Theory of a Deadman Concert… TONIGHT
Guess who got tickets to see Theory of a Deadman at Throttle Fest @ House of Blues tonight? Oh yeah, Baby. Can't wait. I've been a big Theory fan for a while, and I've managed to miss the last two times they were in the area. Not gonna happen this time.
Now if I can find someone to bank roll a drinking binge while somehow convincing Zilla that I need another day off . . . . . .
Noah Knows Sexy
The first time I heard this song, it was a "guess this tune" moment on the radio. Needless-to-say, I had NO IDEA until very late in the song. To state it simply: HOMEY CAN SING, and very well.
Take a moment and check out some of his other tunes like: "Somebody That I Used To Know" by Goyte or even "Tears In Heaven" by Clapton. Good stuff here, people. Don't miss out.
See, something good does come out of South Carolina every once in a while.

Black Ops 2 Trailer
Oh My. All I can say. It looks as if the new Call of Duty, Black Ops 2, is going to be pretty kick ass. Granted, the clip mostly shows non-playable and single player content, but it looks cool enough to be labeled: Bad Ass.
From Yahoo:
If there's one thing Call of Duty fans have been missing out on since the very beginning of the storied franchise, it's a glimpse into the future. Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 was just revealed in a two minute long trailer, and the best word to describe it is indeed "futuristic." With weaponry ranging from walking robotic tanks, to quadrocopters equipped with mounted machine guns, the CoD franchise is taking a step past modern warfare and heading straight into the great unknown.
The first Black Ops title ventured into the lore behind Vietnam and the Cold War through the tortured memories of Sgt. Frank Woods. Well, the good soldier is back, and the year 2025 brings him into a world where combat is done by machines, with support from soldiers equipped with some very far-out weaponry.
Better start saving my pennies now. If they are already talking about quadrocopters and robots, I can't wait to see what all is actually packed inside. At this point, no one really cares about the Offline, single player game. It's all about multiplayer and zombies. Futuristic zombies.... hmmmm...
More info when it becomes available.
Free Comic Day
And in this case, Free means Free. Saturday, May 5th is the Official Free Comic Book Day at your local comic book store. According to Wikipedia:
Free Comic Book Day is an annual promotional effort by the North American comic book industry to help bring new readers into independent comic book stores. Retailer Joe Field of Flying Colors Comics in Concord, CA brainstormed the event in his "Big Picture" column in the August 2001 issue of Comics & Games Retailer magazine. Free Comic Book Day started in 2002 and is coordinated by the industry's single large distributor, Diamond Comic Distributors. The next event will be on May 5, 2012.
Considering how much anime porn in on the Internet, Free is about the only way these places can stay in business. With The Avenger's movie coming out this weekend, I'm betting comic book stores will get A LOT of publicity. Might be worth a visit to the local store, if for nothing else to mingle with the freaks.
Happy B-day Shoney’s Big Boy
I ate a good bit at Shoney's Restaurant when i was a child. Now, i can't tell you the last time i set foot in the place and I have one a mile and a half from the house. Go figure. I can remember, as a family, going in late on a Friday or Saturday night when they offered the breakfast buffet. And those damn strawberry pies were to die for. Yum.
Here's your chance to try (or re-try) that All-American establishment as they celebrate their 65th anniversary with 65ยข All-American Cheeseburgers on Thursday, May 5th. It's a good size burger, so this is actually a pretty good deal. Not sure what other specials they might be offering, but feel free to check out the Hot Birthday Deals for further info.
Coming Soon – Black Ops 2 !!
From IGN.com:
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 has been confirmed as the next Call of Duty game. While the title has been long-rumored and hinted at by several leaks and rumors, an image of a Target pre-order card sent in by IGN reader Richard has confirmed the game's title and release date.
As shown on the card, the game hits stores on November 13, 2012 and will be headed to at least PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Black Ops 2 will be formally announced on May 1st during the NBA playoffs.
SWEET!! I am seriously excited. Granted, I couldn't find any more details concerning "Who" is making the game, or what era the game will be set in, but I'm still stoked. We've been playing the most current Modern Warfare since it came out, and I'm pretty much over it. Ralf's sole ambition in life is to finish the game before Me, so maybe I'll just let him have the win, go back to the first Black Ops and just rape people. (i mean that in a nice way.) Damn. I guess I'm gonna have to sit through some frickin' NBA action just to see the commercial. watDhell.
The first Black Ops was set in the Vietnam era, and featured weapons and technology of that time. The graphics are not as realistic as Modern Warfare, but I actually LIKED that aspect. My main complaint was that Black Ops did not offer Titles or Emblems. I'm big on the Achievements and Challenges and it's always nice to have something to show for that. In fact, that's one of the main reasons I play MW now. Hopefully that will be something they change in the new one. We shall definitely see. 
Fantasy Sports Update
I'm leading the current segment of Fantasy Golf at the moment, but we all know how that goes. I wasn't even gonna mention it, but watDhell. Might as well enjoy the view while i can. Zilla is still in the overall lead, but I'm gaining a little each week. Baby steps. What you don't get to see in this picture is that I have seven wins so far this season. The next closest person is Zilla with 4. I'll have new boots before the season is over.
Yeah.... not doing so good in this part of the World. I actually have a Win, but little good that does me. What you don't see here is that Fuzzy has ZERO wins.... go figure.
Fantasy Football is right around the corner, and I can't wait. Last year was brutal for me, but I plan to spring back. I have a new strategy for this year: Win more.
Back.
Told you I would be back.
Gonna be a long day. I can tell already.
You would think that after taking so much time off that I would have had time to prepare for today. Well, that's the problem: I haven't had time to spend here. Hopefully that will change in the near future; however, there's a good chance it won't. Definitely some changes coming for both sites. Hopefully they will start coming today. In fact, one major change, for today, NO Daily Catch pics. Just didn't have time to get to them. That may be a sign of things to come, but we'll see how today goes.
Hope your day goes well.
Closed Until May 1st
NO NEW UPDATES, of any kind, UNTIL MAY 1st.
I'm looking at it as a short term hiatus. For those who have visited this page over the last ten years, you know that the DAILY update was a big deal. Pretty sure the record for most consecutive days is well over 800. At this point, I just need a break from it. It's just no longer fun to do.
I could spend several paragraphs laying out all the details; however, it's easier to say that I'll be back in the posting spirit in or around May 1st. Incidentally, as of this moment, I can't speak for the forum just yet. My ultimate goal is to completely unplug for a length of time and Geezer has done more than enough of the heavy lifting up until now.
If it's open, it's open. Maybe I'll leave more of a rant there, maybe I'll shutter it as well. We'll see how the day goes. Till May... have a good one, be safe, keep your powder dry.
