Hello ALL!I hope that you all had a wonderfully AWESOME weekend and that life is treating you wonderfully! I had a great weekend, and this week is starting off amazing. I have no other explanation for it. Today’s blog title is brought to you by the never aging Madonna. Although I can’t reveal why I feel like a Lucky Star, I will tell you it is phenomenal and I am grateful and happy! So with that…here goes….
1. Dear Hulu, I humbly apologize for neglecting you this weekend…it’s just I wasn’t at home much and when I was, there were always people over. So, I will make it up to you tomorrow…maybe.
2. My car was stolen and vandalized over the weekend, and they recovered it with all of the windows smashed out. I had to drive it home in that condition…fun stuff. Oh well. Life goes on. If there is a next time I just hope they keep the damn thing and run it down to Mexico.
3. I owe all apologists of “The Notebook” an apology. As you will read below in the Rachael Real moment…
4. Dying for a Six Flags Magic Mountain trip, haven’t been in YEARS!
5. Playing scrabble, you learn words that you didn’t know existed. Also Pete, that photo is for you…YOU will never beat me. FYI.
6. My Septuagenarian man crush Clint Eastwood has a phenomenal movie coming out on DVD and Blue Ray today called Gran Torino. If you want to watch a phenomenal film that has both humor and great story line…watch this movie. I wouldn’t steer you wrong.
7. If life keeps giving you lemons…well you know the rest. Seriously don’t let the juice get you in the eye…keep your head up, eyes open, brain focused…and then find somebody with some vodka and party it up.
8. Currently functioning today on 1 hour of sleep. That proverbial wall is coming this afternoon and I have my crash test helmet on.
9. The last week with my little Man Jordan was probably the most fun I had with him in the summer. Normally he goes with my parents during the summer months, but this year he’s home. I have enjoyed every moment of it.
10. There is NOTHING good on T.V. at 1a.m. This theory is flawless, as I have scrolled through every channel I possess…and nothing. What..the…HELL!
Rachael Real Moment – I was wrong…and here is what I wrote just over a year ago June 18, 2008 in a blog titled No More Mr Nice Guy:Another thing...I never want to hear the following from any woman that I meet...as I will call you a liar and I will puke..."I want the Notebook type love." First off
It ~ Does ~ Not ~ Exist
Period. Not in this day and age. There is a REASON this movie is framed in the 1940's. Times were simpler, people were simpler, and they knew what they wanted. Do not quote this movie to me again...ever. Matter of fact, my copy of this movie...is somehow going to make it's way down the toilet the MINUTE I get home today. that is not a joke.
Many of you that have read it (Currently the 2nd most read blog ever of mine) remember that it was more a rant of the state of relationships, and my view on them. Well…I was wrong. Flat out wrong. I am man enough to admit when I am wrong about something, but I am wholeheartedly admitting that “The Notebook” romance exists in this lifetime. Also, I did NOT stuff my copy of the Notebook down the toilet...it did get stolen however, but I got one as a gift for Christmas last year. That is all I can elaborate on at this time and in due time, one day I will explain why I have changed my stance.
Pete Thought of the day – 10 years ago, when I was in college I came up with a bomb idea for a funny movie. I wanted to chronicle how 4 young guys go to Vegas to celebrate an event and one of their friends getting married…and the events that ensue over the course of 5 days. Mine was entitled Several Crazy Nights in Vegas. Now...I had written it and submitted it to a few talent agencies in Hollywood…all of which rejected it with a standard form letter of “We have an existing property like this so we will pass.” Now that is fine….however too many instances of what I wrote and what appear in The Hangover are similar. Like eerily similar. So I broke out my old script, read it and sure enough, it should just be titled the Hangover. As of Friday, I have contacted an entertainment lawyer to have them look at my script, I can’t sit idle and allow another one of my intellectual properties to be stolen and not get any credit or any money from it. Believe it or not, this is the 3rd film that has been stolen. There will NOT be a fourth.
Mindy Moment – Had a phenomenal weekend. Not sure what I did on Saturday, really it’s a blur. Oh, now I know. We had our first meeting for B.O.N.E. our fraternity we are starting and then Jordan and I hung out. Not much after that. Sunday was more the fun day, it was busy. We went to Tempe Town Lake with my friends McKenna (and her two kids Jason and Ria) and Vanesa (plus her 1 kid Chris) and a few other parents and we played and had an absolute blast! I mean Jordan didn’t want to leave, but we had other things to do. So after that we went to Denny’s (I love breakfast) and then out to Queen Creek to hang with my friends out there for a BBQ. Nothing like BBQ on a hot summer day. That was a wonderfully fun and awesome time. Of course Jordan was mad that the day was over, he really liked being there and didn’t want to go home. I don’t blame him…I had a blast being with my friends.
Julie Happy Thought of the Day – Not sure who came up with the term cloud 9, or what it really means, but I am on that sucker and enjoying the ride of epic proportions. The air seems fresher up here….Love ya Julie :)
Misty Movie Review – Now just because I know The Hangover was hijacked from me, doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy it. Matter of fact, it’s the first recipient of the coveted 5 star award. I mean…I can’t lie it’s hilarious from start to finish. Literally! It might replace Rush Hour 2 as the comedy I can watch over and over and consistently laugh! I am not joking. Check it out. It’s a comedy fest of awesomeness. This movie will go down as the funniest of 2009 and there is already a sequel in the works…
JJ Song of the Week -This song HALO by Beyoncé pretty much sums it up. A very good song, a great video and one that reminds me just how life wonderful can be if you take the time to stop and smell the roses and appreciate everything that is great about life, and the ones you share it with…

Heather Joke of the Day – The “Rescue”This guys town was being flooded to the point of disaster, but he
decided to stay, thinking God would take care of him. Water rose to the
point that it flooded the first floor of his house. Then some people
came by in a boat. "Hey get it the boat and we'll take you to safety,
they called out."
"No thanks! God will take care of me!" he replied.
So the boat went on without him. The water kept rising and he had to
retreat to the second floor of his house. Another boat came by. "Hey get
it the boat and we'll take you to safety, they called out."
"No thanks! God will take care of me!" he replied again.
The water kept rising and the man had to retreat to his roof. A
helicopter came overhead and lowered a rope for him.
"No thanks! God will take care of me!" he replied yet again.
The water kept rising and he drowned. He was at the gates of Heaven and
he pleaded with God, "I had FAITH in you, and you let me down!"
God replied, "I sent two boats and a helicopter for you."

Jordan Quote of the week – “I’m on a boat, I’m on a boat, take good hard look at the M’FING boat” First off the kid LOVES the Lonely Islands I’m on a Boat. He sings it all the time and always cuts out the M”fing word, except for once on Saturday when he said the word, looked at me, apologized and kept singing it. Dude kills me. We are doing a parody of this song…We love it that much. If you can’t laugh at this video…you have no laugh box.
Coming Attractions – Tuesday – So far…nada. In the office today and as I said one hour of sleep. Fun stuff. I am surprisingly wide awake and in the office functioning coherently. Tonight, not sure what I am doing, I do know a nap is in order for sure! Most likely watching the NBA and NHL finals. For some reason…I have THIS stuck in my head…you are welcome.
Wednesday – At home working, that ought to be fun! Not much else going on. No Jordan this week so I am will just be at home.
Thursday – IN the office, the boss will be back so I will have to work doubly hard? O.k. that’s a lie. I am working and writing and trying to get stuff done for the weekend,
Friday – In the office. Most likely writing and hanging out and going to see The Hangover with some friends that haven’t seen it. Fun stuff. Trying to blog? I hope I accomplish that.
