REVIEW

If you watched the movie, you probably noticed my "summary" is pretty vague. 

BUT! The movie was good. I don't understand why so many critics hate this movie so much. Yes, this movie is pretty predictable, but it provides a very romantic, yet occasionally comedic, features. I came out of the the theater happy. 

SHOULD YOU WATCH THE MOVIE?
I APROVE AND NOT VETO THIS MOVIE!
It's better for people who like chick flicks I guess. I really enjoyed the movie though.


By the way! I'm sorry this seems rushed. I've been really busy lately. I'll write something less rushed next time! Thanks for reading! I didn't even know some people actually read my blog. :)

Don't Freak over The Freak

Why is everyone freaking over the freak? The beginning of the season for the Giants are not as well as expected. The season's still young. Even though the giants are 4-6, many other "contenders" are also getting to a slow start. Many of Giants nation wonder why Timmy Lincecum is going 13.2 innings with a 1.90 WHIP, 10.54 ERA with 16 earned runs in his first 3 games.

Why worry? He's the Freak.

I know, a 27.00 ERA in the first inning doesn't sound so hot, but Timmy's got 30 some starts left in this season. Beginning the year, Tim said that he was to remove his slider from his pitching arsenal, but he's thrown it about 8-10 times in his last outing (April 16th against the Phils).

Bottom line: Stop worrying about Lincecum because he has 30 starts to get back to his Cy Young form and rebound.

Bottom line: Don't Freak over the Freak.

Today In History: A Crash

April 14th, 1912. 11:50pm. Moment of impact. Moment.

On April 10th, the White Star Liner the Titanic set out from Southampton, England on its maiden voyage to New York City, USA. At the time, she was the biggest ship to sail. Named "Unsinkable," everyone knows the story; it his a humungo chunk of ice (aka an iceberg :) ) and sank.

One hundred years later, the wreck is still there. Wouldn't the salty water and pressures of being that deep in the ocean decompose of the ship's material? Apparently not, but apparently tourist do?

Robert Ballard, one of the oceanographers that discovered the wreck, suggest that "tourist" visiting the site leave trash and diminish the paint of it. Ballard suggests that they can actually "paint" the Titanic. Why paint the ship? It's history. You don't just go out there and add something unnatural to history.

Robert Ballard, don't try to make another mark in history by paining it.

Baseball Season!

A new pack of garlic and potatoes ordered. Newly sewn balls and freshly finished bats in the locker rooms. Baseball has arrived for 2012. 

Today the San Francisco Giants face off with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Giants lost 4-5, but showed much more offensive promise than the miser offense last year in 2011. 

This is just a short post. Just postin' 'bout my super duper happiness for baseball season. I'm sure during Spring Break I'll mass blog. *WARNING ONE DIRECTION IS IN THE FUTURE OF THIS BLOG!*

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Up and Coming Post

I've been really busy lately and not having anything "critical" or "informational," but I'll come up with something soon, especially because spring break is coming up. Today I came online and I realized people actually DO read what I post. I also found out I left something drafted for the last, psht 3 weeks? I'll try to post that but I'll be slightly out of date.

Oh yeah and doesn't that pic look awesome? I felt like this post was bland, so why not brighten it up with that? Or with this:

I wanna get myself one of those ;)

Have a good day!

May the odds always be in YOUR favor. Hog it all, rebel against the Capitol, you can do it, because you can be the _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _. (People who reads the series would understand that :) )
