I've been through this so many times.. What was that song?? Here it is.. The lyric goes like this.. Something like this.. "... hope I die before I get old"... and what Roger was saying (Daltry) that they didn't trust the establishment.. The government.. Pretty much anyone over the age of thirty.. But when I think of those words I thought of there would be little chance I would be very old.. I thought if I lived to see 42 that would be a miracle, not because I was terminal or living on the edge.. Not really living on the edge at all although I did a few things while in the band I was in that could have been tough to live through if done too many times.. The one time I came the closest to being not alive anymore, we were coming back from a gig one Monday night (early Tuesday morning, yeah we played a Monday night gig, go figure) and we were coming home on what could only be called a sheet of ice.. We get to this place called Peetz hill and gradually we come to a slow down. Really slow as I could tell even though I was watching the speedometer showing sixty miles an hour I could tell we weren't going very fast.. I opened the door of the van and looked out and thought maybe I should get out and push, so that is what I did.. Hopped out of the van while the speedometer said sixty I hopped out and turned around and yelled back in "you want me to push?".. That was a stunner for the guy driving, I think he thought we were actually going that fast..
The disc part of Netflix rental are still out of sync since the Salmon flick fiasco but that really isn't a problem.. I watch a movie of Wednesday night because Wednesday night is dead night as far as television is concerned ... Last night was Robot and Frank, kind of reminded me of that movie with Robin Williams in it where he player a robot type of thing.. But in this case the robot looked like the old robot from years past.. It was sort of funny but not completely.. As the lead character was the elder "Frank" his son brought him a companion robot to help clean the house and help keep him healthy with his eating habits.. Frank was a thief and soon saw a way to incorporate the robot as a tool to help steal things.. It was a really good movie but it was the previews that got my queue a little fuller.. Yeah, I watch the previews for inspiration as to what to get next.. Here's the movies I thought were worth adding, Company of Heroes (a world war II movie looks fantastic as most movies about our greatest generation are)... Looper (everyone has seen the previews of this movie).. Seven Psychopaths (with a star studded cast and it looks like a lot of fun).. The Intouchables (is a movie that is a reader that is a French movie but looks to be really good, I don't mind a really good movie to read if I'm interested.. I hate to admit that I have dozed off during a movie that I have to read the subtitles.)...Last night I finished watching a movie I started the night before called Monster.. This was a movie I started streaming from Netflix and stopped mostly because I started it just before one and didn't want to sleep through it so at the midway point stopped it.. the movie reminded me of that movie Cloverfield from a few years back. A POV movie with the shaky camera and troubled video with the pixelized and other effects to the video to prove the point that something scary was happening.. We get it.. Stop these type of movies.. I Think they just wanted to try to improve on the genre of the POV movie.. Not horrible of an idea but Monster wasn't much different from Cloverfield.. Not much anyway, with a (spoiler alert) same ending... What made it maybe a little more scary was that it was in Japan and the language difference made it a little more tense..
I made my bracket out for the final four tourney. Truth is I care about college basketball about the same as NHL hockey which is to say I DON'T.. But just for fun S&G's I filled one out with little knowing of what was what or who.. This wasn't the case some 25 years ago I loved everything about college basketball, and watched like no tomorrow.. What happened to change that?? I'm not sure.. I think it was watching guys throw a ball through a hoop thing.. Or maybe it is the redundancy of the sport.. Not sure.. I might only see a few minutes of the tournament at most.. Very yawn worthy.. I'll check Justin.tv on Roku to see if the games are being streamed.. Just for fun..
