The Guru..
I rented and watched The Guru last night... I had read recently that Heather Graham had reached a new inability to act, and I was confused as to what they meant.... Now I know. -- The horrendous performance she submitted during the movie was just.... abhorrent. However, the romantic comedy portion, and the actor she played opposite managed to carry me through the movie. That and Marisa Tomei.... mmm Marisa Tomei.... Anyway, the movie on the whole was okay, but you couldn't help but feel like Heather Graham was miscast.. in life, as an actress. She needs to find her inner-actress, or find another career. *Zing*
The 4th of July Rant
I can't help but point out we finished/are sort of in the process of finishing a war in Iraq with our allies the British. And then we have July 4th; the day on which (this year) we commemorate the 227th anniversary of our slapping them in the face, and deciding we're going to rule ourselves, etc. So, yah, we pretty much go to war with them on our side, and then near the end we're like, oh by the way, remember 227 years ago, when we kicked your asses in the war that founded our country? No, well, lets light the sky up to celebrate it.
Disclaimer: I'm proud of the country I live in, and I would rather live here than just about anywhere else because of the great opportunities provided, and the freedom afforded to its citizens. But just whoa. Come on! (End Disclaimer)
Furthermore, instead of, or along with Independence Day, why don't we celebrate the anniversary of the implementation of the Consitution. I think it is a far more important holiday than that of the 4th of July - Why you ask? - Let me tell you, since the end of the Cold War we are the undisputed heavyweight champions of the world, and the end of that reign doesn't seem to be on the horizon. So patting ourselves on the back for a close war that took place almost a quarter of a millenium ago, really doesn't do all that much for me. However, just over a fifth of a millenium ago, we did something never done before, we implemented this great document which afforded its citizens freedoms to a degree never before experimented with; the Constitution. The document that has created the world's only superpower. Yes, the people who maintained it post-implementation had a hand in it, but it all started with that little document being ratified. Thus, I propose we make that a national holiday on the scale that all other national holiday's have to be compared up against it. I want parades, I want fireworks, I want a 24-hour news channel to scroll the Constitution twice an hour, every hour at :15 and :45 after the hour. I want PBS sing-alongs of our favorite American songs- the ones that are all about this land that we love, the free, and the home of the brave! I want the History channel to run a special hour-long show that documents the history of the Constitution from conception to present. It would be great! And best of all, no work and no school - Yay national holidays! And we can all get together and have byob bbq with our friends and neighbors! Think about it, it'll be great. Or we can just tack it onto Independence Day - wouldn't that be ironic. Combining Independence Day with another national holiday, one which is completely dependent on Independence Day. Mind-blowing, isn't it. -- I digress, but wouldn't it be cool? Write your senator!
Done and Done.
