The Oscars are coming up this week so I have decided to put up my predictions because I'm board and I have actually seen most of the movies nominated this year so I'll give my opinion on each nominee than who I think should win.
AMERICAN SNIPER- I will say I thought this was a good movie, but I never want to see it again. It was pretty intense with it's scenes of war which included children being tortured. I'm not saying don't see for sure go see it, I'm just saying one time is enough.
BIRDMAN- I must say that this movie is truly original. This movie is bat crap crazy and left me saying what did I just watch. When you add in the ending that is very much open to interpretation it is easy to see this movie isn't for everyone. I personally liked it and recommend it but be warned if you see this movie you might feel different than me.
BOYHOOD- I will say this was a very interesting idea to take the same actors and film them through 12 years. For what it is it works. Richard Linklater is a good director and he proved it once again. Go see this movie. With that being said there wasn't really a plot. Basically this movie is equivalent to if you were to find a six year old kid and just watch his life until he entered college and then said okay now I'm not going watch this person anymore. So spoiler alert I don't think this one deserves best picture.
GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL- This movie is funny,quirky, and all around enjoyable just like most Wes Anderson movies. Although I don't think it's his best I really love this movie and recommend it.
THE IMITATION GAME- This film was ok. It had good acting but the paced seemed slow. If the idea was to make the main character seem very unlikable to the point that you really don't care what happens to him than mission succeeded. It wasn't like that was the only team working on breaking codes, Also no matter what the film would have you think I doubt think them breaking the code single handedly one the war. I honestly would have been more interested in a movie involving the horrible treatment of homosexuals in England at that time and what brought about change of those laws. The movie just seemed to barley touch that part of the main characters life at the end. See the movie or don't it won't change your life
SELMA- I will start off by saying this is a good film with good acting and you should see it. The thing is this could have been great not just good. I have four faults in this movie that might make someone mad since this seems to be the untouchable movie everyone should love, but this is my opinion. First I would like to say I wanted to see more of the story of Dr. King and not just one event. Second I felt like the movie purposely wasn't accurate on all history. One big example is it basically said that Hoover made it up and that wasn't King on the recording. That's ridicules Hoover was a prick who taped all kinds of people. He had enough tape on King he didn't have to make something up. King was a great man but just like all people he wasn't perfect. If you don't want to look at the bad parts of his life that's fine, the man did plenty of good to focus on. Just don't make up history. Third I felt like they introduced so many people you couldn't remember who was who. And last I felt like the movie tried way to hard to play on your emotions one example was the first scenes with showing the church burning. The thing is what Dr. King did for this country is powerful enough there no need to make you feel a certain way.
THEORY OF EVERYTHING- This is a good film with good acting if your interested in Stephen Hawking's life than watch it
WHIPLASH- This is a great movie good acting, and a good story I don't think it will win best picture but you should see it you won't be disappointed
AND THE WINNER IS................... BIRDMAN.

Movies for Christmas
Hey guys I know I suck at posting new things but the good news is
I'm posting something right now! In this post I'm not going to rant or
rave, or even tell anything I can mark off my Bucket List which I am
waiting to the end of the year and will just tell everything I've
accomplished at one time. You may ask what are you going to write about.
Well for those who know me you know I'm a huge nerd. One of my big nerd
qualities is knowing more about movies than the average person would.
So I decided being close to Christmas you may be looking for a good
movie to watch about the holidays so to help you out I have put together
a list of what I think are the best Christmas movies and why I feel
that way.
Before I start this list I want to say it was hard to pick 20 movies because there's so many terrible Christmas movies such as Christmas with the Kranks, Surviving Christmas, Deck the halls, and Four Christmases to name a few. These movies are all movies I have seen so if there is a movie that you feel should be on here there's a chance it does but I just haven't seen it. These movies are not in order of best to worst. I have chosen to put them in rating order so you can get an idea if these are movies to watch with the whole family or not. Which brings me to my next point some of these films are sick,twisted,raunchy, or all three. If there's a film you find offense than don't watch it. Please don't comment on how you can't believe I'd put a movie like that on this list because Christmas is a time for happy stuff or things like that. If you don't like a movie on this list don't watch it there are plenty of good family films on this list. Anyway without further waiting here's my list
1. It's a Wonderful Life (G) 1946
I saw this film believe it or not for the first time Christmas 2009. I was visiting some friends in Singapore. They didn't arrive until the next day so I was at the guesthouse by myself and didn't feel like going out. All that was there was a VHS player and a few films one being this movie. I watched it and instantly fell in love with this great movie. It's the story a man who decided that his life would be better if he wasn't born. So an angel shows him what a life without his birth would look like.
Reason to Watch- It's just all around a great movie. The story is good and heart warming, Jimmie Stewart and Donna Reed star both amazing at acting, and you can watch it with the whole family which makes it an all around great movie
2. Miracle on 34th Street (G) 1947
This is one that I can remember watching as a kid on TV this is also a favorite of my mom's so she would watch it at Christmas time. It's basically about a man who claims he's Santa they institutionalize him and a lawyer fights for the guy in trail claiming he's the real deal.
Reason to watch it- Besides the fact that it's a good family film. I would have to just point out it's a movie where they put a man on trail for being Santa Clause what more can I say to make a plea for this movie.
3.Holiday Inn (G) 1942
This is another one I didn't see until later. It was 2010 when I saw this one. I friend told me to check it out. I was surprised how much I loved this one especially the music. The main plot is I man who gets the boot from his girlfriend and is basically betrayed by his friend opens a club that is only open to celebrate the holidays.
Reason to watch it- Once again good family film with good acting. Also one of the songs is the beloved song White Christmas. I do need to point out for Lincoln's birthday there is a song and dance number in black face which is pretty stinken funny. Understand the reason it's funny is because it was unintentional racism in the since it wasn't done out of hate or spite which would make it not only not funny but not on this list. The whole reason for the black face is actually to disguise a woman's face I can't say more or I'd start telling parts of the plot. There is also a black lady who is the the house keeper. This is a very stereotypical character. The thing is now we can look back at a movie like this and see the ignorance and also see although things are still not perfect how far we have come from the racism of the past.
4. The Muppet Christmas Carol (G) 1992
I love this movie I can remember being a kid and seeing it with my dad at movies. It was one of those movies both of us could enjoy and has remained one my dad and I can enjoy together even now. The plot is basically Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol but with Muppets.
Reason to watch it- As I said above it's a Christmas Carol told by Muppets I mean is there a better reason than this?
5. Home Alone (PG) 1990
I could talk about this movie forever I saw this one in theaters also and it became one of my favorites.The plot is basically a family gets on a plane headed to Paris when they realized we might have left something oh yeah we forgot our 8 year old Kevin. But don't feel to bad for Kevin he may be home alone but he befriends an old creepy guy who everyone thinks killed his family but turns out to be a normal and nice man who walks the street with a shovel. Not everyone wants to be Kevin's friend and he is forced to torture a pair of criminals who try to break into his house.
Reason to watch it- I am well aware my description of this movies makes it sound different than it is but I dare you to watch this movies and find any part of my description that is false. That being said the other reason to watch it is Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern as the wet Bandits and John Candy makes an appearance. These reason alone should be enough but if it's not this movie also is a great resource for learning how to stop burglars from breaking into your house by using everyday household objects and that's just a great lesson for all.
6.Home Alone 2 (PG) 1992
I love this movie I realize it's basically the same thing as part one but it was still a childhood favorites. My uncle worked at a movie theater and he gave me this poster that looked like a wanted poster and it said escaped Wet Bandits I wish I still had it. Basically the plot is Kevin's parents forget him again because apparently they are awful people this time in New York. But Kevin manages to stay in a luxury hotel until they find out he has his parents credit card but is there alone so he leaves the hotel goes to his aunts and uncle's house. They are gone but he stays there. While doing this Kevin befriends a crazy bird lady who turns out to be nice just like the creepy shovel guy from the first one. Guess who also happens to be in New York the two criminals from the first movie. This time they plan to rob a toy store of money for orphans. Since my guess is Kevin has a a soft spot for orphans and toys he once again beats up the criminals and saves the day.
Reason to watch- First off for the moral lessons. Lesson 1 crime doesn't pay if you commit a crime a 9 year old child will beat you up. You hear that children who are reading this if you see a crime being committed the best thing you can do is take it into your own hands like Kevin. Lesson 2 don't judge people. Crazy people walking down the street are really nice people so the next time you see a man with a shovel in his hand talking to himself or a woman covered in birds make friends give them hug maybe invite them to stay with you because there's no way it would end bad. Other reasons for this movie It's funny, Stern and Pesci are back, and the hotel staff is played by Tim Curry aka that transvestite from Rocky Horror Picture Show and Rob Schneider aka that short guy who's always with Adam Sandler
7. Elf (PG) 2003
Ok a have to start with a confession I can't stand Zooey Deschanel. I don't find her attractive I think she's weird looking with an annoying voice and she's not funny at all. Also what's up with that cutesy weird act she puts on. No one can be that weird and if she is she should be in a mental institute not making movies. I know I just got a little mean but I just don't understand how she is so popular. Anyway the point is this is a movie a like even though she is in it. If you haven't seen this movie it's about a human who was raised by elves and once he realizes he's a human leaves the North Pole to find his father in New York who works for a book company and is also on the naughty list.
Reason to watch- Because if you don't see this film you are depriving yourself of a modern classic. I admit when this film came out I was in college and like every other college guy at the time was convinced that Will Ferrell was the funniest man alive. I don't dislike Farrell now but my ideas of comedy have broaden since then. I say that to say even with my changing point of view I still love this movie. The reason why is you can watch it with your family. Also Ferrell's childlike portrayal of Buddy the elf who has never been seen the human world so everything is amazing is not only funny but also fun to watch as he figures things out. Like when he sees I sign that says worlds greatest cup of coffee(which obviously is just a marketing tool and not truly the worlds greatest coffee) he goes to congratulate the store on their achievement This innocence in the charter makes him really likeable. The other reason are James Caan and Bob Newhart are both in this movie two great actors so with all these reasons if you haven't seen it see it now you will thank me.
8.Ernest Saves Christmas (PG) 1988
I remember being a kid and loving the Ernest movies I honestly can't remember a whole lot from this film but it's on here because It's a Ernest movie and I still enjoy Ernest. The plot is Ernest a lovable goofball tries to help Santa find a replacement.
Reason to watch- Because it's a goofy mindless movie and sometimes it's good to watch those kind.
9. The Santa Clause (PG) 1994
I remember seeing this one in the theater with my parents and my little brother It's another fun movie. The plot is a man accidentally kills Santa Clause then makes the mistake of putting on Santa's suit which turns him slowly into Santa by making him really fat and old looking.
Reason to watch- Ok once again I have made the movie sound horrible when I described the plot I promise it's not as bad as it sounds it is ok for kids. You should see this movie because it is pretty good and you learn the lesson of if you find Santa's suit just lying around somewhere or because you killed him leave it be unless you want to become old and fat and live in the North Pole which is a cold place to live I imagine.
10. Jingle All The Way (PG) 1996
This is a movie that gets panned alot but I really enjoy it. The plot is a dad waits until the last minute to try to get the most popular toy which a action figure called Turbo Man he then spends the rest of the movie in compettion with a mailman to find a Turbo Man action Figure.
Reason to watch- My main argument for this movie is Arnold Schwazenegger. I personally think that because of his accent anything he is in is gold. Think about the plot of Kindergarten Cop it's not that good. Anyone else in the role would have made it a forgettable movie but Arnold's butchering of the English language gives us lines like "it's not a tumba" which of course is Arnold's way of saying tumor. Just like Kindergarten Cop Arnold's accent is in full swing in this film. Another reason is Arnold fights everyone from Mini Me, The Giant who is a wrestler for WWE, and my favorite fight Arnold vs Sinbad. This fight is the best I can't think of a more worthy opponent than Sinbad. Also the late Phil Hartman is in it. He truly was a funny comedian.
That's it for now I will put the next 10 up in the next few days. The first 10 were all family films these next 10 even though some PG will start to stray away from Family friendly

Random thoughts Part 1 The Razorbacks
Ok it's been awhile since I've written. I don't even know if anybody reads this anymore but it's cool I like putting my thoughts down so I can look back and remember stuff. So first off this is a long post It's me doing what I do which is rant about random things that come to mind. This post is a rant on three things if you can't tell by the title. I will warn you I'm going to speak my mind and say whatever I'm thinking if that scares you or you're what some social circles call a wet blanket. You've been warned I'm bizarre and so this post shall be as well.
First Let's talk about the Arkansas Razorbacks. After the last two games all I can say is what the crap is going on!!!!!!! Note that I'm upset by the many exclamation points. I want to point out I'm not a wish-washy fan who turns from their team when they are loosing. I love the Hogs you will hardly ever hear a negative word come from my mouth when they don't do so good I'm the first to defend them. When I lived overseas I taught people how to call the Hogs. I even had cable and watched the Hogs in a bowl game when I lived in Asia. To pump myself up before this season I was singing the Arkansas fight song. I even wore my Hogs shirt after we lost to Louisiana-Monroe to show I was still a Hogs fan. I love the Hogs so much that when I sweat it smells like bacon. Ok that last one could be more of a medical thing maybe I should get that checked out but point is I love the Razorbacks.
So now that we have talked about my loyalty let's look at the last 2 games. Louisiana-Monroe I still stick by we had some injured players and our quarterback getting hurt was the final blow to us losing. I will point out we were winning before his injury. It was a tough lose but I had full faith we would come back. In my heart I knew we could not hang in the next game which would be against the powerhouse Alabama. But 52-0 that isn't a game that's a massacre. I feel pretty confident a high school team could have gone in there and had a better game than that against the Tide. I feel really bad for our quarterback Tyler Wilson this is his last year to play he misses two games and one was bad the other was slobber knocker.
I won't be watching the game because I couldn't stand to see them loose again it would break my heart. I'm thinking they will win but with this record I'm very afraid. If they lose I will officially be done for the season. I've come up with a list of 10 things I'd rather do this Saturday than take a chance of watching my Hogs loose again.
1.Watch Bama play at least then I can see a team win.
2. Stare at the sun
3.Play as the Hogs on NCAA 2013 so I can see them win.
4. Dance and I'm a terrible dancer
5.Eat cake (no real reason this is on here I just like cake)
6. Gear up for Hogs basketball season
7. Work on my suck it speech I'll give to all the people who counted us out if we end up winning every game from now on.
8.Dream about our glorious season we will have next year/
9. Watch real futbal.
10. Come up with a list that's not as crappy as this one because I'm making this one up as I go.
I guess I'll end on that note I know I said three things but since this was so long I'm dividing this post into 3 parts I promise parts 2 and 3 coming real soon. Goodbye for now and Go Hogs beat Rutgers please.

I got a new post here!!!
So it's been awhile since I wrote but it's been hard with school going on and no interwebs for awhile but I'll try to hit the high points of my life. Also I'm working on the Bucket List but will save that for another post. First I want to talk about my 4 weeks of awesome. I'll hit the highlights, I wore a sweater vest one day it was pretty sweet I looked amazing I might start wearing sweater vest from time to time. Also I did the Mormon look one day you know black pants, white shirt, tie pretty spiffy. The two best days were the days I wore a disco shirt and golf shoes. Then for my final day I wore a poncho and a sombrero to class. My professor stopped class just to say hola to me.
Now that I have the 4 weeks of awesome recap out of the way I want to share some random thing from May and April that happened. First I want to talk about my awesome trip to McDonald's. I ordered some double cheese burgers and the bun was completely burnt. I mean charcoal looking it looked as someone had thrown the burgers in a bonfire. Which leads me to two questions, Why were they toasting my burger buns and How does someone not notice a black burger bun when they are wrapping a burger. How stupid can you be? I took them back and all they said was I'll get a new one. Seriously that's all you have to say? No I'm sorry or how does this happen but instead you give me nonchalant I'll get you a new one I mean how many times has this happened that it's no longer surprising? I'm not surprised though because McDonald's hates my family I've decided. My mom once ordered a Quarter pounder no cheese. When she opened it I t was just a bun no meat, no trimmings just a bun. Another time my brother ordered a apple pie bit into it and there was a block of wood inside it. Seriously how do you not noticed a block of wood when you are baking a pie? That is why I say McDonald's must hate my family. Which I say screw you McDonald's I'm going to Burger King.
Next on the way back to Arkansas from North Carolina I wasn't watching my gas gauge good and all the sudden my gas light dinged. I started to get scared because for the next 20 miles there was no gas stations in any of the towns but there were not one but two Adult shops. Which makes me say really who says you know I could put a gas station here but you know what people really want is porn and sex toys that they have to drive to get to and risk getting spotted instead of just getting the stuff off the internet. Yeah no one says that because an adult store in a rice field is stupid.So random persons in Arkansas that owns those stores if you read this put a gas station up for dumb people like me who don't check their gas gauge.
Last thing before I go is I want to put my newest misheard lyric on here. For those who don't know I miss hear lyrics a lot so from time to time I'll put some misheard lyrics up. The song a miss heard was Company Car by Switchfoot. If you don't know this song then check it out it's cool.
my lyrics: I got the company car I'm the one singing at Tupelo bar.
Real lyrics: I got the company car I'm the on swinging at two below par.
Ok I'll do one more if your my friend you know this if not get ready. It's from the song Because of you by Kelly Clarkson.
My lyrics: Because of you I never swam to far in the ocean
Real Lyrics: Because of you I never strayed to far from the sidewalk.
Ok that's all I got I'm out check back for new posts

4 weeks of awesome
It's that time again when I just start thinking of random crap and then I let it flow on to this blog aka a new post. I guess I'll begin with talking about my idea for the next 4 weeks. Anyone who knows me knows I'm a random person I have no method to my madness I just do whatever I feel to be a good idea at the time and hope it's actually as cool as it seemed in my head. My newest idea is simply being titled 4 weeks of awesome. What this means is for 4 weeks I'm going to have a different theme each week on what I wear. The reason I came up with this is anyone who knows me knows I'm the most chill person in the world on some things. One of these things is the way I dress. I pretty much like to wear t-shirts and jeans or shorts depending on the weather and sandals. It's safe to say I'm a fashion nightmare. For 3 of the 4 weeks I'm going to try a little self improvement. The last week is just going to be out there. So if you know me and see me dressing different now you know why. I'll make brief description of each week for you so you'll know what's going on from week to week
Week 1- This week I'll be wearing nice dress cloths which will include khakis, dress shirts, dress shoes, ties, and sweater vests. this could be the most shocking week because I've never worn a sweater vest so even I'm a little nervous.
Week 2- This week I'll wear my button up shirts that are more causal and not as dressy I might even wear jeans with them.
Week 3- this one is not as big of a deal I'm just changing my style a little from t-shirts to polo shirts.
Week 4- This week I'm calling the wtf is he wearing week. I'm not sure what I'll be wearing but it will be crazy everyday and I have some crazy costumes we'll just see what happens this week all I can say is be afraid be very afraid
I guess that's good for today at the end of each week I will give a report of how the week went and how people responded so check back often and be ready because you never know where my randomness might take me.

First thing I can cross off my bucket list
Ok so I'm writing this post because one of my bucket list items have been completed as of 2 days ago. This item is number 132 have a fan club with at least 50 members. I got a link on Facebook to my fan page which has 112 members.As of now one thing on the list down only 149 t0 go. To celebrate I'm going on a huge rant.
Ok here's the deal I really want to see the movie 21 Jump Street. The reason I haven't is because of that worthless excuse of an actor Channing Tatum. In my opinion he is the worst actor ever. I know some people are like your just jealous. This is not true I know he's better looking than me and can probably get more women in a day than I could my entire life. This is the chain of life the good looking get by based on hotness and the rest of us get by through our talents. The problem is Channing has no talent and shouldn't be rewarded with more movie roles. Woman you can't really tell me you enjoy his movies. If he looked like fat Jonah Hill but had the same acting skills you would not watch his movies. If you want to ogle over him get a calender don't support his movies.
I understand the appeal of him. Men have a version of Channing it's Olivia Munn. Olivia is hot and I would say most of the male population would agree but as hot as she is she can't act. This doesn't mean she can't be on tv. She unlike Channing found her niche and that is being on G4 as a host. She didn't have to do anything but go to things like Comic Con ask some easy questions and look hot. The nerds in return show her love because it's as close as most of them will ever get to finding that mythological woman who is hot,loves video games,and wants to take vacations to Sci Fi conventions. But when Munn tried her hand at real acting like the Daily show she failed. Some of you might say the Daily show isn't that basically just interviewing people. No it's more than that it's satire. To do that you have to have comedic timing which she did not,all she had was looks. Don't get me wrong there are many good looking people out there with talent and comedic timing I'm just saying Munn and Channing do not posse those qualities so watch there interviews buy their calenders but please I beg of yo don't watch their movies. Stand with me against this horrible travesty of them getting lead roles over people who can actually act.
To finish my random babble I will leave you with a break down of Channing movies to show how bad of an actor he is.
1. Coach Carter- Wow he's so forgettable I didn't know he was in this movie. This movie is only good because of Samuel L Jackson
2. Supercross- to be fair this movie took a collaboration of bad acting such as Aaron Carter to be as terrible as it was.
3. War of the Worlds- it's fitting the worst Spielberg film (yes I would say worse than Indiana Jones 4) would have Channing in it. Note besides these 2 films everything Spielberg does is amazing
4. Havoc- This movie is so bad all I can remember is it's one of a billion films where Anne Hathaway gets naked.
5. She's the man- This is the first time I can recall saying wow this guy is a bad actor.
6. A guide to recognizing your saints- didn't see but despite Channing it looks like it could be good.
7. Step up- did anyone truly like this film
8. Battle in Seattle- to be fair I didn't know this was a movie so can't hate on it.
9. Step up 2- all I can say is really.
10. Stop-loss- I actually enjoyed this one Channing wasn't in it enough to ruin it.
11. Fighting- All I can say is thank you Channing for proving you can make a film about underground street fighting boring without trying to. I didn't think it was possible.
12. Public Enemies- Chaniing probably thanked his lucky stars he was in a well written,well directed movie with 2 great actors Depp, and Bale. These factors forgave his bad acting in an otherwise good film.
13. G.I. Joe- This movie was so bad I can't talk about it out of respect to the cartoon.
14. Dear John- Boring!!
15. The Dilemma- to be fair this was a conscience effort on everyone involved in the film for it to be as bad as it was.
16. The Son of No One-Never seen it but on the cover Channing is sporting an amazing creeper mustache
17. The Eagle- I refuse to see this one looks to terrible.
18. Ten year- No clue about this one never heard of it.
19. Haywire- Haven't seen it but it looks like it could be ok
20. The vow- it's a not funny 50 first dates
21. 21 Jump Street- We'll see
22. G.I. Joe part 2- I'll admit I have hi hopes for this movie but my question is if you want to revamp a movie franchise why would you bring back the worst actor from the first movie?
23. Magic Mike- This film has both Channing and Munn!!! By no means should anyone see this film. It's fitting that this movie is in 2012 because it might be a sign of the Apocalypse.

More crazy things in my life
Ok so first off I want to put the link down I told you guys to check out on my last post http://mesothelioma.com/blog. A couple crazy things have happened in the last week but those who know me won't be shocked because strange things happen to me all the time I think sometimes people hangout with me just to see what will happen and I can't blame them weirdness follows me. So I know I ramble and sometimes even I can't follow my posts because I've gone off in left field. So to keep some order I will share 3 things and that's it today.
First thing I want to bring up is something that happened the other day at Sam's Club. My friend Andrew and I went there to eat. I know that is pretty cheap of us but when your poor $1.50 hot dog Coke combo is the greatest thing known to man. So after we ate we were looking around and we saw a huge umbrella and under the umbrella was a patio set. We were joking about how cool it would be to buy one and set it outside my apartment because it would take up the whole yard space. All the sudden this cougar appeared if you don't know what cougar is the urban dictionary defines it as A strong, sexy woman approximately 40-55 years old who prefers younger men. I agree with this definition except for one thing sexy because everyone has a different view of sexy so there's no way to measure that. Anyway this cougar (who had so much work done she looked like Joan Rivers), came over and started talking about how much she loves the umbrella and how she was thinking about buying one. As she began talking 2 things became clear one she didn't care at all for the umbrella and two she was after Andrew I could have been chopped liver. This is ok with me and also I can see why. Andrew always dresses nice he looks like he's a member of a country club. I on the other hand dress as if I just woke up and am wearing what I slept in. It's because basically I wear t-shirts, jeans and Sanuks most of the time. That my be why cougars hit on Andrew and I tend to get the more weird,crazy,or drunk woman hitting on me. Anyway this woman is really just going on about this umbrella to Andrew. I mean nobody gets that enthused by an umbrella. Then she started she pulled out the big moves as she talked she began to rub the pole of the umbrella with her hands in a suggestive way. Then she said look how easy it is to fold down and she began to crank the umbrella folding it down. She did this bending down making sure you could see down her shirt. I almost lost it there that's not right I mean that woman was old enough to be Andrew or mine mom gross. Then she pretended like she couldn't crank it back up and had Andrew help her crank it I think so she could get help from here strong man. After that Andrew was like I don't think I'll buy this today and we walked off it was insane I still can't believe it happened.
Second thing is yesterday I walked outside and there was a cake on my doorstep it said congrats Kelly. Ok first thing is who's Kelly? Neither my roommate or neighbors or myself is named Kelly. I feel bad for Kelly they never got their cake now they may never know how much they are truly appreciated sad times for Kelly. Next thing I want to know is who the crap puts a cake on someones door and just leaves it? There is no scenario that this would be a good idea. It was in the 70's yesterday the cake melted by the time I saw it which was at 3pm so who knows how long it was there. All I know is Kelly you might need new friends because the ones you have aren't very bright. That's pretty much the whole story found a cake on my porch.
Last I just have to share my excitement of Saved by the Bell being on Netflix! I mean this was my favorite show as a child. Now I can relive all the great moments such as Screech trying to put moves on Lisa, Zach and his big cell phone, and let's not forget the awesome music from the band Zac Attack. Anyway no one else may care but when I saw it on Netflix all I could say is I'm so excited I'm so excited I'm so ...... scared.
