Ok, I really should blog more. Not sure why exactly, not sure that anyone will stumble across this area of my e-persona.. However, for those that do, I will at least try to put up some interesting things that I stumble across during my online adventures.
First of all, interesting thing I’ve been doing lately… I’ve realized that my children haven’t seen many of the movies that, for whatever reason or another, are ‘classics’ to me… Now, I think that a lot of you out there who have kids, or still ARE kids, or have younger bros & siseses, should make it a point to go back a few years (not even taking Gone With The Wind or To Kill A Mockingbird back), and think about movies that may or may not have come on cable, but that today’s younger generation might have skipped over.. and hip them to some pretty decent movie joints.. So, for each blog post, I’ll have a ‘flashback-movie-of-the-post’.. just to give some ideas… (and for the record, yes, I let my younger ones watch some movies that are PG-13 or even, God forbid, R.. I don’t need CPS knocking on my door, rest assured that since I know these movies already, I do excuse them from parts I deem too much for their surprisingly-mature-already minds…)
Flashback movie of the post: The Fugitive (1993) - Harrison Ford, Tommy Lee Jones
Whoo hoo, this flick was a classic who-dunnit in my mind. I’ve seen it a bunch of times, always knowing who-dunnit, but still entertained each time. Based on a true story, this caught my son’s eyes as we were visiting my girlfriend’s mother’s house, and the movie was being shown, albeit, in Spanish. Now my son doesn’t know Spanish per se, but he was glued to the TV (how do you say idiot-box en espanol?) and at that point I thought, he’d really dig this movie if watching it start to finish.. So, I rented it, we watched it, and he dug it. Mission accomplished!
Also, my most-interesting-according-to-Manny news item of the day. Today’s entry. When asked “What’s the stupidest thing you’ve ever done?” and the stupidest thing you’re ever done is shot someone in the head, but no one knows it, it’s best not to answer “Shot someone in the head.” …

That’s it for now.
