8 Things Before Starting a Business
Posted Tuesday, September 7, at 2:38 PM I must link to an article for this particular blog to be relevant and to give credit where credit is due - as I was inspired to write based off the following article titled '8 Things I wish I knew before Starting a Business' http://entrepreneur.venturebeat.com/2010/08/19/8-things-i-wish-i-knew-before-starting-a-business/...
Grandma Verna Dame This past week, my family experienced the loss of a great woman - my Grandma - Verna Dame. She was an extremely awesome person and we loved her dearly. I made a short video celebrating her life and I post it here for friends and family that could not come back for the funeral to view...
Five Months Has it really been 5 full months since the last time I wrote a blog? My last submission was an effort to get some people of McCook behind a small movement to get the local Cinema 3 some support for converting over to 3D screens. It didn't go so well as nobody really voiced an opinion in the comments. Either nobody cares about 3D films as much as myself and my friends or nobody wanted to post about it...
So a good deal of people seem to be feeling like McCook's Cinema 3 should be updated to show 3D movies. Fridley Theatres owns the Cinema 3 Theatre and they are based out of Iowa and run a group of theatres across Iowa and a few in Nebraska. They are a great family owned company that has been doing it for quite some time now. ...
Healthcare and a return to the blogs... So I took a break... I didn't really mean to take a break as I just got so busy that I had to cut back on some of the things I was doing on a regular basis. The blog and writing movie reviews was one of the first things to go and I'll get back to the blog first with some movie reviews mixed in (or at least blurbs about what I'm watching or excited for)...
So I haven't been blogging lately due to the holiday season and being extremely busy - mostly to being extremely busy. However, I did want to take some time out to do a little promoting for a thing called First Night. First Night is an event that I am sponsoring through Divine Productions, Spotlight Studios, and Game On. ...
Princess & the Frog I had a chance to watch the new Disney animated flick that is a return to the hand-drawn wonderment that built the Mouse House. 'The Princess and the Frog' is a new take on the classic fairytale that the frog will turn into a prince when kissed by a princess. It's an amazingly well animated film with lots of sequences that just dazzle the eyes with colors and innovative animation. A true return to form for Disney...
New Moon Really? Opening Weekend of $142 million? I just can't seem to wrap my mind around why a book that is so terribly written, a movie that is terribly made (not to mention BORING), actors that CANNOT ACT and a bit of sex appeal involving vampires and werewolves is that exciting, especially to young girls. When did young girls start liking vampires and werewolves? What happened to 'girl' things?...
Black Friday After a grueling 2 day session -- Tanner Lytle and myself finished the Game On Black Friday Insert. Tanner managed to do most of the 'heavy' lifting by doing the main design work while I dealt with the overall specials/printing issues and organization. ...
So, I took some more Senior Photos this week. The one above I'm especially happy with -- it's of Nick Meissner, a Senior at McCook High School. Nick is a great person and works part-time for me at Divine Productions as a DJ and we share a common interest in video games and card games -- evidenced by his Game On shirt in the picture. ...
A Bit Early...Don't Ya Think? So, I went and watched A Christmas Carol. Not the old versions, but the new motion capture, animated big screen version starring Jim Carrey. I was a bit excited as I tend to enjoy the Christmas Carol story and seeing it in a new animated version would be enjoyable. ...
Another Month Over... It is October 31st at closing time for Game On. We are unusually slow tonight -- mainly because of all the activities to do on Halloween night. The whole Westview Plaza is pretty slow actually which is a nice change from the craziness that it can be with our tournaments and the movies at Cinema 3, but we are looking forward to November and the amazing amount of things that we've got going on...
The Catch-Up The Catch-Up So -- I was going to update this every week but ended up getting behind. Thus, I am now playing catch-up. I've posted the first blog on http://www.mccookgazette.com at this point and will converge the two blogs together so I am only writing one blog instead of three which I was trying to do at one point about a month ago. Needless to say, I quit that pretty quick...
A NEW DIRECTION (not just movie reviews!) The NEW FIRST TIME BLOG POST - again. It is 11:51pm on Saturday, October 3rd, 2009 and I just started writing this blog. Previously, I have had a few blogs -- mostly centered around a specific theme -- Gaming and Movies. I've decided that my true loves are much more diverse than just gaming and movies. ...
Wolverine and not much else... So, this week is kind of slow... --- X-men Origins: Wolverine I reviewed this flick in theatres and still pretty much agree with the original review. It's not as much fun to watch the film as it was the first couple times, but still a great action film and it is just me or is 'mutant' abilities becoming the norm? I see crap coming out of someone's hand and don't even question why - I'm just like 'ah, must be a mutant.' I think I should be questioning these things. ...
Crank 2 and Dance Flick - The Office Season FIVE So - another week, more flicks. --- Crank 2: High Voltage This is a sequel to a mildly successful movie that wasn't supposed to be - so the best idea would be to make a sequel! Well, the sequel is more of the same blasted to new heights and manages to become boring doing this. ...
State of Play and Earth State of Play This is an interesting flick and one that I thought I wouldn't like. I do enjoy watching Ben Affleck, but Russell Crowe is a hit and miss type of guy for me. Sometimes he's great such as Gladiator, and other times, well he's just terrible. ...
Adventureland, Sunshine Cleaning, Duplicity, and Fighting Lots of new releases this week. Adventureland I was most excited for this flick as it was advertised as a comedy from the director of 'Superbad' and most previews made it seem like another teen flick that would be similiar to Superbad. This made me want to see the movie as Superbad was an excellent comedy. ...
Hannah Montana - Last House on the Left I watched one of these two movies - can you guess which one? If you said Hannah Montana you were right. Hannah Montana Movie The big screen debut of the Hannah Montana character was excellent and well worth watching on the big screen - of which I did and the review can be found by going here - http://www.mccookgazette.com/story/1530132.html. ...
I Love You, Man and others I'm a day late getting this posted and I apologize. I managed to find myself a bit busier than usual on a Tuesday and a few things had to be pushed back including DVD reviews. But now that Wednesday is here, I'm ready to start reviewing some flicks...
