For the two of you that don't know, I got a new tattoo on Wednesday. In Edward's words it's "the tattoo I should have always had." It's of Superman, and my doppelgangster (that's Edward) got one of Ghost Rider. His has got to be the freakin' scariest tattoo I've ever seen. It's balls out bad "A", while mine is the raddest, baddest, roughest, toughest picture of Superman I've ever seen, and by far the best tattoo I've ever had. There will be pictures of the festivities up shortly, which I hope you will all enjoy. Also, on a related note, I'd like to especially thank Tara for saving the day and providing me with the necessary funds to pay for my tattoo when I discovered I had left my money at home like an idiot. She's super-cool so be nice to her the next time you see her!

In these troubled times I think it's important to remember what the real threat to us all is... SPACE ALIENS. Here's an Alien Survival Study Guide to help us all out.

To update a previous post, I'd like to thank Steve and Sam (though I'm not sure if it's the Sam I know) for checking out the latest pictures. All will be thanked.


That's pretty funny and it's courtesy of James Kolchalka!

Could this be the game to finally make me buy an "Xbob"?

To update the last post, I'd now also like to add Jack and Matt(mattmatt) to the list of people who have been thanked for checking out the latest addition to the photo gallery. I've got all of your backs kids, I'm not going to leave a single person unthanked.

To update that last post, I'd also now like to thank Rebecca and Megan for checking out the new pictures! You two also are great people whom are good and nice.

"Why the hell not?" is right!

Everyone really should try to give that "Somebody Else" song I mentioned a few days ago by Bleu a listen.. I mean, I'm listening to it right now.. it's good. You should listen to it.

Some good news about the Hulk flick.

Matt (or Mattmattmatt as you may call him) told me to check out the Human Torch dotcomic on this page and it was pretty cool, so I thought you might want to check it out as well.

Apparently, Joaquin Phoenix is going to be playing Johnny Cash in a movie based on his early years. For the time being the film is titled "Walk the Line."

I'd like to thank (in the order of viewing) Edward, Tara, Angela, Adam, Corey, Chris McCarver, Carole, "T-Bone", and Rachel for checking out the latest set of pictures I put up a few days ago. Just wanted to acknowledge you and let it be known that I appreciate you visiting the site.

Song number whatever is "She Will Be Loved" by Maroon 5. Is this over yet, Doug?
"I don't mind spendin' everyday, out on your corner in the pourin' rain, look for the girl with the broken smile, ask her if she wants to stay a while, and she will be loved..."

I feel like this is probably what we're a day or two away from. (I ended the sentence with a preposition, and I'm sorry. Steve sent me this link by the way.)

That picture of Superman on the front page was drawn by me, and I think it's probably the best picture of Superman I've ever drawn. Not saying that it's necessarily good or anything, but I definitely think it's the best I've done. Just thought I'd share that with you. I'll welcome any and all comments on the picture.. or on anything else I guess.

"This movie is really drawing me in ... into a deep well of despair." - Crow T. Robot, MST3K

"The First Steps of Our Tough Journey Together As Sin Brothers" - potential name for a band Edward and I would like to start some day... well, that's as accurate of a description for this as I can explain

Just added some new pictures.. see how you like them, won't you?

I just saw a video of Brock Lesnar doing the most impressive Shooting Star Press I've ever seen. I'm at a loss for words as to what this means for the state of the world in general. Monsters shouldn't be able to move like ballerinas or acrobats.

Don't even act like I don't need this.

The next song is "Somebody Else" by Bleu.

"L.A.P.D.: Let's all Perfect Dark" - Danny

Jack Black speaks and we listen.

So get this, I forgot to mention it earlier, but I'd like to thank you all for February of 2003. I say thank you, because though it was the shortest month of the year, it managed to shatter (and I do mean shatter, there was literally a mess to clean up... ok, not literally) the previous record for number of page hits in a month. It seems as though we're gaining more and more Friends of Hip Today and those friends seem to be telling other friends, who seem to be telling other friends, and so on and such and such. Anyway, the point is I really appreciate it, and I hope the trend of spreading the word about can continue, and I also hope that all of you know that you're always welcome to get in touch with me via any means necessary to let me know about something you think should be on here or that you'd like to see on here or that you want to alert the rest of the Hip Today audience to. That's poor grammar because I ended the sentence with a prepostion, but it's okay for me to do it since I know, and have acknowledged that fact.

Was the Apollo moon landing fake? (And why haven't we been back to the moon in 39 years?) An interesting website.

And for the other side of the argument, please feel free to give this the old once over.

And for a completely different argument about the moon, NASA, the government, and conspiracies involving the prior, go here.

What's Your Movie Dream Car?
by Auto Glass America

Get this, Pat just sent me this link, and what do you know, they're making a Cowboy Bebop movie. It hits theaters April 4, but as per usual with movies that are only in select cities, it won't be playing anywhere near me. Check out the site though and watch the trailer and see if it's maybe playing somewhere near you... then go see it and let me know how it was.

How are ya?

Sad, sad times, kids. Everyone's favorite neighbor, Mr. Rogers, has passed away after a battle with stomach cancer at the age of 74. I'm sure we'll all miss him greatly.

BREAKING NEWS!!
In "Oh, thank heavens!" news, Josh Hartnett will not be playing Superman! However, it's a bittersweet victory, because the announcement also says, "Warner (Bros.) has said they are not looking for someone that looks like Superman or even can act well; they're looking for someone to sign a three-picture deal." That's certainly a fine way to make a quality motion picture.

If there's a game I'm looking forward to, it's the new Megaman game that's coming out for the Gamecube. If there's a game I enjoy on a nostalgia level but am also disappointed with, it's Dragon's Lair 3D. The game succeeds in recapturing the look, sound, feel, and indeed, even the spirit of the original arcade classic. However, and I'd say most importantly, the thing it manages to recapture the best from the original is the impossibility... because it's impossible.

New comic today.

THQ is giving us all a chance to let our voices be heard and make the next WWE (or WWF if you prefer to still call it that) game for the Gamecube not blow. I'm going to have to request that you all go check it out and answer the questions wisely.

The Clerks IN-action figures. Before you can ask, yes, I will be buying all of these.

And now for some random quotes and such I had jotted down on random scraps of paper and napkins and placemats from IHOP and such...
"Chridward"- the name given to a fictional person made by combining Edward and myself into one person
"I'll take the James Brown's over the James Clown's." - Danny on his choice of bowling footwear
"Corey 'One Pin' Smithmier" - a nickname was assigned while bowling
