The Killers "Spaceman" It's blue and highlighted...so I guess you should click it.

It's out of this world weird. So it's awesome.

Late-Night Rambling

It's late. I should really be in bed. I have to wake up early tomorrow. I'm already dreading it.

I'm posting this about 20 minutes before it's officially Monday.

Today I happened to catch the second half of Cast-Away, a movie that I've seen too many times. But it got me thinking how in the world he lasted four years alone on an island...well he wasn't that alone, I mean he did have a volleyball friend. I think I would last about 4 weeks if that. I wouldn't be able to crack the coconuts and I wouldn't be able to catch fish.

I would be screwed. I would need to find my own version of "Wilson." Maybe a rock or something...I need to put more thought into this...I mean you never know when you might find yourself deserted on an island...take note and watch Cast-Away and the Swiss family Robinson...those things are like "Surviving on an island for dummies book." Awesome.

"I gotta keep breathing. Because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide might bring?"- Tom Hanks (Cast-Away)

Change.

A serious blog...the first of few serious blogs.

On Tuesday, January 20, Barack Obama will officially become our 44th president. I am sure that you will read millions of blogs on this but I will like to take the time to state that I am looking forward to the change that Barack Obama has talked about.

I really hope that this is the beginning of better days for this country. I know that it will probably take some time but I hope that we see changes being made.

On Tuesday, it will be a big day. It will be bigger than big. It will be important. It will be historic. It will be a day that shows our process and growth as not only a nation but as people. I think it's amazing how far we have come and amazing to think that we can still do so much more.

This will be day that will change everything. Hopefully for the good.

Small Break...

So it's been about a week since I blogged. But I don't want blogging to be a chore for me; I just need to be inspired to actually sit down and blog about something.

-For example: the amazing way a person proclaims "I will never drink again!" as they have their head in a toilet only to do it again a short while later. Fantastic.

That kind of thing makes me want to blog and share my insight on such random topics.

On another note I just recently saw the movie "Swing Vote," with Kevin Costner, who on a side note, I'm glad that he has decided to go bald gracefully and not go down the Nicolas Cage road who seems to be sporting something that hasn't been classified yet on the top of his head.

Anyway the movie is about the result of a presidential election coming down to one man's vote. That is pressure...though I don't really know where I was going with that.

This blog was kind of everywhere.

Ponder This # 2

Ponder Away...

The Brillance of Saul Silver

I just saw "Pineapple Express" for the first time and I have to say that James Franco's oblivious, yet hilarious, pot dealing Saul Silver, has just become one of my favorite movie characters ever.
I mean the way Saul went about life with such patience and positivity is a way we all should go about life.
Granted Saul was high most of the time but everything he did was for the good of others...kind of...We should all take Saul's attitude towards life.

-I mean Saul was motivated to make better of himself: "...I'm gonna design septic tanks for playgrounds. Little kids can take shits!"
- He cared about others: "...Be careful. Wear shoes in the house. Safety. Safety first, then teamwork."
- And he's positive" "Don't worry, bro. Your cat's going to heaven."

So we should all learn to be a little like Saul Silver and learn to enjoy life...pot is optional though.

The Douche-Bag Moment

As I was mindlessly driving around the neighborhood something caught my attention. My left hand was hanging out the car window as I drove with one hand.

My god what was I doing?

We all have seen many people drive like this, but to me there is something so douche about it. Now I'm sure that even as professional "d-bags" roam the earth, others have caught themselves in a douchebag moment.

Moments like:
- Walking around with a "popped" collar.
- Wearing sunglasses indoors
- Suddenly becoming the loud and obnoxious one at a party.
- The quintessential "Schmuck" pose for a picture.

Now these are just a few these you might have done. But as long as they don't become an everyday thing they should keep you steer clear from douchebag territory.

Lets try to contain our inner doucheness. :)
