Movies I liked: Idiocracy & War Inc.

Yes, Yes, I know both these movies are rated R mainly for language I didn't see anything else they could be R for. But if these movies are ever on Comedy Central or any other station you should sit and watch them both of them have some good actors. I'll start off with Idiocracy I watched this one a long time ago when I still had a blockbuster account. The one reason I love this movie is because it is some what true to what is happening in the world now a days, which is all the well mannered safisticated people are infertile and can't produce offspring and all the dumb hill billies who can't count to 5 are producing like crazy. It goes into the future of how the world will be a huge dump site and everyone there has no I.Q what so ever, oh and Cost Co. basically becomes its own town. Heres an example of how dumb the people are in the future. There are no more farms because all the crops that they usually grow are dead because someone read that Gatorade has electrolytes in it and thats what plants need so they stopped giving the plants water and started giving them gatorade or something of the rade genre. Anyways I loved this movie because it was just funny to watch.

Next movie War Inc. its of the same genre just a funny witty movie about how the world will be in the future this one is different though instead of a world run by stupid people its how America came and invade a country called Turcistan or something like that blew the city to rubble and then built it up but didn't leave, instead they hired a company called tamerlane
which is like a private war contractor or something and now the city is run by americans but one of the many reasons I liked it was because the whole city had turned commerialized even the tanks that drove around constantly had advertisements hanging down from the sides of them. This one is a little harder to explain but still is a good one to watch if it is ever on and you happen to flip to it.

What A Day



Well I must say Labor day was some adventure. Stephanie and I went and did this little scavenger hunt in the newspaper called Itty Bitty Salt Lake City. The whole point is to look at these pictures of structures around Salt lake that are cropped so you only see a portion of the photograph, easier said than done. We started about 1 in the afternoon and took breaks every once and awhile because I'm out of shape and am too tired to do keep walking. The little things we were looking for where spread out in a 20 block grid some of them were big and easy to see, some of them were tiny little things that needed Stephanies super eyes to see. This was our first time doing it but we had a blasty blast doing it and hope to finish it the prize doesnt matter to us it just the fun of trying to find things throughout Salt Lake. We met a couple that had been doing it for 11 years and only had won once but they enjoy doing it everytime. I think doing it with a group kinda like a group date or a family activity is a great idea.

Looks Like It Came From a Horror Movie




Okay so Saturday was my day to be Mr. Productive, I decide that I needed fix everything that is broken in my bathroom mainly my bathtub drain and the sink drain. With the help of my dad we started with the sink drain because the bathroom drain was still backed up with water. So we removed the P-trap a whole bunch of black goop dropped into the bucket. Also it smelled really really bad. Then we unhooked the clog and it was also covered in the black goop. So I spent a good portion of the time cleaning the clog outside. Then I cleaned the P trap of this oatmeal stuff. It reminded me of something out of a horror movie. Then we unclogged the bathtub drain from the same thing. Then I decided to clean the disgustion filthy bathroom for the fun of it. In the end my bathroom had some gross moldy stuff in its drain apparently its my fathers fault for forgetting a few minor details while building the bathroom.

On a side note I have reason to believe that my sister Liz has a plot to try and kill me and make it look like an accident. Because the other part of my productive day was fixing the falling ceiling fan in my bedroom. At first I assumed it was my family stomping up strairs trying to get my attention. But when we were taking it apart my dad let me know that wasnt the reason it was falling out just faulty parts which wasn't fun to fix it. Then while we putting back up we noticed the bookshelf was looking like its about to break and fall on my face. And I already knew about the bookshelf before the ceiling fan but now that I put all the things together I am thinking that my sister is trying to kill me. But she can't do it!

Phillipe V. 2.0


Okay so for those who don't know I have a collection of plants in my window seal, Phillipe (which I have had for a year now), Frank, Chloe, Josephine, Melvin, Viki, and, Clint. Phillipe is the oldest one and he was a very blooming plant his branches would break their way through the blinds and my window looked like a mini garden, anyways I did not have a screen in my window for the longest time until a couple weeks ago when my dad finally got time to do it, but he had a hard time because phillipe was grasping onto the blinds, and my dad tried to keep phillipe mostly in tact which he did he only lost 1 branch which is in recovery right now thanks to Dr. Mom, and I can't phillipe back in my blinds so i spent awhile thinking what i was going to do, I decided to get a bigger pot and make someway to make him keep growing without using the blinds. So I took everyone's ideas into consideration and I took my dads idea and put sticks in a giant pot and twist tied the branches to the sticks and now phillipe looks so lively. I also have two new pots tofill so if you have any ideas on plants let me know

Catching Up

As I sit on the train in my lonely seat with no table because for some reason teddy bears from build-a-bear are more important than me. I think of the one question that always confudles my mind and that is "What if". What if instead of vanilla i got chocolate? What if I said no instead of yes to the waiter? What if I decided to hug everyone instead of say hi? What I was there to stop it? This question will always bug me just because there are so many possibilities that can happen instead of just one simple answer. And yet I ask myself this question a lot some of the times I don't worry about the answer other times it sit and ponder all the possibilities that could have happened. What instead of turning left at the light I turned right, and how could this change my future who would I have met if I turned left and what would I have discovered? What if I decided that top hats were a must for my fashion? Then thinking of the what if makes me think of the past present and future. Which then brings up my next confudleing question that probably will never be answered which is what if something so small was changed in the past, how big of a change would it bring to the whole world and its existence, I then look back and see how little things could have changed the future, If someone said hi to the man with the fully automatic weapon planning to kill everyone. If someone did a small act of kindness for an old man who only could be defined as a jerk to everyone, if the president during the cold war said one wrong word. If instead of praying in the woods the 14-year old boy decided to go play with friends. All questions that make me wonder. Anyways that's my deep thought that I thought everyone should know. Love you all.

Hugs


So I'm planning on doing a few blogs about happy things. Things that bring joy to my life, and I'm done ranting for now. So I was sitting in Burger King eating my delicious burger thinking about how hard life is and then it hit me to blog about things that bring joy because then I'll be filled with joy. So I am going to blog about Hugs. So I thought I would begin it by giving the definition of hugs which is
Hugs:
1. To clasp or hold closely, especially in the arms, as in affection; embrace.
2. To hold steadfastly to; cherish: He still hugs his outmoded beliefs.
3. To stay close to: a sailboat hugging the shore.
Of course I'm going to talk about the first
definition. Which in my head is almost the same definition to embrace someone closely as in affection very key words in it. There is only one thing better than a hug and that is a kiss but I have only accepted kisses from one person of the same gender as me and that is my nephew Tyler (who has only given me one kiss ever since he learned). I accept hugs from everyone. Because in my mind hugs warm the heart and body, they let the person know that everything will be alright in the end, and that for the brief moment that you are hugging that nothing else matters, and that even if other people hate you at that place and time, there is still someone who cares for you. When I receive a hug from my nephew Tyler I could care less whether the world around me is falling down, I have someone to hold in my arms and that person cared enough to come over and give me a hug. This goes for everyone else who has given me a hug I don't care if I'm down on my luck and life sucks you have put me in a whole other world where life is not judged by you wealth or you fame but how much you love other people. And yes sometimes it does not seem like that but inside I am feeling that. That one famous saying pictures are worth 1000 words well you can also put that as a hug is worth 1000 words, you don't have to say anything when you hug someone, a hug could me "I love you", "Your awesome", "You complete me" "Forget the world you've got friends" "I respect your friendship" "everything is going to be alright" and much much more. Hug at least one person a day it lets them know that you care.

You Can't Catch Me.

Okay so I know that supporting a criminal is not the best of ideas but this guy is so freaking awesome and the cops are so freaking dumb its unbelievable. His name is Vassilis Paleokotas a.k.a the Robin Hood of Greece. He is a well known criminal in Greece. His reign of criminal activity began in the 90's with blackmail, robbery, extortion, and kidnapping. Basically what he would do is kidnap a well known public figure or one of their kids and then hold them for a big amount of ransom. Then when he got the money he would return the victim unharmed. Then he would take the money and give it to poor farmers in the country side(thus getting his name the Robin Hood of Greece). Also the people that he did kidnap commented that he was one of the nicest kidnappers they have ever had, he treated them very well. He never wanted to harm anyone, so he had a sidekick Altek Rizai he gun slinging partner who never was afraid to open fire onto a group of fully armored cops. Now even if Vassilis Paleokotas was the nicest criminal ever to live in Greece, crime is still a crime so in 95 he was finally caught.
(ready for the awesomest part of the story)
So the prison that they sent Robin hood to was a high security prison. During his routine exersices with the other prisoners outside a helicopter being flown by robin hoods brother landed in the middle of the field, stepping out of the helicopter in a nice suit and shoes made the guards think that is was for the chief of the warden and gladly let him get back on the helicopter and before they could even process that something was wrong and that Vassilis and Altek were on the helicopter it was off. The guards started by firing back but it was too late. He avoided cops in the mountains for the longest time doing the same things as he did before he went to jail robbing, kidnapping, black mailing, and giving part of that money to the poor farmers. But again was eventually captured and sent back to jail. So on Feb 22nd he was going to be transferred from one prison to the next and in comes another helicopter, this time it dropped a rope and Vassilis and Altek climbed up the rope and escaped this time the guards had time to fire back but there was a girl with a fully auto gun raining fire upon the guards to protect the plane. Later on cops found an abandoned helicopter with a bullet hole in the gas tank and they discovered that they escaped on motorcycles and havent been found. This guy is one awesome criminal.
