Not being able to go to Stephenville this weekend I decided to save some money and stay in Grand Falls-Windsor, and it has been boring like I thought it would be. I certainly have watched an unhealthy amount of Smallville though...just starting Season 6 as I'm writing this (no I haven't watched all 5 Seasons this weekend).
Friday night I didn't do much so when I got up today I decided to try to do something. I ended up going to the theatre here (which reminds me of Carbonear cinema and its horrendously uncomfortable seats), where I watched "Grown Ups". In my opinion, it is not a good movie. Remember how I mentioned that The Bounty Hunter was good because it had a decent plot to fall back on? Well this was the opposite. This movie just went nowhere. It had a few funny moments, but not moments I really related to. Maybe if I was 40 or had kids I would have been able to relate but at this point, just wasn't able to. Oh well, got me out of the house and I got to experience the theatre here so not a total waste of time.
After the movie I went to get ice cream where across the road was a wedding reception. I saw a Mom go out to her van with three teenagers where she handed out cigarettes to them all and started smoking with them...real classy lady she was. Great role model. Some people are just plain idiots. She is one of them.
Got some free NL Power merch for the Fam too that I'm gonna bring out next weekend.
Have to decide if I want to buy UFC tonight, but $50 is kind of steep.
Attempting to give up eating anything that is deep fried until I go to Florida. I will probably crack soon, but if I manage to make it then I am going to end up going ape shit for some grease as soon as I land in Tampa!
Last but certainly not least....it is Lady's birthday today! She turned 2. I hope she enjoyed her presents. Happy Birthday! If only she could read this...guess I'll have to get her a laptop next year.

What I've Learned From Jersey Shore
I used to think "creeping" was a term used to mean you're freaking a person out. Like if you're acting weird and someone says, "dude, you're really creeping me out". Then the meaning of the word transformed with the launch of Facebook, and suddenly "creeping" meant you were looking at people's profiles without them knowing, getting information on them, etc. which in a way has the same type of freaking people out ability. However the word has transformed again thanks to Jersey Shore. It now means hitting on women/trying to sleep with them. They keep saying how they're always "creeping" on girls and stuff, and it really "creeps" me out cause it sounds like they're just sort of stalking these chicks, and who knows maybe they are, but it seems to work for them! But alas, I've been fortunate enough to witness the evolution of the word "creep". I wonder where it will be by the time I die?
Another thing I learned from last night's episode is that it requires very little training to work in an ice cream store. The manager showed them how to scoop ice cream onto the cone and then they left. No training on cash or the prices, or the opening and closing operations? What is this, The Simple Life? Also I found it quite amusing that the name of the shop owner was Enzo, thereby leaving me to assume he is Italian. Considering only 0.16% of the Miami population speaks Italian, what a coincidence that they managed to find a shop owner who is also a "Guido". Oh Jersey Shore, I still love you so far.

Movie Review: 12 Rounds
My pick this week for mine and Erin's movie thing was 12 Rounds.
If you're a REAL man, you'll enjoy this movie. It is constant action with a lot of pointless carnage. It kept me entertained the whole time, and there wasn't a WHOLE lot of the really far fetched stuff in the movie. So while I am always doubtful when WWE and its employees are involved in movies, this one was actually good. Way better than The Scorpion King.
So if you have a scrotum, go rent 12 Rounds.

Welfs
So after much deliberation and many sleepless nights, I finally figured out why most of my relationships do not work. I'm simply looking for the wrong type of girl. I need a welfare chick if I'm gonna be truly happy. Here's why:
1) They are always very loving and protective of "their man". If you try to get near a welfare chick's boyfriend, you're just asking for a shit storm. If there is one thing they take pride in, and there probably only is one, it is their man. I gotta say that display of love would be a great feeling to wake up to. I can just picture coming home from (I was gonna say work, but I will have to stop working if I want to make this happen) buying lottery tickets and telling my Welf Girl that my ex girlfriend was there talking to me, and then boom she goes and tries to shank the bitch for stepping in her territory. What an exciting life!
2) Livin' on the dole. Let's face it. I enjoy sleeping, and with both of us living off the government I can sleep in all the time.
3) I assume they are appreciative of finer things. If you give a chick who grew up with money a nice necklace or bracelet, it's not really a big deal, but if you give a chick who lived off Mr. Noodles the same thing...it's going to be a happy ending for you, if you catch my drift.
4) From what I can tell, welf chicks are always boning. Once again the not having a job thing probably plays a big factor in this, but based on the number of kids they have popping around they are always having sex...condomless sex. Really, who doesn't want that?
5) And since they have kids who they don't really care about, you have someone to take all your frustrations and failures out on. I'm not talking about just physical abuse, but you can tear into these kids mentally as well, and if they try to fight back their Mom will beat their ass. Why? Cause you don't mess with a Welf chick's man, that's why!
So that's my little spiel on the benefits of dating a chick who requires Government Assistance. Lock down the jewellery box Mom, cause I'm finding one and bringing her home!

Movie Review: The Bounty Hunter
Watched The Bounty Hunter with Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston yesterday, and I must say I enjoyed it. It wasn't a laugh out loud funny movie, but it was highly entertaining. Unlike most romantic comedies it has a decent plot to fall back on for when the comedy is lacking in the movie, plus it had the evil guy from The Mask (Peter Greene - who apparently I share a birthday with, thanks IMDB) in it as the bad guy, so that's always a bonus. Sure he is a terrible actor, but he has that sort of Eric Roberts effect on me where you know he's terrible but you're just happy to see him anyway in almost a comedic type way. Speaking of which, can't wait to find out E Rob's role in The Expendables!
One thing I noticed though is that whenever Gerard Butler eats in a movie, it grosses me out. The way he chews and talks with his mouth full, it seems like it happens in most movies he is in (well at least this one and Law Abiding Citizen), and it's kind of gross. But on the plus side I would still totally do Jennifer Aniston, she still has it from her Rachel days, and anything with Jason Sudekis or most of the other SNL actors in it gets extra points from me, because they can make anything funny (think Kristen Wiig).
So if you haven't seen it, watch The Bounty Hunter. Good time.

Always Trying To Learn
In order to justify my recent decision to watch Jersey Shore Season 2, I have decided to try to learn at least one thing from each episode I watch so that I'm not just voluntarily melting my brain, and since I blog now I figure this is a good place to put what I learn.
Well the first thing I learned, but I should have known this already, is that they are a bunch of douchebags; yet I am oddly jealous of them. They are pretty much living the life, and they do whatever they want, so I figure maybe being a douche is the way to go, but I think I'll hold off on the transformation to complete douche for now.
The second thing I learned:
Grenade = Fat Ugly Chick
Landmine = Skinny Ugly Chick
See I'm already being educated. That is all I have learned from one week of Jersey Shore, can't wait to continue my education on Thursday 11 P.M. Eastern/10 Central.
In other news my Shin Splints (old man legs) have picked the worst possible time to return since I'm supposed to play in a National Qualifier this weekend, but now I can't run and the doctor suggests taking at least 3 weeks rest. I might have to pass on the tournament, but if we do not have enough players then I will be doping on pain killers all weekend and hoping I don't cause more damage. Fun times...

Glory Days
Came to St. John's for the weekend, and like usual tried to make the best of my time in here, and I would consider it a job well done.
Thursday night was George Street Fest for me and Our Lady Peace was playing. Started out with a BBQ at Kim's which was good, then we headed down and got there just in time for OLP. Despite being late we all managed to get into the second row of people for the show. I've never been that close for a concert before I don't think. The only issue I had with it was it was hard to hear Raine's voice, the instruments were over powering it because of our proximity to the speakers. However, great show as always. This marks the 4th time I have seen OLP live and I have never been disappointed, and for only 30 bucks you can't go wrong.
So I figured we'd be going home shortly after OLP, but Erin wanted to stay downtown for a while...I didn't realize a while would be until after 3 a.m. I didn't drink much, but not getting to bed until 4 am (not an OLP reference), was kind of brutal since I had to get up at 8 and had a meeting at 9. But I had fun downtown, made a new friend and well saw pretty much my entire history of ex-girlfriends on the street.
Speaking of which, Friday after I went to Boston Pizza with Erin (had the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich), I went to Yuk Yuks with Kara, Burns, Mark and William and it was a great show. Especially the host for the night, he had me doing my seagull laugh all night. It was fantastic. Not so fantastic however is when I see Angie, who is sitting in the chair right behind me, so when we both turned towards the stage, we were basically sitting next to each other. Hella awkward but I did not let it ruin my good time, which I am proud to say.
Saturday, played some softball, had the pizza party where we shared a lot of old stories about our "Glory days". It's crazy to realize all the things we used to do and how much we used to drink. Makes me miss those days a bit. It's easy to forget you're almost 25 sometimes!
Also saw Dinner for Schmucks today. It was funnier than I was expecting. I have high expectations for Paul Rudd but low for Steve Carell, but it worked out well. One of two sentimental moments, but other than that a decent comedy. I would recommend seeing it, and well obviously my taste in movies is great. Anyone who has seen my collection of DVD's might disagree with that though.
Anyway that was a summary of my weekend. Back to GFW tomorrow. I'll miss hanging out with my peeps, even my often annoying best friend, but I will be back in two weekends so hopefully that weekend will be just as good.
Gone to watch the rest of this UFC card, take care.
