Okay, I am gonna launch this baby right now. The only things left to do are the "Photos" sections, the main one and the Mandy Moore one. I will get to it. Also, my music listing isn't quite complete, but after typing in over 300 cds, I don't feel like finishing it right now. I hope y'all like my site....look to expect posts at least every other day and movie and music reviews weekly (hopefully).

The official launch of brenthellickson.com is only a few days away. My content is pretty much set, just need to finish up some loose ends. I'm not sure exactly if I want to have everything completed. I have a lot of other things to do this week besides write HTML. I think the only thing left I will do is complete my CD listing. The photos section as well as the completed Mandy section will have to wait. It's ok. I think I have done a good job.

Polygamy aside, congratulations Salt Lake! You made the world proud. Y'all like my countdown to Athens in the lower-left corner? :)

I just got back from my grandparents in central Wisconsin....60 degrees and blue skies. Five hours later, central Minnesota: Old Man Winter has taken a massive crap.

Who is this Australian hottie??

I can't believe I am saying this, or even that I watched it, but I loved Moulin Rouge.

I went to Black Hawk Down with a couple friends this evening. I was kind of disappointed. It was a great movie, but from everything I heard about it, I was expecting something else. It started kind of slow, I will say that. I guess it was just way over-hyped. I will still buy it on DVD when it comes out though.

I have to say, Creed rocked hardcore last night. Apparently this weenie didn't think so. He tries to compare Creed to Pearl Jam, U2, and Bon Jovi. Excuse me, all of those bands have been around for a decade or more, give 'em time dude. I would post pictures from the show, but I decided not to bring my camera, which was a good thing because there was heavy petting going on before anyone could enter the gate. Anyways, just for the record, Creed is an amazing band.

I'm glad the whole Olympic fiasco is resolved. It all still sucks though, never should have happened.

I just purchased www.brenthellickson.com. Thanks O L Z pat!!!

I had so many "nice pants" comments today at work, I had to make sure I wasn't wearing Dockers.

Now my email program is putting missing children ads in it. Oh well, its still better than Outlook Express.

The cover of the Toronto Sun read in big bold letters this morning: ROBBED! If you watched the pairs skating final last night, you too would have felt robbed. Jamie Sale and David Pelletier skated flawless, but the Russians win again. Seems we have some shady judges. Slimy ba$tards.

I'm not gonna post for awhile. Await the launch of a new website within a couple months or so. Some say that patience is a virtue.

CosmoGIRL has a message from Mandy Moore to use on your answering machine. I was thinking, cool, someone else can tell my peeps to leave a message for me instead of them hearing my voice all the time. Well, I downloaded it, but she says something like "Sorry, but your CosmoGIRL can't come to the phone right now.....blah blah." That's just great, they don't think any guys want to put it on their phones? Actually, maybe its good I can't use it now, cause people would definately put me in the obsessed category....if they haven't already. Anyways, there is a new article and photo spread of the aforementioned woman in the new issue of the aforementioned periodical, and I wanna get it. Can 19 year old men buy CosmoGIRL? I might just have to get it off of eBay, to save myself the embarassment.

I got my mlife. Do you have yours?

I hesitate in posting this; but my oh my, what fun! [Disclaimer: Turds.]

I' didn't realize my underwear was on inside out until I got to work. Bummer.
