ONE YEAR LATER

I am now a year removed from intentional deceitfulness, lies, and disgraceful actions by a group of people to bring me down. As I look back all I see are fake individuals with personal agendas and it reminds me how it “used” to be.

Now, one year removed from that volatile environment I am so much happier, so much more successful, and so much more hopeful than ever before. I’ve come to learn that what took place was just a mere blemish in my life and that God has so much more planned for me. I'm not sure why it happened when it did but it happened and it was God’s way of protecting me from evil.

 

Some say you don’t realize what you have until it is gone but in this circumstance I’d say I never realized how bad it was until I moved on, whether it was my choice or not. God protected me throughout and when I decided I was going to fight back God had my back and with God on my side nobody stood a chance.

I defied what some people thought was an uphill fight and I turned the tables. I fought lies with truths, and false statements with facts. I exposed what needed to be exposed and could have even exposed more but decided not to. I took the high road and it paid off!

 

There are moments when you look back and realize certain people deserve certain people and they surround themselves with “like-minded” individuals, that couldn’t have been more evident of this particular group of people. They deserve each other and are fit to a tee!


So today, August 15th, 2012 I am thankful for some many wonderful blessings in my life and being a year removed from all the lies just makes me more excited for all the years to come with positive people, not negative, truthful individuals, not liars, and people who are genuine, not completely and wholeheartedly fake!

Ten Little Known Treasures

Here are 10 movies that I believe are more unknown then known in the movie watching community and I would urge any fans of either the Horror Genre or Suspense Thriller Genre to SEE THESE MOVIES!! Now it’s no surprise to anyone that knows me that I have seen more movies than anyone else I personally know, it’s just true, and my favorite movies are Horror films therefore I believe that 6 movies on this list would be categorized as just that and the remaining 4 would be more in the Suspense/Thriller category. None the less they are all Great movies, in my opinion, and I would highly suggest that anyone reading this blog check one out, or maybe even two, or three, or heck all of them and let me know what you think.

Below I will give my 20 word review for each film.

The Game – You never know what is real and what is not, home burglary scene with clown and music equals beautiful setting

Fear – Absolutely terrifying and suspenseful and one of the creepiest voices for a villain you’ll ever hear, beautifully written film script

 Clownhouse – A truly wonderful and scary “clown” horror films that will truly have you scared of clowns after watching it, scary

Trapped – Low budget, high suspense thriller with an employee trying to survive in a high rise with an axe wielding killer

 

 
 

Trick R Treat – Four storylines, a creepy quarry, beautifully decorated pumpkin and ghost lawn scenes an amazing killer and so much damn fun

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dark Ride – All you need to know is college kids, empty dark fair ghost ride, and wonderfully creepy thematic elements equals awesomeness

Midnight Meat Train – A couple of incredibly amazing FX special effects gore scenes and a hell of a storyline with plenty of suspense

Timber Falls – A couple, the WV Wilderness, a crazy religious deranged family, beautiful scenery and spectacular gore with a twisted crazy ending

When a Stranger Calls – All you need to know is this, the “original” call from a stranger inside the house to a babysitter flick

 

The Descent – Claustrophobic individuals STAY AWAY, this movie is NOT FOR YOU. Simply said it's one of my favorite horror movies ever

It’s Friday the 13th ya’ll!

ONE LOVE - TWO LOVE

Radiator Springs Racer - Cars Land = 13,320 seconds

My wife and I had the privilege to get to ride on Radiator Springs Racer, the new ride in California Adventure’s brand new Cars Land which during its opening weekend. Two words – VERY COOL!

Now considering it was opening weekend, we got there at 8:15am, only 15 minutes after the open of the park we were amazed at the line for the fast pass for this ride which was prior to the entrance of Cars Land itself and later we found out that all the fast passes were gone for the day at 8:25am, only 25 minutes after the park opened its gates. This basically meant we were headed to the ride to wait for it and my best guess was it might be an hour at the most considering we were so early, WRONG, WRONG WRONG was I!

There was a guy in the middle of the “street” on Cars Land yelling, “Radiator Springs Racers is a 4 hour wait time”, I looked at my wife and said, “No way, I don’t believe it” and we continued on. The sign said 210 minutes (3 ½ hours) but the person at the line entrance said it’s more like 2 ½ hours so we figured here we go. My wife went and got some breakfast for us at Flo’s Café which was pretty good and came back as we ate in line. It was moving ok but still taking awhile and at one point I thought to myself, wow this really could be almost 4 hours.

About an hour and a half in though we started talking with the family in front of us along with the guy behind us and it made the time literally fly by. We had a couple of comedians around us so it made it so much more bearable considering the final wait time we ended up waiting. Since it was 6 to a car, 3 to a row and the family in front of us had 7 total we made up the last 2 and rode with one of them and raced the rest of the family.

Now since I'm not sure how many people reading this have not yet gone on the ride I won’t list any spoilers or info about the ride other than this. It lasts 4 minutes and its fun, absolutely fun!! I have attached a little collage of some pics we snapped. I cannot wait to go on this ride in the dark, I believe that would make it even better. Now for the big reveal as if some people didn’t get it from the subject, the actual wait time.

13,320 seconds, you do the math! haha

The many faces of ME!

HAHAHA - Love this app and to anwser everyone's burning question, yes I was an original member of Kid N Play, we were a trio!

Should I be worried or excited?

Hmmm, should I be worried or excited is the question of the day? My daughter loves to pick out movies and books from our book shelf and dvd collection and we have noticed that for the last week she brings out two movies every single time, "The Off Season", a horror flick, and "The Dukes of Hazard" starring none other than Jessica Simpson. Now we have a total of about 25 movies per shelf so for her to pick the same two movies each time makes me wonder.

One on side I think ok Jessica Simpson, I can see that, my daughter has good taste and knows anything with Jessica Simpson in it must be slendid. On the other side I think, the Off Season, moreso a HORROR movie? Ok this both excites me and scares me. The thought of her becoming an avid horror fan like Daddy delights me but also mildly (sometimes not so midly) concerns me as well. I cant wait for the day that she gets to go with Mommy and Daddy to the Halloween Haunt however I know some of the horror movies I like, I think she can wait for about 17-18 years for that, haha.

When Justin Timberlake Tweets back!

Learned something new last night, when Justin Timberlake tweets you back a reply, your email, twitter mentions, and interactions goes completley off the hook! WOW! Met some cool new people last night via Twitter.

Thanks Justin!

Mega Millions

I have itemized my list of family, friends, churches, and organizations that I plan to give a monetary amount to out of my winnings from tonight’s $640,000,000.00 Mega Millions jackpot. So #’s, don’t let me down! Haha.

I always wondered this but never knew but there is 176 million different combinations of numbers so technically if someone spent $176 million and played all the combinations they would actually in this case win $523 million. Now here is the big kicker and I thought of this myself. I wonder how long it would take to fill out that many combinations. Forget the sheer fact that you probably couldn’t locate 3.52 million Mega Million play cards (5 tickets on one) but say you could then all you have to do is fill them out. Now I filled out my share this week and for one game on the 5 game ticket it took me maybe 7-10 seconds. Now even though my name is Kent I am not superman but if I were and say I was able to shave a couple of seconds off and do each game in 5 seconds, meaning 25 seconds for each 5 game card guess how many years it would take to fill out 3.52 million cards? Try 28! Yep, 28 years. Unfortunately the Mega Millions draws every Tue and Fri so at the most you get 3 ½ days to fill out a card so there goes the idea of trying to beat the system.

Now let’s get to the fun stuff. I mean the real fun stuff. If by any chance there is one sole jackpot winner and that jackpot winner is from the state of California their take home amount after taking the cash option and being taxed 25% from the federal government would be $347,000,000.00. WOW – let me say that backwards – WOW! Ok so breaking it down with approximations because my calculator can only be expected to do so much here is some fun facts about what that single jackpot winner could do if they so choose. Assume that you put $1,000,000.00 in the bank immediately in many states you could live off that interest for the rest of your life so even after doing that you could do the following.

For the next 50 years you could spend:

$6,940,000.00 every year
$578,000.00 every month
$19,610.00 every day
$817.00 every hour
$13.00 every minute

That’s a lot of green doughboy sugar!

So in closing, as if this is a courtroom and I am a lawyer, duh, whoever wins the lottery tonight will be super rich. Rich in wealth and rich in luck. I can only hope as well that whomever does win this jackpot tonight they give to churches, those who are less fortunate, and those who really need it. I myself compared to most people consider myself to be very very lucky and very very blessed and no I don’t need a Lottery win to make my life more fulfilling however I believe I could helps others do just that, many others, many many others. I am kind of from the Bresters Millions mindset where I truly believe you couldn’t spend that much money in your lifetime unless you literally wasted it on frivolous things each and every day. I don’t think people can really fathom how much money that REALLY is. Personally I think there will be several winners tonight. I don’t think with a jackpot this astronomical it will produce any less than 3 winners tonight. We will see. If I do become one of the lucky winners it will really make it quite odd for me to explain to my new landlord that even though we are moving in this weekend we will most likely have to move out next weekend. I'm sure they will understand and heck I’d let them even keep the full deposit. haha

A Midsummer Nights Dream!

Since I have decided to delete my facebook page I am transferring over some of my "notes" from FB which are basically blogs I wrote. This one was written on 7/31/09, more than 2 and a half years ago. I remember this dream so well!

Tell me this isn't a creepy way to wake up in the morning!

On Wednesday morning I had a very realistic dream that I figured Id share because it was more intense than almost any other dream Ive ever had. To the best of my knowledge this dream occurred somewhere between 4:50am-5:27am but definitely ended at 5:27am on the dot. Here goes.

I was driving down the street, a street which resembles the street I drive down to get to work, basically its an industrial park so its a two lane road with not much traffic. My employer's building is on the right hand side and as I'm driving by I notice two guys in a car who look to be in an undercover police vehicle just watching car's go by. As I drive by and park nearby they are still within my sight and something is just odd and I don't feel right about them being there. I sit in my car for about 30 seconds or so and watch them and as I do so I watch another car go by, an older beat up white colored Cadillac and there are two guys in the car, both front windows are down and they look real suspicious. I sense the two individual's who I believe are cop's to be very interested in them and they start to sit up in their seat's a little straighter. As the car passes by they turn into a business across the way and park right out front in a regular parking spot and slowly get out of the car. As they walk to the building entrance it is evident that they work there as others around them follow in for there normally scheduled work time I assume. One co-worker even offer's a wave as they head in. Seeing that Ive been sitting in my car now for a couple of minute's I go to get out and enter in to my work when all of a sudden I see the two guys from the car who I believe are police dash out of there car and walk very quickly towards the building where the other two guys entered. As they headed across the street their police badges were slightly visible and it was not confirmed these were indeed undercover cops, for that matter maybe even FBI. Seconds later the cops enter the building and no sooner did groups of panicked employee's start to spew out of the entrance. You could tell by their faces they were concerned and scared as they dashed across the street right to the right of where my office building was. I saw this and just keep watching as about 25-30 people easy crossed over the street and headed to the parking lot area next to my office building. I'm not sure what made me do this but I followed them as they headed to the parking lot and it was like a scene out of a movie. The parking lot was big and rather empty, only a few cars spread about and people were walking and walking until the reached the end of the parking lot and that was weird to me because it wasn't like there car's were parked over here, they were all on the other side in the parking area of their work building. As I looked around while I was walking it looked as though it was an actual airport parking lot where you would eventually run into a huge tall fence separating the airport runway and the parking lot. As I was walking across there were two individuals who I tried to get the attention of and ask "what is going on", "should I be concerned"? Only one answered me and at first glance he looked exactly like Ryan Reynolds and he said, "yes, very concerned". OK so this was freaking me out and as I attempted to keep up with everyone I hear yelling and screaming behind me and I see the two guys from the Cadillac running towards everyone. Right there and then my dream fast forwards and I am all of a sudden in a spot hidden from everyone else and I keep hearing these voices speaking but I cannot understand them, I cant see them either, my eyes are closed and then all of a sudden I can see. I was somehow wrapped up like a mummy in explosives and they were untangling me like unwinding a mummy's cloth and I kept feeling this prickling as they continued to untangle me on my chest and stomach. It's like they were unwinding me and at the end I was expecting to explode. As they continued to untangle me over and over and over I kept feeling these prickly pinch's over and over and then finally at the very end of my dream they completely untangle me and run away screaming out loud language once again I cannot understand and poof - dream over and I'm awake.

I awoke in a sweat and panic as the dream was very real to me, more so than most. I noticed immediately the time and it read 5:27am, 12 minutes later than I originally needed to be up and who do I see kneading me as I awoke right on top of me on my covers inches away from my face, my cat Topanga and that "prickling" I was feeling was no doubt my cat kneading me over and over again as she does every morning waiting for me to get up and feed her. Only this morning was different, this morning her kneading added more than I wanted and more than a measly wake up call, it added stress and realness to a dream I didn't need to be more real in the first place.

I CANT WAIT
