Apologies!

I need to start updating this blog lately. Plain and simple! Ya'll back me?? Good!

M.I.A.

Wow...sorry people! I know I haven't been the most considerate blogger by posting everyday, but give me some credit! At least I didn't forget about you, so keep posted! I have been working dilligently on a podcast called the "Mike & Mannie Show" It will be a doozy!

**UPDATE**

Just read and article on Yahoo stating that Stephen Tyler will NOT be leaving Aerosmith...
Thank whomever that he is not leaving the band ^_^

MTV Cribs...

You know something, it amazes me how some people decorate houses these days. I'm not going to be spiteful because I do wish to own a luxurious house one day, but the amount of rooms in a house that superstars get is ridiculous!

Tonight I am watching MTV Cribs and Willis McGahee is exhibiting his house. The house has 6 rooms, 5 bath, a nice living room (or as he calls it, the "sitting room") lovely basketball court and outdoor pool, blah blah blah, etc. But he is the only one living in this house. So my mind begin to question this: why need all this and you are alone..... hmmmm

So then I begin to question (and I know the obvious answer) does money play a huge role in purchasing a home and what goes inside it, even though if you are a super star and you probably won't enjoy it all. We all want to make it big one day and yes purchase a huge home with a billion rooms, and twenty thousand bathrooms, a water fall shower, and a pond shaped jacuzzi for the backyard, and all the other things that the Almighty Lord would look puzzled.

Now say if I were to make it big, doing whatever that give me the riches of some superstar players or movie actors: do I need all this to show what I have? We all as a society want to show our status quo of what we achieve in life and what better way to show it off is not by purchasing expensive cars, but by the"exuberant of our domain". You want to have this, you want to have that, you want this wall to be knocked down, or you want this backyard to be expanded. But after is all said and done, are we satisfied?

If you are single male/female I can see a small house, 3 bedroom/2 bathroom max, to have and decorate to what you like with some of the extremities like a pool, basketball court. That way it shows a modest home, not by your riches, but what you achieved in life. Its hard to say if you are a family man because you want that extra space for your famliy and that pool, and full-court basketball in the backyard for the family to play on.

Like I said before, I understand that we want to expand our domain to exhibit the amount of riches we have; its in our blood because of the history of past kingdoms and kings showing their riches to the peasants. Take it from me, I wouldn't display much.

CSI Crossover episodes

If you are a couch potato like myself, you have to see the 3 tier episode of CSI that will expand throughout the week. It will start in CSI: Miami to CSI: NY and will end in CSI: Las Vegas. Hope you have your DVR set!

Stephen Tyler Quit Aerosmith?!?!?!

Wow this was a huge shock to me and those who are a fan of the band Aerosmith. Across the internet, Stephen Tyler has quit the band and now guitarist Joe Perry is currently looking for a replacement??? My thoughts on this is who in the hell can replace Stephen Tyler? Because I can't think of ANYBODY who can replace the front-runner of this band. I know there are plenty of aspiring artist who would LOVE to be the next S.T. but nobody can't replace him.. If you can think of someone, you let me know because this one don't thinks it possible..

The Big 3-0

Wow....30 Years.... Its kinda a big shock to me ya know? I can remember turning 21 and thinking "Yes I'm legal!!" But now its almost a revelation that I am turning a new page in my life. Do I feel 30? No...not at all! Hell you can ask a few of my friends and co-workers and they can tell you that I REALLY don't act my age... (Few people thought that I was at least 23 or 24 ^_^) But age is what you make it to be. Be who you are and as long you have good friends, age is really but a number!

Also, thank for all the birthday wishes!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Hey everybody, I wanted to wish everybody a happy and safe Halloween! Keep your kids safe and bundled up, especially if its freezing.... O_o

0-2? No problem!!

So the Cavs started 0-2, and there is buzz around that the Cavs look unimpressive, out of sync, and not a top contender? Honestly, I wouldn't count them out just yet...

I don't thinks it fair that we are counting Cleveland out right now, especially when this is the beginning of the season people! According to Stewart Scott, teams that started 0-2 have only had about a.500 winning pct. I don't think this is the case this year. The Cavs are still trying to adjust with the combo of Shaq and Lebron, and trying to find themselves. This is a perfect, well balanced team. Look at the roster; Shaq, Lebron, DeLonte West, Varejao, this team is still looking great! I still think the Cavs will have a great season this year, but I wouldn't count them out because of their slow start.

DJ Hero out in stores

From the makers of Guitar Hero series, they bring you DJ Hero, a new series focused on DJaying ( is that a real word?) Well anyways, the series mostly focused on mixing the turntables using rhythm smashing methods like Guitar Hero, except you use the turntable instead of the strum on the guitar. If you love hip-hop music, and those wannabe djays, then this is the game to get..

The Box......

You are confronted by a man with a disfigured face, he will give you $1,000,000 Dollars, the only thing you have to do is push this button. But someone in the world has to die. I know this movie is going to be great and its a must-see in my list. But I have one teeny tiny question: if it was me, could I just pick the person? I mean really if it someone that has to die, I rather pick the person! Don't look at me like that because you are thinking the same thing as well! I KNOW there is one person you would like to pic....you are probably thinking about that person now...

Blog Layout Change.

Tomorrow I will be changing the layout of the website...something is not set in stone for me...But keep a look out!

Romantic or Realist? Vote or Die ^_^... j/k

School is winding down for me and actually I am so happy. It's tough out there for those who work for a living and go to school... Well today the Yankees lost... But its only one game right? Am I right?

Well today topic is based on the pole that is on this blog. Are you a realist or a romantic? When you see a tree, can you describe the leaves, the waving of the branches during a windy day or you just see a tree? The reason why I choose to host this pole is because it can have some effect on a person. If you are a romantic, you have not problem expressing your feelings towards another person. For those who are realist..... well it is what it is? But here is the question along with that; how becoming a realist or a romantic effect your relationship with your love one? I would like to hear from those by email: esutton30@gmail.com and leave me some feedback...

Those 5 Things....

Ok people here we go!  The top five things on Mannie Mind..

1.)  Customers and rainy days don't mix.  I'm thinking it must bring the stupidity of some...

2.) Gotta buy Kingdom Hearts for the Nintendo DS... Fun game...

3.) Christmas is fast approaching!  Has anybody done their christmas shopping??  I sure haven't...lol

4.) My 30th Birthday is approaching as well!  Can't wait until I turn the big 3-0! 

5.)Why was the top tweet for this week was "RIP Kanye"  We all know Mr. West can be, ahem, a bit loud, but I think we should let the man relax and get his thing together.  Let him be and let him make his music!

And thanks to those who take their time to read this blog!   See ya tomorrow!

Adult Swim

Just got done watching an episode of Venture Bros. Man what did I miss in the last season? But it was funny and has a lot of promise to this season. I always was a fan of the Venture Bros. show since it came out a few years ago, so I have a lot of catching up to do because I missed last season, due to the "lame season" of Heroes. But whenever the Boondocks release their third season, I will be there with my DVR set!

New Mario in case you didn't know....

For all the game nerds (like myself) who is waiting for something to play, keep your dates booked for Nov. 15th for the New Super Mario Bros. Wii. The game features a new 4-co-op play mode ( Four people can play at the same time, which means you can get schooled by your mother or little sis...) tons of levels, and the return of the Koopalings which has been absent since Super Mario World. As always, I will be getting this game as soon as it is released.

Mark Benevento Jr., 12, outdrives Tiger!! WOW

Well, I wouldn't call this a monumental event, but yet I wouldn't say that this is the end of Tiger's career. After Tiger botched a couple of shots, this kid stepped up to the green, and boy did he deliver! Check out the video! And was very modest and congratulated him! At least the situation didn't turn out like the last time fiasco in other worlds of sports...

Those 5 Things....

Ok.. Here is the 5 Things about this week. I will be doing this every Saturday to liven things up!

So here we go!!

1.) Some people can ask so stupid when they don't get their way... Shopping during this week in the retail area is funny. When something is out of stock, people take it as an insult and come back with; "Why isn't it in stock? You had it advertised!" Its a sale people! When something is on sale, please don't wait until Friday to get what you THOUGHT would be there...

2.) Some people don't celebrate Sweetest Day! They feel that its just a made up holiday from retail stores... So those guys/girls that are at odds about this day, come to a compromise...

3.) Leave David Letterman alone! He is human!

4.) If your child is going to fly, make sure they are fasten and give them a parachute... ^_^
(just kidding......) But seriously, watch your children...

5.) Speaking of children & balloons, remember that short movie "The Red Balloon"? What the hell was that movie about? I remember watching that movie back in kindergarden and still wondering why this kid was wandering around France for this red balloon. One of those childhood memories. ^_^

Hoax or Real? Hmmm.....

As we have heard, there is a lot of suspicion with the Colorado family who little boy, ahem, Falcon who flew away in their makeshift aircraft. Now the news and media are speculating that this was a HUGE ploy to get another reality show, although they were on WIFE SWAP twice. Isn't this the modern American way? We all want our 1 minute of fame on national TV, to be in the spotlight to shine, or in other words, look like a total fool. Honestly we don't know all the facts until they are presented to us with everything check and re-checked. Hey I would have flown the coup if I had a name like "Falcon" myself. ^_^

Rejoice! Windows 7......

For those who have suffered so much with Windows Vista, rejoice. Windows 7 is coming soon and not a moment to soon.... With the compatibility to boot certain programs into XP Mode, it makes Win 7 the OS system to get for you PC Freaks.. Me? I'll get it and be able to boot it up using Bootcamp on my MacBook ^_^.

Look up in the sky! Its a bird, its a plane, its....oh never mind!

Yesterday was a huge event when authorities in Colorado believed that a 6 year-old child floated away in a makeshift aircraft across 50 miles!!! The boy was found safe in the attic of his parents house, hiding in a box.....because he felt his father was going to yell at him.... O_o.

We all know that things happen for a reason and today was that reason....try to watch your kids! I know how my nephews are and they are curious kids.... very curious.... If something interest them, they will investigate it immediately..... But thank goodness that he was safe, because it could have been worse....
