I’ve been doing a lot of thinking tonight. I just recently lost a dear friend of mine to cancer, who was only 38 years old. We used to work together, and would regularly go out for smokes all the time. His funeral and wake this weekend has me pondering my own mortality, and everything there is to look forward to in life. One of the things I’ve been thinking about is my cigarette habit, and how addicted I am to nicotine and tobacco. This started as a casual habit, admittedly because I had friends who were smokers, and I got …

In an effort to simply observe and report what is active and prolonged cases of extreme bad taste in individuals in the media spotlight, I’ve started a new category on the Five O’Clock Track Tream. It’s called “Douche Alert”. FYI…when the post says “Xtreme Douche Alert”, it requires you to quite literally put down whatever the hell it is that you’re doing…like I don’t care if you’re getting surgery…and check this out.

Hello track teamers,
This post is going to unite us in a way unlike anything we have ever experienced before. I was introduced to the Angry Video Game Nerd recently by a friend, and felt as if a waterfall (a la Duran Duran’s video for The Reflex) of understanding hit my head, as an early thirtysomething former regular Nintendo fanatic. James Rolfe’s video pieces on the most frustrating games made me realize just in fact how much of my early childhood I spent obsessively attempting to perfect certain areas in Nintendo games that were near …

In light of the recent massive spat of “25 random things about me” notes on Facebook, I decided to do my own.
25. I once saved my sister’s life in Italy. It wasn’t the first time I did this. I also saved her life when she tried to swallow a penny. I did not administer the Heimlich Maneouver. Instead… I mimicked a fight move by I learned in Street Fighter 2 and my Dad was less than enthused.
24. I love Chuck Klosterman books.
23. Steel Panther is the greatest band in the world. Go and fuck yourself if you think …

This was a mistake and it’s no secret in Hollywood circles. This sleeper of a 1994 film was not only widely panned, but also generated some massive anger from fans of Raoul Julia, who had to deal with this being his last film role. This was at the tailend of JCVD’s popularity, and even he admitted that he thought the movie was terrible.
Hard to believe that’s Mickey Rourke, eh? Yes…he accepted roles like this when he REALLY needed to crank it up a notch to get blow. …
