To Blog, or not to blog... that is the question?
With the coming amnesty Obama will grant up to 30,000,000 illegal aliens citizenship and permanently sway the vote to the democrats. After that Obama's socialist dream will become a reality. The question is: Do I continue to blog about how Obama is stepping on the Constitution and killing the American dream? OR: Do I start changing my tune to an Obama supporter so when he starts putting "right wing extremist" in "labor camps" I can be a guard and not a prisoner? Now I know you're gonna say "Stand up for your beliefs" and "That won't happen". But that's been said before and I lost many family members on my mothers side in the Holocaust. This is all for naught in the long run because I just won't give up that easy.

The Saga Continues
I've been giving you all a running list of my health problems and it hasn't subsided yet. I came off of my chest cold right into a head cold. It's got my ears clogged and my throat a mess so the cough is still with me. On top of that I've been poisoned to the tune of pink eye. That was something I was over being the ripe or past ripe age of thirty, the last time I had it was 2003 after being doused at Universal Studios Jurassic Park ride. At least than I had a cool excuse. So it's March so I am going through my 4th month of being sick. Safe to say I am sick of being sick. While it's not getting me down like it was before I still really really want to be over this.
Of course if there's one thing uglier than my health it's the stock market. Down 3000 points since November we are at levels not seen in a dozen years. Now I won't say that this is all Obama's fault but he is not giving us much hope between the stimulus and the largest budget in American history.
Last thing I wanted to comment on is the remaking of almost every movie made in the last 50 years. Classic or not. Poltergeist, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure , The NeverEnding Story, Child's Play, The 39 Steps, Adventures in Babysitting, Footloose, The Evil Dead, Pet Cemetery, Oh, God!, Predator, Porky's, RoboCop, Spies Like Us, Sharky's Machine, Smokey and the Bandit, Vanishing Point, The Stepfather, Romancing the Stone, Weird Science and Total Recall. Some of these I've never heard of much less want to see remade.

Flashback!
If you go back to the first posts on this blog, you see that it didn't start as a political blog. It was watching a cartoon geared towards young children slam a sitting president. Now after again trying to avoid getting political on my blog it is a cartoon that brings it back. The messiah was featured in a 2 minute animated segment on nickelodeon talking about what a cool guy he is and what he has on his ipod. Now as a whole I have no issue with teaching children about the President, but it was the same station all those years ago who made blatant negative cartoons about President Bush. Why must liberals indoctrinate children like this? Fair and balanced would be OK, but none at all would be best. I remember when cartoons were a rabbit eating a carrot or an old navy guy eating his spinach. Or when a kind old man named Fred taught children all sorts of useful things without ever even mentioning he was a pastor who gave sermons every Sunday. Mark my words this Obsession with Obama will turn out bad in the long run. They are putting too much faith in man. Only one man has ever had the strength to support the weight of mankind and I am sorry Chris Matthews it's not President Obama. No Keith Obermann the President can't lift his arms and raise our Nation. I still have hope that President Obama will change things for the better it gets thinner and thinner every day. More and more I am hoping there will be a USA left when he is through.

Oh yeah
I saw "Taken" last week, and it was awesome. There's nothing like an ex-govt spook who's daughter gets kidnapped and goes on a killing spree to find her. It takes a few to get going, but once it starts, it keeps the afterburner on for the rest of the flick. If you like action with explosions and good clean fun torturing, this is a winner. Guys don't be afraid to bring the ladies, while it's 100% a guy flick the story of the father out to save his daughter will keep the girls interested. Oh and it's a heavy pg-13, so I would call 13 the absolute youngest to see this. I give it 4 out of 5 smoking barrels.
I also watched "Don't Mess with the Zohan" again, if you can overlook the disgusting sexual references and images (large bare women). The movie itself is pretty funny. It's cheesy cornball like Naked Gun or Police Academy, don't expect wit or wisdom. Keep an eye on all the palestinians in the movie 90% of them are Jews, including the impossibly hot Emmanuelle Chriqui and the hilarious Rob Schneider. For me Zohan gets 3 out of 5 stars of David.
BTW folks if you look back in this here blog you'll find other movie reviews, if you don't see one for a movie you are interested in let me know (theexpertsmail@gmail.com) and I will post a review quick and dandy. IF by some crazy reason it's a flick I've never seen, I'll watch it and get back to you. That's just another service I offer you free for reading my totally useless blog.

Botched again
As usual my attempts to squish drama has led to more drama. So let it be known you can't tuck it away and hope it disappears. It overloads and explodes. So I am going with a new approach; by the issue. Address each thing individually while it's small and don't let it build up.
I am way more involved in my job than others. For one I live at my job, which makes getting away difficult. Second, I am invested personally. While other want to see their employer thrive so they can get a raise, I want to see the boys I take care of thrive so they can be strong positive members of society, unlike their paternal DNA donor who is a wife beating aye-hole. Lastly like others I am reliant on job. If the rent doesn't get paid I will be homeless as well as out of a job.
What all this means is I have to handle myself better. I have to deal with my issues constructively and do it all under the watchful eyes of small children who soak up everything the see hear and experience. And while my boss/roomate/close friend can be frustrating at times, those moments are way outnumbered by the good times we have, and as long as I keep edging foward I can take the boys and her with me
I am doing everything I can to live my life better. I am really trying to keep my prayers going, reading my Bible, trying to be a good example and supportive to my friends and family. But sometimes I feel fate is working against me. That's probably the enemy doing his thing and I need to fix that.

Untitled blog from the Expert
So on my quest to shy away from politics, I find myself doing a lot of nothing. I never realized how much time I spent reading articles, books and blogging. I'm still keeping track of whats going on but just enough to not get to stressed out. If I were to blog every time the great and powerful O or one of his disciples did something that bugged me I wouldn't have time to breath. So being that I am sticking to this less drama approach you'll have to go somewhere else to get your politics.
I did catch a flick this past weekend, Defiance. It was a period piece set in nazi occupied Russia, with the nazi's doing their thing against the Russian Jews. Overall it was a good movie, but don't forget the subject, at times it can be hard to watch. Daniel Craig and Liev Schriber shared the title roles and did an amazing job.
Thing's are well on the home front, I refuse to give in to the drama bug biting at me. Had a not so hot night out last Friday, don't ask... And I am still battling an array of illness like I've never had before. I can't figure out why I am having this many medical issues but I am determined to get through them. That and I am putting it in my Prayer request both at Church and in my small group. So unless God is trying to teach me a lesson I'm just not understanding it'll all clear up soon.
Oh and I'm throwing a superbowl party this weekend, the first in a while. Usually this was a Church thing but I guess they don't want to risk the stupid copyright violation by showing the game at the church. Of course that last time I did a superbowl event at a church was the time janet jackson decided to pull her nipple stunt. Safe to say if I had made it to another superbowl at that church there would have been no party.
