It turns out at some point I became a huge movie snob. Actually I'm not snobbish, I just find that I agree with the people who are snobs (the critics) with regards to what movies they like! I've developed a somewhat simple formula to find great movies that aren't pushed by millions of Hollywood dollars and the number of insanely good...

As always, skip to the bottom, past the asterisks if you want to get around the big boring essay.
Micro RNA
We're at an incredibly important time right now and most people, in fact nearly all people, don't even know it. Just about everyone's heard of stem cell research but it's not necessarily the most promising biotechnology out there. It just...

Life and how much, how little it means to me
I know I'm supposed to stay away but this is just one of those moments where I just felt compelled. I was watching one of the best movies ever, Before Sunrise (Ethan Hawke, Julie Delpy, written and directed by Richard Linklater)....

ARGGHHHH!! I just spent an hour writing something and hit the wrong button and now it's gone....
2nd try, this time sanely done in Wordpad first.
First off, I don't have much to say right now. Actually I have a ton of topics I want to write about but no inclination to do so. Ironically I've been writing quite a few Magic The Gathering stories...

On Time
The idea of time was invented by ancient peoples to be able to mark occurrences of events so that future events could be predicted. A little bit later, the concept of history, which is looking back at past events and time markings grew out of people studying previously made marks. But time is really just an illusion as the universe has no clock....

Yes!

Ironically, no, almost the opposite -- after only talking online for short of a year and then me eventually, flatly turning down the prospect of anything more, .. he's quite infuriated and lashing out over the fact that he isn't and WON'T be "one of the people I choose to surround myself with," etc. Although, yes, he did have somewhat of a role for a while, so you could go that route -- and then in that sense, -- .. well. Just, yeah. But, relationship, no. Which is funny, because he's acting like we're getting a damned divorce.
AND -- about the whole -- it's good when they fly off the handle this way, because you get that glimpse? Yes, exactly. Man, what a relief. I mean, he did it a few times prior, and I took big, huge, whopping steps back anyway. But this just seals the deal. Before, he just showed me he was looney toons. But this time, I can see he's also as much of a Grade A asshole as he can be .. with what little intellect he's got.

Today, I just want to talk a bit about what it is I do for a living. The last couple of weeks, Ive had so many topics I wanted to post but I kept not feeling it and thus theyve piled up to the point where now that I have the inclination to write, I dont know what topic to pick. So Ive settled on...

I use fingerprint censors at my job. :]
Not for the government. At all. BUT, everyone over the age of 50 seems -convinced- that every fingerprint censor is networked to the FBI / CIA / every three letter agency, and will put up an EPIC battle against registering with us, screaming of conspiracies, Big Brother, this, that & the other.
It's amazing, really. I kind of .. love to watch them flip out. We have notes under the names of the most paranoid clients, to remind each of us not to even slip & ask for their fingerprints [it's habit] .. lest we get reamed.
Um. Really, though? Tanning salon = probably not high up on the government affiliation ladder.
.. Er. Tangent. :]

Let me know specifically what you want and I'll keep an eye out for it.
There's a huge store near my house that sells a bunch (just an incredible
amount) of items ranging from gaming systems (I bought my Panasonic/Nintendo Gamecube there)
to entire collections of manga.

On Thanksgiving, my mom and I went out to get some dinner together, on me of course, and we saw this strange van with a lot of surveillance equipment on it parked in front of our neighbor's house. I told my mom that it's a government van, which is why it looks so new and yet has no commercial markings. Yesterday, she told me she...

There's one part of my body that's pretty happy with her's. 
chrysis:
Wait, waaaiiiittt .. What were you doing that your "legs were sore for days" after the shoot? LOL.
And, I have to agree .. though probably for different reasons, that "Sometimes SG is like work."
I'm a big dummy.
That girl is pretty adorable. I mean, it looks like if I was in the same room with her .. I'd want to punch her in the mouth. BUT, she's got a cute body. ;]

Have any of you ever had your own subconscious play tricks on you in your dreams? Mine does from time to time. Often times I believe "I" am trying to tell something to myself or maybe even trying to provoke my conscious mind in to some sort of action. It's like where you dreamed a really convincing dream or nightmare and when you woke up,...

where are you?is ev ok?
I'm a bit depressed today. Actually I'm a bit down everyday but today has just been bad. Not sure if I can really go in to it all but hopefully with some sleep I'll recover. Let's just say I'm not exactly proud or pleased with how my personal life is going. I live my life how I want and I stick very strongly to my...

Thank you so much for the lovely compliment! Actually I love being "unusual"
I'd like to put two items on the table for discussion today. First is the origin of my screen name, not only where it comes from (I think most of you know already) but why did I choose it. Second is this idea I have about how to make this great country of ours even better. After being on call and losing about 20+ hours...

I've decided to take up the pen again and write. The past SG version kind of broke my heart when they changed to this newer interface and started over with a new database. All of my past journal entries were destroyed and I put a lot of work writing many of them. But several things have come together, leading me to...

Many happy returns of the day!

I have to say that you are awesome
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and the Motorcycle Diaries are two great ones and part of my dvd collection.
Haven't seen you around in a while. How have you been?
How about yourself? It's been a little a while since you've posted.
Good to hear (read?) from you.
