We Can Cap The Old Times

This is incredibly funny. Well, maybe not that funny, but charming. Also check out the Shining trailer towards the bottom. You will not be disapointed.

I am not ashamed to admit this, but I like Jack Black. I watched Richard Linklater's "School Of Rock" and was humored by Black's subtle character he plays. When I use subtle, I'm meaning that he's being clever and very devious with his jokes. There is always a flip side to the jokes he tells. He'll say a line, and fits perfectly in the context of the conversation, but really, he's using the same words that have different definitions to tell the joke. You have to watch his films twice over to grasp his humor. That is if you even care. It's not that important, but if you have a period of useless time, here's one option to spend it on.

I played pool tonight at Old Chicago with Angelina and Derek. I ordered a pint of Harps and lost both my games. When I play pool, all I really want to do is hit the the balls as hard as I can and see how far they spin and where they spin. I don't care about the other parts of the game. So word up, don't have me on your team. We will loose. The fun part was when I went to my car parked in a parking ramp that only accepted cash. Ok, who the hell has cash anymore? I don't, at least not during tonight. So i'm stuck in this crappy pavement prison and I have this guy in his booth hinting towards the cash machine. Which would be wonderful to use if only I would memorize my pin number. I bank at a credit union which rocks, but they don't let you customize your own pin number. They issue this four digit number from hell that isn't consitant to any common four digit number in my life. (like my girlfriends birthday. That's the best because you can never forget that.) Actually, I think I threw out that letter when It came in the mail. Thinking I could just go into the bank and change my number. Nope, you can't. I had to call back Angelina and Derek to spare me the 5.50 to exit the lot. And during all this, it's freezing and my car has not heat. So I think to myself as I wait in my cold car, "I should have ordered two pints".

This is one of those times where a decision you made in the past affects your actual life at a certain moment, which you probably would have never even dreamed of. You could have ordered two pints, or, you could have instead given that girlfriend, whose birthday you remember, your pin number before you threw away the letter. Had you done that, you could have then called her and asked her for it. I am almost positive she would have remembered it, or else written it down someplace convenient.

Or, you could have just ordered another pint, but again, a decision that affects your current situation. You were powerless to change either one, of course, but I just thought I would lay those out for you...by the way, apparently I have been taking lessons from your brother in leaving long and annoying comments, but it sure it fun.

Hi from the blighty - cheers for the link - sometimes it's good to give those spheres a good bashing - end of the day it's just time, money and a two bit game!

Nice talking
