I felt like I just got done playing in a Gus Macker. The team we played didn’t do anything but reach in the whole game and there was only one ref so he didn’t see much. My arms are red from all the smacks they took. They only had 5 players, but ended up with like 22 fouls. Can you explain to me how a few people didn’t foul out? We won by about 6 points, but it was another ugly game and I played like shit!

I'm searching for my first hole-in-one.
I enjoy being active and making things.
I work for Automattic.
The List
On my way to work this morning I was listening to WIOG and they were discussing their lists, which has prompted me to create my own list here on my site.
What is a list? Well, if you could pick anyone in sports, movies, television, modeling, etc. who would be the top 5 people you would want to hook up with?
Underworld
I had mixed feelings when I saw previews for Underworld. Sometimes the vampire movies are good and sometimes they are horrible, but this one turned out to be OK.
Kate Beckinsale did a good job as the lead roll, playing the vampire caught up in the middle of a war between the vampire and werewolf races. She falls in love with a werewolf, which causes quite a controversy in the vampire coven.
Overall, I’d recommend this movie for a one-time viewing, but it wasn’t good enough for me to actually buy it, so I’m glad I borrowed.
I grade it with a B-.
Mozilla Firefox
Mozilla has released a new preview of their next generation browser. Version 0.7 was called Firebird and 0.8 is now called Firefox. I use it as my main browser.
If you are a web developer, the Web Developer and EditCSS extensions are must haves. Some of the other extensions I use are CuteMenus and Tabbrowser.
Try it out, I’m sure you’ll love it!
Once Upon A Time In Mexico
I wasn’t too sure about this movie when I saw the previews, but thought I’d watch it since a friend let me borrow it. To tell you the truth, I didn’t care for it. It’s not a horrible movie, but nothing spectacular either. One viewing is plenty for me.
The acting was good, but the story just wasn’t believable. There was a lot of action and shooting, but nothing I haven’t seen before. I thought the plot was actually pretty boring. For big names like Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, Johnny Depp, Eva Mendes, Enrique Iglesias, and Cheech Marin I really expected a whole lot more.
I noticed a lot of errors in the movie. More than once blood or fruit was splattered on the camera. The greatest part of the movie was a scene where two guys walked out into gunfire and one of them was holding his hands up like a little kid pretending to have guns. Two seconds later, he was magically holding pistols!
I’m going to have to give this movie a C- because it failed to deliver with so many stars in the cast.
Sick
Didn’t feel the greatest this morning, so I decided to call in sick. 😐
Radio
When I first saw the commercials on TV for this movie, I knew it was one I wanted to see. It has high school sports, a coach known by everyone in a small town, and a good story. That usually makes for a good movie. I didn’t get the chance to see it in the theaters, so I bought the DVD as soon as it was released. Today I finally made some time to watch it.
Ed Harris played the head football coach who took “Radio” (Cuba Gooding Jr.) under his wing and gave him a chance to make something of his life. There was controversy created in the town because Radio was spending so much time around the high school kids and the coach stood up for him. Both Harris and Gooding played their parts well.
One thing that makes the movie great is that it is based on a true story. At the end of the movie they showed video clips of the real coach and also of Radio. It makes you feel good that there are people out there that give somoene like Radio a chance in life and really make a difference. It really is a movie everyone should watch.
I’ll have to give this movie an A-.
Still Alive
After the bad news yesterday I decided to get drunk. If you ask anyone that was with me last night, I think they would tell you that I succeeded. I must have drank enough beer to kill a small horse! On the way home, I was even lucky enough to hang my head out the window and puke on Heather’s car. I’m actually feeling pretty good today. It’s amazing what enough sleep and drinking water will do for a hangover. It was a fun time with good friends.
As far as the job…
Something better will come along. Things happen for a reason. It’s their loss, not mine.
No Job
They offered the programming job to the other guy, so I guess it’s back to the job searching… 😕
