Transformers and Graffiti

I have a couple of things on my mind. The first would be these punks who think it's cool to go and tag buildings with their tag name. Let me just say it's not cool and just because you put your name on it doesn't mean anything. It's like these punks want to own things but don't know the real way of going out there and owning it. I won't lie I remember when I did tagged a wall in my building when I was younger. I thought "I'm cool now and this friend of mine I was hanging out with would think I'm even cooler". Well that "friend of mine" was never cool and I shouldn't have taken the marker from him. People who put graffiti on walls or any type of property that's not there's should know that they just waste people's times and that somewhere the property owners are either laughing and/or disgusted with that type of behavior. These aren't ancient times where we need to leave behind records on the wall that we were here; we have plenty of multimedia to prove to the future that we were here.


Hung out with one of my brothers last night. We went and saw the new Transformers movie. We both enjoyed it. The movie used a little bit of everything to draw in the viewers such as well timed jokes, some T&A (that I couldn't care for), some cliched lines from Optimus Prime, awesome music that never stopped playing and let's not forget the special effects (my brother told me afterwards "that the special effects could have been better). Everything that action movie fans love. The theater was lively as everyone in there seemed to be amazed by these alien robots that have come to help the human race out. Most theater goers got what they wanted out of the movie no matter what the corny lines were being said. I believe it's what we expected and what we wanted. It most likely reminded the parents who accompanied their children of the time when they were growing up and watching these cartoon robots go into war with each other over our planet. It probably brought them back to a simpler time in their life and with all the bad news being reported by our super hyped media that is looking for ratings or more magazine/news paper sales who can blame someone for being taken away into a world that for a couple of hours. The movie was just what a lot of people needed and it was cool to hear Optimus Prime say "Autobots roll out!".

Changes

Okay, I started this blog with the intention of just writing about the nba playoffs. It turns out that two months later the playoffs are over and the Lakers are champions of the basketball world. That's fine by me. Life is bigger than basketball. I've been busy trying to do my part in getting our wedding together. Everything is finally turning out okay. At first it didn't look like we wouldn't get everything together but you know what with a little teamwork and compromise along the way we are finally there. This one has to be a short one. I'm tired plus my Baby is on the phone : )
