Voyage to Blockbuster
You know you're pathetic when you've viewed all the movies at your local blockbuster store.
I took on the difficult task of finding a few movies for family night. I thought, “How bad could it be? I know we rent a lot of movies, but after all there are a lot of movies out there.” Yeah, right! After perusing through the available titles, pacing up and down the new release wall about 10 times (probably looking quite suspicious), and calling home 3 times to see if anyone in the house has already seen a particular movie, we finally settled on 2 movies: Seabiscuit and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Neither one at the top of my must see list, but I guess they’ll have to suffice.
On a much happier note, my parents got the - all the games you want for a month for just one flat fee deal. This was mostly for my sibs, but I’m a closet gamer. I really only play every once in a while and only if the game merits my attention (some games that I have enjoyed over the years: the Tomb Raider series, Resident Evil 2, Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII, and Splinter Cell). Isn’t it funny that the most gruesome and violent games are usually the best games? Well, I’ve just rented Hitman: Contracts and I have to say it kicks butt. After spending 3 hours on it this morning, I can’t wait to get back to it.
I've also been trying to change the format of my blog. I really have a limited knowledge about computers, so I'm finding this task to be quite difficult. If anyone has any suggestions or knows of a really good tutorial, please help.
Well, I’ll leave you with a synopsis of my past life.
I don't know how you feel about it, but you were female in your last earthly incarnation.
You were born somewhere in the territory of modern West Africa around the year 725.
Your profession was that of a builder of houses, temples and cathedrals.
Your brief psychological profile in your past life:
Ruthless character, carefully weighing his decisions in critical situations, with excellent self-control and strong will. Such people are generally liked, but not always loved.
The lesson that your last past life brought to your present incarnation:
Magic is everywhere around you, even in the most usual, most ordinary situations. Your lesson is to understand this magic and to help other people to see it, too. You are a magician.

summer retreat
Ah, a long over due post. There’s so much to tell, where should I start?
Well, I did end up going to two different springs. The first trip was in the name of research. We caught all kinds of little fishes to experiment on and had a blast in the process. I also came to the realization that I have a big, monstrous size head seeing as though the goggles that I had bought didn’t fit. I also managed to lose the snorkel, but happily it made its way downstream to meet us. The main purpose of the second trip to the springs was to keep the sibs occupied. We went down the stream a few times banging ourselves against the rocks in the process. Needless to say, we left with a few cuts and bruises, but it was fun.
My grandparents then invited the rest of the family to spend the weekend with them on the beach in Longboat Key, Fl. After a very long 3-hour car ride of being squished in between beach chairs, luggage bags, and siblings, who couldn’t stop arguing, we finally arrived Thursday night. Friday was spent mainly on the beach. We snorkeled and fished. Starfish, unidentified fish, stingrays, hermit crabs, and sand crabs were among some animals were found. We spent hours just chatting and floating along in the ocean. By the end of the day, in spite of slathering ourselves with sunscreen, we all were in sunburn hell. The rest of the trip was great though. We did some fine dining, shopping, and were in strawberry daiquiri and pina colada heaven. I was glad we got to spend some time with the family and vacation on the beach. I just hope this sunburn goes away soon.
Oh, and Happy Father’s Day !!

Ramblings
Well, I finally went to see Harry Potter. I thought it was good, but it does not compare to the first movie. I guess that's how all movie series are (with the exception of Lord of the Rings).
I'm going to the Springs tomorrow, which promises to be a good time. Although the water is probably in the 60's and i have to get up at 7am. I'll still have to opportunity to snorkle and chat it up with the fishes.
Ever wonder what your goth name is? I know your dying to find out.
adios. from the Death Dealer

Summer Daze
Summer is here to stay!! Finally, school is out and I have time to play. No more stress (at least for now). I see days of laziness and sunbathing in the horizon.
Currently, there is not too much going on. I had to go into work today, which was a little crazy with the new Harry Potter film out. Eventually, I’ll go see it.
I really can’t believe how dumb some people are though. Really, If the movie is not on the marquee then WE DON’T HAVE IT. Believe me. We are not hiding the films from you! Also, I noticed that the people who carry around big bills in their wallets are the stingiest of all. Really, I think you can donate a dollar or two to the children’s charities. I don’t think that is going to leave too much of a dent in your massive wallet.
Anyway, enough with the venting, I would like to wish my bro a happy 16th birthday. You only get one, so live it up.
Is it just me, or does the new velvet revolver song kick ass!
Yeah, here comes the water
It comes to wash away the sins of you and I
This time, you'll see. . .
Like holy water
It only burns you faster than you'll ever dry
This time, with me
Is anyone else a sucker for those WB shows? I know they are made for that preteen age group, but it never fails. I still find myself glued to the tv watching Seventh Heaven, Gilmore girls, One Tree Hill, and (my newest addiction) Summerland. It’s genius, whoever created these shows knows how to get you so hyped up for the new episode that you end up planning your whole week around them.
