home on the range


My days in Utah are dwindling and I cant help but think of the Golden State. From my humble beginnings as a would-be farmer's son in the rural community of Garden City Kansas, which I proudly hail from. But life is not complete even in this magnificent transition...because Im broke. College has raped me of all dignity and moneys that I might have accumulated. It has taken more than its share of my meaty corpus, chewed the fat, and then spit me out. If any of you have eaten sugar cane, the process is closely resembled. So now in the despair and grief, and the constant nightmares of classes missed or tests unprepared for, these things remain with me and dominate my thoughts and create a dry upheave of garbage when it comes to creativity. 
So I hope the sunshine and the higher gas prices and higher cost of living will restore the drive that fuels my body and my mind.
Official move-in date is June 6th.

IMDb is right once again


If you listen to what the viewers are saying about Indiana 4 without going to watch the film and discover for yourself the absolute geniosity of the film, then I pity you my friend. In fact I dont even know if we are really friends if you cant understand that Lucas hit it perfectly (except maybe the use of CGI instead of green screen). Many people have walked out of the film very disappointed, but my boy Ebert knows and appreciates a good film when he sees one.

I am really keeping this one short because I know there are those of you who havent seen it and dont want any sort of spoilers or hints...I know, Im the same way. I refused to watch any previews. I did read an interview with Lucas, which was a lesson in itself. The man is a leader and an inventor.

mexico or cuba

Who can save us now that the economy has turned so bad it is just despair? What happened to the greenback? I took a little trip to the coast this last weekend to look for apartments, and they are staying strong with their crazy ridiculous high prices. This is probably what it is like to live in a Brazil right before their economy crashed...retarded. Im hoping that this whole mess can be sorted out by Clinton '08.

Go Hil.

If you are a baby you shouldnt see this movie

Thats right. Im talking to all you babies out there who dont like movies that just blow you out of the theater because they are so entertaining and you walk out and you want to be Ironman, or if you are really a baby and maybe you stumbled onto this blog by pushing the right combination of random letters on your daddies computer or you might be a super baby who can read and right and has a solid understanding and a rationale and I.Q. well beyond normal baby means, but whatever the case may be that involves babies...you shouldnt see this movie.
I walked into the movie with a whole list of critics that are eating, sleeping, praying, and pooping Ironman's supercede-ance of all other comic book movies. I literally had printed off a list and was distributing them to the crowd so if anyone, as the credits rolled, thought the movie sucked, they would have cold hard proof that 1)They dont know anything about movies or what goes into a good movie, and 2)they are quite possibly the most retarded person in the theater, taking into account the actual downies that were cheering right along with me. It got rave reviews so I was going in with a high bar (not literally).
No spoilers in this review kids, but I will say that Jeff Bridges was menacingly good as a villian, and RDJ kicked my balls up through my throat and now I talk like a girl. The acting was superb, of course, and I knew it would be, but one character I was really disappointed to see die was the doctor (Yinsen played by Shaun Toub) who saved Stark's life.
The one thing that really enraptured me was how insanely smart Tony Stark is, and how insanely awesome his computer system is. He is obviously still the head designer for Stark Enterprises and its even brought up later how awesome he really is when Obadiah is yelling at one of the scientists who has continuously failed to create the "mini arc-reactor" even with all the money and equipment necessary when Stark did it in a cave with spare parts. What does the scientist say? "Im not Tony Stark."
Im gonna say it...Hes just super badass.
The visual effects had a couple issues, but nothing really to get all upset about. Oh and I hated the post-credits scene with Samuel L. Jackson. It is exciting to think that there is definitely a sequel coming, but RDJ just does it for me. I like his style, and I dont want to see him take a backseat to Jessica Alba or Eric Bana or Edward Norton. I know that Marvel announced Ironman 2, Captain America, Thor, and The Avengers, but I thought Samuel Jackson was back as the Glassman.
Its only about 10 seconds and it really isnt worth seeing because it leaves Jackson's overacting bad taste in your mouth.

all fed up

I notice that people get angry a lot. It is probably the number one epidemic in the nation and it is very contagious.
People get angry when they cant sleep, or when they oversleep, or when the internet doesnt work, or when a call drops, or when someone talks too long, or when they cant get seated, or when the food takes too long, or when they wait in line at the DMV, or when someone cuts in line, or when the TV breaks, or when someone yells, or when the weather changes, or when the weatherman is wrong, or when their check bounces, or when their card is denied, or when someone splashes them, or when someone passes them, or when they miscommunicate, or when someone is too honest, or when someone dies, or when they crash, or when they trip, or when they miss, or when their favorite show is interrupted, or when their team loses, or when they win, or when they have a bad hair day, or when the person doesnt call back, or when the person picks up, or when the screen goes black, or whenever they cant control the situation. 
I think those are the times when we shouldnt be mad...because if we cant do anything about it, why bother with it. But people like to be angry. It is an emotion that makes you feel alive. Well so does joy. So does fear. So does love. So does relief. And so does using the bathroom (number 1 and 2).

Boooring

What a let down the year has been in movies so far. Although I have not seen Ironman yet, I have had no real inspirations. I saw Deception and it was pretty lame. Not nearly enough boobs for being a sex-club movie, and there is some of the gayest dialogue I have ever heard. 

I dont really know whats come out on video, but I am starving for some creativity. I pushed through the last semester of school with flying colors because there were no good movies to distract me every week. Please someone send me some ideas of rentals.
