I Smell A Flop

The summer movie season is officially in full swing. May normally begins this event and there are already great movies out there, Iron Man 2 and Robin Hood are among those gems. However I reflect back to a few summers ago, 2005 to be exact. The offender of horrible films... Dukes of Hazzard. I did not hear many good things about it and from all the trailers and reviews I read, I managed to skip it safely and enjoy the rest of that summer. Now jump to this year (2010)...

A Team.

I wasn't very sure about it when I heard the idea to make a movie out of a classic TV show. Then I saw a trailer for it and thought ok maybe this movie has potential. Boy I jumped the gun in thoughts. Thanks be to the commercial kings, they revealed to me the best commercial to prove that I will more than likely skip it. Just wait till the end of the trailer as you will see what turned me off from this.

I know there are many movies with horrible special effects but tanks shooting in the air! C'mon! My first response when I saw this was laughter. There must have been a meeting around the writers desk about ways to create more action. Why they created that scene is beyond me. Besides all that the only talented actor in this film happens to be Liam Neeson. All the rest are either eye candy for ladies and objects for guys to say "Man I need to hit the gym to look like that."

If I end up seeing this it will be with my little brother who does want to. Then it will be once it has arrived at the $2.00 theater. I know it will still be supporting a more retarded sequel but that will be the only way I see it, also if friends tell me it's actually worth it will I consider paying $7.50

Enjoy to all them that do see it. Hope tanks flying in the air entertains you.

Gypsy Blood

'I Feel It All'
-Feist

So far my trip to Reno has been a blast and the next, also last, two days are full of fun and adventures. Today I made it to my old college singles ward and let's not forget going to Tahoe yesterday. Dawn and Kyle's wedding reception was Friday, very nice set up they had, would have been an amazing photo shoot and I can't wait to see what their photographer does with it. However let us not forget that tonight I also did the photo shoot for the Cappini Family. It was alot of fun, can't wait to post the photo's.

A few moments ago my aunt asked me if I had 'gypsy blood' like my mom has. I had to think about this and try and figure out what she was talking about. She was referring to the way my family has moved all over the place growing up. I would have to say that yes there is gypsy blood in me and I love it. Now what does this mean for me and my current life? SImple. St. George to me is my families home and not mine. (Now Amy, Nicole and the rest from St. George that may read this please don't get too mad.) I do love the area and I have met some of the best people there. I love my group of peeps. However I know and have fully come to terms that I must move away from it. Maybe it is merely the fact that I need to move away from home again and not just down the street or across town, or possibly it has alot to do with my current career as a photographer. No true answer is available at this time. Coming back to Reno has and still is a currently a blast and I am thinking about seeing if I can stay an extra day, (probably wont though.) Let me be honestly sound, I would love to live here again, Reno is home for me and I love every part of it, but this economy is not making life here any easier than anywhere else. I have another trip planned at the end of October to L.A. to photograph the Day of the Dead Festival (which I have talked about in previous posts) all of these current trips are being used as a catalyst to move on to bigger and better life ventures. Heck I do eventually imagine that I will get married and have a family but I don't think it will happen where I am stationed in life.

I must travel where the Lord takes me...

Whelp I am gonna go teach my aunt how to do 'light photography' so I should probably get going for now.

'Off I Go'

So I wont be going back to Reno anytime soon, but I was looking through some photo CD's I have and found all these pics from the 'pre' mission stage in my life.  How rockin awesome summers where up in Reno.  Don't worry I'm not stuck in the past just thought you'd all like to see some past Gawdun.  Heck look at the gorgeous Lake Tahoe!  I can't wait to go back there later this summer.  (it's true Katie we are gonna rock that place up right!)  Enjoy the trip down memory lame, heck you don't even have to ride in a DeLorian to get there.  I wont lie this mad me miss Reno life alot.  But don't fret everyone I'll be posting some wild adventures from the forth coming summer.  I have 1 road trip, another to Reno, another to North Cali to visit Molly and to kick it off the 2 week trip to Georgia in 2 weeks!

Enjoy

If you blinked you would miss the wild's at Tahoe.  I'm pretty sure she was in her late 40's

I need to rock that hair again!

Introducing my Lake Tahoe, what a marvel of nature.  I'd propose if she was real.  I ain't lie'n.

I'm pretty sure the serial TP and pranks don't go on like they did when I was there, I bet they miss the Twinkie Group

Ann, as always telling me to not take the picture, but I did anyways.  I'm sure the friends hate my love of photography ;-)

I got tired of the 2 rafts discussing who would pull Katie into the river so I just stood up and leaped onto their boat and pulled her in, good times huh Katie.
