W.

He's a lame duck with currently the lowest approval ratings ever. We're on the verge of electing his replacement, but even before we do that a movie about this man will hit theaters courtesy of Oliver Stone and Lionsgate. I'm talking about George W. Bush.

I'm certainly curious and I bet so will everyone else. Early reviews are lukewarm to the movie, but who really cares, right? America is fed up with our current president and what better way to celebrate the end of his run, then with a satirical drama. With a tag line, "Anyone can grow up to be the president", how else are we to view this movie?

Now I'm not an Oliver Stone fan -- at all (Alexander, anyone?). Although he sure does love his Presidents (JFK and Nixon), and frankly, those are the movies I enjoyed the most from Mr. Stone. Which brings me back to W.

First of all, the cast looks great and believable (Josh Brolin, Thandie Newton & Richard Dryfuss specifically). Also, the trailer does a pretty good job of selling the movie.

But is it too soon to for this biopic? Shouldn't we have another 10 to 15 years before digging into the life and times of George W.?

I honestly don't think it's too early. The movie just needs to be good. We'll just have to wait till Oct. 17th to find out. Here's the trailer:

For Dog lovers!

I think this is my new favorite show. I'm not sure how frequent the episodes are released, but so far I like what I've seen

We've thought about taking Jango to the Dog Days event at the A's game, but I never mustered up the courage to see how she would behave. At home she hates it when cheer or applaud. I can only imagine what she would think in a big stadium. Oh, she also has a phobia of the sound of drums and the A's usually have a nice little drumming contingent in the bleachers. Maybe when she's really old we'll bring her.

In her defense, we did bring Jango to an outdoor movie night for a screening of Sixteen Candles last year. We even sat by the speakers and she endured all the yelling, screaming, and car crashes very well.

New Look, New Purpose!

My blog got a face lift - heh. After months of searching for a WP theme that I really like, I think I've finally found it! Woo Hoo!

I'm still looking for interesting Plug-In options and widgets, but blogs are always a work in progress, right?  Any suggestions are welcomed. I'm looking for a good MP3 and photo plug-in BTW.

My renewed interest in blogging can be attributed to the awesome conversations I've had (over the last few months) on social networking sites like Plurk, Twitter and Posterous.  Thanks everyone! You know who you are :)

While you're more likely to find me posting on micro-blogging sites, this new design has given me a nice kick in the pants to keep this blog going. If only I could muster up the energy to get my chocolate blog moving again.

I don't care if you're "cool"

I'm angry at people who think they are cool. WTF? Just because I don't share your same taste in clothes, design, or music doesn't mean "I DON'T GET IT". Guess what? At times you're not all that *hip*. Asshole.

I just get really tired of people belittling other people who don't share their same interest.  You're bland angsty indie rock band just doesn't always resonate with me, okay?  I like a lot of things, many of which are upbeat and mainstream. So What?

I don't care if you are "cool". I just care if you are a good human being.

I also really like Pink's new song - heh.

Just Don't Want to be Lonely

You know those old school songs you hear on the radio every once in a while, but never bother to catch the name of the artist or song?  Well, for years I kept hearing this song played, but for whatever reason I never caught the name?  Well, one day I waited in my car (after I pulled into the garage) for the DJ to give me the name of the song."Just don't want to be lonely" by The Main Ingredient

Finally!  The song I'd been groovin' to forevah is mine :) Hope you like it too.
