Props to Bob and Public Transportation

Today I was with my awesome youth leader. I really appreaciated some of the things he said to me today and so I'm dedicating this post to him and his awesomeness!

Once my youth leader, who I will name Bob for this post, decided he was going to talk to strangers on the bus. He had some pretty awkward conversations and scared a few people.

He also said the bravest man in the world was the man who saw a cow and said: hey, you see those things dangling things that's coming from that animal? Yeah those... I'm going to go over there, squeeze them and then drink what comes out.

Bob has also dedicated his life to the youth of my parish. He's always a really hard working guy and even when he, his wife, and his baby girl have the stomach flu, he still thinks of us!

So props to Bob today! :)

I'd like to rant about public transportations now... Busses are awful... They always smell awful. It's either the busses that smell bad or the people around me. The other day I was stuck between a man who smelled strongly of cigarette smoke, a girl who had bad B.O. and a boy who was wearing too much "Axe" deoderant... I just about passed out.

I've had couple wonderful experiences with the OC. So I'll describe them to you:

The busses were backed up for what seemed like blocks. It was a stuffed bus that day. I felt as though I was suffacating. Me and my friend were bussing to school when we passed through one specific stop. At this stop there are two sides of the station. There's only one crossway and it's a narrow slot between two cement street islands. There was a blind woman who was trying to cross this road but instead of walking through the opening she got stuck at the cement blocker. I was sad but figured she would go back towards the opening. Then, to my horror, she started following the cement the wrong way. I was petrified and sad. I thought for sure she would get hit by a bus! Then out of the corner of my eye I see a full out gansta-boy walk through the opening. He's going full out gansta with the snap back hat, the bling, the baggy pants and sweater. I quickly turned my attention back to the blind girl and felt sad that no one was helping her when to my shock the gansta-boy went over to her and took her arm. He guided her back to the opening and to safety. I almost started to cry I was so happy!

Another great thing about busses is one particular bus driver. Everyday he smiles and says goodmorning to me. Then when people are running to catch the bus, he actually stops the bus infront of where they're running from and lets them on! If you tell him someones running, he'll wait until they reach the bus stop! :) He's the best bus driver EVER!

That's my rant of the day!

"The Hunger Games" or...

* SPOILERS ARE ALL OVER THIS POST SO IF YOU HAVE ISSUES WITH THAT DON'T READ IT*

Today I watched "The Hunger Games" in theaters. I came out feeling content but there are a few points I'd like to address:

1.  You don't go through any emotional journeys.

• The scene with the mutts is supposed to be mentally scarring. BECAUSE OF THE EYES. I didn't feel any real intense fear. Peeta was supposed to hold Katniss as she went through hearing Katos being killed SLOWLY. In the movie, she mercy kills him almost instantly! It was pretty frustrating.

 2. Not enough time spent on Katniss and Gale

• One of the key points of the novel was to show the inner turmoil that Katniss was feeling. She didn't know how to sort her feelings because she had been so close to Gale and now she felt close to Peeta. The thing is in the movie you didn't see the real closeness of Katniss and Gale. 

3. Mr. Camera Man if you can't hold the camera still, THEN DON'T FILM THIS MOVIE.

• I get that they were probably trying to make it 'more age appropriate' by not being able to see the action but let's face it... 10 year olds are watching horror movies, 6 year olds are playing Halo and CoD. What's the point of making a short fight scene blurry if they're already exposed? The whole point of PG is that it's your parents that guide you to the right film. IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE A FIGHT SCENE, DON'T GO SEE THE HUNGER GAMES! The whole idea is gory! *sigh* I was quite frustrated when I wasn't sure if it was Cato or Peeta who was attacking Katniss. They both had blond hair and there was too much blurr.

I must sound like a pessimist but those were the three things that bothered me the most. I do admit that they did the best they could with the amount of time they had. It was a success and I think it's one of the better adaptations from book to movie. The whole idea of having Seneca Crane having to eat the berries was creative and clever.

Well... That's my rant of the day!

Facebook Hottie

I was browsing through some photos that were posted on a facebook page when I came across a picture of a boy that everyone seemed to find 'cute' or 'hot' or 'sexy'... On this picture the boy writes: Add me. C'mon ladies, don't be shy.

I decided to go to his profile and see how many girls had actually done this. Only to find he had over 4000 'friends'. As I scrolled down his wall I found a status that read: like if you're single.

Over 300 likes... And about 50 comments of girls telling him why they wanted him to date them. There were a few girls that commented how they were happily married to their cats. One girl in particular commented that she used to be married to her sister's cat but now was moved out and so she no longer had a cat spouse. The boy then said that she could marry his cat... I suddenly felt bad for the girl. A boy that every girl wishes to date told her she could marry his cat. He didn't say she could date him, he said she could date his cat. A cat is nothing compared to having a man in your life. 

Women who have 30 cats are trying to fill the empty void. You can tell it isn't working because they have to get a new cat every year on valentine's day.

I'm not quite sure how to respond to this whole discovery. The thing is someone who is that full of themselves is not good looking. That person is as ugly as one can get. Full of pride and cold feelings.

That's my rant for the day!
