I'm not for either...

of our candidates. I am sick and tired of hearing some people act like Obama is going to save our way of life. Reality check people...it's going to get a LOT worse before it even thinks about getting better.

I haven't done a whole lot of digging on either candidate and I am not sure I'll be voting for either of them (Mickey Mouse would be better in my opinion).

Obama says we need change but doesn't really explain how that change is going to happen (see link above to see how much CHANGE is going to cost us).

McCain keeps saying he's been seasoned for the job with the tough job he's done in Washington. Yet he supports what we are doing in Iraq. Sorry, McCain we shouldn't be trying to force democracy down people's throat...no matter how much we want to. Vietnam didn't work and this won't either.

We started the mess in Iraq, we just need to stay there long enough to get something in place so we can leave and it not be taken over by radicals. I don't even care if it's a democracy or not.

I am sick of politics, both our candidates and the downfall of our great country because a few people are just THAT stupid.

The president can't to anything all by himself, he's needs other people in Washington and Washington has sold us down river without a paddle...

Animal the Speedster?

My wife made me laugh a bunch this morning by forwarding on this blog about a crazy muppet...

A return to form...

I can remember being little and watching Clint Eastwood movies. KELLY'S HEROES, numerous westerns, the DIRTY HARRY movies and one of my personal favorites of his HEARTBREAK RIDGE.

He has only gotten better (as a director and actor) since I've grown into a real movie fan. LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA is one of the best war movies...one of the best MOVIES period.

I had heard his latest movie was being kept under close wraps, that is until the trailer came out in the last couple of days.

It looks like old Clint is back...

Enjoy!

Anyone know...

of a good girl recording artist?

I would like to pick up some music by a woman. I would prefer that the sound was more tame than balls to the wall.

I enjoy Michelle Branch for her voice not necessarily for her sound. I want to hear something that is almost relaxing.

John Peddie or Troy Myers are the ones I expect to chime in first, but I want everyone's opinion.

Thanks!

Congratulations...

to my brother David and his wife Jennifer.

It has been 15 years ago today, that they took their vows (while I was in Washington D.C., still can't say sorry enough...but I did get to meet Sean Astin :-D and I was back in time for the reception).

Congratulations, you are an inspiration.

Hey...at least Mike didn't do what the guy below this post did...

Watch...

laugh and enjoy...and then thank me later(or thank my wife as she was the one who sent this to me). :-D

Movies...

that I have seen recently!


I finally found the time to watch THE KINGDOM. The movie stars Jamie Foxx and was directed by Peter Berg. Interesting movie that was saved by it's action sequences. I really enjoyed Ridley Scott's directing in BLACK HAWK DOWN and this movie reminded me of that one, action wise. The story is a little on the slow side but makes up for it anytime there is gun play (very realistic - or so it seemed to me) or explosions.


2.5 stars out of five

Then I think I made a mistake. I watched BODY OF LIES the same night as THE KINGDOM (both take place in the Middle East). This movie was also really interesting, as does the previous movie, it shows a little of both sides of the story. Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe are fantastic and the directing is top notch (another movie by Ridley Scott). I just wish they would have edited it down a bit. I don't need to watch people drive EVERYWHERE.



2.5 stars out of five

Then comes one of those films that is fun, gross and sweet all within 90 minutes. NICK AND NORAH'S INFINITE PLAYLIST is that movie. I do wonder what this movie would have been like without Michael Cera. He was good in it, but I think this movie would have found it's audience if it were in the art circuit. The movie is a lot of fun as you watch the main characters interact. This is going to be like EMPIRE RECORDS and a whole bunch of movie that are fun and involve a lot of music, it's going to live through DVD and be a cult smash. My favorite thing about this movie is how tastefully they handle the only "sex scene" in the movie. It keeps with the innocence of the film.

3.5 out of five

If you are looking for a movie to watch I recommend all three of these. KINGDOM for action, BODY for drama and NICK AND NORAH'S for comedy.

Enjoy!

I haven't watched SNL for a while...

but maybe I should start again. Enjoy the following videos, I know I did:
