Degrassi disappointed street

back in 2001 Degrassi aired a 1 hour reunion episode to launch Degrassi The Next Gen. I never saw it or maybe I did and forced myself to forget caz I had zero knowledge this existed , so almost a decade later I finally watched a show I craved to see.

Im starting to believe I actually did see it and then sniffed glue to blank my head only to forget the reasons why I wanted to erase it ,but now its back. I HATED IT!!!!!!!

First off , they changed the goddamn timeline. The older class was Grad 92 , they were coinciding with me to a tee.. they were in grade 8 in '88 , grade 9 in '89.. , Lucy was running for school prez for the following season which meant senior year which was aired /91.. and finally , School's out aired in 92!! now in this stupid reunion show , its the class of 90.. WTF!?!!?!? they also made a major change , Caitlyn is born 1972 in the reunion show which meant she grad'ed with the older class! she was in the younger class and graduated early!!!! they messed up the time line completely which totally ruined the thought that this was me and my friends in school. Goddamn it.

Secondly , they actually bring a bunch of people back but they're all standing in the background! they gave Allison more lines than everybody else!!! I understand there were scenes shot but they cut it all out so they can get their precious Joey and Caitlyn story.. whipdee doo. Im here to find out if Alexa and Simon are still married? is Stephanie Kaye all slutty now? did Vuola blossom into a hot piece of ass.. goddamn you , Degrassi.

Thirdly furthering on issue #2, the gave more lines to Allison than the Yickster!!!!! goddamn you.

I cannot convoy my disdain for this reunion episode more , I am thouroughly disturbed. I demand a reboot and redo of this.. 20 years is coming up for me in real life and for the Degrassi crew. Do it right please. None of this bullshit grad 90.. youre Grad 92 assholes.

video blog update: 4/29/10 Canucks/Blackhawks

April 29/10 Vlog episode 2 from Gord Locke on Vimeo.

Run time: 5:48 min. I break down the Canucks blackhawks series. I did an opening reviewing my new webcam but the total blog was very long , I want to aim to keep my blogs to 5-6 minutes.. 10 minutes max.

My new video blog

So I'll be blogging here and on Vimeo from now on. I enjoy working with video stuff so I dont mind the extra effort into doing it. Im just a complete noob being on camera broadcasting myself on the net , Im not a public speaker so there's a lot I have to work on with my speech and dialogue. Hopefully I can start to tolerate myself.

This was shot with my old Micro Webcam I bought in 2003 for 10 bucks along with one of those cheap labtec mics. This was hard to look at so I went out and picked up a new webcam which I will discuss in my next video blog.

Movie Review: Tod Browning's Freaks

I finally watched this 1933 classic I've been aching to see for years. This movie is so profound and lingering it superseded my expectations which I tried to keep nil. My curiosity for the eccentric oddities known as "circus freaks" was met in this film. It sounds rude of me to say that but its the truth and its our nature to be inquisite about "freaks".

Entirely casted with real life "oddities" , they came through with a brilliant performances despite not being actors. Their individual stories are a mix of tragedy to fondness to disturbed , just like "regular" people.

The plot is simplistic and yet so effective. A shallow gold digging primadonna acrobat named Cleopatra conspires with Hercules the strong man of the show to get the manager to marry her and then kill him to inherit all his money. The characters are mesmorizing and bizarre yet so compelling because they are real. You buy into them from the moment you see them.

Its not very long being a 1933 film but its a lovely film. Great example of less is more/better , resulted in a well made movie with a good story differenciated by the cast. I can see why this has the cult following it has caz I am part of this cult now.

Movie Review: sort of.. Keep Your Head Up , Kid - Don Cherry Story

The movie was good considering it was a CBC made for tv feature. 2 parter , 4 hours total.. probably 2 3/4 hours overall without commercials. Very entertaining. I was glued to the show.

I want to comment on some the stuff they portrayed that I didnt know or just forgot.

- Don Cherry blew his chance at an NHL career with a tragic yet bonehead baseball injury in the offseason. He was a bright prospect for the Bruins , dislocated his shoulder and showed up to camp hurt. In those days there is zero sympathy for injuries. His second chance with the LEads blown caz he went after Ron Ellis , the Leafs golden boy.

- Don Cherry coached the Vancouver's AHL affiliate team in Rochester. A) I didnt know the he coached for the Canucks technically and the Canucks gave him his pro coaching break with the Americans. But i now know why he has a disdain ill feeling towards the franchise , they treated him like crap. Tried hard to make him the scape goat and handle him like a puppeteer. Firing him despite doing a good job.

- I didnt know Cherry was also the GM of the Rochester Americans along with being coach the next season as an indepedant AHL team. Meaning no prospects from NHL clubs , he had to recruit the entire roster going camp to camp asking for cast offs. He turned a journeymen tough guy Battleship Kelly into a serviceable NHLer and from a business point of view , signed him for 7500 bucks and sold him to St.Louis for 50K.

- HIs personal work with JOhn Weinsink and making him a personal project and turned him into a respectable NHL name. The guy scored 27 goals in one season for the Bruins.

- Overall his personal life was always private so seeing anything to do with Rose and his kids was new.

In the end I see Cherry with a slightly different light , Im not suprised with anything I was merely enlightened.

PC down ..again

I have no idea why it went down now. I dont overclock anymore , I dont mess around with anything anymore , I strictly just use it. I went through the long haul of trouble shoots , including tring different Ram , CPU , Video cards , audo cards , Hard drives , ...EVERYTHING. I figure it must be the chipset on the motherboard? I dont know. Im reinstalling my old motherbaord which I prefer anyways considering I paid almost $300 for it. Now this mother fucker wont install for some fucking reason.. the SATA drives that worked before now gets errors..

Now , Im installing XP HOme on a old IDE drive jst so I can install the drives onto a floppy and try installing PRO on my SATA.

Maybe its a blessing caz I was planning on getting a Win7 PC anyways. Lets see how this goes first.. its going to take all night , I wont finish until tomorrow at the earliest. I dont even know if this will work.

Plus if it does.. I have to reinstall EVERYTHING AGAIN!!! its such a kick in the nards. Just installing the Service Pack is a acidy leak out of the anus.

This is when I wish I lived in Texas and owned a semi automatic caz I would like to destroy some old junk right now in the backyard with some scorching bullets.

*UPDATE

its 48 hours later almost..monday and I finally got windows installed and everything seems to be ok.

I admittingly majorily fucked up on the install in that I totally forgot i had a faulty PCIE slot and was suppose to use slot 2.. I wasted a good 6 hours+ on that alone. Kicked myself in the nards.

But the originally Hard drive problem? I dont know , Im speculating I might've got the D-Dos Worm and destroyed my harddrive (not permanently) but I really dont know what went wrong.
