Some more info on the things I like.

Dragonball Z is a japanimation about a group of fighters with Goku as the main hero. A lot of martial arts are used with fantastic energy attacks that are not realistic, but entertaining. The Dragonballs are 7 magic balls that when gathered will summon the eternal dragon to grant a wish. The Dragonball series is actually broken up into 3 parts- Dragonball- Goku as a child. Dragonball Z- Goku as a young man. Dragonball GT- At the start Goku gets wished back into childhood.

Brimstone is about a detective that gets sent to hel* for killing the man that raped his wife. The devil makes a deal with him to send him back to earth. All he has to do is send some of the most evil beings that just escaped from hel* back to hel*. The only way this can be done though is by destroying their eyes(the windows to the soul). All throughout the series the hero and the devil have conversations that are usually very amusing. Their are several fan fiction sites around that I read that were real good, just do a keyword search on Brimstone. Brimstone unfortunately does not air anymore on TV here.

Normally I do not like the cop type shows, but I changed my mind for The Shield. The Shield is about Detective Vic Mackey and all the interworkings of a police station. Vic leads a strike team normally dealing with drugs, prostitution, etc. The show is quite hardcore and has quite a few twists in the storylines.

My Favorite Poem

FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life, there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me." The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints in the sand, it was then that I carried you."

--------------------
1-10 rating: 1 being lowest, 10 being highest
--------------------
Drinks
--------------------
Carb Countdown Fat Free Dairy Beverage- 8 -the taste could be better but the benefits outweigh it, more protein, less carbs, calcium
Glaceau- 8 - Tried several flavors each was good with some added vitamins.
Rush Energy Lite- 7 - Nothing special to say about this
Sobe Sugar Free No Fear Drink- 9 -by far the best energy drink vitamin and taste wise
Starbucks Double Espresso Shot- 9 -you have to like coffee to begin with though
--------------------

Food
--------------------
Nutri-Grain Granola Bar- 7 - Not one of the best granola bars that I have tried by any means.
Power Bar- 6 -Only thing good I can say about this is that if you want a jaw workout you got it.
Zone Perfect Bar- 9 -the best protein bar, very balanced with carbs,protein, and fat. A lot of vitamins and minerals. The best thing is that it tastes just like a candy bar.
--------------------

Movies
--------------------
Absolute Power- 7.5 -Clint Eastwood is a pretty good actor, but this is one of his better films
Alien vs Predator- 8 -Was the best Predator movie to me, Never really cared too much for the Alien movies though.
Assault on Precint 13- 8 -If you like cop movies, you will like this
Best of the Best- 9 -If you a martial arts competitor or action fan you will really like this movie
Best of the Best 2- 7.5 -Goes downhill in the sequel
Best of the Best 3- 7 -Still going downhill
Blade- 8 - Wesley Snipes does a great job playing this part. Good storyline but of course I am partial to comics.
Blade 2- 8 - Amazingly enough a good sequel.
Blade 3- 8 - Three good movies in a series is pretty rare.
Boat Trip- 7 -Worth a few laughs
Cheaper by the Dozen- 7.5 -Steve Martin is always funny, another good family movie
Clockwork Orange- 10 -This could pass for a great movie even nowadays, even though it is over 20 years old.
Confessions of a Dangerous Mind- 5 -Not even the good actors- Drew Barrymore and George Clooney save this movie
Constantine- 8 -Keanu represented this character very well. They went somewhat off the original comic book story line, but it was still a good plot
The Cutting Edge- 8 -I actually watched this movie a couple of times. Had to wait a year though between each time
Dracula 2000- 9 -Really great vampire movie
Dracula 2:Ascension- 8 -Scott Lee and vampires- good combination, but not quite as good as the prequel
Dream A Little Dream- 10 -This is one of the few movies I have watched over 5 times. It has a good soundtrack also
Dummy- 4 -You are a dummy if you watch this movie, it was supposed to be a comedy, but I did not laugh
Entrapment- 9 -Worth watching if you like Sean Connery or Catherine Zeta Jones
Excalibur- 8 -More lively version of the Arthurian era, another real long movie
Exit to Eden- 9 -It was funny and very entertaining. Can not describe too much because I would get kicked off angelfire
Fat Albert- 7 -Had a few funny parts, worth watching once
First Knight- 9 -IMHO the best of the Arthur movies. I think it was mainly because Richard Gere and Sean Connery were in it
Freddy vs Jason- 9 -My expectations were very high for this movie. It possibly could have been a little better, but not by much
The Glimmer Man- 8.5 -One of Steven Seagal's best movies
Gothika- 7.5 -Interesting horror movie. Has a few cool twists in it
House of 1000 Corpses- 8 -I was actually suprised on this one. I thought it was going to be awful, but it was cool and twisted
Jerry Maguire- 9 -One of Tom Cruise's and Cuba Gooding's best movies
Jury Duty- 7 -This will be the only Pauly shore movie I rate, because they are all around a 7 rating. They all are worth watching at least once.
King Arthur- 7 -Most realistic version of the Arthurian era that I know of. But it was somewhat boring at certain parts
Little Black Book- 7 -It had a few funny parts, and should be watched at least once because there is a few things to learn from it
The Medallion- 7 -Same as my comment for Jury Duty. All Jackie Chan movies are around a 7 also
Men in Black- 8 -Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones make a good team. Good plot
Men in Black 2- 8-Same as above.
Merlin - 9 -Really good movie, very long though. Amazingly enough it never went to the theaters. I think they originally showed it on the sci-fi channel then it went to VHS.
My Best Friend's Wedding- 7-Nice soundtrack. Few good humourous parts in it.
The Notebook- 8-Yes I will admit to watching this, it was very sweet, I hear everyone saying ahhhh.
Out of Time- 7.5-I liked it, but probably will not watch again.
The Pallbearer- 5 -Blah.
Punch Drunk Love- 6 -A few good parts in it. Overall sort of drags though.
Racing Stripes- 8 -A pretty good movie to watch with a family.
Spanglish- 6 -I like Adam Sandler, but this is not a good movie. He is the secondary actor in this movie. I did not consider it a comedy by any means.
Swat- 8.5 -Real good movie, Colin Farrell did a great job.
X-Men- 8 -Solid movie, did well converting from Comic to movie.
X-Men 2- 8.5 -Liked this one a little better than the first due to more characters.
--------------------

Books
--------------------
Combat Conditioning by Matt Furey- 9.5 -This is one book that helped change my mind about the way I exercise and train in martial arts. Matt also has a free daily email that he sends out with good tips in it.
Combat Abs by Matt Furey- 9.5 -Another great book by Matt Furey. If you practice these exercises you definitely will combat ready abs.
The Greatest Salesman in the World by Og Mandino- 10 -This is my favorite book. It is a means to live a good fullfilling life. I will warn you though even though the principles are simple they will take a lot of work to apply.
The Underground Guide to Warrior Fitness by Ross Enamait- 10 -This is the best all-around training guide I have read. Almost all of it can be done without any equipment.
Zen in the Martial Arts by Joe Hyam- 10 -This is required spiritual reading. It can easily be read in one sitting.
