Get me out of here.

I want to start out by saying I am very thankful for my mom letting me stay here while our new place is becoming available, I glad she was here because we would have really been screwed if they were not when all this crap happened. She, at time has been great, really helpful to me, and all. That being said, and I don't want to seem ungrateful here but I need to get out of here. I try and keep to myself I'm hurting bad so I try not to get in the way. But I guess it wasn't good enough, she constantly throws it in my face that we are here, and just makes me feel like a burden. I wanted to get close with her again but it's not happening she is just, well.... mean. I love my mom and I always will, but come on. I want to go on but I don't want to make things worse which I'm am sure I already have with what I typed, you see I can't say anything without it becoming a big thing. It's just hard, I know it's not easy on her and Joe either but if that's the case don't ask us to come here, plain and simple. If she asked us here out of obligation well that's fine too but it doesn't give anyone the right be like this. I just want my own place again, that's the bottom line. Now I feel like an ass-hat. But when I started this blog I said I would be honest and open but I mean it's my mom and I love her very much, but when we are around each other too long it's like a bomb just waiting to go off, to be fair that's like that with my whole family, we are all insane when  together compared to just mildly nuts when apart.

Movie, Well lets do this, here is a random top ten from MSN for horror films lets post it and see what you guys think also I will do my own countdown for my top ten starting with number ten today, please post your top ten and lets make a real list of top ten best ever, ya game eye listeners.

Dave's number 10 - the George Romero genre defining film Night of the Living Dead, this includes both of the remakes because I am giving most credit to the idea of the film more than the films themselves in this case. Great movies, and hey it started something so great that not only is it still around today but it back on top of pop culture look at all the Zombie stuff that is big right now.

Here is MSM's Top Ten List enjoy.

10. "Eraserhead" (1977)
David Lynch's cult classic is the closest thing to being stuck in a nightmare: Not much makes sense, but you get the feeling that nothing is quite right. Lynch employs dinners that walk off the plate, eerie silences that become deafening and an infant that makes Rosemary's baby seem cute and cuddly. So chilling it's damn near unwatchable.

9. "The Exorcist" (1973)
The real terror of "The Exorcist" may not involve Satan and possession, but the helplessness of a parent trying to save a child. Of course, a ton of harrowing special effects and director William Friedkin's somber respect for the supernatural subject matter doesn't hurt either. It's horror for grown-ups.
8. "Halloween" (1978)
John Carpenter's film is blamed for the rash of slasher films that destroyed the genre in the '80s, but "Halloween" possesses a style and intensity that most of its copycats lack. From the opening sequence -- when we see through the eyes of little boy Michael Myers as he stalks and murders his sister -- onward, the film relies on suspense rather than sensationalism. Our fear is caused by what might happen rather than actual events, as Carpenter spends a good amount of time in darkness, making us see things that may or may not be there.
7. "Don't Look Now" (1973)
Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie head to Venice to forget the tragic accidental death of their child. However, it's impossible to forget when the dead child keeps reappearing. Nicolas Roeg's labyrinthine film is rich in dreamlike atmosphere and works on a purely psychological level: It disorients, frustrates and builds to a horrible climax, reminding that tragedy can never be forgotten ... and neither can this film.
6. "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (1974)
A group of annoying teens make a wrong turn on a road trip through Texas and encounter the most dysfunctional family imaginable. It's a teen exploitation flick shot like a documentary. Wonderfully grim, mean and inhumane, director Tobe Hooper's debut doesn't spill much blood, instead opting to giddily, relentlessly torture and chase its audience (much like Leatherface treats his victims) for 80 minutes. It feels like days.
5. "Nightmare on Elm Street" (1984)
Before dream-killer Freddy Krueger became a quipping pop-culture reference, he represented the most twisted monster unleashed on the public since Halloween's Michael Myers. Seeking vengeance by slicing and dicing the children of the parents who murdered him, Freddy scared the hell out of Cineplex audiences. His on-screen entrance remains terrifying, as does much of director Wes Craven's surreal, smart and shocking masterpiece.
4. "Suspiria" (1977)
"Suspiria" is a full-on sensory assault by Italian horror master Dario Argento, the cinematic equivalent of an anxiety attack. A poor American ballet student arrives in Europe and Argento berates her with weather, grisly murders, a possible coven of witches, his virtuosic camera, and possible the freakiest score ever conceived (by the director himself). The plot barely makes sense, so just let it terrorize you.
3. "Night of the Living Dead" (1968)
A group of kids get trapped inside a farm house by an endless stream of flesh-eating zombies. Sounds silly, but director George Romero takes his simple premise and redefines the genre with a shoestring budget. The amount of sadistic gore, the claustrophobic tension, the rising levels of hysteria and an increasingly deflated awareness that a happy ending is impossible make this a nasty classic. There is no hope here, only suffocating terror.
2. Repulsion (1965)
Director Roman Polanski did more horror afterward, with "Rosemary's Baby" and "The Tenant," but this -- a menacing, nightmarish profile of one woman's descent into madness -- may be his most realized effort. Catherine Denueve embodies sexual repression as a young woman left alone in her apartment -- and to her deluded fantasies -- for the weekend. The film is nearly silent, creating a mounting mood of dread. Try watching it alone with the lights off and see how long you last.

1. "Psycho" (1960)
Alfred Hitchcock's blueprint for contemporary horror: More than just a film, "Psycho" was a cultural slap in the face. Censors wanted to ban it, while screaming audiences couldn't get enough of it. Hitch employs all of his tricks -- shifting audience sympathies, killing off the main character halfway through the film and a ton of macabre humor -- but more importantly he makes the horror internal. Norman Bates isn't a monster in the classic sense; he suggests that the greatest evil can lurk beneath the quietest, most pleasant surface.

  1. G'day Dave. Sorry to hear things are not too good at that moment. I hope it all works out well for you. Love the list of movies. I have seen most of them. Can you tell me if there is a part in Suspiria that has a pair of eyes seemingly hanging in midair outside a window a few stories of the ground? Of course it is night time and the girl/woman is in the room and she sees them.I saw this in some scary movie a long time ago and it scared the bejesus out of me and Suspiria seems to ring a bell. Take care. Liz...
