i am going on a spiderman 3 strike. not only will i boycott that stupid movie, but i won't even keep my eyes open whenever a stupid trailer or commercial comes on. why you ask. read on. down with that movie though. and i feel bad for sly because rocky is going to do really bad. rambo i'd see. another rocky is a waste of money.

Flyboys (2006): some guys during wwi are the first to use planes in battle, and cheesy crap in between. inspired by the true story usually means way off. i didn't like how one minute these random people decide to fight in the war and the next minute they are looking for where to report to duty. what happened to all of the characters meeting for the first time? there are lots of times like that where stuff just seems left out. there was this lion that was a pet of one of the pilots, and its special effects were really bad. cheesy moments, cheesy shots. the acting was mediocre except for the french chick that some guy falls for. she is one of the few good things about the movie. there was one scene where a guy is shot down in between the trenches, starts getting bombarded with shells, and some other pilot manages to land and drag the other guy out to save him in the middle of freaking trench warfare!! ridiculous. and by the way, he doesn't even get any commendations for it, however disobeying orders and stealing a plane later on to save some french refugees gets him some ribbon. ridiculous. there is not much to the story. someone probably heard a random wwi fighter pilot story and decided it would be a good movie. so they all sat around a table and said, now lets just think up every scenario possible for a wwi fighter pilot movie to fill in two hours. really cool effects in the air and some really big battle scenes. and the ground and trench perspectives from the air were really cool and believable. but the movie 'wings' did it without computers and 80 years ago. don't see.
C, mediocre

unbelievable. if you were anyone else i'd call you a liar. unbelievable. i was in awe for a few days after i read your email. what was he thinking? if some little wants to be a hussy, then i can see that. but him in his and w/ kids and a wife is just too much. i can't even imagine how they would get away with that. and walking in on them is nuts. he's pretty easy going, but there is no way he would just let something like that go between them. they are both freaking adults. it's fine if they want to get it on, but you are right, be discreet. maybe they were hornier than me in high school, but i could at least keep my in my until i got home. so what exactly happened? found them and went to ? how did find out? as far her , i don't see that going anywhere. that does suck for though. what is he going to do now? what was he thinking?? wasn't his marriage already on the rocks? can't imagine it lasting much longer after all of this. i was talking to (not about this, don't worry, you are the only person i will talk to about it) and said that if he sticks around sooner or later he'll be . but with the shit that goes down there, i wouldn't wish that on anyone. freaking though. and those goofy looking . what a whore. like she didn't know that was married. is she retarded? don't answer that. and is a good guy and i always (for the most part) liked him, but i think it's time for him to take off. needs to someone else to do crap and then take over as . and dump and take over as . you know you want to.

so how is the ? all i have to say is that it's about damn time. and probably not worth all the hoopla we had to go through to finally get it. sorry this took so long to write you back. life is really busy. i hardly have time to write in my blog. =) but i'm still hanging in here (school that is), but just barely. i'm sure in a few months after they kick me out i will be back there asking for . gotta take a nap. talk to you soon.

yeah, that is actually a good reminder for me to get crackin on our own xmas cards. i will probably just throw something together cuz i don't know where i'll find the time to really put any effort into them. what a hassle. is gettin hitched soon. not sure when or where, but she emailed me asking for my address. not sure if i will be able to go. most likely i can't, which is too bad, but what can you do. i will fill you in as i find out more about it. gotta run. actually, gotta sit. later.

i cease to amaze you? i had to think about that for a sec. i can't find on my blog where exactly you left that comment though, so not really sure what awesome opinion of mine you were referring to. i'm sure it was a just a comment about my blog in general. and of course i support hillary. like there is anyone else worth two cents. actually, i think either mccain or giuliani are shoe-ins for the repub nomination. if it's giuliani that gets the ticket, then easily my vote will go to hillary. mccain is a different story however. i've always really liked and respected him. he's moderate enough to bring both sides together like bush never has been able too (or cared to). and to get enough votes i think for the win. so that will be tough. what do you think about the bad korea setting off a nuke? i'm not really up on international laws so far as this subject goes, but is north korea breaking any law that they have agreed to in the past by developing and/or testing these weapons? i'm sure there is some convention or un resolution that prohibits countries from developing nukes, or maybe there is not. but why does the bad korea have to do what the un says? or anyone? maybe all of this is way over my head, but i just don't see the logic in us condemning them, when we have enough of these weapons to kill every human being not in a bunker a mile into the earth. or our buddies in israel. did we condemn india or pakistan? and granted they were less of a threat than n korea has been, but a nuke is a nuke, of course of course. it just seems inevitable that over time and as technology pushes along, if a country wants a nuke, they will get one. and as time goes on, nuclear annihilation seems more and more likely. i guess another cold war could go into affect involving numerous countries, but it's just prolonging what is just bound to happen. i can't see anyway to get rid of the problem. and we have no one to blame but ourselves. good job u.s. way to go germany and ussr. we set our destruction in motion over 60 years ago. now it's just a matter of time it seems. i'm just rambling now.

so yeah dood, any more news on your move here? i never got to talk to you about cost of living here. let's see, car washes are like $2 more than in utah. gas is more expensive. you will probably pay a couple hundred more dollars a month in rent than you would in utah county. we pay about a thousand a month for a two bedroom, but it's a nice two bedroom. the freeways are decent, but get busy like anywhere. really good public transportation though. top notch. lds temple in littleton area which is kind of southwest of denver. westminster was named the 24th most livable place in the nation for cities between 50,000 and 300,000 people i think, so i would definitely recommend moving there. and there are a ton of chipotles (burritos man), which is definitely a plus. what else do you want to know? that's all i can think of for now. are you still coming to check the place out? let me know if you are and i can see about meeting up with you. hope everything is good with you. tell your baby's mama hello for me. talk to you soon.

remember to breathe...and everything will be okay. that's what i tell myself. actually it's just a dashboard song that's on my ipod right now and so i thought i should respond to your email. do we know a ? sounds familiar. anyway, i have that thermals cd on my dining room table waiting to mail out. sometime soon. going to see yo la tengo tonight. they are this indie band that's been around for years. really good stuff. can't wait for that. and this friday i'm going w/ kim and ryan to see single file. they actually get radio play here in denver which is kind of weird/cool. tons of hw too. i have a couple quizzes this week and a midterm next tuesday. things are getting pretty real right now. but i still see no way that i can pass econ/finance. that class is just too ridiculous. . pretty excited about that as you can imagine. what else...got a new cell phone cuz my brother's dog chewed mine up. taking a vacation anytime soon? you should come to d-town. it's cold here though. currently it's 38 and overcast. saturday was totally sunny and hot out, and now this. oh well. . but i can graduate in dec of '08 at the earliest, which is so long to wait. so at the moment, are my best friend. my running is doing better and is less painful. i got new shoes so that really helps. and i make the time to stretch more before and after. now it's just getting too cold out for me to keep doing it. i went out yesterday and it was low 40s and was really hard. but two days ago i ran a little over 4 miles, nonstop in 37 minutes, so i was really happy about that. and don't say that about knee surgeries. that is terrible. i don't even want to imagine that. my knees are aching right now just thinking about it. boulder sometimes floods, but i haven't heard of it flooding since i've been here. haven't seen anything like that. kim is crazy worker lady. she just got back two days ago from a week long trip in slc. it gets lonely while she is gone and really boring, but i do seem to get a lot more done. but i think i bug my people more out here when she is gone, looking for things to do. sucks didn't get his $ back. i would be pissed too, but not so much at but at myself. what was he thinking?! i've glanced over the legal stuff going on with them and it seems like in the end they are going to try and split whatever funds are leftover to each investor. and it seems like it will be all split evenly, which is weird but maybe the only way the can do it. not getting my hopes up, but that would be pretty cool i think. good for people that lost like only $100, bad for peeps that lost like $30k. but honestly i'm not expecting anything. so you leave in two days for co. that's pretty sweet. get ready for cold weather. my mom took a trip to glenwood for a while and stayed at the hot springs place. said it was pretty cool and blah blah blah. her's required clothes so i guess it's not as cool as yours, but sounded like she still had fun. i got lots of econ to make up so i better go. . this thing just isn't the same without . lucky you, unlucky me. have a sweet ass day. also, what do you think yoga has done for you so far? that's all.

later,
mr. college grad, who is still in college.
