My weekend was pretty uneventful. I went home on friday and just kinda hung around. I think I went to sleep around 6am or so. That was kinda a bad idea. So Saturday I got up around 2pm and watched tv and such. I decided to rent a few movies, so I went to blockbuster, with my newly aquired blockbuster member card in hand. I ended up renting The Godfather and Requiem for a Dream. Both had be highly recommended, obvously The Godfather, top 3 best movies of all time, and Requiem for a Dream, a dark, trecherous tale, but very powerful.

So after blockbuster I went to little ceaser's for pizza. When I returned I started watching The Godfather. I must say, it was very very good. I was sad though because my disk was shit so I had to keep moving it between two DVD players. So it took awhile to finish but defenitally worth it. Later Saturday night I found Garden State and decided to watch it. I thought it was a pretty cute movie. Natalie Portman was real cute.

Sunday I got up at 10:15. I didn't really do anything for a few hours then warmed up pizza. After that I watched Requiem for a Dream. Basically it's a story about 4 people who succome to addictions, one of diet pills and the other three on heroin. It is one of the most powerful movies I have ever seen. I basically sat there staring at the tv as the credits scrolled by. It took about 5 min for me to move. With that being said, I think everyone should see it. The movie is a bit graphic, but really only 3 things happen that are out of the ordinary. I will not divulge what those are, but I only muttered "fuck" once. The thing that made this movie amazing, was the director's use of different film techniques. Also, the film score was spectacular. The main theme, "summer overature" and is haunting and memorable. One thing that makes it feel so haunting and uneasy is that it is played by a string quartet. Most of the score is string quartet and some techno. But the score does an amazing job of conveying feelings and emotions through the entire movie and especially the climatic scene at the end. The whole movie is an assault on your mind and body and I have never ever felt like I knew what addiction was until I saw this movie.

So in summary, EVERYONE should see this movie once. But beware, it is a tough, tough ride.


Maybe a less movie focused update tomorrow??

I'm kinda suprised how long that was :-0

So my weekend was uneventful. I tried to rent The Godfather but couldn't find it in Blockbuster. I went with Donnie Darko, Dead Poet's Society and Robin Williams Live on Broadway. I guess I will have to wait a little bit to see The Godfather. It is almost August, holy shit I have a lot to do.

On a side note I wish I had A/C in my house in AA. It makes me want to go to work real early since I get to chill out in A/C all day. :)

Nothing else is really going on.

P.S. The band I am listening to right now, reminds me of Donnie Darko. oh Cellar Door

So today I woke up at 11:40 for work. Which technically is ok, since it really dosen't matter when I show up. By the time I got there, (12:30), there was a police car blocking the road on which the bus drives, so it finally moved after a few mins. As the bus drove past there was a firetruck and ambulance and they had some yellow tape around places and infront of how I usually enter the building. I walk around the building and it took me a little longer to get to work. At the time, I was a little concerned, but thought everything was ok since people were just kinda walking around. Now fast forward an hour, I went to go get a drink of water and some people were in the hallway talking about how the bottom floor of GGB was all blocked off and we were quarantined until some spill was cleaned up. So I ended up waiting to go to lunch for an hour. That was the exciting thing that happened to me today.

Ann Arbor Art Fair is this weekend. I think I will go wander around tomorrow. Yea thats about it.

This past week has been pretty good. On Tuesday I flew to San Diego via Chicago. The flights were pretty good, I mainly read the two magizines i bought, Popular Science and Popular Mechanics and listened to music on my ipod. That evening I just hung out with the family. Wednesday we went to the beach. It was pretty hot, but not too bad. I attempted to wakeboard, I failed. Also there were rip tides so they were yelling at ppl to stay away from an area. I also got sunburned pretty bad that day, which is still red and a bit painful today. On Thursday we went to Sea World. It was crazy hot. The shows were pretty fun and it was a fun day. shamu rocks!! \m/ On Friday we went fishing off a pier at around 9 am. It was a lot of fun. We went for around 1.5 hrs then I and my cousin had to get back to pack for our plane rides that afternoon. I caught a mackerel and in total the family caught around 14 of them. It was lots of fun. I left at 1 and got back in michigan around 10:10 in the evening.

On Saturday I drove back to AA to meet up with some friends and go to Battle Creek for the DCI show. It was really hot in the stands but the how was a blast! The blue coats and the blue devils have awesome shows. Capital Regiment also had a good show and it is looking like a pretty good year for them. Once we drove back to ann arbor I went and hung out at a friends apartment until 3 or so and came back to my house and chilled.


Today I did nothing. Just slept in and watched tv all day.

So today was the funeral. It was a pretty good one, but also pretty sad. Afterwards we went to Pasquale's and had a lunch thing for family and friends. This evening we went to my aunt and uncle's house and had dinner and shared stories and whatnot. Thanks for the well wishes, they ment a lot.


For happier news, I am going to San Diego tomorrow for a week to spend time with the other side of my family. It will be nice to hang out.


Thats about it, hope everyone else is doing well.
