Sunday

Well Sunday morning and the channel is fixed to football. I was up pretty early this morning, but not early enough to go to church, which is ok because it really is not the same without Dyron. His preaching style is just so enjoyable and intelligent. He does not use his voice like some evangelizing preacher from the early nineteen hundreds. He talks to you, he explains the text and how it can be interpreted, he helps YOU figure it out, rather than tell you what you are suppose to think. This is what I think a preacher should do, and why I like Dyrons style so much. Can't wait for him to get back from India, and especially can't wait to hear the tales and adventures lol.

Damn the Vikings scored first against the Giants. I am hoping Eli gets back in the game here, I need a Giants victory.

Well as i said in yesterdays blog friday was a pretty packed day, so I slept most of yesterday. When i did get up and motivated, I met Jessica and we went to blockbuster to pick up some movies. Now it usually takes me around an hour to pick out just two movies, but would you believe we walked in, just started talking and bam we had 4 movies that we both wanted to see in like 4.2 minutes, weird. We rented Charlie and the Chocolate factory, Whale Rider, Requiem for a dream, and a movie called Ravenous. Now as can be expected Charlie was quirky, but great, how could it not be Tim Burton is an absolute Genius, and well Johnny Depp is great, as much as I would like to hate the guy for getting Venessa Paradis before me lol. Whale Rider is brilliant, i have seen it twice now and still cry during the scene where Pika is giving her report, and i dont cry, very weird. I was worried that Jessica would not like it, cause she is more of a meat and potatoes type of girl, but she said she did, so that made me pretty happy. Now Requiem for a dream is pretty, well fucked up. It is mainly about addictions, but not just the usual hollywood thing. As a control the writer had the mother get addicted to diet pills that were prescribed by a doctor, and she basically goes crazy. I liked that, I like the way he used her to make a statement that all addictions can take you down, whether they are legal or illegal. You can be addicted to television and it can be just as insane as an addiction to heroin. It was a bizarre movie, but it had a lot in it. The last movie was called Ravenous, and I must confess I fell asleep somewhere around midpoint. I know it had a few great actors in it, and was basically about canabalism. I will have to watch it again today.

When I woke up last night Jessica was gone. She said she did not want to wake me up. Which is cool but I would have like to have gotten up and said goodbye to her. Things are getting strange in my head. But this is not the place to get into that.

Ok well the Giants got on the board with a field goal. Too little too late, they better get'r tied up by the half. My picks are still hanging on the wall of my office, so I wont know till tomorrow how I did, which is o k I guess, rather than getting all heated over the games as i watch them.

Well that is my blog for today. As I am new to this whole thing, I dont know if I overstepped the bounds in writing some of the personal stuff, but if I did, I am sure I will hear about it. So with that I will bid adieu.
