Here are a few facts:
1.) The Folks at Pixar are incapable of making a bad movie
2.) Andrew Stanton is a genius
3.) Everyone must go see WALL-E
I love Pixar, and I think that every other studio (animation especially) is simply swimmin' in their wake. No animated movie in the past 15 years (except maybe Kung-Fu Panda) has come close to a Pixar movie in terms of character and story. Today, I saw the latest in this long line of masterpieces. WALL-E is GREAT!!!! I had high expectations for this film. Very high. I love Pixar, and Finding Nemo (directed also by Andrew Stanton) is one of the greatest films ever. So I went in expecting a masterpiece. Well, I got what I expected. It's a great film. Fact is, Pixar makes movies with great stories and great characters. WALL-E is a wonderful story about some lovable characters. I won't go into it anymore than that. If you don't like Pixar films, well I can't help you with that problem, but if you love good movies, great characters, Pixar films, Finding Nemo, wonderful endings, and HAVE A SOUL..........then go and see WALL-E. You won't be disappointed.
It may sound crazy, silly, less than noble, but I think that 232 years ago when those brave men wrote and signed that glorious declaration, this is one of the things they had in mind. Families enjoying life together, with freedom and liberty.
I truly believe spending time with friends and family, in harmony, in peace, and having a grand ol' time is a great way to pay homage to those incredible 56 gentlemen and all those others who have done all they can to ensure life, liberty and the pursuit of.......HAPPINESS.
Well, don't we look happy?? The family went to the park this morning. I played Over the Line with some friends while Heather and the kids played on the playground. We then went and had ourselves a cool treat (A Coffee Bean Ultimate Vanilla Ice Blended Coffee drink, Dippin' Dots for the kids.) After, it was home, fill up the pool and have some fun. We enjoyed some apricots from our tree. We now are watching "The Bee Movie" then it is off to Heather's parents for dinner. It has been a great day. So thank you to all those who have, are, and will do what needs to be done to ensure the American Way of Life.
Yep, it's record player!!!
Oh happy day. I won't go into the hows and whys I was able to receive this wonderful new toy, but I am excited. I love records (I sold a bunch of them a few years ago and have regretted it ever sense.) But I still have a few, and so I spent the day working in the garage and listening to the old 45's (LPs actually). A little ZZ Top, a little Night Ranger, Yes, The Cars......oh and my original Star Wars Sountrack from 1977 (crackles and all). Such sweet music. It took me back to my friend James and I (James lived across the street) would spend the days in and around his garage just listening to music. Or my friend Randy (my only other friend who bought records) I would go to his house and we would play video games and listen to THE CARS on his turntable. So come by whenever you want, and we will hang out in the garage and listen to the tunes. TOO MUCH FUN!!!!!
