Happy 32!!!
The 32nd birthday has come and gone. WooHoo I'm like old and stuff! Ok so be honest, who out there knew I would be married with offspring living in London working for a movie production company by 32? When I was 8 I always said I wanted to be married by 25 and kids by 30. So I almost predicted it. Of course when I was 8 I was convinced I would be the captain of the major league kick ball team. I not only kicked the ball... I kicked ass! Hmmmm... I wonder why that major league kickball thing never got off the ground? I miss playing that. Hell, I miss recess all together. Do you think if they had never taken recess from us that we would still be doing it as adults? 1:30pm everyone gets off work to go to the playground for 30 minutes? I bet if it was still socially acceptable for people to just cut loose and play... we would all be happier people? I think if I ever run for president I will use that as a platform. Bring back recess for all!! It's pure discrimination that adults don't get recess!! On the other hand.... I wonder if that would bring back the playground bully? Because the last thing I need is getting my ass kicked on the playground at 32. Oh well.... there goes my run for the presidency!!
On a cool note my daughter received a present in the mail today from Francis Ford Coppola. It was a silver spoon with Ella's initials on it. How cool is that? I was hoping for the original shooting script to The Godfather, but a spoon is cool too. Is it wrong for me to be jealous of my 2 month old daughter? Oh well... to wrap this up... the one great thing about my birthday is that spring is here! And everyone knows what spring means.... yep you guessed it.... CUBS BASEBALL!!!!! Woo Hooo!!!

I Future!
Matt emailed me the new Star Wars theatrical trailer. 38 megs of download later I was watching something that truly looked amazing. I know I always say this and I am always just a little disappointed but this time I mean it. I think this is the prequel that every Star Wars fan always wanted. Who cares about trade federations and love stories? Get to the part where Anakin turns into Darth Vader and kills most of the Jedi’s! That’s what I’m talking about! Anyhoo, I’ve been meaning to write for some time… but ya know how it is? Julie and I were watching I Robot last weekend and it brought some interesting questions to mind. Let’s look into the future when we all have our own personal Robot… because you know we are all lazy in the future. So if we are all able to have our own personal Robots… that would probably mean that all of our employers could have robots doing all of the jobs that humans were doing. You know cheaper cost, better worker and over all profit for their businesses. Ok, so if we have Robots doing almost everything and with the increase in world population… what’s the unemployment rate going to be? Like 97%? So if we have a work force with 97% unemployment who has any money? And with no money… what happens to all of the businesses that rely on people purchasing their products? Wouldn’t this be a basic breakdown of society? I’m just curious what will happen, ya know? I realize it won’t happen in our lifetime, but don’t you think it is possible? *Scratches head and puts hand on chin* Hmmmmmmmmmm………
