Happy Halloween

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Well everybody thanks for stopping by my blog for Halloween. Or as they say in Mexico "Los dia de los muertos" or "the day of the mentos." Or that's my guess, but all I know is they love their damn Mentos in Mexico, "Mentos, las fresh maker" Enough with the spanish lesson and on with the blog...


So out of no where, I remembered a movie I used to watch when I was little every Halloween called "The Halloween Tree"...does anyone else remember it? For the longest time I could only remember bits about this movie but never the title, it got to the point where I thought maybe I made this so-called movie up, until I remember the name out of nowhere. Classic halloween movie that used to really scare me when I was younger (not now of course, I'm quite tough---AHHH! Nevermind it was just my shadow.) Phew. Anyway, I looked up the movie on the Tubes of You and found that you can watch the entire movie (Here's Part 1) it is really well done.

If you haven't seen it I would recommened it. It's a cartoon that tells the story of a group of trick-or-treating children who learn about the origins and influences of Halloween when one of their friends is spirited away by mysterious forces (aka they are looking for their friend who is dead). It's based off a novel by the same name by, Ray Bradbury. Leonard Nimoy is the voice of the children's creepy (*level 3 possibly?) guide, Mr. Moundshroud. It first aired in 1993.

This is a long blog entry, but when your looking for something for years and finally find it you must write about it. Like, love. (Hmm..'children's halloween movie' and 'love', wow, great analogy Chris.) But really, it's worth a watch. I have the movie's audio playing in another window and it brings me back. I'm remembering it being good but it's weird, when something creeps you out when your little it stays with you kind of. Another great point of the movie is the artwork and musical score is also really well done.

Well, that's it! Have a fun and safe Halloween.....BOO!!!!!! - don't be scared I just wrote that not a ghost. - or was it??


(*I'm sure he wasn't a level 3 of course, also Los dia de los muertos isn't the same as Halloween)

The Windows 7 Whopper..Damn!

I don't know who Burger King has hired as an advertising company but god bless them. For the release of Windows 7 recently, BK has created a whole new burger - "The Windows 7 Whopper!" HOLY SH*T.

"DaWin7Whopp" (as no one calls it) is a burger made up of 7 patties and it sells for $7.77 (get it?!) When I first read about this I thought it was a photoshop joke but alas, it's real (BKJapan Site) I think everyone can agree that nothing quite says 'buy a new OS for your computer" than a huge burger. Just think about it. Imagine your on your way to buy Mac Snow Leopard but your hungry so you stop for some lunch. You goto your local BK (and by local I mean Japan) and you sit down and say "I am extremely hungry." You look at the cheese burger and think "1 patty? F that!" so then you look at double cheese burger and think, "still not enough, HOWEVER, if I could have 3 double cheese burgers on a single bun plus one more patty for good luck, that would do that trick!" Then a light shines upon "The Windows 7 Burger" and your wish has come true thanks to BK and Microsoft.

....then, after 3 grueling days in the bathroom you stand up, button your pants, and say proudly "I'm a PC."

--On a side note I think McDonald's and Apple are missing a golden oppurtunity to sell "The BigMac OSX" with 10 patties---

Let's Try This Again!

"Welcome back, your dreams were your ticket out.
Welcome back to that same old place that you laughed about.
Well the names have all changed since you hung around,
But those dreams have remained and they’re turned around."

I'm back! I'm sorry I haven't posted a blog in a long time but I have good reason.

The reason for not posting, honestly, is I have been in the North Pole for many months doing research without any internet connection. Now, you may think there was no internet because it's the North Pole and there are no service providers for internet out there, which would be a good guess. However the actual reason is Mrs. Claus caught Santa looking at tons of porn and shut the damn service off. But I am back now home now! I have missed a lot while I was away with no internet --- do you know we have a black president! which I think is great, but right when I was happy thinking everything was cool I find out -- Miley Cyrus deleted her twitter account. WTF. What happened America? Where are our priorities? Celebrities can just stop twittering now, if they want!? That's f'd up. How am I going to know when Miley is "baking cookies" or "hanging around the house"? Huh?! Answer me that America! If this doesn't change, I'm leaving this damn country! Maybe I'll goto Alaska or something.

Either that story is true or the real reason is I have been lazy - who knows.

But hopefully I will be posting pretty regularly again if people want to read.

Thank you for reading and coming back to IAMCHRISVENTURA!

Comments are always appreciated, that way I know who came back to read the blog lol. Thanks guys!
