Rambo

Rambo

Wow, I justed watched Rambo and I was pleasantly surprised at the plethora of issues and principles put forth. I’ll have to post more about on this soon, but suffice it to say that third-world plight, pacifism and the use of deadly force, militant fascism, and “who would Jesus punch” were all addressed in [...]

Can you hear my bullets now?

Can you hear my bullets now?

Ahh… the good ole’ call-your-parents-before-a-firefight gag. That one never gets old. In fact, I think I’m going to start ending all my phone conversations with “Incoming! RPG! _click_”.

Iron Man - Great Movie (with just a few gripes by me)

Iron Man - Great Movie (with just a few gripes by me)

I just saw Iron Man at the theater. You’ll read some of my criticisms here, but all in all it was a fun and exhilarating cinematic ride. Oh yeah… minimal spoilers, so relax (in case you don’t read comic books)!
The Acting
This was a pure gem for Robert Downey Jr. as he masterfully filled [...]

Veteran’s Day 2007

Veteran’s Day 2007

I can remember living briefly in Orlando, Florida, and watching a non-amusing TV news piece done inside of a shopping mall on the Monday observance of Veteran’s Day. The news crew had found random school kids wandering the mall on their day off and asked them WHY they had the day off from school. [...]

Grey’s Anatomy With Stormtroopers

I have crazy dreams. I don’t know if it’s from what I eat or drink, but my dreams are more like twisted movies than anything. I’ve decided to periodically post some of the wilder dreams I have.

You may be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of [...]

Knows Right Answer When Told

Knows Right Answer When Told

I received on Facebook the pictured request above… go ahead and click for detail. It was a request from my wife’s Facebook account to confirm that indeed we are married. This is what we would call a “no-brainer”… but it just struck me as quite exceptional to be asked by my wife - [...]

Washington, DC

Washington, DC

I went to Washington, DC recently for a friend’s wedding (sort of - it turns out they actually got married two days prior… which we found out when we got there… so we arrived in time for the post-wedding barbecue… but it seriously was great). Anyways, there was much to observe and ruminate on [...]

If you’re going to be stupid, you have to be smart about it.

If you’re going to be stupid, you have to be smart about it.

Recently an event came to my attention that inclined me to spontaneously spout the following:
You know… if you’re gonna’ be stupid, you gotta’ be smart about it.
I love one-liners, and the poetry of this one rang true in my ears as soon as it left my lips. I quickly Googled to see if anyone [...]

An All-American Friday Night

An All-American Friday Night

Last night I had a true, All-American Friday night. Some have no idea what that means (and probably never will)… and others will roll their eyes because they just don’t understand (and probably never will). You don’t have to be American to have an All-American Friday, as it is part of a transcendent [...]
