Barking at Strangers

My dog Ernie loves to bark at strangers. Afterwards he is so happy because he honestly believes that he scared them away. Maybe that's what I do. Bark at stangers and scare them away. But I'm not happy afterwards.

A believer Traveling on the Mystic River and Wimbeldon Grass

This week I had Mystic River and the Believer. Mystic River - disturbing but good. I can't remember if Sean Penn won an Oscar for his role in this movie. I'm not going to look it up. But feel free to do so if you want to check me. Maybe it's just me. I hated the Aviator...well, I can't say I hated it because I couldn't even finish the movie because I fell asleep every time. But, I don't understand how Kate B and Leonardo D won/received nominations. Case in point, I don't know wahy Sean Penn won an Oscar for this role (if he did).

The Believer - was okay. Not worth the rental. Ryan Gosling was in it. About a Neo Nazi Kid who grew up Jewish. A lot of truth. Maybe that's why I found it so disturbing.

Along with those two movies I've been addicted to the Wimbeldon Tournament. Maria Sharapova and Venus Williams is currently on the tube playing in the Semi Finals. Venus is up 5-2 in the 1st set. I can't believe Maria S has earned over 20 million dollars in endorsments alone. She totally shove Anna Kornakova off the map. Of course I don't even know if you can put them on the same level. Yes they were/are both the highest paid female athelete. But at least Maria has actually won tournaments. Anna Kornakova was a joke.

Bobby Darin Singing a Love Song for a Machinist

This week's Netflix reviews:
Beyond the Sea, The Machinist, and A Love Song for Bobby Long

Beyond the Sea was depressingly boring. I had to fast forward through most of it. Kevin Spacey...eh...I don't think I would agree with everyone saying that was his best performance. But I guess he did a good job portraying Bobby Darin. Kate Bosworth...I can't believe she's playing Lois Lane. What happened to Claire Daines?

The Machinist - poor Laurie (Christian Bale). He looked so awful. I could not recognize him. Weird movie but you have to give him credit for going to the extreme of starving himself for the part. He was literally a walking skeleton.

A Love Song for Bobby Long - I seriously thinking I'm secretly in love with Scarlett Johansson (along with Keri Russell). It made me cry. I remember trying to see this movie at the Angelika but they only had it playing for a day. Sad sad movie.

Don't waste 2 hours of your life watching Beyond the Sea. The Machinist worth the rent just to see Christian Bale (not for the yummy factor though). Add A Love Song for Bobby Long.

That's all for today. I have to take a shower because I stink.

Christian Bale is HOT!

Last night we went to Screen on the Green in Peidmont Park. They were showing the Birds. We got there late so we had horrible seats. We sat next to barking dogs, lost people waving their chair in need of locating their party, and love making lesbians. So with all the distractions going on, I couldn't quite enjoy the movie. So we decided to leave after about 30 minutes and go see Batman Begins.

Christian Bale is brutally Hot! The movie was great. "I give it a ten! A fucking ten!!" There is one scene where he's getting out of bed all shirtless and starts doing push ups! Yum-mmy! Katie Holmes still got on my nerves...well not so much towards her acting. It's her lips. If you pay attention to her lips, you'll notice that only one side of her mouth moves. She suffers from the Elvis Syndrome. Once you see this, you can't help but be bothered by it everytime she talks. Everyone is the movie was great. The story line was interesting. Although the girl sitting behind us kept on laughing at everything. I hate to see her during a comedy. Anyways, I strongly urge to go see Batman Begins.

Martha, Margaret, Rufus, 1/2 of a twin and Clemson?

So I just got back from the Rufus Wainwright concert held at the Botanical Gardens. It was amazing! He was amazing! The weather was perfect, we had our blankets and bottles of wine and we were good to go.

Let me actually step back a few weeks. Jamie and Kyle (my gay lover) went to see Snow Patrol in concert a few weeks ago. After the concert they grabbed me and we went down to the Earl and saw Martha Wainwright (Rufus's sister). She rocked out! She was awesome. I probably would go see her again. Not a big turn out but she still played like she was in front of millions.

Then there was Margaret...who I swear we have the same mother. She brought up a lot of political views and valid points. Seriously though...I never really thought of John Kerry being an Ent. But I guess the 2nd runner up for comedic perfomance goes to Darrell (Mike's younger brother who is 1/2 of a twin). We picked him up at 2 AM from his head banger EYE-HATE-GOD concert. He must have told us the same story 2 or 3 times. Said in a slurred tongue "The best vodka they had was Absolute Madrin and her name was Tina!" I wished I knew how to work Mike's camera phone...I totally would've video'd him and sent it to dear old mom and dad and possibly grandma.

And then there was Clemson. I had a really bad dream about Brad one night. So the next morning I woke up with a pain in my heart. I can't remember what I dreamed about but I was worried. So I high tailed it 2 hours east on 85 until I got to Hardin Hall. He was okay. Just alarmed and surprised that I was there to go to lunch with him. I got to see Jenny and we caught up on old times. I met her husband. And turns out that we know some of the same people...well actually just one. This guy Zack that went to school with us. He was his Best Man in their wedding.

Well, it's 12:30 AM and I'm going to crash in my bed and watch Love Song for Bobby Long.
GOODNIGHT!!!

Margaret Cho

Tonight is Margaret Cho and I cannot wait!
We had an extra ticket and Kyle is going to come with us.
Hopefully we won't waste 2 hours of his life.

Will talk about it more later!
Dancing Whore, I wish you could've made it!

Sam: "I haven't lied in like three days"

Largeman: "Is that true?"
Sam: "No"

So I've come to the conclusion that there are people in this world that you can trust and there are people in this world that you simply just can't. For the most part, those you can trust are your friends and those you can't are not. This is a valid assumption. So what happens when you have a friend that you can't trust. Do you break your friendship with this person? Or do you just not talk to them for several days and let it pass? What if you've let several things "pass" and you're just so sick and tired of the selfish bull shit that you just want to call him/her up and tell him/her that they're just a total selfish prick. That will never happen because I love my roommate too much. (No Jamie, you're not selfish or a prick)

Lesson's I've learned in life:

1.) When you go out with a group of friends, it's always nice to buy rounds of drinks. Usually this means everyone will buy a single round and wait their turn. I always to try to go first, not for any particular reason but just to make sure everyone has drink and is happy. When everyone has bought their round except for you and people are running out of drinks, this is usually your cue to buy the next round. You would think that people would know this but apparently not. You can't ask them to buy the next round. They should be gracious enough to offer, especially since they've drank for free all night. No. So what do you do? What can you do but just be utterly embarassed for your friend and hope that no one noticed, when in fact everyone has.

2.) If you go to a party with the guest of honor you shouldn't throw a bitch fest because you want to leave. You should be nice enough to tough it out and hope that your friend is having a great time. They are after all, the guest of honor. At these functions it is very important not to think about yourself because the party isn't for you, it's for them. You should always leave a party with people asking "Who was that, they're so funny and would love to see them again at the next function". Not "Who was that? They're a total prick". You can lose a lot of potenial friends this way. I strongly advise not to be a total jack ass and go with the flow. You never know, you may have a good time. Anyways, you should ALWAYS have a good time because you're there with your friend. In theory, you can be in blazes of Hell, but just as long as you have a friend there, you can always find something to laugh at. Like, look at that devil, she looks like she's on crack.

3.) You should never think that you're better than everyone else. Enough said. PERIOD. (You have to build a period...I'm mean a pyramid) These type of people you should stay clear of. Because when you start to get to know them, they're no better than everyone else. They're actually very shallow and selfish people with very little self confidence.

Okay...those are enough lessons for today. Until tomorrow, or next month whenever I feel like writing in my blog.

Oh and no, I'm not thinking of one person...or am I?? Everyone should realize that this weekend I've watched a lot of movies and may have come to the grips of reality that I have nothing better to write other than the fact that I scored over 100,000 pts in Yahoo Games.

You gotta love a man in pink! 

Too bad it rained that day. 

I've been cock blocked!

It's not really a quote from a movie but I imagine that it was said in at least one of Kevin Smith's films.

I was invited to Clemson by the Interns. They had an extra ticket to Clemson's Regional Baseball Tournment. I had plans on going, so I called Brad to let him know to get his couch ready for me. But unfortunately I couldn't find a pet sitter. David offered but I couldn't let him drive 35 minutes each way just to let my dog out to do his business. And I asked Rob but I guess he had plans as well. So, in the end I couldn't go. Instead I've been sitting in the house watching the College Softball Tournament and the French Open. And I'm going cross-eyed because I've discovered yahoo games and I've been addicted. I'm going to be a big fat ogre soon. Maybe it's the eggrolls...or the fact that I don't really have a job. Although I do have an interview with my old company next week. Hopefully my PetsMart job won't get in the way.

Blah blah blah...I have nothing really to say...I've just gotten shit because I haven't written in my blog in over a month.
