Earlier this morning I finally finished my eagerly anticipated download of Conan Obrien Cant Stop, a documentary about his cross country tour last year while he was publicly bared from appearing on TV, internet or radio by NBC. I was really excited about this when it aired at Sundance at the beginning of the year as Im personally a strong Conan fan and regularly watch the Conan show and listen to the team Coco podcast. Did this live up to the hype or did it fall short? Find out after the break.
I was so excited for this. So pumped to watch Conan and his crew travel across the country and experience so much of the amazingness discussed on the show and a lot of the inside jokes from the Team Coco podcast. Since he was fucked over by NBC Conan was bared from appearing on any TV, Radio or internet in return for a healthy sum of money for Conan and his loyal crew who just a year before had uprooted their lives from the west coast and traveled to the other side of the country to New York. Practically the only this conan could do was put on a live tour which is what he decided to do. Watching Conan push the button to tweet news of this tour and then seeing when almost half of the 40 odd tour sold out within hours.
Little snippits of his life like this are cool along with the main crew dealing with the billions of problems that came up during the tour. The problem is that this is all assembled with little overall flow and feels very put together at the last moment. The overall themes of Conan getting tired are not displayed artistically enough and there are few amazing moments.
I wish I could live his life. He really works non stop and he even says he cant stop and just cant stand still. Hes one of my favourite heros and i really respect him, im just concerned that one day he will stop and burn out. Id suggest if you can find it..watch it.

Want to hear a funny story? Well Ive been exploring other blogger platforms and attempted to transfer some of my posts over to my wifihighfive tumblr HERE and it just so happened that all my posts were to be re posted to twitter. So in the span of thirty seconds I sent out close to 200 tweets before twitter was like hmm whats going on here and closed the tweet door for me today. The final lesson is that you gotta watch out what yer doing.

So heres a concept that you need to try first before you understand it. First person tetris... what does it mean and how does it play? find out after the click on the LINK
Attention fellow bloggers. If you are also on the cool thing called Twitter we should do some link trading! Might I suggest that we combine forces to advertise and anyone who posts a link of one of my fabulous postings will get one of their posts linked on my twitter for all my 655 follows to take a look at... sounds like a great deal eh :P

Look at this ladies and gents we have a redesign on our hands. Take a look around and tell me what you think :D The only thing I can think of right at this moment is the fact that the in default text size is way too small even when I try to make it larger... another problem to overcome!

Im proud to announce that my search for a redesign for the wifihighfive has accelerated to the second phase and that it will soon be progressing to a point where you the reader will begin to notice changes to the site. I have for the last couple weeks been looking at alternatives to the current design and been searching for ways to improve the site and have taken many of my findings to a trusted source to work some internet magic on it.
Before I dive deep into site reconstruction I want to know what you the average reader wants more or less of in the version 2.0 of the site. cheers.

Well currently the second block of movies from tokens epic tales are being made into cinema gold by peter jackson and they just released their second behind the scenes short. this one has to deal with location shooting which actually made my eyes well with tears of joy at some of the visuals. These guys are on the very very example of what I want to be doing when I get into film and its kinda awe inspiring to see it.

For 30 years you have inspired me and pushed me to become my best. Although I realized I may never go down your path of adventure I have always had in my heart a dream that someday I might. Farewell old friend enjoy your retirement.
