| Life on Yavin IV |
"Well, Simply put...I'm a Star Wars fan with an obsessive compulsive desire to make pointless referrences to that fact." -G.
Great, my first blog and I'm already quoting myself. I Got a bad feeling about this. Argh! Must...stop... making Star Wars references...must Stay on target...Stay on target. Oh forget it.
Why am I blogging? ...Why not. I'm a generous person, I thought I'd share my reality with the waiting masses. I'm looking forward to sharing my writings with my fellow bloggers both near and far, far away. Some will laugh, some will cry, some will question my sanity and some may actually understand some of it.
What would life be like on Yavin IV? Well for starters I am in no way, shape or form an outdoors person and the only views we get of Yavin is of the great forrest, so I'd probably be in one of those huge stone temples for the most part. I'd be an x-wing pilot but I'm probably too short...no wait...that's for a storm trooper. Ok, I'd be a pilot.
Well back to reality, my life is far from dull. With work, kids, wife, friends...movie releases...MOVIES. OH MAN! What are these studio desk Jockies thinking? $$$$ ok so appealing to the lowest common denominator to make sure you squeeze everthing you can from the cow you call a movie is a way to assure you make your money back, but come on. I for one feel that the audience is much smarter than the previous years. Thanks to the super information highway. You'd think after the success of well written, character driven comic-based movies like SpiderMan, X-men and the latest Batman Begins...(that is the way Batman was meant to be made) that the studios would understand that you need a good script, a director who respects the material and talented actors to make a great movie. Not a bunch of cheezy catch phrases, mediocre effects, pointless action, weak plots, weaker characters and anotomically correct batsuits. But Noooo. CATWOMAN. HULK. ELEKTRA. The LAST 3 BATMAN films. I haven't seen Fantastic 4 yet, but I'm not getting my hopes up and oh please don't let X3 join the list.
Sorry, I ramble. But that's I what I do. Please be patient...if my thought train derails, another will arrive momentarily. At the moment I am trying to start my own small business. Doing multimedia & DVD authoring. It's hard. I have a full time job, 2 kids in diapers, and a wife I like to spend time with so it's hard to get time to do side work. Eventually I'll take the plunge and work for myself...eventually. Until then I'll just keep buying gear. Currently I'm working with a Mac G4 powerbook. What would life be without Mac? Now there's a question I don't want to answer. Oh the horror of a world completely corrupted by windows operating system. Macs are just better. For one Macs have style. The design of these machines are breathtaking and they're work horses as well. Why do you think most media places use Mac exclusively. Sure average Joe may use windows, but when it comes to greating the next blockbuster media...it's Mac all the way. Try watching a tv show without seeing a Mac in the scene. I love how they always try to cover it up by putting a post-stick over the apple logo. Classic. I am true Cowboys fan! Sure they may not have had the best couple...2...3 years, but we're working on it. The cowboy banwagon got a lot roomier a few years ago. Bunch of fair weather, fickle fans. It's Cowboys or no one. That's a trait that I have - Loyalty. I value it. I respect it.
ok, that was a nice moment. Well I need to get some sleep and commune with my subconscious in a volley of wierd and pointless dreams I'm sure to forget in the morning. But what parts I do remember I'll be sure to share. See, aren't you glad you found this place. Your head is expanding from the wealth of knowledge that you've obtained from just this post alone and there's soooo much more to come.

Ooh, ooh, I get to comment first! Yippee!
I bet you were hoping that I wouldn't, but my brain tells me to do these things and sometimes I am able to listen. I don't know about the other times... Anyway, I like yer blog layout. Mac's suck cause nobody works on them. Windows rules! Ha. Buy me a Mac and maybe I'll like it then. I thought of making a stylish pc one time. Out of a deer carcas. Like wrap the bone case with deer hide and push it's tongue to turn it on. Kinda like me. Anyway, it's good to have a place to crawl. Later. TT - That's Tommy Thompson Jr. Bioch
