The Phantom Menace

It's been a long time since Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. I always thought the new trilogy sucks compared to the old one. This guy really trashes the new trilogy nicely. He loves the original and the new just doesn't compare. He explains why. His channel has reviews on Episode Two too.

Election 2010

Well, the elections are over and the people have decided. I guess this automated thing wasn't so bad after all. So far the streets aren't running with blood, just piss, the usual.

Our new president is the alleged, ALLEGED, retard. The vice president is a guy who's comic book I own. The most curious thing however is that the convicted plunderer candidate came in at second. I didn't want to believe it but I guess people really are stupid. On the local scene, our new mayor is one who actually believes in the rule of law. How refreshing.

I wonder when it's gonna be OK to start hating the president. Two weeks? Maybe we should give him a month before we start demonizing him.

Mother's Day

I'm no poet but I love my mom. I really do. We're close, closer than most mothers and their children maybe. My mother is the greatest human being I know. As a person, she is kind, generous, wise and patient. She is a woman of great faith and strong principle. She raised me all by herself without a problem. Her strength and character are an inspiration.

More than that, I consider her my best friend. I can tell her anything. I tell her my hopes and my fears and she always knows what to say and how to say it. Anything bad happens, I know who to go to. I'm a regular momma's boy but can you blame me when I have the best mom in the entire world? I'm the luckiest person in the world. A shlub like me doesn't deserve her attention. I want to make something of myself, I want to make her proud. It's the only thing I can do and the only thing she ever asks of me.

I tell my mom, "I don't say I love you enough." She tells me, "Ayaw pauwan ha!"

Ten Things That Piss Me Off

Here's a short list of things that annoys me to no end, things that make me want to choke someone. You may not find it annoying, but I do and that's important.

1. Cheese "Queso" Flavored Ice Cream

Who's bright idea was this? It tastes like shit. It's a dairy product flavored dairy product. Whoever came up with this and those who enjoy this "flavor" should be shot.

2. People Who Say "LOL"

Not many people do this thankfully. It usually happens to people who are too wired. Get off the damned Internet for a minute. What does "LOL" mean? LAUGH OUT LOUD! So do it! What's the problem? If a joke is funny or you find something amusing, how about laughing? Give it a try. I wonder if these people are still human and not terminators from the future or something.

3. IMVU Ads

These Internet ads piss me off in particular. It's an ad for some shitty online social game or something. There's a lot of these ads everywhere featuring some stupid plastic Bratz faces and crappy- GRRAAHH!

4. People Who Misuse "In Fairness" and "To Be Fair"

Look, the phrase "In fairness" or even better "In all fairness" shouldn't be thrown around whenever by moronic celebutards on television. It's supposed to be used when you respectfully disagree on some point and try to offer positives to a negative. For example:

Alice: "A lot of people misuse the phrase, "in fairness"."

Bob: "To be fair, a lot of people are simply ignorant and don't know shit."

5. E-mail Regarding Elections and Candidates

I actually appreciate people who forward such e-mails with the titles, "elections", "why I'm voting 4..." and "vote..." so I can delete these e-mails straight away.

6. Fast Food Shops That Don't Give Enough Tissues

You know I'm right. Fast food stores that are stingy with ketchup packets as well just twists the knife.

7. People With Headphones Who Listen To Music

It's as if they can't be bitched to put those earpieces down to listen to another human being. It's like listening to a person is so much trouble. However, a punch to the face is a very clear form of communication.

8. People Who Sing To Every Song

Whenever a popular song, new or old, plays, these people can't help themselves but sing along to it. What's worse is they try to imitate the artist that sung it instead of singing it in their own range. You're not going to convince me the lead singer of Fuel just appeared next to me. Shut the hell up.

9. Dog Shit In The Sidewalk
Now isn't that just lovely? Who likes seeing a nice big dog turd while walking to grab some lunch? At least my dogs crap in the grass.

10. The Color Purple
I hate it.

Iron Man 2

I went to see Iron Man 2 today. However, I also enjoy watching movies for the previews. Three trailers caught my eye. The first one was The Karate Kid. I hate it already. The second one was for The Last Airbender, a live-action movie based on the popular Nickelodeon cartoon directed by M. Night Shamalamadingdong. I have doubts about how faithful the adaptation will be. Right of the bat the trailer mentioned that the titular airbender character is the "last of a powerful nation" or something. Correction, the airbenders were nomads and had no central government or even a state. Call me an avatard, Whatever.

The most interesting trailer was for a film by Ridley Scott starring Russel Crowe. It's a medieval drama with action and political intrigue. A movie with tyrants, evil kings and epic battles for freedom. The name? Robin Hood. ROBIN friggin' HOOD. This ain't no gay romp through no Sherwood forest. This is a gritty and violent "Hood". It's Russel Crowe goddamn it! It's seems to be like The Dark Knight with bows and arrows. He wasn't even wearing them tights.

Anyway, onto the movie. It was pretty good. Downey played a good Tony Stark, the lovable asshole. It seemed pretty aimless in the beginning with a depressed Tony Stark dicking around while confronting his own mortality. Then it picks up in the middle and finishes well. There was even an awesome appearance by SAMUEL L. JACKSON as Nick Fury. Or was it Nick Fury playing as SAMUEL L. JACKSON? The villain was pretty lame. He got his ass kicked in several different flavors. I hardly felt any tension even in the climax. You just know Tony is gonna pull through in the end and that he can't be beat. Still, I call this a fun action movie. It's just fun. That's all.

I fucking hate The Karate Kid. The trailer almost ruined the whole movie!

Dog Trouble

Our dog Jackie, a black Labrador, has sarcoptic mange. Her itching got worse so we took her to the vet. A few weekly shots should fix it. I hope.

Nice Dinner

I had a nice dinner a while ago with the family. It was Mediterranean food so that means it has nuts and stuff. Kind of Middle Eastern, kind of Italian, best of both. The restaurant is the only Greek restaurant I can think of.

I had bell peppers stuffed with rice. The chicken gyro is the best but I thought I'd try the pepper thing.

Greek food is delicious! Too bad the economy of Greece is collapsing. Hahaha!
