Goblins and Ghosts

Tonight we had bunches of kids come to the house for trick or treating. I think there were twice as many as last year. We live in a nice neighborhood with a lot of kids, but I really think we had kids coming to the door that live far from here. There were cars lined up the street for 3 blocks as the parents drove slowly along watching their kids. I think it was good that they were staying with their kids, but why couldn’t they get out and walk along with the kids? They could probably have used the exercise and it would have been quality time with the kids.

We gave away a lot of candy. Glad that I stocked up at the warehouse club a couple weeks ago – we probably spent over $60 in candy for the kids. But it was fun seeing all the costumes. My favorite was a little blonde girl about 3 years old dressed like a princess with a flashing magic wand. She was absolutely adorable.

More Movies

After I had a chance to think about it, I realized that there are some more movies that I love.

One of the classics is “Cool Hand Luke.” When I first watched that movie I came away with pure hatred for cops and our prison system. I still feel strongly about that, too.

Another that I absolutely love and came watch over and over again is “The Thirteenth Warrior.” The book was horrible – its a huge tribute to the movie director that he could see past the book and envision a movie from it. Fantastic look into the character of REAL men.

I’m sure I’ll think of some more really good movies that I’ve missed.

Today’s horoscope – Libra, that’s me

Libra

October 25, 2012                      I’m Libra

Winning the battle is not nearly as important as just making an effort to win, right now, so push yourself, but not too hard. You don’t have to prove yourself to others, now. You just have to keep doing what is right for you. You have a deep well of untapped potential, but there is no hurry to bring it up to the surface. Just take your time and appreciate the smaller things in life. Those mountains you want to climb aren’t going anywhere anytime soon!

Good Movies

Everyone must have a short list of movies that are their favorites. If I asked you to pick five or maybe 10 movies that you would want to keep at home to watch over and over again, what would they be? Some people call that your deserted island picks. There are a lot of movies that I like for different reasons. My desert island picks would have to include:

  1. Raising Arizona
  2. The Usual Suspects
  3. Star Wars
  4. Finding Nemo
  5. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
  6. Under the Tuscan Sun
  7. The Matrix
  8. Tombstone
  9. The Blues Brothers
  10. Animal House

Cowboys

I don’t know what it is about cowboys, but I have always admired the men who live that life. I think the men who can handle anything that comes up are the sexiest ones. The ones who aren’t afraid to work hard and play hard, and fight for what they believe in. I love cowboys.
