Awards Shows

I don't know why I watch Awards Shows.  I don't watch them for the fashion.  I watch them hoping that people I want to win do.  And of course, they never do.  The Oscars snubbed Christopher Nolan in the directing category by not giving him a nomination and then Hans Zimmer doesn't win Best Original Score.

I don't understand why people are so taken by the Social Network.  I haven't seen it and I don't have a desire to.  I have a feeling that it'll be like Avatar was for me.  The concept was cool and it looked amazing, but I thought that the story was stupid.  I don't care enough about how Facebook got started and the struggles that went along with it becoming the largest social networking site.  I'd be happy with any other film winning over it.  Sorry that's how I feel.

I thought that Inception was the best movie I had ever seen.  It was spectacular.  I guess I have a certain taste in movies that NO ONE ELSE has.  It's sad really.

Austin, everyone will know your name one day

My nephew Austin has a type of dedication that no one else in my family has ever had.  There's nothing wrong with that.  We were all dreamers, but we never knew quite how to execute ourselves to make our dreams a reality. 

Austin speed skates, indoor, outdoor, where ever you can, and he's good at it.  He just turned 14 but he works harder than anyone his age, anyone my age, to be good at what he loves and his hard work has paid off. 

I just got a message from my sister-in-law that Austin finally got sponsored!  Austin is now sponsored by Pinnacle Racing!  It's very exciting!  I can't imagine being 14 and being so good at something that people notice and want you to represent them.  And he takes it in stride.  He's humble and I can't commend him enough.

I know that his goal is speed skating on ice in the Olympics.  He wants to be the next Apolo Ohno and I don't doubt that he could be.  He works hard at it.  I know that they've been talking about him moving to the ice.  I'm just not sure when they're going to do it or if that something he still wants to do.  But talking about the Olympics when you're 13 has to be mindblowing.

Austin, I'm very proud of you and I'm here to support you!

Happy Valentine's Day

In Bruges

I mean basically if you're robbing a man and you're only carrying blanks and you allow your gun to be taken off you and you allow yourself to be shot in the eye with a blank, which I assume that the person has to get quite close to you then, yeah really it's all your fault for being such a poof, so why don't you stop wingeing and cheer the fuck up. ~ Harry (Ralph Fiennes), In Bruges
