Because I'm Wil

Less Stress

2012-01-24T12:57:00.001-08:00

This is pretty much my mantra for the year 2012. Will I be able to eliminate it? Naw, not really, but I can bring it down to a more tolerant level. I'm just trying to not sweat the small stuff so much. My tolerance level had become very low (almost zero) and noticed how it was effecting things, including home. So, I am working to raise that and get healthier.

I have been noticing just a few people making some changes in their life and it is helping reduce the stress in their own lives. Some are eating healthier, working out more, dropping unhealthy relationships (including on Facebook and Google+) and even changing jobs. These folks so far are already looking happier.

So folks, if there is something you really want to work on, try reducing as much stress out of your life. You'll be amazed how it will help just about everything else.

Adventures in Skoolin': Fall In!

2011-08-29T05:38:00.001-07:00

Well! A new school year has started. I am going to take it a step (or maybe 2 steps) further and will take 4 classes this fall semester (2 on campus and 2 online) totalling 11 credits. As like the previous semesters, I am very nervous be cause I will be taking more in and working a remodel overnight for 6 weeks (whew!).

I remembered I never reported on my summer classes. In a nutshell, I aced both classes. Not too much of a surprise for the Computer Apps class, but I was shocked with the Music Lit class. I'll take what I can get, thank you.

This semester will be challenging, but my friends and my wife have faith I will do well. And so I will, too.

Music Review: Evade Kanye's Zone

2011-08-20T18:32:00.000-07:00

So, I was checking out the new CD by Jay-Z and Kanye West called Watch The Throne. The long awaited album was the talk of the nation for months even tough I never heard of it until a week ago. Being a huge fan of Jay-Z I felt it would be worthy of my library. Boy was I wrong. I haven't been this disappointed in an album since Erykah Badu's Amerykah Part 1 in 2007.

I just can't figure what they were thinking. There maybe only one track I like and I mean maybe. Some of you folks may love this release and will blast it forever in your vehicles, but I think it will never enter my player again. I gave this CD 3 chances. I couldn't even go complete through the it the last 2 times.

Jay-Z and Kanye, if you guys decide to do a full album collaboration again please take longer to think it over before hitting the studio. I'm still a fan of you two, but not of this release. Stay out of your Zone, Kanye.

One other thing, WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THIS FELINE PICTURE? Geez!

Brain Dead Donkey in the Middle of the Desert

2011-08-12T23:35:00.000-07:00

So we decided to check out the Change-Up with Reynolds, Bateman, Mann and Wilde. It was a very good and funny film. Showing the usual world of a single man & a married man and how their lives can be effected when they switch. Some would think Ryan Reynolds would have stolen the show, but it was actually Jason Bateman in my opinion. The only issue I had with this flick was that it seemed like they half-assed the post-production. Just thought there were some obvious errors.

All and all I felt this movie was good, but not as well as Horrible Bosses. Check it out in theaters if you wish, but it may be more worthy to see later for rental. Ok movie.

Grade: C+

So I went with some friends to check out the First Avenger last night. It was very well done and entertaining. I'll admit that having Chris Evans play 2 Marvel characters (The Human Torch was the other), but I feel he did a great job as the Captain. Tommy Lee Jones stole the show in my opinion. He was very funny in a dry humor kind of way. Hugo Weaving also did great as the Red Skull. I never new that much about Captain America, but I learned a lot from just this movie.

I am very excited about the upcoming Avengers film in May 2012. It should be great! I also heard that there will be new Iron Man movie coming out which kind of confuses me, but oh well.

Check out Captain America in theaters!

Okay. I am seriously geeking out. Three networks are making remakes of cartoons I grew up on. Three of these cartoons really caught my attention.

First The HUB, a new network, release two remakes, Transformers Prime and G. I. Joe Renegades. This was followed up by NickToons releasing Voltron Force. Now I checked out the series premiere of ThunderCats on Cartoon Network. Pretty sweet. I am pretty impress mainly because they are doing a great job with each series. I am glad.

Check them out.

So, I attended this high school called Washington in Milwaukee and I had this friend named Matt. After high school (not sure much after), he created a comedy group with Aaron Yonda called Blame Society (I hope I'm telling this right). You should remember these dudes as they created Chad Vader, which was rated top ten internet video series in.........I can't remember the year. Since then they have create other series, like Beer and Board games and Ask An Expert.

Ask An Expert started with Hal Thompson and now has turned into a panel including, Dr. Moley, Baby Cookie (my favorite panelist), Thor (not sure about that one) and Ernesto, who I believe is either Matt or Aaron's Cat. Here is a video featuring Ernesto:

I definitely enjoy you guys work. Keep it up!

FWB

2011-07-22T23:00:00.000-07:00

We decided to check out Friends with Benefits tonight and it was great. Timberlake and Kunis was hilarious. They had a pretty nice chemistry in the film, although I doubt they do another one together. Jenna Elfman is also in the film and I thought the reference they made to her previous works were pretty funny. The flash mob deal was a bit much, but kept the cheesiness of the Rom Com. Harrelson and Clarkson was especially funny in their own twisted ways.

This film is alright to check out, but don't have to rush to the theater to see it.

I give it a B.

2011-07-17T17:36:00.000-07:00

We just checked out Horrible Bosses and man it was hilarious. Starring Jason Bateman (Arrested Development), Charlie Day (It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia) and Jason Sudekis (Saturday Night Live) these guys made this movie almost more funny than Hangover and Bridesmaids.

The actual horrible bosses were played by Kevin Spacey, Jennifer Aniston & Colin Ferrell and my favorite was Aniston. I feel Sudekis definitely ran this movie with his asshole like ways as a comedian. The cameos by Jamie Foxx and Ron White were also great.

This definitely a great film to check out in theaters or later.

Check It Out!

New Book: Do you know White People?

2011-07-15T15:10:00.000-07:00

Well I admit I don't read hardly any books willingly. I mostly read books issued to me by classes and work, but my wife gets me a new book called, Stuff White People Like: The Definitive Guide to the Unique Taste of Millions. I found it very interesting, but then shortly after she gave it to me she hijacks it and start reading it to her mom over the phone.

I guess I will read it later once she eventually puts it down. It seems like an interesting read for a short book. I make post some of the stuff from the book.

Later..........

The Cool Weapons

2011-07-05T04:58:00.000-07:00

So went out to check out Transformers 3 in IMAX 3D. May I start in saying that Cinemark 17 & IMAX in North Dallas, TX is very boo now? It is too cramped and hot. I am done with that location. The staff is none to nice either. I am ready to try AMC's IMAX screens. Also, wanting to check out Colleyville Cinema + Grille.

Ok. Back on track. Transformers: Dark of the Moon was very well done. It was a bit too long, but the action and storyline was great. It was cool to hear Leonard Nimoy (Star Trek) as Sentinal Prime (A Transformer I never heard of until yesterday). They also broaden their cast some including all-stars like John Malkovich (Red), Ken Jeong (The Hangover - he's still doing gangsta boy), Patrick Dempsey (Grey's Anatomy) and Frances McDormand (Fargo). Nice work Bay and Spielberg.

As for the Transformers themselves, the debut of Laserbeak was awesome. Didn't know he was a chameleon, but was very effective as an assassin. Also the debut of Shockwave and his "little" pet was pretty awesome (As Lennox points out, "Why do they have the cool weapons?"). Kind of wish Ravage would have came back. :-(

Even though Hugo Weaving did a great job as Megatron, I really wish Frank Welker (the original voice) would have kept doing it. Oh well, Welker was busy enough voicing both Soundwave and Shockwave. Also, why could they use the autotune voice for Soundwave? That was one of the best parts of Transformers.

Overall the movie was great. *SPOILER ALERT* Very sad to see 5 of the major Decepticons fall, but I guess the series has to end somehow. Or did it?

Go check it out! I give this an A. Again, nice work Bay and Spielberg.

Dark Anime

2011-07-04T03:41:00.000-07:00

So while taking a break from studying, I just checked out a new anime just released on Adult Swim called, "Duarara!!". I'm trying to take it in and it may take a while. Kind of like Death Note, which turned out to be really good.

From he same production company who brought Fullmetal Alchemist and Rurouni Kenshin, Amniplex brings a dark anime that takes place in Modern Tokyo (or Kyoto). Looks like it follow the life of some kids, a Russian sushi worker, some bad new people and a headless motorcyclist.

It seems a bid fascinating and I will continue to check it out. More later.

Until then...............

Final stretch.......For Summer '11

2011-07-04T01:39:00.000-07:00

Well, it's the 4th of July and I am up in the middle of the night. Slept from 10 pm to 3am (5 hours). Going to need more in order to make the events for later today. When I woke up pretty much one thing popped in my head: Homework! I never thought I would be like this with my classes and I'm just going for an Associate's now. I can only imagine what my Bachelor's and hopefully Master's will be like. My wife says that if I do two classes like this in a 6 week span and do very well, then a normal semester with up to 4 classes should be cake. Hmmmmmm........we shall see.

Anyways, I will get to work after I get some grub. Getting very hungry. I have 4 assignments, a discussion board, and a final exam to finish by the 7th for my computer class. And a couple of short essays for my Music Lit class.

Did I say before that my instructors are very cool before? I never seen folks flex themselves so much to help you get the best grade possible.

Well, better hop to it.

Lata............

Early on a Sunday morning

2011-06-26T06:13:00.000-07:00

So I slept for 5.5 hours and my body decided to wake up. So since it did that I decided to get jump on my school work. I'm doing very well in my Computer Apps class and learning a lot in a 6 week span. As for this Music Lit course, It am just about lost. I just don't get this instructor's format. I'm trying to keep up, but it's kind of rough. The funny thing is that it is actually less work that the computer class. Pretty confusing.

I'm going to keep at it, but I don't think I will achieve that great of a grade. As long as I pass is my theory on this one. Late last week my wife asked if I could take a break from school work and I thought it was odd given she was the main one pushing to do this, but she was right. Other than work and sleep, this is the only other thing I do most of the time. So much, I neglect the housework some days. Still trying to balance this out.

Only 2 weeks left for this semester. Kind of wished I picked up another class, thinking on that.

Just checked out Super 8. I will admit I was not initially interested in this movie. Had a tough time figuring out what it could be about. Given that the movie was written and directed by J.J. Abrams and Spielberg was involved, it could be about anything. The only thing that got me wanting to see this film was because of J.J. I have been a fan of his work since Alias. I watched and love the shows Lost & Fringe and I even enjoyed Undercovers until NBC decided to drop it.

The film was pretty good. I would say it was intense and comical (The one blond kid was especially funny). People say it was like Goonies. I failed to see that comparison. Even though the film kept my attention during my zoned out state, the main thing that kept going through my mind was, "What does the title have to do with what's going on?" That was answered later on.

Pretty much I would say this film was ok. It was good that didn't over hype it. That would probably make the movie a bit disappointing. The soundtrack was pretty cool though.

I give it a B-/C+. Typical film working with Spielberg.

Burn Notice and Wipeout Returns!

2011-06-23T19:04:00.000-07:00

So the summer is here and it is time for the networks to release their previous summer hits and try some new shows. With my limited schedule I will only take in 3 season premieres and 3 series premieres. The new seasons include Louie, Wipeout and my favorite show, Burn Notice.

Louie fell last summer from my DVR due to limited time (as usual), but I decided to give it a second chance. Now missed a season and usually I would not try the show again, but I'll try. No promises.

Wipeout also returns after playing half of the 2010-2011 season with Winter and Spring versions, which in my opinion was very enteraining. Hope they continue it. Now the main summer show is back and looks even more challenging than before.

As for my new #1 show on my favorite network, Burn Notice returns and I'm sure with great new missions/jobs. This show will never be dropped from my DVR.

New series include Expedition Impossible from the makers of Wipeout. The host, on an interview, says this show is more extreme than The Amazing Race. We shall see.

USA's new show Suits also starts this week. It seems like it will be an interesting show as it features a kid who is a prodigy and says he is able to do court cases with out a degree.

The final series is Wilfred on FX. This show stars Elijah Wood (Lord Of The Rings Trilogy) as a guy who sometimes watches a dog who happens to be a guy in a dog suit or at least that's how I take it so far. It seems disturbing, yet intriguing. I'm not sure how I'll feel about this show, but I'll give it a try.

I don't for see holding on to all these shows, but it will be fun to see how they go.

Surprise, surprise!

2011-06-17T03:22:00.000-07:00

Compter Lab and Bulletin Board assignments are complete, but now our instructor had realized that she didn't now open up 2 exams to us. Now we have those to complete by Saturday night. Man, this is going to be a busy weekend with those and the Music Lit assignments I need to complete.

Oh yeah! And there is housework to be done. I need to get a better system going here.

Oh well. Got to get to it!

Summer Classes Chosen

2011-05-20T23:28:00.000-07:00

Alright, I have finally made my mind on what classes I will take this summer. I will only take 2 classes for 6 weeks. They are Microcomputer Applications, which is a course on learning features of Microsoft Windows 7 OS and Microsoft Office 2010 applications including Word, Excel, Access & Powerpoint. The other class in Music Literature I which basically have you read on the history of music and listen to certain styles including, baroque, classical, medevil and 19th Century. Both of these classes are online due to me working overnights during the same time and traveling on the last 2 weeks.

This will be a whole new major challenge for me, but after my success in Spring '11 I feel better about doing this.

Oh and I finally got my own notebook/laptop thanks to financial aid and my lady! This will definately help with the online classes especially on the travel days.

Semester starts in a little over a week.

Texas Government Results

2011-05-10T18:55:00.000-07:00

So the semester has ended and very eager to see how I do in this class. This grade will help me determine my ability and focus towards my degree. The results are in and I received an "A"! Shock hits me hard. Pretty unbelievable given this is an arena that my strengths don't lie much. My wife says it could be in part because of my recent interest in politics. It could be. I won't say I am as deep in it as some other folks, but it am definately more interested than before.

So what did I get out of the class. Well, I learned a lot about Texas Government in general. I understood the legistlature a bit more. They don't make much money in salary and pretty much the Lt. Governor could be viewed as more powerful than the the Governor himself. I also attended my first City Council meeting in my current town. It was a bit fascinating and enjoyable. I would like to attend more, time permitting.

It was a good class and now I will more on to Summer Classes. I may do 3 classes. We'll see.

Until then...............

Birdaggedon

2011-05-01T06:33:00.000-07:00

At least that's what my wife called it. So I'm up to take the dogs out and when I open the door 5 small birds scattered out from the wreath (not a Christmas Wreath), but they didn't scatter the same direction. 3 shot outside and 2 came in, so let the adventure begin.

Leaving the door open, I ocked up the dogs and got a broom to try to guide the birds out. After a short while, I got one to sit on the broom and I carried out to the front door. It then flew away. The other one too a bit longer as it trapped itself under our china cabinet. By this time my wife comes out of the bedroom, sees the door wide open and calls out to me. I explained what had happened and the current status.

Well this little one was still alive and was not moving anytime soon so I took the dogs just outside the front door (also leaving the patio door open) and let them do heir business while watching for the bird to fly out (Fail). So, I locked the dogs back up and continued to try to free the bird from under the cabinet. I spooked it enough that it came out and then eventually went out the wrong door (patio). I say wrong because it's four siblings (I guess) were sill just outside the front foor.

The bird then just sat outside the patio door for a while. See pictures below.

Picture on the right shows a close up of the bird.

Picture on the left shows how small it was (That's my Wavemaster puching bag behind it).

I walked out to relocate the bird to the front door, but it got spooked again and managed to fly into the bushes behind the fence (Top Picture). It later just flew away to a near by tree. I pretty much deemed it safe.

What a way to start a day.

I Passed

2011-04-29T16:23:00.000-07:00

So, I did it. I am now certified as a Deployment Functionality Technician. Pretty cool! I am more confident in my job skills as a DFT and is ready to dive in the role on the team. I feel things will go very well in this position, but I am not interested in ther overnights even though I have to do them.

There are two other DFTs who need to be certified and I'm sure they will do great and pass with flying colors. Now time to head home and get back to work.

DFT Training - Day 1 and 2

2011-04-26T06:54:00.000-07:00

So I am in the Twin Cities, Minnesota going through my part 2 of training for Deployment Functionality Technician. The trip up here was pretty rough. 2 delays, but no cancellations. Once finally in the air half the flight was smooth and the rest was the choppiest i have ever experienced. Finally arrived at 10pm (started at airport at 3:30pm).

My driver arrived shortly before my bags arrived, which was awesome and we were on out way to the hotel. Dropped out stuff of at the hotel and went out for a late dinner.

After that we stopped at a gas station where things got interesting. Some guy in the car with his girl decided to try to start stuff with one of the guys in our car. They followed us to the hotel and circle the place before finally leaving. What a trip.

Two Brothers, Courtney and the Black Swan

2011-04-24T18:32:00.000-07:00

So after a long time we went to check out Mark's pick for his birthday movie, Your Highness. Oh my goodness, this was a hilarious film. Can I just say I love Natalie Portman. For someone who just won an oscar, pull something like this off is impressive. The main stars of this film are Danny McBride and James Franco where if anyone remembers also starred in Pinapple Express.

This movie was a serious trip. If you guys know the work of Danny McBride you would know what I mean. There were some very nice surprises in this film, including Damien Lewis (Life - TV Series & Dreamcatcher). It has been a while since I saw him in the show Life before NBC decided to cancel a potential great series. Charles Dance was the other surprise. If you don't remember this guy, he played Sardo Numspa, the demon in The Golden Child with Eddie Murphy. He was also in Alien 3 and Last Action Hero.

This film is one I definately recommend this movie in the theaters, forever how long it survives. I say this because it is being rushed out because of the upcoming summer "hits".

Great Movie!

Your Highness - B+

Early Spring Cleaning

2011-02-25T14:38:00.000-08:00

It's about that time for me to determine what shows I want to hold on to in my DVR and which ones have got to go. There will be a few on the bubble, but I don't forsee a lot there.

With schooling demanding more of my wime and of course housework requiring more attention, I need to see which shows I can use to sacrifice. I just have too much and won't be able to watch it all. So here it goes:

Dropped Shows:
30 Rock, Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, How I Met Your Mother, Kekkaishi, Minute To Win It, Portlandia, Rizzoli & Isles, Running Wilde, Stargate Universe, and The Cape

Bubble Shows:
Bob's Burgers, Chuck, Community, Human Target, Law & Order: UK, No Ordinary Family, Parks And Recreation, Sanctuary, Tosh.0 and Traffic Light

Kepper shows:
American Dad, AFV, Archer, Being Human, Bleach, Burn Notice, Castle, Comedy Central Presents, Family Guy, Fringe, Hawaii 5-0, Jeopardy, Law & Order: LA, Law & Order: SVU, Modern Family, Naruto: Shippuden, NCIS, NCIS: LA, Ninja Warrior, NOVA, ONN, Onion SportsDome, Robot Chicken, SNL, South Park, Star Wars: Clone Wars, The Cleveland Show, The Colbert Report, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Transformers Prime, White Collar, Wipeout and Young Justice.

I know I still have a lot of shows, and I will eliminate more, but that all for now.

Until next time.

On A Boat-Day 5: Nassau Hex

2011-02-04T12:12:00.000-08:00

We have arrived in Nassau, Bahamas and was joined by 2 other cruise ships: The Sky fron Norwegan Cruise Lines and The Monarch from Royal Caribbean. Not a whole lot was planned for the day so we will make it a beach day. First stop was Hard Rock (of course) and picked up my shot glass.

Aftewards we took a 20 minute trek to find a beach to chill at. The water was cold upon entry, but was nice once you're completely in. The weather was great and the sun was blasting. Hours later we did a little shopping and headed back to the ship.

After a short nap, we headed to dinner then a movie on the main deck. The film was Jonah Hex, starring Josh Brolin and Megan Fox. Some of you may not have heard of it because when it released in July '10 it only stayed in theaters for just under a month. In my opinion it was pretty good for a comic book movie (DC Comics). I do recommend checking it out whenever.

Well off to bed. Tomorrow we dock at Freeport, Bahamas.

On A Boat-Day 4: Ruthless Play

2011-02-04T12:08:00.000-08:00

Day 2 of the cruise. Just about the same activity as yesterday except things turned for the good. Starting with Jen doing much better. Still fatigued, but better.

I participated in Day 2 of the Super Duper Trivia, where I was still team captain. I don't how it happend, but we killed on this game. We answered question after question so well. We even picked up points when they missed questions. The physical challenge was to blow a long balloon and tie it shut. I was tricked in doing this challenged because the host asked for strong players. She meant players with strong lungs. I could not blow my balloon at all so my opponent won, but he didn't blow it up completely so instead of 50 pts, she only awarded 30. My friend called me a ruthless player because I was strategic with the card play: Double points 3x, made the other team miss a turn and after they got their last question right and tripling their points, I played a steal points card. I called it being strategic, but she says I was ruthless.

Later that day I returned to Name That Tune and Bean Bag Competition. I finished in 3rd in name that tune (41 out of 60 points). Then there was Bean Bag competition. My usual partner did not show so I teamed up with one of the folks from my trivia team. We finished 2nd.

The rest of the day was pretty much chill. Taking care of my baby and watched 300 & Dragonball + in spanish (that's right in spanish) until I went to sleep.

Next day, Port to call at Nassau, Bahamas.

On A Boat-Day 3: Quarter Drop

2011-02-01T12:07:00.000-08:00

First full day on the ship at sea. No ports so it's a fun day at sea. Jen chilled for most of the day and i was in and out of the cabin checking on her, doing events and eating.

One of the events I was in was called Super Duper Trivia. This is a multiple day event and the first day started off strong. Along with the questions you answer, there are physical challenges. Today's challenge was to take a quarter, put it between your butt cheeks, walk across the floor and drop it in a small cup. Oh my lord that is one big challenge (see video). I also participated in a name that tune and bean bag competition.

It was elegant night for dinner, which as you know means that we dress up. After that we checked out 2 comedians, Carl Fauleneberry and Dean Gaines. Carl, we saw on our first cruise as well. He's very hilarious then and now. He reused some of the same material, but was still very funny. Dean was new to us. He is a regular in Las Vegas. He was pretty funny, but was a bit over the top. He has a huge fascination with male genitalia, makes me wonder.

It was a pretty eventful day and we have another fun day at sea before arriving at Nassau, Bahamas.

On A Boat-Day 2: Embarkmentation

2011-01-31T11:46:00.000-08:00

So we headed off to Galveston to board the Carnival Conquest for our Eastern Carribean Cruise. Thelines for security and check in went great. Through and through in 30 minutes.

We didn't do much, but we checked out the Welcome aboard show in the main theatre. It was a very good show Cheezy as usual, but very good. One of the new features ofthe ship is that they now have a stand-up comedy series called Punchliner. They are bringing more and more stand-up acts which I love.

It was a good first night and we are looking forward to more.

So we are on our way to jump on our 2nd cruise in 2 years. Our first one was November '09. Very excited about this and we definately deserve to go after the year we had (in terms of work).

We will stay overnight in Houston, then head out to the ship. This cruise we will be going to the Eastern Carribean. Ports to Call are Nassau, Bahamas, Freeport, Bahamas and Key West, Florida.

Very Excited!

......And So It Begins

2011-01-14T14:30:00.000-08:00

With the advise of my academic advisor at TCC I took just one class in the Spring '11 Semester. It is Texas State and Local Government. This is one of 2 classes required to be taken at a Texas college and university. The other is History of Texas. I'm pretty excited and nervous. My wife believe I will do well. I'll just see how I do.

Like I said before..........wish me luck.

Prime Returns

2010-12-15T20:30:00.000-08:00

So with my TV service being completed, I stumbled on to a new network with a new show. Transformers Prime showing on the HUB Network.

It looks pretty cool and i was very excited when I saw Peter Cullen and Frank Welker together again as Optimus Prime and Megatron. Another familiar name/voice, Jeffrey Combs as Ratchet. Combs played multiple roles on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. One of my favorite guest stars of the show.

At first I thought this was only going to be a 5 part series, but they announced that an actually series will begin in February 2011.

Sweetness!

3.5 stars.

They Shootin'

2010-12-11T21:25:00.001-08:00

So I went out with a friend of mine as he taught me how to shoot. We met up with his friend, Joe, who welcomed me. I learned a good deal about guns. I started with a 22, then a 9mm, a 45, then 3 different rifles. It was pretty fun and yes, I'd probably go again someday.

Football '10

2010-09-12T08:03:00.000-07:00

I don't know what it is, but I am very stoked about this Football season. I'm not sure if I share thoughts with the commentators when they say that Green Bay is a strong prediction for the Super Bowl. I would loose it if they do make it and come down here to DFW. I say DFW because the Cowboys do not play football in Dallas. They play in a suburb call ARLINGTON!!!! About 20 miles west of Dallas near Rangers Stadium and Six Flags Over Texas. Anyways, If I had the money and Green Bay made the Super Bowl I would definately go, but watching the game from home is just as good and more comfortable.

I am very excited about this season. It feel like a good one where a lot of teams will be close to each other in the standings. I'm also looking forward to Fantasy Football (as I am every year). I think I will perform even better than last year, where I finished 5th. I know that's not saying much, but usually I finish 9th out of 10 or 12 teams so last year was quite a move forward. I looking for 2nd or 3rd, but it will be rough. I finished 1st in 2 other leagues and I hope to repeat those.

I have no prediction for this years Super Bowl, but I will place the Packers as strong possibility.

Enjoy the season, folks..............

Visiting the In-Laws

2010-09-10T20:49:00.000-07:00

So this past week(end) Jen and I took a trip up to Minnesota to visit her family. The drive was a bit exhausting, but fun rolling with my wife and the dogs. BTW, thanks Jen for setting up the pit stop in KC, we really needed that.

We visited with some of the folks up there including Grandma Crouch, the Cabonaras (Don't worry I'm not tired of seeing you guys yet, ;)), Tonya, Andrea and of course Jen's immediate family.

One of the big parts of the visit was for Cooper and Tyson to meet (Bella tagged along). Man that was a rough and entertaining event. They played well and sometimes faught. We later determined that the fighting was caused by food and toys. Live and learn. There were occasions that Tyson would come to the rescue of Bella, even when she didn't need it. The most entertaining thing to me was when both Tyson and Cooper decided to gang up on Te'. Didn't quite work out as they hoped. I think that if Aleisha hadn't intervened, Te' would have messed them up.

One of the other cool visits were to the Hubbell House in Mantorville, MN. This was a very nice resturant Grandma Crouch took us to after church. Great food and vegatarian/vegan friendly. I highly recommend folks to check out this place if you haven't already.

We returned home with a lot of goodies given to us by Grandma Crouch, which I'm sure Jenny will put to use. She's great at that. I'll admit that I was very nervous transporting all of that glass for over 15 hours, but all survived the trip.

I was great to see you all. It has been a long time and we hope to see you all again more often.

Momma Crouch: Looking forward to seeing you in October.

Dave C.: Looking forward to crushing in fantasy football.

Aliesha: Hope to see you down here very soon.

Beauty Without Equal

2010-05-31T07:48:00.000-07:00

Prince Of Persia - B+

Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Gemma Arterton, Ben Kingsley and Alfred Molina.

This film was very intreging with great cinematography and non-stop action. This is on of the few films that did the video game justice if not better. Gyllenhaal played a very convincing action character mixed with his standard dry humor.

I was worried that I wouldn't enjoy this film, but was glad I was proven wrong. Gemma was pretty bland, but her beauty definately made up for it. Molina was pretty funny and help keep the movie alive.

I do recommend folks see this movie, but no preasure.

Later........

Sad Time L&O

2010-05-16T17:41:00.000-07:00

So I got word that my favorite crime drama, Law & Order, is leaving the air after 20 years. It seems that the big move from Friday to Monday nights had a drastic effect on it's ratings. I suppose so given that it would be up against CSI: Miami, the master of Monday nights along with CBS great comedy line up.

Law & Order wasn't the only Monday show to fall. Truama and Heroes also have been axed by NBC. Chuck was able to stay on the roster and make it to the 2010-2011 season.

It shows that NBC is having it rough, but they did announce a new Law and Order will emerge, but this time it's based in Los Angeles. What night is still unknown.

Of course, I will check this out, but nothing will match the NYC L&O's.

We will miss you Law & Order.

Cya in the fall.

New Cherry Popped: Gas Grilling

2010-04-04T11:28:00.001-07:00

So we wanted to get a new grill since our last grill ($20 charcoal) fell apart. Jen really wanted to get a gas grill, but I was hesitant for 2 reasons: price and safety. She was so excited to get one and I really hate saying no to her so I gave in (one month later) and every so often we went to price grills.

We agreed that since this will be an investment we will count it as out 10th anniversary gift. Well our anniversary is in late May, but with the weather improving here in North Texas and people already grilling, we just couldn't wait (or at least Jen couldn't :) ). So a couple of days ago we went and bought one.

Now, it's not the prime one we want, but it's a good start. I built it Friday, got the tank and some consultation on operation (I need to be very well informed) yesterday. And finally got the grill to ignite (after an hour attempts).

Very stoked now. It will be a great thing. The cooking will start in a few hours.

Shutter Island - 3 Stars

So we went to see Shutter Island this past Sunday and I'll have to say that it was not that different from any other Martin film. He and Leonardo work very well. Definitely, a strong actor pet of Scorcese.

It was great to Max Von Sydow and Mark Ruffalo because it has been a long while. Plus, Kingsley did great in his role.

Come on people, this has been happening for decades. We should be use to this by now.

Just another thing for folks to complain about, which gives me something to complain about so I guess thanks.

Redbox Night I

2010-03-06T14:44:00.000-08:00

So while I am recovering from my doctor and dentist apointments, we decided to make Saturday night a RedBox night. The three films are Sorority Night, Good Hair and The Invention of Lying.

Sorority Night (2.5 of 5) was the first film because Jen only wants to see scary films during the day. Yup. This film was you typical teen/college type slasher film like Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Valentine, etc. It was an okay film. It was tough to figure out who was the killer and til this time I can not figure out why the killer became the killer.

Definately a rental if you are interesting in this type a film. Not a first choice for me, but it was an okay film. Check it out if ya want.

Film #2 was Good Hair by Chris Rock, where he goes to different people and ask them questions about their hair experience. People including Nia Long, Ice T, Mya Angelou, Raven-Simone, etc. He also talked to various famous hairdressers and average folks. It's a fascinating documentary where you are reminded of some things if you are part of this world and you learn something new. Very funny and informative film. Check it out.

So for all you folks who have resolutions or goal, please work hard in achieving them and good luck.

2009-12-26T05:39:00.000-08:00

Just want to wish everyone a Happy Kwanzaa. Even those not of African decent.

Case you were wondering here is the definition.

Kwanzaa is a unique African American celebration with focus on the traditional African values of family, community responsibility, commerce, and self-improvement. Kwanzaa is neither political nor religious and despite some misconceptions, is not a substitute for Christmas. It is simply a time of reaffirming African-American people, their ancestors and culture. Kwanzaa, which means "first fruits of the harvest" in the African language Kiswahili, has gained tremendous acceptance. Since its founding in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga, Kwanzaa has come to be observed by more than 18 million people worldwide, as reported by the New York Times. When establishing Kwanzaa in 1966, Dr. Karenga included an additional "a" to the end of the spelling to reflect the difference between the African American celebration (kwanzaa) and the Motherland spelling (kwanza). Kwanzaa is based on the Nguzo Saba (seven guiding principles), one for each day of the observance, and is celebrated from December 26th to January 1st.

Have a happy one.

Football Rant

2009-09-23T03:44:00.000-07:00

Keep in mind that I am a huge fan of football. With that said:

So I had an little conversation on Facebook yesterday about Plaxio Burress.

Folks are saying that his sentence of 2 years for carrying a loaded weapon in to a NYC club was a bit excessive. "He didn't harm anyone else, but himself." YEAH! Because the dumbass was wearing sweats.

I'm not sure why some of you defend some of the things these guys do. This doesn't stay with athletes, but with other celebrities as well. Now I understand people make mistakes, but there is a difference between that and just being stupid.

I'm going to stop here because normally I don't like to pass judgment, but once in a while it will come out.

They took it easy on Burress. 2 years is nothing for carrying a loaded weapon. He should have gotten more for the way he carried it.

He will be fine and he will return to the NFL just like everyone else when "times served".

BTW, what's up Vick? *SIGH*

Inglorious Bastards!

Just saw the 6th film by Quinten Tarantino and it was outstanding. The movie starred Brad Pitt and he definitely made the movie. The accent was hilarious and the line were great.

There were a couple of cameos including Mike Myers as a High British Military Official. Not as funny as usual, but was great to see him in it.

I would rate this film as his tied for second best with Kill Bill. Number 1 is of course Pulp Fiction.

Highly recommended to see. Oh and is you do see it, check out who is the narrator.

John Hughes Marathon

2009-09-07T17:25:00.000-07:00

So about 3 or so weeks late we had a dvd movie marathon in honor and memory of John Hughes.

We started out with Sixteen Candles starring Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall and John Cuscak. Haven't seen this film in a long time and I think it was my first time seeing the unedited version. It was great.

The 2nd film was The Breakfast Club with Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy and Judd Nelson. It has been a long time since I seen this film. It was good, but I feel they really over did it with the drama.

The 3rd and final film was Weird Science starring Anthony Michael Hall, Ilan Mitchell-Smith, Kelly LeBrock, Robert Downey and Bill Paxton. Still my favorite Hughes film after Ferris Beuller's Day Off. Favorite scene is when they are in the bar and Gary is talking after he is blitzed. Greatness.

It was fun and I'm glad that some of you guys made it. Not sure what our next marathon is, but I'll look forward to it.

Until then........

Little Boxes

So Jen and I have been checking out the hit show, Weeds from Showtime on DVD. We finally finished season 4 and we loved the series up to this point.

Seasons 1-3 were great, especially with the theme song, Little Boxes. Just so quirky. Season 4 kind of threw us, but still kept up involved in the show.

Several characters disappeared in season 4 and we missed them, but understood why along with the original song being removed. We can't wait for Season 5 to release on DVD. Should be great.

Next series to watch is, In Treatment from HBO.

Sunshine Cleaning

3.5 out of 5

A very cute film starring Amy Adams, Emily Blunt, Steve Zahn and Alan Arkin. A struggling single mother working with her kid sister and father as a huge opportunity comes to her and the shortly blows up in her face.

Amy puts on her bubbly, sweet face as normal, but with some sign of pain here and there. She comes to several realizations when things come head first at her.

Arkin was as hilarious on this film as he was in "Little Miss Sunshine". He clearly works great with kids.

Check this film out. I had never heard of it, but loved it. A nice break from the mainstream.

Our movie group decided to checkout the sequel of Night at the Museum starring Ben Stiller. It was an okay film with the same corny and goofiness as the first film.
I will say that Hank Azaria as Kamunra (spelling) was great. The lisp was hilarious and there is this one scene with Stiller that they go back and forth was too much.

Not sure if I would recommend you seeing this film, but it was good. So check it out if you like.

I was over paid on my paycheck. Just like last year. Now my next two checks will have to be deducted in order to make up for the mix up.

I really hate this time, but I guess I have to deal with it and be glad it doesn't happen every time.

Just once a year. :)

GPS....Wha?

2009-05-08T06:02:00.001-07:00

So I am driving to work the past couple of days and usually I would use my GPS for time purposes.

Well while driving to my destination it would inform me if any traffic trouble, but this time it tells me of a baseball game going on that same day near the area I just past through.

Didn't know this feature existed. Don't know if I signed up for it. Bizarre huh?

So Jen and I don't subscribe to HBO or Showtime, but we love the shows made on them. It started with Sex and The City, which I hesitated on seeing, but really liked it.

We them moved on to see shows like Six Feet Under, The L Word and Big Love. We are currently on The Sopranos, which is a great series and shortly after we will start or continue Dexter.

Renting shows are nice. Definitely cheaper than having a premium channel.

The Visit

2009-04-25T05:41:00.001-07:00

So it has been a while since I've blogged, and I am sorry. Anyways, my mother is planning to visit here for a while (2 months). The reasoning is very understandable. She is having n extremely hard time getting a job up there. Economy hit the Midwest very hard. So since Texas didn't receive as much of a blow she figured that she'd try down here.

I am good with this. I want to help her as my as I physically, mentally and emotionally can. My concerns are that the visit doesn't go bad and doesn't go longer that the allotted time. There is a lot at stake if it does.

I don't know. I'm trying to destress about this. It's not helping with everything else at all. I could be over reacting.

Pray for us ya'll.

So one of my favorite shows have returned, Reno 911! They have lost three people and hired 2 others. It should be good, but I will miss the one who left.

Either way I am stoked that this show has returned. Nice work Lennon and Garant.

Check it out.

A recent conversation with my sister in law on Facebook made miss important pets of mine. She wants to get a guinea pig and was asking me for advise.

The next morning I find myself feeling sad because I miss my geez. I would really love to get another, but things prevent that from happening.

Don't get me wrong. I love Lucas, Bella and Tyson (Cat and 2 Dogs), my first pet love is always for the guinea pig.

Okay, that's enough.

Big Hit

2009-03-27T16:51:00.001-07:00

So my wife is leaving work, looking forward to a nice weekend with her man. She stopped after pulling out of her parking spot and boom! A Suburban backs into her.

Now, Jen is fine, but her baby (the Civic) is in pain. Damn some people and your SUVs. Watch what you are doing. They exchange info and she makes it home as we rant some more about the situation.

We went out for the sweetness of Papa Murphy's and as we were heading back a truck decided that they were going to dart out of a parking lot, but they stopped just as I was approaching. I said "Really?", and Jenny, raising her hand in a pimp like style also says, "Really?". I got a chuckle off of that, but was also pissed that another possible accident was going to happen with a large passenger. Damn you folks.

We really must improve as drivers. Stop being so impatient.

Merger

2009-03-23T23:42:00.001-07:00

So whether or not you knew, I had three blogs although I didn't post much. One was a TV show blog called Sifil & Ollie (My two TiVo units at home), the other blog was Movie Luva Review (self-explainatory), and then this one, Sure As Butta (my main blog).

I decided to merge all three together especially since I, again, don't blog that much although I would like to post more. So there ya go. Probably not that important to most of you, but to the few who did read my blogs, again, there ya go.

Feel free to comment as much as you like and I will try to post as much as I can.

Later..................

So Irving Mall (here in DFW, TX) now has a circus there. That blew my mind because I have never seen a circus tent in a mall parking lot usually it's a carnival. What made it even messed up is that they moved into the parking lot that was being used by Circuit City. This is less than two weeks after they shut down. Man, Irving Mall, couldn't you wait a while longer?

WOW!

For all of those who will check out this event enjoy. I don't know how long they are in town.

Autumn Hurts: Back To Work

2009-03-22T23:13:00.000-07:00

Well, it is time for me to return to work and it will be good to get out for a while. We are doing a TV transition in the stores, but I will be restricted to sit down duty. Let's hope my knee, let alone my leg, does well.

I have a follow up appointment this Tuesday. I hope to chuck one of the crutches after that.

More to come soon.....

L.O.S.E.

2009-03-18T19:28:00.001-07:00

So I have stumbled on a new show on Cartoon Network call League Of Super Evil (L.O.S.E). Very different from your standard superhero/supervillan show. Actually it focus on the day to day life of a group of evil doers led by Voltar, a short creature in a red suite who is fixed on being such an evil dude. The other members include Doktor Frogg, a mad scientist who is also commanded by Voltar to fix an issue. Red Menace is the muscle of the group where the only thing red on him is his hair. Finally there is Doomageddon, a vicious hell hound who actually makes thing more difficult for the league.

I'd say this show is worth a watch for a while. Other than the league being bent on being recognized as being the most evil beings on Earth, it is also funny that they live in suburbia, with their house looking much different than the others.

The shows airs on Mondays at 7e/6c on Cartoon Network with repeats on Fridays and Saturdays. Check it out.
