Took Friday off because if the holiday lands on the weekend, I don't get the Monday off I just work the 5 days and get paid for the stat so like a 6 days work week. Well half way through Friday my boss texts me and says something changed for some reason now they are giving me the Monday off. So it just turned into a 4 day weekend. You don't realize how much you hate your job until you have a few days off and have to come back to work.
I’m currently on paternity leave until August. I’m running out of things to binge watch. Today I saw Face/Off is on Netflix. It’s probably the most 90s action movie ever made. The movie holds an 80% rating on rotten tomatoes. If released today it would get maybe 5%. If you have two hours to spare do yourself a favor and watch.
Here's to lowering your standards while wearing your pajamas. John Woo directed that, didn't he? That's one of the movies with the startled flock of birds scene, right? I get it and Mission Impossible II mixed up, since I haven't seen them since. But, isn't one of those bird scenes in slow-mo? Is if Face/Off? ETA: Oh, both movies also have some double-gun shoot outs, too, iirc.
Woo specializes in two things: twin .45’s and slow-motion doves. His best movies came before Hollywood: The Killer, Hard Bolied, and A Better Tommorow 2. Those films are a ballet of slaughter done perfectly.
Huh... firing anvils at drones... it's quite interesting. Nowhere near as interesting as how slow the "fire in the hole!" guy is as he saunters away from the explosions, never mind how close he still is to it when it blows up. Serious July 4th WTF action, if you ask me. Be sure to watch to the end, where you see the near miss with the bowling ball mortar.
I'm just mad I didn't think of it first. Launching anvils at drones seems like a very healthy, patriotic hobby. Russian drones won't stand a chance if the anvil militia ever gets their shit all in one sock.
People must watch that hotdog contest for the same reason they watch female bodybuilding or stare at really lousy hair plugs. What a bunch of freaks.
Hopefully this is me celebrating independence from shitty luck. In the past 4 days, in order: - someone backed my truck into another vehicle and wrecked it (fortunately they have good insurance) - I was accidentally stabbed in the hand after I was handed a knife blade-first and I turned around and swung into it - dislocated a finger playing basketball I’m gonna celebrate our independence from the British by rule by buying a new concealed carry handgun they certainly wouldn’t approve. Which I know runs contrary to the above stuff about bad luck, but, whatever.
This is the greatest CCTV clip I have ever seen. And it’s somehow from Canada. I can’t believe that this footage is real, it’s better than ten movies. The music fits the bill perfect:
Months on end without rain, weeks of 100+ days, 20 mph wind....Let's shoot off fireworks! Fucking ignorant bastards in this town, it sounds like a war zone.
You really need to go blow something up... AFTER setting up the GoPro. Fucking Dudley DooWright with his taser... and a couple of fucking retards... always good for a laugh. I can only imagine what it must be like working as an EMT or Fire Fighter on nights like tonight... "Man down... left hand fireworks injury... tourniquet in full effect.."
In other news... The sangria is fucking insanely potent right now. I have to think that it's close to 5 ounces of 40% booze right now. Even after a family BBQ on Monday, I have 12 mason jars left over... it's like the best diabetic shock ever.
I love Sangria but I never get smashed on it. The sugary hangover nukes you from orbit so much your spine picks up AM signals from Radio Havana. It’s easy to drink without binging, it’s just a refreshing summer cocktail. Like mojitis, wallbangers or daiquiris.
