Beaches
If you are looking for some great beaches you can go to in the Boston area in the winter, this is the place for you. Apparently, in Boston beaches are no longer open to the public only in the summer. In fact, in the summer they are much more rare!

I'm Dreaming of a White X-Mas (Lie)
It's amazing how far behind one can get in their video editing when occupied with a number of things such as working every day!! Anyways it just came to my attention today that I still have videos from 2007 (such as this one) not posted yet, and with the summer quickly approaching (big movie period), a few of these older videos really need to get squared away. So expect massive updates in the coming day(s)!
This first video I doubt anyone will find much interest in. See, every year my family gets together for a little x-mas party sort of deal. Well we have a very strange tradition. Every year santa claus comes and gives presents to the kids. this has been an area of contraversy in the family for awhile as one side of the arguement says the kids like santa and the other side says it is not right to mislead the kids, which is I guess what is being done here.
In the end, I don't think it's a big deal but every year everyone becomes more and more reluctant to partake!! (Won't catch me doing it thats for sure...)

Top 10 Jackie Chan Fight Scenes
The Forbidden Kingdom
This movie brings me back to the days of the Kung Fu classics. When Kung Fu movies dominated the world and that was all anyone ever watched. Bruce Lee was kickin' peoples asses and Jackie Chan was jumping onto trucks and punching people. Steven Seg...... wait, never mind.
Anyways, those days may have been here the whole time, although slightly forgotten by many Americans Kung Fu movies have continued to be popular in Asia, and when released in America most of these titles tend to go straight to video. It is nice to see a true Kung Fu movie come back to American theaters to hopefully spark a re-interest in the genre. Unlike Crouching Tiger of House of Flying daggers the story in this movie sucks a lot more (which is a good thing) allowing for less plot and way more Kung Fu action.
The story is this: A boy in a shop finds a blade and must return it to the monkey king in another time so he is teleported there meets Jackie Chan who is basically drunken master in this as he is a character that drinks wine for health!!! Anyways the blade is recognized and Chan agrees to help bring it to the monkey king. Along the way there is a monk that steals the blade because he does not realize the boy and chan are trying to bring it to the monkey king. when he does realize however they join forces. The rest of the movie is an epic kick-ass battle to get to the monkey king and then to get him his blade so he can return.
The monk and the monk-ey king are both played by jet li.

Eagle Vs. Shark
I'm not sure what inspired me to watch Eagle Vs. Shark. Maybe I didn't know what this movie was going to be about... I heard the name "Eagle vs. Shark" and thought damn that sounds ill an eagle is going to battle with a shark. No, that is not the case. However, Eagle vs Shark is still a decent movie...
This movie definitely is not for everyone, it centers around a very strange girl named Lily who works in a fast food restaurant. Every day this one guy, Jarrod, comes in and she has a crush on him, but he is very strange too and tends to avoid her whenever possible. One day, the line for the other register is excessively long so he is forced to go to her register where she gives him free fries because she is trying to impress him. He gives her an invitation to a party he is throwing - a costume party where you have to come dressed as your favorite animal. Lily goes dressed as a shark and Jarrod as an Eagle. Somehow they end up dating after like a couple days. Jarrod is on this ultimate quest to beat up an old high school bully in his hometown. He trains for awhile and then him and Lily take a trip to his parents house...... But the bully he is supposed to beat up turns out to be newly handicapped, in a wheelchair....
This movie is the ultimate of awkward situations, and strange comedy. It's like Napoleon Dynamite with a little more drama.... I don't think that means if you liked Napoleon you will automatically like this movie, really it's a chance either way... There are parts of this movie I liked and parts I disliked but all together I'd say it's a pretty solid piece.

XBOX 360 Grand Adventure of Awesome
We'll start from the beginning....
Once upon a time I, "Sir Awesome"(Egin), used to have an Xbox 360. It was a 360 like no other and it was dear to my heart for it was my first console in the new millenium. It was also the first console I ever modded which made proud of the glorious 360 in my living room. One day though, the dreaded and fear "Scene It" came took my 360 away from me. It left me with a scarred and bruised Red Ring of Death scrap.
I was furious so I set on a quest to replace and build a better more powerful xbox. I soon found out my quest would be delayed. The glorious Hitachi drives had become extinct and were overrun by Benq. I was foolish in those days and thought, if I search hard enough, i will find another hitachi. I will revive my lost friend. I was wrong, Benq was quick and well trained. There were no traces of hitachi or Samsung....only Benq.
I decided I would set on a new quest to conquer the drive that is Benq. Along with my trusty side-kick "Mr Douchebag" (Rob) I would triumph. Once again I was foiled by the lack of technology. We couldn't figure what made Benq tick, how to get inside its brain and pick it out.
Fear not! An ally from the friendly kingdom of NewEgg had the necessary tech to penetrate the tough defense of Benq. With the help of VIA we were able to make progress but we knew we couldn't do it from the comfortable home of Mr. Douchebag. We needed to go on a journey to a far away land known as KK Kastle.
It was a dark dreary place where not many dwelled. After contacting the prince of KK Kastle, "Sir Homo of UMASS" (Klaus) we thought we would have safe passage into KK Kastle. We were wrong, Sir Homo betrayed us and didn't inform the residents of our visit. We were met with unwelcoming hands. With my charm we were able to get in and once again try to defeat the Benq.
Hours later we were victorious! We conquered the mighty powerhouse and once again I can enjoy the wonders of Skate and other fine games. And since I am such a caring and nice person, we were able to capture two Benqs so my sidekick Mr Douchebag could also enjoy the wonders that i had missed for so long.
Until next time....this is goodbye.
