Uwe Boll makes a movie "Postal"

Well I just finished watching it here at the Wichita airport and it was great. Dont think of it as a scary movie, disaster movie or some mainstream shit like that. This has a plot, washed up characters and good acting. The movie has goofy jokes, but they all fall into place and dont seem like they were just thrown in for the fun of it. You have to have a sense of humor and mostly dark in order to like this. It starts off with the hijackers arguing about how many virgins they get, untill they finnaly call Osama and ask him. Its about terriosts, a religious cult and the end of the world. My attention was kept throughout the entire think and more than once I laughed outloud. I cant emphasize enough that this is nothing like those bull crap spoof movies we have, everything works out smoothly in this. Its a must see, but remember this movie has no "limit", anyone and everyone can and will die.

Food?

I am hoping these are little baby octopuses I just ate. Click on picture for a much better view.

Kids

Three votes and all different, that is nuts. Some of you are probably thinking James has two kids, two boys, some are thinking he has three kids, two boys and a girl. Oh, and whoever said one doesn't know anything and they need to step forward. At one point there was concern of two boys, but that has been proven untrue. I have made the decision on my own to make Hailie, that is Damians sister a part of my life. Hailie's father wanted nothing to do with her and if anyone can tell a baby not to bother them when your interacting with their brother, you can burn in hell. I made this decision a couple of years ago and its been that way ever since. So know you now, I have two kids.

WTF James

What is this, is this a Uwe Boll movie? Did you really spend the money on his piece of shit work? Is that Postal next to your laptop, with Tony Saprano on the screen, sitting on a desk, in room 210 at the Hilton in Wichita Kansas?????? Oh yes it is. I have been waiting for this, ever since i played the first game 13 years ago (wiki link) (fan site link). I will give my review as soon as I see it. According to G4 its a must buy, plus it comes with the game postal 2 and it comes with the boxing matches between Uwe and the critics.

Reading can be fun



I dont read, I will be the first to admit. Magazines and small articles are ok, but never a book, that is untill a friend turned me on to World War Z. It's about the zombie war, what better is there? This should happen, screw wars, plagues, meteors, religious apacolypse, I want zombies. It took me a couple of months to read it, primarily during my flights and I couldnt wait to get back to it. I suggest everyone read it and learn, because when the shit hits the fan, I dont need people coming ot my for advice.

Deeper in the Midwest....

Well Wichita Kansas, here I am. It looks like Lincoln Nebraska, just in a different state. Although I have only seen it in the dark . Well time for bed, gotta get up in 6 hours for class. Actually class doesnt start till 8, but I want to get there early. I will try and get some pictures of this city in the middle of nothing during the day.

Epic Failure

According to Dassault Systemes (in your best French impression), you must achieve certain goals to become a Certified Dassault Instructor. Now, I already am a CATIA V5 Instructor for Technigraphics, but in order to be recognized by Dassault I need:

-Have 15 Days of Instructing
-Work for a Partner
-Attend a COE
-Pass the teaching competence course
-Become certified in Part Design Specialist, Assembly Design Specialist and Generative Shape Design Specialist
-Choose one Expert field to become certified in, Part Design Expert, Assembly Design Expert or Generative Shape Design Expert

I will more than likely work towards the Part Design Expert track. I have already completed the Part Design Specialist test and I am now recognized by Dassault. Today I took the Assembly and Generative Design test and filed them both. They got me, the first 10 questions got me, I had no idea what they were talking about. So this week while I am in Wichita I will study some more and go back at it again. I was hoping to complete them before my financial review came up in September, but looks like I have to wait.

Thinking Back....

Had I flushed the toilet prior to my toothbrush jumping from my hand and into its yellow death, would I had rinsed it off and continued to use it? When it happened I sat there disgusted, eying the floating Reach and noticing the toilet wasn't flushed. I carefully pulled the toothbrush out and disposed of it. On my way to work I was mad for a split second I hadn't flushed the toilet, but what if I had? Would i have tried to save the toothbrush?

The Photo....

Not sure who this mystery man is. I found this picture on the internet about 6 years ago and ever since he has been a part of my life. Every time I look at it I think of a new story for him, what exactly may have been happening in the picture.

Development

My son, seven years old as of the 12th, has always been a fan of sharks. I believe he first saw Jaws at around 4 years old. He didn't really understand it, just a big shark eating people and someone kills it. One of the things I got for him this birthday was Jaws and Jaws 2. I drove all over looking for the other two but had no luck, looks like I will be ordering them. It was this weekend, while watching Jaws 2 before Jaws, that I realized how he has matured mentally. When the mayor asked chief to lie about the what he thought was the reason the girls died, he asked me why. With kids the word "why" is thrown around a lot, so I didn't think much about it. Then we get to the beach scene, when chief sees the dark shadow in the water, calls the people out and starts shooting at it. When the guy started to yell it was just blue fish Damian started to repeat it, "its just blue fish". Then the action stopped and everyone was looking at chief, and you could tell chief was embarrassed. Damian got mad and told me "Aww man, its just blue fish. See dad, See that. He did the right thing, he thought it was a shark and he did the right thing. He didn't want anyone to get hurt, he just tried to save them". I acknowledged it and told him he was absolutely right, that sometimes you have to take risks like that and not worry what others might think. Later on when everyone saw the little boy get eaten he yelled out "see, he was right, they shouldn't have told him to lie". The next day we watched Jaws where he showed the same feelings toward the characters and the story. I thought it was pretty cool to see the difference in what a couple of years can do. I am sure we will be watching Jaws a lot more and even more when I find the last two.
