Thought of the day. (The post mentioned in "Rage")

In a sense we are all hungry and in need, but most of us don’t recognize it. With plenty to eat in the deep freeze, with a roof over our heads and a car in the garage, we assume that the empty feeling inside must be just a case of the blues that can be cured by a Florida vacation, a new TV, an extra drink before supper.
The poor, on the other hand, are under no such delusion. When Jesus says, “Come unto me all ye who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28), the poor stand a better chance than most of knowing what he’s talking about and knowing that he’s talking to them. In desperation they may even be willing to consider the possibility of accepting his offer. This is perhaps why Jesus on several occasions called them peculiarly blessed.

Batman Begins.

I saw Batman Begins last night and all I have to say is that movie was Awesome. The Batmobile wasn't even like a mix between a Corvette and an Hummer those cars aren't near nice enough this car was like a mix between a Fararie and a M1-A1 Abrams tank. The Characters were all perfectly cast and Christian Bale does a excellent job as the Dark Knight. Our villain The Scarecrow is terrifying and our hero's love interest is almost exactly opposite of Mary-Jane Watson from SpiderMan and that is not a bad thing. If you want a real review look elsewhere I am just here to tell you that it is a really good movie and as with Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith is worth the outrageous price of movie tickets to see it. Even though the fight sequences are a little choppy and you wish you could just back up a little bit to see what is going on.

Thank goodness for blogs!

Rage!

Die! Die! Die! I had a whole post typed up on blogger and what happens I hit the wrong key going for "Shift" and I delete EVERYTHING! ("Shoot a monkey" as one great mind once said.)
The intended post will be up soon and very soon.

Thoughts on Napoleon Dynamite

Napoleon Dynamite you've ruined my life! See! Right there under my nose in a protest against Napoleon Dynamite I quote it. Napoleon Dynamite has sunk into my sub-conscious in a most devious manner. I can no longer say "Yes" as an exclamation of victory without saying it slowly with a gentle pumping motion. The same goes for the word skills("Num-chuck skills, bow-fighting skills, computer hacking skills.") without thinking of those very lines. Gosh! See! There it is again; I didn't used to say gosh before but now (sob) it is a very evident part of my vocabulary. Encountered with a thorn bush today I found myself asking "Do the chickens have large talons?", I also cannot look at a llama without thinking "Tina you fat lard come get some dinner!". I didn't even like Napoleon Dynamite that much; not near as much as I liked Monty Python and the Holy Grail or The Princess Bride. In my own opinion the two more recently stated cult classics are much more intelligent comedies and a lot more fun than Napoleon Dynamite.

Sorry.

I haven't done anything on this blog for a super long time. "Why" you may ask has he/she/it not done anything for a really long time? Because my life has been cuckoo crazy for the past couple of weeks! that's why. The craziness of this last week was of epic proportions. Not that it wasn't fun it was just crazy that's all. Like really crazy. But I should be getting back into the swing of things in a couple of days.
PS: Did anybody read the articles I found interesting?



4:42 P.M. is a very happy minute.
