The Dark Knight Rises...

I'm watching The Dark Knight for the umpteenth time and I'm more secure in my belief that Batman Begins was a superior movie. That said, this movie rocks. I can't wait until next summer. 2012 is going to be ridiculous. Between Batman and The Avengers, we're in for an awesome summer. I wanted to do some movie reviews but they are all glowing so I'm just going to tell you that if you are in the mood for an awesome action movie go see Fast Five. It's the best action movie I've seen since the last FF movie. I may be the biggest fan in the world of the franchise, but I took Texas to go see it with me and he wasn't a fan of the first two, liked the second two and loved the 5th. They wrapped it up in a way that it could be over, but kept it open to make more. My dream is that one day I get to pull my kids out of school and take them to see a 50 year old Vin Diesel ripping up the streets.

Go big.

Popsicles...

So last week I found out the perfect way to stop a street canvasser from talking to you. I was walking home from the grocery store when I noticed this girl wearing a bright neon pink t-shirt that said Planned Parenthood on it, holding a clipboard and getting ready to try and engage me. I hate these people. I love Planned Parenthood and support the organization, but god how I hate canvassers. I used to be one. For a day. Actually, it was half a day. I spent one morning training and then during our lunch break, I just dipped. I said I wasn't feeling well and never went back.

So there is no one within 100 feet of me and this girl and she sees me and I see that she sees me so I do the usual look around and act like I'm interested in the motorcycle that just drove by. I keep hoping someone will come up walking faster behind me, but as I get closer she starts waving and motioning for me to take my headphones out. First of all, don't wave at me like you know me. Second, don't tell me what to do. I'm having a good day enjoying my walk, the weather and my music and you're about to stop all of that from happening, so stop smiling. So I reluctantly take out one of my earphones, which is to act like I care but still hold firm in not wanting to talk to her. I then stop her mid-sentence and say, "Sorry. My popsicles are melting," and motion to my bag. She looked shocked that I cared more about my (non-existent) popsicles than helping her murder babies (I kid).

Anyway, I encourage you all to use ice, ice cream, popsicles or even go the opposite route and say your soup is getting cold, when stopped by these faux protectors of the earth.

Go big.

The Three Amigos...

It's been 25 years since the movie came out and it still kills me. Empire did a photo shoot with them and oh how I wish I were there. Steve Martin's autobiography is one of the reasons I continue to try to be a writer. What a bunch of knuckleheads.

I'm still busy with school but I'll get back to regular blogging when I'm done with school and unemployed.

Go big.
