I finally got a job doing counseling!!!! I’m so excited!!!!! I’m completely pumped!!!!! Exclamation points all around!!!!!! As many as you want!!!!!!! They’re on the house!!!!!!
But seriously folks, I am officially working part time at the Center for Health Resources. I’ll be picking up individual clients as they come & occasionally teaching mandatory classes for drug offenders at the courthouse. I know what you’re thinking, & you’re right. It is the most awesome job on the planet. Unfortunately, it is only part time for now. So, I still have to keep looking for full time employment. However, after 2 months of searching, this is the only firm that is willing to give this rookie a shot. The experience alone is invaluable to my future career, so I am just loving life right now.
I believe congratulations are in order.

Last night Brooklynne & I saw the new Batman movie. I figured that everyone is probably chomping at the bit to know what I thought about it. Going into it, I was afraid that this movie was getting amazing reviews because of Heath Ledger’s untimely death. Coming out of it, I felt the same.
The movie as a whole is a pretty good summer blockbuster, & definitely a must-see, but I didn’t think it was great & certainly not “amazing” or “an instant classic” as most every critic I’ve read is saying. Heath Ledger truly was a very gifted actor & he admittedly does an amazing job as the Joker. Really spectacular work, which is, in a roundabout way, what makes the movie just pretty good. About 60% of the movie is made up of scenes without the Joker, & they are just okay scenes. So when you combine 60% “okay” scenes with 40% “sensational” scenes, you end up with a “pretty good” movie. Add to that mix a tragic death of the actor who puts on a jaw-dropping performance, & you have a recipe for inflated opinions of a decent film.
In conclusion, you should absolutely see “The Dark Knight” if only to witness Ledger’s show stopping final performance. Just go in with a realistic expectation to see a pretty good summer blockbuster, & not expecting to have a new favorite movie of all time. This will make for maximum enjoyment of the movie, in my opinion. I give it 4 out of 5 stars in my arbitrary rating system.
22 years ago on this day, my amazing & beautiful wife was born. She loves getting birthday wishes, so please flood her blog, facebook, & myspace with love & blessings today. On another note, here is a hilarious clip from the Colbert Report in which President Bush is named “Alpha Dog of the Week.” The first 20 seconds or so are a goofy joke about Rush lyrics, but after that it gets truly hilarious. Enjoy!via videosift.com
Saturday will be the 22 year mark for my wonderful wife Brooklynne. Today we had an early celebration by upgrading her from Motorola Razr to iPhone 3G, & it went over pretty well. I thought it would be the perfect gift to help pass the time on her real birthday when we will, no doubt, spend a couple hours waiting in line to see The Dark Knight on opening weekend. Anyway, if you get a chance in the next few days, go by Brooklynne’s blog & show her a little B-Day love. Also, if you see it, let me know what you thought about The Dark Knight (without giving anything away, of course). I’ll be posting my thoughts, without spoilers, soon as well. Peace!

Anyone who knows me knows that I just love one liners. Original or stolen material, I don’t care. If it’s funny & quick, I love it. Here are a few of my favorites;
There are 2 things that all men must know about women… and no one knows what they are.
What do you call a fish with no eyes? A fsh
Where do you find a one legged dog? Exactly where you left it.
And finally…What does a fish say when it runs into a wall? Dam.
Now its your turn.
Give me your best one liners.
