Love and Donuts
I went with my son Noah to Krispy Kreme donuts to grab some glazed donuts. We got to the counter and he asked me if he could have a chocolate milk. I thought to myself “Buddy, you are going to have a sugar overload…but okay.” I said “sure”. Then he asked me if he could have two donuts. My alarm went off “warning, warning…you are about to hit sugar coma…do not, I repeat, do not let him have another donut.” I said “sure”. The alarm came back on “hello? Is there a responsible parent …
Movie Review: Observe and Report
Writer/director Hill goes for dark humor, and it’s brazenly illustrated in this uber dark comedy that has a lot of similarities to his new HBO sitcom, “Eastbound & Down” which I think is a very promising show and I’m glad it’s being continued. Seth Rogen’s character, Ronny, is somewhat like EB&D’s “hero”, Kenny Powers. He is self-unaware, and a low life. But Rogen has more charm to him and has the ability to make you laugh with him, and Danny McBride’s approach to Kenny Powers is a little more cynical. The film follows the misadventures of a rent-a-cop head of …
GO Outside!
Here is something I’ve been wondering about today. “Why do I feel pressure to spend more time outside when the weather is nice?” I am not only speaking about pressure from external sources like friends and family, but internal pressure to ‘go outside.’ It strikes me as odd that I should feel this way. Yesterday I spent the afternoon napping and watching baseball. I would love to do the same again today, except that it is warmer and sunny. Maybe I should be outside instead of watching TV. Do you agree? Part of this stems from my childhood I am …
Movie Review: I Love You, Man
A girl I was dating once told me she was concerned with a friendship I had with another guy because she was suspicious of how close we were. She didn’t understand that he and I were “like soul-mates”. Not that you should ever tell a lady friend of any kind something like this, mind you–you’re really asking for trouble; but, you know, I was young and stupid. She took it the wrong way. She thought I might have homosexual leanings. But it was nothing like that at all. Put it up on the chalkboard: We don’t understand women, and women …
atheists … mark your calendar
A friend recently brought this to my attention. It seems those that deny GOD … atheists, as they are called … have complained that Christians have Good Friday, Easter and Christmas, but they have no special day of celebration. Many outspoken atheists have even gone so far as to register their complaint to the State and Federal government. But actually atheists around the world have had a special day all along … built right into our calendar … and that day is today … April 1st … April Fools Day. It appears King David founded this day when he wrote …
