Once Upon A Time..

 I have a new television show, although I am not watching it on television. Once Upon A Time is a ABC orignal television show that is now available on Netflix. The basic theme of the show is every storybook/fairytale character you can possible think of from Snow White to Pinnochio are trapped in the "Real World" by an evil witch. The evil witch chosen was Snow Whites nemesis. A interesting choice but not surprising. Apparently she is the most evil of them all. The shows main character is Snow Whites daughter. Who knew she even had one....Anyways the show has me very intrigued. It seems kinda childish at first however the writing is good and the storyline is very consistent. I usually do not enjoy shows like this but I have finally found my guilty pleasure.

Lord of the Rings....

Well another dvd from netlix arrived today. It was the Lord of the Rings.  I have never seen this movie all the way through because I tend to fall asleep before the journey even begins. Today was no different however I did end up waking up right when the action began to take place. Almost everyone has a different view and take on the movie. For some reason the ring to me represented money. The ones who do not have it want it the most and will do anything to get it and the ones with it abuse the power of it. Im not sure if anyone else has had this view on the movie but I will definitely research some popular opinions on the movie. I plan on watching the movie again the whole way through just so I can say I did not fall asleep through the movie.

CRASH.

   Today I watched the film Crash on Netflix. I have scrolled by it probably a thousand times to watch something else for no reason at all. But today was different. From the opening scene I could not stop watching. This film almost makes you feel the tension between every character in the movie regardless of your race. This is a perfect example of stereotypes and the reverse. The character that stuck out the most to me however was Matt Dillion's character. He played a angry racist but mostly misunderstood cop with a sickly  father he who is being refused health care. He sticks out the most for me because his pain is seen in almost everything he does. The way he speaks to and treats woman and black people.  The film had a remarkable way of putting yourself into each character shoes which made it hard to point a finger at any one character to blame for the events took place. What made the movie even more interesting was the fact that each situation tied together in some way. Im curious to know whether this was a book first because I would most definitely be interested in reading it. Crash has made it to my personal much watch  movie list and I plan on watching it again for things I may have missed the first time around.

South Park.

I recently watched an episode of South Park on netflix. I usually do not enjoy the show on comedy central mainly because I find it difficult to get into the show due to censors and commerical. However on netflix there are neither of the too. The particular episode I watched started off with a commercial about crack babies. The commercial was similar the ones about abused dogs so collection a video in slow motion with extremely hard breaking music in the background. However this commercial featured crack babies. A whole later in the show Stan a character in the show was so affected by this commercial that he could not resist going down to the local hospital and volunteering in the crack baby unit. Only to find Cartman another character leaving the unit. Cartman is known throughout the show for being a asshole for lack of a better word so seeing him volunteer was completely out of character for him, no pun intended. Later on in the show you find out Cartman was using the crack babies for a illegitimate basketball league in which he collected all proceeds. How horrible I thought to myself, until Cartman appeared at an educational institutional in which he showed interests in the schools basketball players and asked if he could use them for his basketball leauge. Cartman was turned away because of the inhumane he was suggesting. Until I sat back and analyzed the episode. Cartmans "business" was no different than what high schools and colleges do to their players. Granted the players are not addicted to crack and are babies but they are making money of the talents of players and paying them for rules they installed in the first play. I will continue to watch South Park for the way it makes me analyze not only the episode I am watching but the world I live in.

Iphone 5

Today the latest addition to the Apple IPhone line, the IPhone 5, will be announced along with its features around 1pm est. I have never watched one of these press conferences where a certain product is being released to the world because it does not interest me that much or I had something more relevant or important to do. However I have own the IPhone 4 for a year now and I am considering upgrading my phone to the IPhone 5. Despite the disgusting price of the estimated cost of the iPhone 5 being around 300 I am still considering paying that much money for a phone that will most likely end up breaking, randomly stop working and all the other things that every phone I seem to lay my hands on does. But why not money is meant to be spent and I rather by 300$ phones while I am single , kids and mortgage free. I am curious to see the things that this new IPhone has to offer. More often than not apple products are by far easier for me to work with not only for extracurricular thing but for school and work purposes as well.

My dogs

I own two dogs Rain, and Coco. Both are girls and have completely taken over my household. Coco is 

a full bred German Shepard my mom bought at unknown location in New Jersey for a price she will 

not disclose to anyway. Coco has more personality than ten dogs. If she is not biting something she is 

knocking it over with her tail which is almost the same size as her body. She is playful loving and 

extremely aware of her surroundings. Now Rain has a different story. Rain was found by me sitting on 

the steps of my job around 5:00 am in the morning in the pouring rain, hence her name. I called my 

mom immediately to take her home until my shift ended, so I could take her to the vet. From the first 

moment I met Rain we clicked , we had an understanding. I would take care of her and she would be a 

dog. I took her to Coco's veterinarian  to see if she had an owner but no electronic chip or collar. Aside 

from two scabs on her body she was in perfect health. She is the sweetest dog I have ever met however 

I am probably being extremely biased as would anyway dog owner would be. She does her own thing 

and will not hesitate to ignore any command giving to her. She has welcomed her new home and even 

responds to her newly given name. I often wonder what her name could of been however it does not 

really matter. She is Rain now.

Im switching to Netflix...


I can not stand t.v anymore. I have to force myself to watch it and when I do I probably spend more
time looking for something to watch than actually watching a show. It is to the point that I find
commercials more enteraining then the shows themselves. Cartoons are not even the same anymore.
Everything is a reality show or competition. Which would be okay if these shows actually depicted
reality or a real competition. Then on top of it even when the show fails they replace it with the same
non sense with different people and storyline. I much rather spend 7.99 on Netflix every month. Yes
the movies are not that good but for 7.99 I will survive. The few t.v shows that  I would not mind
watching are also on there so I think its time to do away with cable and the precious bill they send me
every month and solely use Netflix. However there is one thing Netflix does not offer, the news. Which

aside from usual wrongly predicted weather conditions I do not think I will miss at all.

After we killed Justin Bieber...

  After we killed Justin Bieber unemplyment rates jumped to a all time high. Woman and children
wept from knowing that they will never have to hear Justin's untalented voice again. Barack Obama
was relected for another term of presidency and all seemed right in the world. I personally rejoiced by
playing the classics such as Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin and Queen hoping that music will go
back to being about lyrics that move you not just make you move.Scientist found a cure for cancer.
Healthcare was free and George Bush was smart. The news struggled however because nothing needed

to be reported. Violence went 100 percent and no one felt the need to drink or do drugs because they

knew they would never have to hear another Bieber song again.
