Coupla things...
* Is there a better name for a woman than Apollonia?
* So Pirate's Day has now come and gone. That's right. There's a National Dress Like A Pirate Day. I couldn't make this up. Now don't get me wrong; I'm all for having fun, and I appreciate enjoying your favorite character as much as anyone. But two thoughts on this: 1) This was pressing enough that Congress voted to make this a National Day? Really? We don't have anything else we should be doing? 2) Don't we already have a day where you dress up and act as your favorite character? I thought so. Why are pirates so special? Why do they get their own day? I'm betting there's both more Star Wars fans out there than Pirate fans, and I think it's safe bet as to who is more passionate. So is there a Star Wars day in the near future? I didn't think so.
No more stupid days please.
* So the Catholic Church has recently passed a ban on gay priests. If you're gay, you're not welcome. Question: Why does it matter? Last time I went to Church, priests take a vow of celibacy. So no one should be having sex with anyone. Not with women, not with men, not with kids. I think that's the real problem the Church is having, not the fact that there might be some gay priests out there. Let's just uphold our vows people, and we don't have to worry about anyone's sexual orientation.
* From a friend, who has wished to remain anonymous (even though she's appeared on here before): "Is there anything worse than when you’re on a road trip on a beautiful day, riding with your windows down, having a good time…and then get stuck behind a car where they are smoking in front of you?"
* Ladies and gentlemen, if I may have your attention please. I would like to settle this debate.
Han did NOT shoot first.
Thank you.
* Every day, as I walk to and from work, and I pass a white 2001 Ford Mustang. This Mustang has one of those plate outlines on the back that says, "Barry Manilow: Music & Passion."
It cracks me up every time I see it.
* Ahhh...it's moment's like that that I live for. There must be something wrong with me.
* An Honorable Mention to my top heroes list: Mario, Spawn, Wheeljack, Qui-Gon Jinn.
* So I'm watching Transformers the Movie the other day (I know, I know), and I'm shocked to discover that they say "shit" in the movie. Not only that, but the chapter on the special edition dvd that they say that in is called "Swear Word".
Now for those of you who don't know me, I am a fan of cursing. It's what we do in our family. We get angry or frustrated, we drop a colorful metaphor, and we move on with our lives. We don't stay angry and get high blood pressure or anurisms, we don't beat our kids or our spouses, we just drop an explative and move on, feeling much better. They're just words. Never in my life have I been in favor of censoring speech.
But is that really necessary? Do we really need "shit" in Transformers? Is this what Optimus Prime really wanted? For the first time in my life, I would have to say no. That shouldn't be there.
* Could things look any worse for the Bush administration after Miers removed herself from the Supreme Court nomination? Jesus, these guys can't do ANYTHING right this term. I don't even have a joke here. G Dub, you're embarrasing me. PLEASE get your shit together. (See, shit works here.)
* Okay ladies. Alias. The TV show. With Jennifer Garner. Question: why do you like it so much? All she does is dress up like a whore! The whole show is based on 2 things: 1) Jennifer Garner dresses up like a ho. 2) Jennifer Garner kicks someone's ass. I'm just shocked that you guys are on board with this as you are. Why do you overlook the fact that every episode she has to pose as a stripper, or prostitute, or escort, or whatever, when stuff like that drives you crazy about other shows? I'm just curious.
* I'm going to throw this out here, against my better judgement. Here is a link to my profile on myspace.com. It's one of those online friends posting thingys that are really popular in colleges right now. Some friends of mine made me join. If this is your cup of tea, there you go. I will say this: I do enjoy the random ass messages I get from complete strangers. Wow. You never know what some people are going to say.
* Anyone who has your Christmas lights up, take them down. Now. I love Christmas more than anyone, but you cannot put your lights up until after Thanksgiving. Have respect for the season.
* Peace.

Apollonia sounds like a nice white wine.
If you don't have sex, how can you be homo or hetero sexual?
What's bad is those same smokers legally getting more breaks than non-smokers at work.
Han shot first and no one dared even ask questions!
The Barry Manilow thing is funny.
I always wonder about the cursing in movies from long ago, like Braveheart. Surely they had different curse words than we do today??
W ain't doing so hot right now. But if I was president and in my second term and someone said something about my approval rating, I would have no qualms about telling that person "to get over it. Its not like you can reelect me and you're going to be hard pressed to impeach me. I'm president and I will do what I think is best."
Alias isn't worth watching.
I don't like talking to strangers. They're strange.
I'll second the Christmas light thing.
Barry manilow..nice. thats about as funny as lionel richie and huey lewis and the news. And yes, i laugh too.
"So the Catholic Church has recently passed a ban on gay priests."
Please provide a citation for this. Thank you.

I stand corrected...it's about to pass it, instead of recently passed it.
If you've heard differently bud, let me know.

Good call on the gay priest thing. Haha.
Barry, I can't believe you, who are a couple of months away from being a father, support the use of the word "shit" in Transformers The Movie. For shame!
Han did not shoot first dude. It's easy to see. Greedo shot and missed to the right of Han's head (Han's right, Greedo's left). Then Han shot. It's right there!
Michael
Really? It's been so long since I've seen the original I don't know anymore. But why would he change such a thing to make it an obvious flaw?
Oh, wait...I know! Cause Lucas is insane!
Sigh...
Michael
