Blogging...

Okay, my very first week of officially blogging and i am almost over the hump.  I've so far managed to write a few posts (though i am not sure if anyone read them) (wait, my girlfriend told me she kindly read it - so i do have one reader - though sans commentary).  I have managed to leave a comment on a friend's blog (thank you uptown girl).  Don't know why i was so psyched to do that - i guess i didn't officially feel like a blogger until i at least left a commentary on someone else's blog.  Now on to the next big phase, randomly following other blogger's blogs (is that worded correct?).  Or is the etiquette that one should only wait until being invited to join their blog and become a follower.  i guess this sort of feels like when a vampire needs to be invited to enter your home before taking a step in first.  sorry, too much twilight.  anyhow, what are the rules on that?  is there a site that tells you all the do's and don'ts about blogging for bloggers...if so, please do so send me the manual or rule book.  Anyhow, i am pledging, until i am told otherwise to just complement other blogger's blogs and join them.  hey, i'm giving them props for having a good post or two, they can at least allow me to become an avid follower.  I may even leave a comment here and there.  so there you have it.  i'd like to have other's follow my blog. but i'll start small.  i'm on this owning it phase, so i am owning this blog.

its 1:00 a.m. yes i am an insomniac.  but i had this on my mind, so i had to write.  i'm also planning on updating the look and feel of this blog with a better design.  this was just the first phase.

i recently, yes i'll admit it, as a straight male, saw the movie julie and julia.  okay normally i'd cut my left foot off before admitting to that.  but hey, i was  hanging out with my girlfriend and she was  watching it.  and heck, i did enjoy it too.  mainly cause amy adams is hot.  and well it was funny.  a movie about a woman who blogs (okay i am officially starting a new section, category, thingamadoo called City John at the Movies) her way through Julia Child's famous Cookbook.  Great Movie, good acting, again, Amy Adams is hot.  I happen to like brunettes and she is one of them.  And i thought in this age of movies that all start to look alike, it was a new refreshing story.  the only negative, afterwards i looked up the story, on google, the real story as it was based on a true story, and well hate to disappoint anyone, but the actual person whom the movie was based on, well she cheated on her husband.  Soooo. well they are working it out, last i read..but still.  i do understand why they left that part out of the movie..although i did feel cheated and lied to also.  but then again, amy adams is hot.  The real woman, can't remember her name, in an effort to work through this new pain of having cheated on her husband and her marriage possibly crumbling, oddly got into studying the "art" of becoming a butcher.  okay i don't get that one. She cheats on her husband and decides to take up slicing up beef as a study course in argentina.  so was the movie ruined for me after knowing all of this? hmm not really.  no not because amy adams is hot - although that would be a perfectly and justifiable reason.  but because i am choosing to stay with the original story and keep that part in mind.

I guess what i am saying, is that there is a reason why movies and hollywood are considered a fantasy world.  because if they had allowed the real truth into the movie, we would have lost the real meaning...stick with things....don't give up, and commit...stay driven even when things look their bleakest.  in the end, if you keep the wheels spinning, eventually something will happen.  and i sort of related to it to in that i am one of those people who when i put my mind to something i really go all out with.  i am an all or nothing person in that i just keep going even if things are not going my way at first.  i guess i am both stubbornly resiliant and persistantly determined - hee hee i'll have to ask my better half girlfriend if that is a good quality to have 15 years from now.   so okay i get it.  and i respect that.  and yes, you are correct in that Amy Adams is hot...enough said.  City John needs his sleep.  :)
