Alcatraz Wallpaper

I'll be breaking this post down into a few different sections. The first will have general pictures from Alcatraz. Then I'll be posting pictures of some of the characters and actors/actresses. As I get more pictures from the individual cast members, I'll be sure to include those as photos and wallpapers.

Jorge Garcia, AKA Doctor Diego Soto
At first this was one of the main reasons I decided to watch the show (I think if it wasn't for J.J. Abrams, I probably shouldn't be any more inclined to trying out this show as I would about watching The New Housewives of New Jersey). Still, everybody loves Hugo! That's right, this is the very same fat guy from Lost! Now Alcatraz is that much more awesome.







Parminder Nagra, AKA Dr. Lucille Banerjee
Much to my surprise, not a lot of people seem to know much about Parminder Nagra. On the show, she plays the role of a mysterious agent, and also of an even more mysterious psychologist on the prison of Alcatraz.






Leon Rippy, AKA Dr. Milton Beauregard
This guy is kind of boring. Leon (the one on the right on the photo below) is the guy that tells Rebecca and Doc Soto what to do. Obviously he knows a lot more than he tells, but from episodes 4-6 we see that he doesn't really know a whole lot about all that's going on. Still, being kind of a boring actor, I think the show loses some by having him. At least by having him play the role of the key character that Leon Rippy is. I wish they had chosen someone else, but oh well...


Sarah Jones, AKA Rebecca Madsen
Agent Madsen is the main character in the story so far. It turns out that her grandfather was part of the people that used to be in Alcatraz, but I don't want to say too much more about it since the show is so new, and so few people have watched it. Again, I think the choice of actress here wasn't the best. But here's a few wallpapers of Sarah Jones for those of you out there who follow her work and admire what she does.











 J.J Abrams, Executive producer
He is the man. What more can I say?! Anyone who hasn't watched his presentation on TED should do so right now!



Jonny Coyne, AKA warden Edwin James
So far this is my favorite character out of all the people from Alcatraz. Such great acting, I love it.


Fox Alcatraz - the new LOST

For those of you that still miss the best television show of all times - LOST, and still cry whenever you hear the awesome soundtrack from it, you should be happy about the show that is now replacing it. That it, Alcatraz. The show is being produced by J.J. Abrams, who just so happens to be the guy that brought us LOST.


The basic story line of Alcatraz is pretty simple: these used to be this high-security prison on an island off the coast of San Francisco. This was, of course, way back in the 1960s and such. Only the worst of criminals ended up there. Eventually the prison was shutdown and all prisoners were transferred - except that that's not what happened. Somehow, in a style similar to LOST, all the people that used to be in that mysterious island were teleported through time (but not space), and now, in 2012, San Francisco homicide detective Rebecca Madsen (Sarah Jones) goes around with Hugo - who is now a PhD in both Criminal Justice and Civil War History, and who goes by the name of Doctor Diego Soto (Jorge Garcia) trying to find all the former prisoners that used to be in the island.

The prisoners are slowly showing up in 2012 for an unknown reason - and in an unexplained fashion. They haven't aged at all, but their old evil intentions are still with them.

To put it simply - this show is awesome! Definitely worth watching.

Always Kiss Me Goodnight Wallpapers Part 2

People have requested more wallpapers about kissing and loving. Don't you just love that?! I hope you enjoy these wallpapers, and I hope you get kissed goodnight tonight =) Share these wallpapers with a loved one so their desktop can also feel that you care about him.


Starting out, this wallpaper has got to be my current favorite. It reads, "I can't taste my lips. Could you do it for me?!" How awesome is that?! Anyone trying to get some loving please try that line and let me know how it works. Back in my day I'd try the line, "I'm sorry, I just lost my phone number. Can I have yours?!" Of course, that never really helped me to get kissed goodnight, but it did end my nights early every time. Maybe it was because of the shape of my lips, I don't know...


This second kiss me wallpaper is also pretty cool. Kissing and eating sweets, what can be better than that?! I don't think there's ever been a candy more popular, or that made more money than candy that mixes sugar and love. I love those kiss me candies shaped like hearts. A gift that never fails with your significant ones.


You know it! No wallpaper collection about love and kisses and XOXO is complete without a high definition picture of cute babies kissing. This silly kissing wallpaper is also one of my current favorites. Any young mother will have that on their desktop, on their iPhone, iPad, etc. And I don't blame them, either. While baby wallpapers aren't usually on my top favorite list, this particular one is pretty darn cute, I must say.


I know, animals don't really kiss. I don't think animals even feel love. Do they? Maybe this graphic is of dogs actually hating each other, not falling in love. Who knows... You can't argue, though, that those kissing puppies are pretty dog-on cute and romantic, no?! Even those of you out there who are cat lovers, be sure to try out this wallpaper sometime tonight or this week. Seriously...


And in case the previous kissing dogs scared you, then surely these harmless puppies will melt your heart away. I think the one on the left is a female, and the one on the right is a mellow male trying to play tough. I think that dog is whispering something romantic in that puppy's ear... something like, do you want to kiss me goodnight?

Comic Book Wallpapers

After being inspired by this awesome Comic Book Survey, I decided to post a few wallpapers for those of you out there who dig reading the comics. Enjoy!

Green Lantern - Gotta love those comic book logos

Comic Book Guy - The Simpsons. This is easily my favorite wallpaper of all. "Worst Wallpaper Ever!" Sometimes I wonder why they make the Comic Book Guy say that phrase for everything. Is that supposed to be the way comic book fans talk and criticize stuff? I think that's the worst character judgment ever!

The Flash - Personally, one of my favorite super heroes. I thought the times they showed him in Smallville were super awesome. Definitely one of the coolest characters from DC Comics. I do think Gardner Fox and Harry Lampert should be names every kid should learn in middle school.

Heroes - The latest TV show about super heroes. Not bad, although after season 1 the series started to suck. Hiro's plot got messed up, then Peter and the Petrelli's, followed by Suresh, and everyone else, just about. Still, a cool wallpaper for anyone who wants to save the world. Yatta!

Wonder Woman - one of the weirdest super heroes I know of.

Lex Luthor in this nice, but bloody wallpaper. Something about bald super heroes/villains...

Batman - the weakest of them all, yet the one making the most money with the recent super hero movies.

Green Lantern - again, a sweet, yet subtle wallpaper for the comic book lover.

Super Man - No super hero/comic book wallpaper collection can be complete without this classic scene. Rest in peace, Christopher Reeves!

2011 Women's Soccer World Cup



With the 2011 FIFA soccer world cup going on, even though it's the women's world cup, I just thought I'd post a few wallpapers to all of you soccer fans. While the majority of these wallpapers are from the 2011 Women's tournament, there are a few wallpapers of the two best soccer teams in the history of the game. These are the Brazilian soccer team, and Sao Paulo Futebol Clube, unarguably the best professional football team that ever played the sport.

If you don't think Brazil is going to win this year's women's FIFA soccer world cup, you should learn something about soccer then you probably know a lot about women's soccer. I hope you enjoy these awesome wallpapers of these strong women in the world of football. Also, I must say, while these deal with images only (no sound), just looking at these wallpapers I'm glad we're not talking about South Africa anymore, where they had that annoying vuvuzeta deal all day long.

Team USA Defeats Brazil - again

It was a strange game, I must say. Brazil played better, I thought, but they just couldn't get through. The US, while playing with only 10 players for most of the game, did manage to hold on, and take the game to penalty shots. There, as it is said in the world of soccer, it is all a bit lottery. You can't really predict who will win a penalty shootout like that. That's when details determine a game, more than any other time. Brazilian player Daiane missed her penalty shot, which eventually lead to the country's elimination from the tournament. But the question remains: Can the United States win the cup? If it depends on goalkeeper Hope Solo, I think the answer is obvious.


Hope Solo pictures

Considered one of the most beautiful players in all of soccer, North American goalkeeper Hope Solo has been the main reason behind her team's success. In the crucial game against Brazil, she blocked two penalty shots, one of which the referee decided to redo, which resulted in Brazil converting the shot.
