I’ve got nothing, but here’s my nephew and niece all decked out for this joyous holiday. Playing the part of Avatar Aang, Tremayne Glaze. And the part of evil bi…witch, is the incomparable Tayonna Jackson. Even modified one of the pictures of Tre so that he’s in the avatar state lol

No fricken’ dentist again. It’s really getting tiring. Now it’s been re-scheduled for November 29th. If my dentist wasn’t so awesome, I’d go somewhere closer. At least the Chiefs won’t reschedule me…though they might not show up…ooooh slam!

Halloween tomorrow and i don’t care. Tre’ doesn’t even seem that interested. Should have some pictures of him as avatar Aang tomorrow. Taytay’s gonna be a witch…it fits.

No movie today, but did watch Weeds and Chuck…both were…uninteresting. There’s alot of sex this year in Weeds. 1st season you could sympathize with the mom, but not so much this year. She’s basically just a drug dealing whore. Gonna watch Bottle Rocket tomorrow. It looks average at best. That is all.

The Braves today traded away Edgar Renteria to the Tigers for 2 highly-touted prospects. I hope Yunel Escobar is as good as he appeared last year.

Official release…
The Braves picked up one of the top outfield prospects in baseball and a talented young starter Monday, acquiring outfielder Gorkys Hernandez and right-handed pitcher Jair Jurrjens from the Detroit Tigers in exchange for shortstop Edgar Renteria and cash considerations.

Hernandez, a 20-year-old center fielder with speed, was the Class A Midwest League Most Valuable Player in 2007, his first full professional season, batting .293 with 84 runs, 25 doubles, four home runs and 50 RBI in 124 games.

Jurrjens, 21, went 7-5 with a 3.20 ERA in 19 starts at Double-A Erie in 2007 before making his Major League debut with Detroit in August. He went 3-1 with a 4.70 ERA in seven starts for the Tigers, including 3-0 with a 0.78 ERA and 24 strikeouts and just one walk in his last three outings.

Hernandez is considered one of the top outfield prospects in all of baseball, Jurrjens, 21, was rated by Baseball America to be the Eastern League’s sixth-best Major League prospect this past season.

I’m not sure what I thought of this movie. I got it on a recommendation but don’t recall from who…or is it whom? While I enjoyed it, I can’t recall why. I mean other than my crush on Thora Birch. Why do I find her so appealing? Anyway, I completely identified with her character. How she knows everything she hates, dislikes, feels, but doesn’t know anything about herself, or what she wants out of life. Just coasting along, hating and ridiculing everything. Of course, I also identified with the wheelchair chick in the beginning. One minute, you’re a plague on society, the next an angel. All because of one little accident. If people only really knew :lol

Anyway, it gets a moderate recommendation. Clearly not for everybody, but an enjoyable movie…for some reason.

…but today was a very slow day. Nothing eventful happened. No Chiefs game Beat Allen in Madden again. Sloppy ass game, but I won so that’s all that matters. I’m lost without the internet. I got on the computer this morning when I got up and this POS froze up on me in about 4 minutes. Visited all of two websites. I don’t think I’m getting all of my email on this computer either. There’s been a drop in my daily amount. Spam is about the same :@

Dentist in a couple days so that’s a plus. Also the Chiefs/Packers game on the 4th. Should be a good time. And that’s about it. Life bores me right now.

My favorite not so well known rapper is a somewhat local guy. He’s from Kansas City and has questionable ties to the crapfest known as ICP. But PLEASE don’t hold that against him. This is my favorite song on his newest CD, Everready. I give you…

Finally got around to watching this masterpiece of a movie. Most often described as a “fairy tale for adults.” And that description is apt. Besides the visuals being stunning, I loved that the most evil “thing” in the movie was man himself. Not Pan, who I was sure was evil. Or even the pale “man”. (which by the way was pretty f’n cool looking). But the most evil thing being her stepfather. I got a very Hitler-esque vibe from him and his soldiers. Obey orders, no questions asked. A highly recommended movie if you can live with subtitles as the movie is only in spanish.

Now I need to track down some of Guillermo Del Toro’s other work. Heard great things. Only other one I’ve seen is Hellboy, and while I enjoyed it, it left alot to be desired.

Well, my computer died on me last night. Locked up, then when I turn it on it freezes at the windows loading screen. Won’t boot in safe mode or from the disc either. So, it’s going in to be fixed tomorrow. Now I’m stuck on his ancient laptop that overheats. I get in about 10 minutes before it locks up. So I may not make a post everyday…I know, sad. My life is just so damn exciting, what will you do without me!? Alienware’s customer service is inept at it’s best. They had no clue what they were doing. Thank the deity of your choosing that I got a 3 year warranty. I think I’m going with Dell next time. Their support couldn’t be any worse.

That is all.

Another slow episode after the greatness of the last ep. Only part I really liked…and I really, really liked it. Was Parkman’s confrontation with his dad. I was convinced he wasn’t the “Nightmare Man”. Then BAM! “Fuck you Matt Parkman! Sonny boy! I am the Nightmare Man!” I figure Parkman will be able to use his soon to be gotten, new found power to help Molly. Peter’s story is kinda getting interesting…his “acting” still bothers me. Very Keanu Reeves-esque.

Chuck had it’s slowest, most boring, uneventful, episode yet. Nothing happened…at all.

Random TV side note…
I was watching Justice League with Tre last night, and heard quite possibly one of the funniest, completely unintentional lines ever…

The setup. A General and one of the former head guys at Cadmus(secret organization setup to defend against the perceived threat of the Justice League) was talking to another former member and he says…”Superman walked right into Cadmus and tossed our men like a salad”. At first my mouth was agape. Like, how could he say some shit like that? Then reality set in and knew it was an innocent comment and didn’t really imply any “salad tossing” lol. I got a giggle out of it either way.

My sister’s insignificant other got out of jail today. He’s said all of one word to me…”Sup”. As per his M.O. he’s retreated to the back bedroom where they currently reside. Kid’s haven’t started acting a fool yet, but I expect them to at anytime. Try to test the water, see what they can get away with. Not gonna be a fun time.

I’m hoping he(the insignificant other) goes into his anti-social mode and leaves me alone. I need my “me” time. Even in his best times, he’s no picnic to be around. Perhaps he’ll change, but I really doubt it. Currently he’s a dumb, lazy, jobless, retard with 3 kids, and no prospects or ambition. I don’t expect any of that to change. He MAY get a job, but he won’t keep it long. He’ll always be dumb and not much hope on the laziness. 1 out of 3 ain’t so bad. If he was playing baseball he’d be an all-star hitting .333 The cup is always half stupid in his case.
