WHY SO MUCH RAGE

Why so lazy.. Why no posts.. Why so heavy.. I think I have stated this in the past but I do not know how to deal with things when they are going well.. But I will give this a shot and try to create a somewhat interesting post.. (No I won't I don't want to change the format of this blog)  Does anyone have the rage that I have within me even when I am doing something that I enjoy.. Well here is a typical event for me.. I am outside on a beautiful fall day cutting firewood and hauling the split wood out of the woods behind my house.. I don't know why but this is just completely relaxing for me.. My kids are playing football in the front yard my wife is complaining about me not helping with hanging the lights on the trees and really all is right with the world. So I am driving my john Deere through the woods and I am being careful not drive over any small stumps and puncture the tires so I am looking back so I don't notice the horse whip tree in front of me which when I push through let's go from the front of the tractor and whips me across my face and it stings pretty bad but I am in just so happy that I shrug it off but it gets the blood percolating a little.

So on my way back you would think I would remember that the stinging in my face was caused by the tree in my path but being the genius that I am I look at the nice fire that my son has started and how proud I am that I have created another pyromaniac I am looking at him or the fire I am not sure but I am struck by the same tree in exactly the same spot..  BOOOM the rage comes out of me.. I can seriously see spots when I get this mad I yell out you dirty HUUUEERR (more on that later) and I leap off my seat and I grab the tree and I start yanking and pulling and kicking and in general flailing around like a crazed idiot trying to quench my anger by tearing this tree out by its roots.. This is gets a little gross here but as usual I don't care but please skip if you are eating something 1.25 this will be hard for you.. I feel like I am herniating my self as I give it everything I have but I am starting to imagine the hemi's I am going to have that evening and I lunge for my chainsaw (Which is not spitting Gas Sorry 1.25) and I cut this SOB out of the ground and carry it over to the fire.. As I stand there panting like a bald gorilla watching his first kill I see my Son has witnessed this whole event and has decided that I am dumber than he had originally thought.. So to break the uncomfortable silence he says "dad what is a HUUUEERR"  I am not sure what to say but I really can't tell him what it really is or means so I just say oh it is something guys say when they are angry and just so it doesn't get any more uncomfortable I tell him he should go play.. As he is running away he decides to kick a similar looking tree in the woods  I would tell him it was a dumb move but I really don't have much credibility at this point..

Stranger Than Fiction
What an interesting film.. This is not a Will Farrell movie at all which you have to get used to at first.. The film was just done right.. It is a tough storyline to pulloff but it was really well done. This movie is not going to wow anyone with great dialogue or having you laughing out loud but it was just interesting.  I am sure this film will mean different things to different people but for me it was about going how your life is story and you can make it anything you want it to be.. Don't be caught in the same endless circle of doing the same things everyday It is your life make it fun.. Ok that was cheesy but I have been thinking about the movie for a couple days after I saw it so that for me scores high on the baldies scale..  I am going to give it 3.25 baldies out of 4..



WII
What is gaming supposed to be about.. (An endless waste of time) No I mean it is supposed to be about relaxing and having fun… Well the WII has not disappointed whatsoever.. The game play is as advertised you can play gaming in less than a minute.. You really only use 1 button for most of the sports games it is just so natural to play.. I had a neighbor lady and her daughter who had never played a video game console playing tennis against each other in less than 30 seconds..  My wife has played with my kids and you can't get the kids to stop laughing as they play it.. Are the graphics unreal NO is the sound unreal NO but it is not what this game is about it is about my 5 year old playing tennis against his dad and not having to remember to hit X yellow button Y left trigger right joystick down for a jump serve.. You swing the controller like a tennis racquet and you are playing tennis..   They are just scratching the surface of what this type of game play can do and I am excited to see what will be next..  I will never compare this to XBOX 360 or PS3 which I am sure are incredible systems for gamers but I am betting that none of these games will bring new people into the gaming market.. Or better yet as IJ has learned allowed a grandfather 3 hours of gameplay with his grandchildren..

Weight
Not bad 3 lbs gained over the holiday but I am continuing the 10,000 steps to death march everyday..  


Vikings
They beat Denny Green.. Wow that was a tough team.. I am looking forward to the Bears game I think they have a shot.. Well any team has a shot at beating the bears if Rex is taking snaps..
