District 9

After hearing all of the rave reviews about this movie I knew I had to see this movie for myself. I also found out that this movie originally was supposed to be the Halo movie but Peter Jackson abandoned that. Anyways, this movie was needless to say AWESOME. A very heart pounding and heart felt movie from beginning to end. The cinematography made a bit dizzy at some parts but made it seem so much more real. On top of that I found out they worked on a $30 million budget which is almost unheard of for sci fi movies. The usual price tag for these bad boys are over $100 million. The actor who was the main protagonist did an amazing job and I heard its his first big role as well. Like all movies, there were some plot holes but it didn't stop this movie from being as epic as everyone said it is. This movie definitely bring a different kind of message with humans being the main antagonists against aliens. For so long, we've always been afraid of aliens and yet this movie turns it around. It goes to show how humans treat things/people we don't know or understand. I recommend this movie 100%. Any fool saying this movie sucks is either too critical or has crap for brains.

people who do not knwo anything about cars

recently i was on facebook and one of my old schoolmates had recently bought himself a new car. he was a pretty smart guy so i figured he wouldn't make a bad decision when buying a good car. how wrong i was. he had decided to buy a hyundai sedona which regardless of what is on paper or surverys or research, a korean car is death. nothing against the koreans but its just their cars are horrible. the best part about this were his moron friends that were commenting how they were 'jealous' and how its 'a nice car'. sure you don't want to be mean but jealous? really? its like wanting new and good cookware and getting the target brand. sure in the beginning it looks good but give it 5 years and its going to be OVER. i was quite tempted to be like 'WTF were you thinking when you bought this car? did you not consult ANYONE who knows about cars?' to me a car is a BIG investment since it can only depreciate. cars are meant to wear down and will never last so why the hell would you buy a car that is absolutely rubbish? if you want a NEW car and can't afford a better one then keep saving OR get a used car that is better. i seriously do not understand people who just want a new car and get something that is horrible.

1 year and 2 days

i cannot believe i have been home for 367 days or 1 year and 2 days. i remember when i first moved home i was quite depressed and hated being back here. the last thing i wanted was to move back in with my parents. sure there are a lot of benefits and what not but there are still so many things that comes with being on your own. but i wont get into that. since i've been home God has taught me a lot of things about myself and what He wants in my life. i realized that i was destined to move home and that was always his plan anyways. i spent 3 months looking for a job in socal and NOTHING. i come home for 2 weeks and i start working. call me crazy but i'm pretty sure that is a sign. even then i was still unsatisfied and wanted something else. once again i was humbled and my eyes opened to what is now something i LOVE doing. i've realized that being happy where i am is probably the most important thing in life as to just making money. if i wanted to make more i would be working for my older brother, but i would be absolutely miserable. and i was for the short amount of time i was there. misery filled my life day in and out.

now after a year i stand here at another junction in life. at work there is a possibility for me to move up in my department, but being the person with the least amount of experience i have a very slim chance of getting it. though my manager tells me that it will all be based on my interview i cannot help but think that wont be all that they are going to decide on. i know i am still young and have a lot ahead of me. in fact i think i am the youngest of all the applicants so even if i do not get it i still have time to look elsewhere and wait for my turn. it has been nerve racking to think about but i have to just leave it to God to show me the way.
