"Gore in '08!"

One step closer to it becoming official! Clinton thinks a Gore 2008 bid is not out of the question!Clinton and Gore are still close, so its not like its just anyone saying this. Gore could be a dark, horse. He became a movie star last summer, and the young people just love Gore. Gore plans to have concerts all around the world to promote global warming awareness. Although, he joked he about running during the oscars (he got one for his movie) keep in mind despite the media coverage the election isn't actually this year it is next year. Gore has plenty of time to throw his hat into the game. I certainly hope he does, if he does I will have to register as a democrat just to get his nomination, because that will be the only time voting would count. Considering he gets the noimination for his party, the state will go to the democrats anyway, but I think he would have a harder time getting the nomination than winning it all if that makes sense. Honestly, I think he might be better off as just running as an indepedent if he fails to get the nomination. A person like Gore would be invited to debates and what not, unlike Nader or Al Sharpton or whoever. My cut paste is not working but, trust me there is a good article on it in USA TODAY online.

"Roll For It"

Growing up on the show the transformers like many other kids my age, for whatever reason its one of the cartoons I can still watch and care about as an adult. I have all the original cartoons on DVD from the 1980's. But, its not just me most of my friends still love the series (though many of them like me have not watched the different verisions more modern additions on the cartoon network that have aired since the 90s) and I guess the people in hollywood realize that because they are making a new movie this summer.

Even times with guys I don't know the movie will start being talked about a 30 mins conversation about the show will start. Talking about the time the bad guys almost drilled through the earth, the impact the first movie had on you as a child(if you really loved Wheel Jack, I don't maybe you were close to tears as a 7 yearold seeing it for the first time over Craig MOffitt's house. I am not saying that was me or anything though). I guess it doesn't usually appeal to females all that much, but for some reason this series has stuck with most guys all these years. If guys needed another reason to see this movie (I still think it might suck). The girl in this picture is in the movie, and if you want to see a less work friendly picture of her click here.

"Goosebumps"

Although they are tied for the least amount of wins in Major League Baseball right now, I am not ready at all to give up on the Phillies 2007 season. Well, not yet anyway. They have dug themselves a pretty big hole. The problem is here, that two teams in their divison the Mets and the Braves are pretty decent. The phillies won today, but they need to get hot pretty much right now, or I too will be forced to write off the season. As odd as that sounds in April. But, at the very least they have already put themselves in the same situation they did the last two seasons, which resulted in no playoffs for the Phillies at all. They have dug themselves a pretty big hole right out of the gates, and there is little sign that the bull pen problem will correct itself anytime soon. Thoughts?

"Spiderman Lookout!"

Spiderman 3 comes out fairly soon, and I think someone just ruined it for me. He reminded that in Spiderman 2, pretty much everyone and their brother find out that Peter Parker is indeed Spiderman!


So, in Spiderman 3 the arch villan could easily get revenge on Spiderman by just going to his place of business and shooting it up right? Or taking MJ or Peter's aunt and killing them.

I don't really see much of a sense of him wearing a mask anymore. Maybe he will quit his low paying job and try to get paid at by the City of New York to fight crime or something.


I wonder how they will paint themselves out of this corner!

"Mike Seaver"

Okay, I have seen this episode of Scrubs twice now, and both times it really bothered me. Over all it was a great show, but they put a pop-culture re fence in there that was flat out wrong. Sadly, I knew this with having to look it up.


JD (Zack Braff) for whatever reason is trying to make his late 2oish brother not look as sad living at home with his mom, so he talked about the mid 80's to early 90's sitcom Growing Pains.

He said that in the last season that Mike (Kirk Cameron) moved above the garage of his parents house, with his friend Boner. His friends didn't remember Boner, so JD just got strange looks.

Okay couple of things wrong here.


1. Mike moved into the apartment disconnected from his parents house many seasons before the final season.
2. I don't think it was actually supposed to be a garage. Because they would always play basketball in the drive way where there was a garage door. The door was not where Mike lived it was perpendicular to where he lived.
3. Boner and Mike never lived together anywhere
4. Boner left for the army the season after him and Mike graduated highschool which was in the middle of the series run. Not only did they never live together at any point, but Boner was never seen again after leaving for the army. Or even mentioned from what I recall.
5. There could be no confusion here, Mike never had anyone live there with him at any point. So, it is not like they confused characters. We all know Leo came in the final season, but he lived in the house with the rest of the family, and I pretty sure he got Mike's old room.


What is the point on doing this when you are way off? They could have made the joke work, instead of making me remove myself from the show for so long both times that I watched it that writers didn't bother to brush up on the Growing Pains before making the reference. Whatever....

"Walk Into the Future"

I went to the Ecehelon Mall this weekend, and they have already start remaking the area into the Voorhees Town Center. The mall, as I reported is to be cut in half, altough it seems to me more like cut to 1/4 the size. The mall ends at that cool sports store down when you go right out of the foot court.

Well there is a long torn up hall way now that leads you towards the only two other stores down there now Radio Shack and Macy's. Eventually they will have an all new entreance to the mall there. The rest has been torn down for the most part. J C Penny's empty building is no longer connceted to the mall but still there. Sears is gone.

If you go left out of the food court the floor has been total ripped up. I guess the good thing is what is left of the mall is already almost full. Execpt for where the theater was and handful of other stores. They have many signs with the new catch phrase, walk into the future.

The mall as usual was pretty empty as usual once you left the food court (which oddly enough has a jewery store in it now) and even the new store Pay/Half didn't seem to have started any kind of buzz with the employees outnumbering the customers (people there out of boredom and to blog material included).


Where one store once stood is now as time capsule to Echelon, the name will soon be dropped but the display case has all kinds of stuff from back in the day. THey have the shovel that first broke ground in the 70's, pictures of when it was an airport, and boxes from Kimbels (my parent told me about that I don't recall that place). THey also have old Courier-Post newspapers about the mall. One from 2001, when the rumors first started that it was going to close. Yes, that's right its been 6 long years and counting since this whole thing started. I was thinking on printing up a blog article and giving it to them, but I am pretty sure they would not put it in the case.

Many people, have their doubts that a new grocery store, townhouses, and a main street like set up will fail horribly. At this point I am glad they finally just did something. Empty Businesses lead to loss in property value, which result in shady people moving in, which result in crime going up. That part of Voorhees, and many of the towns in in that area of Camden County including my home town ( any man of my readers)have seen a huge many businesses bail out in the last few years and crime increase. The mall itself from what I have heard is a victim of a jewelry robbery on a pretty much weekly basis. In addition to almost every office building around the mall being totally empty.

Right now there isn't much to sell to the public but a mall ripped in half and gutted in side, so I don't imagine they will start trying to win the hearts and minds of anyone just yet. But they got their work cut out for them, because of almost a decade of people thinking the mall was either closing or closed already.

As I was walking upstairs where most the empty spots are.

I heard one guy said to his friend as they past me.

"Dis mall iz shot up, yo, for real!"

That is more a less how most people feel about the place.
