What's your number

Ok so this is a comedy. Anna Faris as always funny. Of course we know how this will end it is a romantic comedy after all but getting there is half the fun. Anna Faris is a bit neurotic and she gets herself into these crazy situations that make you want to have a good laugh.  If you are looking for a funny comedy this is a good one to watch.  Not much else to say about it.

Warrior

Many believe that this movie is trying to piggy back of off The fighter but it does not. There are many similarities, two fighter, two brothers, the need to win. Major change though is that this story has to do with mixed martial art fighters and these two brothers are against each other and not on the same team. I saw this before I saw the fighter and I know I may get slack for this but I like warrior better. The story in the fighter is really good and is overall a good movie, Christian Bale is superb in his role but the rest of the family just get on my nerves. They remind me of white trash and Mark Whalberg is wishy washy and I wanted to love his character because I know it is hard to get stuck in family issues. But again I am not writing a review on the the fighter. What I love about warrior is the end. It is truly a story of the underdog and somehow there are two of them in this movie. Highly recommend it, a must see.

The Ides of March

Another movie with Ryan Gosling. Ryan plays as the campaign manager to George Clooney who has a few missteps and ends up getting fired. Politics right. This movie shows the truth universally acknowledged by all that politicians will step on whomever they need to to get to the top. Ryan in this case is Clooney's victim. Well guess what he is not going to be a doormat nope. This movie is for the intellectual kind as it can be a bit boring but overall it gets a strong message across. You don't mess with Ryan Gosling no you don't. Ryan goes from naive do gooder to this is my career don't mess with me. From being the pawn to king.  I have to say I enjoyed it overall, Clooney put in a good performance as well.

Drive

When I first saw the trailer for this movie I though huh another transporter movie, far from it. Well when it starts off you do think transporter and then the 80s style pink neon titles start with an 80s soundtrack to match. Ryan Gosling is amazing, cool and calm. Of course there is a love story, but it may not end well (triangle?). This movie is a bit gory but overall I enjoyed it. This is one of those movies that makes criminals and revenge cool. What I thoroughly enjoyed about this movie was its unpredictability which was refreshing.  There is not much more than could be said, watch it and see for yourself.

50/50

This was an interesting movie. Seth Rogen is the best friend to Joseph Gordon-Levitt. This deals with issues such as cheating partners while dealing with cancer. It mixes seriousness of this devastating disease with comic relief provided by Seth Rogen (the best friend).  I enjoyed the movie. It is meant to be a comedy but there is some drama in it. Joseph Gordon-Levitt goes back to his innocent self like in 10 things I hate about you, all about the girl in this case his girlfriend but cancer opens up his eyes. He deals with an erratic mother who has already so much on her plate with his Alzheimer ridden father and clings to her son like any mother would. Movie is overall good, not much else to say about it.  The pace is a bit slow but it is sort of narrative in dealing with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and his cancer which needs to be operated with a survival chance of 50/50.

Like Crazy

This one had me hooked since I saw the trailer. With a beautiful rendition of Fools rush in by Ingrid Michaelson.  This was a favorite at the Sundance Film Festival and for good reason. It reminds me of 500 days of summer as it is not a typical romance. It hits close to home because it deals with long distance relationships. It is apparent from the beginning that their relationship is wonderful but they will come across various struggles. I love Anna's poem because it foreshadows their whole relationships and struggles. In the trailer they cut the poem but is is beautiful either way.

Anna: I thought I understood it, that I could grasp it, but I didn't, not really. Only the smudgeness of it; the pink-slippered, all-containered, semi-precious eagerness of it. I didn't realize it would sometimes be more than whole, that the wholeness was a rather luxurious idea. Because it's the halves that halve you in half. I didn't know, don't know, about the in-between bits; the gory bits of you, and the gory bits of me.

This is one of those movies that deals with human relationships at the core and does it beautifully.  Your will be empathetic and understand these two. The movie is beautiful and captivating and I highly recommend it. Although fair warning you might just cry.

Immortals

The trailer for this movie was okay, it did not prompt me to rush to a theater. It looked like a cheap imitation of 300/Troy. However I had made a bet with my sister, to prove to her that Henry Cavil was in fact gorgeous. I fell in love with him watching Tudors as his character and that of Sir Thomas More were my favorite.  So we went, and yes I won the bet. The movie however had a few gaps as far as Greek Mythology goes but we won't go into that Hollywood is not one known for being detail oriented. The performances were sub par but I think the actor's did okay with what they were given. The movie is basically a bunch of shirtless guys greased up and it falls short.  Unfortunately I also did not see that the only tickets available were in 3D for the theater I went to. Henry Cavil shirtless in 3D, thanks 3D, the gory beheading and blood not so much. I would wait to rent. But I have to say I do enjoy winning a bet.

Happy Feet 2

PENGUINS ARE CUTE!.. EMPEROR PENGUINS EVEN CUTER. I had the joy of actually seeing penguins up close likes two feet away at the NY Aquarium but alas that is not good enough. I fell in love with Mumble in the first movie, always had a thing for Elijah Wood. The movie had wonderful music, Robin Williams is genius and hilarious and the message to save our precious animals is there as well. Now the second story follows a grown up Mumble. The trailer did a horrible job in presenting the movie and I feel it may not have guaranteed a new audience who was not familiar with the movie. Mumble is now a parent and his son faces similar issues as he did.  Pink (Alecia Moore) takes over for Brittany Murphy who sadly passed away, she did a wonderful job as Gloria. One of the original songs in the movie when she sings to her son Erik is heartbreaking and wonderful, the song is called Bridge of Light. What makes this movie great is that it teaches kids about the world around them.  Shows them that we are not alone in this world. The humans play a minor role in this movie, they try to help but they cannot. This movie also shows kids what family, growing up and team work is all about. I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and would watch it again. Penguins are adorable.You can also adopt one through the world wildlife fund, which does great work with animals.

Young Adult

Ah Charlize Theron. Gorgeous and talented. This movie is from Diablo Cody of Juno fame. I have to say Charlize shines in this movie. Her crudeness and as a matter of fact attitude reminds me of Cameron Diaz in Bad Teacher another hilarity of this year.  I watched this movie while I was a bit tired but it woke me up. I felt bad for Theron because she was in fact acting like a young adult trying to redeem her previous high school glory. Although it is clear that she is in fact better off in certain lights than the people she is trying to compete with this is not clear to her. A ghost write for a young adult series that is coming to close Theron is ruthless, mean and endearing at the same time. This is someone whose life seems great to those in her new society but an invitation to her high school sweetheart's baby shower sets in motion a chain of events.  This movie rings a bell with myself and I think a lot of people can relate. Here is a woman who has achieved so much in her life but with her standards nothing compares to her glory days of high school when she in fact had everything. A athlete boyfriend, popularity and more.  I recommend this movie because I understand where her character comes from of course I would not do 3 quarter of the things she does in this movie as I think she is close to a mental breakdown. But I have to say that if one of exes who I still spoke to (bad idea) sent me an invitation to their baby shower I would freak to but my meltdown would need to happen very far away from that person. Go for the laughs and to see Theron shine.

Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn part 1

Let me start by saying that I am a huge twilight fan, big surprise.  Twilight came into my life in a funny way, through facebook and my younger preteen cousin. Back in the day, lol, there was an app on facebook called flair I believe. As in buttons you post on your profile or silly waiters wear a la Jennifer Aniston in Office Space (if you do not know what I am talking about go rent it now-CLASSIC). Well through this flair app you would search or make your own flair with pics, funny quotes and thoughts and Edward Cullen fans were everywhere and I mean every other button was OMG Edward Cullen I love you.  I keep up with popular culture and news so I was confused so I went to my trusty friend google and searched and surprise surprise the cult following was revealed. Later that week my cousin asked me if I had read twilight and no I had not. She wanted me to drive her to the movies as her mother would not. So there goes me watching twilight, liking it and reading swallowing every book in the series.

Now back to the last installment- part 1.  I did attend the midnight showing (crazy I know). This part of the movie was uneventful to say the least well compared to the second half which I cannot wait to see (a year seems too long to wait). Well Jacob was upset like always that Bella was being stubborn like always and Edward he was happy but cautious as always. The wedding scene was beautiful, really like a midsummer night's dream. I really loved Bella's gown, although I hated her makeup and hair they could have done a better job. What I did love about the movie was the fact that they stuck to the book pretty much even for the gory and pretty nasty birthing scene. I have to say Bella looked like a holocaust survivor, great effect but heartbreaking at the same time. The saddest part in the movie I have to say was when Edward called Bella baby because he had never done so before. Even though I knew that Bella would not die Edward's cry to her is really heartbreaking.  I enjoyed the movie like the fan that I am and cannot wait for the second part. Which will make me sad that it will be the end but I cannot wait to see Bella as a kick ass vampire. I think that this is a great story in general and one of vampire and romance. It this is not your cup of tea and would enjoy vampire books check out Anne Rice and her Vampire Chronicles because while I love the twilight books and the story nothing can hold a candle to Anne Rice as a vampire writer. Check out Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt in Interview with the Vampire, Anne wrote the screenplay as well so it is magnificent.

New Year's Eve

So this is the new romantic comedy from Gary Marshall, the famed director of Pretty Woman and last year's hit Valentine's Day. This movie's cast is basically half of Hollywood.  Like Valentine's Day this movie shows snippets of different people and their lives on one day.  I believe this was better than Valentine Day. I may be biased somehow because I have never been a fan of Valentine's Day as a holiday while New Year's Eve is one of my favorite holidays.  Well both stories have common denominators, as certain characters being family members, co-workers, friends etc and their stories connect somehow same as Valentine's Day. What I like about this type of movie is that it deals with human characters on a daily basis and does it with humor.  I would give this movie a 7 out of 10. I would bump it up to 8 only because of Zac Efron and Michelle Pfeiffer dancing in the end credits is hilarious and because of Sofia Vergara, she is too much.  I enjoyed the romance cause I am a sucker for that. I also enjoyed the matching of certain couples in the movie, they were unexpected to say the least. I mean there isn't much to say about this movie. It's not Oscar worthy to say the least but it makes a great date movie and a fun night. It can be perfect to see with a friend as well. That's about it, this makes a great rental.

Review Me

So I watch a lot of movies. I am surprised at times that I have not developed a career in movies at this point. No, not as an actress. I have dabbled in that aspect in my school years not that long ago but I am not sure I could do it unless any casting directors out there would like to make it their challenge. Well moving on, this past two months I have seen 10 movies or so in theaters alone. I am not counting movies I watch at random online or through netflix, tv or personal collection.  My personal collection is significant but it contains my all time favorites or movies that I know I can watch over and over.  So this post will be short I will list the movies that I will review. Why would I review movies you say? Well, one I am extremely bored. Two, it's my blog and I can do whatever I want. Three, why not.  The list is in no certain order and I may not review them in that order either.

1. New Year's Eve
2. Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1
3. Young Adult
4. Happy Feet 2
5. Immortals
6. Like Crazy
7. 50/50

11. What's your number

Well let's see how long this takes. By the way the reviews are my opinion and my opinions only. If you have any thoughts please share. Let's get started.....

Write on...

When is it foolish to wait? To hope? To imagine something better than reality? Is it still called a dream when there is no light at the end of the tunnel? It it worth to hope when you can see the light but the end of the tunnel is nowhere near in sight? One step will lead you closer and the wrong step will lead you farther. The heaviness in my chest tells me to fight on and struggle when others simply give in. But how long can you fight for? How long can you be knocked down and still have strength to stand? Here I stand against all odds human made or greater still. Trying not to bend against someone else's will. The strongest will is my own. I refuse to fall, refuse to back down. If they knock me off my feet and on my knees I fall, I will refuse their whims. I will walk on my knees, not crawl. No one in history is remembered for being weak or frail. My armor is my conviction. My beliefs help me carry on. I will persevere. I will move on.

Writing

Never thought that I'd need to remind myself to breathe. Remind my heart to beat. My blood to flow. My mouth to speak. My mind to wait, patiently and eagerly at the same time. Never thought someone could impact me, make me react as I no longer was myself. I thought I understood it all but I know I couldn't have known what I know now. What I know now I clearly understand and at times I am baffled by my own lack of intelligence. My lack of security. My lack to fully let myself fall when I already know I've fallen and touched ground. I feel the world as constant as it is, on my shoulders, on my chest. Through it all I need to remind myself breathe, live, rest.

Music

So I have not written for a while between the job searching and interviews I really haven't been in the mood. Thoughts are constantly passing through my mind and it used to be I had to write things down so I would not explode but I have come to rely on music to let emotions and thoughts do their thing. I have always been attached to music one way or another. When I was a little kid I always wanted to be a singer but I have had mixed reviews, my family thinks I am tone deaf but I have to disagree and so do a lot of people. Have done a few talent shows in school and was part of chorus and have done a few solos the most popular was my heart will go on by Celine Dion, yes a ballad. Celine Dion is actually one of my favorite artists, I will love ballads always there's always something about them. They evoke feelings sometimes you didn't think you had.  At the same time music just seems to take your feelings and put them into tangible words.  You can take a sad song and it will let you express your emotions, sometimes feelings you didn't know you had. A happy song could change your mood. Music just changes everything. I sometimes think the reason Starbucks is so successful isn't only due to their delicious and highly fat drinks and pastries but also to their ability to create genius mixes that will lull you into a state of calm and at the same time productivity. Throughout college I worked at Starbucks and yet I was there during my time off to study for exams and to write my papers, I was rarely cooped in a library unless I was seriously cramming. I love libraries to read at leisure but for actual studying I think they are horrible, eerily quiet and lead to unproductivity on my end. So I recommend anytime you need to get your emotions through or can't find the words you need pick a song it will help you. Create a playlist of different songs you love.  I also recommend Pandora or Slacker, they will introduce you to artists you may not know you liked. One of my favorite stations I have created is called Mellow Coffee House I put it on when I want to relax, be creative or so on. And to those who think they are not creative creating your own station on Pandora or Slacker will make you feel like a DJ I promise and if not you just found yourself some new music enjoy... and that is music to my ears. LOL. See you all soon.

The week from H-E-L-L

So I had my interview on Thursday and got a call on Friday for a second interview on Monday. SCORE. RIGHT? WRONG.  Why do I say that you say to yourself.  Well on my lazy Sunday while I was streaming some "My Boys" and seriously procrastinating on getting things ready for the next day I got a call from my father stating my uncle was in the hospital. Apparently he had fainted and dislocated his shoulder or something and my grandmother who lives with him was hysterical and it was my duty to console her. So I rushed to my grandmother like a maniac to rescue my poor 15 year old cousin who did not know how to console sad grandma.  Also the language barrier does not help. My cousin's Albanian is decent for someone who was born here and speaks Albanian to her parents once in a blue moon but consoling conversations are not daily speaking activities so let's just say the vocab is definitely limited. I desperately tried to console my grandmother throughout the day to no avail and then we were able to speak with my aunt who was at the hospital with my uncle and it seems he had only torn a ligament, and I say only because the day had turned into night now and other things were happening in the shadow without my knowledge.

Around 8pm I received a call from my aunt to tell me that my uncle was fine but that in the process my father had gotten ill. He had fainted due to the stress, which had happened to him before due to high blood pressure. So I thought this was nothing major or so I was made believe, again WRONG. I closed up shop at my mom's job as she headed to the hospital. What I learned the next day in the hospital was that my father had fainted because his heart had STOPPED, yes stopped.  Fainting spell my (insert something colorful of your choice here). Well he was at this point fine as they had done CPR and brought him to and he was supposed to be released on Monday. He had had these fainting spells before and they were brought on by emotional stress (?????) and high blood pressure (????). Well to say the least I went to my second interview on Monday and I think it went okay and could've gone better but no response as of yet. Well interview aside I went to the hospital to see my father and told my mother to go home and get a few things and she would come back. At this point they wanted to monitor these spells my father was having and gave him a device to do so and after 5 more of these he would need to come back the hospital to see why these were happening.

We started chatting about my interview and how  I thought it went when my father stated that it was happening again and to call the doctor so I ran two steps to the attending doctor and told him it was happening again. When we returned no more than 5 seconds later my father's heart rate had decreased from 70 odd beats or so to below 40.... and that was bad. The monitor with the beats was red and about 4 doctors and 6 nurses came running to his room as he was now flat-lined.  In disbelief I had backtracked to the wall as I saw them trying to revive him. Terrified is not the word and my state of panic can be described without doing it justice. I was asked to wait outside and a few minutes later which felt more like days I heard them asking him if he was okay.  I had never been so glad to hear his voice. I asked if I could come back in and was allowed in.  There he was completely fine, shaken but fine, I was relieved and confused. The doctor began to speak about surgery and a pacemaker and my father asked her to stop as he could feel the fainting spell again and he was lying down on a bed.  I had asked her to stop but there it was that alarming beeping again as his heart beat kept dropping and dropping and he flat-lined yet again and I was kicked outside a second time.  I could hear them rushing behind the closed curtain, I had had a deja-vu feeling before as I watched them do CPR that first time but this time I just felt numb.

He was brought to again and attached to a defibrillator of some sort in case his heart rate dropped.  The doctor were now trying to convince him to get a temporary pacemaker and then a permanent one but he would not have it. My whole family on my father's side suffers from hosphobia (made that up, my word for fear of hospitals). Well he would not have it and doctors kept pestering which was getting under my skin as I had never seen my father this way. I'm talking about fear and not stubbornness which runs in the family as well, I should know mule here.  But my father has always been that indestructible force to be reckoned with and now he was this fragile thing that I wanted to protect and care for. I told the doctor I would speak with him but for but he was pestered with the same thing for days (more on that later).

Well my mother showed up and soon enough the whole family learned the news except for my grandmother (who still doesn't know, we cannot bring ourselves to tell her she is 86 and I fear for her health if she hears of this), my sister as well being out of the country was not told until after my father put the pacemaker in on Wednesday morning. I had wanted to tell her because if I had been out of the country I would have wanted to know as well and she chewed my head of when I did tell her eventually.  But getting ahead of myself, that night I refused to leave my father's side even though the hospital has this policy that you cannot stay overnight and no later than 11pm which I thought was ridiculous.  I hate this hospital to begin with because of my own experiences there, sprained ankles, regular visits, appendectomy and much more. My stubbornness set it with my colorful language, there was no way I could not stay the night.  And this is where the interview question comes in: What is one of your weaknesses and one of your strengths. My stubbornness is both, it is my weakness because it can wreak havoc and backfire but it is also my strength because it makes me determined and helps me attain my goals, I have mastered it beautifully. I spent the night, I didn't get any sleep every time that monitor would beep I would jolt from the cushy but nerve pinching chair. The nurse had told me that the heart rate should be 60 to 100 beats no less no more, at least 10 times throughout the night and maybe more I lost count the monitor dropped lower than 60 lowest being 56, and each time I would stand and stare at it begging for it to go back up. I was chanting, go back up, go back up, up, up. The defibrillator or pacemaker not sure what it was would jolt my father a bit if the heart rate dropped so the numbers crept up but the nerves were there, the anxiety and the uncertainty.

Everyone had spoken with my father and wanted him to get this surgery but he was not sure this would make a difference and did not want to get surgery. I had a heart to heart with him telling him of the night before and what I had been through. I did trick him I think because I know my father's weakness, it is my sister and myself so if he didn't want to do this for himself, he would do it for us. Everyone spoke to him, my cousin, my uncle, my mom, my aunts. I told him after our conversation that I would go home to shower and return and that he should think about it and let me know because by morning he had to make a decision. If he said no the doctors would have no choice but to release him.  He was not even looking me in the eyes as I tried to talk to him so I had to cup his face.  After our agreement another nurse had come in trying to speak with him about getting this surgery at this point it may have been about 10 people of hospital staff telling him it was simple and routine.

Remember me being fed up and stubborn well it lead to me talking to a doctor and a nurse aside on the issue. Not asking concerned questions but reprimanding them, as at this point the one who needed protection was my father and I in turn had become the force to be reckoned with. To the doctor I told that while this may be routine and normal in her everyday life and job to my father and us it wasn't. It was a serious procedure that he did not believe would make a difference. A procedure he was afraid of. I had remembered my father's reassuring words and my own fear when they had told me that my appendix would need to be removed and how they had used words such as easy and fast and not a big deal to describe one of my organs being extracted from my body. Granted at this point I see my antics were childish even at my 16 years of age, an organ I didn't need was being removed because otherwise it could lead to an eruption, poisoning of my blood and eventual death. But I refused to believe this was easy and painless, I suffered for 3 days and could not walk without pain.  I could've stayed in bed as used a bed pan but I refused stubbornness had set in and I walked to the bathroom with help at first in pain and then later myself by leaning on the wall, almost fainting. But I had won and had done it my way.

But I digress I told the doctor that no one else should speak to my father about getting this surgery that I would try to convince him and if not it was his choice.  I felt for him not only because he was my father but because I had been in his shoes, scared and he had been there for me.
Then the nurse had crossed the line and started talking about the surgery and how it would benefit him and I had to pull her aside. I told her that I appreciated what they had done for him and that I was on the same page as them and if it had been up to me those papers would be signed but he had his choice and he would make it. I advised the nurse to not let anyone else speak of the surgery or try to convince my father while I was away and that I would return shortly. If I found out they had they would had to deal with me. I said it in the nicest most politically correct way I knew.  It may have not been necessary or called for but remember stubbornness (weakness and strength).  Well my father did have the surgery and he is finally home and is doing great.  I am very glad and very humbled.

I did however get my thank you letters  to the interviewers returned stating that the address was insufficient which was weird I had copied the address directly from business cards I was given. I hope it doesn't hurt my chances at this position. I do not want to be perceived as an ungrateful jerk who did not appreciate people taking time out of their busy schedule to meet with me. On that note I will take a trip to that office and play the role of messenger  and hand deliver my snail mail notes.  And that was my crazy week from hell. 

I apologize for the lengthy and insane post, just felt the need to get this off my chest. On a different note I would also like to lament the loss of Steve Jobs who I believe was a revolutionary and a force to be reckoned with. He has changed the way people interact with technology and our lives for the better.  He will be sorely missed.  I will add below his commencement speech for Stanford June 2005 I think it describes what I have experienced this week best and how it has impacted me I could not have said it better. I will leave you with a few words of my own before I borrow his.

"Be Grateful. Be Humble. Be Risky and Bold. Above all, live your life the way you want"

“No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” [Stanford commencement speech, June 2005]

Welcome

I would like to say Welcome to anyone on this lovely blogosphere. I remember starting a blog years ago on live journal but it seems it is now long gone and forgotten. So what brought me back? Curiosity, boredom, a need to fill my time with something else beside depleting my Netflix queue.  Random thoughts need to be expressed and believe me I have very random thoughts.  So let's begin shall we. First musing on the day will go to the subject of Netflix and the new project they should call "How to screw your customers over and over again".  Now whatever do I mean, the all mighty and what I thought amazing Netflix has gone and done the stupidest thing I believe.  Turning their once profitable and great product into nothing short of BS. I understand that every company must evolve and change things for the betterment of the business but slapping your customer in the face should not be the way to do it.  Here is a surefire way to piss people off.


Step 1:
Destroy the competition (a.k.a Blockbuster)
Step 2:
Raise your prices
Step 3:
Change your plans completely so you are no longer the same company
Step 4:
Assign your company name to the new guy (a.k.a crappy, limited online streaming)
Step 5:
Assume that you know what your customers want better than your customer does
Step 6:
Become baffled when it all blows up in your face and destroy your once successful company

Now all that aside is it true that Netflix will die? Probably not because there will most likely be those who don't care about how Netflix does business as long as it doesn't affect them personally. Case in point, those who only streamed online from Netflix and only enjoy obscure indie movies or crappy straight to dvd releases. Also those such as myself who have grown attached to the little red envelope, it sure does set my heart afire. But I did cancel my dvd by mail portion (I shall not use its stupid new name I refuse). I cancelled only because: 1. I  am currently without pay (anyone hiring?) 2. it is cheaper, refer back to one. 3. most likely will cancel when I find a new alternative which is bound to happen soon.

I guess that's about it. I can spew on for days but maybe will add another post whenever the mood or boredom strikes. Hope to acquire a few readers and if you have anything that you would like me to read, let me know.

May the force be with you. (George Lucas don't you dare sue me for copyright infringement, cause that phrase now is part of pop culture)
