Napoleon Dynamite

My cousin has a 15 year old daughter who thinks 'Napoleon Dynamite' is the best thing to ever come to the screen. She and her mother have watched it so much they started calling their dog 'Tina' and 'Fat Lard'. I'm sorry to all of you that think this is a cinematic gem....Napoleon was actually painful for me to watch. The 80's was my prime time. I remember carrying a TrapperKeeper, and pegging my jeans, and using a big pink Caboodle for my makeup and friendship bracelets, and wearing the weird hairstyle with big bangs and the rest of the hair all swept up and over to one side. I was never happier than when those fads died. Also, I can't imagine that when Napoleon gets the girl at the end, they actually go play tetherball together. I would have been at Pedro's partying with the cousins! In all fairness, Pedro was the best part of the movie. I actually do like the part when he decided to bake a cake to get the popular girl to go out with him. Okay, so I liked 10 minutes out of the entire movie. What scares me the most is that there are teens out there today who like this move a lot! Which means when they get older and go out into the real world to get jobs, some of them are going to end up in the movie industry. Which, naturally, means more movies of this same caliber. God save us all.

So lame.....

Well, after I put it off and put it off, I finally saw "8 Mile" last night. I can safely say that is 2 hours of my life I will never get back. I kept getting dizzy because everytime a beat started or someone started to speak in lame rhymes, every person in the background started doing this head-bobbing thing. I lost no love when poor little 'B. Rabbitt' got beat up. Sure, he got jumped and kidney punched from the back, but what did skinny little white boy think was gonna happen??? There are exactly 2 Eminem songs I like. My big problem with him is that he thought.."I'm gonna be a big shot rapper and all the blacks will look up to me and have respect" Well, so sorry Marshall... but most of the people listening to your music are skinny little white boys just like you. Also, as for the big "Rap Battle" scene at the end.....personally I liked the white-boy rap from 'Scary Movie 3' better.

People and their big fat mouths on the Net

I was playing a game today that had a chat room with it so you could talk while you played. Well, someone started cussing people out for no reason, and someone else told them to watch it, cause there were kids online, too. Well, the discussion went on and on from there, and I mentioned my kids liked to play online a lot. My boys are almost 5, and I'd mentioned that in this chat room. Well, some idiot got all pissy with me. Saying crap like...."I certainly hope that you moniter what they're doing and looking at" and yadda yadda yadda.
I told her no, as a matter of fact, when they get online I just tell them not to spill their bottle of Jack on the keyboard and to not burn the mousepad with their cigarettes. Some people are completely insane.

Confession

I have a confession to make. You know those pieces of paper they glue over the top of salad dressing bottles that say 'Twist to Open'? I can never twist the damn thing open. I always have to get knife and cut it.
