Ill Thoughts Cause Illness

I thought I had purged myself.
I can't keep doing this or else I'm liable to drive myself crazy.
I can't keep letting this hang over my head.
I may be in trouble here.
I've fallen ill, both in mind and body.

Fat Body!!!

Man. I am entirely too lazy and unmotivated to get into shape, even though I sorely need to. I gotzta trim the fat, but I'm always sleepy and always hungry so I'd much rather fill those needs rather than fill the need to trim. Well, except for sleeping during the day. I don't nap. It just doesn't work like that. And it's hard giving stuff up. My diet should be ok, but man... giving up drinking beer for a couple months to cut out those calories??? I don't think I can do it.... no, I can't. I'll have to make up those calories somewhere else.

I wish there was like a league or intramurals or a track coach or something that I could join so they could force me to work out, because the one thing I don't like to do is to let others down. I usually don't mind letting myself down; I can get over it. But when it comes to other people, particularly people who don't know me too well, I don't want to create a bad image of myself. So I hustle.

And what a crazy week for football. Ups and Downs for me.


Brady out for the year?!? HOLY CRAP! The Chargers now have a REALLY good chance of going to the Super Bowl!!! Like 95%!!!!


MERRIMAN IS OUT FOR THE YEAR?!? OH CRAP!!! Don't get me wrong. I was completely for him getting the surgery before the season even began. But now that it's confirmed, and after watching the Chargers D just disintergrate in the last 30 seconds of last Sunday's game... I'm scared.

Other things to be scared about in the AFC:

Jay Cutler and his new favorite toy, Eddie Royal

Steelers. Shit.

You can never be too sure... stupid, Brett Favre.

Whoop Dat Trick!

The story of my life. Not many people realize it, or maybe even know it, but it's hard out here for a pimp.

No One Likes Traveling II

"I work here."

"Huh?"  Felice asked, frowning with confusion.

"Yeah, I work here."

"What, like you're a pilot... Or a stewardess... Or a security guard...?"

Jeff shook off Felice's rambling questions.  He wasn't sure if she was joking or if she really was that clueless.  He hoped she was joking.  Jeff hated clueless girls.  Unless they were incredibly good looking.  Jeff was unsure about Felice and hoped she was joking.

"No, no, no.  I work over there."  Jeff pointed towards the little airport store, filled with travel items, cheap last minute souvenirs, and dozens of magazines and books.  One woman was reading Us Weekly.  Two young boys were sitting on the floor, flipping through video game magazines.

"Oh, I see," Felice said, thumbing through her book, looking for the page she had left off.  Her interest in the conversation seemed to disappear.  Jeff watched Felice's face, looking at her eyes, waiting for any expression.  Felice, who seemed to be fully immersed in her novel again, looked up at Jeff with a lost look in her eyes.

"What?"

Jeff couldn't believe the nerve of this girl.

"What??" Jeff asked with a bit of disbelief.

"Yeah.  What?"  Felice asked again with an innocent ignorance.

"So that's it?  The conversation is over?"

"Well, you answered my question.  You revealed the solution to my puzzle.  So that's done."

Jeff nodded his head in agreement.  He looked around at the new people walking into the seating area.

"For another thing, you lied about flying back into town and coming off of a flight, and since I don't know much about you, it pretty much means that I think you're a liar.  And I don't like liars."

"You don't?"

"No."

"Not even a little bit?"

"Not at all.  Why would I?"

Jeff started realizing that maybe Felice had a bit more know-how than he gave her credit for.  His previous tricks crashed and burned, and now this girl might even dislike him.  "Hopefully my boyish charm gets me out of this one," Jeff thought to himself.

"Well what was I supposed to say?"

Felice ignored his question.  She wasn't done yet.

"And another thing: your opening line was lame.  And you followed that up by insulting my clothes and then instigating that I was an idiot because of what I'm wearing..."

"Hey, I said you WEREN'T like the other girls!  Remember?  The book you were-"

Felice held up her book.  She couldn't believe a guy she just met was trying to weasel his way out of his own mess.

"You mean this book?  Have you even READ this book?  Or was that a lie too?"

Jeff froze in place.  Now he knew his back was against the wall.  He smiled widely.

"Heh.  Um..."

"Yeah.  That's what I thought."

Its Always Darkest Inside Your Mom

All three actors PERFECTLY portrayed their characters.

I absolutely KNEW this movie was going to kill. After all the hype and leaks of "Batman Begins", how good that movie was (especially in resurrecting the Batman franchise after the late 90's failure of Joel Shumacher), and official word that the exact same team that brought us "...Begins" was coming back for at least one more sequel, there was no way in HELL I thought this movie was going to disappoint me in any way.

The picture that sold me on Ledger as the Joker. I knew at this moment it was gonna be incredible.

However, I must admit, even I didn't believe from the very VERY beginning that Heath Ledger was going to pull off the Joker that I know to be the TRUE Joker (for anyone that doesn't read comics and therefore may not know what I mean, read the trade paperbacks, "Batman: The Killing Joke" by Alan Moore or "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns" by Frank Miller). After all, the meat of Ledger's work that I had seen comprised of multiple viewings of "10 Things I Hate About You" and "A Knight's Tale". But once I saw the first image of Ledger in his Joker make-up/wardrobe and heard his laugh in the sneak sneak trailer of "The Dark Knight" (the one where it's just the Batman symbol emerging from blue flames), I KNEW and believed that this was gonna be one crazy and DOWN TO THE CORE OF THE CHARACTER portrayal of the Joker.

I doubt I need to stress the point any further; GO SEE THIS MOVIE. Prior to today, as far as comic book movies went, I ranked "Batman Begins" and "Spider-man 2" tied at 1st place, followed in a close 3rd place by "Iron Man". However, after today, the ranking has evolved into "The Dark Knight" in 1st place, and perhaps a three-way tie between "Batman Begins", "Spider-man 2", and "Iron Man".

Oh, and the other best part of "The Dark Knight" that comic book geeks might not know about: the trailer for next year's "The Watchmen". If you don't understand where I'm coming from, go read the graphic novel "The Watchmen" by Alan Moore before the movie hits theaters next year. It'll totally redefine what comics can be for you.

The Rain Aint Over Yet

I'm still tickin', so don't think that I've gone anywhere. The real world is slowly calling me back, so I've been busy getting ready for that. It's ok; I've been gathering my thoughts up as well. But in the mean time, a sweet sweet video for a sweet sweet song from a sweet sweet band.





Make it so.
