Big impact movies

CNN: Woman dies watching ‘Passion’.
Wow. 6 months ago, there wasn’t a film distributer in the world that was going to touch this movie with a 10 meter pole. Too controversial, too anti-semetic they said. Now it’s all the rage. Church groups are buying out theaters and urging everyone to go see it.
You might even die from it.
Ok, ok, it’s probably not quite fair to say that about this movie. But I wonder if now they’ll add a disclaimer or something. Or perhaps a new rating.

This movie rated RH: Restricted. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian. People with heart conditions require accompanying medical personnel.

Blood donation #16

Chalked up my 16th blood donation today since moving to SC. That means over the past 3 years or so, I’ve donated close to 8 liters (2 gallons) of blood. It also means I’ve made 48 or 49 donations since I started donating blood. And since each donation can be used up to 3 different ways, that means I have probably helped as many as 150 people!
Donate now So what are you waiting for? Click the button and make your appointment. You could potentially be helping out 3 other people with just an hour of your spare time. Starve a mosquito, give blood!
BTW, I nabbed the image from the givelife.org website…hope they don’t mind.

I am boring

I am. My wife told me so this morning. She said flat out “Your blog is getting boring”.
She used to find what I wrote funny. But I just haven’t had much funny stuff to write about anymore.
So I hang my head in shame. I can’t even entertain my wife with my writings anymore.
In other boring non-exciting news, I finally got my driver’s license from the DMV yesterday. A shiny new license with a new picture that expires in … 364 days.
