As some of you know, I have finally gotten my dates for the whole army jiggalou. I'm leaving this friday, the 3rd of October, for my basic training at Fort Jackson, S Carolina. I'll be there through the 12ish of December and be out up until the 10th or so of January. So I'll hopefully be able to see a few people in that 3 weeks time. I plan on not being in Florida the entire time, though

I apologize for the delay in posts, but I have just finished my first week of work at my new job and am quite tuckered. After not having to stand for more than 4 hours at a time for over 4 months, working 8 hour shifts is not quite as easy as it used to be. But this phase shouldn't last too much longer and it will all be easy once more.The only bad thing I have to say about my job is the person I

So, not much has happened in the past almost week, which is why I haven't posted as of yet. The only real news is, as the title suggests, I got a job. The best part about it is that it was the second place I applied to and I got hired on the spot, yay. Apparently my almost 2 years of prior experience at Pizza Hut got me an Assistant Manager postition at Little Ceasars. Yay for way too much

Guess what everyone?!? After over a year of recovering from all the typing I did at Bryan, I'm back at it again with my hilarious antics and witty dialogue. Or at least my dialogue, no real promises on the witty though.I've decided to actually start blogging a bit more than the movie reviews, though if I see a new one I'll still want to tell you guys about it. Speaking of 'you guys', I'm not

Why must these dreams keep haunting me?Not that they’re bad,For that would be too easy to put out of my mind.It’s just they’re so . . .Close.It’s not that they feel real either.In fact,If they were real, they

I know not why you have come for me. Your face invades my dreams. Why must you drag me from this paradise? Why have you come for me? My bones are breaking underneath thy feet. The pain encompasses me. Your fire covers my every thought and deed. Why have you come for me? This is my life, my comfort, my needs. Why must you take this away from me?

I've decided to write a post about what I'm feeling right now at this moment, instead of planning it out before hand.Umm, I'm tired, and I want to go to bed.So much for original and innovative thought. It has been quite busy today though. I went to the Tivoli in downtown Chattanooga today which is where our film festival/oscars night will be held so that was a long drive and draining. Then we

I've posted two movie reviews today haven't I? That's quite a few for one day. And just think, I still have two more I'd like to do. This might take me a while. I really would appreciate your comments on my reviews as I would love to improve them for your benefit. I'm writing them sort of specifically for people who I know who might want an idea of the film before seeing it. I'm not sure

Plot: The film is about William Wilberforce, an 18th century abolitionist in British Parliament. It follows his journey in politics in trying to make the slave trade illegal, as well as emphasizing his spiritual struggle during this time period in his life.The Bad Stuff (told you I'd change it): There's nothing in it that stood out to me as objectionable. There might have been a bit of

Plot: Jim Carrey plays a dog catcher who is given a book by his wife to read one night about a man who is obsessed with the number 23. This doesn't bother him until he starts to see many parallels between his life and the character's in the book. He then goes on this wild trip into paranoia and fear as he tries to find out who the author of the book is and how the story ends.Objectionable

Only one more day left, and I'll be on my way home for spring break!Quite honestly though, even though I love my family very much, they're not the ones I miss the most. I miss my friends and hanging out with them at the best coffee shop in the world. Whoopie Not-Goldburg! That was really random. Anyway, I have only one class tomorrow at 11 then I have the rest of the afternoon off, then on

Plot: The movie is about a young man (played by Tony Jaa) from Thailand who's father raises elephants. He is taught as a boy about the warriors in ancient times who protected the Emperor's elephant's from enemy soldiers during battle, and how they should learn to protect the elephants as well, even though there are no more wars using elephants.

Plot: The film is about a man named Yuri who decides to become a gunrunner not too long before the end of the Cold War. It follows his life from this point through till the supposed end of his career.Objectionable Content: It's not incredibly violent even though it is about an illegal gunrunner; but it has it's moments.

I just was introduced to an amazing band called Eluveitie. They are a folk/metal band, which is my favorite genre as of now. They are absolutely incredible. You can get a free download of one of their songs on their website here. I am addicted and ordered their CD, I'm so stoked beyond words! Check them out, if for no other reason than to hear an amazing musical genre.I've got their free

I'm so freaking tired!Maybe it has something to do with the 3.5 hours of sleep . . . Nah! That doesn't affect how tired you are. Ok, maybe it does. But the movie was good! It was worth it!It really was worth it, but it still doesn't change the "I'm tired" fact. At least I got all my homework done before the movie, so I won't get in any trouble :D That's all for now, I'm not sure why I even

Soooo . . .Tonight I hung out with Ben, Julie, and Jack. We went to Chatty and chilled at Steak N Shake, then went to the bridge thingie across the river from downtown. It was quite fun, if it wasn't' for the fact that it was 23 degrees out. My jacket isn't particularly warm for this kind of weather, so it wasn't particularly enjoyable in and of itself. It's been a tough week, as I've been

This is my first ever poem.I Will NotWhen the darkness surrounds you, I will not be there to light your way.When there is not a soul in sight, I will not come over the horizon.When you have no hope, I will not be there to comfort you.When the gnashing of teeth encompasses your being, I will not be there to stop it.When the wails of the eternally damned ring in your ears, I will not

Hello to all you out there that plan on actually reading this blog every once in a while. It's been a weird day today, as I missed both my classes and chapel because of sickness. Yuck! I would prefer to feel well. Anyway, the most interesting part of the day was my Medium of Film class this evening. Tonight we met with some other students and started discussing and assigning roles to play in

Just this past Saturday, I had the chance to go see Pan's Labyrinth, directed by Guillermo el Toro. As this is my first review, it might by a little choppy, but hang in there until I get a good system going.Warning! I will try not to spoil the film for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, but I can't promise anything.Plot The film is about a young girl, Ofelia, in Spain during the Civil War. Her
