Insurance for the Auto

I don't have a car, so I don't have insurance for that, but when I do get a car I'll definitely be looking for very cheap auto insurance, a least one that will cover the other person. Though I would still be inclined to just put away money into a savings account, that way if nothing ever happens I'll still have all that money waiting for me when I'm old and gray, though it would suck if something happens pretty early on, I'd be out of pocket, I really should just be saving.

Health Savings

I don't have health insurance, instead I'd go for something similar to a health savings account. I would pick a high interest savings account with monthly bonuses for regular deposits, that way all the money is mine, sure the cost of health care could potentially be higher than what I've saved, but with our health care system down here, I'd think that pretty unlikely.

Macgruber Trailer

Looks pretty funny.

Blood Into Wine Trailer

Looks like an interesting documentary/mockumentary? about front man of Tool Maynard James Keenan and his wine making efforts.

Disabilty Insurance

Down here we pay levies encase we cannot work due to disability or illness, just the same as insurance I guess, but it's government run I think, kind of. I've had to take it a few times, see the doctor, get fixed and the doctor will arrange for time off work and compensation for that time off as well as getting themselves paid. I don't have to pay a thing as well as getting some paid time off work, it's great, apart from the injuries that got me there in the first place.

Legion Trailer

Looks pretty interesting, reminds me of the feel of The Prophecy and Phantasm movies.

Electrical Gear

I've been getting a little bit into playing around with electrical supplies lately, I'm mainly trying to make props for some videos I have in mind, some practical effects. Making your own stuff turns out is very affordable, most components cost about a dollar and most of the things I've built cost around 10 bucks to make, though I fully doubt I could make a compressed air machine, though they're pretty cheap as well.

Now all I need to know is where to get corn syrup, to make me some fake blood. In all my life I've never see a bottle of the stuff down here, makes me wonder if it's not a common thing down here.

Karate Kid Remake Trailer

Looks the way a Karate Kid movie should be, the kids pretty young though.

Affordable Health Insurance

Never really thought about low cost health insurance before, I don't think it's a really big deal down here, as health care is free for the most part, there are small fees though. The only problem with it being free a cheap is waiting lists, so insurance would come in handy if you wanted to go the private route and get your operation fast. But with the free health care, if it is an emergency, you will get in there quick smart.

Kick Ass Trailer

Looks like a cool superhero movie.

Vitamins for Women

So I'm not a woman and I don't take vitamins, so I probably wouldn't know much about women vitamins, if that makes any sense. Though my mom over the last few years has been having little problems here and there, most probably due to just getting older and she's been right into trying out remedies, just recently shes found a few items that are consistently helping with her ailments and she loves to let everyone know about them, one being acidophilus.

Book of Eli Trailer

Another post apocalyptic movie that looks a lot less of a downer than the road.

Arthritis Treatments

Seen a lot of young artist with joint problems in my time, which usually means they're making the big bucks now and can afford to hire an army of helpers. Myself I'd rather not have sore hands, it would make things horrible when I'm old and gray. Though there are a lot of advertisements for natural arthritis treatment down here, usually very local ingredients and what not and people swear by them.

The Road Trailer

Looks interesting, realistic, brutally dark for a post apocalyptic world, don't it portrayed like this very often.

Face Moisturizer

Speaking of face moisturizers, haven't actually ever tried them, I'm miles away from being a metro-sexual, but lately I have been noticing my skin being a little rough and flaky. Maybe it's time I started taking a little bit more care of my skin or maybe not, seeing that I'm 30 and still look like and 18 year old, but that could be due to the way I dress and my none barber shop hair style.

Cop Out Trailer

I love Kevin Smith's movies, but I gotta say I haven't been satisfied by anything of his since Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Cop Out is his latest upcoming picture and judging by the trailer it looks miles different than anything he's previously done, it's also his first feature directing other peoples material.

Best Wrinkle Cream

So I just recently turned 30 years of age, I didn't think it would bother me, getting older never usually does for me, but for some reason I got a little panicked I guess, maybe it was the fact of leaving my twenties behind or that I haven't achieved what I want to achieve, or maybe it's looking in the mirror and noticing myself wrinkling up, maybe I need to moisturize more often, but I don't really know what the best eye cream for wrinkles is.

Other than that, a day later all those feelings are gone.

Season of the Witch Trailer

Looks interesting, kind of gives me the same feeling The 13th Warrior gave me, love that movie, so here's hoping.

Point of Sale Systems

When ever I buy something I'm always examining the checkouts, some POS systems seem more efficient than others, there's your hands free scanners, quickest I think, then your hand held and the slowest of the lot the manual input.

Had quite a few mistakes made when buying something at a shop that has manual input, usually unbelievably large discounts, complete mistake and I go back and set it straight.

Hot Tub Time Machine Trailer

Looking forward to this one, grew up in the 80s and I love it.

Nascar Jackets

I'm quite a big jacket wearer, I have a jacket for every kind of situation, got a couple of what I like to call summer jackets, very light and good to wear of a hot summers day. But I don't really have any themed ones, for example like the Nascar jackets, some of those would be pretty cool to own.

Though I haven't really ever watched Nascar before, seen a few crash highlights here and there, seems like an extreme motor sport, I get more into drag racing more than anything.

Second Hand Fitness Equipment

I have my fair share of fitness equipment laying around home, payed a pretty penny for it to, I think if I were to ever buy anymore fitness equipment it would be second hand. There's just so much out there and it usually goes for dirt cheap prices.

I think there's so much fitness equipment out there because it's marketed to as a easy way to lose weight and get fit, makes us think that if we have it it will be done, by if you don't have the key element, motivation, nothing in the world is going to work.

Drag Me To Hell Trailer

It was OK, at times it seemed old Raimi wanted to bust it out old school, we get glimpses of what made the Evil Dead movies great and by the end of it I was left thinking was this movie in aid of establishing a new Ash type character.

Medical Travel

I haven't been in hospital for anything substantial in years, last time was when I was about 8 for a hernia operation. The hospital was about 40 minutes from where I live so it was kind of an effort for people to come and visit me, I was actually pretty lonely there. I can;t even imagine what some in rural areas have to go through to get to hospital, I don't even know if medical travel is available down here.

Though I have heard stories of patients traveling half across the country to receive regular medical help, they have to have some kind of benefit don't they.

Last House on the Left Trailer (Remake)

Looks pretty interesting, it's a remake of an old I guess exploitation flick which looks like something you'd find on a small regional television station late at night.

VAIO Computers

I've been looking at getting a new computer over the last few months, mainly at laptops, the problem is the pre-assembled offerings of the main retailers in my area are either to weak and cheap or way to expensive and just what I want. So I've been looking at the brands like the Sony VAIO and what not.

I just need something with a lot of grunt for video editing. It seems the laptops available have more grunt than the desktops I've seen, but I'm just not sure if that's the case. Anyway I go through computers every 3 to 4 years, so I'm probably going to find out the hard way sooner than later.

Rob Zombie's Halloween 2 Trailer

Just saw Rob Zombie's Halloween 2 and I don't think it was as bad as every one's been saying, but it wasn't that good either. I think what made it unsatisfying for me was that Michael Myers seemed like a sideline event and that he was stripped of his iconic features.

Fine Cigars

So I've been known to smoke a cigar or two from time to time, I'm really no expert on them at all, I usually go for the biggest they have, so I have no idea if I've smoked a Rocky Patel cigars before.

Funny story, when my niece was born me and my brother went to a local cigar shop to get a celebratory cigar, the owner of the shop was less enthusiastic, he thought we were buying them for other reasons, so we set him straight and you should have seen the smile on his face, followed by fifteen minutes of cigar smelling and discussion.

We must have been the only people in a long time to buy them for their intended use.

Cannibal Holocaust Trailer

Brutal old exploitation film, not for the faint of heart at all.
