I’ve neglected the blog over the past month. I have simply had no time to really put any effort into a post. What I have been messing around with is Twitter. It is easy to update on twitter and not have to write out something long that may never be seen by anyone.

I want my funeral to be available On-Demand:

disturbing.

I was looking up the origin of names and decided to check out mine.

Nicholas Vincent Catalano

Nicholas: Greek meaning Victory Of The People
Vincent: Latin meaning Victory
Catalano: originally an adjective or derived substantive indicating something or someone Catalan

Turns out the Catalan have their own language. Doesn’t seem to have caught on much outside of Span/Italy (12.2 million people can understand it, 10 million can speak it.) But hey… gotta start somewhere.

I am something of a fan of The Simpsons… I have always found it entertaining, but not something I go out of my way to watch. In fact, I think the only TV show I watch every single episode of is South Park.

Anyways, The Simpsons is full of movie references. Just a ton. And this guy decided to catalog them all, putting the a picture of the Simpsons’ scene next to a picture of that movie’s scene.

Pretty cool.

Turns out that good old Scientology has quite the following in Hollywood.

Sure, there is John Travolta and Tom Cruise, but did you know that entertainment star and FORMER CONGRESSMAN Sonny Bono is a Scientologist? Woah!

The List (from cracked.com):

1. Jason Lee – My name is Earl, Kevin Smith Movies (how could Kevin allow this?)
2. Leah Remini – from The King of Queens
3. Beck – Yeah, seriously. Beck. Whodathunk? Well, evidently Beck didn’t.
4. Greta Van Susteren – CNN, FOX News legal analyst. Well, you do need to be batshit crazy to work at Fox
5. Danny Masterson – Hyde from That 70’s Show. He sucked in that show anyways.
6. Isaac Hayes – You should know this. Ex-South Park and that guy behind the Shaft theme song. In other news: Scientology has black members?
7. Nancy Cartwright – She voices Bart Simpson on The Simpsons. Bah
8. Sonny Bono – The breakup with Cher must have made him snap. And for extending copyright terms for The Walt Disney Company’s bottom line (aka Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act,) you are an idiot already. He is dead (tree accident evidently… hit him while he was on skis,) so I guess that ends that. Well, his wife is a congresswoman who may be a Scientologist
9. Jerry Seinfeld – I don’t know what show he could have possibly been on
10. Charles Manson – (see update below)

Update Update! – Turns out Manson did not join the church of Scientology. He took 150 hours of courses, then said it was too crazy for him. HAH
