National Treasure (2004)

Rating: 7/10



Nicholas Cage stars as Ben Gates, who is in search of a huge treasure hidden by the founding fathers. The search cause him to steal the Declaration of Independence not only for the map hidden on the back, but also to keep it out of the wrong hands. The trail of clues then brings him to the Liberty Bell and finally to a New York church.



If you like Indiana Jones and the Da Vinci Code style of adventure (which I do), then you will like this movie. I wouldnt call this a great movie, but it does have a decent plot (although it did have what I call a "false ending" where the movie seems to becoming to an end only to some "stupid" event happen and prolongs the movie.) and there were no major holes that I saw. So if you got some free time go see it.

A quick word on the Mark Chesnutt Concert. There was A FREAKING LOT OF PEOPLE! I am guessing everyone who missed Toby Keith came to this concert.



So I have a whole week off until I have to work the WIAA High School State Football Semifinals on the 26 and 27, so I decided to go to the movies and see National Treasure (it is a good movie).



So If I have anything else major happen I will update this place on it.

Ugh, I had to get up at 5 am and go to work and and do nothing for like 6 hours. I then went and bought another Dan Brown book called Angels & Demons which is a prequel to The Da Vinci Code (hope it is good).



Ever want to help someone, but you just dont know what if anything you can do. Well that is what I have been going through lately, I just hope I can deal with whatever the outcome is and still be sane.

How Do You Like Me Know? Word Up

Well, Well, I am back from my three days of work and other crap (YAY! For me).



Friday: I worked the Pacific NW National Sports/Coin Collectors Convention which means about eight hours of doing pretty much nothing exciting.



After work I got a call from a friend talking about he was going to get a divorce. I of course asked why he gave me some lame excuse about the house being dirty and it wasn't right (the truth is he is being pissy because he is 23 and married with a kid). So I told him to get over it and hung up the phone. About an hour later I get another call and again he says he is getting a divorce (no, I am not kidding). Apparently they got in an argument and she asked him why he married her and he responded by saying "because I knocked you up" (I don't care if the person demands the truth, there are some things you just don't tell people). So after that response she kicked him out (good for her I thought) and after dealing with his bitching for months now, I told him to go for it. We ended up spending a few hours hanging out and him bitching about his wife and talking about the past (sheesh move on DAMN IT!).



Saturday: I worked the Sports Card/Coin show again in the morning and then the Toby Keith concert at night. It was the usual country concert crowd.



After work and group of us were out to the bar and hung out for awhile and SURPRISE I got a phone call it was my friend calling to tell me that they worked it out and were staying together (I really cant believe this bullshit, so I decided instead of giving their son a college fund I will start a mental health fund. Because he is probably going to need some serious help or at least some money to move out as soon as possible. It is amazing how people always talk about "violence" cycles, but no one ever talks about how other things can also be a bad cycle even the way you parent to how you treat food and the way you act with/treat other people.)



Sunday: Once again I work the sports card/coin show and yes again boring as watching paint dry. Well a few people called in sick, so the crew was a little small ( I am starting to fell like I am stuck in the old In Living Color skit "The Hardest Working Jamaican Family" because we are all doing like five different jobs at one time). But, besides that the Korn concert went great, I even meet Sir Mix-a-Lot (cool guy) and I also finally got to talk with a certain person I haven't been able to talk to all weekend. I did get to bed about 4 this morning and I am not going to do anything all day.

The Screen Savers Is Being Screwed Up(Warning this is about a show on G4Techtv, if you dont know about it you may want to skip this post)

Oops, I mean The Screen Savers is being "revamped" (ha ha sure). In turn with the revamping Alex Albrecht, Dan "Foo" Huard, Yoshi and many behind the scenes people were fired. The new "revamped" show will air after thanksgiving break (hmm, we will see). Here are some snippets from a few of people on TSS:



Kevin Rose: I know you all have tons of questions, and I don’t know much at this point. I’ve been told there are going to be more darktips, and that the show will still have a tech focus. Read his full post here



Sarah Lane: We're busy regrouping, reorganizing, and relaunching, folks. Today we lost some great, great people in the latest phase of our ongoing evolution. This is the reality of the biz, and it never gets any easier. Read her full post here



Alex Albrecht: The Screen Savers as you know it is GONE! We were rounded up today at 11am and told to be out of the office at 3pm... very smooth... Read his full post here



Yoshi: I will post more on it later, when I am in a calmer state.

But yes I have been fired. (that was pretty much all he posted)



that is about it, rumors have it that TSS could be merged with another G4techtv show. I guess will we all wait and see (Bullshit).



To everyone who was fired I have no doubt you will find better work, where the bosses respect you. Thanks for everything.

I Am Such A Blog Traffic Whore

Posted by Xyiko | | Posted on 8:21:00 PM

Well a little while back I registered at Blogexplosion so this place would get more hits. Why, because for a minute I was a :



"Blog Traffic Whore" -- which is described as a person who does everything and anything just to get traffic to a specific site even if the site is crap.



After each day of seeing more traffic come from Blogexplosion and none of it staying longer then a second. I began to feel that this blog was becoming cheap and a waste of space (no comments about how you think it is, so in advance SHUT THE HELL UP!) I would rather get one or two hits from people who will read the site then forty or fifty hits from people just driving by. So I have deleted my blog from Blogexplosion, but if you want to get some traffic I would suggest it.

If you ever want some enterainment watch little kids and you will be (trust me). besides that I have just been hanging around talking to a certain person when I should be sleeping (I Kid, I Kid). I got a few days off then I have to work the Toby Keith and Korn concerts.

Ok, more like a week and a half of nothing much. I did go out and buy some new clothes, new work boots and even a book (WOW, yes I read, SHEESH I can even count too ) called The Da Vinci Code writing by Dan Brown. Went and saw the movie Taxi, (make sure you stay for the outtakes at the end) besides that I have not done much.
