My thoughts as of late.

Somewhere in my thirty some odd years upon this planet earth I became afraid.

I can’t pinpoint exactly where that happened, but I know it did. Growing up my friends and I would engage in feats of lunacy, that to this day when described to others gets a eye roll of disbelief.

As a toddler it was as simple as making bows and arrows, shooting them at friends, escalating to jumping our lined up friends with our BMX bikes, to molotov cocktails, trying to cow tip with a car, rappelling of the stadium in college and an assortment other things.

Then I moved to L.A.. I don’t know if it was the climate, the sheer alieness of being who I was in a town that was completely NOT who I am. Rejection, rejection and more rejection. I don’t know. But I started being afraid.

I remember watching the Cosby Show fairly religiously. I think my generation (X if you must know) was probably one of the first ones that had no idea there was a difference between races until some idiot tried to tell us there was. To this day it boggles my mind that people take a pigment of skin and say that makes one person better or less than, than say another person..but I digress (judge by the content of character people) - The Cosby show was the family that everyone wanted to be a part of. I did at least (I still love my family, but Rudy is just so darn funny!).

I was putting together a little video for my wife last night and I came upon “Theo’s Holiday” . I had forgotton how flippin hilarious it is.

Remember this episode? Theo thinks he has it all figured out when it comes to finances until his family puts him to the test. Check out part one, if you get hooked like I was, part 2 and 3 are on youtube.

So I’ve been noticing an uptick in a lot of Geek inspired music lately, whether it’s TROCK (time lord rock) or Wrock (wizard rock) all seemingly under the umbrella of Nerdcore (at least I think it is, and what “I” think is generally considered law in these parts.)
This stuff CALLS to me.  Maybe I’ll try my inept musical hand at something like this, but probably not.

Meanwhile below are my top 5 Nerdcore/trock/wrock songs.

Actually I found myself goofily grinning the entire time. It was loud, lots of action and it was great to see some of my old heroes (yes including the live action fist of north star star Gary Daniels) shooting, kicking and slashing through everything on screen.

Ontop of that. I REALLY want to see a sequel. I know that now that it was #1 at the box office that is moving closer to a reality. Which means, potentially Van Damme, more Arnie, more Bruce etc.
Don’t go see this movie if you are expecting sculpted dialogue, incredible plot twists, or anything resembling good acting. Go see it if you liked playing with your G.I. Joe’s in the mud, dressing up like rambo at halloween, or appreciate men that don’t look like women hitting each other.
