA They Came From Within.
This ultra low budget horror flick from 1975 isn't a masterpiece but it shows the origins of a master's craft. The plot is that the residents of a suburban high-rise apartment building become infected by a strain of parasites that turn them into mindless, sex-crazed zombies. Think of almost as Night Of The Living Dead but instead of eating each other they having bloody orgies and sexually assaulting there prey. A neat little horror flick but if sexual taboos and graphic violence aren't your taste then I wouldn't bother.
I love David Cronenberg's films, the man is brilliant and shocking. His ideals on science, human nature, sexuality, disease and body transformation are top notch and he holds no punches, in fact have ever wonder where my name came from?

Updates on my crush, we talked for nearly 3 hours last Friday and we got to know each other a bit more. She's not interested in dating anyone at the moment and its because her last boyfriend I guess was Mr. wrong just a piece of shit. I think she's just very concerned and doesn't want to lower her guard to anybody which I understand. I have her phone number, we've texted/talked a bit but she's not big on it, Im just getting mixed signals from her, I really like her but obviously if she's not into me...I don't know how to proceed.
The best things in life are usually the hardest to reach. Keep ya posted.

Friend of a friend just got engaged to his wife, now Im very happy for them but I've heard a few digital whispers on facebook (do people not realize facebook is a public domain) that people are not cool with the age difference.
She is 24 and he's 37 or 38 I think, I realize it's about 15 years difference but they seem to match, shit I once had a neighbor in an apartment he was 50 and his girlfriend was 33. Cool people, I miss them.
It's not really my place but I almost feel I should tell these people to chill, but then again if I open my mouth its releasing the drama flood gates and I'm in the sea of bullshit trying to find common sense land.
So right now Im not saying anything. Lips sealed, yup that's right ladies my sexy full tasty lips.
I had written a very long and interesting take on my belief's on religion and faith and where I stand on poltics but then I realize nobody cares about that shit so heres pictures of Bo.
2010 is almost over, it's time to leave behind all the pain and stress of it. 2011 is another year, another day.
