Tickets and Such

I got my first ticket over the weekend. Yeah, I've been driving for a couple of years now and no ticket, that all changed Friday. Driving 95 on I-75 will get you pulled over it seems. That's "stupid fast" as my bro informed me. And several others... The nice officer thanked me for showing great politeness and yet still wrote 95/70 on the ticket. I guess that shows politeness only goes so far. I'm a little worried about saying any more so I guess I'll leave it at that. (grumble grumble grumble)

I saw the old movie Swingers yesterday. It's a comedy that came out in 1996 and it starred a very young Vince Vaughn, Jon Favreau, and Heather Graham makes a appearance toward the end. It's about a group of young struggling actors looking to help their friend (Favreau) get over a nasty breakup with a girl he was with for six years. Obviously, the guy's having a tough time. The movie is pretty darn funny the whole way through and I'd definitely recommend it if you haven't seen/heard of it. It's only an hour and a half.

From the movie:

This has to be one of the most painful scenes I've ever seen. (Favreau) is calling a girl he literally just met that night. The time is 2:35 am. He completely disregards the 2 day rule, the scene is really hard to watch, seriously. I watched it with a bunch of  friends and we were definitely squirming through it.

So, he offers to go out with her, completely breaks down, and then breaks up with her in less than 5 minutes. Ugh.


Barefoot Professor in Virginia Preaches Shoelessness from the Washington Post:

The man is a genius. It's time I can finally get out my tin foil hat again. Well, it's about time.


Music: Boxcar Racer - There Is

Hotel California

One of the greatest songs ever.

Ok, maybe not as good as Jitterbug, but pretty darn close.

Kidding! Just Kidding! You can put down the chair now.

Fun Fun Day

I had a fun day today, could you guess from my title? Don't be a smartass. So, I skipped class today, yeah I had an appointment with a foot doctor. I have - had an ingrown toe nail in my big toe that's been bugging me for a couple of months now so I had to go take care of that. I hate going to hospitals and things like that, and for a toe? I mean, that's embarrassing.

Well, she stuck, (jammed with evil intent?) a needle in my toe to numb it up, kind of ironic if you think about it. Then she got out a pair of scissors, slammed the door and yelled, 'your really in for it now!' Ok, so that last part didn't actually happen, but she did use scissors to cut it out, the nail was pretty big too. It was indeed sizeable. That's what she said.

Anyway, so my big toe was pretty numb for most of the day, it actually felt like it wasn't there, which was pretty weird, it's coming back now...

Besides that, not a whole lot to talk about, I saw Edge of Darkness. I know I know, crazy Mel Gibson, but by God the man is a good actor (and director!). The movie itself was so so. Meh. I'd write a little review but I just wrote the one for tomorrow and there's no way I'm writing another. So take that.

But a trailer

And Music: David Bowie - Space Oddity, not the biggest Bowie fan, but this is one of my favorite songs, kind of a downer though.

Your Horoscopes - Because I Do Care

• Aries You will be torn between two equally worthy suitors, one who is kind, selfless, outgoing, supportive, and loving, and one who is attractive.
• Taurus While it is true that all-knowing God sees every sparrow that falls, He finds it a lot more amusing to watch you tumble down the stairs a couple times a week.
• Gemini They say that knowing is half the battle, but they never talk about how the other half is tactical deployment and careful use of grenades.
• Cancer Your self-destructive behavior is beginning to get out of control, which is mostly notable due to how long you were able to control your behavior while destroying yourself.
• Leo You'll be pleased to find that science has long since achieved your dream of creating a smaller, cuddlier, domesticated version of the tiger.
• Virgo Scientists will announce the discovery of sunspots spelling out your name this week just to see if they can get you to stare at the sun all day.
• Libra The natives will shrink in terror when you demonstrate your lighter, as even they know that smoking is horrible for you.
• Scorpio Losing weight will improve your performance in all areas of life, but bolting on new shock absorbers is painful and counterproductive.
• Sagittarius You'll learn too late that while it may be easy and even justifiable to ridicule the French, they take their full-contact judo very seriously.
• Capricorn It turns out that it's neither the size of the wave nor the motion of the ocean that really matters, but the length and girth of your penis.
• Aquarius You'll realize too late that there's more to life than eating instant mashed potatoes and drinking root beer while the kiddie pool you're lying in slowly fills up with your excrement.
• Pisces There are some things that money can't buy. For instance, with your record, you're forbidden from getting close enough to purchase Girl Scout cookies.

Also, I rewatched the film Swordfish recently. It stars John Travolta, Hugh Jackman, and Halley Berry. It was released sometime in the 90's and in it Travolta plays a domestic terrorist intent on using any means necessary, ie killing Americans that get in his way, taking hostages, things like that to fight foreign terrorists. Jackman is brought in as the reluctant computer hacker that faces a strong moral dilemma whether to help him or not. Berry works with Travolta but also plays Jackman's love interest, kind of. Overall, it has a lot of action and keeps you watching. It's only about half an hour long and well worth your time. Much better the second time around.

Music - The All-American Rejects - Night Drive (Acoustic)

This Is Me Taking a Break

Ok, so this is me taking a break in between my second paper out of three for my political theories class. My first paper was a minimum of three pages and somehow I got thirteen. Don't even ask, I'm still not sure. Well, what happened over the weekend....

Hmm....

Nope. I can't think of anything...

Wings are rolling 2-0 too. Not interested? Well here are videos of two fights then! Ghal.

From the same game. A couple of days ago.

Datsyuk fight:

Brad Stuart:

Also New England quarterback almost got into a fight with just traded wide receiver Randy Moss. Brady dissed Moss' beard and Randy dissed Brady's hair, he said he looked like a girl. Ouch.

Here's the link:

One more thing on Brady. Several weeks ago he was involved in a car accident when a minivan smacked into him. Well, they are starting to release the pictures...

Last thing. A bunch of environmentalists in Britain put together a video to support reducing carbon emissions. They thought it was very funny. Well, it was banned. And here it is:

Music:

I find this to be a great driving song. Meant to be played loud. Very loud.  Also I haven't watched the video yet...so good luck with that.

I have a few papers to write this weekend, thanks Kos, so that is my weekend.

I always have videos, I know, but this is pretty funny - and for the most part true.

A mock-trailer:

Music: The Doors - People Are Strange
The quality isn't very good, stupid youtube.
