As in the past I wanted to put a post on my site in regards to Kramer’s wedding and bachelor party. With vanberge and payner the discussion in regards to their celebrations being two of my more popular posts on my site I wanted something pubic to be in place to discuss. There are emails that are flying around and people making plans and people waiting on plans to be made….
Personally I’m not sure what is going on. At this junction I believe I’m “out” on any plans in regards to a group commute (aka “the van”). I’m viewing my options and trying to figure something out for both myself and Che at this point. Other then Russ and Goedge I believe no one else has made their travel arrangements.
Regardless I’m very excited for Kramer’s Bachelor Party. From what I’ve gathered from payner it should be a good gathering for kramer as a send off into marragehood. For most everybody I know it’s been a busy summer (myself included) and I hope everybody is doing well.
To lighten the mood I’m going to show everybody a photo of Horatio Caine.

Woke up this morning…checked my mail of e…and apparently my cat recieved more mail then I did.
Bastards…
Friday I saw The Dark Knight. I normally don’t write many movie reviews but mostly I would really like “jja” to post about the film as his movie reviews are normally really good so I’ll write up a few thoughts about the movie. I also want to thank vanbergs for taking me to the movies on a old school mandate for my birthday. It was much apprecieated.
The first thing I want to state is sadly something I’m going to ripoff from my favorite movie website. If somebody said it well already no reason not to quote them.
The Dark Knight, and films like it, give me hope for the future of movies. It is a good, solid story, and not afraid to show us the dark. Thanks to all of you for making this fable the biggest grosser of all time - you have redeemed my faith in the North American movie going public.
After the travesty that is Spider Man 3 I’m very happy a movie that is actually good is the highest first week earner.
The Dark Knight is the movie Batman Begins built towards. They fixed many problems (Katie Holmes/Combat). For an established property that is not rated R The Dark Knight is about as good as it’s going to get.
I wish the movie had a tumbler sequence as that was maybe my favorite part from the first movie (other then the ejection from the subway) but the batcycle was alright. The fighting is much improved. I enjoyed Harvey Dent and The Joker much more then I thought I would. Really other then nitpicking I can’t find much wrong with the movie.
Highly recommended but not “really” for children but that is exactly how it should be…well at least for me. JJA’s post will hopefully be better then mine.
My Google Reader Shared Links
Most of my time online is spent either working, chatting, and in Google Reader. Sadly Google Reader doesn’t track who is reading your items so really I’m not sure if anybody likes what I’m sharing out or really even reading it. On average I spend about 30 mins daily reading my items and share out what interests me or an item I think somebody else may find some interest in.
Mostly I’m looking for feedback from the people who read my shared items. Should I share less, or more often. Should I vary what I’m sharing? Some of the items I share for my own records so I can find a post quickly or for later reading. Let me know….
My very trusty and old Dell Latitude C840 is offically perishing. At this point when trying to do a regular boot of Windows I get graphical glitches on the Windows XP splash screen and then a black screen. The laptop still works in safe mode but as my only mobile device I need to make some plans to replace it.
Though work I get some decent discounts on laptops from Apple and Dell. If I decided to purchase a Macbook Pro I could get about 8% off. That isn’t a great deal but removes sales tax then a few extra dollars off the list price. If I decided to go for a Dell I could save some extra bucks but in all honesty a Dell really isn’t as nice as a Apple.
Has anybody recently bought or come in poession of a laptop? I’m looking for recomendations and suggestions. At this point I don’t plan on buying a laptop ASAP but mostly just looking for ideas.
I really dislike writing about work. I really dislike even talking about work but today is an interesting day for me. After years of spectating construction today I’ve had the opportunity to work at the Lemmen Holton Cancer Pavilion.
When I first started working at Spectrum Health was around the time when they started construction on the new building. Years back about where the sexy turn around now is there used to be a Burger King. I was working the day they tore that bitch down.
Though the years since I no longer work downtown I would take periodic walks to keep up to speed on the construction. It’s a crazy thought to be working in this building I’ve been watching be constructed for years.
If anybody gets a chance check out this propaganda that was shown in the Grand Rapids Press. The building is impressive.
Today I went four a four mile run and came to the conclusion the new Disturbed CD is absolutely badass.
Now with that out of the way…..
For years Disturbed has been my favorite band. Some of my favorite memories from college and beyond have revolved around the band.
I can remember when the Prayer video was released in 2002 and fully understanding there is not a lead singer that is more epic then David from Disturbed.
I can remember being at Ozzfest 2001 and being demanded to put my “mo**erf**king fists in the air”!
I can remember seeing the Music is a Weapon tour in 2006 and watching Che sing all the lyrics to “The Game” . A memory I will never forget.

As you get older your tastes change and your heroes let you down but Disturbed has always rocked. The new offerings are just as good if not better then their old material. These feelings maybe because we have been graced with some “New Disturbed” but trust me there are some good tracks. Go for a jog. Go for a bike ride. Mow the lawn. Clean the house. Get moving and listen to the new tracks they won’t disappoint. I would suggest if you can get MP3’s of the b-sides ‘Run‘ and ‘Parasite‘ your iPod will deliver a much improved “Indestructible” experience.
Disclaimer: This post spawned in seeing if there is any interest in going to see Disturbed/Slipknot Sat, Aug 9, 2008 at DTE Energy Music Theatre. There has been some “rumblings” about attending but nothing set in stone. Discuss….
