“The Wanted” AWESOME!!!

I don’t think I’ve watched a documentary this good in a long time.

You’ve got 4 ex-militaries turned journalists traveling around the world in search of some really heavy hitters on the Most Wanted lists all over the globe.

From the sentence above you’d think we’re talking about a glamorous anti-terrorist unit like 24 with scenarios that only border on plausible…not even close.

It’s the real deal. In the first episode these guys have earned the worth of the whole series, enabling the extradition of a very well-known terrorist thats on the most wanted lists all of the globe, but was getting asylum from Norway under a legal loophole.

In the episode itself the Norwegian authorities state clearly that the news team frmo America was able to do what the Ministry of Migration has dragged its feet on for OVER 6 YEARS.

Cheers guys…this series is a keeper so long as they don’t glam it up. Since these guys arent actors I am pretty sure sooner or later we’re going to get to see someone let loose. One of the guys during the interview was having the hardest time sitting down while having to listen to Krakar…can’t say I blame him.

Totally recommending this show. NBC on Monday nights πŸ™‚

SyFy? Heh…FAIL.

I thought I was hallucinating…no…seriously. They must think that marketing for kids under the age of 5 (those kids under 5 that can’t spell SciFi, most actually can πŸ˜‰ will help.

…I am watching the premiere of Wharehouse 13…and instead of SciFi…i.e. Science Fiction…

..we get…
**SyFY**
I thought this was a joke…you know…to make fun of people that cant figure out what SciFi is….and it’s REAL. They changed the name.

I am linking up all the articles on this…it’s hilarious…no one likes it.

Friend – back up so soon?
Tony – writing a bit then headed to werk, i figure if scifi can call it SyFy, I can do whatever the hell I want when I spell a word too
Friend – i see… interesting theory, i will let yew get back to wryting

Look, the bottom line is I feel like a frickin 3 year old watching Nickelodeon now….and I don’t do Nick. If this was only so that SciFi could have a trademarked name…they are complete idiots.

Silly network execs….someone needs to hit them with a very special clue bat.




Huge Bummer…

So I mentioned earlier that my first drum teacher used to jamm with the Glenn Miller Band. At the time I thought it was the lamest thing..ever, but as the years and the experience came on I found out that wasnt such a lame thing..at all πŸ˜‰

So I decided to look him up…and I totally found something I didnt want to…

his tribute page. He passed away in 2004. On there he was quoted…

“I never worked a day in my life. I went from one party to the next and we were the entertainment.”

He actually told me this in one of my first lessons πŸ˜‰

Cheers old man, I may not have been a great drummer, but you taught me how to love the music πŸ˜‰
