- If you're a person that has lived on the east coast mostly all of your life.. and thought that California was the land of sunshine and beautiful people.. (thanks to the countless tv shows depicting Orange County) well, you're only half right.. it's not the case up here in North California. And this is how i'm experiencing it.

I Now Pronounce You CHUCK & LARRY movie review


This movie is gay. Yes, indeed. But with that simple remark is what causes ignorance amongst people in our culture.

This movie is about two straight male firefighters: Larry (played by Kevin James) whose wife passed away about a year ago and his best friend Chuck (played by Adam Sandler) who is a manwhore. The movie is complicated, but it's not hard to understand what the two have to go through to get the benefits of marriage for Larry's two children. Also the movie plays a really good part about the gay community. This movie touches the discrimination that homosexuals have to endure against the government and also the people that protest about it. It's such an eye-opening movie because you can get a visual perspective of how hard it is to have to face hate by people on an average basis. As what Larry & Chuck realized after going through this whole ordeal.

One funny thing about this movie is that there were many characters that you first assumed that were straight. But obviously, they aren't. It's interesting for this movie on how they played the 'first impressions' and also stereotypes. Gay people live like straight people, there's no denying that we're all human. But as our culture moves towards the next decade, are you planning to become a person that hates another person based on how they live for the rest of your life (In return, you will also be hated upon by society in general)? Or are you going to be a person that will be open to all aspects of life and people, in an effortless chance to have peace amongst ourselves and others?

Ok, i'm straying a bit from the movie, but from what i said in the last paragraph, it's a very true statement that you (and those affected) will have to answer soon enough. But you should definitely watch this movie, there are sooooo many celebrities in this movie. Tila Tequila from myspace is in it, Lance Bass, and the usual gang of actors that normally star in Happy Madison movies such as this.. yeah. you must watch this movie!! it was #1 at the box office, and there's a reason for that.

The Simpsons movie review


FINALLY. i am proud to say that i have seen The Simpsons movie. In this review, i'm not going to go on a full-scale review like a movie critic and spoil the plot. I'm basically going to touch on a few things i really liked about this movie.

First of all, the main thing that really stuck out to me was that the movie had ALL of the quirky and silly jokes just like what you see on the tv show. There's also lots of pop-culture jokes too that they make fun of. And the funny thing is that the movie even makes fun of it for you. Seriously. There are sooo many jokes in this movie, that you can't really stop yourself from laughing. I laughed at practically everything hilarious. Every second or so. Hehe. The movie is great, there's comedy, action, drama, and even a few sad moments.

Just because you've seen the movie & television previews for this movie, you can't just assume that you already know the plot. The previews are totally misleading (as they always are).

In the movie, you have all of the characters of Springfield (and did you know that many of the people that voice the characters do more than one character, one person does more than 10 springfield characters) and it's so interesting how they can differentiate the voices so perfectly. Of course you can still tell who they might be, but it's just really cool how they can do more than one character.

Remember that pig that you've been seeing this entire time on the previews? Well, that pig (or spider-pig) has a HUGE role in this movie. I can't tell you the rest, but you have to watch the movie to find out.

Friends from back in the east coast makes it all worth while..

although i had a bunch of calculus 2 crap to deal with.. it was nice to take a break from it all and talk with some friends on AIM.. so here's basically a shout-out :)

steve! you're the best. it was great talking with you again. i really appreciate you telling me how down-to-earth i am, including my personality, and the fact that i'm a real person that you and anyone else can look up to.

.. i'm just glad i'm not superficial and 'the hot shit' like typical people on myspace.. thinkin' they're flawless.. and that shit just because they're living in a big city. hahahahahah. you're just another face in the crowd, as i would say. having good looks can take you places around town, but you need a brain and a personality to actually travel out of the country. get what i'm saying?

and Priscilla!!! omgg. soo good to finally talk to you again! thanks for finding me on facebook.. it's been such a long time since we've talked on myspace. you were definitely one of the very earliest friends i've had on myspace.. i definitely cant wait till we hang out around town the next time i visit Pinehurst and the area :)

okok.. enough for now.

Hazardous Runways

it was a FashionTelevision.com podcast that i just had to upload & share with everyone.. hehe.

When PETA attacks..

I happened to stumble upon the video footage of Gisele Bundchen when she was harassed by PETA members during the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in 2002..

i'm definitely impressed on the way Gisele handled that professionally.

running on empty..

so.. i'm back from a full day of learning stuff that i kindof already know about starbucks. it was called Starbucks Experience.. and boy, it definitely was an experience.

first of all.. let's start of that night.. i went to bed at about 2:00 AM. the last time i saw the alarm clock was 4:30AM. yeah. i just couldn't sleep. i was a bit stressed out because of jeff and me thinking about the workload i have for my final exams. the alarm rang at 8:10AM.. and quickly got ready so i could go to my starbucks store and get a free drink as usual. i had a triple dulce de leche latte this morning. that helped. but the caffeine is wearing off. the starbucks class lasted from 9AM to 3PM.

i was supposed to take this course during the first few days when i got hired at starbucks. which was like last October. i know, late right? lol. anyways, it wasn't offered at that time. but now that Fortuna is opening a new store on August 31st, the chance for me to take this class finally arrived. and i was in a classroom with other newly hired baristas that were going to work at the Fortuna store. it was cool to see the new people. there were other people from McKinleyville that was in the same situation as me.. they've worked a couple months already too.

i didn't expect to talk so much during the time i was there. well, i obviously knew alot of things about the company and working there from the months since i was hired.. so i gave a bunch of tips and info about what to expect about working and starbucks in general.

so blah blah blah. im at home now. just finished getting groceries. jeff's at work. and i'm stuck at home dealing with philosophy and calculus 2 hw. i'm so tired and the caffeine is wearing off. the gas light is on and i'm running near close to empty. i just dont know how im going to last for the next 8 hours until i pick up Jeff from work. ughh.....

anyways.. at least i got paid for attending that Starbucks Experience course.. and now seeing my work schedule.. i'm off for the next three days. wow. you can bet that i'll be using this time to finish up on my assignments. it's final exams the next two weeks after this week. ugh.

still can't log onto myspace. still working out the details with myspace support. but i dont really care anyways. it's probably going to distract me from work. i have so much other things to deal with than myspace..

i have some trackers on this blog just so you know..

unlike myspace, this blog allows me to use javascript in ways i never can on myspace!!

i included some trackers. one you can see, and one you can't.

don't be scared, i just want to see the people that view my page.

i can see your ip address, your location, an aerial view of your house, etc..

just because it says anonymous doesn't mean i can't find out. lol.

and for those i don't want viewing this blog (i'm referring to ones i've had petty arguments and online drama with in the past), you know who you are.. i suggest for you to not to return. it just amuses me how interested you are in my life's activities. unfortunately for you, i have a life. i've moved on, but you can't.. and that makes me better than you. :)
