Interesting that I didnt think of this...

I love watching old movies that I saw when I was a child and didnt understand. I learn so much about the underlying meanings and pick up on things that I would have never understood at the time. Such as.....Adelvise....

The Sound of Music used as (Adelvise) edelweiss as double metaphor:
It is first sung by lonely Captain Georg Ritter von Trapp, a widower, as he rediscovers music and a love for his children, in a rebirth similar to the flower's rebirth after the snows of winter recede.

Second, it is sung as a defiant statement of Austrian patriotism by the von Trapp family in the face of the pressure put upon Captain von Trapp to join the navy of Nazi Germany.



Ah.........Adelvise.........Flowers. It makes sense. -Smitty

Happy Mother's Day, fools!

ok, Im just pissed off with the media as of today. I think that when you are more informed that you tend to express your opinion a lot more and why not! Thats why shrinks can tell you whats up. Its because their education allows them to have an opinion that supersedes yours. Let me elaborate...
1st...There is an article of the best paying jobs in 2009. General Dentist is on that list which is cool but...the picture of the dentist has a digital camera in his left hand, a forcep in his right hand gripping a tooth in a very non-clinical fashion, and the patient is smiling like he just got a handy. Whatevs!
2nd...Daisy of Love on VH1 shows the men competing to save a Daisy mannequin from the "evil paintball sharpshooting snipers" who "never miss their targets". It makes paintballers look like f-ing stupid, savage killers that hunt fags with mannequins in the woods. Bring yourself to a regulated paintball tournament and see that this stipend is completely false.
3rd...Aw Cmon!!!! Wasnt there anyone else that could have accepted orders other than Maverick and Iceman when there was a crisis during their TopGun party? For God's sake, they were on TAD! Did they really have to prove that they all learned their lessons cause it was a movie? Those of you that have served know what I mean. For those that havent...refer to those that have!

Pacquiao Vs Hatton

This was a hard fight for me to watch in the first place. I love both fighters and just hoped that it went the distance with a close decision at the end. I did not expect Hatton to be lying senseless on the mat at 2:59 of the second round! Big ups to Manny. I also heard that Mayweather Jr just came out of retirement. Please, please, please Manny Pacquiao beat some manners into that boy when the time comes!

PS: I love boxing! I think its because I can go eat dinner, have drinks, and then scream at the top of my lungs in a bar. Maybe I just love to scream. I should watch boxing silently and them scream alone in my bedroom to see if either is more enjoyable. They just might be each others catalyst.
