Ahh, The Weekend That Wasn't...

Well, this week was of course one of the coldest weeks in my life. Nothing like walking to your car and having your nose hairs freeze and having trouble breathing because your lungs are trying to jump into your coat pocket! But alas, the week ended and the frigid temps surrendered like a virgin on prom night. But it did give me the chance to do something I haven't done in, well, maybe never. What was it, you ask? yes, I stayed in all weekend...I watched movies, drank hot chocolate, slept, watched another movie, went to the movies, you starting to get it? It was nice, relaxing and most importantly...Cheap. I didn't realize how nice it was to go a weekend without spending 200$ on booze and bar food! And now Sunday has rolled around and I feel fresh, rejuvenated and excited to start a new week of work, WHAT? no, I did not say that! but this brings me to my point: the weekend is too short, why can't Fridays be a permanent half day at the minimum. People in this country take themselves too seriously. 2 weeks vacation for a year is a joke, and only having 2 days off every week is even worse. So I would like to start a petition to, at the bare bottom, make all Fridays half days and casual half days at that! Are you with me? I have always been used to the weekend going by quickly due to my binge drinking, waking up, showering and then drinking some more, I wake up and its like whoops! I got to go to work! But this weekend I didn't drink, I didn't party, I didn't steal a squad car, or walk home in the snow with no coat, and pass out by a tree( we all know who done that!) shout out! anyway, I didn't partake in the usual weekend and it was still way too short! what's the point of the weekend anymore? you can't even hardly count Sunday, cause all day you dread going to work the next day! So in the harsh reality of it all, you get one day off to enjoy a week! So please comment away and let me know if you are with me, to end the madness! Someone come up with a name for our movement? I can't wait to read what ya come up with!

Also, just to let you know, the movies of the weekend: Appaloosa-worth watching if you like old throw back westerns. Ed Harris is good in it, and the supporting cast provide believable roles and bring some life to their characters, the movie flows nicely and is entertaining, if you like the genre. Which I do. 2) Waitress, if you like pies you might like this little charmer, if you don't like pies, you will when it is over! It is a tale of dreaming for something better and blah blah blah...not that good..3) Gran Torino- Vintage Clint Eastwood was the headline I saw and it is pretty true. If you like Dirty Harry and what not you will like his performance as an old school war vet, hell bent on kicking some ass. The dialogue, with all the racist comments are pretty funny after you get past the initial shock of some of them and you realise you are suppose to laugh. It is worth seeing and does not go down the path you might be turned off by " and 8 year old man taking down a gang!" check it out. 4.) 7 pounds- the reviews have torn this movie apart, I do not know why? Maybe I have gone soft, or maybe it is my huge man crush on Will Smith, but I really enjoyed it, that is about all I can say without ruining it for ya. see it and let me know what you think. gotta run. Don't forget to stay tuned for a posting by "E" this week and for the first trial run of a video blog Feb 1st! Go and enjoy your week and remember when Friday rolls around.....Take a 1/2 Day!!!!
