Adventures in DoomzLand

Hope everyone's been well! Today seems to have zipped right by - Daylight Savings Time + hanging out with friends after church + a strong feeling of lethargy = Sunday basically having slipped between my fingers :)

What's been up over on this side of the screen? A few things...

Help Form the New doomsdayblaze.com

After several years of relative obscurity and just working away at life, I'm pretty much ready again to make a go at running my own website and providing content for the masses on a regular basis. There's a lot of ideas I've had milling around in my head, and it's definitely time that I start getting them out to friends, family and the new people I could be introducing to my special brand of entertainment on a daily basis :) With that said, I'm hitting a bit of a block and would really appreciate some help - I'm trying to figure out what text I can put on the first page to reintroduce myself, and nothing meaningful enough has come to mind.

Then, an idea hit me - what if I did an interview? My blog readers could be the interviewers, and I'd be the interviewee! It'd be great! So are you all up to the task? Can you help ask me questions that I can answer and post up so that there's some content to start with? It will all be anonymous on the site and the entire thing will likely be moved over to the "About" page as an FAQ, but I'd like to have something good to start with :) You even have the option to ask anonymously, so feel free to ask even the craziest of questions. Please note that I will remove anything that I think is too offensive, insane, whatever.

Here're the links to ask me questions, and I hope you'll help! Thanks in advance!

Foursquare

How fun is this? Foursquare's been dominating my life as of late, with the ability to run around town, keep track of what I've been up to and check out recommendations from other people - Foursquare is all sorts of awesome! Also, it's all sorts of stalkerish, but obviously, one should always be choosy with how much information they're putting out there to the world. Back to my point, though - Foursquare's a pretty cool idea. Harkening back to the idea that word of mouth is the best form of advertisement, I think there are a few things that make it stand apart from numerous other ways you could go about spreading the word about a tool:

• An ever-growing list of places that offer deals for people who use Foursquare on a regular basis: http://foursquare.com/businesses/
• The fact that you go around collecting points and badges for your efforts: http://foursquare.com/learn_more
• The fact that it connects to Facebook and Twitter, probably annoying the heck out of my friends and family - especially if they don't really care about wherever in the world I am at any specific point...

Feel free to befriend, especially if you're in the Toronto area - some weekends no plans are made, and meeting up at a good resto to have random adventures is always cool in my books: http://foursquare.com/user/doomsdayblaze

WTFUQUA?!

Went to see Brooklyn's Finest with my boy RamDeezy. Richard Gere, Ethan Hawke, Don Cheadle, Wesley Snipes. Four actors who've done their own considerably epic films in their history - but this? This was a train wreck. I love a good cop/crime drama. I don't know what it is, but I think that it's the stories of characters who are so unlike me, from another area of life - they really draw me in.

This movie did not.

Between unbelievable scenes that were utterly ridiculous, cruddy acting from supporting characters and dialogue that I could've written in my sleep, there's only one thing I can say.

Dear director Antoine Fuqua - WTFUQUA did you just make me watch?!

The only good part is that Ram and I got free passes out of the entire ordeal, due to the fact that the first time we went, we'd only made it through the previews due to the popcorn machine in the concession area going on fire, but hey, whatever.

So in conclusion, yes yes y'all, I'm still alive. More coming soon!

Thanks for the support/help/assistance/read,
