Alright so I guess I am going to try blogging routinely again...at someone's urging! hehe  I have tried multiple times and failed, but "when in doubt try and try again." ... I think that's how that quote goes...eh, who knows. :P  (look I even changed the color scheme and stuff too ;D)

So, today I had the day off.  It was a really relaxing day.  I slept into 11 (yea, I know...I'm a bum), then hung out with my uncle, cousin and cousin's kids (nephew and niece in-laws?).  I ran around with them for awhile and played a exciting game of "jail bird" (lol well that's what I call it...basically just tag where you take them to jail when you tag them, then they escape and it starts all over again).  Ha kids, a gotta love them?  I like hanging around and messing around with kids...then I can let the kid inside of me come out :P  Whenever a kid is shy (which most are at first), I find it as a challenge in order to get them to smile or laugh and come play a game or something so I try to be as goofy as possible haha.  Needless to say one of my nephews-in-law was really shy to me at first, but that passed quickly, and by the end he was playing the game with everyone else and calling me "King Kevin" and gave me a hug when he left haha kinda cool...maybe everyone should call me King Kevin?? lol jk don't think anyone would go for that :P And plus it would probably annoy me after awhile.

Well, anyway, needless to say after running around for a hour or so with them I was tired and ready to take a nap lol.  But, I didn't.  Instead, I decided to go see a movie.  For some reason moviefone didn't show anything except War of the Worlds playing at the theatre.  I knew that was wrong so I figured I'd just go and try to catch something.  Well, I got there at 2:00 and nothing was playing until 3:40 so I was just going to walk around the mall until the movie started. 

Instead I ended up going to circuit city and bought like 6 or 7 movies, a magazine at some magazine stand, and ice cream from cold stone creamery (Man that place is good!). 

Movies. $70. Magazine. $6. Ice Cream. $3.  Some good eats and something to do for the next couple days. Priceless.  There are some things money can't buy, for everything else there's mastercard.

So, after all that I ended up just watching "Rainman" at home.  Pretty good movie.  Good Story, good acting, etc. And I have 5 other movies to watch tomorrow and over the weekend! (Dog Day Afternoon, Taxi Driver, Airplane, The Transporter, and The Untouchables)  Anyone see them?  I dunno...I just really watching the old movies, the classics, etc.  The stories of movies were alot better back then even though the special effects and stuff are better now...

Well so I watched that, then just laid around for a bit, then headed to my young adults group at church.  But, alas, there was vacation bible school there so the group wasn't meeting.  So I came back home, got my butt kicked at cribbage by my uncle and cousin, had greaaaaat bbq chicken and corn (my uncle is a goooood cook) and then went to play basketball at the gym.

And now I am sitting here at 2:30am having chatted and messed around on the net for the last 2.5 hours.  A couple good conversations with Van and Marina, so well worth it.

And the best thing about my day...even though I just summarized it in a 1000+ words I didn't accomplish anything at all haha ... and tomorrow I get to do it all over again.  I think I am going to go see "The Island" in the morning...haha, well 11...that's still morning right? :P

k...let's see...a quote to end with...

We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave, to every living heart and hearth-stone, all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature. -Abraham Lincoln

I just watched "The Village":

It didn't look interesting at all when I saw it in theatres and it's one of the movie's I figured that I would rent on DVD when it came out if I wanted to see it.  When it came out on DVD I still wasn't really interested in seeing it.  Everyone I talked to didn't like it at all.  I guess the whole problem was that everyone expected it to be a horror/suspense flick and it ended up being a big let down.  Adding to the letdown was the fact that the movie was done by M. Night Shayamalan, who wrote the screen play for and directed "The Sixth Sense", "Signs" and "Unbreakable", so everyone had high expectations and it didn't turn out to be what they were expecting.  Anyhow, so yea it didn't appeal to me at first. 

Then I heard from someone, forget who, that it was a love story and it was actually pretty good once you got passed the fact that it wasn't really of a horror movie or suspenseful.  This kinda intrigued me and I figured that I would rent it.  Now I kinda had high expectations for the movie knowing that it was a romance and kind of a different storyline.  So back to where I was before...I just watched "The Village"...here are my thoughts on it throughout the movie:

first quarter of the movie:  okay, story development...this doesn't seem too bad...kinda weird, but interesting...we'll see where it goes from here...

second quarter of the movie:  alright this storyline is different, but I am getting bored and tired...zzz... -closed eyes for a minute-...wake up, wake up, this might get interesting ... so now I am watching again in anticipation of what's going to happen...

half-time: people keep calling me...

third quarter of the movie: okay, someone is dying..the plot thickens...and oh and the blind girls going to go through the forest that has the people that "noone speaks of"...and the elders made all the stuff up to protect them...okay this is getting more interesting...

Phone call...

Me: "Um I am watching "The Village"..."

Friend: "That's your bad..."

Me: "Yea it's kinda weird...not horrible, but weird...not sure if I like it yet..."

Friend: "Yea most people didn't like it..."

Me: "Yea we'll see how I end up liking it..."

Back to the movie...

Last quarter of the movie:  ...she's going through the forest...runs into a little bit of trouble, chased by "those that we do not speak of"...but it's someone just dressed up...not very surprising, saw that coming...

...she made it through the forest to the gate that leads to the "town"...what the heck...the town are forest are just a environmental preserve...didn't see that coming...twisted...

movie ends...

okay now I'm thinking this movie is okay..thought provoking...here's my after-thoughts on it...

....so the original elder's all had someone related to them die when they lived outside the village....this professor came up with this idea to create a sort of utopian society (18th century based) where noone leaves and nobody comes in...

...in order to do this, they scare the people with "those noone speaks of" ...

..."those noone speaks of" represents everything "evil" in humankind...

...the elders want to protect the people from this evil because they know what it's like to be "haunted/hurt" by it...they don't want the "evil" to invade this utopian society...

...yet throughout the movie it can be seen that it is already part of the society when someone dies and Noah stabs Lucious out of jealousy...it's human nature...interesting...

...anyways, so yea movie was alright...probably won't watch it again anytime soon but worth seeing...

anyways that's all for now...:P

Love is patient,  love is kind, and is not jealous; Love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the trugh; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all thing.

1 Corinthians 4-7
