Oh hi there!

March 30, 2007 · Posted in Blog, Humor, Random Thoughts · 1 Comment 

Yeah, I’m still alive and kicking. Have been working on the website for my wifes work. Some updating here and there, making it run a little bit more efficiently. You know the drill! It has pretty much taken up all my free time. I have been reading other blogs but no real time or energy to comment. As a matter of fact, I should be working on it right now but I decided that my site needed a little love too.

Work has been crazy, really crazy. See I have this aversion to one particular job there and somehow I managed to be the lucky guy who always gets that job. It’s not so much that it is a bad job, it’s the fact that you just stand there loading and unloading parts, and trying not to fall asleep! I still haven’t figured out how I managed to get saddled with this machine of doom but I bet it has something to do with my aversion to it.

I’m sitting here at my very crowded desk, trying to think of something witty to say, it just ain’t happening! I have no wit! Someone must have knocked the wit out of me! Thats alright though, I really don’t give a wit. You know what they say, “Wit happens”. I know, I better stop before the wit hits the fan!

(Movie Review) Hidden Secrets

March 27, 2007 · Posted in Movies, Reviews · 3 Comments 

This is my first attempt at reviewing a movie so bare with me here:

From the box:
What if your deepest secrets were suddenly exposed? Nine friends discover just how explosive it can be when their past becomes their present.

This movie took me by surprise. Honestly I haven’t had much luck with Christian films. Aside from facing the giants, they have usually been a letdown. Hidden Secrets though, has done an excellent job of mixing biblical principals with genuine entertainment.

A few of the stars you might recognize are: John Schneider(Dukes of Hazzard), Reginald Vel Johnson(Family Matters), and Tracy Melchior(Bold and Beautiful) among others. The cast is great, I was especially impressed with John and Tracy who made their characters come alive. As an added bonus, the movie features music by Rachael Lampa and Building 429. Building 429 makes a cameo in the movie as themselves and they rocked!

I was having a hard time figuring out what the movie reminded me of then I read a few other reviews and realized that it was reminding me of The Big Chill, only I was able to sit through this.

There are some really touching moments and some very funny ones. Movies that make me laugh out loud will almost always score big with me. Hidden Secrets gets a 4 out of 5 stars. They could have had that fifth star but there were a few times where it felt it got a little preachy, still not as bad as most though!

Rating: ★★★★☆

The movie is due for theatrical release on April 30th and available on DVD in August of 2007. For more information about the movie you can visit their website at http://www.hiddensecrets-themovie.com

…and then hell froze over.

Some days are weirder than others. Some days are so weird you have to check and see if you might be getting punk’d. You know, like when you work with people who fight like cats and dogs pretty much all the time. Then you take a extra day off and when you come back they act like they are the best of friends. I was waiting for the twilight zone music to start playing.

I have been trying to get some photos taken but it seems to be a lost cause at the moment. If I am off work then it is either raining or freezing cold but man is it gorgeous out when I have to go to work and am too tired to go out. Oh and then there was the time when the batteries were dead in the camera and you didn’t have any spares on you. oh that was a laugh a minute experience!

I was going back through some old posts and noticed something. I used to have a lot more readers. I am now trying to figure out what I did to these people to chase them off. Sure I’m not always funny but I have my moments. I mean hey, if you could see me right now you would laugh your head off at the extremely funny face I am making, just trust me and laugh! I’m telling you right now if you people don’t come back I am going to start posting the most hilarious stuff ever and I won’t let you read it. :P

Right then. I need to get to bed, have a doc appointment in the AM.

Another weekend shot in the butt!

What is this phenomenon with weekends anyway. I swear they used to be longer than that. I used to be able to pack a lot more activity into a weekend and now I can barely make it out of bed. I think someone is messing with me here!

In Indiana this year we were given the option of a new plate. It is completely voluntary you can stay with the old one if you want or you can get one that says In God We Trust. I thought it was a pretty cool idea, what a great way to show the area that I am a Christian. Unfortunately anyone can get the plate which is evidenced by this photo:

Giving back the love.

March 17, 2007 · Posted in Blog · 4 Comments 

I am giving back the love that is shown on my blog. See, Wordpress puts a rel=nofollow on links to commenter’s sites. What that does is it tells search engines not to follow that link so your page rank won’t go up no matter how many times you comment. The purpose of this is to stop spammers from commenting and increasing their page rank.

Unfortunately it really doesn’t work. In theory maybe, but not in practice. They still hammer my blog hard and my anti-spam measures still catch them, for the most part. One did get through once but it was just a luck of the draw thing for him.

Anyway I just wanted to share the linky love that you all give so now when you comment it will actually be followed by the search crawlers. Of course this also means that I will have to take into account whether the comment has anything to do with the post before I approve it. Because while I am catching 99.9% of the spam bots the human spammers can get in easy. But if they want in they will have to actually read the post and make a useful comment!

Peace out y’all
