Close call

I'm not scared very easily normally but last night.. I wasn't scared so much as FREAKED OUT A BIT.. Here's what happened.. We went to the nephews third birthday party and coming home I was following a vehicle that had just passed me and trying to stay relatively close to keep any four legged friends away, but not annoy the guy for making the effort to pass me.. He then passed someone else further on up the road, me and mom were engrossed in conversation of some sort when suddenly there was what looked like a vehicle in my lane, literally he was right there in front of my, in my lane.. Was he coming towards me or going with traffic and slow.. I've had this happen before when I was coming home from the sugar factory way back when, I was coming up on something, a one eye, and I couldn't figure out what it was.. Turns out it was a hay bailer with a single light pointing back for watching the hey bailing action.. I nearly slammed into the back of that thing but had decided to slow down... Last night was the same thing, I hit the breaks, knowing it was just a couple years ago a young girl slammed into a kid that was in her lane causing a head on collision, you rarely walk away from one of those, the boy did, the girl didn't, he was in her lane late at night, this last night wasn't that late but it was late enough.. As I got up to him it was a pickup with an odd configuration of headlights, all four were on but not all were the same brightness.. He got by me and I told mom I thought he might have been in my lane, texting or some bull shit like that..  Pants change please..


I have started yet another Facebook page with my real name this time, what the other new FB was supposed to be but. When I started it it was going to be my real name but for whatever the reason, force of habit i'm guessing, it was another Badge Henry, and I knew it wasn't what I was after as soon as I started to set the pictures up... Badge Henry, damn...  Oh well, wait sixty days and then change it.. But instead I put my nick name as Chuck.. So.. Now it is as close as it will ever be to my real name because the new FB page is my real name, or close as it is ever going to be..  Finding the security setting and testing page made me realize I could have just stayed with the BH one..  Well sometime last night or very early this morning the new page has taken the way I said I wanted it.. This one is for friends and family and by friends, I have to have met you, If I haven't met you, you won't be added to my friends list.. A cousin I saw that my older brother added to his friends list last year some time got added to his friends list.. I thought about adding him as well but with my online name being Badge Henry I thought better of it.. Well last night he friended me, same as with everyone so far, including my uncle from southern California...  I friended him on my new Badge Henry page and he friended my new FB page.. The Badge Henry page I have friends I don't even know but I thought might have seen my name on my older brother's friends list so I friended them after they requested to be so.. Me not knowing the he isn't friended by me.. Where did they come from??  There are some five that I have no idea where they came from.. The new FB page is a lot more strict.. If I haven't met you or are not related there will be no friends for my real name site. The Badge Henry site, different story I guess, it wasn't supposed to be that way..

So I go on certain friends sites and check their friends list if they are open, and see who they follow.. Finding a few names I recognize and click on them to see what I can of them, and find out that their political stance and finding republicans and their staunch support of everything that is.   Well let me put it this way, not everything that is on FNC is as that slanted, but they do quote from there as well as every other right wing wingnut there is.. And one was saying it is April 2nd and it is snowing in the  Caribbean Islands, and said so much for global warming.. Like that doesn't show climate change at all.. It is snowing down there so there can't be global warming.. That is an exact reason to believe in climate change and this bible thumping moron doesn't even see it.. If he was on my friends list and I actually knew him I would have told him to get real and watch something other than FNC and whatever other conspiracy channel he watches.. I would say I would unfriend him but sometimes the unintended comments people make are funnier than things that are made to make you laugh...

It's been a while since I've done one of these what I watched entries.. I did see one extremely good.. Should I say great movies this past weekend.. It blew me away.. Check it out..

KAJAKI..  This movie is about a British troops that went on a search mission in a valley under where they are stationed to see what was there.. It was a dry river bed, filled as it turns out with Mines.  Now initially only one man gets blown up, his leg being taken off and the other in fairly serious condition.. Then things go down hill from there.. There was a point where you have this feeling this is impossible to happen but as the description shows this was based on a true story.. This was just one of the best movies I have seen in quite a long time.. Caution should b taken, they are a full on British cast and in being so they might be hard to understand.. For whatever the reason I can understand Australians a lot easier..


This other movie called Before We Go, and it is a drama about a girl who's marriage is falling apart and a stranger who helps her out..  A bit of a love story, and has quite  a few memorable lines in it..

Other shows i watched, Battle Creek starring the Mayhem guy on the All State commercials as well as Jush Duhamel, really interesting show got on my rotation after the Breaking Bad re-re-rewatching.. Then there was Cuckoo, staring Adam Samberg as the hippie that married a straight laced families daughter.. Very fun to watch, it has a Duglas Adams (I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.) feel to it, but he had nothing to do with it..

Nurse Jackie is another really good, somewhat dark humour show based on an emergency room nurse.. Zoe is a favorite in the show, and now it really is getting good in season six...

Started watching the Ranch with Ashton Kutcher as well as Danny Masterson, both known from That 70's show.. It has it's moments, but I am just in the first couple shows.. The jury is still out..
