Olivia Wilde


I first noticed Olivia Wilde on the show 'House'. At first I didn't know what to think of her but slowly I started to appreciate her beauty. She's not a drop dead gorgeous type of girl. Nor is she the classic 'head turner', though she can dress to impress at times (such as the first photo above). There's something about this girl that's very alluring and exotic. I just can't seem to pinpoint where it comes from. I'm thinking that its something about the eyes. Nonetheless, I think she should be the next upcoming star... more so than Megan Fox.

BTW... rumor has it that Megan Fox became a bit** after after co-starring in 'Transformers.' She let the fame get to her head. Actors and/or actresses that don't treat the fans with open arms should be banished from acting. This should be the way it is, cause the fans are the ones paying their f---in salary!

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs - Movie Review

The last animation that I saw was UP by Disney and Pixar. I really enjoyed UP. Good storyline, entertaining, and the graphics was on par.

Now, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, is another story. The movie is exactly about what the title says.

To sum it up: Some inventor kid, Flint Lockwood, grows up to make a machine that makes food from water. Somehow the machine gets lodged up in the clouds and rains down food. But the machine gets overworked and goes haywire causing massive food storms that starts wrecking the world. Flint then saves the day by basically killing the machine.

I would recommend just waiting for this movie on DVD if you would like to watch it.
My review section isn't very detailed due to the fact I don't want to give away the movie.

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra - Movie Review

I finally got to watch GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra, FINALLY! At first I didn't mind waiting to watch it until it got to DVD, b/c it only got OK reviews. But after watching the trailers and commercials for this film, I decided that I wanted to make the judgment for myself.

First off, the movie doesn't seem to follow the original storyline that I remember, but it didn't stop it from being a good movie. The storyline was interesting. It's about how Cobra became to be, and who the GI Joes are. There was a few surprises here and there, and there wasn't any slow parts from what I recall. The movie had enough action to keep me entertained, but not overloaded to the point where it was overwhelming.

The one thing that disappointed me about the movie was that they killed off the korean guy. Byung-hun Lee played Storm Shadow, and from what I remember about the cartoons is that Storm Shadow wasn't a side character.

Bulimia, eating-disorder, messed up internal organs or just in my head?

I have this uncontrollable need to throw-up what I ate at random times. Sometimes I can keep it in, and other times it comes out just by me simply burping.

Bulimia is describes as an illness in which a person binges on food or has regular episodes of significant overeating and feels a loss of control. The affected person then uses various methods -- such as vomiting or laxative abuse -- to prevent weight gain. Whereas, an eating disorder is a condition which affects an individuals eating habits, either as a result of their own doing (self-inflicted), or as a bodily reaction to the consumption of food. Eating disorders can range from mild mental anguish to life-threatening conditions, and can affect every aspect of an individuals daily life.

Bulimia sounds like what I have, but then again why do I throw up simply by burping? And why this is occur whether or not I had too much to eat? So its probably not what I have, but at times I wonder if I do.

Now, a eating disorder sounds exactly like what I have, but what kind?

Don't Judge a Book by its Cover

So today, I rode my bicycle to the post office then to the gym and then back home. But after the post office, as I was on my way to the gym... I had a run-in with the police.

On my way to the post office from home, I noticed all these high school kids running... I assumed it was for track and field or cross country (since it was after school hours). I wanted to pass them on the sidewalk but they were all crowding the sidewalk (and there was no bicycle lane on the street). So I slowly followed behind them until I got a chance to pass them. I went to the post office, mailed off what I needed to mail off then headed for the gym. While I was heading for the gym, there was two high school girls running in front of me. Again, there was no bicycle lane and they were crowding the sidewalk, so I waited until I had a chance to pass them. But while I waited to pass them a police car was slowly tailing me. Once I passed the girls, the cop pulled right in front of me and started questioning me. Here's how it went...

Police: "Pull over. Do you have any weapons on you?"

Me: "What?"

Police: "Do you have any weapons on you?"

Me: "Uh, no."

Police starts frisking me and then asks... "What's that in your pocket?"

Me: "Cigarettes."

Police, kindof skeptical and rude: "You're riding a bike and smoking?"

I just look at him kind of dumbfounded cause the last time I checked it wasn't illegal to do that. The police just moves on what his next question.

Police: "What's in your backpack? Where are you headed?"

Me: "Water, towel. I'm headed to the gym."

Police: "What gym?"

Me: "24 hour fitness on so and so street."

Police: "Why were you riding up and down these streets? I just saw you riding on the other way, and now your headed in the opposite direction."

Me: "What? I haven't rode on this street today. I was at the post office. I have a receipt to prove that I was there."

Police looks dumbfounded and starts checking my backpack. Then asks a stupid question...
"What were you doing at the post office?"

Again, I look at him like 'WTF kindof question is that?'

The police simply states the obvious, "Were you mailing something?"

Me: "Uh, yeah." Still looking at him like WTF?

Police: "Sorry theres been a lot of wierdos following girls around here."

The whole time I was just shocked and in awe of what was happening. I couldn't stop laughing on my way to the gym cause of the stupid remarks that policeman made.

And my wife couldn't believe that happened to me out of all the people, cause I find it disgusting looking at any minor in that kind of way.

Surgery on Myself

Let me start off with what I did yesterday and earlier this week... there's a back story to it so bare with me.

A few months ago I got into a car accident that broke my nose and fractured a part of my skull (around the upper right part of my forehead). I also had lacerations (cuts) above my right eye, nose, and below my lower lip. This all required more than 30 stitches. Above all else, I had glass embedded into my face because the side window basically shattered directly onto, well, my face.

After everything started to heal and around the time I needed to go back to remove the stitches, I decided that I didn't want to spend money having somebody remove the stitches when I could easily do it myself (so I thought). I thought I got all the stitches but a couple weeks later I found out that I missed one above my eye. The stitch looked like a blood clot, or dried blood. By then my wounds basically closed so I had to make another incision (cut) to get to the stitch. While I got the stitch out, I found a piece of glass that was still stuck in face, so I removed that also.

Now, back to earlier this week. I had two spots on my nose that looked like blood clots, so I assumed it was two stitches that I missed. I made some incisions and tried looking for the stitches but couldn't find any. But once I started probing deeper, I realized it was a piece of glass causing the blood clots. So it took two days, an hour each day, to remove two pieces of glass from my nose. One of the pieces of glass was huge! At least a millimeter by millimeter by 1/2 millimeter.

This blog isn't meant to give you some type of inspiration to do surgery on yourself. And you can thank Nintendo DS - Trauma Center: Under the Knife, for the medical lingo.

Another Uneventful Day

On a day by day basis, even on a weekly, or monthly basis... things are irritatingly, painfully, agonizingly very repetitive. Now if you like repetition and know what you're doing on a daily, weekly, monthly, yearly basis then more power to you. But, I am not one of those people! I hate having a set schedule and knowing what my day will consist of. I just loathe it! I like randomness!

So today, I mixed it up a little bit. Not so much that it made too much of a difference, but enough to say that I have a unique day. I went to the gym at 4, worked out for 2 hours, then came home, then another 2 hours later I was back at the gym with my significant other. No, I am not addicted to the gym, just thought I'd mix it up a bit.
