PLEASE PANIC QUIETLY

This will be the most random blog I have probably ever posted. Enjoy and take from it what you will...

When I initially began this blog my computer at work began converting my words into Sinhalese. Apparently, this has something to do with an email that was sent at work yesterday involving the new INDIANA JONES movie, a clue written in Sinhalese (the official language of Sri Lanka) and a man named Drew. If I had thought better of it, I would have left in the Sinhalese to see if anyone would notice and figure out what it was. Ah well, live and learn.

I've decided I hate knuckleheads. Below, I have compiled a brief list of some ways that you may determine if someone you know is a knucklehead. Perhaps they will be helpful to you. (However, I doubt it):

1. A knucklehead gets arrested for drunk driving in the middle of an NBA playoff series then accuses
his teammates and coaches of being quitters.
2. A knucklehead goes on a national speaking tour and makes public TV appearances to explain that its
not about him and that America needs to know the truth about race, all while showing that it IS about him while
the "truth" about race seems to remain just out of the realm of public discussion.
3. A knucklehead kicks ass but forgets to ask take names.
4. A knucklehead has affairs with underage country singers, lies about it for ten years and then expects you
to believe that they possess too much character to use performance enhancing drugs.
5. A knucklehead tries to marry the stripper. He thinks he can change her.
6. A knucklehead gets arraigned on assault charges and tries to escape his arraignment by jumping out a
third story window. (This actually happened today in Denver.)

If you've got any more knucklehead signs and symptoms, feel free to email them to me and I will post them online.

Can people "jump the shark"? If so, I would nominate Tyra Banks, Amy Winehouse, Hillary Clinton and Spencer from THE HILLS (hey, my wife watches) as shark jumpers.

MOOLADE is the best movie I've ever seen about the social and cultural controversy surrounding female circumcision in West Africa. The fact that it is also probably the only fictional movie ever made about the subject in no way should diminish it's worth. It is now available on DVD through Netflix.

I fear we're heading into a depression, both economically and societally. It's like staring into the headlight of an oncoming train and knowing you just don't have time to jump off the track.

Movies I Want To See in the Theaters This Summer

Indiana Jones and the Cave of the Crystal Skull
The Dark Knight
Sex & The City: The Movie (hey, I'm married)
Get Smart

Thanks for indulging me, you've been a wonderful audience. Next time, I'll try and put two thoughts together coherently, I promise.

Peace.
