Sabres and Family
Category: hate
Yeah so I just finished listing to the Sabres Win Awesome. Reason I did't watch it was cause it was the sis bday. One of the reasons why i don't tell her about the site. Well there are too many reasons. But a few of them is she has what I call a bunch of issues and the last thing I and the site need is more drama. (not to mention I like my privatcy, don't ask) But sometimes I really Hate my Mother and sister. Sometimes they act like 12yr Olds well that might be over stating it a little. But my sis has been spoiled and babied (if that is the right term) and she is really is preaty roten. And pulls that nobody loves me nobody cares about me crap but if that was the case she would me living out in a gutter somewhere. Oh then there is the "Its not Fair". "Hello Grow the fuck up". I know that what I'm writing if anyone is reading it may not be verry clear, but oh well. Do to the earlier expolsion plans where thrown off then a new getting pizza plan was put togather. Well I get here and it was not really a real plan. Ok who's got money ? You said you would order it so that means you do? that type of stuff it is enough to make me want to walk infront of a car. Hello can you two learn how to communicate, Sometimes they make me want to rip my own hair out. Ok I think I have vented enough and allready said way to much. Now I feal better. If I'm not on here on friday Hope everyone has a great weekend, and congratulations to everyone on the 5,000,000 views.

Boaring? Day Off
Category: holiday
So I had this plan of watching all these movies today. However when I woke up all congested this morning I took sinus stuff, granted I feal better but it kicked the shit out of me. At least I got to watch somestuff Like The o.c., The L word and airplane, before it knocked me out. Tonight Prison Break and 24 are on so that should be a good time. That being said I'm glad I have the day off. It is nice kinda to not do anything really. I'm not sure if I'm remebering correctly but I think when I was a kid we got school off for both Lincoln and Washington's birthdays as opposed to the one combined holiday. That reminds me the US mint is retrying the Dollar Coin. From what I have read Every few months they will realase a new president. From what I read it will be only dead ones. I havn't looked into the entire list to see how recent they will or what the order is. I'm not sure if the us is ready for the Dollar coin. The last few times it didn't work so well. But I think one of the problems was not enough circulation of the coins. When first minted they where supposed to replace papper dollars because coins last longer. It will be interesting to see what happens with this. I wish I had more exciting stuff to talk about, but that is about it today.

I wonder what (e:Vincent) was trying to say
vincent - 02/19/07 19:58
The $1 coins are a pain. The only way that it would ever work is to stop printing the $ bill and force everyone to adapt as they did in Canada 20 years ago.

They are a total pain if you work with money. Just think of the space and weight of all those coins. When I worked in the Casino Vault they were a total pain. We ended up rolling them but in the end there wasn't really a standard to go by so we rolled them as if they were half-dollars or something crazy like that [to be honest I can't remember] but in the end I think we put them in increments of 25.

Basically the accounting/handling is a pain in an economy that is set up for paper money and electroinic money. Just think the next time you are at a store where the cashier would put your $ coin in their drawer?

If you want to ruin someone's day just pay them in $2 bills, $1 coins and 1/2 dollars and bask in the freaked out looks you'll get in return. Then listen closely to your ears ring as you depart from their place of employment!!!

Can most actors act? updated
Category: acting
I wanted to find an awesome picture of a Black Rose or some cool gothic like valentine image to change to my user picture For V-day but I didn't find one that i like. Ok but onto the reason why I'm posting. Well I borowed this off another serch I did it isn't exactly what I want but it is good enough.

I will admit I love 24 and have to watch it every monday (today 8-10pm) , however I wonder how many of those actors can really act. I think Kieffer can pull it off but he is the only one possibly. Take hugh Laurie (from House) as an example. He has a strong accent but yet when he plays house he plays him where you don't even know he isn't american no matter what he says and he makes him sound like a jerk on top of that. So few actors ever do that anymore. Most actors in major movies play there character in the way that they speak wether it be Sam Jackson, Hugh Jackmen, The Rock, Jude Law, Kevin Spacey or who ever. Yes they do play differant characters in differant movies or even TV sometimes but they never change there voice. Hence when you see an actor you don't see the character you see the actor. But I wonder if this is the actors fault or the writers fault. If someone is just writen words and not a manner of speaking then you will always here the actor. This is true in animation sometimes as well. Sometimes after the people read there lines the mouths are redrawn to fit the voice person. But shouldn't it be the other way around sot that the actor fits with the character. Maybe I'm spliting straws here. But to hear actors in differant voices and manners of speaking would give films more creditablity and make characters move belivable. Or maybe I just have to see a wider range of movies where acents and manner of speaking is more important.
