First things First

First off, I'd like to wish a happy birthday to Lysander, today is his birthday, and I hope he liked "Going Rouge", that I got him for his birthday.
Next Year I hope to be better, since I've been planning since October for next year. Don't ask me why.

Anywho, we went out to the movies today (first time since July) and saw the new Alvin and the Chipmunks sequal and absolutely loved it. It got me to want to go see the first one again (it had been some time since I've seen the first movie, that some of the refernces, I'm sure I didn't get.)
 anyways, I'm not really a movie reviewer, but I give it 4.5 stars, if I was one. it's a great family film and a must see.

there were previews of Movie's I'd like to see next year
the New Free Willy Sequeal
Cats and Dogs 2
Marmaduke
Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning theif (gotta see if it lives up to the books)

Global Warming?

I think Not. that's a picture from space on the blizzard on the East Coast

A gun to a snowball fight

I found this story while purusing the other blogs I follow, this story, I found on Conservitive Scalawag and decided to put in my two cents.

it is a SNOWBALL Fight, who ever heard of a Snowball either harming or killing someone? that detective SHOULD not have pulled his gun, since bullets fired from such do harm and kill. It's insane to think someone could do that, let alone an officer who had been on the force for 25 years.

it's just insane what people will do any more, Luckily no one was harmed.

Immigration

I was perusing a fellow's blog and noticed a picture on it, It had lady Liberty holding out her hand and saying Stop America's Closed.

I have some mixed feelings on this issue, since I'm a great granddaughter of immigrants. I don't know what the current Immigration Laws are for our country, since I lack the need to watch and pay attention to the news 24-7 (I find it hampers my creative process, not that I don't find it interesting, just taken in little doses is enough for me, and if I miss something, I have a walking info hound as a fiance) Anyways, as I was saying I don't know the current laws, and I know there are people flooding to this country to get away from their oppressive governments and what not.

For them, it's still a land of opportunity. I think, if you want to live here, and become an actual citizen *THE RIGHT WAY* then you should have a chance. Have a sponsor here that will vouch for you, that you won't sit on your butt all day and watch tv, waiting for our government to hand you some money, that you didn't earn.

My Great Grand-father came over here, and worked. he had a sponsor here that told the government that he'd vouch for my Great grandfather, and that's what my great grandfather did. He worked, was able to become a citizen and bring his family over from Italy. His son's worked every day in their lives, all of them serving this country in branches of the military.
That's the way I think immigration should work, After all, America's a Melting pot of different nationalities and people. If we block the chance, we may loose the chance to know the brilliance of the next Albert Einstein or what have you

VGA's...

okay I'm new to watching the VGA's on spike. and the opening presentintation was TOTALLY AWESOME. the whole Joker thing was great.

Only I don't know if what Jack Black did for voice of the year, I dun't know if that was real or a stunt...hmmmm... guess I'll have to watch more...

If Writer's block is what they call it when...

If writer's block is what they call it when a writer can't think of what to write, what do they call it when artists have trouble getting their art right?

My fiance and I have been mulling over some ideas to create our own super hero comic, we've got the characters, their back stories, ideas for story boards, I've done some scetches of backgrounds... yet for the life of me I can't draw the damn characters... it's so frustrating... it's getting to the point where I'm about to throw in the towel and have him ask Winter or Jester to do the artwork for the comic book...

Is there an off Switch for emotions?

The above question is more than legitimate in my eyes. Today was overall a great day at work. I was able to get all my work done in a timely manner with only minor issues to work through that provided some hiccups. However, it was not to last. Despite the decent performance I gave at my job, I forgot that I work with a complete asshole. For some reason, this guy thinks that he has to bitch and moan about my performance at work, as well as my hygiene. I will be the first to admit that I'm not perfect, and that there is room for improvement in both of those areas, but this guy is way over the line.

I asked him straight out today what his problem with me was, and this is the answer I received:

1. My work is half-assed

2. I know it

3. I don't care that my work is half-assed

It went on for longer than that, but those are the three main things I remember that he told me. Now, let me be clear. I don't care whether this joker thinks my work is bad, because I know it's not, and I was just shown an evaluation that showed my performance, which was already satisfactory, improved. I know he's wrong. I know my work is good, and that his opinion doesn't matter. So why is it that I can't seem to avoid letting this stuff get to me? Maybe it's because I just don't understand what the motivation is for someone to act that way towards people. Why the hate? Why the dislike? What does it matter whether someone else is performing poorly if you yourself are performing well?

Moreover, specific to this issue, it seems that I'm the one he immediately blames when something either doesn't get done, or goes wrong.

the issue, though, isn't whether he thinks I don't care about my work. The issue is the fact that even though I know he's wrong, I can't help but let him get to me a little. I lasted most of the day without snapping, but towards the end I did shout at him and storm out. However, since I was ready to throw this jerk up against the wall and snap his neck in two, I think that was the better outcome.

It's times like these that I wish I could be like Commander Data of Star Trek and just flip a switch to turn my emotions off, and then back on again. But, as I'm not lucky enough to be an android, I have to deal with it. Still, it would be nice if I could just do mjy work and have people leave me the hell alone.

Cliffhangers, ARUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just finished reading Book five of the Sister's Grimm seires by Michael Buckley. And I have EVEN more questions than frigin answers.... I know it's a technique used to keep the reader intrested in coming back for more, but seriously..... that ending was.....
