New York, New York

Well I'm going on vacation, leaving tomorrow morning to New York then heading to Philadelphia later in the week. So that means the Ultimate Universe will not be seeing any action this week well there maybe some on Saturday but not guaranteed. There will be a lot of blogging when I return to base so make sure to check in next week. Have a good week while I'm gone.

Dying to Live Review

A decent zombie novel that you guys may want to look into is Dying To Live by Kim Paffenroth. So basically everything is there for this to be decent. Zombies, relationships, gore (One scene in particular is disturbing), groups of people trying to survive. The only problem with this book is that it's so short only about 190 pages and haven't found the $8 paperback for it either. I would rate this novel a 7.5 out of 10.

Halo: Fall of Reach Review

So with Halo: Reach coming out tomorrow I would like to discuss one of the halo novels. Halo: The Fall of Reach is the first book created for the haloverse. It is the prequel to the First Halo Game on Xbox. It tells the story of how Master Chief came to be. His training, first missions, how he became a leader, and of course how the colony of reach fell. For those of you that are interested in the haloverse I would recommend this book. I would also recommend this book to anyone who like futuristic or military entertainment. This book is good even if you aren't familiar with the halo series.

I'm telling you guys that this really is a great read. I know myself I just looked at these halo novels as another way for Microsoft to make money off of one of the most popular games of all time. Well while I was at Kent I had a roommate that had read the first three books in the halo series and told that they were good and I should look in to reading them. Now this really meant something to me cause I never saw this guy read anything so for him to say they were good forced me to check them out. On a side note my old roommate was also the kind of person that didn't like nothing. Food, movies, games, music that most people liked he didn't. Now back to the book. I'm going to give this book a 9 out of 10. Check it out.

Tankgirl: Skidmarks Review

As many of you know I love to read comics. One of my favorite comics is Tankgirl. Recently Tankgirl: Skidmarks came out as a graphic novel and let me tell you that it will confuse the shit out of you. Skidmarks is the kind of graphic novel were you say hey this thing sucks but later say this thing is amazing. It's the kind of comic were you don't know if it's good or bad. It's really up to the person who is reading it. But with that said I do recommend it to anyone who reads comics or likes weird entertainment.

So what is Skidmarks about? The story is that Tankgirl and her friends must enter the most dangerous race in the United States. Why you ask? Because their friend was in a skateboarding accident and they need money for her brain surgery. Skidmarks involves wacky characters and a beavis and butthead kind of humor. If you like a wild ride I recommend this comic.

Rating: 8.5

August Update

Yep it's time for the August Update actually delivered on time for the first time. So with the hall of fame game next weekend I just like to give a shot out to my favorite team the Tennessee Titans. Make me proud boys. That's RB Chris Johnson in the pic up there for those of you who didn't know. He just broke the most yards by a running back last season. He also rated 99 in Madden 2011.

Moving on to more important things this day is the first day that I will not be drinking pop or energy drinks for the month of August. I also will be working out about 15 times this month, the reason for this is that my pass for the rec expires on the 21st and I can't get it renewed until September. Another reason for this is that I will be going to New York and Philadelphia on the 22nd. Yes, I will be blogging about my trip. I also will be mediating everyday this month. To also let you know I weighed myself this morning and I weighed 179.0lb. I will weigh myself at the end of the month to see the effect of not drinking high sugar drinks and working out.

Next I want to talk about my goals. Back in July I did a post called Goals What Are They For? I told you that for May I had completed 32% and in June completed 48%. I also told you that I wanted to complete 75% for July. Well I came up short, I only completed 70%. This is a disappointment to me but also a success that I came close to obtaining the goal. For August I hope to achieve 80% of my goals. Wish me luck.

Other things are that yes I am working hard on my projects. Some of the upcoming blogs are Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Review, Warbreaker Review, Why Brandon Sanderson is becoming the best fantasy author?, Racism in America, Top Ten Fictional Characters, What blacks need to do to become creative in the arts again, Ninja Cowboy Viking Review, Recipes, New York Trip, Fashion, Taking Care of Yourself, and Patient Zero Review.

There you have it, the August Update.
