Some people...

As I am sitting here in the library waiting to take my Chemistry test, there is this really annoying foreign guy sitting at the table next to me. His phone keeps ringing and he answers it. He talks on the phone in some other language for 10 minutes, and is pacing around the library when he's doing this. I am trying to study and get some homework done, and this guy is really pissing me off. He keeps getting these calls and his ringtone is terrible and loud. I'm sure others around him are getting pissed off too. Why don't people think of other people before they act? Show some consideration for others... You're in a library, where cell phones aren't supposed to be used. I should have grabbed his phone out of his hand and threw it out the window, but I could never do that, even if I wanted to. Just wanted to rant about this, the blog gives me somewhere to vent I guess. But... that damn phone better not ring again...

RIP

RIP Wellington Mara, you will be missed. :(

Calvin is crazy...

Saw this today, thought it was pretty funny... (click to enlarge)

Manning to Toomer with 0:05 left in the game to beat the 5-1 Broncos 24-23. I love it, what an amazing finish.

NFC East - Best division in the NFL:

Not the greatest day...

Yeah, today basically sucks. Giants aren't on TV, DirecTV at Goldstein doesn't work, the 2+ week rain is continuing in Cuse, and I have a bunch of homework to do. Giants are losing, hope they get it together... the referees suck too which never helps...

I was thinking, you know what really pisses me off? When people bash others without knowing them. Especially when they do it to a friend of mine. People judge them because of what they think they are like, but do not even know. Get to know a person before you go bashing them in front of a mass audience. Some people are just morons.

Imagine this...

Taken from the New York Post (Weird But True section):

A 10-foot boa constrictor terrorized tenants at a posh apartment complex in Manchester, England — by popping its head out of their toilets.

The reptile, which has since been captured, was living in sewer pipes after being abandoned by an evicted tenant, occasionally coming up for air in bathrooms.

"Snake expert Jimmy Ratcliff said, "It has probably been eating rats in the sewer, where it appears to have been living quite happily."

How weird would that be? Going into your bathroom and seeing a giant snake popping it's head out of the toilet... and to think, some people are scared of flies... Thought this was funny, figured it was worth a post.

Two for the Money Review

Saw Two for the Money today, and it was just what I expected. An intense movie about a guy who gets involved in sports betting, which according to the movie, is a $200 billion business in America. I would say those numbers are pretty accurate too. It's a drama, so there isn't much action, but Pacino and McConaughey were very good, as was Rene Russo. The movie really got me involved in what was going on, and made me see exactly what it was like to have gambling problems and how people's lives can be ruined in an instant. Good movie to see, especially after going to Turning Stone last night, and seeing how much money people blow at those places too. Anyway, I would give Two for the Money an 8.5/10. Very good movie and I recommend it to anyone that really likes sports, or just an intense movie.

A History of Violence

Went to see A History of Violence today, which had Viggo Mortensen and Ed Harris in it. I thought it was pretty good. Not tons of action but the action that it did have was awesome. Really graphic and very intense. There was lots of talking but that was good because we needed to understand exactly what was going on, and then to understand Tom Stall's past. I thought it was good, some might feel it was weird and different from other movies, but that's why I enjoyed it. Very short too, an hour and 36 minutes. I would give this movie an 8/10. Definitely worth a view, in my opinion.
