Horses In The City

Even though I can't afford a house in LA, I thought I'd check some of the real estate listings. This one looked good. I was happy to see that the rooms were still alive but disappointed that there was no horse.

Sentence Sandwich On Paragraph

Recently, I've become very interested in learning about the Los Angeles riots that followed the aquital of the officers who beat Rodney King. Sixty people died and thousands of buildings burned to the ground before the national guard got things under control after an entire week of chaos. Just imagine that. The only thing akin to it is war, which, for some reason, also intrigues me to no end. When I get to LA, I'd like to visit the areas that sparked the madness. I'm not sure if that's such a wise idea, though.

I think I would have enjoyed being a Disney Imagineer before Isner ran the company into the ground (in the imaginative sense, anyway).

Tonight, I watched a bunch of kids break dancing on the quad. Looks like fun. Maybe next time I'll join them. Of course, I'll quickly realize that I have no hope of learning since I'm a geeky white kid with a shameful sense of musicality.

A Good Idea

Which would you choose: going to a new city alone with a great job waiting for you, or going to a new city with a small group of good friends but without having yet found a job? I would choose the latter. Unfortunately, I don't have a choice.

It would be a great adventure to have about four friends willing to simply pick a city to live in and then move there trusting that God will provide income once you arrive. It wouldn't be difficult to do at all, especially for recent college grads who don't have families, mortgages, etc. Anyone wanna try this with me? I'm thinking New York. I'm being serious, people.

Batman Begins

Batman Begins is easily the best of the Batman films. I waited long for this installment, hoping it would attain to the great potential promised, but not delivered, by its predecessors. I was not disappointed.

If you've seen the previews, then you might already know that this film is less about a man in a bat suit and more about what motivates a man to achieve his ideals. Make no mistake, there is plenty of action (also better than the any of the other movies), but it strikes a fine tuned balance with character development that was all but absent in the previous films. I especially enjoyed seeing Alfred play a larger role.

Also, I should note that the writers did an excellent job creating a plausible explanation for the emergence of the fantastic villains to come. No spoilers here; go see the movie.

I just wonder if they'll end the series here or make more films. After Batman and Robin I said, "enough is enough," but now that they know what they're doing I wouldn't mind seeing more.

How'd you like my first movie review?

What Happened To The Legos?

Here's another humorous website from my friend, Troy. This one is about Legos.

Nameless

Today I finally worked up the nerve to open the relocation information package from Northrop Grumman. It took about two minutes for me to get so confused that I put it away again. Moving to California is either going to be very good or the greatest mistake of my life. At least it won't be boring.

New subject, sans segue. Lately, I've been trying to spend time with friends, but it's difficult trying to get schedules to coincide and such. I can't do everything people want me to do and I feel like I'm being a disappointment. Furthermore, it seems that when I do hang out with friends I end up doing or saying something that offends them. I am not happy about this.

From analysing friendships, I think I've caught an insight as to what marriage is all about. If nothing else, getting married just guarantees that you'll have at least one good friend who will always make time for you, will always work through relational differences with you, and will follow you anywhere. Someone who does what other friends and family cannot and will not do. Someone always there. Kind of like how God will never leave you, except in a physical sense. That's what is special about it.

Mc Church

"Good morning, and welcome to McDonald's...er...I mean Saint Mary's!" I kid you not, this was the greeting offered by the lecter at mass this morning.
