Rescue Dawn The Movie
Why did I see this movie called Rescue Dawn when I rarely see movies nowadays? Because my former neighbor from my childhood days of Frisbie St. from where I was first born was featured in that movie Galen Yuen. He recently had e-mailed me recommending the movie as this was one of the movies he has been in as an actor. It was very well done not the movie people are ranting and raving about as I know it. When it comes to movies a movie reviewer I am not but this movie Rescue Dawn was quite good I can clearly see it as being one of my favorites from day one I compare it to the famed movie director Stanley Kubrik who directed my all time favorite "Full Metal Jacket" another movie about the rigors of military training it takes to fight a war in Vietnam. My review of this movie Rescue Dawn will not stop here. See it I was impressed and this is pretty good for not being a movie regular viewer. My prediction is that I will see this movie Rescue Dawn many times over quite the excellent movie line I had been searching for. To say it was very entertaining would be an understatement. It was much more than that.

In The Day Of My Mother
She reached her ninety eighth birthday not long ago. A year earlier I went on as a caller to the Christine Craft talk show on KGO radio 810 and spoke about my mother having reached such an advanced age. Interesting subject matter I say. I was asked how it was for my mother to be able to reach such and age. She doesn't ride skateboards anymore. But it is fantastic she could reach this age as I related to Christine Craft. I shall not brag please as my belief it is a sin to do so having seen my father suffer in his later years at the age of eighty nine from age old ailments God showed him mercy when he was allowed to pass on to natural death. My mother never did receive a college degree but she did receive ninety eight years of life and then some and that in itself to her is an accomplishment. I recorded my conversation with Christine Craft on the air played it back to my wife and she was delighted. I trust I did not err.

The War IN Afghanistan
Oh boy. This isn't an easy subject. You think writing about war and peace is easy? Pat Thurston speaks. I know nothing about this place but there is a war going on there. Playing the video game called Call Of Duty is better to engage than going into real war situations. So why may you ask am I writing about this subject as if I'm in a political science class in college? I was never totally adverse to school and college. As for the horse races yes one of those races happen and the sports writers and commentators don't have to worry about me taking over their jobs. I did draw a fine picture of a few horses however and yes some were traced but oh boy it was fun to do it at the time. Even if it is tracing a commitment was made to see and feel the lines and see the colors fill up the picture within the borders of the subject. People love pictures and for what it represents. I thought I was suppose to write about war? I must be wide awake.

Hobbies And Pastimes Keep A Soul Alive
Discovering varied hobbies can keep a man or anyone alive. Enthusiasm does it giving one the will to live out ones life. My philosophy in life is that we can live out our lives accordingly. It doesn't have to be a life of tragedy. Wish upon a star you don't have to see so very far it is closer than you think go ahead and blink before you know it the ball will drive in to sink. I could get the Pulitzer Prize for poetry one day you think go ahead give me a wink!
