Sunday, October 14th, 2007

I was a party tonight at my friend’s place. It was to celebrate her marriage. Me and couple of others weren’t too happy about this courthouse union to a guy who was definitely less than par. He works at Lowes and she has “temporarily” dropped out of school to work full time at Walmart. You [...]

No, But I Saw the Movie

Monday, October 8th, 2007

I HATE it when I get this response when I ask someone if they’ve read a certain book. Don’t people know that not everything in a book could fit into a 120 minute feature film? Take any of the last couple of Harry Potter books, if everything from the book was filmed then the movies [...]
