The Truth About This Blog

This is my blog there are many like it but this one is mine…. Hows it going people in internet land?  Apparently my blog has enjoyed the company of some new folks. They are about as welcome as the Black Plague. Simply, they do not understand what this blog is or at least a few of the posts are. The M. Castronova thing is a joke. I know what the rest of you are thinking. “How can anyone not understand that?”  Well There are people in this world who obviously don’t understand and start attacking. So thus they cannot take a joke or understand one such as the one that I have laid down. Others, if not most who read this blog understand the sheer ludicrousness of some of these posts and thus you are welcome to read. Even now I’m typing in character. Does this make sense to you? Did I lose you already or do I need to spell things out for you even more so. I regret to inform you that I will not sink my self lower and belittle my self or this blog as to baby you.  For those of you that understand the absurdity of this blog I hope you enjoy. For this blog is a place for absurdity  as well as the occasional serious discussions. The difference between the two are very apparent and one should not be confused with the other. The real person who writes on this and the character that has been created for sheer amusement are completely different.

Thank you.

Audacity

Hello everyone. Its been a while. I know you all missed my ramblings as much as I missed spewing my opinion and randomness on the internet. Why haven’t I been keeping up many of you may ask…. There just isn’t enough time in the day or the weeks for that matter….. Time has flown by so fast. I am almost entering the second month of Digital Cinematography, We have a movie in the works which should be nothing short of awesome. We got a fantastic Script, Crew and from what I hear an amazing cast… So as one of the directors You can imagine my excitement…. Relationship wise Im pretty happy… Alyssa has been hanging in there as best she can as I am… June will most definitely be an awesome month for us… Thank God we get some time together!  Also we been together for over a year now… which is also a pretty amazing thing….Having updated you guys on all that lets move along….. 

Over my time away I have seen  3 big summer films this year that are currently out them being ‘Star Trek’ ‘Angels and Demons’ and ‘Terminator: Salvation’.  The biggest surprise of all was Star Trek. The film could not have been better…. It was easily the most fun I have had at the movies in such a long time. The acting, direction, style, and sheer story were all absolutely captivating…  It set up a new wealth of possibilities for the franchise which now has life in it once again… I recommend this film to Trekers and non-trekers alike its just that good and accessible. Angels and Demons on the other hand although a slight improvement over  The Da Vinci Code was lacking in just about every area…. but mainly character and It was just stupid at parts I mean Honestly if your gonna blow up the Vatican just blow up the stinking vatican instead of going through all that stupid branding and such… I mean honestly…. and its a mulletless Tom Hanks… who wants that… I dont…. Moving on…. Terminator: Salvation…. This film was just piss poor. Characters were thin as tissue paper, the story just wound up being silly and…. also…. It should win the prize for the most obvious symbolism in a movie ever. I might as well been drinking because after watching that movie I must have lost at least a few brian cells… Aside from some of the action and trying to spot where Christian Bale decided to go off on his infamous rant… also if your down with seeing a CGI Arnold…. there isnt too many reasons…. to stick around for this one… One more thing…. I swore…. I mean I was dead certain… that the Terminators were destroyed by Molten Metal… I saw it happen… to newer models no less and yet in this movie… It just doesn’t work…. its just stupid…. also.. the highly advanced robots decided to install USB 2.0 ports into some models which is really convenient for when you wanna hack one and ride it…. Again… Ugh….  Terrible… 

Signing off for now

How I See It: Conservative Hypocrisy

Hypocrisy!!
I can’t believe it took me this long to realize the complete hypocrisy that is American politics. Pervious to the latest Administration I considered my self a die hard conservative and staunch supporter of the Republican Party. I thought it unfair the amount of scrutiny that Bush Administration was put through. The lack of respect was disturbing and I had the notion that the Right leaning Pundits were of a better nature than the left leaning ones, that they were not chastising the left for having an opinion or a view but for the disrespectful manner in which it was conveyed. I defended people such as Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hanity, and Glenn Beck. Why? because perceived that they would take a better road had the tables been turned. Through out the campaigns last year there was significant change. Hostility and ‘fear’ took over and the attacks became ruthless… something I expected from one side but not the other.

2008 An American Revolution took place… One party and one set of ideals were thrown out in exchange for something ‘different’. A truly Magnificent exchange of power all too seldom seen in the world today. Barriers were broken and hope and faith were restored in America. Did I agree with what happened did I vote for such a dramatic shift in government. No. I was against it. But its what happened and Its not the end of the world. I personally do not agree with a lot of things that have been going on during the new administration to deal with the current crisis and economic downfall. But I digress. The true test of character is not what happens when you get everything you want Its what happens when you get everything you don’t.

The Conservatives got just that and their character showed true for the first time in a long while. It was not a pretty site and It turned me off to political realm. It did one very important thing for me at my young age. It opened my eyes to the hypocrisy that is Politics. The same things Conservatives complained about and pulled people down for they began to do themselves!! Where is the moral center in that! What happened to ‘Respect the President’ maybe there should have been an Asterisk ‘Respect the President’ *As long as its a Republican….

I have never seen such fear within a group of people. They began preaching Doomsday. THE END OF AMERICAN VALUES….. THE END OF DEMOCRACY…. THE END OF CAPITALISM… and so on… It was hypocritical and I just felt embarrassed to have been associated and to have listened to their talk years prior. While I agree with the basic principles that conservatives believe I do not believe its right to try and undermine a nations decision. If there is something wrong and the people don’t like this direction we will choose a new one. Thats the beauty of this nation. The people can change things even when it seems the same old thing keeps happening. But In 8 years you will see another shift… a shift back to conservative values… but it wont happen unless the hypocrisy stops.

Conservatives need to become the better group and rise above the petty criticisms, the fear mongering and all of this disgustingly negative talk and bring a spirit of hope for something better because right now…. President Obama is what we have…and people are rooting for him… I am rooting for him to do well… our nation needs him to do well…. peoples lively hoods are depending on it.

Thank you,

Philosophy of the Month

As of last month I have decided to live a themed life and have that theme change each and every month until the day I die…. and or get bored of the whole thing. What are the benefits of such a plan? Well… one you can take up a cause and be an intricate part of it and make progress when in the following month you can just as easily take up the opposite cause and undo all you have done.  Its  simply one of the greatest things ever…

This month “Mike is Going Green” What does this entail…. and why would I or anyone go “Green”  First of all Its April…. Earth Day is this month and flowers are blooming and such. How does one go green.. You can simply pay people to plant trees… Buy carbon credits or go see the new disney movie “Earth”  which is a should prove to be a riveting docu-drama about animals on the this planet called “Earth”.  During the month I plan to paint myself green for one day.  Also to go green I shall be sleeping out doors like the gods of the earth have intended me to. Also to become one with nature I will for the month become a native american…and worship the gods of the fire, water, air and all the elements.  Take up the cause and become native american and become one with nature.

Peace,

M. Castronova

The Truth About The First Post

This is my first Blog…. Wow… I am behind the Internet Ball… but you know what…. better late than never. So I assume this is where I would post all my thoughts and feelings for the world to see or for me to just vent. Believe me I love to vent about my frustration with the world. First off… Allow me to Introduce myself…. I am Michael Emery Castronova…. Hold your comments on the middle name and feel free to call me “Castro”. I live in Flordia and will be for the next  year or so… Although Technically I was born in CT, I consider myself a New Jerseyian, I do miss it if not for my family, my friends, and of course Alyssa….  I am a Film Student on my way to being a Producer hopefully a successful one. Im currently working on Producing a short film with some friends at Full Sail University.

So This is me Blogging Its quite enjoyable. It’s kinda like writing a letter to the world in which no one honestly cares about but read it any so they can communicate about how much they don’t care about it .  I assume we all could chat about other things such as the latest and greatest in entertainment…. Family Guy was funny last night…. as was Jim Gaffigan… That man is pale…. I mean he must be Albino…. I could talk about Important Things such as….. The Economy, The political Climate of  Developing South-East Asia, Nuclear War and You, Jesus, How To Budget your Time so that You may Knit a Sweater Poorly. Things such as this…. Tell me What would you like to hear about….. 

Peace
