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.

Internet Withdrawals and Other Goings On

So due to an unpaid bill (yeah I'm a slacker) my cable and internet was shut off for a few days. It's a weird thing when you have no TV and no internet, you find yourself doing things you never thought you'd do. I rearranged my closet, dresser and even a briefcase I store paperwork in. I stood in the doorway a couple times just looking at the computer (yeah that's pretty sad). As you can tell the bill is paid and I am back in action but it was a long few days.

We're getting in on inauguration day and I am hanging on to hope that the Obamessiah will stun the world and preside over us in an intelligent and upright manner. But his stimulus idea is bad all around. It wasn't that long ago he was criticizing the Bush administration for for his stimulus plan that the great O himself was on on board for. Complaining about being a trillion dollars in the hole, than adding another trillion to the problem seems like a bad idea. Not to mention his disciples are saying his emissary Hillary Clinton is going to achieve peace in the middle east in the first week of his time in office. FAT CHANCE, not that I don't want peace but O's hand waving over the problem is not gonna make 3000 years of hate go away.

All else is great in my little patch of desert. I'm rolling on a drama free, less stress path. I'm giving my burdens up to JC and I am doing my part by trying to be the man I've been called to be. It's not always easy, or stress free by far, but it would be much worse if I fought God and tried to forge my own path.

Quakes and things

After a very long week last week things have finally settled back to normal. My leg is still jacked, but I think it's getting better. I have a lingering cough that is still annoying but everything else has fallen back to the norm. All the holiday stress is gone, Bible study started up and regular everyday stress is back. Church Sunday was the first clue things were back. Tuesday night felt like old times and though there have been some obstacles I am feeling groovy.

If I may dip into politics for a moment; I am displeased with Obama's silence on the latest Israel vs. Islamoterrorist conflict. He has been spouting something fierce about the economy and how he plans to spend us out of this "recession" but when it comes to Israel being assaulted (again) by mooselimb thugs he says we already have a president and it's not his place to give an opinion. I call shenanigans. I have always said Obama is going to leave Israel in the cold and this is not helping his case.

Ok, I did mention quakes in the title, we had another one tonight. 4.9 centered about 25 miles away. This is the second evening quake we've had in as many months, not that I'm surprised I do live in California but that's a pretty short interval even by Cali standards. The good news is all the small quakes suck energy away from bigger ones on bigger faults like the San Andreas which runs right by here but has been fairly quiet (knock on wood).

Arrggg!!

Late into new year's eve through the next day I was feeling good about 2009 as a whole. But I must have jinxed myself. I partied a little too hard I guess and weakened my immune system so I got a fever which lasted 2 days. As soon as that passed it seems I popped a varicose vein in my leg and now I am sitting with my leg elevated while my friends go out to enjoy another evening. I am so pissed. I have not been healthy since I moved into my new place and it's really starting to bring me down. For a person of my stature I have always been pretty healthy. But these last weeks are trying my patience. I'm just so pissed and depressed!!!!! I wanna break something.......
