We're caught sleeping on the loveseat.


She loves her new frisbee.

Super Bowl XLIII

What a great game Super Bowl XLIII turned out to be. We were rooting for the underdogs (Arizona) but it didn't matter to us. It was a close game and that's all we asked for. We did enjoy seeing the Tampa sky line. It made us feel like we were back in Florida. Tampa’s an awesome city to live in. The commercials were quite funny too.



The Steelers made history when they defeated the Arizona Cardinals, 27-23, to win their sixth Super Bowl, the first team in NFL history to accomplish that.

I hate winter.

While going to work this morning I was stuck on German Ridge Hill for about 20 minutes. The snow was flying and you couldn't see 50 feet in front of you. Once I got unstuck, I made my way back to Wayne (slowly) so I could make up my time in the Wayne Public Defender Office. It was crazy!!! It started snowing in Wayne about an hour after I arrived. This is a shot from the front door of the PD's office. Thank goodness the roads weren't as bad here as they were in Huntington.

A Thousand Splendid Suns by: Khaled Hosseini

PLOT: A Thousand Splendid Suns is a breathtaking story set against the volatile events of Afghanistan's last thiry years - from the Soviet invasion to the reign of the Taliban to post-Taliban rebuilding - that puts teh violence, fear, hope and faith of this country in intimate, human terms. It is a talke of two generations of characters brought jarringly together by the tragic sweep of war, where personal lives - the struggle to survive, raise a family, find happiness - are inextricable from the history playing out around them.
Propelled by the same storytelling instint that made The Kite Runner a beloved classic, A Thousand Splendid Suns is at once a remarkable chronicle of three decades of Afghan history and a deeply moving accout of family and freindship. It is a striking, heartwrenching noval of an unforgiving time, an unlikely friendship, and an indestrutible love - a stunning accomplishment.

Pineapple Express

PLOT: A stoner and his dealer are forced to go on the run from the police after the pothead witnesses a cop commit a murder.
OPINION: Funny, Funny, Funny. I LOVED this movie. James Franco played an awesome stoner.

The House Bunny

PLOT: When Shelly, a Playboy bunny, is tossed out of the mansion, she has nowhere to go until she falls in with the sorority girls from Zeta Alpha Zeta. The members of the sorority - who also have got to be the seven most socially clueless women on the planet - are about to lose their house. They need a dose of what only the eternally bubbly Shelley can provide... but they will each learn on their own to stop pretending to be what others want them to be and start being themselves.
OPINION: This was a Laugh Out Loud movie.

JUNO

PLOT: Faced with an unplanned pregnancy, an offbeat young woman makes an unusual decision regarding her unborn child.


OPINION: I'm not sure why I am just now watching this movie. It was great. I love, love, love this movie. It ranks on the top of my movie list. Juno has such a strange but funny sense of humor. The movie has so many great parts that I'm not sure where to begin.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

CHRISTMAS 2008

Hell Ride

PLOT: The story deals with the characters Pistolero, the Gent and Comanche and the deadly, unfinished business among them.

OPINION: The movie was over the top but it was great. Tons of Bikes, Beer and Booty. It did have a little too much tits and ass but that was the booty part of the movie. It's worth renting and watching though.

Jack Johnson

" FLAKE "
I know she said it's alright
But you can make it up next time
I know she knows it's not right
There ain't no use in lying
Maybe she thinks I know something
Maybe maybe she thinks its fine
Maybe she knows something I don't
I'm so, I'm so tired, I'm so tired of trying

It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don't tell me you might just let it go
And often times we're lazy
It seems to stand in my way
Cause no one no not no one
Likes to be let down

I know she loves the sunrise
No longer sees it with her sleeping eyes
And I know that when she said she's gonna try
Well it might not work because of other ties and
I know she usually has some other ties
And I wouldn't want to break 'em, nah, I wouldn't want to break 'em
Maybe she'll help me to untie this but
Until then well, I'm gonna have to lie too

It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don't tell me you might just let it go
And often times we're lazy
It seems to stand in my way
Cause no one no not no one
Likes to be let down
It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don't tell me you might just let it go

The harder that you try baby, the further you'll fall
Even with all the money in the whole wide world
Please please please don't pass me
Please please please don't pass me
Please please please don't pass me by

Everything you know about me now baby you gonna have to change
You gonna have to call it by a brand new name
Please please please don't drag me
Please please please don't drag me
Please please please don't drag me down

Just like a tree down by the water baby I shall not move
Even after all the silly things you do
Please please please don't drag me
Please please please don't drag me
Please please please don't drag me down

" Neon "
When sky blue gets dark enough
To see the colors of the city lights
A trail of ruby red and diamond white
Hits her like a sunrise

She comes and goes and comes and goes
Like no one can

Tonight she's out to lose herself
And find a high on Peachtree Street
From mixed drinks to techno beats it's always
Heavy into everything

She comes and goes and comes and goes
Like no one can
She comes and goes and no one knows
She's slipping through my hands

She's always buzzing just like
Neon, neon
Neon, neon
Who knows how long, how long, how long
She can go before she burns away

I can't be her angel now
You know it's not my place to hold her down
And it's hard for me to take a stand
When I would take her anyway I can

She comes and goes and comes and goes
Like no one can
She comes and goes and no one knows
She's slipping through my hands

She's always buzzing just like
Neon, neon
Neon, neon
Who knows how long, how long, how long
