Dave and I were watching a movie last night and when the police were interogating this suspected murderer randomly this huge black man in a jockstrap and cowboy hat would come in and slap him across the face. It seemed so random and totally odd. But I looked it up and here is what the director said. By the by this was like a real movie with Al Pacino not some crazy random thing.

R: There's a giant black enforcer in a jockstrap who shows up in Cruising's interrogation sequence. What the hell was that?

WF: That was a real thing that happened -- constantly. Not just in cases involving crimes in the gay world. And that's the guy who did it. I forget his name. When they were interrogating a suspect -- and this is before Miranda rues and legal restrictions on cops to beat a confession out of somebody -- who they thought was guilty or wasn't talking to them, they had this big African-American cop come in in a jockstrap and a cowboy hat and whack the guy and walk out of the room. The witness would get into court and his lawyer would say, "The only reason he confessed is because they beat it out of him." The judge was often in on it, and he'd say, "Who beat it out of him?" "It was a big black guy in a jockstrap and a cowboy hat!" And the judge would say, "In a police station? You've gotta be kidding. Three years!" I would have to say that was standard police procedure, especially in the '60s.

It was really crazy!

So i just read that it is now legal to import chicken from China. Which whatever you think about that it is what it is BUT here is the super weird part. The chickens have be born and raised in the US or Canada and then can be shipped to China for processing and then shipped back. HOW CAN IT BE CHEAPER TO SHIP CHICKEN ACROSS THE PACIFIC AND BACK instead of just processing it here. If the whole process took place in china I could maybe see how it oculd be cheaper but really raised here and then shipped there defeathered and cut up and shipped back? NO WAY! It seems so crazy!

Also, the party is in two days and i still have no ideas for a costume. This makes me fear it is going to be another Troll like year, that was a terrible costume year, even I can admit that.....

....maybe seeing this will give me inspiration to kick my butt in gear...

Well I just watched Carrie (the original version) with (e:libertad) tonight. Well let me tell you , it is the most depressing movie ever. It isn't really scary and like I can see why people say it is good but really it was just depressing. Everyone was so mean to her. AND THEN JUST AS things seem to be going so well for her and she and Tommy are so happy at the prom , why did they have to pour the pigs blood. If Tommy was in on it maybe it would have been a little less depressing somehow, just all around meannes. But he was actually being nice and so was the teacher and then they just die too! Poor Carrie, poor tommy, poor overly glamorized gym teacher! It was frankly just so depressing. I was hoping this time it would have a different ending and just end with her and tommy and sue being great finds and living happily ever after but it did NOT HAPPEN!

Also, I did find the end a little hilarious where the girl who survived's mom says to her friend on the phone "she will be ok, her doctor said she is young enough that she will forget" . UMMM she was a senior in highsschool and all her friends were killed in terrible ways in front of her? LIke there willl be noone left of her age in her town and then their neighbors house burned down into hell? Oh yeah she will prolly forget that in no time!

It's back to disney channel and hallmark for me , at least there is usually something uplifting at the end in those movies!

P.S. I have been meaning to write about my10 year estrip anniversary, it is comning soon

So this old lady who like loooves me at RiteAid who I have not seen since I started at IHA almost 3 yeARS AGO came in tonight. SHe totally freaked out when she saw me and was so excited and it was sooo cute. It was seriously cute and amazing, like she was soo excited! BUT at first she didn't belive it was me and she later said it was because I have "filled out". That is not what a boy who turned 30 wants to hear! Anywho it was still amaze seeing her, it is moments like that that make me realize I can never leave RiteAid. I love my seniors and they love me right back.

Side note I just realized this past September was my 10 year elmwoodstrip.com anniversary and I didn't even celebrate! Gotta do something to celebrate!

For some reason I just can't get into Halloween this year. I don't know what to be but I haven't even really thought about it much. I only have 4 days and seriously have no idea but haven't even been looking. i don't know why this year I just can't get as excited about it for some reason. Hopefully my creativity and care kicks in soon!
