Death Sentence

A typical Saturday...pretty boring for the most part. Today actually had its moments but they'll be forgotten in about a week.

I slept in until about 9am, ate breakfast, did my thing, and got on the computer. My aunt gets a hold of me on MSN through my cousin's messenger and says my grandma is coming over and asked if I wanted too. With my cousin being gone at his dad's I was reluctant at first, but thought, "What the hell, I'm bored. Might as well."

My back was aching like that of an old man's from lifting those bricks after school yesterday, so I figured swimming would be good for it. However the water was freakin' cold! Now, I usually don't have a problem with cold water but today I guess it was too warm outside for the water to be so cold, so the extremes made me uncomfortable. Since I didn't really feel like swimming I just got one of the pool mats and fell asleep under the warm sun....and yeah, I got a sunburn on my chest and stomach, and since my arms were angled in it makes sort of a V-shape. I don't know if that's relevant, but it's my blog and I can write whatever I want, right?

After my nap we went shopping (ugh!). I guess it wasn't that bad; I got some new stuff, but w/e...it still kept me occupied. When we were driving out of Loma Linda my aunt was telling a story about their trip to Denver a couple weeks ago. She told my grandma how they were at some sort of mini-mall thing or something and my cousin turned and looked at this tall black guy, making eye contact. Here's what the black guy said, and I'm quoting, "What the fuck you starin at, little white bitch?" My uncle was smart and didn't say anything, my cousin laughed it off, and my aunt thought he was talking to some blonde chick walking their way. If I was there I would've flew off my hinges....eww I was pissed when I heard this! I could feel the fire burning inside me; reminded me of back in Tulsa and those kids down the street that always jumped everyone. So I went off into a little rant inside my head and continued to imagine what I would've done if I were there.

So after shopping we met my uncle Greg at Fudrucker's where I had one of the best chicken sandwiches I'd had in a long time. I pretty much just sat there and listened to the conversations that ensued. I don't know what it is, but for some reason my mom and grandma annoy the hell out of me. I seriously don't know what my deal is with them, but they're the only people I have very little patience or tolerance with...actually, I have zero patienct and tolerance with them. It's just weird.

After eating I got dropped off at the theatre and watched Death Sentece, a Kevin Bacon movie. Since I don't feel like telling what it's about I'll just tell you what Yahoo says:

"Nick Hume is a mild-mannered executive with a perfect life, until one gruesome night he witnesses something that changes him forever. Transformed by grief, Hume eventually comes to the disturbing conclusion that no length is too great when protecting his family"

I had a very mixed reaction leaving this movie. There were a lot of times where it wasn't believable and I never really got into it until the end where he opened up a can of whup-ass on everyone. I'm not a harsh critic, trust me...I usually leave a movie thinking "Oh I have to get that on DVD when it comes out," but I usually don't. This movie didn't have me thinking that, and although the storyline was good, it wasn't executed very well. So unless you've seen everything else or you're a huge Kevin Bacon fan, save your money and rent this on DVD when it comes out...which will probably cost more anyway since Blockbuster charges so damn much nowadays. Whatever, to each their own, but I recommend Halloween over this if you want to see people getting killed.

Well, have a good day/night, and here's the trailer to Kevin Bacon's Death Sentence

Seal,
