So it seems like the world is heading towards apocalypse,I'm pretty sure the four horsemen mentioned in the bible are here ( war, famine, pestilence and Justin Bieber) and in these gloomy end of days times it's sometimes difficult to feel happy anymore, but why should you in these days where you realize that a completely thick, plastic slag (Jordan) has earned more money then you ever will. My way of keeping happy is to make lists of things that make me happy ( I don't). I've decided once a month to blog a list of that make me happy right now, it could be new tech, new tech, a t.v. show, movie or even a song, maybe even a quote from a friend if it's good. So here it is the things that I like list for March 2011....
Due South (T.V. Show)
So what do you get when you take a Canadian Mountie, team him up with an Italian-American cop and put them on the streets of Chi(cago) town? The answer is Due South, potentially the most epic daytime cop show ever. Benton Fraser (Paul Gross) is a fantastic character, he is smart, polite and charming the complete opposite of his partner Ray Vecchio (David Marciano), the chemistry between the two is just awesome. If you haven't seen it you need to. For me it brings a sense of nostalgia, for others it will be an experience they will look forward to being nostalgic about.
Nintendo 3DS (gadget)
I know right?! I'm making more u turns than John Kerry but I kept an open mind when it came to the 3DS ( which my fiancé bought for my birthday), and in all honesty it is amazing. The games are graphically superior to anything I have ever seen on a portable, they are just so immersive. There is sooo much potential in this latest nintendo offering. Augmented reality, 3D photos, and of course the games make this one hell of a device, stories in the paper suggest that some people aren't entirely happy with it. But it just seems like a bunch idiots complying about nothing, there is a switch to adjust the level of 3D so it seems like a petty complaint. Seriously, would people sue an music player maker for how loud it is? (Well, maybe in America).
Give The Drummer Some By Travis Barker (Album)
Travis Barker takes a break from making blink 182 look good, to work with some of hip hops best artists. The result is a wonderfully crafted album that is filled with killer tracks. The calibre of artists that Travis managed to get on this album is astounding. There are too many tracks to talk about the album in great length but for me the highlights of this album include "Beat Goes On" (a track that features Cypress Hill), "Can a Drummer Get Some" ( featuring Lil Wayne and the Game) and "Let's Go" ( featuring Busta Rhymes, Lupe Fiasco and Twista). This album is definitely worth giving a go, even if your not really into hip hop you will probably find a track you like.
Machete (Movie)
We first got a glimpse of this film, when it came as a trailer for Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez' 'Grindhouse' double feature, and since then I have been counting the days until this potential masterpiece was released. The problem is when you wait along time for something like this you build up your expectations and sometimes you find that it just doesn't live up to it. However that definitely wasn't the issue here. This film was a-mazing, I don't want to ruin it too much but this film had it all, a fantastic cast (including Robert De Niro, Steven Segal and Danny Trejo as the title character.) The plot is simple but in the sense that it doesn't bog you down with too much to think about. Essentially its a tale of revenge, that includes some unbelievably gory scenes. All in all if your looking for a kick ass action movie that is smart, yet uncomplicated then this film is the one for you.
So there you have it this was my list of kick ass things that cheer me up for the month of April, gonna start on next months, as well as doing a proper blog post involving angry sweaty words and insults about dwarfs.
