The Kingdom

This is a review and a thought in one, so I hope you enjoy it.





The Kingdom is a movie staring Jamie Fox, Jennifer Garner, Chris Cooper and Jason Bateman. I went watch this movie on Friday, I've been waiting a year to see it. Jennifer Garner is my favorite actress and when she got pregnant I didn't know if she would take time off or not, but she began filming this movie shortly after she gave birth. So, like I said I've been waiting to see this since it was announced.

I went to see it on opening day and was very excited not only to see Jennifer G kick butt but also because the trailers looked awesome. I don't know what I thought it was going to be, maybe I thought Muslims blow up Americans and we go in and kick butt. But I left the movie feeling genuinely sad. I can't tell you what happened but in the state of the world we are currently living in the dramatic elements and fights are great but it's really about the last few lines of the script that hit you in the face.

I've been thinking very deeply about this war, the first I have experience and fully understood as an adult, and I HATE it! I've thought about the people whose land we've invaded and those who've died and i wonder what makes us so much better. And in the end of this movie you realize that we think the same things, but justify them differently.

We need to think about what we do, we need to step into other peoples shoes. Christians, instead of commending Muslims reach out and learn about them, they aren't all terrorists and neither are we. Did you know that in the middle east, we, the American (Christians) are the terrorists. Chew on that for a while and see what comes out.

I think this is an excellent movie...it drags a little but in the end if you don't come out of it with new things and view to think about, then you completely missed the point.

We have the technology let's use it


Okay, in the middle of last television season I found this awesome show called Brothers and Sisters....I went to ABC.com to find out more about the show and discovered that all of the full episodes were there just waiting for me to watch them, I spent every Tuesday or Wednesday after work catching up on Episodes that I missed or wanted to see again. I thanks abc for having all those episodes ready and available to old and new fans alike.
I have tried to find full episodes of other shows that I really enjoy but don't always get to watch, like Army Wives and The Unit, but Lifetime and CBS don't have those full episodes on their site. It's so upsetting....
Listen take a page from ABC PLEASE get the full episodes, people want to see them they are interested, but if you don't help us...we won't watch you. Damn!

Is it Hot Enough?

Man, if it gets any hotter I think I might melt. Seriously.


The heat wave has cause me to do some strange things, I held my friend's house hostage this weekend, couldn't sleep last night and almost fainted on Saturday, all because of the heat.
The kids came back to school and Kinder Care week and my classroom has no air conditioning. The building's older then dirt and we were told that inorder to get ac the entire building has to be rewired, I don't know if I believe that though.
Anyway, the only things that's saved me was my car's ac, the grinstead's ac and various public places that have ac. If it wasn't for that you may be looking at a puddle of muck that used to be me.
I hope the weather is cooler in your neck of the woods and I sincerely hope is cools down soon.
