Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.

Since I've pretty much wasted the first full year of this blog, I've decided to do something different... I watch a lot of movies... scratch that... I watch TOO MANY movies! My plan with this is to try and log every single one I watch. I may comment or not, depending upon my mood and time to write. I'll be amazed if I can keep it up. (hey! I'm referring to all the movies there, not whether or not your mom excites me!)

My Yahoo Profile

Personality: Leader

Getting all you can out of life

* You're a strong and energized Leader who's driven to make an impact on the world.
* People describe you as courageous and a "force to be reckoned with." (That's right, MOVE BITCH, GET OUT THA WAY!) Indeed, with your passion, persistence, and versatility, you can do almost anything. You can start a company, run a household, or wage a war (and all at one time if necessary!).
* Like all true Leaders, you're not afraid to take risks. You thrive on intensity and excitement and gravitate toward other strong-willed people. Your friends, family, and co-workers always look to you to lead the way.
* You're willing to make unpopular decisions and to go against everyone's advice if you believe it's the right thing to do. (The story of my life, I never follwed the crowd) You're tough skinned and don't have to please everyone. In the end, you'd rather be respected than liked.
* Still, most people appreciate your honesty and directness. They always know where they stand with you. Indeed, you're a loyal friend and would do anything to protect the ones you love. (Aww, shucks... thanks Yahoo... now drop and give me 20!)

Love Style: Romantic (Look Jim, you weren't the only guy on your hall lookin' for love and not ass! Damn were we stupid! j/k)

I'll save everyone the trouble of reading the same thing that Yahoo said about Romantics here... just know that we are a rare breed.

He Just 'Beat It'

I know a lot of people in this country are cheering and running through the streets with glee over the verdict of not guilty for the King of Pop. I can't get over how blind so many Americans are when it comes to celebrities. Yes people, they are capable of mistakes and crimes. You should have put me on that jury. No way in hell that sick bastard is gettin' off (no pun intended there...). What parent, no matter how much money you are offered, would let a child sleep with a 46 year old man? And here is what Michael's lawyer said when questioned about continuing his prior habits of "sleeping" with little boys:

Michael Jackson's lawyer said Tuesday that the pop star is going to be more careful from now on and not let children into his bed anymore because "it makes him vulnerable to false charges." FALSE CHARGES? Damn, I don't know about you, but I don't go around doing things where someone may accuse me of a crime. Hey Mikey, ever heard the phrase "Where there's smoke, there's fire?"

Then there's this opinion given to the press:

At least three of the jurors in Jackson's case said that they suspect the 46-year-old pop star has molested boys, but not necessarily the one who accused him in court.

Then why would you not think so in this case? If he slept in the same bed with the boy, and you think he's molested other boys in the past... Uhh, Dick Tracy, where did you park your squad car? Guilty? You bet. Hung Jury? Would have at least made a little more sense. But innocent? NO WAY. Sorry to all those who may object, but it's time Michael stopped singin' it and started looking at the Man in the Mirror.

...then you make a left turn at Albuquerque

Yeah, yeah, stop complaining, I'm writing a post... happy?

So with my job, I get to travel all over the western half of North Carolina attempting to locate new business. During my recent travel I have discovered that my home of Hickory is not the only place in this state where Forrest Gump designed the mapping of the city and county roads. Just the other day I was out of town trying to find an address in which I was unsuccessful and decided to give up looking. Common sense would tell most people that when the address is located at 5968 'whatever street', once you get to the 5000's, you're not too far. Well, it's kind of hard to find a friggin' address when the numbers jump like a damn grasshopper from 5000 to 4000, then back to 5000, and then amazingly enough, somehow down to 3000! And then of course there's always that jackass that's behind you when you're trying to find an address. I know you need to get up to 88mph to get back to the future asshole, but I'm busy here...

Examples of some places with messed up streets and addresses in North Carolina include Stony Point and Catawba. That's right, for all of you reading this that have never been to NC, this is what we call BFE. These little places, and I mean smaller than Mayberry... usually have two to three stoplights, if not only one. What makes them fun, (and I mean the word "fun" in a sarcastic way), is how a street like 1st Avenue South East can start on the East side of town and somehow magically appear again out of nowhere on the North West side of town. Like Scooby Doo would say... Huuuuh? But what can you expect when the idiot who probably first paved the streets was named Bubba and only had three teeth? "Ahh, we don need no stinkin' street names, we's always jus use bushes and rocks to find our way home." That's nice Bubba, but the same rock isn't going to re-appear 5 miles across town. So you big city people, the next time you're sitting in traffic cursing the taxi that almost drove over your bumper while changing lanes without signaling, remember this... at least you have streets that lead somewhere!
