Limited Pre-Screeing of New Moon


My dawn brightened when I was allowed to view a very limited and elite pre-screening of New Moon, the delightful sequel to the Vampire romance series titled Twilight.

For the reader that is not familiar with these excellent reads, let me debrief you. Its about muggles that fall for Vampires. But its a girl-muggle and the book follows her every thought and desire. And get this, its all about how the perfect guy falls in love with the beautifully- innocent Bella Swan (which creatively translates into "beautiful swan")

Written by a woman, the heartthrob Vampire boy, Edward Cullen, is dangerously handsome, he loves Bella -- not only by sight but also by smell -- oh, and it also just happens that sunlight turns him into cute sparkly diamonds. And their first kiss begins with "k".



















The book has everything anyone could want and New Moon, the movie, takes this lovers tangle to another level. Add in the sweetness of a Werewolf and the tangle becomes a triangle. Who does she choose, could it be Edwards 4 C's of love or Jacobs ticklishly warm embrace?

She picks Jacob!

There was a moment in the movie where she is braiding his Werehair, a french braid, and they start rolling in the fields, then the screen goes black and the audience gasps. She has chosen her mate. Now, remember that Edward already left Spanish Fork to a far away place, a place where his family would not be tempted to eat Bella's blood. So get this, word spreads that Bella and Jacob the Werewolf hooked up and nobody wanted Edward to know so they told him she committed suicide!

Since Edward thinks Bella is dead, he too has no desire to live. Unlike Shakespeare's Juliet he is unable to lick the poison from her lips or stab himself in the heart, instead he must travel to Italy where the liberal Vampires are pro-euthenasia and agree to kill him.

Bella finds out that when she rides her scooter really fast that she can hear Edward, his sweet lavender voice speaks to her and she goes after him, leaving Jacob for Italy. It is there that the Italian Vampire Illuminati declare that she must die or become a Vampire. She chooses Vampire. . . but wait!

!SPOILER ALERT!
The movie ends with Bella back in Spanish Fork, she is in the clinic getting an ultra sound and she is pregnant with Jacobs Werebaby!

What will happen when she becomes a Vampire and the hybrid baby is born?

Could this be a uniting of the Tribes? I guess we won't know until the release of Forever Dawn.

Hairy Potter and The Half Blood Prince vs. Planetary Astrology


I am on a kick about the starry heavens above and the romantic within. Last post addressed the incredible balance of love and neo-science. This post will focus on Wizards and Planets.


The new movie of Hairy Potter will come out within one month. My goal is to prep my readers on the astrology of wizardry. Wherewolves, Serious Black, Horocruxes and more!!

We are coming up on the Dog Days of Summer (beginning July 3); be prepared.

The astrological parallels and connections relating to HP will metaphysically blow your mind. In a segmented series I will uncover and show pictures about these hidden secrets.

Here is the first clue:

The Perfect Storm

Time Travel Romance. It is what I have been waiting for, an un-timeless romance.

I say 'un-timeless' because most romances are always bound by some sort of time. Too often romance movies end sad, leaving tears and empty hearts. Like the Notebook when Noah and his wife are ugly and old so they decide to kill themselves together. Or like A Walk To Remember when Jamie decides to die and leave everybody.

Finally an author decided to incorporate time-travel and allow a love story to go on forever. Like a silk rose.

The name of the movie is The Time Traveler's Wife, it comes out soon. http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi2784428569/

This genre was attempted once by Superman and Dr. Quinn in the movie Somewhere In Time. Only in this movie a really old women, I'm talking like 103 years old, creaks up to Superman and tells him to come back to her. I don't know why he would but he did. She was hotter younger, so he chose wisely, but she left him for the wild west and he made the typical blunder of keeping pennies from the future. Spoiler alert. So the future penny took him away from the young Jane Seymor and into the osteoperotic arms of her future self. Thereby leaving all of us upset and sad.

The Time Travelers Wife: Henry travels through time, he does not wish for it and cannot control it. Big events from his life pull him back in, like gravity. His wife, whose husband is never there, spends her whole life waiting. So what if henry doesn't want her to spend her whole life waiting?? What if he decided to go back one last time and make it so that they have never met?? And what if she will always love him, and what if they are just wild hearts that are never meant to be broken?? We'll have to watch and see. Don't be surprised if one of them dies.

Exotic Animals for the Home: Part I

Serval

Jogger's quick answer (the basic question of "what is that?" when you take your exotic animal on a nightly walk): "It's a mini-leopard, from Africa"


























Daily meal: Live birds. If not available, hide raw turkey in the house, during nightime, when they hunt.

If It's Secret and Elite It Can't Be Good

Is it still hot to be a Skull-And-Bones?

















What, you have never heard of Yale's most secret and most powerful society?

If not, I am guessing that you have heard of these:
George W. Bush,
John Chafee,
Henry Luce,
Gritton hadden,
John Kerry,
George H.W. Bush,
William F. Buckley,
Willaim Taft etc. etc.

Our presidency, supreme court and senate seats are all heated by men of the order. All of whom have been tapped and reborn as a skull and bones.

Often accused of conspiracy, the "bonesman" as they like to be called, work together to initiate and promote the success of the society.

Due to the macabre, inspiration, and conspiracy that it takes to be a bonesman, I hereby rank The Skull and Bones as 2009's most overrated secret society.

The Best Runner-Up Ever









I WILL ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE!!

A true vocalist is one that is able to produce musical sound by only using his/her voice. I do both.

Song is judged by:

  1. Audience reaction
  2. Vocals
  3. Karaoke Ability (reading and staying on pace with lyrics)
  4. Entertainment
  5. Overall Ability

Terms of the contest:

  • Top five singers on the 5,000 passenger cruiseliner
  • Must sing entire song
  • Song choice must be different than previous round
  • No backup singers

Song Choice: Livin' On A Pryaer by Jon Bon Jovi

Reason for song: Based on a midnight society focus group this song was hand selected to fit my style and voice range.

video

Favorite moments:

  • Wardrobe (pants were hand stitched by Allision and Spencer Davis) -- They were perfectly restitched. Backstage the top stitch came out and I had to take a dancers bobbypin and twist it through to sinch it together. I was worried I wouldn't be strong enought to pull it out.
  • The moment I roundhouse kicked the audience from the stage
  • The summersault after the roundhouse kick
  • Forgetting the lyrics altogether
  • Singing the same line 12 times

Performance Goals:

  1. My overall strategy was to rewrite the lyrics to be a love ballad between Me and Judge Monica.
  2. Leg as a guitar during rockout scene
  3. Pull off pants
  4. Jumpkick, roll into summersault
  5. Step on edge
  6. Extend hand towards audience
  7. Powerslide
  8. Splits
  9. (open for on stage inspiration)

New Lyrics Actual Lyrics
Judd has a really hard life Tommy used to work on the docks
He works so hard Union been on strike
He’s looking for a wife, its tough He’s down on his luck, its tough

So Tough So Tough

Monica is looking for a man Gina works the diner on 8th
I sing so good Workin for the man
Take me home to mom and dad, its love She brings home her pay, its love

For Love For Love

CHORUS

So take my hand, we’ll make it I swear

Whooo HOO We’re livin on a prayer

Judges Response:

Final Results: I took second place and lost by one point to an Idahoan Country singer. Who, I might add, never even attempted a powerslide or the splits.

Cruise Idol: Part 1 of 2

Cruise Idol
  • Three rounds of intense competition
  • 3,000 possible cruisers to compete for title
  • 10 best selected to move on to the second round

Song choice: "I Want It That Way" by the Backstreet Boys

ROUND ONE:

Dedication: I was privileged enough to be able to switch my dedication which was originally directed to my future wife who wasn't able to be on the cruise with me. DJ Matt messed up my song number, actually it was my manager Christopher who did not proofread what I wrote. At any rate the wrong BSB song came up and I refused to sing it.

Rededication: To each and every person there that night. I think they felt special to know that I cancelled the dedication to my wife for them.

I was honored by DJ Matt's immediate placement into the second round of Cruise Idol.

ROUND TWO:

  • Audience number: 1100
  • Participants: 10
  • Song: Each contestant was asked to sing the same song that was sang in round 1, except for one girl who sang a terrible first song and chose Ave Maria for her second, which she sang worse than me. Not really, I sang better.
  • Outfit: Brown Leisure Suit, Captain America T-shirt*

*I was given the nickname of "Captain America" because I wore a Captain America shirt the first round of competition and from then on out I was referred to by everyone as "Captain America"

There was even a little girl in an elevator who leaned over to her parents and said "its him . . ." and the mom said "who?" and the little girl said "its Captain America" and the mom smiled and said to me "she really liked your singing". I went on to dedicate my song in Round Two to that little girl.

THE PERFORMANCE:


Key Moments of the Performance:

  • Imaginary cord toss into the crowd
  • Elbow crawl towards audience transitioned into a side roll
  • Running off stage to personalize the song in front of the crowd (which increased cheering)
  • Forgetting my line and effortlessly jumping back on stage

Judges Question and Answer:



Question: How did bring such a tight creaseless leisure suit?

Answer: My mom does my laundry and packed it for me.

Judd overview: My favorite part was the fact that people actually cheered and that the random group of 14 year old girls really took a liking to me**.

The arm crawl was a crafted move that Christopher and I practiced in our stater room.

Another great part of it all was that I got free drinks the rest of the cruise, I had a dressing room before and after the show, and DJ Matt gave me shout outs whenever I went to the Moonlight Dance Floor.

*Here I am taking a moment to pose with two of my fans



The Q&A was basically just a judges response, but the crowd was behind me and left no doubt in their minds as to the value of my music and performance. I also think Monica and I shared a moment, but that storyline will more fully develop in the next performance.

SPOILER ALERT: I make it into the next and Final round of Cruise Idol. Stay tuned.
