Scorpion King

I recently watched another old favorite of mine Scorpion King. I’m talking the first one not the second or the third because they blasted away on a crap level and deviated away from the storyline a lot. Anyways the first one had the Rock in it and what was really interesting is that he is a good actor because a lot of famous people who try and go from one profession to acting usually suck. Now he being in the movie didn't take away from it having a great story plot. It's story had a great major theme which isn't known in the very beginning but is explained very well later on unlike some movies were you kind of have to guess what period of time it is or who the villain of the story is.

The action in the movie was great but I’ve always liked swords and arrow bows action movies which could blind my judgment on it a little bit but friends of mine say they liked the action and there not movie people like me. When I watch this movie I wonder if assassin’s creed games took some things from it but I don't know exactly when the first one came out. Another thing that makes this movie great is the fact that it was made from the creators of The Mummy, newish one not the black and white one, which is an awesome movie so if you liked it you like this to. It’s got the same little supernatural combined with action, vicious bugs and people with red hat scarf things on there head.

 

This movie is a great movie to anybody who likes a movie that isn’t very slow paced but still has an understandable story. There is also some half nude people but its only pg-13 so it’s not that bad especially if you’re a guy. Anyways if you’ve never seen the scorpion king or have seen him in his scorpion form in the second Mummy you should really give it a try.

 

Halloween

I've always loved Halloween as a kid growing up. It was my second favorite holiday besides Christmas. I always loved to dress up as a character and go around being like them which still makes want to do it nowadays but people kind of put an age limit on it which really sucks for me because I’m 18. I could try and get away with it because I’m short but it kind of takes away its magic from it. Some of my friends want to go also which makes me want to go because I would get to dress up again but I can’t really spend any money right now and I’m not one of those people who are very creative and good at making their own costume.

 

I hear people say sometimes that they weren’t or aren’t allowed to go trick ‘r’ treating because their parents say it’s the devils holiday. I never understood why that was and I don’t believe there’s a religion says that Oct. 31 is the devils day. Also I’ve heard people say that they weren’t allowed because it was too dangerous you could get kidnapped which you could get kidnapped anywhere at any time. In my opinion the parents must have had a bad experience at Halloween which is why they don’t want their kids to go. I believe Halloween is just a fun holiday to be able to dress up and walk around freely and also get free candy.

 

Pink Floyd

Over the weekend I decided to listen to my Pink Floyd dark side of the moon cd that i had never listened to before. The only Pink Floyd song I had ever heard before was another brick in the wall which a lot of people probably have heard before. So when I started listening to it I thought it wasn’t working or the volume had been turned off because the beginning was silent. I eventually realized that’s how it was supposed to be but the rest of the music was weird. There was a lady who would yell every 5 seconds and also the sound of coins dropping which I could see that could go with the song Money but it wasn’t the only song with that sound. Now I heard that pink Floyd had made a lot of music that only made since if you were high which I could see it if that was true or not.

Now when the lead singer was actually singing it was pretty good actually which for some reason surprised me which it shouldn’t have because I’d heard the song another brick in the wall. Pink Floyd is a well-known band but I don’t ever hear anybody talking about their songs. It is not really the band for me but other may like it .

Bass Guitar

I just bought a bass guitar and I love it so far. I believe people misjudge the bass guitar as boring or  to easy to play and im going to give you a few reasons why if your even interested in playing to give the bass a chance.  My first reason would be if you like a little more jazzy sound to your music or I guess if you kind of like dub step I don’t but I can see how you could like both. Anyways  my next reason is that  the 4 string bass guitar would be easier because there would be less strings but that only makes it a little bit easier and also they got five and six string basses. One bad thing is that you don’t get the rhythm or tone of the song which kind of sucks but it does make you different from everybody else in a band.

Now it sounds like a lot of bad things  but still you should give it a try and also get one used because used gear isn’t bad at all and it’s much cheaper especially if your just starting out.

Longing

I've got a feeling that I get once in a great while which is the feeling of longing. Now this might sound very stupid to some people but this to me is a very bad feeling because am a guy whose body always wants to do something. This weekend I had a relative visit who lived in Arizona and I wanted spend as much time with him as I could but my friends wanted to hang out also. So I longed to do both and went to hang out with my friends but when I was with them I felt a tingle of guilt for not spending that time with my relative.

Now to some people this might sound very silly because my body is always wanting to do everything possible which can be irritating because at the end of a great vacation my body is in motion longing for more of the fun. That is one reason that i came up with this to explain  the feeling I get but it could also be that I just long to spend more time with people who make me happy. I sometimes think that i hang out with people to much because i feel bored and secluded at my house and that could be another reason why i believe that my longing is a little bit stronger than everybody elses.

School

I just like everybody else dislike school. I can see the importance of it but when you’re a senior and you’ve been in school for 12 years you can feel the impatience and frustration. I feel that 12 years might be a little too much because there only teaching us tiny bits of new information every year. Also the amount of pressure put down on you when you’re in school is almost unbearable because your parents, teachers and etc. all forgot about their days in school and think it should be a piece of cake but since the government has been making schools raise up there education were learning things that used to be taught in colleagues.

You don’t have a lot of free time which a lot of people don’t but you need a break from it or you start to forget to do homework and do bad on test (which I’ve never done very good test) which affects your grade which if you’re like me you get in trouble with your parents who seem to always be watching you r grades for low grades. Another thing is that at my school you need to earn enough credits to graduate and that to puts a lot of pressure on a person.

The last thing about school that bothers me is the fact that there are kids out there that like school and hardly have to work to get a good grade when people like me force ourselves to get out of bed, cram our brains full of things and study our butts off to only get low scores and feel like crap. Well that’s the small reasons why I dislike most of our current school system now and wish that it would change.

Kum 'n' Go

I am going to talk about these giant gas stations that have been popping up everywhere and have a very unique name to them. When you first here of Kum ‘n’ Go you think of just another small time gas station with a simple name until you go there see things like how the stations name is spelled or the size of it. Most of the Go’s I’ve been to our huge with enough gas tanks to fill a hundred cars. You walk inside and you get an even bigger surprise. My first impression when I walked in was huge and clean. One of the greatest things about Go is that they sell the best icee’s which they call kolees because icee’s are a trademark company so they can’t use the name.

The flavors are special because you don’t usually get icee’s that are Coca-Cola, Dr. Pepper and Mountain Dew flavored for a good price to. They also surprisingly sell movies and video games well actually just one video game Madden something. The movies are pretty diverse from one another going from old to just came out to dvd. They of course got pizza, doughnuts ( I think if never actually checked for them because I don’t eat a lot of doughnuts), weird cheese curd balls and etc. My personal favorite thing in the whole store thought is there Kum “n” Go products. Yes I know this might sound stupid but I thought it was cool so I bought a Kum ‘n ‘ Go shirt, jacket and blanket which is only a few things they got like flasks, bottles, lighters and etc. I also got a free newspaper in there but I never read it and used it as wrapping paper for a friend’s gift.

The service there is great and I’ve never met someone who works there who was rude. Now you got to wonder though what they were thinking when they were making the name for it and what’s even worse is the fact that there motto is we go all out which I’d rather not get to far into a discussion on it because some people might not want to hear how Kum is pretty close to cum. Anyways if you’ve never been to a Kum ‘N’ Go you should try it out you might have an interesting experience  going there and maybe buy some of their merchandise either as a joke or if you really need clothes badly.
