So I finally got back to keeping updates about my life again and for some psychological need of acceptance or recognition I've decided to continue posting
them up on a blogger like everybody else. And to those 4 people out there that read this on a regular basis, JD, Lizzy's Friends, Marty, and some girl in Oregon, you'll be happy to know that very soon, My new website, EDU-BOLICS, will become the new official website to pick up some of my written works.

So I've been very busy trying to get this derivative website up to sell some of my artwork. But I've also been working on my second book which I will brag is going to be one of the most comprehensive guides to Exercise Science and the art of getting in shape available on the market. This book
I personally feel can provide a great service to anyone who would be too frustrated
to have to figure out how to come up with a legitimate workout program for themselves that will actually work. It provides enough comprehensive illustrative workout programs that if you follow to the letter, no matter how out of shape or you are or how clueless you may be to being in tune with the art of physical movement and development, you're going to have excellent workout programs to follow that can help you for the rest of your life!
For those of us who didn't play for a division 1 school and get pampered by strength coaches or personal trainers who showed us the real secrets to getting in shape and improving
the physical abilities of human movement, this book is definitively for you ! And I'm not kidding either!! I'll vouch for it by saying every workout program I've ever learned in the last 10 years on exercise
science and as a NASM certified Trainer, and every little secret I've learned for
strengthening muscles from my experiences training various people will be
chronicled in this book! My point? Buy the book when it comes out -- or forever hold your peace and don't complain if you are tired, obese and out of shape after that!


So anyway, I spent the recent weekend watching the ALIEN movie series and as you can guess I'm quite hooked on it right now. I know these movies came out 15 years ago or so, so "big deal" you're thinking. Yeah, you're right! This entire post is not a "big deal". I'm just telling you what I did this weekend. It all started on Friday at "Finders Pub" when I went to attend the weekly tradition of meeting with a bunch of guys at Finders Pub in West Boylston. Somebody had mentioned the recent epidemic of the Swine Flu Virus as a topic of conversation, and how a recent radio MC
had gotten fired for slandering Mexicans as being the root of the problem about starting the swine flu. As racist as that may be, it made people talk about illegal aliens, which eventually in my mind reminded me of the movie ALIEN. And lo, when I got back home friday night, I discovered that my housemate Joe had the entire collection to the movies from ALIEN. The rest of the weekend, as we say, is history.
I spent all day Saturday with the Uptegrove Sisters watching ALIENS, and then last night after work I watched ALIEN 3. I even won 30 bucks this weekend when I bet Joe
that there was supposedly a 3rd race of Aliens in the ALIEN franchises that appeared in the film that no one remembers. Woke up this morning and watched ALIEN 4 and
and like someone needlessly obsessed with a topic and a free morning to kill, after a bowl of cereal decided to go online to learn more about ALIENS..




For some reason, there's dozens of essays on Sigourney Weaver's character "Ripley" from the movie series "Aliens" smeared all over the internet. For the sake of the common good, I've decided to post the best dozen links to various angles people can play out praising Ripley as the ultimate heroine in action movies. If you want to waste your entire after morning like I just did over a bowl of cereal, here is
some great literature concerning the absurd and over exaggerated sociological importance of Ripley in the grand scheme of things for you to ponder .. No, I couldn't make these hyperlinks! I suck at troubleshooting html.. Just read em!
