So, since we are loved and forgiven by Jesus because of His grace, we are allowed to be as bad as we want to be and so is everyone else? We are never allowed to tell anyone that something is bad because we are bad? I miss the old days when the Bible said it so we would try to do it and with the help of the Holy Spirit we could accomplish it, and sometimes we did, more and more often accually, and we were allowed to say, "God says" or "The Bible says" with confidence in the authority behind that statement. I'm really having a problem with, it's clearly wrong but i'm not allowed to say that it is wrong because

Vacation is over

It is Saturday, vacation is over, I just spent an hour or so checking email and hitting some blogs. I havn't touched the computer all week, or my Ipod. Catching up on Podcasts is gonna take forever. I spent the week as summer camp with my son and a bunch of bad bad 8 year olds. Now is when I need the vacation. It was fun. Oh, I almost forgot, last weekend before the summer camp thing, we went camping with the cub scouts at Fort Wilderness at Disney World. Well it happened to be the same day as our first tropical storm so that was fun. We just stayed on the air matress in the middle of the tent and most of the water ran to the corners. It got to be only 2 inches deep or so.

The big surprise was when we went to the park. Does anyone know what weekend this was as the Magic Kingdom, I bet you do. It was quite fun, some of those red t shirts were quite entertaining. I couldn't help but think about Mini Me missing out on the parade I could have gotten a few choice shots with the folks in red. The boys didn't seem to notice anything, but we adults sure had fun with it. Some of my favorites...

"I'm not gay but my boyfriend is"

"I 'heart' booty"

this one had a little pirate on it.

There were two little old ladies wearing white T's with red marker writen on them that said,

"Red Shirt"

So, cute.

We rode space mountain, Pirates of the Carabean and then went over to MGM, It was also StarWars weekend, they had very few red shirts there. We got to see Chewy, Princess Leia, Luke, he had a bad wig, an Ewok; not Wiket, Anakin, He looked like the real one, a few of the alien type Jedi's, some clone's, and even the guy who was inside the original R2D2. We missed all the Sithe, since they were in a separate area of the park and I didn't know it till they all went away for the evening.

I have spent the rest of my time trying to watch the FireFly series, I got through the first two DVD's. A few nights I was just too tired. I also got to see Corpse Bride last night and Borne Identity monday, that is one of those that as a "christian" I wouldn't allow myself to watch when it came out but i'm over that now, so i'm catching up.

Got a lot of yard work to do, a trip or 2 to the dump, and then back to work monday, then I can finally rest.

Godzilla 2000

Guesse what i'm watching today? Godzilla 2000. I'm on vacation next week so I got a bunch of stuff to watch. It ought to be fun, i've been listening to Watch the Directors, so my need to see list keeps growing, I don't know if i'll be able to catch up. I also got the book by Tim Lahaye "the rapture" it is the 3rd prequel book to the original Left Behind series. I bring that up because I have heard comments on SBE and on etcetera about those books and the people who read them and they wern't possitive comments. I was wondering what it is that is wrong with them? I have read all of the Left Behind books and now these, I have a problem stopping when there are other books left to read, the same reason I watched Matrix 3 even though it sucked so so so bad. These books havn't sucked though, I have enjoyed them, though it does seem to be an excessive # of books to tell the story. Oh, I have seen the 3 movies too. I admit that when I started I was one of those who would only read christian books, watch christian movies and listen to christian music, and no video games at all. I'm not like that anymore but I still like some of them. The difference is now I also like to read Koontz, and watch Tarantino and all that "bad, bad" stuff. Does music get any better than Nine Inch Nails, well besides Michael Card?? I have an xbox now too, I love Halo...

I found this sight about 2001, it is pretty entertaining and give an explanation of the movie. Apparently there is no official explanation, they just want us to each figure out what it means to us. http://www.kubrick2001.com/ I still don't know what a starchild is though...

2001

I just re-watched 2001 today, I saw it back when I was in high school, it came up in a few podcasts about great scifi movies and stuff, so I thought I would re watch it. I still don't understand any of it. The part in the middle about the trip to Jupiter and HAL going bonkers and trying to kill everyone and Dave shutting him down to survive, that part made since. The big black box makes no since, all that suff at the end is just nuts. What am I missing? I understand that it was made in 68 and the fx and all would have been stunning back then but other than that where is the greatness? Unless that is the greatness of it.

Lego Creation

My son wanted to put this on the internet, I said, sure! Cool huh?

I don't know much

I'm thinking I must not know much about movies. No one seems to like Spiderman 3 yet I did, I admit that I didn't like all the time spent on PP and MaryJane and I totally didn't like the crybaby stuff, but I just shook my head and watched the rest of the movie. I liked having lots of villains it gave more to watch. Adding to this thought I watched Shawshank Redemption this weekend because I have always heard that it was good and I had never seen more than a few minutes of it. It was good, I totally enjoyed the movie and thought all of the actors did a great job and I totally liked the story. On the bonus DVD I found out that it was a Steven King Novella that was cool too, they mentioned that the movie has been voted as the best or near the best movie ever on the imdb along with The Godfather and Citizen Kane and a few others like that. I looked it up, it is right there at #2 after The Godfather. Now it has been a while since I have seen the Godfather but from what I remember it was a good movie but I don't' think it would make my top20 list. Star wars was on the list but way down closer to 10, what's with that? Signs was not anywhere on the list, The Princess Bride was down in the 100s. So what I draw from this is that apparently I don't know much about movies. THX1138 is another one that I saw in the last week, that movie was outstanding, I loved the vision that George Lucas had and he was trying to portray his current day, he thought it was bad then? Some people tell me it is just because my tastes are different, but why? Shouldn't I be able to tell a good movie from a bad one? I think Shawn of the dead sucked, but 28 days later was excellent. I am just a little weirded out to find that I am so out of the norm on something that I have such an interest in as movies. I don't have film or art training but I thought my opinions would at least line up a little with the rest of the world. With all of that said, I saw a Hallmark Entertainment version of Frankenstein, with William Hurt and Donald Southerland, yesterday, I loved it, totally different than any other depiction of Frankenstein that I have ever seen, the monster was really Victor and the creature wasn't a big dumb brute he was well read and quoted great works and only wanted to not be alone, buy the end I was glad to see Victor die and even then the creature cared for his body and carried it away with the love and respect of a son to a father even though the father never showed it to him. I want to read to book now because if it is like this version I believe I would thoroughly enjoy it.
