It’s All Mike

Will it be my first hurricane or just another storm? It’s suppose to turn into one…
(I’m where the red square is)

Here she is! The brand spankin’ new Sharp Aquos 32″ LCD HDTV! I don’t have HDTV yet (need to get a new box). I’ll get that after I move at the end of the month. :biggrin:

My month long wait is over. I received a phone call today offering me a position as a website production intern! The recruiter I talked to told me some of the things I would be doing – some that struck me as great would be that I get to work with Walt Disney Imagineering, present projects/reports to executives :blink: , and join in on all other kinds of activities they have for me like backstage tours at the parks. Sounds like this might be fun! :biggrin: I’ll be working in the real life “Pleasantville” : Celebration, Florida. Depending on how fast the paperwork is completed, I may start next Monday or the week after. This shall be fun!

I was sitting here on my couch doing nothing as usual and I saw a little lizard running across the room. I’ve never seen one this small. So I put him in a little container and let him go outside. I took pictures!!

I watched the movie Felon yesterday. I’ve never actually heard of it until I got it. It’s a movie about a husband and father that goes to prison for what was “almost” an act of self-defense. Basically the whole movie just shows what he goes through in prison. Sorry, I know the description is vague but I can’t give anything away. Trust me, it’s a great movie. I think this bursts into my top 5 favorite movies of all time.

SPOILER ALERT!! Don’t read on if you plan on reading or watching The Mist.

Earlier today I finished reading a Stephen King book titled The Mist. I thought it was a pretty good book, and it had a very open ending. Well, it really didn’t have an ending – you have to use your imagination I guess. I thought it would be interesting to watch the movie right after finishing the book. I was surprised to see how much the movie actually followed the book. One noticeable difference was the graphic content in the movie. Of course gore and stuff like that are much easier to see than read. I guess you can’t get too gory with words. The big big difference between the book and the movie was the end. Like I said, the end of the book was non-existent. The end of the movie was one of the most depressing endings I’ve ever seen. To sum it up – in the end of the book they are in a deserted building, trying to get out of the mist. Then it ends. That’s it. In the movie, they are driving through the mist looking for a way out and run out of gas. They all realize it’s over so the main character shoots his little boy along with the three other passangers (to end their suffering). With no bullets left, he gets out of the car wanting to be killed by the monsters in the mist. Funny enough, minutes after he kills everyone and gets out of the car, the military rolls by – the mist clears and everyone is saved (except the people he just killed). Woops.

Either way I’d highly recommend the book and movie, if you can handle it.

Back sometime in or around the year 2003 I made a little song with the Finale Music Composition Software. Unfortunately it isn’t complete (and never will be). It’s definitely worth listening to though! So now for your listening pleasure (press play below), I present: Mikes Song

As some or none of you may know, I had the opportunity to go to a Dave Matthews Band concert in West Palm Beach. Just for fun here is audio of one of the highlights of the night for me (So Much To Say/Anyone Seen The Bridge/Too Much). Just in case you’re wondering: yes, recording and distributing audio of concerts is legal for DMB. Enjoy! (click the play button below)
