Greetings and salutations Dogma,
1:30... 1:30 in the morning... This seems like a suitable time to write. It was either that or play with my majestic and undeniably picturesque cat, Rawrshack! ...I choose to do both. I have just told Rawrshack, in vivid detail, of my affairs tonight (and in no way is that depressing) I enlightened him with the knowledge of quite possibly the most interesting dog, his name is Champ.
Champ is the dog in the photograph... a friend of a friend's dog. She once called him the energizer bunny... she wasn't joking. Picture your dog on four loko, it's wild, crazy, hilarious but it doesn't hook up with your girlfriend and continue to leave your bed untidy. The point is this dog was a rather big deal for this very brief period of my existence. He was lovable, playful, extremely humorous, yet I wasn't quite sold. His rugged hair (as opposed to fur) and shaggy appearance gave off a "Homeward Bound" type-feel. The most intriguing aspect yet is the origins of the dog. Champ is a rescue puppy...he is one year old. A regular tear jerker is always a selling point. With the fitting image, the name also is somehow seemingly perfect. Champ seems to be high on life and after several continuous hours of chasing him around the yard, Champ still has enough ardor and vigor to run around the yard again when his owner's father returns home. (All of these event take place past mid-night mind you.) 
Which beckons the question is there a cooler pet? I believe my new cat Rawrshack may be able to silence the critics. Rawrshack is the cat in the photograph, he is just under a year old. Rawrshack also bares an interesting history, in which he was born into a cage at the local pound with several brothers and sisters that were taken home immediately by cat lovers, cat enthusiasts, cat fanatics, or just regular everyday people. With Rawrshack being in a cage for the earlier time of his life, undeniably juggled something in his brain. He runs and scrambles around my residency like he is at a Barnum Bailey circus hyped up on cocaine and mescaline. He is by no stretch of the imagination a "picky eater." Having seen him consume noodles, french fries, popcorn, and cheeseburgers I have made the conscious decision to implement a "raw foods diet" for him. (Yes Dogma, that is the diet that is one stricter then a vegan regimen) So I ask for you opinion Dogma. Which pet intrigues you immensely more then the other? I have provided a voting poll to the side of the blog asking for your honest thoughts and views. Now I am not trying to demean the loser and this is not a call for floccinaucinihilipilification (and yes that is a real word) I am just simply inquiring as to your honest opinion, nothing more. You do not have to vote if you choose not to, you will not hurt my feelings.
Them Crooked Social Networks...
THE SOCIAL NETWORK: I felt it was only appropriate to review The Social Network especially considering its' considerable track record of 8 Oscar nominations, 51 won nominations, and 53 other nominations. The Social Network grossed nearly 100,000,000 dollars in box office revenue and was largely considered the number 1 film in America at the time. I must admit I was rather skeptical at first, about a film revolving around the immature concept of social networking and its' large scale effect on modern culture. I anticipated a continuous downward spiral in revenue shortly after opening weekend, I was obviously ignorant to the complexity of this film. The score and screenplay for the film was absolutely breath-taking. With the combination of the ingenious script and integrate sequence of events, the film was both revealing and extremely compelling. Nothing to impressive in the cinematographic field, and still the shots felt perfect in many instances with a simple yet concise lay out and progression. Many of the actors in the film are unpopular or unknown entirely. With a fresh cast plaguing the film the acting is surprisingly exquisite and exceedingly talented. The young and believable cast make for a more immersive movie experience. With knowledge of facebook and how it has effected mass media and social interaction as we know it, The Social Network is a must see eye opener. If you are too, are a skeptic, like I once was. Denounce your doubts and give this film a try. The Guys Rating: 9 out of 10.
THEM CROOKED VULTURES: Quite possibly the greatest jam-band-super-group ever formed. A bold statement but one that I am willing to back up. Them Crooked Vultures formed in Los Angeles in 2009. Consisting of Dave Ghrol on drums (Foo Fighter front-man) Jon Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin Bassist) and Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone age front-man.) The group originally kept the band a secret project, playing underground venues and shows with little to no publicity before publicly announcing a world tour starting Oct. 1st 2009 called Deserve the Future. The bands self titled album is one of epic proportions. With beautiful flow and talented musicians behind the instruments the sound that is produced is both complex and dance worthy at the same time. With the music being delivered by pure passion and appreciation for music itself, Them Crooked Vultures care little for money and public opinion creating a natural flow of jam-band rock-n-roll. The beat induces one to feel the music like my middle school teacher felt me up after class one day when I preformed poorly on a test. The bottom line is Them Crooked Vultures is at the top of the heep in terms of the modern music scene especially for a more mature music taste. Their self debut album delivered everything a music addict could wish for and more. The album is extremely consistent, and won a Grammy for the group for their hit "New Fang" the third track of the album, which displays the quality and worth of the album as a whole. The Guys rating: 8.8 out of 10
So until next time Dogma...
Sincerely, That Guy
