I am sick of following my dreams, I am just gonna ask 'em where they're going, and meet 'e there. Golf, I like golf. Volleyball, basketball. I am almost a complete home theater idiot. I have a pretty extensive movie collection. I am an amateur cryptologist, a 3rd degree fiddle thrower, and a lawn dart target. I like to catch dyslexic ducks and help them to stop yelling kcauq. It is an important cause. If you want to volunteer to help me with this, call me at (888)Giv a duck a chance. Midget tossing. Midget catching sucks. Ever caught a little elbow to the nose? A tiny knee to the groin. Sucks. I figure if you have read this far, you are nearly as hopeless as I, and deserve whatever you get.
There is a small percentage of people that I have any interest whatsoever in meeting. It is possible that you are one of them, but due to the fact that I only want to meet a small percentage of the population of the world, it is unlikely. Do you think that you belong to a small percentage of the population? I do. I would like to meet my grandfather. I would like to talk with my mom a few more times. Every time I hear "Dance With My Father" by Luther Vandross I think about my mom and dad. I would like to meet them as a young couple, when they first fell in love. That is the parents I would like to remember. I would like to meet the "what if" me. I may be pretty happy with where I am if I met that guy. He may be a total douche. I guess we're all douches to somebody, if I had it my way, I may be a douche to me, even more so than in actuality...interesting to think about.
Snatch. The best. hands down. Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrells is also fantastic. I am dwon with all Quentin Tarantino's flicks, and like the occassional Epic film. Dogma. All the Muppet movies. The Departed, it was unbelievably good, really-doe. Old what's his name was a stud, surprisingly. Man on Fire. Sideways was the worst movie I have ever seen, followed closely by Life Aquatic and Punch Drunk Love. I appreciate the artist going out on a limb for those movies, but the limb broke, and the tree was positioned directly over movie hell.
The Unit is my favorite. Heroes, Squidbillies, Friday Night Lights, Future Weapons, Mythbusters, Boston Legal, House, Boondocks, Eureka, I looked forward to every Wenesday night for Blade, but the F-ers went and cancelled it. I dig Life, the new cop show. Homey is an ex con cop that was wrongly accused of murder and goes around solving cases and hunting the schmucks that framed him. He's a buddhist, and he abhorrs violence, however when he runs into dudes that he concludes framed him, he gets his kill on. I also really like Saving Grace. She is a ding-a-ling hound that is being recrruited by God, in a less than subtle fashion. I appreciate her struggles, although if you've seen or heard of the show, you would know why I would dislike her, regardless of her and my similarities spiritually speaking. (I am not a ding-a-ling fiend, and I have never seen an angel) And so on.
I am reading Demon Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark. I love Carl Sagan, his show Cosmos is one of the most eye opening shows ever. He had the rare abiltiy to be deleriously smart and communicative. I am also trying to read "A Briefer History in Time" by Stephen Hawking. It is quite simple to understand, right up to the beginning, then it words its way right over my head. Friggin Physicist. Tim Dorsey is an absolute riot, but not like a Somalia gimme some food riot, a genuine American riot with teargas and fired judges. On a different note, Vince Flynn and Joel Rosenberg are both edge of your rocking chair reading.
Heroes is a show on TV. Real life heroes are never heard of. People that do what they know they cant do, simply because they know they have to, those are heroes. Those "warmongers" that join the army/navy/marines/air force that see their friends die, yet go to work and do their job the next day because it has to be done, those are heroes (please understand the sarcasm in the second word of the sentence). People that know they can't make ends meet, yet try their hearts out (my dad initially), those are heroes. I admire parts of people. Some people's honesty, some people's compassion. There is almost no one that I have idolized that hasn't disappointed me at some point. I have to learn to admire people without letting their weaknesses disgust me. My weaknesses disgust me, to no end.
