Things

Well, I have been thinking of getting into another hobby (besides drinking). I do have a 2 car garage, and am not using 1 side of it. I would love to get an old Firebird and fix it up. I don't know that much about cars. Just enough to be dangerous. Been thinking of getting an old beater to learn from. Today's cars or nothing but electronics, so, I would need to get one from the 70's or early 80's probably. That don't bother me. I would love to get a 70's era Trans Am.

As far as the basement goes. It is almost where I want it to be. I just would like to get a 40-42 inch TV to hang on the wall and that will be a reality in a few months. I'm saving my pennies so to speak. I'm not the "go out and max out the card" type of person. I don't like to be in debt. My way of thinking is, if you can't afford to buy, don't. Simple as that. Hence, saving my pennies. I pick up the occasional record or cd at garage sales and crap. I'm always on the lookout for those. Not doing the ebay thing no more. I did get a few good deals, but, I'm not looking there any longer.

Craigslist is out. The people on there are idiots. They seem to think anything that Elvis or the Beatles did is pure gold. That simply is not the case. They want big bucks for crap. There are no used record shops in my town, so to go to any of those I gotta drive for an hour. Fuck that. I'll save the gas.

Speaking of Elvis, I'm thinking of taking the lady to Graceland this summer. I'm really looking forward to that. I have never been there. I don't think she is looking forward to it. She would much rather waste her life away logged into that dam game. I do not have any problem with going without her. If that's what she wants, so be it. I sound a little angry towards her, which I am not. She stays out of the basement and my hair, so I don't mind, really. I've told her in that past what I think of that game. She is well aware of my feelings regarding it. I have even told her to take a step back, turn of the computer and look at what she has. All of that time she has wasted, and just look at what she has, nothing. Icons on a computer screen. That is what she has.

I'm ranting on this. I just needed to vent a bit. I have made my mind up. I am going to buy an old 70's era Trans Am. Put it in the other side of the garage, and fix it up. First things first. I need to build a work bench. I have that all figured out.

Well, wish me luck.

The Day The Earth Stopped

I just sat through this piece of crap. First off. I was aware that this was NOT The Day The Earth Stood Still. I have heard that the makers of this movie make similar movies with similar titles to Hollywood Big Budget movies. For example Transmorphers/Transformers. You get the idea.

To say this movie is crap is an understatement. I looked at the box art in the video store. It looks cool. A giant robot or Mech standing in a city waiting to rock the place. Looks pretty cool. Well, that's all these big fuckers do. Stand there. I realize that judging a movie by box art is a turkey shoot at best. But come on....why else have a big robot? (to put it on the front of the box, and have stupid fuckers like me spend 4 clams to rent it, I guess) If he ain't going to smash something it's a waste.

The only redeeming quality this movie has is the babe. She is Hot!! With a capital H. You get to see her tits at the start of the flick, but that's it. Nothing else.

This movie could have been alot better if they would have wanted to spend a little money to put some destruction in there, by the robots of course...but nope, nada, nothing. They look like big paper weights.

Don't get me wrong. I like low budget movies. I am a big fan of "cheesy" kung fu movies. The types like they used to show on Black Belt Theater back in the 80's and crap like that. I am surprised this has not been shown on the Sci Fi channel yet.

It may end up there, when they soak as much as they can out or rentals. I am really happy I did not purchase this skunk. The robots do look cool though, and the chick is a winner. Other than that. Don't waste your time. Go watch Goodfellas.
