The Bottom Line: "Superb"

This season premier episode is a perfect example of how this show has originality in every episode, you never get that icky taste of returning ideas or anything. Sopranos have nothing on brotherhood. As the showtime advertises it does break tv rules. There is no shine in polish in this show its tries to be as nitty gritty real as possible in a mob infested community called the "hill". If you are not watching brotherhood you missing out on great television. TV that sopranos introduced and brotherhood blows to new level. The only warning is that it has some to "real" scenes.

The Bottom Line: "Perfect"

This show always brings a smile to me whether i'm happy or really sad. I enjoy this show mainly because of Josh's sarcasm. The show is about Drake & Josh (sound familiar?) and they go through a 1/2 hour worth of trouble or dealing with their younger sister Megan. Megan always tries to pull pranks on the two and they avoid them as much as possible. Josh works at "The Premiere" which is a movie theater and works under the management of Helen (the boss). Helen typically treats Josh like crap but, thats what makes the show funny. Drake is the out-going type of guy who gets all the girls and generally gives Josh a hard time and gets him into trouble. Josh is the kind of guy who does his homework and tries to ace his class. Some time into the series Josh hooked up with a girls named Mindy. Mindy always tries to beat Josh at everything up until they started going out. Josh prefers to stay with Mindy as oppose of drake going out with three girls in one day. Their parents are just there the keep them under control their names are Walter and Audrey. Walter is the weather man of the local news station and the family finds him kind of weird/awkward.

Sonic - The Return of Nazo Prologue

It has been a few months since Sonic and his friends have defeated the evil and vile Nazo and for the first time in a few months Sonic has been able to enjoy himself without any trouble from Dr. Robotnik or anything for that manner. But little known to Sonic and company that peace will be interrupted again by a familiar foe who is out for revenge not only against Sonic, but Tails, Knuckles and Shadow and all of humanity as well.

Deep underground in his base Dr. Robotnik is putting the finishing touches on his latest creation.

"Ah finally after months of cell reconstruction and studying Sonic and Shadow's battle data from their last fight I have finally made the ultimate weapon to finally get rid of that pesky hedgehog." Dr. Robotnik said to himself.

"After all the defeats at the hands of that hedgehog I finally will get my revenge." he said holding up a golden ring.

"After Sonic and Shadow's battle with that creature I was lucky to find one of Shadow's rings and using this I am able to recreate an exact copy of Shadow and he will be stronger than the original and thanks to my research with genetics this is an living copy no machine to order around and program as well." Robotnik said to himself laughing looking at his work.

Just then the alert in Robotnik's base started to go off.

"What the?" Robotnik said to himself.

"Did that hedgehog find my hidden base and now he's after me?" Robotnik though as he looked at the monitor. But to his surprise it was quiet outside and the alert came from the lab where the Shadow clone was at.

"How can this be?" Robotnik said.

"Has the clone woke up and broke free from it's tube?" he though to himself as he got in his Egg-O-Matic and sped off towards the lab.

Robotnik jumped out of the Egg-O-Matic and ran into the lab and was shocked by what had happened.

"What happened in here it looks like a bomb was set off." Robotnik said to himself as he stepped into the lab and saw all of his projects and inventions were destroyed by the blast.

"Where is that clone!?" Robotnik said to himself as he started to panic and looked all over the place to see if he could see the clone.

"Are you looking for me?" a voice said.

Robotnik turned around and in front of he stood a creature the size of Sonic and it had the look of Super Sonic except it was light blue and had red and blue sneakers on.

"What the?" Robotnik said to himself as he looked at the clone.

"So you're the one responsible for bring me back to life." the creature said.

"Wait a minute you don't look like a clone of Shadow." Robotnik said to the creature.

"That's because I am not Shadow I am Nazo!" he said.

"What! You're that creature Sonic and Shadow defeated there's no way you could have come back." Robotnik said with a gulp.

"Yes you made be right Doctor, but thanks to my quick thinking of putting some of my energy in one of my rings I was able to hold on to some of myself even if I'm not at full power and it was also because of your little cloning project as well that I am reborn again!" Nazo said laughing.

"No what have I done I recreated a monster and now the whole planet is going to suffer again.' Robotnik said as he fell to his knees.

"To show my thanks to you Doctor I'm leaving you with a little present." Nazo said as he began charge up an energy spear and then he chaos controlled himself out of Dr. Robotnik's base and chucked the energy spear at Robotnik's base and all Nazo could see was a bright flash of red light as Robotnik's base was destroyed and he grinned with a smile.

"Ha that was to easy." Nazo said to himself.

"And now to go find the chaos emeralds so I can regain my power and hopefully while I'm at it attract the attention of Sonic and his little pals again so I can extract my revenge on them as well." Nazo said laughing as he flew off towards Station Square.

What keeps me up at night...

So I'm definitely a night person in case you haven't seen that most of my posts have 3:00am in them. lol

But there's a lot of websites that keep me up at night so I decided to give them a proper shout out.

1) http://www.conversantlife.com/

This is an information portal site (aka it simply gathers certain types of information for you to read). Kinda like Digg and Gizmodo all rolled into one and focused on living out the Christian commission. It's very socially minded and I especially appreciate their original content blogs. Unfortunately they crank out some much information I end up trying to read more articles than is humanly possible. I'm not one to back down from a challenge. lol

2) http://www.hulu.com/

I doubt I even need to introduce this little beauty. Hopefully everyone already has integrated hulu into their lives and ditched their oldschool TVs like I have. I am, after all, a total trend setter, right?.... guys?

But seriously, I don't see how other companies can hold out and not join hulu at this point. Obviously there's licensing and money involved or else the world would be rainbows and butterflies. I'm still waiting for CBS and ABC to cave and add my favorites like Survivor, The Amazing Race and Samantha Who?.

3) http://my.yahoo.com/

I honestly can't think of a better homepage than my.yahoo.com and that's not because I don't know my options. It's just the most versitile and scalable site I've every used. Once you realize how powerful RSS feeds are you'll soon fall in love with yahoo ability to house all of your favorite sites right on the same page. And I didn't even mention their many different apps for integrating your email, calendar, events, toolbar, and IM.

4) http://www.myspace.com/

Ok, maybe not myspace exactly, more like the "music" aspect of myspace. If you haven't checked out all the new improvements they've made to their music player then you're missing out on a lot of great, free music. I've already listened to Beyonce's full cd about 100 times and now I'm moving on to Hillsong's newest, "This is Our God." And on top of all that you can string together various songs into a playlist of your favorite genres and much more. My personally fav includes Zoe Keating, Julia Kent, and some other obscure musicians.

5) http://www.gamespot.com/

Wow, I almost forgot about this place, even in the midst of posting a blog on the site. But let me be clear, I'm not trying to kiss up here. I'm just listing this site since I waste a majority of my precious midnight hours on the forums and unions. I blame the strangely addictive qualities of passive-aggressive debates and outrageously sarcastic yet witty comments of the teenage youth.

Other note worthy contenders include:
