What the f*ck! I don't know how I missed this, but I just found out that they remade The Omen!

Money grubbing bastards! Messing with a perfectly good movie.

Haven't they learned yet that you cannot remake a horror movie that was perfectly good the first time around and actually improve on it?

Let's see...remakes...

Texas Chainsaw Massacre...CRAP!
Psycho...Gus Van Sant jerking off...CRAP!
Amityville Horror...CRAP!

I think the only time this has worked was Cape Fear.

The only time I've seen a remake of a good movie was when they revamped the story and took it in a different direction. Good examples are...

Dawn of the Dead
The Ring

Why not remake movies that had potential but were crap. That would be cool.

Commies!

There's been a lot going on lately and I haven't gotten to post much recently. Erin and Sophia are well. Sophia has started creeping across the floor on her belly. It's soooo cute to watch. She is constantly amazing us. She's almost sitting up completely on her own...I'll have to get some pictures. She has such a personality on her. Just this afternoon we had a 20 minute bought of the giggles. I just kept looking at her on the changing table and kept saying, "Boo!" to her and she would just laugh hysterically. I love her little laugh. I'll have to see if I can record it.

There are more pictures of her here: http://519photo.smugmug.com/gallery/1070347/9

I've created a My Space page. The link is in the sidebar to the left. I've also placed a link to Erin's My Space page there as well.

Things are busy and with my vacation coming up I'm looking forward to a bit of a break.

It's my birthday on Friday. 31 years old. Hmm...never thought about being in my 30's and now that I'm there it's a tad weird. No big deal I guess as I've still got a long way to go.

Ooh! Almost forgot! Erin, Sophia and I went to the Lilac Festival Parade this past Saturday with the Tripps (see their photo site here). It was a lot of fun and I got the chance to take some great photographs.

Here's one of them:

Sophia loved the marching bands. Every time one would go by she would start kicking her legs, waving her little arms and squealing with delight. It was just a lot of fun.

One other quick story from that day...

While waiting for the parade to start two men (let's call them bible thumpers) walked up and down the parade route several times yelling about the sins of society and how the only way into heaven was through Jesus (Erin spoke up that she thought it was through the door *laugh*). I couldn't help but think that if these guys would put as much energy into helping people as they put into walking up and down a crowded street yelling at people who aren't listening the world would truly be a better place.

If there's one thing I know, it's that to truly walk the path of Christ one must bring charity to the less fortunate, tend to the sick, lift up those who have been pushed down and show love to those whom society has deemed least deserving of it. The key is compassion, forgiveness and love.

But, hey, what the hell do I know. I don't go to church, I tell Jesus jokes and my favorite t-shirt says "WWJD for a Klondike Bar" on it.

Anyway...sorry if I got preachy...didn't intend to. It's just something that's been on my mind lately.

Got to run. Tired and I need to sleep.

Do me (yourself and someone else) a favor and be nice. A single act of kindness can start a chain reaction and change the world...or at least your little corner of it.

Sophia turned 5 months old this past Saturday. Along with that milestone she also cut her two front bottom teeth. Erin and I felt so bad for her. She was sooo grumpy while those teeth cut through her little gums. We looked in her mouth this morning and it doesn't look like it will be long before she cuts the front top teeth.

Here's a picture of Sophia from Saturday when my dad and step-mom came to visit...



As for everything else...

There really isn't much going on. But, hey...no news is good news, right?

Wow! Sophia is a whole four months old! It's hard to believe. It feels like we just brought her home from the hospital. She is a happy and talkative little thing. No, she hasn't started using real words yet but once you get her going with her little babbling she just doesn't stop.

Erin and I took her to JC Penny's to have pictures done last weekend. We should have those very soon. Being a photography snob I wasn't too pleased with the quality of the pictures but when all was said and done they came out pretty well and we had a coupon so they were cheap. I'll post the scans after we get them back.

Here is a picture that I took the other day.



It's my new favorite.

I'll have more postings as time permits. I've really got to find time to post those other funny pics that I found.

Hope everyone is well.

For those of you that don't already know, my car was sold this past week. YEEEHAAAA!!! A young kid from Buffalo bought it for $6300. Not too bad considering that I only owed $5300 on it. It's been such a huge relief to have it gone. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. I'll be the first to admit that I was somewhat sad to see it go. It was my first car that I bought after starting with EDS and it was the first that was entirely in my name (my Colt was registered to my mother). I had my fun with it and now it's time to move on. Besides...I still have the BATMOBILE!!!

In other news...Sophia and Erin are doing well. PeeWee is almost 4 months old! It is truly amazing to realize that almost one third of a year has gone by since Sophia came into the world. I think it will somehow always feel that way.

I have more pictures posted so feel free to take a look. I'll be highlighting some of them on this page very soon.

Hope everyone is well. More to come very soon.

BTW: Something cool of note...I am writing this entry entirely from my new Dell PDA! More about that another time.
