Pan's Labyrinth

I have seen many movies over the past several months, and I have been disappointed by about 95% of those.

Pan's Labyrinth was a refreshing change of movie style. This movie is like none other that I have seen before. It's only playing in select theatres, but if you can find one close to your home that's showing this film, I definitely reccomend seeing it.

The only negative thing I have to say about this movie is that the entire thing's in Spanish. And that's not really anything negative, seeing as how I don't think it was produced by America.

The soundtrack is absolutely beautiful. I will be purchasing it as soon as possible.

So anyways, go watch this. It's definitely worth the money.

My Car Was On The News!

Woo Hoo! My car was on KXAN News tonight (Jan. 17, 2007) at about 10:10 in the p.m.

Here's the story (since the news only showed one of the photos and didn't say anything about it really):

It started off yesterday afternoon. I went outside to see what Christopher and Panda were doing to my car. Upon seeing what they were doing... I laughed and joined in. Then today we finished off the art work.

I'll put them in order of events as best I can.

Double Post

POST #1

I can't wait until he dies. This cold is driving me crazy. On the up side, everyone's been home, so the days haven't been boring for me. Although it's quite humorous to watch my dog gingerly walk on the ice-covered grass... I'm ready for God to turn the heater back on. ;)

Since the ice has caused everything to shut down, I haven't been able to apply for this job that I'm really wanting. As soon as the place opens back up, I can drop off the necessary paperwork. Had Blinn got my transcripts to my house sooner, this wouldn't be an issue. Oh well. It'll all work out.

POST #2

In other news, Svetlana called me last night. It appears that everything is going to work out here. Her dad ended up having a heart attack moments before her first customer... so she never had to go through with the whole becoming a prostitute thing. That's good.

So, we talked for quite some time. It turns out that she still needs that $3000 to come over to the U.S. though. I'm going to do my best to raise enough money to get her over here so we can get married. It'll be cool... there's only 2 Russian people I've ever really talked to. One was a foreign exchange student back in high school. The other was my Geology professor. I just hope she buffs up her English skills. She's still difficult to understand.

But love hath no language. Besides... she doesn't really need to speak much. She can read English just fine and that's all that really matters... because that means she'll be able to read recipes.


I guess that's all for now. If you want to donate some money to the Bring Svetlana to America Fund just shoot me an email. I'll give you all the necessary information and we'll get my bride here ASAP.

Women, know your limits!

It's funny because it's true. :)

A Warning To All Single Men

I was going to make this post closer to Valentines Day, but I decided I would go ahead and make it now and reference it closer to V-Day since I have an idea for a post on February 14th.

This post is meant to be a warning for all the single men out there who may happen across my blog.

Guys... there are three times during the course of a year in which you should never begin a relationship. These times of year are around the female's birthday, Valentines Day, and Christmas.

Reason being... a lot (not all*) of women are extremely shallow and will begin seeking a relationship during these times of year for one main reason... and then various smaller reasons.

The main reason a woman will start a relationship around these times of year (Valentines Day especially) is so they won't be alone for the upcoming event. Beware of this, for shortly after the day has passed and you have served your purpose... she's going to dump you. I know... it's sad. There are actually women who would be willing to play with your emotions simply so they can temporarily curb their loneliness.

Other reasons for this type of maltreatment are so they can get gifts and feel special. That's right. She'll lead you on simply so she can get a present for her birthday or Christmas. Of course, Valentines Day is the day all you single men need to keep your eyes open for. A single woman won't think twice about screwing you over simply so she will feel loved/wanted/special on this day. After all... she doesn't want to be the only woman at the office that doesn't receive flowers... and that's much more important than your emotions.

Men... beware of this shallow beast. She doesn't care if she crushes you so long as she gets to feel special during the times of year she's "supposed" to feel special.

You have been warned.

#@#@#@#@#EDIT#@#@#@#@#
Just as I was about to publish this post I remembered another time during the year in which it is crucial not to start a relationship. That time is... when you meet a girl at a wedding. She will have just seen one of her friends get married... then her crazy, psycho emotions will kick into overdrive and she too will want to get married. Well, not really. But she wants to be happy like her friend. So, she'll be willing to go after the first guy who shows interest at the wedding. She'll toy with you for as long as it takes for her wedding-day-fantasy to expire. Then... once you have served your purpose and she realizes that she doesn't really want to get married yet... you're history.




*Again, I repeat that this does not pertain to all females.

Poor Mr. Tiddlewinks' Final Flight

One evening Mr. Tiddlewinks was starting to get a bit tired. His stomach was full after pigging out in the feeder behind Old Mrs. Hagsworth's house. He decided that he should get back to his nest so he could get a good night's sleep so he wouldn't be too tired for tomorrow's adventure of gorging himself and pooping on cars.


On his way back to the nest, Mr. Tiddlewinks realized that it was about to rain. So he pushed himself to go a wee bit faster.

The darkness of both the night and the storm became thicker with each passing moment.

Mr. Tiddlewinks pressed on...

The rain started pouring down upon poor Mr. Tiddlewinks.

Faster and faster he went...

Then...

all went black.




A few days later Nathan took his dog, Dübeee, out in the back yard so she could "take care of business." Nathan talked with Dübeee as he so often did. But then something out of the corner of his eyes caught Nathan's attention. He looked up to the balcony. "What is that?" he thought. He then got a closer look...



It was poor Mr. Tiddlewinks lying upon his back.

"I wonder how he died..." Nathan said out loud.

As Nathan surveyed Mr. Tiddlewinks' surroundings he noticed something. Poor Mr. Tiddlewinks' death was caused by...

nothing more than what was once a clean window.

The rain, mixed with the darkness, mixed with Mr. Tiddlewinks' strong desire to get back home... made it impossible for him to see the window.

Once Nathan realized what had happened, he fell over laughing.

He then climbed upon the ladder and snatched up the corpse of poor Mr. Tiddlewinks'.


He then held it up for the world to see...

then cooked him and had a wonderful dinner.

The End
