Name:
Location: Okinawa (Normally Thrilling Thiells), NY, Japan

I am a cool laid back cat that like to be all hip on the fun spots in big cities (I know hot spots in N'orleans and learned of alot in NY). I love to travel and meet new people and just chat for hours as if we are old reunited friends. I am also heavily into movies and AFI's 100. I might want to become a film historian or something like that. I LOVE baseball!! I just cant get enough of it, and there is plenty here in Japan.

First off let me give my condolences to Christie on the loss of her grandfather. I have not heard from her in like a few days so I assume that the wake and funeral have occured already. If not I have to get in contact with her to find out when it is all happening so that I may show support. In the meantime, I offer these words of condolences from something beautifully written which deals with death.

Fill not your hearts with pain and sorrow, but remember me in every tommorow. Remember the joy, the laughter, the smiles, Ive only gone to rest a while. Although my leaving causes pain and grief, my going has eased my hurt and given relief. So dry your eyes and remember me, not as I am now, but as I used to be. Because I will remember you all and look on with a smile. Understand, in your hearts, Ive only gone a little while. As long as I have the love of each of you, I can only live my life in the hearts of all of you.


Now it is time to blog about two movies that I am anticipating seeing this year, besides Matrix Revolutions and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. The two being T3 (with a little bit of reluctance) and Kill Bill. The reason why I say T3 with reluctance is cause there really shouldnt be a sequel. For those of you who have seen the first two should know that skynet, the company responsible for causing the nuclear holocaust, and the rise of the machines, was stopped at the end of T2: Judgement Day (For those of you who havent seen the movies I have given away nothing). As a matter of fact the whole end of T2 is, or should be a paradox. For with the Nuclear War averted and the rise of the machines averted as well, the main leader John Connor, should not exist. Due to the fact that the whole war is averted, there is no reason for John's father, Reese or Kyle, to come back in time and impregnate Sarah Connor. I am sorry if I am going like super geek-wall with the analysis of this but follow it this way. I build a time machine, yaddey yaddey yadda, and I go back in time and impregnate someone lets say in the year 1957 and then return to the present. Now, due to the fact that time NEVER existed before with me exploring the past, my exploring it has caused a rift to form. Or in other words an alternate timeline which can have major/minor changes. Due in part to the fact that this child exists and grows up ALL of time is affected, from educational services to social services etc. As a result it, a time line exists where we move to a different part of the world/country etc. And I wind up studying history instead of building a time machine. Now the question here is this: does the child that was born in the year 1957 exist?? Cause I now have no reason to go back to the past and impregnate his mother. The whole thing just fucks with your head.

Now as far as Kill Bill goes, from the first moment I saw the trailer for this flick I knew that I wanted to see it. A) it is a Tarentino flick and God knows how much I love his works, even Jackie Brown. B) it has that really cool soundtrack which is just so catchy. Nicholas Meyer and George Lucas have both said that it isnt the movie that you remember so much. But it is the combination of the good movie with the soundtrack that makes a movie memorable/enjoyable. Anybody who wants to catch the trailer can do so here: Kill Bill. I mean in some regards it looks a lil ridiculous, like a spoof on Kung Fu movies and the model world. Besides it also has Uma Thurman, that gorgeous blond bomshell, whom it is hard to believe that she actually married Ethan Hawke. But Hollywood have had some stranger unions (Paulina Porizkova and Rick Osevik from the Cars). Also I was happy to see in the trailer that Michael Madsen is also working with Tarentino again in Kill Bill. For those of you that do not know Madsen, he is always playing a happy go lucky pshycotic killer type/tough guy in movies like The Getaway, Reservoir Dogs, and Species. This guy is a truly good actor who gives real feel to the parts that he plays. I recommend that you check out many of his flicks.

Time now for the joke of the day: A lawyer parks his brand new Lexus in front of his office, and as he gets out, a truck passes too close and completely tears off the door on the driver's side.
When a cop pulls up, and the lawyer is screaming hysterically, "My Lexus is completely ruined! It'll never be the same, no matter what the body shop does to it."
The cop shakes his head in disgust, and says, "I can't believe how materialistic you lawyers are. You're so focused on your possessions that you don't notice anything else. You don't even realize that your left arm is missing from the elbow down. It must have been torn off when the truck hit you."
The lawyer says, "My God! Where's my Rolex?"


Thats all yokels. Till next time.
