violetwonder on 1/7/11 at 11:24 PM

chaped4 on 1/7/11 at 11:22 PM 

but if you can make me a better offer then maybe I will reconsider

chaped4 on 1/7/11 at 11:16 PM

violetwonder on 1/7/11 at 10:52 PM

whoa there. that makes no sense at all.
i fail to see where any hypothetical progeny of mine have entered the discussion on this current conflict.

chaped4 on 1/7/11 at 10:50 PM 

what does that have to do with anything and your son doesn't count as a wife

violetwonder on 1/7/11 at 10:47 PM

chaped4 on 1/7/11 at 10:23 PM 

I am going to take your main city and farm the rest

• anyways, that's that
• so i worked today for the first time in weeks
• nothing on the greg front
• unfortunately
• this one whore that we both work with is newly single, which means her whore sense starts tingling and if she doesn't start screwing with someone now, she might just implode
• 
• and greg is a little flirt
• 
• so0o0o0o0o
• that's shit for me
• 
• but the kids i teach how to swim are so frigging cute
• 
• one kid has autism but i still love being with him
• he is the definition of "beautiful soul"
• but this other kid i have is the definition of "fat kid who is most likely an only child"
• he told me that open swim had been canceled, i told him no, i lifeguard open swim and i would know. he continued to fight with me over my own working hours. he is in fifth grade. kids these days, jesus.
• 
• then there was a kid at open swim who was just about drowning but he had the most beautiful thick black hair and he was probably around ten years old and he had a fucking mustache
• KIDS THESE DAYS.
• 
• God.
• so earlier, i was on una madridista's RM blog and the heading reads "FOLLOWING REAL MADRID" in big blue letters. my mother sees it and says, "stop going on mtv to catch up on real madrid"
• ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME
• WHAT
• I ALMOST DIED A DEATH OF LAUGHTER
• 
• SHE MEANT REAL MADRID AS IN  THE REAL WORLD
• WTF IS THAT SHOW EVEN ON ANYMORE
• ANF THEY NEVER DID "THE REAL WORLD: MADRID"
• omg.
• and at school, my English teacher was talking and i was zoning out but I heard her say "can anyone tell me what the word 'bastion' means?"
• and i legit started to say "schweinsteiger"
• 
• I HAD TO CLAP MY HAND OVER MY MOUTH
• and then i explained what an actual bastion is, not bastian. ugh.
• it has something to do with forts and militaries and architectural supports
• idk i said the right thing in class
• then i got home and my mother myself and my beloved sister with a visit to a shrink
• SECOND TIME TODAY, MOM, YOU CAUSE ME TO ACT LIKE THIS
• OMFG ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW
• 
• she wouldnt even tell me where we were going
• long story short, the doctor we saw now most likely considers me to be a Type A bitch with everything going for her, while my sister is some frumpy schmuck who just needs someone to believe in her. DON'T LET HER FOOL YOU, IT'S NOT TRUE!
• in reality, this means that I am expected to just carry on, receiving no positive reinforcement whatsoever while they continue to fawn over my sister and try to figure out what the fuck is wrong with her
• my sister is a 13 year old psychopath, i'm not kidding. Perhaps I will start a blog just to list all of the insane things she does on a daily basis...
• NEWSFLASH- MEDICATION WILL NEVER FIX HER. SHE HAS BEEN ON EVERYTHING IMAGINABLE.
• ugh sometimes i hate my life
• 
• i need to get away from all of this
• at least i have tumblr
• 
• omg and have you heard about the fish kills and the birds dropping dead all over the world?
• it better be fucking doctor who

Statistical Analysis of The Fourteen. Just kidding, I hate stats...

I figured it would be nice to know exactly what kinds of men these fourteen are in real life. Thanks to Google, this is what I’ve gathered:

• Matt Damon- born 1970 (39) Married to an Argentine bartender he met while filming Stuck On You. They have two children and are expecting a third to be born very soon. He’s also a little on the short side; he’s only 5’10”

• Brad Pitt- 5’11” and he’s 46. I didn’t realize this, but he and Angelina are not actually married. They will only marry when everyone else in America is able to marry (ie gay marriage). Six kids and no wedding bands. Go figure.

• Gerard Butler- Oh, Gerard. This Scotsman holds a special place in my heart. He’s 40 and 6’2”- a height I find to be more agreeable. His last reported relationship was with a model from Belgrade with a very Russian/Slovak/pick-a-Baltic-state sounding name. I don’t know if that’s progressed or not. Fun fact- he may or may not have been gay at some point in his life. Bicurious, perhaps? (Also, I cannot exactly attest to the accuracy of that article in the link.)

• Orlando Bloom- 5 feet and ten inches of 33 year old English sexiness. However, he is now off the market. Miranda Kerr (the Victoria’s Secret Angel) and Bloom are married and expecting.

• Eric Bana- (who I recently decided has rather large ears) is about 6’2” and is a 42 year old Australian. He has been happily(?) married for thirteen years and has two children. Fun fact: he enjoys car racing and I guess is actually pretty good at it. But really, how much talent do you need to drive a car fast?

• Sam Worthington- Sammy boy is both shorter and older than I thought he was. 34 sounds about right, but even I’m taller than him- he’s about 5’8” I think I might knock him off the list….

• Ewan McGregor- Also Scottish, he’s 39 and is 5’10.5” Married to a French production designer with three children.

• Christian Bale- 36, 6’2” Welsh. Married with one daughter. Fun fact: his stepmother is Gloria Steinem. But his dad died, so does it still count?

• Jude Law- Hey Jude…. He’s 37 and is 5’11” Also known as being a womanizer, Law has four kids from two women, although he’s been romantically connected with many more, most recently Sienna Miller.

• Colin Farrell- made a sex tape. But it was quickly taken out of distribution.  Anyhoo, he’s got that lovely Irish brogue, so I couldn’t care less as to how tall he is. 5’10”, 34, and has a child with a Polish singer/actress with an unpronounceable name.

• Ryan Reynolds- 33 and married to Scarlett Johansson. Lucky girl. Reynolds is 6’2” (Is anyone ever taller than six foot two?!)

• Jake Gyllenhaal- 29 years old and six feet tall. I approve. He’s recently been connected with Australian actress Isabel Lucas.

• James Franco- WHY IS EVERYONE FIVE ELVEN? James Franco is. He’s 32 and has been in a relationship since 2006. And who doesn’t like a man with brains? Franco is pursuing his PhD in English at Yale.

• Chris Pine- about 6’1” and 30 years old. No kids, and is supposedly currently dating Jasmine Waltz, who is someone I’ve never heard of before and if she’s dating Chris Pine, then I probably don’t want to hear about her any more.

To end things on a happy note, I leave you with Taylor Lautner's abs. I don't care what he's from, the kid's definitely got it.

The New World

The New World starred, most importantly, Colin Farrell and Christian Bale. These two men were pretty much my only reasons for watching it. However, my main impression of the movie was that It. Was. Terrible. That movie poster up there? It lies. If you really like extremely long, drawn out scenes with no one really talking, then this movie is completely for you. Sometimes that works on the big screen, but not in a historical “drama.” Believe me, I was not enthralled. If you were to cut out all of the scenes spent showcasing the raw beauty of early America, the movie would be at least forty-five minutes shorter. If I wanted to watch PBS nature specials for two.point.five hours, I would definitely watch it again.

Even Farrell didn't quite know what to think of it

Breakdown: The English are sailing to America, its 1607… blah blah blah. If you want the full plot, go read the Wikipedia article here. Pretty much what happens is that the dark, brooding, and Irish accented Farrell, who plays John Smith,  falls in love with Pocahontas. But the way the love is displayed isn’t conventional at all. This movie is chock-full of tender touches and rolling in the grass and shit. That right there violates one of my two rules. What. The. Fuck. However, they never kiss on the lips. Ever. Little did I know while watching it, the girl who played Pocahontas (Q'Orianka Kilcher) was FOURTEEN at the time they made the movie. Meanwhile, Colin was about 28 or 29, and Christian Bale was 30 or 31. DEAR LORD. I’m pretty sure that violates some sort of child labor laws and statutory rape is never a fun topic. The fact that there was upwards of a fourteen year age difference really changed my perspective on the whole thing. It doesn't even touch the half plus seven rule. Apparently, Pocahontas actually was super young when she started screwing around with those scruffy colonist boys from across the pond. Historical accuracy my ass, it’s possible to cast an eighteen-year old instead. Anyways, the story line drags on, punctuated by all of those nature scenes. Finally, it ends. And I don’t feel any smarter or wiser or anything by watching it. Terrence Malick directed it, and I guess all of his movies are like this, all transcendental and whatnot. Boo.

John Rolfe (Bale) spent much of the movie lusting after Pocahontas, staring at her while she grew corn. Turns out whirlwind romances from back in the day aren't as cool as other vintage things, like dresses and wall hangings.

Redeeming points: it’s all about the first expeditions to America and meetings with the natives, so there are a lot of shirtless men involved, Mr. Farrell being one of them. His delectable dark looks contrast nicely with the mowhawk’d, screaming Indians with war paint slathered all over. Bale doesn’t show up in the movie AT ALL until, like, far too long into the movie. It’s half over before he even shows his finely chiseled face. To be exact, we don’t lay eyes on Mr. Bale’s hairy face until one hour and thirty-four minutes has gone by. That was in bad taste, Mr. Malick.

            

And here we have Pocahontas, who could usually be found frolicking, as seen here. Oh, the life of a pre-pubescent Indian girl...

Verdict: Don’t watch this movie unless it’s Thanksgiving or something. Or, don’t watch it at all. Your choice. Maybe I just wasn’t in the right mood for it, but it was all too realistic for my taste. A little Hollywood magic would have fit in nicely anywhere in this movie.

The List

I made a list. It started as a list of my favorite actors (or rather, the actors I belive are nice to look at) and evolved into their movies as well. The list has two rules:

1) It must star a male actor that is deemed "hot" by me. Also, if the actor is a bit older than I like my men, I'll only watch the movies they were in from their younger days =)

2) It must be an action/thriller/drama. I'm just not the type of girl that likes mushy chick flicks.

And so, here is The List. More will probably be added...



Matt Damon- Ocean’s movies, Bourne movies, The Departed, The Informant! Invictus

Brad Pitt- Fight Club, Ocean’s, Troy, Babel, Inglourious Basterds

Gerard Butler- Beowulf & Grendel, 300, Law Abiding Citizen, Gamer

Orlando Bloom- Black Hawk Down, Troy, Pirates series, Kingdom of Heaven

Eric Bana- Chopper, Black Hawk Down, Hulk, Troy, Munich, Star Trek

Sam Worthington- Macbeth, Clash of the Titans

Ewan McGregor- Incendiary, Angels & Demons, The Men Who Stare At Goats, The Ghost Writer

Christian Bale- Reign of Fire, The Machinist, Batman series, The New World, Rescue Dawn, Public Enemies, Harsh Times

Jude Law- Enemy At The Gates, Road to Perdition, The Aviator, All The King’s Men, Sleuth, Sherlock Holmes, Repo Men

Colin Farrell- Tigerland, American Outlaw, Hart’s War, Phone Booth, The Recruit, S.W.A.T. Miami Vice, In Bruges, Pride and Glory

Ryan Reynolds- Smokin’ Aces, The Nines, Chaos Theory, X-Men

Jake Gyllenhaal- The Day After Tomorrow, Jarhead, Zodiac, Prince of Persia

James Franco- Spider Man series, The Great Raid, Annapolis, Flyboys, Pineapple Express

Chris Pine- Smokin’ Aces, Star Trek

And, as always, I don't always mean what I say. Don't expect the list to follow the rules.
