The Oscars

Well I think we were lucky. Michael Moore stepped up to the plate and made everybody who had something to say about the war look like idiots. Good thing. I am of the belief that The Oscars are not the time or place for anyone to use iot as a soap box to vent their political views. In fact I am increasingly of the opinion that any "entertainment event" is not the place for any one to give up their politcial views. The reason I come to you as an entertainer is to take me away from the realities of the world. I don't wanna see a Britney Spears concert with a 20 minute monologue about how she thinks the war is "horrible because people are going to die." Baby, I don't care about your opinions of the war I want to you shake that ass in an out fit that leaves little to the imagination. That's why I'm here. Entertain me. Don't make me think.

So Michael Moore, despite my Democratic staus, looked like an idiot when he said we had a "fake president" who started a "fake war." And I think that luckily it shut up Dustin Hoffman and Susan Sarandon who are not for this war.

Now I wanna be clear I'm not Pro-war. But I'm for this one. No Matter how dumb we were getting to this point this war became necessary. And maybe "W" wasn't the smartest in the events leading up but now we're here we stuck going into it. Saddam lies.

If you don't believe me watch the coverage. All the Iraqis are of the opinion that they are winning this war that their troops are not "just giving up" and they are so into thinking they are the chosen people that once our troops hit Baghdad their going to use Chemical Weapons aginst us.... THAT THEY CLAIMED THEY DIDN"T HAVE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

That's why we went in. We knew he had chem weapons and they said they didn't. Now their going to use them.

Well at least the French will finally join the fight.

Sorry, but any one who's still protesting the war just doesn't understand what we're doing.

But back to the academy awards. That guy who one Best Actor is not only cool cause he won best Actor but he got to literally make out Halle Berry on stage. That's enough for me. Win Best Actor and make out with Halle Berry I'm pretty much finished. That's two out the five off the list of things of to do before I die.

Sean Connery. I know it's an Irish thing but everyone in our party thought it was the Puffy Shirt from Seinfeld.

Steve Martin was hilarious as always. The thing where he went through and showed all the people he "slept with." THAT WAS damn classic. Not to mention his quick wittedness specially after the whole Michael Moore Debacle.

Best Actor, Best Director shocked me. But good. WHo wants to go into the awards knowing what's gonna happen.

I picked 10 of the 24. ONe of which was a total stab and the was winner short film Animated. I chose Chubbchubbs cause hell it's a funny name.

Calista FLockhart and Harrison Ford... whaz all that about?

Nicholas Cage and Jack Nicholson hanging out in the front row. How cool were those guys. 'Specially during the gay thing Steve Martin did.

A good ceremony overall. Best Actor Guy, Adrien Brody, I thought had a good speech praying for peace. THAT's what everyone hopes for. I've got four friends over there I'm praying it'll come and come quickly. But till then let's knock Saddam and the others off the face of the earth.

Sorry. Halle Berry looked hot. So did Nicole Kidman. Oh and so did J-lo though you couldn't seer her boobs like last year and that was sad. Ans Cam Diaz was hot too put she needed to pull that hair out of her face. And Jennifer Connely.... zowiee. And of course, my dear Kate looked wonderful too.

That's all I'm done. But here's your Hot moment of Zen.

And Just So There's No More Arguements....

Syfo-Dyas was just a patsy hired by Count Dooku to start the Clone Army so that the droid army would have someone to fight so that Chancellor Palpatine would be granted Emergency Powers in the Senate and set it into place for him to become Emporor which we know he already isin Eps 4-6.

Shock and Awe

I'm in awe. I'll admit it. Some of those explosions that blew the hell out of Saddam's palace where f*cking huge. Peter Arnett hardened reporter from the first Gulf war is relaying details breathing so hard you can tell he's scared to bejesus. Not that he shouldn't be. He was across the river from the explosions that just on my TV look make me feel like I'm watching a live fireworks show. And fireworks scare me. My heart just went.... holy shizit.

I'm not in shock though. Most likely.... the Iraqi's who were across the river under Peter Arnett's hotel room were though. And the targets were so selected as to minimize "collateral damage." Now there's one of those phrasews I could do without. We all know you mean civilians. People not really in the war. Accidental deaths.

SO only 14 people are dead. It sucks for those 14 and there families, but geez didn't Iraq make it seem like we were doomed. More propaganda. It's possible in Baghdad bad things could occur but we keep our fingers crossed. No matter what you feel about this war you gotta feel for our troops and their family.

What I do find ineteresting about France is they said all along that Saddam didn't have chemical weapons. But should Saddam use CHemical weapons... they'll join the fight. huh.

Kurds. People from Kurdistan. A country that never existed. It's part of Turkey Syria and Iraq. They've been around since the late B.C.'s. But no home country. I can see why their pissed. In the early 20th century, a post WWII treaty was to give them a place. And then it got changed and so they live scattered through the mountains. People, people who are disdplaced people are the unhappiest.....

You should also visit my friend's Jeff site where he talks about his unborn baby. Click on the link on the left. It's pretty hilarious stuff.

The Academy Awards are Sunday.

I got to start working out again. I'm too lazy.

Oh and I blame Toby for making come over to his house all the time to play Pong. Now he's off for the next 13 days with nothing to do after dropping out of his Spring Break Trip. This prolly won't fair well for me.

And now, your moment ofZen.

I'm easily swayed

This is prolly one of those random things I'm gonna post that'll some day come back and bite me in ass, but I'm gonna say it. A hot chick will do me in everytime. I'm mean there's a right mentality they need. They can't just be slutty and flirty. They got to be sweet and flirty. Now the world knows how to get me. It was like the thing with Kate Hudson. She may not be as sweet as she seems. But she's won me.

Well I didn't think it would happen so quickly but another girl has taken Kate's place in the number one ranking of hot and sweet.
It may be pur propaganda But I'm falling for it. In an article this new girl says:

Are you a manipulator?
No, I’m too sweet for that. I’m Canadian.

It may not be true Or when she says:

What’s the name of the last dirty
movie you saw?
I don’t watch porn. I’ve heard of
Debbie Does Dallas though.

Or even when she says:

I'll honestly have to say 'no'. I'm not the most adventurous type when it comes to guys and sex.

But you got to love it when she follows all that good girl stuff with:

what's the sexiest thing you could ever put on?

A thong, I absolutely adore them. They're feminine and men really love them, but more than that you can make them individual by putting gems on them and of course they help you avoid that whole panty line thing. A fancy bra from Victoria's Secret worn with a thong is the sexiest you can get.

So who is this new chick? She is (sadly) 19 and on the coolest show on TV and in the funniest movie in theaters. Her name Elisha Cuthbert. Her pic is here. And here. And lastly for the guys, here.

So back to what I was saying, I'm easily swayed by hot chicks. Want me to buy you shoes? Hire a hot chick. Want me to sell all my sutff? Hire a hot chick. Want me to kill a guy? Hire a hot chick.

There;s prolly some GREAT exaggeration here but my point is clear. Flirty hot and sweet will get me everytime.

And now your moment of ZEN Sorry couldn't help it.

And Again

My final comment on my last post was just saying that it's interesting we don't want people inflicting their will on us but in some respects that's what were doing in Kuwait. But we're the good guys.

Look I'm no geo-political strategists here. I'm just a guy who enjoys the frosty barly pop from a can and playing video games. That's it.

So moving on to something I klnow a bit more about. Movies.

I'm must admidt that I awaiting with complete guilty pleasure the arrival of Jason Vs. Freddy . Yes Vorhees and Kruger going at it mono e mono in an all at battle as to who's the biggest bad ass. The Plot goes something like Freddy finds his way into Jason's dreams and noth freak out. Don't know about you, but What's going in Jason's head can stay there for all I know.

Which I guess should bring me to discuss a bit of Jason X. This movie is a hoot. It knows what it is a Friday the 13th sequel and has it's tongue firmly embedded in it's cheek. Grab some Buds and some buds and watch this thing cause it's a crack up.

And finally, your moment of Zen.

He's going to War

So two of my favorite people in the entire world are off to war. John and Shawna in a going away party that would have been lengendary had the Greene Countys finest not broken it up at 2 am slapping each of the house mates with a giant fine. EACH.

But it's wierd to think that my buddys, John and Shawna won't be around. Certainly Shawna and I have had an interesting last 4 months of friendship. And John and I started working out together and really getting to be clopse buds. And now they're guard unit will be uh... guarding stuff and hopefully both will be back in a few months in one piece.

So to anyone else who knows any off to the big something in the Middle East all my thoughts are with them.

It's odd to say one's view of this potential "conflict." You say your against the war and people think you're un American and not supporting the troops fighting for us. This isn't the case. I think they're just scared. I think that people who are against the war are worried about this turning into a Vietnam or some such thing.

But this is it. No matter how we got here, and this is the questionable part in people's minds, no matter how we got here we have to take care fo this situation. Weapons of mass destruction we know he has. He's ready to use them. Against us. So we need to take care of it. We have to be policeman because we're the ones they hate. They don't hate the Germans and French as much as they didain us. The threat's on us and unless you want them to terrorize us with threats for ever we have to show them we'll back what we say.

Bush may be running a little crazy. I've heard of rumblings in the Dept. of Defense about how the administration is not heeding advice. I've also heard of them saying things like "gee, that Clinton guy wasn't so bad after all."

But we're at the brink and if we back down now we're letting other countries tell us how to run our store. Interesting quandry that.

Jeff and I

SO we started a few weeks ago our movie review blog. It's here. My review of Daredevil. It's pretty rough on the film but I did kinda like it. I'm certainly in love with Jennifer Garner. She's hot. I mean, Hi, holy cow, I'm in love kinda hot.

But I still think Kate Hudson tops my gee aren't you cute list. Her MTV Diary was just darling.

Can I get away with using that word... darling?

Anyway, I'm getting tired of the sheer stupidity of some women. I'd so elborate on this if I could but really I'd just get wound up and there'd be a lot of expletives about some of the people I call friends. And I can't have that. So I think I'm taking a vow ofuntil I finally move to Chicago where they have the highest percapita of single women over 30. Now what vow you may ask. Well, that's between my and my vow. :)

Well on the lighter side of the my life... my new computer is awesome and I love it. Haven't burned any DVDs yet but that's the part I'm most excited about.

All right just dashed this off before work. SO have a good day and we'll talk more soon.
