Useless Bumbling

It's been a short while since my first post and a list of things a mile long have happened. I'll hit the basics and then get into detail... This is where you sigh!

First off, Cristin and baby #2 are still going strong... Still hoping he arrives a bit early but who knows. As long as he gets here before the first of the year(tax break). Man, I feel old even saying that! We finally got fabric to make the crib set! Yay... Pregnant women and their decisions! Cara is a mess and she knows it. She is growing to fast and getting too tall. All of her clothes fit but are too tall! And whoever puts commercials on Nick and Disney are the DEVIL! She know every toy and exactly what it does, and can recite every word from the 30 -60 seconds of advertising hell!

Secondly, Fall TV has started. We have picked a wide variety of shows to watch this season and there are still more that we aren't watching that I would like to! I'm a tv junkie for those of you who don't know. I had to say goodbye to my final summer show "The Glades" on Sunday. Great show... Can't wait for season 2. Now the rundown...(If you care nothing about tv skip 7 paragraphs down!)

No Ordinary Family was decent in its first episode and it should get better. It's got Michael Chiklis and Julie Benz... I mean that sells me right there. And for all you Twi-Hards Jackson Rathbone aka Jasper Hale is going to be on there for most of the season.

The Event has disappointed me greatly. I could write a whole post on the downfalls of this show but I'll make it short and sour. They filled mine and millions of other people's minds that this was going to fill a gap that was left by LOST. Not even close. Three episodes in and it has been a waste of my 8pm time slot.

Sons of Anarchy... I'm a fan... I won't lie. This season has started off slow and it hasn't had the same bang as the previous ones have had. It's building up though and I hope that it starts picking up the pace.

S#!@ My Dad Says... The first ep was 30 minutes of hilarity! I laughed through the whole thing. Although my Dad would prob disagree with me since I also spent the entire time we watched The Hangover in a semi-fetal position and he hated it. But beside the point. William Shatner has finally found a place in my heart... Chris Pine is James T. Kirk now!

Now my favorite show of the Fall so far... Hawaii 5-0... I never watched original... Not one Episode. I didn't relate the theme song to the show until the first ep this season. Never knew that is where book 'em Danno came from either. But the show has a good story line and the characters are GREAT! Grace Park, Scott Caan, Alex O'loughlin and Daniel Dae Kim. I'm not going to say it's a perfect show but is enjoyable.

Now there are a ton of other shows that we have watched but I feel like I'm rambling.

Now a couple of rants that I have before I get into what I really got on here to talk about.
Ole Miss - fans are hyping the team and there offense. Reality of the situation if that player for Kentucky would've held on to the play the Rebels would've lost Saturday.

Miss. State - I'm super pumped about the attendance and the atmosphere in Starkville. I'm willing to bet come December some major expansions will start happening @ Davis Wade Stadium! But on the downside. There are 2 spots State is improving in. The running backs and O-line. The Defense started the year strong and they are just coasting through. But neither QB has really shown anything. I had high hopes for them and the QB situation but it looks like State is back in the same ol' boat. But I still say they will go to a bowl game this year!

LSU - Fire Les Miles! Yes he has put winning teams out there but he has had some great players and awesome assistants! But he is a blundering idiot!

Now as anyone that even remotely knows me will know that I am a movie FREAK! I'm a sucker for a comic book movie. I'm super pumped about Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern and counting down the days until June. But what made me geek out on Cloud 9 most recently is The Man of Steel! Warner Bros. has put Chris Nolan in charge of the installment of Superman but not as the director, more of a Godfather like role. I mean after what he did with The Dark Knight, I will attribute a lot of the films success to Heath Ledger, he has been the "Golden Boy" for DC and Warner Bros. But who he has brought in to direct The Man of Steel is Zack Snyder. Snyder is tailor made for this and I'm pumped that he is the man on this movie! He did awesome work with Dawn of the Dead, 300 and Watchmen and I think with the way he shoots and tells a story the The Man of Steel will do better than The Dark Knight! Now as far as who would don the Red and Blue(which I hope they update a lot better than Superman Returns) I have a wish list as do tons of other people! For now I'm just ecstatic that things are progressing as fast as they are!
This movie though we will have to wait until Christmas 2012

First of Many

Well hello there,

I'm more than likely talking to blank space and white noise than real people but it's worth a try.

I want to get this out of the way from the get go. I did get my degree in Journalism but in Journalism you have copy editors that have your back. This is me in raw form sometimes on the run, so there will be grammar issues and other mistakes. Just a disclaimer before the lynching starts!

The main reason I'm starting this is because I have a lot of thoughts and ideas. So other than my three year old little girl, my wife and my boss noone else gets to enjoy the true brilliance that I can bring to the table! (yeah right) So I thought I would share some of them with you and see what you think.

Secondly, we live around 2 hours from our family so I thought this would be a good way to keep the up to date on the happenings in the "Big City"!

So just to catch everyone up on where I'm sitting right now, not literally but you get the picture.
We have lived in the Jackson Area for about 2 years. We like it, for the most part. Our aspiration is to have a big house out in the woods and try to do the farm thing. I hate having neighbors so close they can hear me snore.(no offense to our neightbors, they have been great!) I just like to have a little room and when I go outside in the middle of the night in my boots and boxers with a shotgun, noone is around to think I'm too crazy.

As far as my job goes.... I work for "blah" and they gave me a license to "blah." Best part of that movie... But no, I work in Public Relations for a State Agency. I love my job but as with all government it could use a few tweeks. One day in the not so distant future I hope to be far away from politics in any form but until then, here I am.

As you might read on here in the future I am a Movie lover! I will watch just about anything not saying that I will enjoy it but I will watch. I have a very eclectic taste in movies and some people have questioned my "man-card" when it comes to it. I live for college football and will tell the tv what I think at every opportunity!

My true enjoyment doesn't come from my job or things, but from my family. I have a beautiful wife that has stuck with me for these past few years through tough times and worse. She got me through college and even though she cooks very similarly like my Granny ;) she tries real hard to keep me happy. My biggest smile comes from the hug I get from my 3 yr old little girl when I get home everyday. Poor thing though, she looks a lot like me and I pray every day that she grows out of it. Ha!  We're counting down the days til December when our new addition to the family will be here! Hopefully he'll decide to be a little early, but not too early. My motto - "If you're on time you're late and if you're early, you're on time."

Well for now I got the first one out of the way. It was a bit rambly but you get the idea.

Have a good one,
B
