"Seven Pounds"-Wow
Mon, January 5, 2009 @ 10:03AM
Not exactly an uplifting, holiday feel-good movie, but "Seven Pounds" proved a thinker's delight. If you're interested in seeing the film, stop reading now because it's impossible to discuss without giving away the plot. "Seven Pounds" is a film that, once seen, you can't watch again. The mystery will be gone. Stop back after seeing it. If you've already seen it or don't care, then, please, by all means, read on. "Seven Pounds" is the film that makes Will Smith not just a great actor, but, in my opinion, one of the all-time legends. It takes him and stretches him beyond the wise-cracker, the action hero or Muhammad Ali and turns him into a believeable, depressed, mystery man whose every action has the audience trying to guess what's up. "Seven Pounds" starts out by being just plain confusing. Will's a tax man. He's an aerospace engineer. He drives a Crown Victoria. He drives a classic Corvette.

New Year - New Plan
Mon, January 5, 2009 @ 8:31AM
Every New Year people from around the world say they are going to lose weight, stop smoking, stop this, start doing more of that, yada yada yada. I never do that. I plan to work out more in 2009. It is not a New Years Resolution, it is a fact. I planned on working out more in 2008 but my gym membership ran up and various home upgrades or fixes along with other things tied up all my money. Recent Christmas money has put me in a better position to renew my membership. I also have extra motivation to get my body right for my honeymoon this year. I don' t want a big gut in all my beach pictures ya know. I think if you need a new year to change something in your life then you really don't want change that something or you are all talk and will not change that something. If you have decided that you need to stop smoking then why not start tomorrow? If you decided you are going to be nicer to the homeless when they ask for money then why not start tomorrow? If you have to wait

The Penguins Troubles and a Pitt Weekend
Tue, January 6, 2009 @ 8:51AM
The Pens are in need of a win, and they need to do it tonight against the Atlanta Trashers. Not even halfway through the season and it's desperation time to pull off a good 8-2 run in the next 10 games. Crosby needs to step up his game, Fleury needs to sharpen his game - not letting in soft goals, and Therrien should consider finding a way to get around the trap. The 4-0 loss to the Raggers wasn't as much a problem as the loss to Florida, as King Henry was impressive in the Rangers net as he always is. The Pens need to turn this around, and I think a little noise to start the game at home would do some great confidence boosting. Get that first goal and the floodgates should open immediately. Especially against Atlanta, lose tonight and expect some MAJOR changes. Imagine the disappointment, 2 wins from the Cup and in danger of not only missing the playoffs but finishing last. The only good thing to come from this weekend, was watching Brad Pitt movies. From Mr. & Mrs. Smith to B

Where's my bailout?
Tue, December 9, 2008 @ 8:48AM
Everybody needs a bailout these days and from the looks of things, it's a line that could be way, way long. The whole problem is people don't know how to live within their means -- a problem that partly stems from people not being taught about finances and not being shown the example. I know people, for example, who simply don't pay bills, figuring there aren't any consequences to such a practice. What's up with that? I don't know if they think there's a money tree out in their yard that will start blooming sometime soon and come to their rescue or what? On the other end of handling finances, I am fortunate to know people who have a firm grip on financial reality -- something they've grasped all their lives. They're old school, people who don't believe in credit cards, in not buying something until you have money set aside for the purchase and practice the envelope system, putting money in them in anticipation of this bill to come and that one to follow. Should we really be bail

Not Killing My Husband for Christmas
Mon, December 15, 2008 @ 5:02PM
I didn't do it, and I'm proud of myself, because he was really pushing it. First, it was the Christmas tree. He has to argue with me over the lights every single year. (Commercial interruption: Sierra wanted to be in this blog. Now she is. That is all.) Anyway, he always complains that I want too many lights on the tree. He's always accusing me of trying to burn down the house. My argument: 1) They are flippin' Christmas tree lights. They aren't burning anything down. 2) Four strands of Christmas lights aren't dangerous. Really, they are not deadly weapons or anything, I promise. 3) Maybe burning down the house would be okay; we'd get the insurance money and we wouldn't have to replace the windows. 4) ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Then, he made fun of our Christmas tree ornaments. Okay, some are old, some are brokenish and some are handmade, but they all have stories behind them. He had to make a point of throwing away one this
