Book of Eli.

Last night I went out to watch the book of Eli staring Denzel Washington. It is about a man heading west in apocalyptic times. A war destroyed the world making the sun blinding.

You follow a lone character through his journey into a town that is run by a power hungry man. I wouldn't say the character was bad he was doing what was best for his town, and him. He sends people out to look for a book which he considers a weapon. Eli, Denzels character has the book he wants, but he wont let him have it. He even has the book memorized but will fight to the death for it.

In between the light dialog there is some action, but other than that it is just of a man walking. It is really not that good of a movie. When I was done watching it I felt as if I wasted my time. I was entertained a little bit but since the story was so slow it really got me bored and that boredom really wore me out. I didn't like the character Eli and his mystery reveal at the end of the movie. It seemed that they wanted to be a lot like the sixth sense but not as cool. I was like why didn't he just give up the book. And the book it self was the 'reason' the world ended as they knew it.

I give this movie 2 stars out of five. And would recommend to watch it when it comes out on tv, don't spend money for it cause it isn't worth it. Bad performance all together.

One down 14 to go.

This past week I have been reading "Boone's Lick," by Larry McMurtry. I must say the book was good and interesting. It is about a family in 1866 Missouri going on a journey to find a dead beat dad that is out in the west. This is a simi western story. I say that because there is no duels and outlaw stuff just a journey.

I really liked the characters, it was written as if they were real. No character was over the top or unbelievable.

I recommend it.

This is really cool.



The only thing I wish is that it would be longer.

Only in Chicago.


I must say I would have never found this if it wasn't for the wonderful Fail Blog, they deserve all of the credit. I do know that it is no longer on google maps, I tried and tried to take a look at 6436 S. Oakley Ave and nothing would come up. Well it did but what you want to see is skipped over. They go six or seven houses away when you press forward, but you can still see the man in the white shirt and the kid walking on the side walk. This can happen anywhere but this one happened in Chicago, one of the toughest cities in the US.

I wonder what else you would be able to find on google maps?

Tired of this weather.

For some reason Global Warming has not come to Des Moines yet. With another day of heavy snow flowed by sub zero temperatures tomorrow prove my point. This is the third or fourth time in the past month when travel is not advised anywhere in the metro. It has been ridiculous and annoying at the same time.

I like snow don't get me wrong, it's nice, fluffy and really light. But when there is nothing to do with it, it starts to suck. Not to mention a couple of days later it turns to ice. Making it seem like another ice age has hit. The snow wouldn't be to bad if it didn't turn to ice.

We have had enough. Snow find another way to go across the country, or lets have some mountains sprout up. So do us a favor and tell global warming to come to Des Moines.

Posting is so easy

I have been trying to get my girlfriend to start a blog. She always comes to me in the middle of the work day trying to be entertained. Sometimes I am busy and/or don't have anything to write about.

I told her, I would with hold this blog until she finally created one. It is day one so far and it is tough going. She wants to start a journal just not a blog cause she is scared of having people read her opinions. I keep telling her the people that read the blog don't have to know who it is by unless you want them to know.

Hopefully she starts one soon.

Cera maybe a dick!



I really dont know, I hope he isn't. He seems like a cool dude in his movies. But it seems all of his fame has gone to his head in this clip. Maybe they were shooting it for extra footage but it really doesn't seem like it.

My new years resolution.

Every year about this time I start something only to give it up later on in the year, like lets say February. But it never stops me from making a resolution for the next year. You would think someone would learn their lesson after years and years of not following through with their resolution. But nope not me.

This year I have decided my resolution will be to read 15 books. Yes I said books. I am not much of a book reader, I start one get about half way through it and then loose it not to be found for months later. This time it is going to be different. I will finish these book and I will keep you involved in them.

My first book is yet to be decided at this point but by the end of the week you should know.
