The Dark Knight Rises Shooting in CO

Shooting in CO Theater at Premier of The Dark Knight Rises

This is absolutely disgusting news! A gunman walks into a movie theater and opens fire killing 12 people at The Dark Knight Rises premier in CO. Injuring 50 one being a 6-year-old girl. Just another example of how we suck as a society.

No doubt those 12 people walked into the movie theater just as excited as I was with my family. My brother was like a little kid on Christmas morning. Just to be shot and/or killed dead…WHY? 

My sister kept saying they had that theater “locked down” when we went. They were checking to make sure we didn’t have our cell phones, because you know we might try to record the movie with our cell phones. As if a cell phone has the capability to record a 3-hour movie, let alone be of any good quality.  I’m seriously saddened and disgusted. 

50 Way's to Bite One's Lip

I’ve been reading the recaps of 50 Shades of Gray via the Snark Squad. I don’t feel like I have to read these books, because everyone and their mother have read them. Literally, my mother, my mother’s mother, my aunt, my sister in law and some friends. They’ve all pretty much agreed that the writing is terrible.

Just reading the recaps I keep getting Twilight flashbacks. I think we’ll see a “biting her bottom lip” epidemic. It started with Bella Swan and now Ana (with one “n”) Steele (because Steele and Grey go together like peas and carrots). Seriously these girls are constantly biting their bottom lips and writers are making it out to be something men go crazy over. I’m single; maybe I should start biting my bottom lip.

I guess there’s talk of a movie. Everyone is saying Kristin Stewart and Robert Pattenson. I say we already have Twilight. Give some other actors a chance! After seeing Batman the Dark Knight Rises last night (yeah that’s right I saw it before it officially came out, thanks to my sissy and her “bar” contacts) I see Christian Bale as Christian Grey. It works! I think this is mostly because Ana (with one “n”) Steele (because Steele and Grey go together like carnivals and cotton candy) is always saying “his pants hanging off his hips like they do” and Bale’s pants hang off his hips nicely in The Dark Knight Rises. I now have a clear picture of what that actually means in my head. 

Vs. Bella

I’m kind of sick of seeing things like this. At first I thought it was funny, but now I’ve grown tired of it. Speaking as a fan of all tween pop movies, I can discuss the differences in characters and their overall importance.

First off, there are reasons we love the Twilight series. Edward’s overwhelming since to protect Bella, the woman he loves, vs. his need to eat her, as vampires do, because her scent is so powerful to his nose holes. Edward literally has to stop breathing just to be around Bella. I think Edward gives all women something to want or wish for. Second, if you ask me Bella’s character is more realist of a teenage love. It’s unfortunate, but it’s true.  Maybe a little bit far fetched with the nightmares and screaming and sitting in front of your window for months, but honestly I think we’ve all be there in some shape of form.

Hermione is the smartest wizard of her time. She’s a muggle and she’s the shit!  Hermione was important because without her the others wouldn't of figured anything out. That being said, she literally crushed on Ron for 8 straight long movies. I love the Harry Potter series, but we all knew it was going to happen and they waited till the middle of the final movie. She was always mad at Ron, yelling at Ron and crying over Ron. Yeah when he left she stuck around with Harry and helped save the wizard world, but beyond that she still had her fair share of “girl” moments. 

Ginny, unfortunately she didn't get enough airtime, in my opinion. She proved to be one of the strongest wizards of her time. She also fell in love with her brother's best friend, the "chosen one" Harry. From the very beginning Ginny had a crush on our Harry. That being said, she knew who Harry was and what he had to do. She also knew that he loved her. If he was coming back, he was coming back to her. So yeah, she kept truckin fightin off the death eaters and the dark lord’s army. Lots of wizards ran off scared, but lots stuck around and fought, because there was nothing else to lose.

I never thought I'd say this, but it's true, read the books. It gives you a better understanding of the characters and they're struggles and why they act the way they do. If you have and you still feel the same, well give em a break, they're fictional characters, made up of someone's life experiences. 

All scratched up and Bruised, Could of Died, but if I’d lost My Ducati’s I Would have been Pissed!

(Picture Note: The scratches have got worse by the night and there are a couple others but my app only allowed for 5 pics). 

Our manager wanted to do something nice and fun for us “Technical” team while some of our out of town employees were visiting this week. He threw some ideas out there and we all agreed to shoot the hooch was our choice for a workday outing. Nothing beats a day not in front of a computer screen, answering dumb questions all day, dealing with stupid work bitching, griping and banter and pushing busy work. 

All started out swimmingly. We had lunch, caught up and it was a beautiful day.  We get on the river and I’m soakin in the sun, relaxing and enjoying the gorgeous scenery on this peaceful river. Thinking why don’t I do this more often, the water felt great and this is my city. We have this in my city and why am I not taking advantage of this!?

There were about 11 of us on the trip and we were all linked up together. More than half way through our course we hit a rock…this wasn’t abnormal for there’s a lot of rocks in the Chattahoochee River and we went over many of them. This one however was different. I got stuck on the rock when everyone else kept moving forward making my tube to go up in the air dunking me in the water. This whole time I’m thinking, “oh shit where are my sunglasses”. I’m thinking I lost my sunglasses not worrying about how embarrassing this was and how I lost one of my flip-flops. The left side of my team immediately broke off from my tube where the right side stayed with me, one of them grabbing my shoe and making sure I was all right. “Yeah I’m alright, but where are my glasses!?”. Thank God they got caught it between two rocks and I found them. Close call. As well I was soaking wet for the entire drive home. Fun none the less and I’m not sorry any of it happened. Had I lost my oakleys I’d be singing a different tune TRUST in THAT!

I didn't realize it until I got home my back was in some pain. Come to look at it, I've got some gashes back there. The day has provided more of these wounds, on my legs and elbows. After thought, I could of seriously gotten injured! The river doesn’t seem so peaceful and calm anymore. 

Just a Thought

When people who don’t know how to dress tell me they like my outfit, I’m kind of offended. 

Damn the Man and the Gas People

So I’ve been noticing that the BP right outside my house is really cheap. Considering the Shell and the BP right up the road always being more expensive. You see this BP would be, for instance, $3.50 per gallon where the one literally right up the street would be $3.70 per gallon. I don’t understand why two gas stations of the same name would be that far off in price when they are basically right next to each other. 

I guess people caught on to the cheaper gas station because last night when I passed it, it was at $3.29 where the other ones were $3.37. I went out of my way this morning to get the cheapest gas and wouldn’t you know it went up to $3.69! I thought well this is usually the cheapest so I went ahead and got the gas. Well when I passed the other BP it was $3.37! W.T.F!?

This really angered me. I downloaded the gasbuddy app because I’ll be damned if I let that happen again. 

And Not a Damn Thing We Can Do About It

What is with all these celebrities fighting the hot? Jason Mraz, Jared Leto and even John Mayer.

So what, you live on an avocado farm or moved to Montana, that means you have to grow your hair out, wear hats that don’t do your hot justice, wear guy liner and paint your fingernails black? NO!

I know John has been suffering granuloma in his throat, which must be treated surgically and has resulted in canceled shows (thank you wiki), but still…suit up! That means cut the hair and take off the hat. The hat may work if you stopped FIGHTING THE HOTT!  Jordan Catalono, there is NO excuse for your fight. You’re hot and you just don’t want to be I suppose. As for Mr. A-Z, I guess I get it. You’re all bohemian and want to be “natural” and all that shit, but you’re hot! Why fight it?

In my google image search I was bombarded with hot pictures of the three. As well, I noticed they are all “J” named. Is this a coincidence?
