For some reason the first time I posted this Blog some strange code showed up in my writings so, I have decided to re-post it with some extra bonuses.

Christmas was nice, a relaxing one. I went to the Lions game, Ford field is killer. Big and beautiful as any big new stadium can be, it is too bad that it is the home of the Lions. It also sucks that beers cost $7.00 a piece. This is no place to get a buzz. It was not a white Christmas but it was still beautiful. Family can make even the most grey days bright. I played Catch Phrase, for the first time ever this season, with the family. It was most fun, I recommend it to anyone looking for a good group game to play. I do not have a full sized couch, so I have not taken a nap on a couch in a really long time. I think I might try and squeeze one in before I head back to Milwaukee. My sister can belch like the best of them. I think she has this talent because she has two older brothers. Well, she let one rip in the other room and asked if I heard it and I asked "IF SHE WAS BEHAVING LIKE A LADY?" she then tried to blame it on my Mom. All I could do was laugh. I hope it gets way colder in Milwaukee so I can go ice skating this year. I have been saying the last 3 years that I was going to go skating, but never really got around to it. I have never felt an airbag. I wonder if it feels like silk or canvas. If it feels like canvas it would hurt. But hurt less than my steering wheel. Why has Rad, stopped being so cool? I know it is short for Radical. But there has to be a point after the early nineties when people started saying stop saying Rad it is not so cool anymore. But cool has stayed cool since the beatniks in the early part of the twentieth century. What gives and how does society decide what stays and what goes?  I saw The Holiday with my family. It was good, but not great or super fantastic. I rate movies on a scale of Sucky>Bad>O.K.>Good>Great>Super Fantastic. This one rated at Good. If you don't want the movie ruined stop reading now.THIS IS YOUR WARNING. Well, I rate it good because it was good. I was not bored. It was kind of a sappy Hollywood love story, everyone was successful in there business lives. It was there love lives that needed work. Can you smell Hollywood here? Then if you mention something more than once in a the first half of a movie, you know it is going to happen in the end. I guess if you are still reading you have seen the film, so if they really wanted to make it a tear jerker they should have killed off the old guy just before his reception and had his new friends talk about how "great" he was. It was kind of funny how he acted lost when he was walking outside, then he was fine the rest of the movie. What was that all about? Jack Black was acting serious in this one even more serious than his role in Nacho Libre. I hope I did not ruin anything for anyone. My mom loved the movie and said if the old guy died it would be to sad and she would not want to see it again, but since it was a Hollywood happy ending, she will most likely end up owning it on DVD. I think it is a good mom movie. I have to go to the dentist on the 2nd of January. I think it will go alright I brush twice a day. Keep Smiling Milwaukee.
