Relationships and Love

Not a very dorky subject, but one that is going though my mind nonetheless. Why do we have them? If someone you love just leaves after two years you're crushed and they move on. Why do we allow ourselves to do that? I'm not sure but I think that it should be simpler. I'm also not sure how to make it simpler. It just has to be hard I guess, and that's not fair. We get into these relationships, knowing it'll probably end, but then we get so in love and so sure it'll last forever and then it's gone and our original thought comes true, and it hurts bad. All I can say is "love songs suck and fairy-tales aren't true" -thanks to Bowling For Soup!!

Movies on TV

So riddle me this: why does watching a movie on TV take 45 minutes to an hour longer than simply watching the DVD? Commercials. That's why. But why are they so many commercials? Why do TV channels find it necesary to play 45 minutes of 30 second long advertisements? I know it's technically to "make money" but if they're really that hard-pressed for money, should they even be trying to play that movie? Should they even have a TV channel at all?! Snow White and the Seven Dwarves came on TV tonight...it is 83 minutes long; the TV version was 120. Lord of the Rings 3 is 3 and a half hours long by itself...the TV version was 5 hours!! WTF WHY?!? I guess it's just how life works and I'll probably never understand...

Avatar, Part 2

OK WTF PEOPLE?!? I just heard tell that James Cameron not only is planning the sequal to Avatar (as I mentioned in the last Avatar post) but now is writing a novel that is going to be the prequel to the movie. Seriously what the f*** is there to tell? "um...it's the future...my brother died...now I'm on a new planet..." That's like a one paragraph prequel...AND IT WAS IN THE MOVIE! Ok I didn't really have all that much of a problem with this movie until now, it has gone way too far.

Snow, part 2

Ok so here in Kentucky Mother Nature constantly shows her love for the Ohio Valley by blessing us with different weather conditions seemingly every few minutes. Now we are back under lots of snow all over the state- classes in college were canceled yesterday and today they were on a two hour delay (only it's not really a two hour delay, but that's a different rant). Honestly though it's not even all that bad out...a couple inches and a bit of a wind and that's all...roads are clear and sidewalks are mostly clear as well. I just kinda wish sometimes that good ol' Mother Nature could make her mind. And also...why does it have to be cold to snow?! I LOVE snow! I HATE the cold! Snow is so beautiful, but why does it have to be so doggone cold in order for it to happen? Oh well there's nothing I can do I suppose...

Avatar

Ok so honestly can someone tell me why the hell this movie is so good?!?!? I have seen it twice at this point and I still cannot see why people love it so much. The story was simply Dances with Wolves meet Pocohontas in space and the characters even looked like overgrown smurf versions of the Pocohontas characters. WTF?! The visual effects were ok I guess, other than the fact that so much of the movie was so obviously C.G. that it probably would have gone over in my head if the whole movie had been C.G. rather than trying to mix human people into the mix too because half the time the "humans" were computer generated as well. Now it's up for countless academy awards an I want to know WHY?!?!?!? There is nothing fabulous about this movie...it is simply OK. Plus there are thousands of reports stating that people want to kill themselves because they are either not on Pandora or not Na'vi. Ok once movies take people to this point I frown upon the human race...IT'S A MOVIE!!!! It's NOT real! Sheesh! Ok so honestly now, though it won't sound like it, i don't hate this movie, I simply find it OK, a good way to waste 3 hours of my life with mild entertainment...however I simply cannot fathom why planet Earth has gone completely ape over it. James Cameron, well done I suppose because you have topped all of your Titanic landmarks...you gonna try and top them in Avatar 2? Hey, that'd be a good sequel name: "Avatar 2: Top This, F***ers!!"

Reviving the Dorkiness!

HOLY CRAP! Why has it been so long since I've posted anything?!?!?

Well, I'l fill you in:

Basically a lot of crap happened and so it starts by saying we were snowed in for about a week and then there was our own theatre production of Oliver and I became a dad and so the last 8 months have been spent on that and I was paying attention to a ton of Disney news and now I'm at college with a crap-load of spare time and so hopefully I'll be able to keep up with the blog and (GASP!) that's the skinny!

Ok more posts soon hopefully...

SNOW!!

Ok so this is my first pose in a bit but we are covered in snow here...wtf?? We got a 100% chance of snow and it actually came...schools out the rest of the week...most things are cancelled...in the Ohio Valley this is a big WTF?!?!?

Ok so thats my "snow rant"

:)

Wicked

Ok so last Wednesday I had the pleasure of seeing the show Wicked at the Kentucky Center. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! This show was absolutly incredible it is deffinetly in my Top 5 Shows that I've seen in my life!

For those who don't know, Wicked is the story of how the Wicked Witch of the West (yes from the Wizard of Oz) truly became "wicked." It turns out there's a whole lot more to the story, including how many of the other well-known characters from the Wizard of Oz got to be the way they were. The music in this show is absolutely incredible. My top favorites were deffinetly "Defying Gravity" (probably worth the ticket price alone to see just this number performed live), "The Wizard and I" "No Good Deed" and "Popular." The singing was incredible. Though there seemed to be some mixing and blending issues when more than one person sang at once, that was easily over-lookable. The effects were very nifty including lots of strobe-ish lighting and smoke and flying. Parts of the show were downright hilarious and others were very emotional and sad, and even (gasp!) romantic! I'd encourage everyone to see the show it is worth every cent of the ticket price and you will enjoy very very much.


'Til next time!
