So far my Saturday has been Pretty good, hoping the fights are good tonight. My goal was to see 2 movies and I did not sure how it worked out but it did and I walked "The Strip" for a bit.
I thought The Last Air Bender was pretty good. I have never seen the cartoon, those that have know it is called Avatar (not to be confused with that other movie). Since I haven't seen it I don't know where it lines up story wise. I liked it, my say is that if you like that kind of movie you will like it.
So Twilight Eclipse. I liked it and thought it was good. That being said I still would have liked more action and a little less love story. To me the twilight movies are heavy on the love story. Yes all great Vampire movies do have some love story or romance hidden in there somewhere but it often is the main thrust. I still thought it was pretty good though and liked the action scenes.
On the way home I ate at two places 1st zillycakes . I had no idea what to get so I went with the red cupcake and built from there it was pretty good, I will go back there again and try others.
I admit I often forget about Louie's on Elmwood I stopped there and got a good 1/2 burger. After I ordered I decided I should have gotten a shake the Elvis one sounded really good and so did the black Raspberry one I should have got loaded fries but I didn't feel like spending that much, i still enjoyed what I had, I now have a reason to go back there again.....

4th of July?Category: holiday
So I can admit not sure what I'm doing for the holiday. I can also admit that it seems weird that the 4th is on a sunday so I get monday off, and I have no idea what I will do that day....
Some time ago I thought the 3rd would be a great day to go the Falls and go on the Maid of The mist. I haven't been on since I was a kid, plus it would be cool to take some pictures of the falls from the boat, well assuming I could get to the edge (water camera). But that is out what I think I'm just going to do is order UFC. I want to see the Lesnar fight it could be pretty good, but you never know in fighting. I would be cool to do the Bison's thing with the BPO but it is kinda late notice.
IN terms of the 4th I assume I'm going down to the waterfront to see what ever is going on down there and eat and maybe even drink something. I remember last year was fun. With that the question is, do I find a spot on the grass or do I try and find an edge so I'm over looking the water. Looking over the water was a trip the first time the way those boats hook up to each other is something else..... I wonder what the fireworks look like from a boat. I have no idea if I'm going down there solo or if any of the family is going down, who know we shall see I guess.
I was hoping last week to try Zillycakes maybe this sat. One thing I have to do is go to at least one movie. Yes I do need to see the 3rd Twilight Movie I saw the other 2 so...... But that isn't the only movie I want to see there are some movies that I still haven't made it see yet and I think one of the movies I also want to see opened up yesterday. I'll look into those movies times and then see what happens Sat. Morning. I also have been craving a great burger I wonder if I can make that happen.
Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend!!!! Oh yeah and that no one gets blown up.

Federal Common Law IdeaCategory: sex
I think that any family should be able to have Health insurance and have all members covered who live with them. Sometimes a family might be two moms or two dads or even Life partners who might not be sexual partners. If you are family you are family. I think this should go past Health Insurance though and kids being covered.
Some states have common law marriage or even Partner rights. Why not have this at a federal level. When two people share the same home or live together (kids or not). They go down to a Federal building or court house of some kind and prove they live together. If there are kids then prove where and when they have them. At this point they are registered as a federal union. After so many years maybe 5-7 somewhere in there. They then go back and they file a formal request to joined. Someone verifies it and they are legally one.
At this time if there are any other legal things like a prenup that would be handed over then.
Again Both people would be there.
This would not be a marriage but legally it would be the same in terms of laws and rights.
Religion and faith would have nothing to do with it.
Just the couple would be there in like an office it wouldn't be with other people like you might do with a Justice of the peace.
There would be a process of when people separate to dissolve the contract.
Once you are registered and you separate not letting the feds know would be a crime even before the 5 years.
If you move onto someone else then you let the feds know and then you could live with someone else.
The fact that it is federal and not state is very important. The register would be set up so that you can't live with someone in FL and CA at the same time. That would be a crime just like being married to two people would be. See at the state level this wouldn't be trackable. The other problem is at the state level two people could be "A legal Couple" then move to a different state that doesn't recognize this agreement and then there goes the rights you have. But also think about how crazy Health Care could be. Each Company would have different rules for different states.
The Bottom line is this. I think that everyone should be treated the same, and if you are a family you are a family. It is to bad that we need the government to intervene. Not that I think this will happen but I think it should.

I see this as more then a gay issue. There are all kinds of people who don't get married for all kinds of reasons. I think that any two or maybe even 3 at the most should be able to legaly be family with out getting married. I also think this would force companies like say blue sheild that claim to have Family coverage really have it. Hey if you have two kids and she has two kids (gay or not) and you live together and the kids think of them selves as brother and sis then who ever has the medical insurance should be able to get coverage for them under a family plan. I don't know how property rights go and all of that work. But this law could even be used for like a care giver. What I mean there are somepeople who are in a realtionship with someone and this same person has to take care of them, why can't this person enter into a contract with them that they are partners or what ever you want to call it. I'm not saying take away all the legal rights of marriage but make this the legal equivalant.

I would like to see that as well. If people are really concerned about the sanctity of marriage then we should move all the federal rights to this other legal type union and leave marriage like it is.

Double Sandler and Karate KidCategory: movies
So I wanted to do a video post about this but why staircase was to dark, I didn't have time with buying food to go down elmwood and talking to a camera on a bus with people on it seemed a bit off.......
I thought the Karate Kid was very good. When I saw the preview I expected it to be just like the original. Don't get me wrong I don't remember all the story of the 1st two I was young the last time I saw it. I will admit they had to set up the story before they got into the action and that is ok. I myself thought it was very good. Oh yeah one thing that through me a bit is how much the kid really looks like will smith, it is scary and was tough to get used to but I still liked the movie.
Tonight I'll be watching Funny People (Adam Sandler). I am hoping that it will be very funny. Comedy is a strange thing sometimes what shouldn't be funny is and sometimes it is the other way. Grown Ups to me at least strated out very funny. I thought there was a great cast and a good story. The thing with most of Sandler's films is that they aren't all jokes all movie long, they do put that family or meaning or getting your life on track that kind of thing in his movies and yes that was in there as well. I enjoyed it and had a good time. It was also nice to see Rob Schinder get some movie time and not just saying "You Can Do it". Guessing if you like his other movies you would like this..........

UPDATE:
Turns out Funny People wasn't (to me atleast) a Comedy it was an Adam Sandler Serious movie. Yes there where parts that where funny, like all the stand up scenes.
Next up was Strikeforce on showtime. There where some good fights and I enjoyed that. Frank Shamrock did the Offical Retirement thing. It was a good time.
The next movie I got to see was on Sundance Triade Ellection. It was good but with the subtittles hard to follow. The reason is it was tough for me to follow who was who but I got most of it by the end.

Elmwood and Soccer aka FutbolCategory: estrip
So so far I like the New Estrip. One thing that I have to get used to is that if someone has multiple posts Like (e:vincent) has 3 showing (e:paul) has 2 that I don't have to go in order if I click on the newest one then I can also see the older posts and just go down the line. I haven't tried yet yet to go forward and see how that works.
Oh yeah the Youtube Video I figured I should test out so I made one. Yes it is dark and after that looks kinda trippy. The point I was trying to make is that Yes The World Cup is a big event but I just can't really get into soccer. I think part of what I don't like is that it takes time to go down the field and then often once you get down there no one scores. I'm also kinda the same way about Elmwood. I like the strip and there are a lot of great places but often I don't go places or I forget about places, I just went to the New ETS last weekend. I was going to buy an I heart shirt when I first saw them but then all the girls started wearing them, so I was like I don't know they are like a girl style now. I didn't really say all this in the video though. I have wanted to try Toyoko Shanghi since it opened and never gone, I forget about Louie's all the time, I can't tell you the last time I was in an elmwood bar, guessing St. Pats to Jackdaw (Yes ran into Timika and Jenks so that was some time ago), that is just a guess. So as much as I like Elmwood I don't use it as much as I should. I do think that part of it is because I think of Elmwood as for 4 kinds of people and I'm not any one of them:
1. The Cool People
2. The People who live really close and shop there
3. The Un-cool people who are now cool for not being cool (would that be a hipster)
4. The people who come from the burbs.
Well this all started out just as a test to see if the video works hope some people like it. I'm also hoping to use Elmwood more then I do......

I forgot to mention that a couple of things, I like that when you comment on a post and someone else does that you get that comment as an e-mail.
Back to the video Blog thing. I didn't watch much of the video yes she had a great voice and was very hot (pass the choclate sauce and whip cream please to start with), but just couldn't get into the computer thing. I don't like follow a script but I do kinda know what I want to say, maybe I'll do one this weekend, won't do the nude thing somehow that wouldn't work but maybe try some shirtless thing or maybe talk about If I see a movie about the movie I saw when on a bus, that might be an idea, we shall see.......................

Doing video unless some hot chick is dumb enough to come back home with me won't replace writing. See when you write and have a pause in thought not a big deal but video wise it is bad. The 1st video blog or vlog was just a bit to long so youtube tossed it off. I may do more of them, not really sure. I wondering how a walk past spot would work but that would just be a video really. In terms of the screaming part that is something I used to do a lot where you kinda hold the sound of the last letter, to do it right there is no quiver and it just goes on. That being said I have only done it inside and don't know how it would fly outside? I used to do a pretty good siren, well not as well as the guy from Police Acadamy, did that once outside and someone pulled over so that was the end of that, not sure I could do that anymore though.

Nice. I like your video blog - the screaming part at the end was awesome. I have a hard time with them myself. (e:lilho) and I tried a bunch of times when I first got a video phone/camera. The problem was we would always videoing people like annika who would get angry with us, or end up making fools of ourselves. A lot of the later in late night drunken crazy moments. Some people totally awesome like this hot computer/video game girl. :::link:::

I have a few videos up there. I honsetly don't think anyone will really watch them. I just throw them up there and don't tag them or anything. I may have named this one something. So I assume no one will really see them. I may try it some more who knows.
I have to add some stuff about soccer
1. Watched the cousins play
2 Been to stallon's game not that I really remember it
3. Been to atleast one Blizzard's game
4. Have watched soccer and liked it
5. At one point I knew all the rules
6. Cornor kicks and throw ins or what ever those other things are called is exciting
7. Back when you didn't need a passport I thought about going up to see a Toronto game I think that would be fun (out side league)
8. Not sure if the league the Blizzard are in is still around but I would go see one of those games or another outside game in person (never been to one)
I just can't really get into it, but that doesn't mean I think it is bad. Oh yeah Bend it like Beckham was a good movie what little I remember of it.

Kudos for having the balls to put yourself out there on YouTube. I'm just afraid of people leaving stupid ignorant comments in my vlog. I write crazy stuff and pour my entries that just scream my sad life and issues to the world, but I have no problem with that at all. I have just seen too many nasty comments in people's vlogs on there that I'm just straight up apprehensive.

As Much Fun as UFC was I kinda wish I could have watched and seen fireworks but I couldn't figure out how. I did hear a bunch of them going off around 10:20 wasn't sure if they where downtown or people on the west side. Where did you see them last night?
We are probably going to go there again, not sure though. There were so many fireworks last night that I wonder if it was last night.
