From Selma to Montgomery, AL, USA

Diary 13th October 2015

Well today was quite a day. haha

I did my usual errands I do on a Tuesday. hahaahah. hehehe.

My first port of call was to get my dosh before it closed. I was there struggling with my bike and the laundry AND my trousers(which kept falling due to my rapid weight loss - hahaah). I've noticed recently that I can't do anything with my right hand anymore. With a JO(jerkoff), nope won't do the work. Basically I have to use the left for everything, for JO's for walking my bike even carry bags etc.,

So moving on I then dropped the Laundry into Clean Freaks, which was quite unusual. By that I mean that the price is lower, and I got a text off them stating that there are "two items" and then the woman told me that it would be available on Friday, which is interesting. hahaah.

I then headed onto the bank did my business. Unusually I didn't have enough for to go and do my normal weekly bill payments. So I looked up what "robbed" my money. hahaah. It was actually Electric Ireland and Sky.

So then I moved onto my grocery weekly of SmallChanges. hahaah. I asked Peadar, why the taste of one of the TOmato Sauce was so "boring" or Bland. I knew about NO Added sugar or salt, but seriously? So he told me that its JUST tomatoes. Well the laugh I got. I paid about €2 or €3 for jst "friggin tomatoes" as I said on the way home. hahaha. It was priceless.

So while transferring files for my sis' visit, I took a shower. Then headed to my sis. On the way, I was looking for a Grater where I can grate cheese. hahaah. However the manners of a pig in Centra didn't have any. hahaha. So I arrived and we looked at TV. I brought up how come Maureen remembers that MEMORABLE day of when I had Mom, Dad and Maureen and of course my sis for a Cuppa and a Apple PIe or something. We sat around my table. Then my depression hit. And hence my place is NOT suitable for visitors anymore. Then the other day I was onto Maureen by means of a phonecall, and she told me of the dream. I can't for the life understand why she's so obsessed with that particular day. ahhaah. Then my sis asked when would I be going up to the folks. And I said I can't go up freely to Mom n Dad's as I'm no longer welcome to visit, but to FOOD, thats' all I get.

I was interested in finding out what party the current Dublin Lord's Mayor(ess) is ie Críona Ní Dhálaigh, I kinda knew she was a member of Sinn Féinn, however One thing I never expected thou that Sinn Féin's FOUNDER is Arthur Griffith. Where I know that name is that the avenue I was reared on ie the street is known as Griffith Ave., I was told that the avenue is named after Arthur Griffith. Now one asks, WHY??? like did he live there, or fight etc., etc.,

Diary 13th October 2015 – Budget 2016 Special

The Man from UNCLE

Well what an interesting film, this turned out to be. I was completely lost with the plot. Although the Music was unreal, I totally enjoyed the music. Henry's character was fab. Totally enjoyed his soothing voice and his strong American accent. Bottomline, guys YOU need to have seen the TV Series that was released in the '60s/'70s. I was completely lost as I said, like one minute Solo and Kuryakin are fighting EACH other, next Gaby is actually betrays Solo and Kuraykin. Like whats going on. And now we learn at the end that Gaby, Solo and Kurayakin have a "code name" for the thrio, as stated by Waverly(Grant). They are now known as UNCLE(United Network Command for Law and Enforcement). So overall great movie, Music WOW, so ENJOYABLE. I was there like the conductor.

The plot being from what I can get, is that Solo(Cavill) is teamed up with Kuryakin(Hamemr). Initially Solo teams up with Gaby(Vikander). They are pursued by Kuryakin. They each learn that Kuraykin is actually now Solo's partner. So with the niceys niceys done, Gaby is to play Fiancé with KUryakin.

National Treasure

One word, Historical education. Outstanding on that part. A bit too long for a movie. But overall excellent. Great quotes as follows: "You don't need anyone crazy, you're one short step of crazy, what you get", my Riley(Bartha) replies with "obsessed" and Ben(Cage) replies with "PASSIONATE"

Riley replies with "That's where we lost FBI", when Abigail(Kruger) thinks that Ben and Riley are looking at a "Treasure map"
When Ben says "It's invisible" to convince Abigail that the map is real, my baby Riley says That's where we lost Department of Homeland Security"

The film entails Ben(Cage) along with Riley(Bartha)  and Abigail who is looking for a Treasure which has been revealed that the treasure found by finding The Declaration of Independence. Initially Ben's Father was leading the search.  Ian(Bean) is trying to steal it. It contains a map, an invisible map which leads to a treasure hunt so to speak. So they break into the Museum to steal the Declaration of Independence. In the meantime with no help with the FBI, Ben, Riley and Abigail, get caught in the lurch with Ian and his gang. However Ben turns FBI to his side, so when Ian they are caught breaking into a place, the FBI  intercepts and arrests them.

Benjamin Franklin according to film invented the Day Light Savings. Also it indicated the end of World War 2. Something like that.

National Treasure: Book of Secrets

The film opens up with 5 Days after Civil War ends, or suppose to have. Something goes down and the blame is put on Ben's (Cage) father or grandfather. So we assume our places whereby to free the father, they have to find the book and to find that we have to get the clues. Ben has to "Kidnap the President of the United States(Greenwood)". I found this sequel much better ACTION, however, the title of the sequel could be revisited as in the first one, they had a set goal of looking for a map, they found it, then the clues. Whereas this one they were looking for a Book of Secrets, BUT the clues were ELSEWHERE, meaning where was the need for the book? Music was wonderful a pleasure to listen to in the background. The President of the United States gives the crew a Presidential Pardon for Ben's grandfather . They were "accredited for this discovery".

Woman In Gold

Very heartwarming. Great comical. Dame Helen Mirren's character Maria Altmann very impressive and outstanding performance. Maria only wants whats rightfully hers. The plot is very simple. She wants her Aunts Adele(Traue) painting by Klimt, back in her house. As she said at the very end, she had to "cross the Atlantic", "so my Aunt shall do the same". Austria won't let go of it that easily. Herbertus Czernin(Bruhl) helped them along. He was "proud to be an Austrian". I love these type of movies, based on a true story. Music by far was fantastic. When I was who it was ie Hans Zimmer, I was ecstatic. The film goes back and forward between Past life and Present Life. When Maria had to flee her country her father(Corduner) reminds "We shall speak in the language of your new home". That was really touching especially when ALL three hugged.

Diary 6th April - Easter Monday

Met Todd for the Easter 1915 Anniversary, to see how people lived in those days. Twas fantastic. All done well. However the Three network was down. I was panicking as I was to meet for half 1 then meeting an hour later. However the phone wouldn't work at all. I restarted the phone several times. So I just left the internet. However then I couldn't ring as the whole Network was down. We met up eventually. I was furious, but at the same time, relieved when I saw Todd standing there. heeheh. I was about to go to Three on Henry St., then to meet Todd. I saw Todd as I was on the way to Three. hahaah. He kept insisting it was because the cell towers couldn't handle it. I said yet with New York's €10m can.... Eitherway we met up. So we throttled up and down and have a look at amazing items that were shown. Headed to where Padraic Pearse surrendered to General Lowe on Moorse St., Twas very interesting. We then headed to Flanagans(Review here). We then headed to Then I told Todd off his birthday present of Mamma Mia which was played at the event. Todd made a great point. In that he laughed at Abba weren't even around til 60 yrs later. hahaah. We belted our "Dublin in the Rare Auld Times". Twas fantastic. I for sure, did. Twas great. So we then dispersed headed our own way. But first I went to the Outhouse whereby I wasn't sure if it were opened. As it happens it wasn't.

Selma

Great heartwarming film. What the Black ppl went through. The film tells the life and times of Dr. Martin Luther King. He was wanting MAINLY voting rights for the Black People of the Americas. As they didn't get the voting rights, they went on numerous protests as expected. This year 2015, back in March(if I can remember), saw 50 years ago, when Dr. Martin Luther King, CROSSED
Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama. They were wanting to cross the bridge to excercise their consitutional right to vote in Montgomery, Alabama.

As Above, So Below

Well, I must say I was most disappointed with the film. It was on my to see list. Meaning I was actually looking forward to it. Despite it being a horror genre, I had high hopes for it. However, we were treated to a history lesson(Pharaoh's in Egypt etc., ), which I didn't mind it. I don't mind learning history VISUALLY. However it was all garbish or as me ma would say Gibberish. Didn't understand a word of it. At the same time, it was also a horror film, in that we were treated to fare few scary scenes. My heart was pounding. When I was with me ex, I went through a period of loving horror and devil crap etc., However, I since have fallen out of love for it. With this particular horror, I actually expected the plot to be of similar to that say an alien comes to destroy the planet, everyone gets scared and they have to kill the alien to save humanity. Something along those lines. E.g World War Z. r Zombieland etc., etc., Bottomline is, the plot of As Above, So Below was as confusing as the next guy. From what I could gather, a reporter Scarlett(Weeks) and Benji(Hodge) are looking for some stone would ya believe it a Philosophers Stone(Which kinda makes you think, if the stone is either a real thing or a thing to do with Harry Potter series). Scarlett seeks the help from George(Papillon) which initially she refuses but eventually gets seeked in. He was to do some translation. Scarlett, George and Benji all encounter further guys. Scarlett was told to look for a Papillon(Civil) to help get into the catacombs so to get this special stone. Now when they get down, "All Yee who Enter, Are doomed". They get into a whole hep a baloni. However one thing that was most infuriating was that everytime something bad was happening to the character, the audience would be laughing or whatever. Now normally in a film, if there is a character in a heap of baloni etc., etc., or being shot or having his throat sliced, it would actually be quite the OPPOSITE. The audience would be in total awww and OMG kinda thing. IMDB Forums reminded, me being claustrophobic. I felt like that throughout.

Diary 27th August 2014

Well what a night it has been. I got up quite late. About 7pm. I had asked Mom that she let me know if the Mulligans were to come down to visit. Well indeed that she did. At quarter to 5, I got a voicemail(obv when I got up), saying that they are coming down, and to wonder if I'd be able to go up. So I said, I just might do that. Now after several days to a week maybe more, showered and prepped myself.I last saw the Mulligans on the night of 31st October 2010, when I had a mental breakdown. It was the night of the breakup of my ex. Thats the last time, I saw them. So October coming, it will have been 4 years. Now quite alot has happened on both parties. On my side, as you all have been reading. But clearly quite alot has happened on Mulligans side. Aging was a main one. I hardly recognised any of them. Some I did recognise. While I was getting ready. I had a panic attack. Suddlenyl all these thoughts began flushing like mind in my head. The minute I saw em all, my heart was pumping like mad. They all shook hands. Starting from JP(Kathleen's Son), Kathleen, Eileen(Kathleen's Mom), and Brendan(Eileen's hubbie). Twas wonderful to see em all. At some stage, I was thinking that I wasn't wanted, whenever I'd say something, I would be completely ignored. Then again, it has been 4  years. So I will have to regain the relationship that I once had JUST before I came out. Then out of the blue, Kathleen was talking about tolerance in UK and the Scotland that's wanting to divide and break away. She said stuff and one word came out well outloud. "Acceptance". Now I was quite taken aback. I didn't pay heed to it, didn't even react. I just continued on chatting. We all had drinks, then we continued onto the dining area and had a bit of grub. Then Martin(Kathleen's hubbie) asked that I help him with setting up Dad's TV to connect to his lappy for to show pics and photos of their time here in Ireland. They's living in England atm.

So bottomline, It was a mixture visit. Mom and Dad appreciated my help when clearing the dishes, so thats a plus. BUT when it came to the relatives, I will have to regain their relationship. I felt I was the black sheep ie a stranger. Of course they know me, but the vibes I was getting.

On the way up, thou I would like to let yee all know a little something. On the way up to the folks' place, I was chatting on Bender a bit of distraction. There was a guy who said he'd be interested for fun, and that he'd have SAFE sex. Of which I agree. Then as with my obligation, I told him of my hepatitis B. He then replied "No thanks man". I then replied with: "Grandie. Best wishes. Oh and btw get an education. It ain't FUCKING C jackass". Luckily my future bf, hopefully(all things going to plan.....) does NOT discriminate. The Irish need to get an education. I would have expected a 45 year old dude, to know of such. But apparently he didn't.

When I got up, after getting ready for the above event, just before I went out the door, I went to check on the freezer. I had over night, had 4 basins full of BOILING hot water and put them in the freezer overnight. So when I went to check on em they were as hard as ice, no actually they had turned into Ice. I had to laugh at it. hahha. But quite frustrating at the same time. I'm trying to cleanup the kitchen etc., but when this delays, it bothers me. So when I told the visitors above, they well Dad suggested that I Unplug the fridge freezer. I was afraid of doing so, as it would affect my 10 cartons of milk. But they suggested it only would be for about an hour or so if even that. So what I'm gonna do is borrow my Dad's roof melt burner(A machine that burns the Roof material to the ACTUAL roof).

Diary 27th July 2014

PS THIS POST CONTAINS NSFW MATIEREAIL

Well after getting up slightly tired(not too much) considering I was up til 6am ie 6HRS of enjoying my belated birthday celebrations. hahaah.

I only realsied today, why my ass was soar and my Jnr too. Its because I never used the Lube, that was provided FREE of charge. Why I never thought of it. And I wouldn't mind, I was carrying BOTH the condom and the lube around me everywhere.

I then got up for to see my sis. I was just gonna head off without showering, however with the smell of the Boilerhouse(which is kinda weird btw), I decided to shower for a quickie. Then I headed on off to see my sis.

When I arrived, I read out my Blog entry of 26th July. 2014.

She was eating a bag of crisps of Bacon Flavored. And I saw a label Suitable for Vegetarians. That got me thinking. If you're thinking of  becoming a Veggie let alone being a vegetarian for years or whatever, why then make a product or eat it, when you are trying to ABSTAIN from Meat. Don't make sense in my books.

Rant over, thou had a great time. She's a bit down atm. She was sleepy when I arrived. We chatted for a bit. Then we looked at Two and A Half Men. Great to see it. Great memories back. She reminded me and of recent times a few times actually, that there was a time we did a marathon of Two and A Half Men back at home, where we grew up. Great times were had. No question of it.

She seperatly told me the "ghost" like image I saw when I was at a film last week, that, that signifies good news", in that the person is trying to tell you, that he/she who has past on, is actually out of pain etc., I told her that whether its REg or my mother or whoever or now the recently disceased SÓD, that I'll NEVER EVER forget my mom Marianna.

Diary 23rd July 2014

After watching the news bulletins of the two nights, I continued watching the Current Affairs aspects of the TV showing. While watching TV, Maureen rang me. She started to sing Happy Birthday. Of which I detest to the core. Like I hate family singing to me. So in a fit, I just hung up completely.


Then I saw Mom coming down the steps. She wanted me to go up to em yesterday, even though I said no. I prob wouldn't be up. But as it happens, I was still up. So Mom brought me up to their place. So while up there, I got a bit to eat. Dad was wanting to find out who was the guy who has a birth mark. He was thinking of Gorbachev a former Russian President under the ruling of breaking up of USSR. How we got onto this topic was I asked if Putin is gonna face the sanctions and get us affected or what. He doesn't think so. So then I asked what was his deal. Putin wants of USSR back together. I then asked if Romania was a member of USSR. And he said yeah. In my mind, all I was thinking of was if Romanian were to be forced like Ukraine is currently, that I'd be thinking of my Mom(Romania), hoping nothing bad happened to her or anything. But as it happens, according to my Da, it won't get that far, as some of Putin's are actually pulling out or at least giving clues of unhappiness with his leadership. Mom was gonna and obviously with Dad, was gonna bring me out. However, I wasn't in the mood. So Mom wanted to bring food down to my sis, so we we both headed there. I wanted to give her my food that I couldn't finish. So I stayed with her for a bit.
So then I walked home. On a bright sunny summer's day. I was wanting to go topless, however with the beer belly and such a hairy ie a BIG TURN OFF, I didn't have the confidence. Perhaps tomoz when I hope to go out to Howth by bike. You'd never know. Little by little.

Diary 29th June 2014

Well I got up, "fine and Dandy, like sour candy". hahaha. Got ready for my next and last Pride Event for the year or as I call it, the "Closing Ceremony". Technically the event I went to is called Ceremony of Love & Remembrance. A Poignant moment of celebration of those that have lived and those that have gone before us. I was met up by Laurence(who was standing up for me in the debacle of my regout yesterday) and Searson. Twas great to see em all. So the three of us, Searson, Laurence and I, headed on to roam around the town. heheeheh.

We first went through Trinity Park. Apparently, Trinity College, has a park a Cricket Park. Wow, never knew that. While there, I was trying to make out what was written on a newish type building. Moyne Institute of ... As I later learned it was actually "Moyne Institute of Science" and even more so its the back of the Science Gallery builidng thats on Pearse. Wow what you learn. Just unreal. We were relaxing on the Park Bench when we were seeing gay couples of both genders ie two males n females when then brought on the the topical discussion of same sex embracing in public. So Searson asks if we can't kiss or hold hands in public in the Outhouse, or in Trinity Park where we say the gay couples, Laurence replies,  just think of the Outhouse as a public place. Simple analygos yet, poignant. Then Laurence made a point relating to if a couple were making out in front of you, they'd ask why u looking at us, you'd say well its like in my face. So I proceeded to say "Socialite's Poisonous". It was my point yesterday at Pride, that you can be who or whatever you want to be. If u want to dress up as a girl, then do so, or to dress up as a porn star, then do so, or to even just march in ur Undies, then by all means. Some year, I will be doing so. My mother even thought I had nothing on me, ie in the nip yesterday, BUT just the flag. I learned of this when I popped up to my folks later on in the day well evening. Then we continued on into the courtyard where I recalled a Fine Gael event I was at with O' Farrell a few years(I wasn't out at the time). Mariead McGuinness was giving some talk relating to Agriculture or something. If I recall, it was to do with the General Election of 2007 of which If I can recall, Fine Gael did very poorly. I may be wrong. While roaming around, I was seeing what I thought was an "Inflatable". Heck, I even took a few pics of it. However as me glasses are broken or whatever, I couldn't see toooo well. When I got closer it was just literally a board. The curses that came outta me. I mean like, wtf. hahahah. What a laugh thou.
While continuing to wander around the grounds, I recalled Bernard's quote from yesterday, that I nearly did my back out again with the stitches of laughter. Quote being "Public Eye". He was saying this as my friend from yesterday was ashamed of being around me with my regout. Hence says this kinda thing. heeheh.
So then Searson went off home. He dispersed from Dame St. Both Laurence and I headed on around. I got a bit of a history lesson. Twas amazing. WE went down by the Hirschfeld Building as shown in A Pride To Remember. It was amazing. They had kept the front of it. But the back of it, was demolished. He told me of 3 Gay areas: Outhouse, Foam, South William St., So his last word before we departed each other. "We met on a Historical event: A Pride to Remember, and ended on an History Lesson".
So then after leaving him, I headed on up towards the folks. I then only recalled on the way up to my folks that when my Mom was advising me of  my safety relating to a tshirt of the Civil Partnership and/or the "Smile If You're Gay" last week. She said it's arlite for Pride. It's YOUR day. Mom totally enjoyed the Pride Parade yesterday along with her sis Maureen(Nun). She described it as "Feeling of Youth, Exuberance". Such lovely adjectives alrite. Had a bit of grub. Then headed on home after a bit.
Shortly before I went to bed, I rang UPC to try and transfer the funds over from the UPC account back to my Bank Account, as I need the cash to pay my rent. However, I wasn't ready for what was to happen next. They said I'd have to wait for 7 WORKING Days. However I still need to pay last week's rent and obv this week's. So Ill have to get the cash from Credit Union. Ill work on that on Tuesday.

Diary 25th May 2014

Well I got up naturally, an hour earlier than anticipated. I got several missed calls from my sis. I then rang back. It so happens she wanted to me call up to hear earlier than normal. So with this in mind, I got up showered and "spruced up" for her. I make it my business to look my best when meeting people. Generally for my sis. I can't recall properly if I ever for my mates. Dunno why. Perhaps that I would be late meeting before the film or whatever. So after the shower, Mom pops down with a Chinese of which I gave some to my sis. Then after her, I headed off to see my sis of which I hadn't seen her since my visit to the hospital when I visited her a few weeks ago. I popped into Spar on Philipsburgh Ave., to get a a few Toilet rolls. Then I turned onto Brian's Rd., of which I was looking for Rosie Hackett's house where she used to live. When the Rosie Hackett Bridge was unveiled, I uploaded pics on my Facebook. A friend of mine, posted a Wikipedia Article, I then saw in the article posted, that Fairview was mentioned and that she used to live there. So I looked further and saw that she lived on Brian's Rd., I thought 188. But when I was on the way to my sis via Brian's Rd., I was looking for 188., but the houses began from 148 onwards ie BACKWARDS. So onwards and upwards as one would say. I then popped into Centra to get more toilet rolls. Then across the road from her, I bought more toilet rolls in Maxol.

I then finally saw my sis. Hadn't seen her in a few weeks as one would say. WE chatted for a bit. But not as long as normal. We chatted about the ongoing family issues. So then we dispersed, she got a taxi back to her fiance to be. Then I realised that I left my Poddy and Earphones behind. My phone wasn't working properly cause somehow water was got all over it. Hopefully Sammy will be alright. I'll give it a few hours.

SO I popped up to Moms and Dads as I had left her place earlier than normal. We were looking at the Local and European Elections live coverage. Dad explained some terms such as Transfer of Votes. I understood some of it. He also explained Tallymen, Exit Polls. I understood Exit Polls to be, when the voters have finsihed voting, some are asked who did they vote for. That sort of thing. As regards the Tallysmen, from what I understand, they are the men who are looking at the Ballot Papers as they get opened from the big box. However we were all shocked that Bríd Smith(People Before Profit Alliance) wasn't voted in. So afterwards Dad left me home.

Ronan my mate Skyped me. I was a bit apprehensive at first, as I have a fear of chatting in person over a computer let alone on the cell phone. I have no problems chatting to my sis on the phone and family(aheam) But twas wonderful. So now am looking at tonight's Election 2914 Live coverage., that I had recorded. However, when I had arrived home, I was very distraught to learn that my Sky Box, had a technical fault, and had not recorded anything in relation RTE 9 and the Election Coverage. I had to restart the system. When I came in and not seen the Recording light, I just had assumed that either I ran out of space, or that the program was finsihed. As it happens, the Counts were still ongoing til about 2am this morning. Sammy thou still not waking up. Pls pray he does. I'll keep yee guys updated.




Election 2014:

Both Lord Mayors: OIsin Quinn (Dublin) and Galway City Mayor both have lost their seats.

Fianna Fáil, Sinn Fein, Others doing extremely well at Local Level.

Fine Gael/Labour Govt, completely wiped out in the Midterm Elections. In the words of Barack Obama "Change is gonna Come". And so far I think it has. Sinn Féin Ireland polling well. Fianna Fáil digging up out of the grave. So change defo needs. Oh and my fav the Indos and Others. So as Catherine Murphy TD(Ind) says "We(The electorate ie the voters) punished them (the politicians) at the Polls". We are going to continue to punish.

Bríd Smith(People Before Profit Alliance) sadly was not vote ie did not get a seat int eh European Dublin Constituency. Considering she did extremely well in the TV Debates. Got her point across. As they say you can expect surprises alrite.

DIary 17th May 2014

I was falling asleep at the computer. So horrifying and yet annoying. So I closed up. Went to sleep for a few winks. However I received several loud bangs at my door. Maureen wasn't as bad initially. But when Mom came, I thought hell came to her she received bad news or something. So as a result of me not getting my beauty sleep, I decided to stay on.

I was due to go to the Tarzan Movie and then later on get my glasses fixed.

So instead of I was getting dreams. One quite interesting one thou however: My sis and I are in a classroom somewhere in the States. And in front of the whole class and one or two other staff members, the teacher tells my sis that she must go to Texas, no wait how about Phoenix, Texas. Now I can't quite get the significance of Phoenix. Considering there are 50 states in the US. North America comprises of US, Canada and I think Mexico(Not sure how he fits in). Now it is then revealed that the reason being is my sis Gay and Foreign. I says, sure I'm the same as in Gay and Foreign. And not a peep out of any of em. Weirdly my sis ain't budging either. So if its not Gay and Foreign, could it be because of her Mental Illness. So i then in reply saying that I could sue your asses for discrimination. Ahem i'm referring tot eh Educators or Teachers as we call em over here.
I decided to find out what is in Phoenix, Texas. I asked a friend of mine, if there was such place in Texas but he wasn't sure if there was. I know a Phoenix in Arizona, but Texas???

So anyways I have been looking at 7th Heaven. As with any episode, there's always something that stands out. For this week, it would be the fact that I never knew there was such thing as Internment Camp. Its really amazing that you can learn quite alot from TV. There was an episode on 7th Heaven whereby there was a survivor from internment camp survivor. She was Japanese. It was featured that if there was a Japanese person or even a person perceived to be from Japan or whatever was put into this Internment Camp. Where they were stripped(not sure about Clothing), but any property or whatever they had, it was taken off them.
So yeah, TV film etc., is my future. I learn via TV aka NOT text. Same with sex. I don't know how to perform, so I take tot he Porn Collection I have and I practise.

A quote for you all from the mother of the series, played by Catherine Hicks, "Smile, Baby, Smile" saying to my babe Simon(her onscreen son)

The Legend Of Hercules

I popped along to see The Legend Of Hercules. I was most impressed with it. Especially the introduction to the film. I went along with a view of seeing my babe Kellen Lutz. He's a fine stumpen alrite. heeheh. But as far as the plot is concerned twas quite on the challenging side of figurien it out. Normally I don't read up the reviews of a film I go to see for the first time. Now I must admit, I had a sneak preview on IMDB. Link will be provided below as per usual. But from what I could understand in the movie of where I got the plot fully is as follows. Hercules is born as a god like the way Jesus was. as in I think a demi-god like Percy Jackson(Son of Poseidon) to a Queen. The King thinks the Queen had an affair and as naturally is mad. He forces his son Iphicles(Excuse the spelling) and Hebes to wed. However there' s a slight problem, and that problem is my sexy hunk Hercules. Hercules is in love with Hebes. "Even if he is a memory to me, I still love him". I went to the film, as it was described as "Twilight heartthrob... Kellen". By George did that live to its description. He is some heartthrob alrite. So Hercules found out that the King killed his mother ie the Queen. Initially throughout the film, he wasn't acceptance of his Godship not even acknowledging his father was a God(Zeus). So when he had heard of the murder of his mother and now his mentor(the Auld fella - Chiron I think) Hercules goes on a rampage. Overall a wonderful film to a great history lesson. Oh and one more item, the voice of Hercules soooooo sooothing.

The Grand Budapest Hotel

Totally enjoyed this film. Two words can describe this film. Confusing and comical. Wes' feature, promised great laughs. I asked one of the guys who was with me, what rating was it. I think its a 16(IFCO). PLenny of sexual references, and languages. I enjoyed it eimmensly. However that said, I found the narration of dates etc., so very confuisng. I would recommend seeing this film more than once. From my understanding, the plot is quite simple. Gustave(Fiennes) is accused of murder when one of his clients is murdered. WE find out who actually did it, (of whcih I won't ruin it for yee all)
