Rolling A Big Fat One

So high school kids went back to school today, and like a loser I went back too. BUT! before you judge me, it was just to see Crockett, the best teacher I ever had, and to give him some coffee. Yes, it felt rather odd walking back into a high school, but hey, we've all got to show our favorite teachers our love and appreciation, right?

On another note, this is one of the worst things college student can see:



Why do I have to drive a suburban? Any money I make goes straight into the bottomless fuel pit.
Note: If your going to college get a honda, not a suburban.

Movies:

So last night I went to see the new movie "
Julie&Julia." How was it? Well it wasn't bad, but it was far too long and drawn out. It seemed like a way to tell Julia Child's story, but if you want to tell her story just tell it and don't throw in a set of characters that bores the viewer. Yes, it is based on a book written by Julie Powell, the character that I thought the movie could do without, but I honestly believe it would have been a better movie if it was just on Julia Child. The sections about her were far more interesting, entertaining, and even funny at times.
Production wise, the movie had nothing special. A typical more intelligent flick, but sometimes the transitions between stories were unclear and poorly done.


Music:

The latest two albums I purchased were: Anjulie -Anjulie and The Foundation -Zac Brown Band.
Preference? Of course. I prefer Zac Brown Band, maybe because I'm more of a country fan then a pop fan.


The Foundation is good home grown country music with an awesome opener, Toes, "I got my toes in the water, ass in the sand, not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand." I think it may also be one of the first country songs I've heard with a reference to marijuana: "Gonna lay in the hot sun and roll a big fat one." Of course this album also includes their hit singles: "Chicken Fried" and "Whatever It Is"


Anjulie is a unique style of pop, or so i thought from the opener 'Boom' but with a further, but brief, listen it seems to be your ordinary pop album.


Oh, by the way. If anyone has any ideas for ways to make my videos more entertaining, which they should get more so when I finally move in to MTSU, please feel free to comment them below or tell me via Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, or Email.
