well lets see....
Events I could do without this year...
1. My 401k Plumeting to earth like a rocket with no parachute
2. My fender bender where My car needed repairs and I had to drive a Dodge Voyager which was 18 mpg at the almost 5 dollar / gallon days.
3. Gas costing as much as what is left in my 401k
4. Heath Ledger dieing.... it is really a shame because I fear no one will ever do a joker as good as him.
5. My Air Conditioner starting to die... hopefully can get one more year from it.
Things that made a good year for me
1. cut up and closed a couple credit accounts
2. getting to see my great neices and nephews happy and crazy as usual
3. putting up some shelves in my condo made things organize a bit better..
4. Getting back into Karate! I love it
5. the Game the Force Unleashed! Love all that power :)
6. Hanging out with my friends got some good ones and some good people I work with...
all in all with the bad always is good... even if its not evident at the time.
now as in all things I have to just kind of sit back and watch... the world is getting more and more crazy so this year should prove to be eventful as well...
Happy New Years eve!

My First blog... hmmm
Well its December 30 only 1 more day of 2008,
I normally like to look back at the year around this time to remember things like what I found exciting or cool or just what movies were my favorite...
ok so cool things:
lets see... Disneyland in September went there on a business training trip and stayed in the Disneyland hotel, got to go to disneyland and Californialand while I was there... Rode the pirates ride only 2 times due to it being close for maintenance all the time, shot a gun in the western area lol.. Did some character drawings in California land (boring theme park for me.. or maybe it was just so freaking hot I couldn't stand waiting in lines that day).
I was a Dark Jedi (sith) for halloween, looked pretty cool I think. But then hey what do I know... started out going to be a Ninja but my friend tom and his family went Star wars on me so to be part of the crowd I changed... hey the dark side had to have a representative!
Bought a gun and a Very COOL Sword!
ok that is all I can think of atm but there is always tomorrow.
Movies are one of my passions I like a good action adventure, Super hero, Sci fi movie any day of the week, and I like to see the CGI stuff the advancements have been amazing there.
So here is my top 10 movies of 2008
10: Wanted -yea I know really? well first I like the whole idea of assassins.. and the fact that using a fast pitch curve ball arm movement lets me curve the bullet in a complete circle?? come on now that is some amazing physics!
9: WALL-E -not bad animation, story is preachy ok maybe its not the best but it was cool to see how they did WALL-E
8: HellBoy II -now I am no fan of Hellboy but I think this was a really good movie. Nice effects, good story and great humor.
7: GET SMART -oh my gosh I laughed so hard when i saw this, the cones of silence, the Pocket knife, the beads it was a very very good laugh for me!
6: The Forbidden Kingdom -its Martial Arts with Jet Li and Jackie Chan with some good fight scenes as well as their teaching the kid martial arts!
5: Incredible Hulk -(take 2) OK this is the HULK I remember, I think it was well done, stayed true to the story and idea of the Hulk and yes Abomination was well done too... ENDING was wrong only because Tony Stark never wanted to join the avengers, he was the very last to join.
4: The Chronicles of Narnia -Prince Caspian, Really as a kid I enjoyed these books never read this one but I think it was a well done movie, entertaining, a bit scarey and well SWORDS!
3: KUNG FU PANDA -past is history, the future is a mystery, today is a gift that is why we call it the present? and kadoosh? what can I say fun fun movie
2: Iron Man -ROCK ON.. First perfect casting! second very well written, I know Downey Jr has had his past but he hit this role dead on..
1: The Dark Knight!!! ok this movie was the best ever for Batman and Heath did the Ultimate Joker I saw this 3 times within the first weekend and then once more in IMAX. FREAKING GREAT MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well lets see that is about it.. check back again soon for another installment of
