Flipped out

Couple of things to mention.. Got some video from the big shin ding yesterday and will edit them to make a video or two for youtube placement..  An interesting day   where the hell did all those kids come from??  holey shit.. Anyway..  When there was talk of going out and tossing the football around a few things went through my mind one of which was ouch.. I really liked tossing the ball when I was younger but in the past ten plus years I have grown weary of even trying that.. Last ball I threw was a snow ball, I waded it up and gave it a thunderous toss and watched as the ten yards it flew it went from my shoulder height to about seven or eight feet high then plummeted to the ground.. I was trying to hit something and was awful glad no one was around to see that toss.. So when they wanted to toss the old ball around yesterday I hesitated and then came up with a brilliant plan, I would video tape the actions.. Turned out to be a good idea, and the little guys played and there were injuries although quite mild.. Gives new respect to the guys who play Australian rules football with their no helmuts and for that matter no pads to speak of.. I've always said if you want to eliminate head injuries in the NFL get rid of the head gear.. People tent to not lead with their heads if they know it will really hurt..

I have a site that I get really good bootleg concerts from and recently the guy who runs the site proper has returned, and the shows that are being uploaded are really good..  Not that the guy who was doing it in his absence wasn't good, but now the shows are right in my line of taste for the most part.. But I can't help but think that some of what I get is in line with hording.. That is to say because the music is free that I am getting it, for no other reason..  That sort of bothers me but it is rock music so.. I guess that's a good enough reason..

I watched a trifecta of good movies from Netflix this weekend.. First was the redo of the Thing which was the story before John Carpenter's movie.. And when it was about to roll the credits the story overlapped to where the original started.. I like that.. in fact I think this is the first time it has happened where a "prequal" actually enveloped to the original movies storyline.. Pretty cool.. Then last night was J. Edgar about the start of the F.B.I.  and his eventual abuse of power.. Leonardo Decaprio has just got to be one of the best actors out there now..  And then todays flick was Project X and if you know this movie I won't bore you.. It was quite the show though and the soundtrack was fairly good, not my kind of music but it fit the subject fine.. I knew how things were going to end.. It reminded me of Risky Business but more extreme party wise..

On the Roku I am really watching the channel 8  more and more just to see how it evolves.. Interesting to watch it grow over time..    I watched Drive the other night and it was .. had the best bits on the previews.. Put it that way..

Went to Walmart the other day and still I can't go into the garden section aisle because it has a rather nasty stink to it.. However I did go in that section the other day and started my research as far as seeds for this coming growing season.. Pumpkins will be the main thing.. Figuring on four or five tomatoes and maybe a pepper plant but last years disappointment is still fresh in my mind.. Maybe still too much, but there will be some plants grown this year but nowhere near as much as last year.. In less maybe there will be more.. last year I overcrowded the Earth box planter, this year it will be back to the tried and true...
