Welcome To The Suck

I am embarking on a new journey. The journey into blogs. Sad isn't it. I am a web designer and have created blogs for clients but never for myself. I know that everyone has been asking, "Why doesn't Bob have a blog yet?" I think the number one answer is definitely Laziness. Or it might be my consistent backlash against all that is "In". Either way, it is here now and I thought I would start with a couple of things that have been in my mind of late:

1. Please can we stop with the recent resurgence of Zombie movies. I have noticed a disturbing influx of both commercial and indie films dealing with those of the half / full dead persuasion. Now I, like most people, are always looking for another reason to drop $10 on an hour and half of lifeless brain eaters but why would I do that if I could just turn on American Idol to get the same effect. As a disclaimer I must note that on April 6th I will be going to see Grindhouse which includes Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror but after that film there should be a six year moratorium on Zombie films. Sorry 28 Weeks Later, you will have to stop post-production and let your film's stars stumble around Development Hell for at least six years.

2. I understand that every once and awhile a slow newsday befalls the networks but could we please bump "Death From Above: Severe Weather Alert 2007" below other minor news stories like Darfur, the War in Iraq, and the auctioning off of Anna Nicole Smith's foot fungus creme. I must say that I am even more riveted by Sharon Storries fifth reporting on just how large the puddle filling the ditch just off of the Interstate is getting. I say lets save that Beta tape for the yearly "No Escape: Ice Storm 2008". Idiots braving sheets of ice only to turn their automobile into a low-fi centrifuge... Now that's television!!

3. Just in case the person who felt it was necessary to drop a fifty-pound rusted-out automotive tool in my driveway is reading this...why? I have no use for what looks like a contraption that could be used to hoist an engine out of car. Maybe it is a prop used in one of the Saw movies. Either way... you may come and pick it up at any time. In fact if you aren't the guy who dropped it off - you are welcome to it anyway!

I also want to start an "Ask Bob" section of this blog. If you have any questions on any subject that need answering send them to me. I am a fountain of knowledge and I promise to use my wisdom wisely. Yes... I said wisdom wisely! High Five! Much love.
