I should be finishing up packing, and i am sure i will get to that.
I have attempted to watch Lions for Lambs, twice now. the movie looks good. I just can't seem to get around the switching between the two stories at this time. Maybe my brain is getting old.
I managed to see Wanted this weekend. It's a really good action movie. It has some incredible sequences. I can even suspend my disbelief to imagine, it is possible to purposely curve a bullet. (well at least until the end). Angelina is hot, as usual.
I have canceled my Everquest 2 account, and did not renew my Age of Conan subscription. So my computer gaming currently consists of Free-Cell. Which i play while listening to I-tunes. (all my CDs being packed sort of sucks).
I was just listening to a song, a friend recommend to me, well didn't really recommend but said it reminded her of me. I really like the lyrics. So i think i have now heard it like 5 or 6 times consecutively. Maroon 5 - She Will Be Loved. 'My heart is full and my door is always open'
I have been reading some interesting stories.
A 9-12 year old baseball league canceled their all-star game. because it sets some players as better than others. I understand the idea that we play to have fun. but when did it come to the point where we can't have both Fun and Competitiveness. So in order to save some kids the "Ultimate Humiliation' of not being the best, we celebrate mediocrity. And people wonder why as a nation we are quickly be caught by other countries in innovation and invention.

The other interesting article spoke of "Yellow Science" a play on the phrase "Yellow Journalism". Very intriguing how science is slowing(some hastily) moving away from the 'Scientific Method' and heading in the direction of laziness and unprovable doctrines.

I move into my new place some time this week. waiting for the call to give me the "OK, Apartments ready!"

Hey Jason,
First off Wanted was a cool flick and it had a nice ending to it a real motivational tidbit imo.
I also saw WallE on Friday and it was pretty good, I enjoyed it and it had a lot of themes unless you were paying attention you wouldn't notice;
Mass Consumerism, Giant Corporations, over pollution, etc. Good flick!
I'm bummed to see you cancel your EQ2 accounts but I understand dude. I had some awesome memories with you in EC and after that as well. As long as you have fun man and enjoy life! Woot for you! Also meh about Conan =P whatever..
The baseball league also seems bit odd. When children realize they are not "The Best" at everything they then are able to realize that everyone has certain talents and they can then hone their skill and refine what they are good at to become what they can in their lives. This just seems to delay the process so kids don't feel cheated out of a false sense of "uber" ego-ness!
Lastly, goodluck on the move dude. Take it easy!
-Dan
