There are people on the net that have nothing better to do with their time
then be nasty to other people online. They post rude comments, spend hours
a day talking about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a
day talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for their
opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone to fit into
their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw a temper tantrum.
To these people I say grow up.
Here's a bit of info people...the web is
a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here, or who I am, or what I
do, or talk about, or what I look like, or the color of my hair, or
whatever asinine thing you dwell on, go somewhere else. It's
really, really easy. Honest. You just click the little "x" in
the corner of your browser and *poof* the offending, big, mean and nasty
site has disappeared.
I pay for this site. It's mine. That
means I can use it for whatever the hell I want to. Don't like it if I'm
bitching about something in my life? Oh fucking well. Go somewhere else.
Think I'm stupid for expressing my thoughts? Too fucking bad, don't read
them. Somewhere along the line, someone forgot this simple fact: Live
and let live Don't like me, cool, fine, whatever, I don't care.
This journal is NOT for you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or
fame or anything stupid like that. I write it because I need to write and
express myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So read or don't,
it doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours) bitching about it.

A Pirate's Life Indeed!
Damn. So, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest has had an absolutely record-shattering opener. The largest single-day opener ever. $55.5 million dollars just domestically and just on it's opening day, Friday, July 7th. It then has blown the doors off the previous opening weekend record. Thought to be utterly unbreakable, the former number one weekend of all time went to Spider-Man with $114.8 million dollars. Potc: DMC? Estimates put it at an unthinkable $132 million dollars "I always thought 'Spider-Man' might have an untouchable record, so $132 million is just mind-numbing," said Chuck Viane, president of Disney's Buena Vista Distribution division. "I don't think anyone could have anticipated being this wildly successful." Hot damn, that's a lot of money. And an amazing success. Yo ho, yo ho, a pirates life for me? Apparently yes!  I went to my Theater of Hidden Gold again on Saturday and we watched it. Arriving 30 minutes before showtime, we were the first in the theater, snagging perfect seats. Ah...bliss. By the time the show started, the theater was almost full. The beauty of my ToHG however, is that it is 21 and up so there were no screaming kids in sight. Had we gone to the normal megaplex down the road, we would have had to line up about 1.5 - 2 hours in advance just to get a seat. And they wouldn't have been reclining leather ones either. *grins* Oh ToHG, how I love thee! Oh the movie you ask? Odds are you've already seen it. Clearly by the numbers, most people have! In the event you haven't yet, you should see it. (*SPOILER FREE*) It's a little darker then the first and the humor isn't quite as non-stop one-liners, but it's still excellent and Capt. Jack Sparrow is back in all his wonderful, girly-running glory. (Seriously. Watch him run. It's hysterical. When he runs off, he looks like a girl.) The special effects are good, Davey Jone's crew is freaking creepy, and it definately makes you want to see the third. Fear not! It's a short wait. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (as it is currently being refered to) is scheduled to hit theaters May 25, 2007. You've a mere ten months to wait. An enjoyable movie experience. And you know, it's pirates! Arg matey! Go see it.
