I shouldn't have done it, the commercials for prison break seemed cool. I wasn't going to do it, im not usually home at 8 o clock to watch TV. I am usually out, or not aroudn a TV or watching a movie on tbs or i am at the derby watching stripping.

I enjoy TV shows like the shield, rescue me, 24 and pretyt much anythiing on HBO. I only religiously watch shows on HBO. I really enjoy 24, but i wait to watch the whole show in one go. I did this with Lost also, i waited till i could get the whole show, then watched it one weekend.

I accidentaly watched prison break, and shit i enjoyed it. I love the idea of the show where a guy gets put into jail, just so he can break his brother out of jail. Im just going to say when i was convinced. When he takes off his shirt and shows the tatoo/map all over his body. I was sold.

But i am going to forget about the show and not watch it on the tv. I dispise commercials so much that i will never watch it again.

With the release of Transporter 2 soon, it makes me think of the death of martial artists in movies these days. Just about anybody can become a kung foo fighter in movies. Jason Statham nor was Matt Damon the first to ever pretend to be action stars. Is it cheper to just hire some actor and make them into an action star? They just come out of the bat knowing how to do kung foo or whatever. A lot of work goes into the filming and pre-production for these movies. I do not doubt this. I just don't know whos idea it was to make them do martial arts as there fighting technique. They look like robots doing it, There not smooth like a Jackie Chan or a Jett Lee. They look like white people trying to do it and they just learned how to do it five seconds ago. I like the movie tranporter and i will probably likie transporter 2, but it just ain't the same.

So friendster has added a new feature, the ability to upload 25 pictures! I don’t know how friendster is ever going to recover against myspace. Especially since myspace has been bought by FOX. The only way that i can think of a way for friendster to recover, is for google to buy friendster. This is very unlikely, since google already has orkut.

I am going to be in vegas for a week and so far i would like to say that the bellagio and ceasers are the most well designed casinos. Every other casinos design doesn't seem that well laid out. Ceasers makes you walk a certain way, you have to walk past the slot machines to get to the forums to get to the street. If you come in from the forums, you have to walk past the slot machines to get out.

The belagio is just nice in all the ways that it can be. The entrance is so far from walking distance that most people will take the moving walkways to get back to the street. So you have to walk through the forums, the garden, the crazy glass cieling and then to the moving walkway. YOu get tricked into forgetting that you are in a casino, and they have you.

Shops in a casino used to be a novelty, but now your casino isn't going to get as much traffic without having shops. But you have to have good shops to do this. The aladdin casino has some of the worst shops and there forum is designed to trick you. You can go into there "mall" without seeing a slot machine, but they have tricky signs everywhere trying to fool you.

The wynn casino has some of the best shops around, They only have high quality shops, like manohla blonick or whatever. I think this is because rght across the street is a real mall that has macy's, bloomingdales and neiman marcus. But the shops that they have at wynn are quite good. This casino goes the way of not trying to trick you in anyway and it is very appealing.

Another trick that i hate that only one casino used was the moving walkway into the casino, but not out the casino. The exaliber did this and there walkway out is really long. I remember that ceasers used to do this also, and i am glad that they don't do it anymore. I don't like the excaliber anyways, it reminds me to much of circus circus.

There is an article in wired magazine about Mark "Cobra Snake" Hunter himself. Check it out, its worth a read.
