Thanks, gang.
I moved out of that house last week and into a nice house of my own. The problems I'll have deal with the legal stuff with the property owners. I hate to say this, cause it sounds like whining to me, but I sometimes think my life is a country song. Everything seems to sour on me. I am a brain-injury survivor (recovered from a cerebral hemmorhage & multiple concussion -- wasn't supposed to live), my childhood was abusive, I keep running into bad luck. Yeah, I know, I know, I keep coming through, but there's only so much one can take before suffering a collapse. Right now, I am on the edge of an emotional breakdown.... |

I am feeling really down today. I got word earlier that a good friend of
mine and former professional wrestler in the WWF and in Stampede Wrestling, Bad News Allen/Brown passed away this morning of heart failure. Two weeks ago, I got word from my brother that my uncle had died. Last week, a colleague (I have spoken and worked with him several times, but never met in person) passed away from cancer. I am currently stressing over outstanding bills that are outstanding because I was stupid enough to agree to keep utilities and gas bills in my name in a "boarding house", and discovered this world is full of parasites who refuse, though they are fully capable, to pay their own way. I am about to engage in a fight with the house owner over the outstanding funds ($1600 total). I am sure I will get a settlement, but not before my credit is totally ruined. All of this has robbed me of sleep, an appetite, and the desie to do anything anywhere, for anyone. I'm beyond tears right now. I don't know how much longer I can "hold it together", and am honestly having difficulty wanting to do even that.... Sorry for the post, but I thought that maybe putting all this down might help. Not so sure it has.... |

Thank you,LAMom!
Sluggo, I decided not to talk about the special effectrs of the Brosnan/Dalton movies, though I do agree. Of course Moore's films got more ridiculous as the years went on. Sorry, but Moonraker was just stupidc at points with some of the crap. If you're gonna louse up a story with special effects, at least make them good, right? Speaking is Sci Fi, what do you think of the reworked Battlestar Galactica? |

More Bond trivia: Pierce Brosnan was supposed to replace Roger Moore,
but NBC (I think it was them) went and renewed his 5 yr. contract to keep him away from the series, even though they had plans to cancel Remington Steele before the renewal was made. Timothy Dalton played Bond at 41. He was offered the role when he was in his 20's but he declined, thinking he was too young for the part. |

Call me old school but here's why I liked Connery best. If you have ever
read the novels, he came closest to catching that sense of who Bond is in the books. (I always read the books. If a movie is made from a novel, I'll pick that up before seeing the movie. It helps give insight into the character, storyline, etc. Connery best captured that ruthlessness that the novelization had in it. I wont read a book that was written based on the movie though, waste of time). Ruthless, mean streak and a capacity for uber violence that Moore just fails to deliver. I see the Roger Moore Bond, and I see too much "I Spy". Dont get me wrong, Moore is entertaining and he was good both in I Spy and his Bond films, but his Bond comes off as a bit of a parody to me. Lazenby just couldn't live up to Connery and bowed out of his 7 film deal, and after seeing OHMSS I know why he did the right thing. The plot and story were good Sluggo, but simply failed for me. I cant help thinking it would've been a major hit if it was Connery... Lazenby just came off too wimpy. Dalton was probably the closest of all the Bonds to the creation of Fleming, but the actor himself is a little wooden in the movies, like he just felt obligated.. going through the motions. Brosnan returned Bond back to something similar to what Connery brought, and I put him at 2A (2B is Dalton, because of the likeness to the character in the books). I enjoyed his movies, but he went and priced himself out of the role. I confess I havent seen Casino Royale yet, but plan to when it hits Movie Central. |

Pepsi SUCKS!!!!!!
Coke is The REAL thing! And, I can tell the difference a MILE away! I always wonder if a product is so popular because of the ads we all see on the tv.... did you know both Pepsi and Coke use fruit juice in their flavoring? Pepsi uses lemon, and coke uses orange.... Side note... Who here is anti-KFC because of the way they supposedly kill their chickens? |

Dalton is from Wales (British, yes...)

Roger Moore and Daniel Craig are the only two english actors to play
Bond. where are Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan, George Lazenby, and Timothy Dalton from? |

Trivia question: Only two of the 6 Bonds were actually British actors.
Name them... |

Practically the longest-running franchise in modern times, 007's
lifeline looks like it's not going to end soon. There have been a total of 6 different Bonds: Sean Connery (6 official movies, one "ubofficial") George Lazenby(1 movie) Roger Moore (7 movies) Timothy Dalton (2 movies) Pierce Brosnan (4 movies) Daniel Craig (1 movie...so far) Who's your favorite, and who is/was the best Bond? These can be two separate questions with two separate answers.. All time, best-ever: Sean Connery! He was a charmer and a womanizer and got away with it; He could out-bluff the most experienced gambler; dress in a killer tux, kill a bad guy while wearing the tux, get the tux bloodstained, go to the party, win the baccarat game, pick up the girl, and save the world. He was polished in the centre, but rough around the edges: The perfect gentleman-spy! Your turn! |

Through The Past, Darkly...

All my days have fallen by
Ancient tears of broken dreams; Swept along upon a broken path Of lost ideas and missing schemes. In these tears pooled are waves of joy And currents overflown with sorrow. Though long gone, they're with me still, Preparing me for one more tomorrow. One more day when anything And everything may pass this way Has swept me up so rapidly Too soon becoming one more yesterday. I look back upon the twisted path Along which my life has guided me And see a million broken dreams Mixed among the leaves of memories. All I wound up having left behind Comes back to haunt me like ghostly songs: Shattered dreams, drowning me -- Making me wonder what the hell went wrong. |

Question about CA-MRSA

This is one of the reasons I believe in the old-school adage of letting
my kid get a little dirty form time to time. And no drugs for minor issues. Antibiotics are NOT for viruses, and only cause the bugs to develop resistance to them. We can let our immune systems develop stronger resistance with the "good foods" and avoiding things like advertized "anti-bacterial" soap, etc. This type of soap is ultimately a waste of money anyway. All you really need is a good old fashioned bar of no-name stuff. Why do we collectively insist on believeing all the things said in advertizing, when the majority of what is said is a fallacy? When reading or hearing about a great product, remember to take the information with a grain of salt, always... |

Gays in Pro Sports
|

i was listening to a sports program on my drive home from work last
night and they talked about this. One of the guy's teammates talked about feeling uncomfortable because he had this thought that his gay teammate was attracted to him and all the athletes walk around naked in the lockerroom. I find this somewhat narcissistic. Who does this guy think he is, god's gift, thinking that just becaue the guy two stalls down is gay, he must want to get the old reach around going. Think of it this way: Women get naked in front of their straight male doctors, and I bet at least 80% of them dont end up doing the nasty.... If I was on a team that was comprised mainly of girls who got naked and changed in the lockerrom after the game, I'd be a little tired out from playing the game to ogle smelly, ssweaty women.... Until AFTER the showers.... ![]() |

BLOND JOKES!!!

Three women are about to be executed for crimes. One's a brunette, one's
a redhead, and one's a blonde. Two guards brings the brunette forward, and the executioner asks if she has any last requests. She says no, and the executioner shouts, "Ready . . . Aim . . ." Suddenly the brunette yells, "earthquake!!" Everyone is startled and looks around. She manages to escape. The angry guards then bring the redhead forward, and the executioner asks if she has any last requests. She says no, and the executioner shouts, "Ready . . . Aim . . ." The redhead then screams, "tornado!!" Yet again, everyone is startled and looks around. She too escapes execution. By this point, the blonde had figured out what the others did. The guards bring her forward, and the executioner asks if she has any last requests. She also says no, and the executioner shouts, Ready . . . Aim . . ." The blonde shouts, "fire!!" |
