1st Step in the 12 Step Program

I have osteoarthritis in my left knee. There are also trace amounts of it in my right knee.

I thought I was only 25 years old.

Apparently? 60.

Ignore EVERYTHING but the actual trailer, and I DEFY you to tell me it isn't the greatest thing of ALL TIME.

Best trailer ever, right here.

Here's the answers for the ones people didn't get. And Meg did get the Knocked Up one, I just didn't bother editing the previous post.


2. I bet you guys got a lot of stories, right? I don't. I grew up soft with the private schools and the little blazers, you know, and everyone "talked things out," you know? No one ever threw any blows - still to this day, never punched in the face, imagine that. I'm pretty much a pantywaist. I don't say this to be self-deprecating, I just, you know, don't have much of an opinion of myself.

17. Well, most recently, there's room 309, there's this scary Mexican gangster dude poking his finger in my chest. There's his hooligan kids snapping their fingers at me. There's a putrid, rotting corpse of a dead whore stuck in the springs of the bed. There's rooms blazing afire. There's a big fat needle from God knows where, stuck in my leg, infecting me with God knows what. And finally there's me, walking out the door, right fucking now. Buenas noches.

ROAD TO PERDITION

Everyone's doing this one over on facebook, but since it's one of my favorite memes ever, I've brought it to my LJ. I will lay down this disclaimer, for the "Favorite" movies part, I could fill this list with quotes from Good Will Hunting or Reservoir Dogs or the Godfather, but really, those are too easy. So please, enjoy quotes from some of my other favorite movies that maybe not everyone has seen!

Quotes from 20 of my favourite movies, try and guess the titles. I might get obscure, or even do short little lines, so... please, guess away!

1. And you, I love you, but let's face it you're kind of a douchebag. And going to Japan is not going to fix that. Cloverfield - Katie

2. I bet you guys got a lot of stories, right? I don't. I grew up soft with the private schools and the little blazers, you know, and everyone "talked things out," you know?

5. What is so great about discovery? It is a violent, penetrative act that scars what it explores. What you call discovery, I call the rape of the natural world. Jurassic Park - Corrine

6. Probably guessed we mean to be thieving here but what we're after is not yours. So, let's have no undue fussing. Serenity - Corrine

7. I wish you hadn't shot my girlfriend's dog. Even though Poe and I weren't exactly what you'd call simpatico, that's no reason he should've taken two in the chest

10. Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say yes! Ghostbusters - Everyone

11. - You're seeing him now? Since when?
- My opening last year. I'm disgusting.

Cloverfield made me happy.

That is all.

Francis Ford Coppolla, mastermind behind the camera of the Godfather trilogy, was the executive producer on the Jeepers Creepers movies.

Perspective.

*sigh*

It is now 1am on Friday, and my paycheque is still not in my account.

Minacs, we are most certainly in another fight.

in 24 hours this day will be over.

That is all.

Iron Man trailer looks awesome.

Why isn't it May 2008 right now?

Drew just got a new computer.

He is sadly lacking in music.

To you who read this, it is your job to recommend 10 songs for Drew to download.

GO!

Short review:
- It had flaws
- Smaller flaws than most movies
- Reminiscent of: Alien
- Standouts: Chris Evans (Johnny Storm can act!)
- Cillian Murphey can express so much with his eyes, it's scary.
- edit: Rose Byrne. Didn't notice her in Troy (Briseis, of all characters), but I noticed her in this one. Go figure she's wearing loose fitting clothes and bein' all tom-boyish.
Overall
- Four and a half stars.

Sometimes the lives we life are little more than shells for so much more, so much more that so many of us do not get to experience. It's a sidebar, more than anything. A little here, a little there. Mostly, little. Time will tell when and where, but there, somewhere beyond the limitations of our eyes, it lies. Waiting.

Time to assess the situation. Have I reached the point of no return? Have you? It's never too late to try. Keep reaching, keep trying, and that's when it happens.

Funny, that.

This trailer? The best part of Transformers.

That being said, Transformers is still my favorite summer blockbuster since Jurassic Park.

This weekend was great. I don't think I've ever had so much fun while, simultaneously, feeling completely comfortable in my own skin surrounded by great friends. I'm more thankful for that than I think anyone knows. It was a hoot, in every meaning of the word.

That being said, conversations were had with Greg, Corrine, Matthew and Meg regarding weight, toning, and the like, and these conversations couldn't help but lead me to the conclusion that ever since Clean Slate, I have rested on my laurels vis-a-vis my weight. I allowed myself to go from 180 (which admittedly, wasn't really all that healthy at the time) to where ever the fuck I am now (thankfully, our scale has been broken for quite some time). Complacency is no longer an option.

That being said, with the exception of Atkins (sorry, it just doesn't work for me), does anyone have any *TIPS* about losing weight. The plan as of right now is to do 30 minutes on the treadmill here at home at least five days a week, running and walking alternatively.

I'm looking for excercise tips, meal plans/recipes, anything at all that will help me achieve my goal of being significantly smaller by the time I move out in September.

Hit me up.

I know most of you probably don't care, but today the Wrestling world lost one of its greatest athletes, and one of its most inspirational men, to an as-of-yet unknown tragedy.

Chris Benoit, Canadian by birth though he resided in Atlanta, and his family (a wife and seven year old son) were all found dead this morning in their home. Last article I read said that the police were investigating murder-suicide as a possible cause, which breaks my heart. I find it hard to believe and incredibly sad to think that a man I admired so much could've killed his own wife and son, before killing himself.

Benoit missed both a house show on Saturday and a Pay per view championship match last night after leaving to go back to Atlanta to attend to an unspecified family matter. They were found dead this morning.

I'm heartbroken, and I do hope this great athlete had nothing to do with these deaths.

Every day, every other day there's a little bit more or a little bit less we can see with out eyes, hear with our ears and feel in our hearts. It becomes a nagging when you notice it, and little more than white noise when it leaves our forethoughts. Why? Because it's natural. The leaves will turn brown and fall off the trees. Baby birds will fall from their nests. The occasional surfer will have his leg chewed off by a Great White Shark off the coast of Australia. That Great White Shark is named Bruce, by the way. Like in Jaws.

We always need bigger boats.

Stole this from Serena.

Post. Or I will hunt you down and kill you. Or maybe just... mock you loudly from afar.

We all have things about our friends that make us slightly envious. Not in a bad way, but in a 'Wow! I wish I had that person's hair/eyes/money/relationship/toenails/whatever.'

So tell me what about me makes you envy me. . . then post this in your LJ and see what makes me envious of you.

All I've heard about the VaTech shootings, I've learned from various blogs.

It goes without saying that my prayers and thoughts go out to the families of the victims. It's so strange, to be living in a small town, without a regular newspaper, without cable, you hear nothing about these things.

Why didn't ANYONE tell me THIS EXISTED?!?!?!
