Why we go to the movies...

Okay, I know that's an interesting title, but when you hear the reason why I chose it, you'll understand. Once in a great while, there comes a movie so incredibly well-done, we have to hear all we can about it. Tonight I got to see such a movie, the likes of which was something I could have never imagined. I went with my family to go see AVATAR. It was made by James Cameron, the same person who made Titanic. I at first thought it was going to be a cheesy over-the-top sci fi flick, but it turned out to be so much more than that. I have never, in my life, seen a movie with such incredible visual effects. It was truly a spectacle. It is the kind of movie that you have to sit through with a bucket of popcorn and a soda to get the full effect, and luckily, this was that movie for me. Last year, the biggest movie of the year was Dark Knight (2008), this year (2009) it's a tie between Star Trek and AVATAR. Although, when the awards come out, I'm really sure that AVATAR will be the movie that beats everything to a bloody pulp. If you ever want to know what it's like to be on a drug trip without the drugs, then go see this movie. It will help you see why it is that we choose to go the movies in the first place...

Sunday Dinners

For as long as I can remember, after church on Sundays, my family has sat down to a nice dinner. My mom being Italian, usually cooks a form of Pasta, with meatballs, bread, and salad. Today was one of those days where my mom went over the top, and I think it was perfect. Now i want to get started with laundry and get a ton of stuff done. i want to read, take a nap, play a game, so I want to get started on all of that...

Christmas countdown

Sorry that I haven't had the chance to keep writing the blog, but now that I'm home, I want to keep up with the blog. I am also going to keep reading plenty of books, as well as writing my book. I am in absolute shock that i only have one more semester of college to go. So now i'm home and I am trying to make the most of the time, going to see friends I haven't seen in a while, going out to the movies, and going on some vacations. I was with my older brother on the Norwegian Sky (cruise), DON'T EVER TAKE THAT SHIP, I was so incredibly disappointed, I don't want to knock Norwegian Cruise lines, because I'm sure that other ships will be cool, but this ship was under my expectations, and I didn't enjoy the food, but I suppose it was a good thing, because I wasn't stuffing my face, and gaining a whole lot more weight. I am committing myself to losing weight this year, and making myself happier. I saw Biggest Loser a couple of times this week, and there was an episode where they look back on past contestants and see their progress. There was this guy named Erik. He won the show like 4 years ago, lost more than 200 pounds, and now he gained back 175 pounds!!!!!!!! I don't want to be that guy, because i got back from Japan weighing like 288 pounds, and now i'm up to 312. I have had it with myself, I am going to lose weight again, and i am going to get healthy...

Christmas is around the corner, and I want to do some great things for my family, i am also going to be buying our tree, and probably going to be getting some recipes done for cookies to bake with my nephews, Christmas is a good holiday, but I want to figure out what to give back as well. I will blog again soon.

PEACE!
