I hardly ever write here...but I try to check in when I can. Even if it's an old blog, leave a message, I'll probably see it.

  Please Read This Message

  A week ago today a terrible thing occured. The parents of a friend of mine were on their motorcycle when they were hit head on by a car. The car had been side-swiped by a drunk driver, causing it to cross the center line into oncoming traffic. The car then hit 2 motorocycles, each with 2 people on them. The people from one bike were pretty seriously injured and are still in the hospital, the other couple were pronounced dead on the scene.

  The couple that were killed have three children, all over the age of 19 thankfully, but still, losing your parents is not a good thing to have happen at any age.

  Please everyone take this message and never drive under the influence. You could easily change your own life, or someone elses forever. My friends will never have their parents back. The other couple will never have their legs back. The people ridding behind them will forget what they witnessed. The woman who hit them will never forget having hit them. Everyone who's lives have been touched by these great people will never forget them, but will never have them back.

  The man who caused this incident stands for 15 years in prison for each of those killed, and 5 years for each of those injured. That's 40 years of his life that he will never get back. All for one dumb act.

  I personally don't pray, but I do believe in the power of positive thoughts. So please, send positive thoughts or prayers their way.

  And remember, never drink and drive.

  You may feel like you can handle a car, and that you are okay, but other people's lives are at stake. Can you really handle that much pressure impaired?

  New Goal: Movies A-Z

  So I have recently decided that I wish to watch one movie from each letter of the alphabet.

  These are the rules I'm following:

  1) Each movie must start with that letter, excluding the word 'the'. If that's not clear, you'll understand as I go along.

  2) I will not duplicate letters until I am done (This could get interesting)

  3) Preferably the movie will be one that I have not seen.

  4) I'm going to write a little review of the movies here for all of you.

  Here we go:

  A:

  American Sweethearts: Not a bad movie. The story line wasn't that great, but wasn't very amazing either. The movie was way too predictable though. I knew the ending less than halfway through...I don't much like that about movies.

  B:

  Breakfast Club: Great Movie from the 80s. If you haven't seen this movie, you probably should. If you have seen the ABC Family tv version, PLEASE go out and rent this and watch the whole thing. There is so much of this movie that can't be shown on tv, including a scene of them getting high in the library.

  C:

  Center Stage: I really like dance related movies, so I was hoping that this one would be good. And it really way. Not what I had expected, though. I kinda wish that there was more dance sequences. It's hard to describe what my issues are with this movie, but I did like it still.

  D:

  The Da Vinci Code: When the book first came out, I read it. But never did get to watching the movie. Finally did. It was really good. That's basically all I have to say about this one.
  

  EFGH

  I:

  In the Land of Women: Not a bad movie. Also, not amazingly good either. I did like it. It did hold my attention. But it just wasn't what I was expecting...

  JKLM

  N:

  Nanny Diaries: Very cool movie. Really funny. Great acting by all of those involved. Makes me want to read the book now. I just really didn't like the way that it ended. They could have done that so much better. Maybe that's just how it was done in the book, but if so then I don't think I'll like the ending of the book either...

  O

  P:

  Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest: 'Bout time I finally watched the second one. I'd seen the first, and saw the second in theatres opening weekend. This was a good movie. I almost needed to re-watch 1 to remember what was going on, but I still go it. And this finally made a lot of things from the 3rd make sense again.

  Life Update

  Here it is

  Shows:

  Started watching Beauty and the Geek again. I didn't really like the way that it was done at first. I'm glad they have partners now, now it's back to the show that we have come to know and love. The last female that went home, I'm glad she did, she was making me angry.

  What happened to One Tree Hill? Why no new episodes until the 14th? And why are the changing it to Mondays? I wish that they would stop moving that show around so much. First it was on Wendesdays, then Tuesdays, now Mondays. Geez.

  That's basically all the tv that I've been watching because I've just been busy. But I have also been watching some DVDs of Gilmore Girls again, and Stargate SG-1. Not a bad show. I've also been watching some movies. Maybe I'll do a movie review soon...

  Games:

  The only games that I have been playing have been Guitar Hero. I beat 2 on Medium the day after I got it. Then I almost beat 3 on medium, but got stuck. So I purchased 1, and beat it on medium, then had the urge to finish off 3 and did! Now I just have to beat it on Easy, and then get my skills up enough to beat it on hard and expert...That's gonna take a while.

  As for the special stuff, I have everything in 1 unlocked! 2 has most of it unlocked, and 3 as well...I gotta work on that as well, but I have to beat stuff on Hard to get enough money for it all, and I'm not quite there yet...

  Oh, and I can't find the power cord for the DS...So all DS games are on hold since the DS battery died...If you were a DS Lite power cord, where would you be?

  Life:

  Life kinda sucks right now...

  I'm having issues, that I don't want to discuss with anyone really...It's internal issues of finding my place in the world, and figuring out how situations fit into what I want and what I believe. It's kinda a hard thing to do...but that's okay, I'll survive.

  My birthday is coming up soon! That's pretty exciting. 17 days! I'm planning a big party, it's gonna be so much fun. I'll post a recap blog of it afterwards and let you guys know how amazing it was.

  Other than that, I've been busy. School work...got a 15 page paper due in 4 weeks...had a big midterm today (6 pages of handwriting an essay in an hour and 15 minutes)...among other assignments...so...yea...

  That's about all I got...kinda boring right? lol... Leave a comment after the beep (or the button rather) if you feel like it.
