End of the Decade

Well it's been 2 months since I last gave my 2 cents, so I figured I was due. My daughter is now here. She is now 6 weeks old and growing like a weed. Yes, Alaina Mae is doing well..Laini Bug to me. So, what else is new? Not a lot. I lost in fantasy football..again. I finally picked up a blu-ray player..yay me! Good stuff.

As far as the movies go, I haven't been to a show in awhile. I did see A Christmas Carol though. Pretty good. I liked it a lot. I still want to see a few as well. Avatar, Sherlock Holmes, The Princess and the Frog and a couple others. I still haven't seen The Hangover yet, I know..I know.

I'm looking forward to summer..I hate snow. 28 inches in the last 2 weeks. Stupid midwest weather. I'm already wanting sunshine and 7o degree weather...and baseball. Football is almost over and I don't get into basketball much other than the NCAA tournament in March.

By the way, If you are not reading Green Lantern by now, you need to be smacked...hard. Hands down the best comic book in the last few years. What Geoff Johns has done with this series is incredible. I'm also reading the fourth book in the Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R. Martin. Excellent series. Although I'm kind of struggling with this one. I think it's really more procrastination than anything else.

Really looking forward to all the movies coming out in 2010. I'm sure I'll be back to report on them at a later time. Well, I'm out for now. Enjoy New Years Eve and Happy New Year.

  1. I can remember exactly where I was when this awful decade came into being. Believe it or not, when I rang in the new year on January 1, 2000, not only was I stone-cold sober - I was at church! My then-girlfriend and I attended a special midnight mass at the local Catholic church to welcome in, not only a new decade, but a new century and a new millennium. I remember feeling filled with optimism. By entering this new era, I felt, we could wipe the slate clean. Maybe this would be a new age of peace, love, brother and sisterhood. EVERYBODY SING!

    This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius!
    Age of Aquarius!
    Aquariusuuuuus!

    How utterly naive on my part, huh? By year's end, all of that hope was out the window and into the toilet. In December of 2000, an ideologically perverted Supreme Court would assist in a stolen election by stopping the vote count in the state of Florida, installing a corrupt little frat boy with the I.Q. of a half-eaten box of Milk Duds as president of the United States. It was all downhill from that moment on. From the birth of "Reality Television" to the worst attack on American soil since the Civil War, it was quite a strange ten years to say the least. Thankfully this awful decade is a mere three days away from being forever consigned to history's scrap heap. Hallelujah.
