Loose Ends to Tight Ends

First some loose ends. I have been reminded on a number of occasions that I missed blogging an aspect of my life or let something important slip by so it is no longer timely. There are any number of reasons I may or may not blog something and here are two good examples that I can now make up for.

I have seen two movies recently with close friends and on both accounts I think the act of seeing the movie and spending the time with the friends was more remarkable than the actual movies. For a blog to work for me it has to fall into that EatingLifeUp category of being moved by it, hating it with a Passion, or Loving it to bits. Here is what happened with these two movies.

Well it is true I felt all sorts of emotions and was pretty fired up after seeing this movie I made a crucial mistake. I decompressed and told two friends (two blog readers) what I felt about the movie. That released the fire I would normally use to write a blog in my typical blog voice. Tonight though I will tell you that I didn’t really enjoy this movie. It had way too much inhumane acts, violence, abuse, and torture for me to enjoy it. While I realize that these activities actually happen in parts of the world and the movie was portraying them I still have a hard time watching them because of the violence I was exposed to at a young age. I also found the cinematography herky jerky and didn’t enjoy the use of focus in the film. I do however manage to give this movie 2 stars because I really enjoyed the ending of the movie. If you are someone that doesn’t get deeply affected by violence and like to watch “indy” films this is definitely a movie for you!

Now to break things up before the next movie review here are some loose ends that never fit into a blog but I feel needs to be expressed to the world.

• My favorite Jam is Raspberry Jam BECAUSE of the seeds!
• I like my Peanut Butter crunchy, crunchy, crunchy
• I don’t mind burnt toast because it absorbs toxins from the body
• I can eat slurpees with a spoon until my tongue goes numb
• I love bubble tea with tapioca pearls and no matter how hard I try I can’t understand how others can’t stomach the idea

Marley & Me (2008) Rating:

Cute movie, I enjoyed it, however nothing too OMG OMG OMG about it. Loved the scenery in the movie though, some great camera shots and visually good. It reminded me that I can’t wait to have a pool someday. But enough about cute movies and cute dogs… Owen Wilson! Love him and his awesome studly nose! Woof!

Now I know many of you enjoyed the crazy game show moment I shared two posts ago so here is one more gem I found that day while searching for a clip of a bad answer.

In response to yesterday’s post I have now finished the second season of “The Tudors”. I am excited for season three to learn more about this interesting time period beyond Anne Boleyn. Yes, Jimmy I think the way the last episode ended with King Henry gorging into a swan pie as shown in the image below we are entering the fat suit era now.

And finally for the tight ends… I was sad to see this past weekend that the Colts got bumped from the running for the Superbowl. If I have this wrong please correct me but it appears they are gone. So now I have to decide who I am cheering for. As you can see below the team I cheer for should preferably wear white or light colored pants.
