fun with jello

Thanks to Melissa and dirty movies things like this happen. Not sure why the vid was choppy on youtube but maybe not here.

I thought I bitched a lot

Kate and I watched The Strangers last night. Melissa told us it was predictable and that's fine. What horror movie isn't? It wasn't bad but had the cliche. The sound and music was killer, no pun. Anyway, I looked it up on imdb to see if other people liked it. The thread is funny to look through. Also, check the director's thread. Just like any other movie it gets ripped to sheds by viewers but some go into such detail about how much of a piece of shit it was. Bummer. I kind of liked it. I've always liked faceless and emotionless characters in movies because it's scary to think that these people could exist and do. The ending was really creepy because you realize that this might be the first of many killings and the way the women use the knife suggest this is their first time. It is a movie with flaws but not an absolute piece of shit. Look up any movie on imdb and people will just bitch about anything. I don't see them making any good movies. I didn't like Hancock but I'm not going to write a five page forum thread about how the director miss used ancient mythology to create a superhero and how the movie has more plot holes than The Wild Wild West.

An avid blogger I am not

Is it that I'm just straight up lazy? Not just with writing in my blog but also everyday things like putting away my cloths get put on hold. Is it wrong that I have no energy and just want to watch TV? Many times I've wanted to sell all my video games but the fact that I have many I have yet to play once but have owned it for years gets logged into the lazy category. I have in my possession things like movies, books, music and other stuff still sealed. There is software I haven't used since 2006 or at all. Why? I want to use it, I'm into it, I like it but what is keeping me from it really? Is it that much easier for me to sit or lay down and not move until I want to sleep? My job is not hard or physically demanding, neither is my second job I work 5:30-9:30pm
on Mondays and Fridays. I don't exercise on a regular basis either. I'm not a vegetable so why do I act like one? Maybe I'm overwhelmed by everything but that's BS too. I guess I can start here and work my way through all the things I need to do.
#1 Blog....check.

What's next?

update

Today I created the Steve Gill Group on Facebook. Join it if you know this strange animal.

In other fantastic news you really need to know....

Kate and I are going to try and take back the bocce crown this Saturday while I swig down the brews. My sister passed her real estate exam! Gracies are in Woburn! Drink Gansett!

I'm going to hit the PC and design work hard core so if I look a little pale just give me food or beverage because I'm feeling weak and had hardly any sleep but it will be worth it...I hope.

Have my mid-year review tomorrow. I wonder what kind of BS will ensue?

Helmet then and now + ME = WTF

Just a little something that was on my mind.

Driving into work I was listening to Lithium (Sirius 24) and Unsung by Helmet came on, it made me think how things change and sometimes change for the worse. I've changed a bit since I first started listening to them both physically and a little mentally. I still complain a lot about nothing. I understand that bands come and go and some go through transformations over time. I know the original band hasn't been together for a while and most of them are involved with other projects, which is cool. I was getting pumped years back when I heard Page Hamilton was working on a new band called Gandhi but he ended up reforming Helmet and releasing Size Matters and has put out other new Helmet albums and I just don't like them. It's not about having the same members in the band that's got me a snobbish about it. I don't like the new style of singing. It sounds like he's trying to connect with the winy emo crowd. Don't know why maybe that's the direction he wants to go. I am still a fan just of the older stuff which I'm sure they'd bust out at a show. That's when I got to thinking. Have I changed for the worse over the same period of time? Some people might like the old me and that's cool I guess but the me in the now doesn't really care anymore. I not here to try and make you like me. I'm too busy for that. I'm trying to make decisions that will benefit my family because I've made many bad choices in the past. Not sure where this is going but I guess just like Helmet I'm still the same and different all in one except I still like me. Ya dig sucka?

David Cross: Shut up you fucking baby!

This comedy album came out in 2002. I just listened to it again...it's been awhile. It's funny and makes you think. Some predictions have come true (Bush) which is scary. Give it a listen! It's good.

Really?

So the memo went out again this year, Friday is Hawaiian shirt day. I usually dress like a bum so it will be the only day I dress up. And you thought it only happened in the movies and sitcoms, oh no, it really happens.
